The sudden scream from Spirit made Helena jump.  It was cool seeing Mystery transform back into a human and sweet to see him protect and embrace his sister.  "I guess she thought you were him," Helena said in a hushed tone to Edmond.  Then, she heard Cecilia fly up the stairs.  The girl looked awfully confused, so Helena did her best to fill her in.  "Spirit got scared waking up with strangers so close and without her brother, that's all."  It was probably more complicated than that, apparently since she tended to sleep walk and have night terrors.

James's shouts made Helena peak her head out of the cabin, where a dark mass of clouds was forming.  "Oh my..." she murmured as the crocodile began to form.  She had to think quick, what animal could she turn into that could hurt a shadow?  It was hard to tell, but her adrenaline was too high.  Quickly, Helena began to morph.  She dropped to all fours, the hairs on her arms growing thicker until they became orange and black fur.  Her back legs transformed into powerful cat legs, whereas only one of her arms transformed.  The girl turned tiger lacked a tail and had one cat and one human ear.  Only some of her teeth transformed into fangs and her Brown hair stayed on top of her head.  Overall, the transformation was one of her better.  The tiger let out a half roar, half shout and unsheathed her claws, unsure how to defend her new friends.
