******************************
Sometimes, I remember how it all started. It mostly happens when I'm dreaming. It's been many years now. I could never go back, but it's sometimes difficult to remember I wasn't always here, in this different place. I was somewhere else - I was someone else - and so different from who I am today.
Still innocent.
It's hard to keep track of time without a proper calendar. That said, I know it's been at least twenty years since I arrived here; I know it from the passage of time on my body as much as from the patterns of this new existence. I may be older than I feel or look, but that's another aspect of this place which still escapes me and challenges my time-keeping skills. I have to count time as I used to even if it probably does not unfold at the same pace beyond the storm. My body and mind have both adapted to this world. That may be where the confusion stems from.
Certainly, my body doesn't betray my age. When I stare at myself in the mirror, I still recognize that young face which first laid eyes upon this realm. Pale blue eyes, golden locks; they're trimmed short to the shoulders now but they used to reach to the middle of my back. My lips are fuller and my nose is now always a bit crooked due to past experiences and injuries. It never healed properly. It's still me though, that same face... Meredith Gale, my mother would tell me, go clean your face before dinner.
When I can, when I have access to water, I always clean my face before dinner now. I can't help it. It's the little rituals remembered from the past that have kept me sane over these years of exile.
Today, I remember how it began, staring at my reflection in the full-length mirror, watching the few scars that linger on my naked body. I'm beautiful and I know it - everybody knows it. Maybe that's the problem. It's often been the solution too. Neither short nor tall, not too imposing, nothing to challenge anyone with. C-cup at best and still relatively firm, hips just wide enough, just like my ass - a perfect figure for most. I'm much toner than I was when I arrived, though I was still very athletic at... 19. In 1961. That was the year. I remember it today.
It started with a storm...
"For the love of god, Meredith, hurry up!"
Meredith Gale, daughter of Charles-Henri and Emily, raced from the house to the storm shelter, backpack in hand. All around them, the wind had picked up speed. The tornado was almost on top of their Kansas farm.
"Will you hurry up!" her father yelled.
"I'm here..."
She ran past the threshold of the cellar and her father pulled the door close. They lived in Kansas: tornadoes were a way of life, with a few scares every year. They had it down to a routine by now. Secure vital belongings, race to the shelter and wait it out. Outside, the winds were picking up. This tornado was fierce, and it would be very close.
"What if it's all destroyed?" Emily Gale lamented as she grabbed her daughter's arm.
"We'll rebuild," Charles-Henri calmly replied.
The couple, both in their forties, checked the inventory. They might be down there for a few hours. They allowed their 19-year old daughter to do her own thing; she sat down and opened a book.
"Aren't you a bit old for that one?" her mother asked.
"What?" the daughter replied. "Frank Baum is a great writer and I love this story."
For a moment, Meredith watched her mother wander about the storm cellar; she admired her graying hair from which the blonde was fading, as well as her buxom figure. Meredith was way too slim for her own tastes and she hoped to blossom like her mother had. The boys really enjoyed a bit more flesh, apparently.
Outside, the wind bellowed its fierce song as the tornado struck the vicinity.
"Goddamn!" Charles-Henry called out, looking up. "That's a shitstorm of proportions."
"Charles!" the mother replied. "Language!"
"Sorry... it's a... heckuva storm."
Meredith giggled; her father only swore when the ambiance got tense, or when leaving church. He gave his daughter a playful wink before sitting down and lighting a cigarette. His wife sat beside him, nervously staring at the ceiling door as the wind slapped it repeatedly.
"It's a sturdy door," he called out sensing her unease. "That tornado's not getting in!"
"Dad's good with his hands, mom! He built the house and it's still standing."
"It may not be standing after this," Emily blurted out, unable to contain her dread.
After a few minutes, there was a sudden lull in the sound coming from outside.
"Probably the eye," Charles-Henri stated.
No one had any notion of moving outside to check; habits formed from experience and caution told them how long they needed to wait before exiting the cellar. They would wait it out the appropriate amount of time.
"It's eerily quiet," Meredith surprised herself saying.
A loud crack suddenly resonated from the cellar door, as if something hard had struck it. All eyes turned to it. A moment later, a second crack shook the door apart. The family saw what appeared to be a metal length crash through the paneling. Everyone jumped from surprise. A loud angry voice echoed from outside.
"What the hell?" Charles-Henri cried out as he rose to his feet.
A third crack broke apart a segment of the cellar door, revealing the item that was striking it repeatedly: a large axe-head. The voice from outside repeated similar sounding words, though none of the family understood them. A boot kicked in the cellar door.
Emily and Meredith Gale screamed, even as the father stared at the broken entryway.
"What the hell?" he repeated.
The rest became a blur of movement as several creatures - monster-like people - rushed into the storm cellar. Meredith, in the far corner, watched in horror, petrified, as her father was run over by the descending beastmen. They were tall, covered in fur of varying colors from head to toe; they seemed to wear animal masks over their heads. One of them sported a large two-handed axe; the others bore no weapons other than their bulging muscles. Emily Gale screamed as one of the monstermen seized her and flung her effortlessly over his shoulder.
One raced to Meredith and did the same; when she began to resist, he slapped her hard and knocked her out for a moment.
The next thing she knew, she was being dragged outside of the storm cellar. She noticed her unconscious father also being carried on one of the beastmen's back; her mother was frantic, screaming madly but unable to break free. The creature holding her over his shoulders was much too strong for her to break his grip. His hand gripped her ass firmly.
All around them, the walls of the tornado, the eye, rose up to the reddening sky.
"Get closer!" a towering voice boomed.
As her captor turned to the side, Meredith was able to identity the source of the commanding presence. It was a woman, though the voice had hinted at a man. She was small in stature, no more than five feet, long raven-dark hair flowing on her back and dark beady eyes both contrasting with her pale skin. She wore an elegant feathery black dress with shoulder pads made of dark bones stretching a foot beyond her shoulders; her top was fully covered with no chest definition; her full legs were exposed and only a strip of cloth hanging from her belt concealed her privates. Dark and silvery leather slippers adorned her feet. Finally, she held some kind of bone staff in her hand; its tip glowed fiercely with reddish light.
Her eyes caught Meredith's glare.
"Not this time, you cunt," she spat at her.
"...what?" a very confused young Kansas girl replied.
She ordered her beastmen - clearly, they obeyed her - closer to her. From the tip of the bone staff, light began to illuminate the scene, filling the air with unnatural redness that tickled the senses.
A moment later, the sound of rushing wind tore into the air around them.
My eyes are lost on my reflection in the mirror when I hear a voice coming from the bed behind me. I turn around. She has awoken.
"Merry?"
She calls me that now. Most people do. I certainly don't mind. Maybe I no longer have a claim to my full identity. Meredith Gale - that was me before the storm.
"What's wrong?" she asks me.
"Nothing."
It's not a lie. She knows of my past; it's just a memory at this point. After so many years, I've moved on. Only the images linger and I am at peace with them.
Slowly, seductively, I walk towards the bed and examine my green-skinned friend - the only one I can come back to after all these years. Not that the others I made along the road are dead, but we've all moved on to different, hopefully better things. We made something of ourselves through the hardships and we live in that future we created for ourselves.
I wouldn't need to seduce her anymore - she is madly in love with me and as I am with her - but I still do, every single time, because I enjoy the chase, and because it fills my body with the much needed desire to keep going. When I feel myself fading, I think of myself seducing her again, like that first time, and it makes me want to return to her. She's my home now.
Her blue eyes look into mine; my eyes then wander to her forest-green figure and form, the roundness of her bald head, the strong cheek bones in her face, the sharpness of her chin; they move downwards to her muscled chest and its lovely, powerful breasts; I'm fascinated by her strong arms and legs, her tight core. I lock eyes with the green bush between her parted legs, hiding the sweet treasure of my repeated conquests.
"Did I wake you, Fiona?" I ask her.
"Yes, but that's ok. I was dreaming of you. When did you come in?"
