One word prompt: Scales

Went on to a word generator and the word of the day is: scales.
Tying it in a little with my dragon urban fantasy I got planned ;D
Ten minutes.
Go!


Alex clenched her fists against the pain as the the marks on her back spread onto the rest of her skin. The room filled with the smell of burning flesh and sweat dripped to the floor. Breaking the host body into the transformation was always the hardest part.
Her body trembled as the skin shriveled into dust, red scales growing to cover the exposed muscle and sinew. She could feel her body growing larger, her neck extending out. She shifted onto all fours, tail jutting out the back. Her fingernails grew long and curved until they dug into the wooden floors that creaked beneath her weight. The host's mind remained as silent as it was the first day Alex had taken over.
Stalking over to the mirror, she squatted down, carefully looking herself over. The face was the last to change. Even as she watched, the brown hair burned away and the round human pupils elongated to slits. Her scales reflected back the florescent light overhead, giving her a kind of glow.
Alex turned to the man with round eyes. "Is this what you wanted to see?"
