[Author Note: I hope this would be okay to post now, I have waited to make sure it fitted into the story. The name of the church is obviously made-up, but I thought it needed a name and that just came up, so forgive me on that note as well.]
Sunday, 8:35 PM
Wenshin Baptist Church
Nadine Ferguson and her family were attending church, which wasn't quite as enjoyable as they remembered, and it hasn't been ever since Nadine's transformation. Nadine's Hindu goddess appearance was stirring mixed feelings from her fellows Christians. Some felt that her very being was defying the lord that they worship, a few felt jealous of her newfound adult-like beauty and divinity condition, and the others didn't really mind her form too much (other than feeling a hint of intimidation, which they would simply ignored). Nadine and her family, much to their credit, did their best to enjoy the religious event.
The pastor was one of those in the last category, especially since he knew Nadine and her folks, way before her birth. He sadden to noticed that she wasn't the only one looking down on, because the other transformees are also getting shunned, the darker ones more so than the others. It was moment like this that often made him wonder if humanity really deserved to be saved, but he quickly dismissed that thought.
He didn't know why the sun has changed or why it was transforming those within its light, but he did know it was mostly random and didn't change the heart and spirit deep down inside. After all, his own sweet sixteen years old daughter, Belle, had been transformed into a demonic (yet somehow completely cute) imp. And yet her core being was still that of a lovable angel, and was faithfully enjoying the ceremony beside her mother, not bother at all by the stares.
Belle's transformation had been a bit odd, becoming child-like in size and mind, yet her original intelligent and figure was still intact. She was never extremely well-endowed as a teenage (maybe a little more than the average teenage girls), but still, seeing a child with a teenage stature was a sight to behold. That and having green-tinted tan skin and dark green wavy long hair, succubus-like black tail and wings, two-inch long black thin horns, long elegant ears, and an unique-looking hooves for feet. What was so unique about her hooves was that it didn't look like animal-like, even with two large thick toes and her whole 'feet' being as tough as diamonds, her hooves was still shaped like human feet.
Another thing to noted was that she didn't seems to have a problem with putting on clothes, considering what was scarcely known about devil-type transformation, and she still have her original sense of fashion (though she has to make some modification due to her new appendages). She was wearing the typical type of clothing to worn in church: a white conservative blouse, a white dress that does down near her feet, white socks, and blue mary-jane shoes. Her church outfit and her naive behavior seem to increase the cuteness of her new form more than normally displayed by a normal child.
Lastly, it was her very nature that seems to be confusing to many people, even her own father. He knew from stories that imps are posed to be very mischievous creatures, sometimes evil, but Belle never pulled a prank or tease anyone. She has always been extraordinarily polite, just like she was before her changes, and she never tried to upset or hurt anyone intentionally. He had heard that people who had been transformed had undergone some form of mental changes, but other than her child-like tendency, she was still the same daughter he remembered. He smiled at that; so proud to have such a lovely child, no matter what she became on the outside.
The duration inside the church went onward for some time, thankfully with less awkward stares as the focus recovered back on the service. As church slowly concluded and everyone was hanging around to talk. Nadine noticed that the talking was gradually growing back to anti-transformed conversation, especially about her. Strangely, they didn't have the heart to talk badly about Belle, even if her imp appearance was demonic. Instead, they decided to finger her mother to be blamed for Belle's transformation, even after knowing she was very saintly, although they kept it hidden so not to upset her husband.
The pastor decided to take the time to go over to Nadine and her folks, his wife and Belle was with him, and Belle was gently hugging her father's leg with the sweetest child-like smile on her face. Nadine couldn't help but to beamed back, mentally noting that it had a mother-like quality to it. No matter how hard she tried to act like her original self around people, it just seems to morph into a more motherly affinity. The only people that she doesn't react in such a manner would be her own parents, as well as Mr. and Mrs. White. She figured the latter was probably because they were like a part of her family, and while she does act a bit motherly to Belle, she doesn't regard her as one of her 'children' (metaphorically speaking) as well.
"Hello, Mr. and Mrs. Ferguson, how are you holding up in this era of revolution," the pastor asked, trying his best to sound as happy as he could, even though he was concern for their well-being. He didn't want to bring the subject up, since the matter was a bit sensitive, so he decided to not talk about it unless they did first.
"Oh...it is fine for the most part, Pastor White," Mrs. Ferguson replied in the same tone. The two families was staring at each other, not sure how to continue onward. They knew that a few eyes are on them for whatever reasons.
However, Belle innocently decided to break the awkward silence with her cute and joyous voice, "Hiiii~! And, how are you, Nadine? You look soooo pretty~!"
Nadine was taken by surprised at her sudden outburst and found herself blushing. "T-thank y-you, Belle! You look very pretty yourself!"
Belle grinned widely and turned toward her father, "Hey, Daddy, can Nadine come over one day to play?! P-pretty please~!"
Pastor White couldn't help but to laugh at the cuteness in her voice. "Hmmm," he gave some thought into her proposal and smiled, "I got an idea, how about the whole Ferguson comes over for a visit on Friday? We would be delighted to have some company; it had been a while since we had anyone visit us. How about it, would it be okay?"
Mr. and Mrs. Ferguson stared at each other for a moment, trying to mentally search if they might had made any planned, but nothing came up. So, they smiled and Mrs. Ferguson responded back, "Sure, I don't think that will be a problem. It would be nice to get away from the 'distraction'."
Nadine knew what she meant by 'distraction' and sighed. Thinking back, before the sun, she was no better than they was, looking down on other because she thought they was more sinful than she was. Now, she admitted that it was wrong to judge other like that, and wished that everyone would see it as well.
Well, she shouldn't let it ruin her Sunday evening, so she decided to join in to a growing conversation between the Ferguson and the White, who Belle was so nicely responsible for sparking it up.
