him.”
    “My touch excites a tree. Boy, that’s saying something.” She turned to look at Zin. “And you can do this, too?”
    Zin stood, brought his hands together and gazed up at the sun. The glow began to surround him, his bones stretching, breaking and reforming. In less than two minutes, Jeni gasped and stepped back. “It can’t be.” Her attorney, Jeff Landers, raised his brows and gave her a crooked grin.
    “You’re not dreaming. I shook his hand when we met on Earth. It only takes one touch for us to be able to morph into a figure.”
    “That’s just weird. You even sound like him. Do you have his memories?
    “No, it’s merely a physical transformation. We retain our own thoughts and memories. We’re completely sentient no matter what form we choose to take.
    Jeni wrinkled her nose. “Would you please get rid of him? It’s plain spooky to see him standing here.” The bright glow appeared suddenly, and Zin began to shrink. His legs and arms shortened, while his body thinned out. Long reddish brown hair started appearing on his arms while his face elongated into a snout. Small ears formed on top of his head. Very shortly she found herself looking at a golden retriever. “Holy buckets! What have I gotten myself into?”
    The animal padded over to her and rubbed his head against her knee. Hesitantly, she rubbed the top of his head, giggling when he dropped to the sand on his back. “I guess you’re wanting your belly scratched.” Leaning forward, she let her nails trail through his silky hair. “Okay, guys, this is just a little weird. Could you change back for me?” She shrieked when she suddenly found herself scratching Zin’s belly where his shirt had ridden up. A glance over her shoulder showed Kernz back to his human form.
    Kernz smiled. “We didn’t frighten you, did we?”
    She sat down on the rock and ran her fingers through her hair. “No, not really. Shocked me, yes. Scared me, no. I can see why you’d wanna keep this a secret. People would be afraid of you if they knew, and people that are afraid are always more dangerous.” She glanced up and smiled weakly. “Are there any other secrets you’re keeping from me?”
    Zin groaned softly. “Yes, and it’s big.”
    “Bigger than shifting into other things?”
    Kernz sat down beside her. “We’re not the only shifters in the universe, Jeni. There are other species that can shift. We have friends that shift into large cats, what you would call lions.”
    “Huh! Well, I guess Earth is really behind the times. What’s your other secret?”
    Zin looked at Kernz and winced when his brother nodded. He sighed. “We can take one other shape, but only for five minutes at a time.”
    “What other shape can you take?”
    “A gaseous one,” Kernz said.
    “Excuse me?”
    Zin stood and brushed the sand off his legs. “We can become a clear gas for up to five minutes at a time. Basically, we have no form and exist as mere energy. It’s a battle tactic that allows us to go places that no one else can.”
    She nodded. “Because you can’t be seen.”
    Zin nodded enthusiastically. “Right!”
    “Can I see?”

Chapter 5
     
    He laughed. “No, you won’t be able to see, but I’ll show you what I can.” Again, he stood apart, his hands clasped together. The glow started and then faded, along with his arms and legs. It was like someone was erasing him in front of her eyes. Parts of him would get fuzzy and disappear altogether. In less than a minute he was gone.
    “Where is he?” Jeni asked. Kernz smiled and shrugged. She let out an undignified squeak when something swirled around her feet. She looked down but could only see the dry sand. A few seconds later something whispered along her arms and across the back of her neck. When the feeling slid up her leg she backed up quickly and found herself in Kernz’s arms.
    His lips trailed up her neck. “We can make you feel so good, Jeni. We want to make love with you.”
    Jeni closed her
