Julian ran through the wilderness, feeling every bit as naked in spirit as body.
This body was made to run, but even so she was struggling as she was so new to this form as well as other sensations such as the wind, gravity, and... water. Honestly, grass had a lot of water, and mud that left those tracks behind for anything to follow her. She felt humiliated and scared... her ears twitched to every sound, as she could hear so much more now. she never thought she ever would feel something like this. When she first transformed into a wolf and felt such power and strength... she thought the worst that could happen would be over. She had become what she desired... and it was taken from her.
Her little stub of a tail twitched. She hated this unbelievably skittish feeling she now had. Selene made her.. a... coward. She was aware of the succulent meat she was now made of, just by scent, and the worthy prize to any animal that might come across her.
But she had to get back, she had to make sure her baby was safe- (wait what?)
Julian tried to growl, but all that came out was that horrible bleating of prey noise, just before it was going to get eaten. "Damn you... Damn you Damn you Damn you!" She whispered, too afraid to say it aloud just in case Selene did hear her. The Enemy had taught her so much about the universe, and the primal forces, Julian had essentially been given a crash course on God-hood. She was a force and now she was... nothing. Nothing Nothing Nothing!
Did she even get a chance for a defence? Selene played up her conduct against Lilly... but Lilly was not a little girl! She may look like one... but she was not! No more then she was a woman-
Well you are now... or do you really think this is some sort of... trick?
The bounce of her bare breasts made her wince as if just to remind her of how real this was, and how terrifying it could get. She was almost back to her house. She knocked on the door, lamenting for a moment the loss of her thumbs replaced by these.. dainty 'things'.
Her parents opened the door surprised to see the naked little doe a moment, but then it was like something... clicked, and there was a sudden recognition. "Julian? You... changed again?" asked he mother. "Oh please tell me you are not in trouble with the police again." When he had disappeared she had feared the absolute worse.
Julian looked with anger. "I'm going to my room." She rushed inside, to the surprise of her parents.
Julian was in her room, on her bed.. and fuming mad and angry, but at least she was back in what could be called a 'sanctuary', or den. She needed clothes, but nothing would fit. The moon, by coincidence, was directly in front of her window. She shut the window and drew the curtains. She tried to recall if that would stop that 'goddess' from seeing her, but...
"What am I going to do?" The doe asked sadly. She glanced down at her belly, thinking of the 'child' they claimed she had created... she didn't 'intend' to do that! She was just.. moulding something that was there, from .. from nothing... they were 'nothing' before she instructed them about humanity! It was just a merging of ideas not... not.. this! They- She was the only one who- who-
Julian cried her heart out at the loss and everything that had happened to her. They couldn't expect her to do this! She wont do this! She got out of dying... that was good. That kept her options open. She would just need to find a way to... to
You really would kill it?
"It's not alive!" Jeff said angrily. It was just a collection of cells. It was not a person... not right now. But why did she feel guilty for thinking such thoughts? Did Selene plant this feeling in her too? She.. she needed to think. She didn't want this! Life and death question- yes of course, one always picked life. Now that she was alive... would she die if she... 'tried' anything to harm this thing? What if nothing was there anyway? It could all be a trick! There is no reason to believe Selene was telling the truth! She needed to 'confirm' this first... then act...
it would be unwise to act while the moon was in the air. She best consider her options during the day, while Selene was hopefully at the other side of her dance. She silently prayed, her dreams would not give away her intentions...
Jeff looked at her attire, in the mirror just before leaving her mansion. She was dressed in her black clothes, and had done her hair with it's usual shiny gel. She really made it as tall and pointy as possible, to help fix the slight loss of a few inches of height. Her pants were baggy, not her usual jeans... which was probably going to cause some suspicion, but it was not something completely out of the ordinary. She could always claim she was doing some new style.
She went to school with little issue, still sensing and feeling the void between her legs and wondering if... if it was in any way perceivable. She wanted to cry but... then someone would know something was up, and there was no way she could allow that.
The rich teenage tomboy tried her best to just act like everything was normal. She arrived in school, with her hands in her pockets, as she easily blended in with everyone else. She saw Ricky by the steps to the entrance, as well as Belle. They waved her over... it didn't look like she had any choice so she went over to them, studying them for any hint that they might notice-
"Hi," Said Ricky. "I... I didn't think you would tell everyone it was you," Said the clockwork girl surprised. "Why did you do it?"
Jeff looked to her, then to Belle. "I..." She coughed as that sounded just a little too high pitched. "I just didn't want you getting the blame." She said looking at Ricky. "You know too much about me," Though fortunately not everything, she thought trying hard not to glance down at herself. The message said she should trust Ricky... but she didn't. She wouldn't.. ever tell anyone this.
Ricky looked a moment then nodded. So it was all just to avoid being blackmailed? The clockwork girl looked a little disappointed in that. She honestly thought Jeff had changed.
Belle gave a little smile. "Thank you Jeff... I know you did it cause you like- just wanted to help me."
"yeah well... just leave me alone... please." Jeff then walked off, praying that they didn't notice anything amiss.
Ricky and Belle looked at the retreating teen with bemusement.
"Something ain't right," Said Belle. She knew Jeff the most, and something About him was really odd. Whatever it was though, she couldn't place it.
"Why do you like him Belle? He tried to take control of you." Ricky was almost exasperated. She knew love was blind but God! Belle was so...
" I dunno," said Belle. He was always nice to me. It's cause a lot of people took advantage of him. He used to think he was cursed every time he let someone in his house. This one time they destroyed some valuable art work, and his father threw a fit." Belle remembered Jeff telling her that story...
"It's no excuse though!" Ricky said- but then, she realised she was winding down again. "Uh oh..."
"Um- I'll go get someone," said Belle recognising the signs.
Jeff stood in front of principal Erin... still acutely aware of the fact that she was... was... she couldn't even picture it. To make matters worse, her body was tingling even more... it was like ants moving inside her, as things were altered in an unperceived way under her clothes. She tried to match Erin's eyeless stare... it was said that some of the teachers here could actually tell certain things... not that Jeff believed it.
"I am quite... disappointed in you Jeff Aurelius," said Erin. "Can you promise me, this will not happen again?"
"I... I promise" she said just a little high pitched then she would have normally. "I'm sorry... I just... I just wanted to help her."
Erin sighed. "Well, I have reviewed the work. She'll only have to redo half a term's worth. I would also like you to join her with study groups with a number of the other students."
"W-What?!" Jeff tensed. What if- what if they...
"You can help Belle, and I think it will be good for some of the changed to help your own studies. You are not doing so well in mathematics for one, but you are quite good at english..."
"Is... is this mandatory?" Asked Jeff a little suspicious.
"Not at all... though it would go some way towards repairing the damage you have done to your friend's education. Do we have an agreement?"
Jeff sighed. "Yeah... okay... fine."
Jeff walked out of the office feeling quite tense- and then she realised... just what it was. She had to go to the bathroom... for the first time.. as.. as... a God damn it! This was horrible! Ricky didn't have to do this!
she closed her eyes. "Could this possible get any worse..." she then noticed a strange girl walking down the corridor, dressed in roman clothes. Their eyes met, and both seemed to stare at each other with confusion.
"Do... I know you?" Asked Jeff quietly.
"I don't know do you?" asked Brittany.
