Transformations: The New Normal Ch. 2
Comments welcome!
———————————————————-
Caitlyn sat at her breakfast table and ate her cereal with a big spoon. She was too frightened to cook. Her mama always said she should start each day with a hot meal, but mama had never been in a situation like this.
She looked at her front door and wished Tanya had asked her to come stay at her place.
Tanya was tough and smart and brave - qualities Caitlyn knew she lacked.
You be nice to people, so they'll take care of you, Caitlyn,
her mama used to say.
"I tried, mama, but I don't think she wants to be bothered with me," Caitlyn said. She talked to mama a lot even though she wasn't there. It made her feel less alone.
Something clattered on the fire escape. It wasn't the first time she heard a noise out there.
"Go away, go away, go away," Caitlyn whispered.
The clattering stopped and she heard someone running in the alley below.
"Please wake up soon, Tanya. And please, please, please let me stay with you," Caitlyn whispered to the empty room.

"Holy fuck," Tanya said as she changed channels on the television. Last night there had been only one: the information channel for the Church.
Now there were dozens.
All porn.
And not the Hollywood DVD porn - this was filmed live right outside on the street.
Film crews were broadcasting sex acts taking place all over the Red Zone in broad daylight.
Sexual couplings in every possible combination filled the screen each time she switched channels. Here, three women in mini-skirts bent over a park bench while three men took them from behind. Another channel, two men standing with a buxom blonde sandwiched between them, the man in front fucking her pussy while the other man took her anally.
A barroom floor was a drunken orgy.
A dominatrix being drawn in a carriage down the street - a carriage pulled by four men wearing bondage gear complete with horse hooves on their feet and long horse tails dangling from their asses.
Inside a night club, women who looked more like high society women than strippers were dancing naked with worn out hookers. The camera shifted to a smiling redhead with piercing blue eyes. "Hi, I'm Amy Lynn - you might recognize me from porn movies like "Game of Moans" and "Porn of the Rings". I'm here as the special guest of the Church of Morpheus to report on this wonderful world you now find yourselves in..."
The woman's eyes seemed to be glowing and the glare was making Tanya's eyes hurt. She changed the channel quickly.
On the screen, one of the rubber nuns was standing behind a podium, her eyes covered by dark sunglasses. The words at the bottom of the screen identified her as Mother Superior Hecate. It was some sort of press conference.
"Mother Superior, are the streets safe?" A reporter asked offscreen.
"Not yet. Our agents are rounding up all of the infected but the sheer number of them and the large area of the Red Zone means it will take some time. Stay in your homes with your doors locked. Cooperate with the Church representatives when they arrive."
"What's going to happen to the infected?" A woman asked.
"We have treatment programs that are 100% effective. Their aggressiveness will be remedied - they'll be completely cured of their psychotic behaviors. Their libidos will remain at the elevated levels and the physical changes in them are permanent, unfortunately. But they will be
human
again."
She looked directly at the camera. "It is vital that you do not harm the infected. They can be cured. I know that all of you are frightened, but these people are your friends, your neighbors, perhaps even your family. They are
not
monsters and they will be returned to you whole."
"Mother Superior, earlier you told us that everyone under the age of eighteen has been successfully evacuated from the zone. What about the elderly or infirm?" A man asked.
"Excellent question. They will be well cared for - far better than your antiquated American health care system could ever do for them. We have the ability to cure conditions that your science claims are incurable. The elderly and infirm are going to live far longer and more fulfilling lives..."
"You say longer - how much longer are they likely to live under Church care?"
Hecate smiled. "Far longer and far happier."
Tanya shook her head. "Bitch, you should not smile. Your smile is creepy as shit."
Someone knocked on the door and it made Tanya jump.
Tanya grabbed the whip. "Whoever you are? Fuck off! I haven't had my coffee yet."
"It's me. Caitlyn."
Tanya ran to the door and looked out the peephole.
The girl was standing outside wearing pink sneakers, tight pink yoga pants and a pink athletic bra. She was wearing a pink backpack and pulling a pink suitcase.
Her hair was big and blonde, her nails and lips pink.
Caitlyn wore a furry pink cap that looked like the top of a teddy bear's head complete with round ears. She waved at the peep hole and smiled.
"What do you want?" Tanya asked.
"I... thought you might like some company? I brought all the food in my pantry. I thought we could have like a dinner party or something? Maybe a sleepover?"
"What the fuck?" Tanya whispered.
The girl looked over her shoulder. "It's really kind of creepy out here. Can I please come in?"
"Fuck no! Are you infected? Go back to your apartment!"
She shook her head. "I'm not infected. I haven't been out for two days. I waited till I heard your TV before I came over and knocked. I got really good ears." She looked up at her bear ears and laughed. "Get it?"
"Jesus, she's an imbecile," Tanya whispered to herself.
"Yep... heard that."
Tanya squeezed her eyes shut. "Caitlyn? Please go back to your apartment."
Her lower lip quivered. "Tanya? I'm really scared, okay? There are strange noises out in the street. And I think someone tried to climb my fire escape earlier and I don't want to be alone. I really, really don't want to be alone."
"What the fuck are you doing, Tanya?" Tanya whispered.
"Heard that too."
"Shut up."
"Okay."
Tanya took a deep breath. "Take a step back."
Caitlyn stepped back.
"Okay... pull down the front of your yoga pants."
Caitlyn shook her head. "I don't want to. Why are you asking...?"
"I want to see if you have a dick, okay? I don't want any Futanaris in here. Show me you don't have any junk, or you aren't coming in."
"I... haven't shaved in a few days."
"Jesus! Do I sound like I fucking care?"
Caitlyn reached down and pulled out the front of her yoga pants.
Her pink pussy showed through wispy golden curls.
"Satisfied?"
"I sure am," a voice said.
Caitlyn turned to her right and screamed. "No! Don't touch me!"
Tanya threw open the door and rushed out, putting herself between Caitlyn and the owner of the voice.
The Futanari from the day before stood naked in the hall. "Hello again," she said. She stroked her big cock and licked her lips.
"Fuck off!" Tanya said. She unfurled the whip and held it at the ready.
"Whips? Kinky. I love whips," she took a step toward them.
"One more step and I'll turn you back into a woman."
"Oh, sweetie, I'm all woman. Just with something extra. You'll be begging for it in a minute." The cock was growing stiffer as she stroked it.
"In a minute, you'll be bleeding." She nodded over her shoulder. "Caitlyn? Get inside."
"I'm not leaving you out here!"
"Goddamn it, do what I tell you!"
Caitlyn sniffled. "Okay. You're right behind me, right?"
"Sure. Right after I teach the Futa some manners."
The Futanari laughed. "Lexi. My name is Lexi."
"Don't fucking care. You're scaring my friend and you're pissing me off. Go find the nuns and get a shot or something."
"You're... amazing." Lexi said as she backed away. "I think I'm in love."
"Just keep walking, sister. I haven't had my coffee and I'm feeling really bitchy."
Lexi turned around and walked toward the stairs. "It's the new normal, you know?"
"What?"
"All this? The new normal. It's really not so bad."
"Just... fuck off!"
Lexi laughed and waved as she entered the stairwell.
Tanya backed into her apartment and locked the door.
She turned to see Caitlyn smiling at her still wearing the stupid teddy bear cap.
"What are you smiling about?"
"You said I was your friend."
Tanya stared at her. "Fuck, I need coffee."
"You say that word a lot. F-U-C-K."
"So?"
"I only say it when I'm doing it. I say it a lot then."
"I really need some fucking coffee."
Caitlyn giggled.

"I'm talking your ear off, aren't I? Mama always said I talked more than a traveling preacher, which made sense seeing as how she was almost certain my Daddy was a traveling preacher who came through Abilene. She said he could talk a blue streak and I talk a blue streak when I get nervous and I am. Nervous, I mean. Because you don't talk that much."
Tanya stared at Caitlyn from across the kitchen table. The girl hadn't stopped talking since Tanya had locked the door.
Tanya took a sip of coffee.
"Aren't you going to tell me anything about you?" Caitlyn asked.
"Daddy was a Marine. Mommy wasn't. Daddy's gone. I'm a corporate troubleshooter."
Caitlyn nodded. "What's that?"
"A corporate troubleshooter? I go into troubled companies and straighten them out. I tell them how to fix their corporate culture."
"Oh," Caitlyn said and nodded. "What does that mean?"
"I tell them who to fire."
"Oh. Do you talk to your mama a lot?"
"Too much. You?"
Caitlyn looked down at her coffee - it was actually cream and sugar with a splash of coffee. "No, my mama died."
Tanya stared at her. "I'm sorry."
"It's okay. It was years ago. You know she was runner up Miss Texas in 1998?"
