<div style="text-align: justify;">Marissa felt confused. It was a strange feeling, as though something wasn’t right. No, nothing was really wrong. But Marissa felt that something was missing. Not something she held dear. But something she had been used to having around - namely, her counterpart. It was strange, though. It was as though losing a sibling that only caused problems. At one hand, there was a sense of relief at not having those problems any further. And on the other hand, there was a small sense of emptiness, of a void that needed to be filled.<br/><br/>Whatever the situation was, though, Marissa wouldn’t have time to think much. Not when she had been bitten and left exposed to the light of the full moon. <br/><br/>What she felt was… strange. Sensations she had never felt before coursed through her body and mind. Pain was a sensation she was used to. But that other feeling was different. It was unlike anything she had ever experienced. It was a primal rage, something like anger, but stronger. It was a deep sense of injustice, a sense that she had never really had what she should have. <br/><br/>But now, she could have it. She could take it, and there was nothing to stop her. It was a surge of energy she had never felt before. It was a sense of a different power, a power she had never had in her hands.<br/><br/>It lasted just for a while, though. The pain became stronger as the light of the full moon hit her eyes. The beast wanted to come out. As it was the first time, the process was long and painful. At the end of it, Marissa - or her new form - dropped to the ground, panting. Her fur was golden like her hair, and her eyes, while wild and hungry, were still deep blue. <br/><br/>The creature was weakened by the pain of the first change, but it sniffed the air and howled, before trying to get closer to the other creature. Pushed only by pure instinct, she moved closer to it and start sniffing it, trying for a recognition.</div>
