Anna glared up at the hive, tempted to knock it down. "Just... Why is it in a tree?!"She repeated. "That can't be structurally sound! What if a strong wind blows by?! A-And why is it so Tiny?!"She asked, not being able to wrap her head around it.

Rallin :
"The insects seem to have faith in their structure." I said looking up at the hive, "Sometimes it is better to trust that nature is planned out in it's own way."

"But Nature's wrong! What if it falls? If these things live in it they're too tiny to move it! What if someone comes by and knocks it off the tree?"Anna asked. "It's just Wrong!"She shouted. She glanced at the ground, and began digging a small hole. Once she was satisfied with the hole she spat in it several times and glanced up at the hive, reaching up to it.

"Anna!" I barked, grabbing the girl's tail clip in my teeth and mumbling, "Domph! Yourff goingf to break it!"
Obliviously the bees continues their business, though surely someone touching their home would gain their attention.

Anna didn't listen, soon grabbing onto the hive, and giving a hard tug, pulling it off the branch after a few pulls. She bent down place the hive in the hole, beginning to kick dirt in to better affix the hive. Anna blinked when bees began flying out of the hive. "Aret hey trying to thank me for fixing their hive?"She asked confused.

Rallin :
I dropped the girl's fake tail and practically flipped over backwards to get away from the stirring hive. Bees began pouring out of the hole like water and latching their feet onto the first thing they saw. Most became occupied with Annalita, though a few bugs managed to grab my nose and once they had a hold they erected their stingers. With a squeal I darted into the grass, flopped onto my side and began frantically rubbing my face in the dirt.
The bees were crushed into the sand but their stingers held firm in my thin nose skin.

Annalita yelped when they began to sting her. "OW! STOP IT!"Anna demanded, trying to push as many bees off of her body as she could. By now she'd been stung more than enough times by the bees. One landed on the jewel on her choker, and dug its stinger into it. The jewel glowed as a purple light engulfed Anna and the bees. The bees buzzed off, backing away from the light. In the light Anna was changing, though she didn't know it.
Her back popped and grew. Soon her entire torso had elongated two maybe three feet. Her legs shrunk and changed, becoming more animal like as her shoes and pants faded away, as did her top, thankfully leaving her vest. Her choker soon faded as well. Her hands and feet became paws as her body was covered in fur. Though her helmet remained, her ears changed as well. Her mouth poked out slightly becomign a very small snout, and her nose turned pink and became wet. The light faded and Anna plopped over, with center of gravity having changed. She looked down at herself confused, before noticing the Bees coming in to attack again. "W-Wait! I was just trying to help!"Anna yelped, rolling onto her belly and darting off.

Rallin :
My flailing had stirred up a dust cloud which, thankfully,, hid me from the bees that had yet to attack. When I could feel no new stingers breach my face I stopped and lay on my side. My eyes were watering, both from being assaulted by dust and the insects, but aside from a sore snout I suppose I was fine.
"Anna!" I shot to my feet, though then woozily wobbled to the side.
The venom from the bees was affecting my senses. I could barely smell as the bloated skin on my nose closed my nostrils, and my ears were also ringing with the buzzing air.
"Anna!" I spotted what I thought was the girl just before she darted off, "Smoke!"
I cursed and chased after her.

Anna continued running, not stopping. After a few moments she slowed down, coming to a full stop when she saw a rock a head. She ran behind it, curling up into a ball, trembling.

Rallin :
The bees' small wings grew tired quickly, and they ceased chasing Annalita. Over my head the bugs flew back to their hive and I began to slow my pace. I was panting, and my nose itched like crazy, but I didn't want to stop until I was sure the troublesome girl I journeyed with was okay.
Finally I saw something furry poke out from behind a rock. I assumed it was Annalita's tail clip, so I approached without caution. But then, I moved around the stone, I yiped and sprung back with fur on end. What I saw behind the rock was a brown and tan animal with large paws. The sight of it confused me and, not knowing what to do, I growled at the thing I had found.

Anna peeked out from her protective ball, clearly having begun crying. "Wh-what are you doing?"She asked, confused.

Rallin :
My growling was instinctual, a habit I had taken to when I became scared or surprised, but once I heard the familiar voice I calmed.
"Anna?" I stood straighter, "What in this world has happened to you?!"

Anna blinked. "I-I dunno..... This just.... happened...."Anna said, looking down at herself, equally confused.

Rallin :
I frowned my long animal lips and looked away.
"This sort of thing happens...I suppose...You really shouldn't have disturbed that nest, those bees will die now if they remain on the ground."
I walked over to the girl and, without warning, grabbed the now beastly creature by the scruff of her vest. If she struggled I would pull harder, until the girl was up on her paws.
"I want to help you but even I have limits to my patients. You must promise me to behave yourself and follow my instruction now or I will have to leave you here."
I was serious. This creature called Annalita was quickly becoming a hazard to me. If she continued to act sporadically and ignore my warnings then I could not afford to have her accompany in this dangerous wilderness.
"I do not want to leave you, especially now that you have changed as I have, but I must consider my own survival as well as yours."

In all honesty Anna was relieved to hear that the tiny bugs, apparently called bees, would die. All she was trying to do was show them who to properly build a hive. Once Rallin mentioned leaving her, Anna's ears flattened. "I-I'll do what you say just don't leave me!"Anna yelped. "You're the only person I've met who can help me get to the East Direction!"Anna yelped.
