Cherryâs day had been perfect. Her fiancĂ©, a wonderful man, had taken her out to dinner at a classy restaurant, giving Cherry the perfect excuse to dress in her sexy black skirt, matching black heels and garter, and a low cut top that showed off her cleavage. Sheâd had a wonderful time teasing her fiancĂ© and the male half of the restaurant.
Cherry smiled to herself. Tease? Yes, she teased, but she also enjoyed being ravished by her man as soon as they got back to his place. She could still feel him, touching her, holding her. If she had any complaint, it was that he was /too/ good: he wouldnât know an uncomplicated fuck if it came and bit him in the ass.
âDefinitely something Iâm going to need him to work onâŠâ Cherry thought before giggling. âHopefully heâll take his time learning.â
Her windows were down as she made her way home. Her fiancĂ©âs apartment had been closer to the restaurant, and Cherry had insisted she drive herself. She regretted the decision now: it was pitch black out in the forest roads. Their homes were only 6 miles apart, but 4 of those miles were through unlit back roads, poorly paved and away from civilization.
Suddenly, a light flashed in the distance, and the ground beneath the vehicle shuddered. The sound of falling wood split the air, followed by the horrible sound of concrete breaking just in front of Cherryâs car. She could see by the lights of her car chunks of concrete flying through the air, but it was too close to avoid. She hit the gap while trying to swerve aside, but ended up spilling her car off the road to careen into a ditch. âFuck!â Cherry screamed, more aggravated than scared. Her seatbelt had kept her from harm, and when she was angry she could ignore everything else.
âDamn it, damn it, damn it.â Cherry muttered as she hopped out of the car. âWhat was that?â She wondered to herself. The light had looked like something straight out of a war movie, a bomb falling from the sky. Looking back, she could see a line of felled shrubs and trees, all the way to the road. It look like a bulldozer had just pushed through the line of trees until it struck the road full force, tearing up huge chunks. The only problem was, there had been no bulldozer, and she didnât see any object at all.
Curious, and still a little angry, she followed the path of destruction back into the darkness of the woods, a flashlight from her glove compartment in her hand. To her surprise, after a minute or so of walking (And being grateful there were no shrubs or plants still up to snag her clothing), she emerged into a clearing suffused with an orange light.
Blinking to clear her vision, Cherry surveyed her surroundings. A near perfect oval of destruction sat before her, broken only by the path Cherry had walked through. To Cherry, it was obvious as to what happen. A satellite had fallen and crashed into the Earth, and itâs momentum and forced had extended even after the object had been destroyed.
She would have blamed a meteor, but there, in the center of the oval, sat a piece of forged metal, dome shaped. âBloody NASAâŠâ Cherry muttered angrily. âI ought to send them the bill for my car.â Still angry, she turned to head back to her car and her waiting cell phone.
Before she could take two steps, a slight hissing sound stopped her, followed by the sensation of something strong wrapping around her leg. She shrieked and kicked out with her trapped leg, trying to push away whatever had gotten hold of it.
Something else wrapped around her free leg, something snake like and incredibly powerful. Cherry screamed and writhed, but they had her firmly caught. More tendrils found her, some with tiny barbs that caught in Cherryâs clothes and tore it away. Her hands were trapped behind her head, and one tentacle was around her waist before she even began to understand what was happening to her.
A mass of pink tentacles emerged from the earth around where the metal piece lay. Cherry couldnât see the source of them: they seemed to come straight out of the ground. They held her, lifted her into the air, the smaller, barbed tentacles feeling her body until only her shoes remained intact.
