“Ach, mein Gott, vat do ve haff here?” the old crone cackled standing in the doorway, looking down at the squirming college student before her. “Tsk*, I know, you didn’t sink witches were real, ja? Vell, maybe not in zis country anymore, no, but I am from ze OLD world. Zis country rooted us out nearly 400 years ago, but I came here loooong after all zis nonsense vas finished. I just vanted to be left alone, you see? Alone to enjoy my solitude here in ze voods mit Rufus, my Familiar. I see you two haff already met.” The woman squirmed, her transformation continuing as the old woman talked. She found herself unable to run, unable to speak, merely pinned in place by the force of the woman’s words, her body contorting and transforming before her very eyes. “Solitude, ja.” The old woman snapped, her face now becoming stern, looking at the woman before her with reproach, if not contempt. “Solitude! But zen…” the crone’s face softened again as she walked slowly around the transforming girl. “Zen your sorority began sending vomen up here during your “pledges”, a stupid practice. I ignored you at first, content to let zen take a look and leave only with a story. But you just kept comink!” the crone said in exasperation, her pronunciation reflecting her deeply German roots. “A few then began leaving with warts, boils, or a rash that wouldn’t go away. I thought zat vould keep you away. But nein, alas, you kept on comink. And now you, here you are girl…so pretty, such youth left in you. And Rufus, you know, he told me he thought you could be different. He has been bored lately, no longer interested in the field mice. But, 400 years of catching mice - I’m not surprised! So I tell him, ok, zis one, she can stay. I’m sure you two will become very well acquainted soon…” the crone cackled, still standing over the woman. “Oh don’t vorry…” she said, seeing the expression on the girl’s face, “he’s not an animal, not really. Just a rude German youth who also became too familiar with my home, maaaany, maaaany years ago now. But I digress, you two can discuss such sings yourselves here shortly. You vill haff so much time to get…familiar…” The crone cackled again at her own joke, trundling back up the stairs and through the door into the cabin, leaving the woman to finish her transformation under the watchful eye of Rufus, sitting patiently nearby, tail twitching intently…”

Enjoy guys! This was originally intended to be posted on Halloween, but I couldn’t get the images processed in time. Hope they stand on their own!
