Hidden

The golden door knocker rattled as the large brown door slammed shut as a brunette
haired teenager hurried up the cobbled driveway.
Concerned looks followed her as she hurried through the small village, black mascara running down her face turning the clear river into a black river.

Soon she was clear from the village as she made her way into a field close to the road.
She soon stopped hurrying and sat on a fence close to the local farm.

She pulled a white tissue and a small square pocket mirror and began to clean up her face.
“Hey there!” came a strange rough voice.
The teen looked around startled and confused as she couldn’t see anyone,
“Who???” she stammered.
“In front of you!” replied the voice.

She looked down and nearly fell off of the fence when she saw a ram standing right in front of her.
“What the.... am I going crazy?” she questioned herself.
“Nope, you see, I was once like you a normal human but then I met this tall grey haired fellow who gave me a new mission in life. To protect and help those in the village if they ever needed it” smiled the ram.

The teen just stared for a while and none of them spoke for a few seconds then the ram broke the silence.
“What’s your name youngster?” asked the ram.
“Jessica” replied the teen.
“And what’s the matter?” asked the ram.
“Parent’s” muttered Jessica.

And as if on cue Jessica’s head turned to the sound of her name being called out. The voices were instantly recognisable to her.
“That’s them!” she cried out alarmed.
“Do you really want to get away from them?” asked the ram.#
Jessica nodded as she got off of the fence.
“Then allow me to help you” the ram bleated as Jess felt a strange tingling feeling spreading throughout her body.

Jessica wondered what the hell was happening and whether or not this was a good idea to trust an animal.
Suddenly her train of thought was interrupted by a ripping noise as the seams on her tights began to give out as her legs started to thick fresh white wool.

Her long brunette hair parted as her ears grew longer and more pointed, the skin began to darken on her ears and the lower portion of her arms and legs.
The seams of her burgundy skirt began to weaken her new fleece began to thicken.
Jessica bleated as she watched her fingers fuse together and the nails turning black as they spread over her hands turning the fusing digits into black hard hooves.

One by one, her blouse buttons popped off as the thick wool proceed up her chest. Her breasts became hidden by the wool.
Jessica bleated loudly as she fell onto all fours. A large woolly tail grew out if her tailbone. Jessica’s schooled blouse began to rip as her sleeves began to ride up reveal small cuts and bruises covering her arms.

Jessica’s long brunette hair retracted into her head as her face slowly darkened as it pushed further and further out into a muzzle.

“How do you feel?” asked the ram as Jessica turned her head about to see the final changes settling in.
Her heels pulled up into the air, she was quick to shake her pumps off of her feet as they too became hooves.
“Strange” bleated Jessica.
“But?” questioned the ram.
“I feel fresh, reborn” replied Jessica

Suddenly her parent’s passed by the field; curiously they looked over into the field to see a sheep with a thick snow white woollen fleece but this sheep had little shreds of a pink blouse on its back.
"..Laura, I swear that one of the lamb was in a shirt just like our daughter...", questioned her father. But her mother was quick to dismiss that idea and the duo headed off ..

Soon it was late, Jessica had been settling in with her new body, adjusting to her new life when the farmer’s black and white collie ushered all the sheep down towards the barn. Jessica decided to follow them.

After several months, her parents gave up looking for Jessica but her father still couldn’t get his ideas out of his head. Meanwhile Jessica had became fully adjusted by the natural instincts of the herd she now lives with completely unaware of an old grey man watching over the field wondering why he had another sheep.

The End
