It was yet another restless night for Nicole as she couldn't stop tossing and turning. Her nose twitched and she occasionally frowned in discomfort. Discomfort in her own skin. She wanted to escape, the urge for that was strong and grew stronger as the clock counted further into the night. It had stopped raining outside and a waxing moon was visible in the almost cloudless sky, accompanied by a few stars here and there. The blue feline softly whimpered in her sleep and this awakened her husband who was formerly sound asleep next to her. He rubbed his eyes before opening them and worriedly stared at his uneased wife, who looked as if she was in pain. He gently rubbed her shoulder with his paw and tried to wake her up. "H-hey? Sweetie? Please wake up, I think you're having another nightmare," he whispered as he carefully shook her shoulder a bit. She groaned as she opened her eyes and snapped out of her wave of thoughts that kept her restless. She wasn't fully asleep in fact, nor was she having a nightmare. But something else, unusual was going on. "Are you okay?" asked Richard as he brushed the long locks of fur on her head behind her ear. She nodded but her husband wasn't convinced. "Did you... have another nightmare?" he asked with his known tender voice. Nicole shook her head and struggled with finding words to speak. She sat upright in bed and rested her head on her paws, staring into the dark nothingness at the other side of the room. She then turned her head to face the pink bunny and cleared her throat. "I... It wasn't a nightmare. I just- couldn't sleep," she said with a tired voice. "Oh, I'm sorry, honey. What's got you so restless though?" he carefully asked as the two looked each other in the eye. "I don't know... I really don't know. I'm just scared..." she whispered. "Scared of what?" he asked. "I don't know either... It must be all in my head."

Nicole wanted to explain a bit more but the two suddenly got startled by a bright red flash in front of the bed. A portal-like formation opened up as it was surrounded by red flames, illuminating the whole room and drowning it in a scarlet glow. The blue feline held onto her husband for comfort as soon as she saw who stepped out of it. Black hooves at his feet, a reddish brown pelt, a goat-like figure, black, tall horns, black claws and terrifying red glowing eyes. Satan himself. The pink bunny felt himself getting really afraid, but his fear couldn't top what his wife was feeling. She froze as she tightly held onto Richard's arm, almost frozen in her pose, petrified. Her heart pounded and felt as if it wanted to escape via her throat, her eyes were widened with constricted pupils and she felt how she slowly got drenched in her own sweat. She knew what this was about. He came for her. He came to punish her. Eternal damnation was waiting for her. Satan pointed at her with his claw and snorted in rage, steam shooting from his nose. "You..." his voice echoed in the room, causing Nicole to cower even more than she already was. "You broke the oath, now thy shall pay..." he added as he stretched out both his paws and his claws sharpened, red flames emerging from his palms. Richard was frozen as well, really struggling with wrapping his head around what was going on and he looked at Nicole's face, trying to get an explanation out of her.

The red flames on Satan's palms started growing as they aggressively flickered. Nicole's pupils constricted even further when the flames started creeping her way, floating through thin air until they reached and surrounded her. Richard covered his mouth with his paws, unable to move and unable to process still. The scene felt too unreal and he thought he was having a nightmare himself. He briefly pinched himself in the arm and upon realizing this was real, his mouth gaped wide open. Nicole screamed in fright as she didn't know what was happening to her, as a burning sensation spread over her entire body. Once the burning began to be hurtful, she fell of the bed, only to catch herself with her paws on the carpet floor. Richard wanted to help her, as he got out of bed to approach her, but a loud yowl held him back. She began to tremble from nose to tail as her overall body became unstable and her appearance started to change. "Thy shall live as a Fallen One from now on, cat," Satan spoke, "once revealing this form, everyone will know you have broken the oath..." The pink bunny had collected himself in the meantime and now had his arms wrapped around the feline as he hushed her, since she started groaning in agony. Her fangs grew longer and two bottom teeth gained a sharper, triangular, tilted shaped which curled around her lips, along with her fangs that stuck out. Two pairs of dark red, slightly curled horns emerged on her head, two small and two large ones, and she screamed it out by this. The tufts of fur on her cheeks, lower arms, tail and lower body turned black as they roughened up and her overall figure began to grow until her horns reached the ceiling. At last, a pair of bat-like wings grew from her shoulder blades and completed her demonic look. "What have you done to my wife?!" Richard exclaimed in sheer terror upon gazing at the monstrous creature that replaced her. Satan didn't respond and instead angrily glared at the bunny with his pupilless, red eyes. "Lost for words?!" added Richard with an angrier tone. The demonic goat noticed how the bunny was holding his paws up in fists, as if he was squaring up to fight, and it got a dismissing scoff out of Satan. Not wanting to be bothered by Richard, he turned around and spread his black wings. "My work here is done," he said before flying up a few inches and disappearing in a cluster of red flames.

When Richard turned around again he saw his wife had disappeared. So quick, she ran up the stairs to the bathroom where she glared at herself in the mirror, seeing what monstrosity she had been turned into. She screamed it out once more as tears started running down her cheeks in heavy amounts. It was an ugly sight and her insides cried out for mercy as the pain was unbearable. She felt like passing out but forced herself to stay upright, no matter how hard that was becoming. The feline demon gnarled and eventually let herself fall to her knees, where she wrapped her wings around her ginormous figure, trying to hide away her new body. The pink bunny came running up the stairs in distress as soon as he heard her yelling and entered the bathroom, finding her in the corner on the floor. He carefully approached, feeling his instincts telling him to stay away, but not wanting to leave her to suffer alone at the same time. He proceeded and gently placed his paw on her large wing, hearing her whimper and sob as she felt utterly heartbroken. "It's gonna be okay, Nicole," Richard spoke with an attempt at a reassuring tone, tenderly stroking her shoulder. He only now noticed how muscular she had become and despite this clearly being a newfound curse she would have to deal with, it struck him with some feelings he couldn't understand. A feeling of attraction was starting to drive him crazy as he... seemed to fall in love with this look of her, the longer he stared at her and discovered new features... He wildly shook his head for a second, snapping himself out of his trance and focused on his wife's face which she now showed again from under her wing. "W-what have I t-turned into...?" she whispered with a trembling voice. "I don't know, sweetheart... But it won't change the fact you are still my sweetheart," the pink bunny responded, looking her lovingly in the eyes. Her eyes were as dark as a void, with the slitted red pupils brightening it up with a dim glow. "How can you love me like this...?" Nicole spoke as she dried her tears with her paw. "Because you're still you no matter what, and I love you for who you are," Richard said. "We'll conquer this together. There must be a way of a cure somehow," he added. Nicole nodded and took his paw which he stretched out to help her get up. Once she got onto her legs again, he gulped for a moment upon noticing again how big she had gotten. He felt intimidated but in an oddly... good way. He blinked quickly a few times and felt how his cheeks were heavily blushing. He felt so embarrassed for feeling this way while his wife was clearly sad about this. Or was she still?

Nicole let out a shy chuckle when she noticed the flush on her husband's face. "Are you... feeling alright, honey?" she asked as soon as her grief started to fade a bit. She sniffled and finished drying her tears, looking a tad brighter already. "I- I am," the bunny said, "I just... I don't know. My mind is sending me to all of these places I've never seen before and it's confusing to me."
"I know you're still heavily in love with me, lovely," Nicole said with a sultry voice as she bent forward to reach his eye-level, "it does make me feel a whole lot better to know that. That you're in love with... a monster." Richard didn't even say another word but leaned in and kissed her on the lips. Nicole automatically spread her wings in a reflex and accidentally knocked over some soap bottles on the side of the sink. Her eyes widened, then she closed them and embraced Richard's passionate initiation. She started blushing heavily as well and she let out a brief moan while holding his tiny, compared to her, shoulders with her ginormous paws.

Nicole didn't know how to feel. Her mind was a mix of desire and fear. Desire, love and lust for how Richard was treating her so well, but fear for her new curse which she knew nothing about yet. There was a lot coming her way and none of it was something she would've seen coming...
