myself.”
    “Very funny!  Be serious a minute, okay?  You know how lacking I am in all of this stuff with no coven of my own and no other shifters … did I tell you about watching Carlos Shift?”  Carlos was the only other werecat Missy had ever met.
    She had managed getting Manuel Rodriguez so terrorized he willingly had walked away from everything he owned and was now being kept in permanent custody by “P” Branch.  He had been known as the notorious “Frenchman” and been a major Colombian crime leader operating out of Bogota.  He also had been the one responsible for kidnapping Candace and selling her to Islamic terrorists.
    Missy had attended a large gathering at his hacienda near Bogota as the consort of Carlos Mancini.  Carlos, in addition to secretly being a werecat, was also a drug lord in Colombia and one of the many business associates who provided Rodriguez with product; his was all grown by his family high in the mountains.
    As part of her demonstration of evil power, during which she’d totally convinced Manuel she was some sort of a demon, she had demanded Carlos strip down naked;   then, she’d pointed at him and he’d suddenly Changed into a ferocious mountain lion.  She had threatened to change Manuel into a frog, amongst various other horrible things she’d do, unless he would agree to give himself up.  Carlos of course had shifted on his own when she’d done that and then had shifted back, again at her command.  He was now the one replacing Manuel, taking over his organization.
    Tracy said, “Sure, you told me all about his wonderful performance.  Of course, it was those lightning bolts which I sent down which really convinced Manuel what an evil demon you were, right?”  She giggled, enjoying the memory of that night.
    “Well, true as that probably might be … what I’m trying to explain is when I watched Carlos Shift for me?  It was different.  I mean, different from how I do it, okay?”
    “Oh?  How?  One instant you’re you and the next instant you’re a cat.  Isn’t that the way Carlos did it?”
    “Not exactly … the shimmer of light he gave off was similar to mine and the burst of energy was similar … but, it wasn’t in an instant.  It was just a little slower , if that makes sense.  I never had actually watched anyone Shift before, besides myself.”  Missy had actually seen a video of one of her own Shifts, years earlier.
    Tracy stared at Missy for several seconds; she could sense this was somehow a significant issue although she wasn’t seeing why, yet.  “It doesn’t surprise me you can do it faster.  You’re a witch and can draw energy from all around to add to what you always have within.  Carlos isn’t a witch and probably only has his own inner energy.  So, you’re faster.”
    “Yes, that is probably true.  But, I think I was always doing it in an instant, even back when I didn’t pull energy from outside.  I told you how I used to have to wait before Changing back again, right?”
    “Sure, at first it was three hours each time.  But, now that you’ve learned to tap into your inner witch, or whatever … now you hardly have to wait at all.  Missy, your ability to pull energy from all around you is much greater than what anyone else can do.”  Tracy had brought Missy to meet with her coven and they all were in agreement: Missy was off the charts.
    Some thought it was because Missy had lived for over two years in her cat form before finally managing to Shift back to her human form again.  Since Missy was an earth witch, whenever she was up in any mountains, her ability to draw power really magnified all her abilities.  And, now that those abilities were fully manifesting, her power levels remained at those same high levels pretty much all the time.
    Missy said, “Now that I’ve seen how Shifting can take several seconds rather than be all in an instant … I’ve given my own experiences a lot of thought.  And, I’m
