One Strange Night (Werecat!AU)

Another Tuesday.

Demi made the long walk from college to her apartment. Turning around at every noise she heard, her paranoia was really getting to her. The rickety apartment was  looming in the distance. Demi was about to enter the door when she saw a black cat leap in front of her.

Their bright green eyes met hers, then they walked away. Demi shrugged. Probably nothing.

She traveled the elevator up to the fifth floor. She then walked to her tiny room. Finally, Demi could relax. She belly flopped on the bed.

A few minutes later, there was a noise. Demi woke up suddenly and hid under her blanket. She scoured the room with her eyes. She saw something in the mirror and left the comfort of her bed to examine it. Something green was swirling in there, like out of a fairytale. Demi could still see her reflection, but it looked very different. What was it? Demi had no idea.

Out of the mirror there came a glass. The green swirls transferred to the liquid inside it. The image inside the mirror became the night sky, a much different night sky. She could see the moon and stars in the mirror, unlike the foggy sky outside her apartment window.

"Drink.", she heard a voice say.

Why would she listen to that random voice? It could be somebody trying to poison her...

Walking upon the windowsill, the same cat from before winked at Demi. She wondered how it got there.

"You've been chosen to join us, Demeter." the voice called again.

"Demeter?" Demi asked out loud.

"Your Jellicle name." the voice responded. Demi rolled her eyes. What the heck? Her life was a fantasy now, huh? She held the glass, and after more persuading, reluctantly sipped it.

The liquid tasted strange, like wet cat food. At first, Demi thought it was gross, but she eventually loved it! She drank down the whole thing.

As soon as she finished, her strawberry blonde hair grew at least three feet. It then produced cat ears out of the top. A tail came out of her back. Demi looked in the mirror. She looked like some creature from an anime.

That didn't last long. The hair soon stuck to Demi's body and turned horizontal. It then shrunk. The hair at the top of her head became a small tuft surrounding her new ears, which she was now hearing out of.

Black patterns produced out of nowhere, as her hair, well fur now, as the main coat became a beautiful shade of gold. Her position adjusted as more patterns appeared, she now felt like a cat.

The biker gloves Demi was wearing seemed to grow claws. They attached themselves to her body, it tickled.

Demi stopped for a second to try and regain control, but then she realized she didn't want to be in control. She wanted this cat inside her- the Jellicle, Demeter- to have control.

Demeter stretched and kicked her limbs. They felt like new. She danced beautifully from her subconscious- she could never dance before.

"Welcome." the voice called out to Demeter one more time, as the mirror enlarged, becoming a portal.

Demeter stepped in, being surrounded by the stars and moon, and more importantly, ones like her.

"New friend!", a younger one shouted, coming after Demeter with her friends. Soon enough, many Jellicles were surrounding Demeter, she talked to all of them.

Mid-conversation, there was a crash. Demeter's old self started to come out, becoming paranoid and anxious.

"It's okay, Demeter. We' ll help you.", a red Jellicle told Demeter. After calming down, the two sparked up a conversation. Her name was Bombalurina and she told Demeter that this transformation would happen every night. He Jellicle Cats were the friends Demeter never knew she needed.

She couldn't wait.
