Now You See

I was busy at work when a customer came in with an unreasonable demand. That on its own is fine, but she managed to make the request in a sickeningly-sweet voice and ended it with "Thanks, Jackie!" I growled, too low for her to hear but the change was already starting in my hands. I gripped the table and gritted my teeth, taking a few breaths to centre myself and telling her "No problem." She looked at me funny, but she left.

Cataena had already taken hold, pulling my hands out into claws when I wasn't paying attention. I was almost off work anyways, so I packed up and headed to the bathroom as she pushed her way out of my body. I was keeping my face hidden with my jacket as it started forming a muzzle when I heard that voice again. "Oh, Jackie, by the way..." I turned and growled at her, menace in my expression. Her eyes widened as she stammered and I took a step towards her. "You do not..." I took another step. "...call me..." I was in her face, my own finally reaching half-cat. "...Jackie." I stared at her and huffed in her face, growling and baring my fangs. She looked at me in horror for a bit, finally mustering up a whispered "sorry" and running out of the bathroom.

...Not looking forward to going back to work on Monday, hopefully they'll write it off as a hallucination on her part.
