'You're going to be fine,' Sonja said to Kat, who was rolling onto her chest as the shadows crept in from behind her, growing translucent arms of green.
'What happened?' Kat asked, before she saw Sonja's eyes flick from the dark behind her, and her words of unsure assurance registered. Kat, always so level-headed and cool, rolled, and pulled the moonlight in around her as the tendrils attacked.
The moonlight, weaker here, in the shrouded daylight, curved around the space, as Kat
sliced
them across the tendrils, like liquid blades. In their weakness, the blades faltered and flickered out of existence, and Kat watched as the green slime she had sheared from the tendrils dropped to the grassy underbrush, before slithering away into the black that hid beneath thick canopy.
Only, it wasn't black - it was
thick
. The green sheen that shimmered in the shifting sunlight moved, and the shadows were revealed to not be shadows at all.
Sonja, for the first time since
that night
, got a good look at the slime that had taken her - transformed her. Made her into something... else.
She was still Sonja - she
knew
that. The mountain, the sun, they agreed and still powered her, still
recognised
her - but she could feel that she was changing more. With each... incident. Less and less of her was as before.
And now she had sacrificed her friend to it. For what purpose, too?
Pleasure
?
Maybe Sonja could fight off the urges, or maybe it was better to give in to them. But, to do to Kat what had happened to her... it was too much.
She needed to stop this.
Kat and Sonja, just for a
moment
, locked eyes. A moment passed between them - an agreement.
We're getting out of this
.
Then, hell broke loose.
The tendrils
exploded
out from the dark - naturally targeting Kat more than Sonja; Kat span, using her moonlight-blades to cut through the incoming threads of thick slime. Sonja ran forward, pulling in sunlight through the canopy, and lighting fires in her hands and under her feet. She lifted into the air, about thirty feet away from the creature, and threw fire into the dark - brief bursts of red and yellow light illuminating the hiding creature.
The great structure of green was imposing over them, huge trunks of green slime like legs beneath it, and uncountable arms connected to the trees all around. Kat and Sonja both recoiled, but there wasn't enough time to react.
Three arms flipped under Kat, slamming her in different spots on her back and legs, launching her upwards before gripping her and refusing to let go.
'Sonja!' Kat called out, screaming for help as an arm of slime slapped across her face, as two more that were around her wrists sank around her hand, pulling them behind her back. Sonja watched as tendrils closed in on her friend, sinking into her clothing, wrapping up around her leg.
Up.
Up.
Up.
'MHHFF!' Kat cried as the slime found it's target, writhing in it's impossible grip. Sonja knew what came next.
The pleasure.
The moans.
The submission.
And then the change. Katarina would be like her. Another person, a Witch-turned-monster.
'Hrn-' Kat moaned, and Sonja snapped out of her state. She lit the fire in her hands, expanding it to illuminate the space, despite the bright sun overhead, until she could see her friend.
Her friend, wrapped in a near cocoon of green slime, writhing and tensing and shifting as the monster had its way.
Sonja watched as Kat's legs were pulled up and apart, doubling her over as her knees were pulled either side of her chest. The Witch uniform, granted to them by the magic of the mountain, was being eaten away, and Sonja could see the look on Kat's face as the slime slipped inside her.
'Hn!' was the only sound she made, before her eyes rolled, and Sonja watched the pleasure start to seep in. Pure, unadulterated pleasure - the kind that switched her brain off and made her a willing participant in her own transformation.
'No,' Sonja whispered to herself, still hovering over the ground, fire burning in her hands. A fury seared within her, and her want to share this 'gift' with her Witch friends was overcome by her need to protect them.
To save them.
She was still a Witch.
She leant forwards, screaming past Kat, held aloft, and tackled herself into the belly of the slime. Her fire howled, scorching the creature as she ploughed through it. The inhuman screams and reeling movement began to cascade around her, as the slime - confused by her betrayal - began to thrash.
Panic, or anger, or something deeper began to sear through her, and Sonja found the last dregs of fire within her.
Light exploded from her - hot and white, bursting out and searing the creature around her. It took Sonja a moment to realise that the screaming she could hear was her own - that the heat and the burning and the
pain
was on her. The slime burning around her, it was
connected
to her.
She was the monster, or it was her.
Sonja looked over her shoulder, and saw the near-naked, shuddering form of Kat on the grass, dropped and forgotten. Tendrils whipped around, rearing up on Sonja like they had that night.
They dove in, and Sonja pushed upwards, the fire launching her upwards. She
smashed
through a barrier of thick slime, strong, but not stronger than the heat she was giving off. It was relentless, and golden as she burst through the canopy and into the sunlight.
The solar waves poured over her, and as she looked down into the hole in the trees, she saw the green and wet thing moving.
Further away, Sonja could see the movement of Katarina, bathed in white moonlight, adapted from the sunlight in the sky, flying back towards the mountain - to safety. A reasonable retreat.
Sonja relaxed, and dropped into the trees.
The slime, enraged but no longer attacking, hid in the shadows that remained, watching Sonja land. They considered her, and she could feel the observation - the
judgement
. And, in her chest, she could feel the guilt that she had done so well to ignore, burning hotter and brighter than anything she could ever muster. It would eat her up.
'What do I do?' she asked it.
There was no voice - no instruction of any kind. Simply, a thought arrived in her mind, wisdom that did not belong to her. It gave her solace, and it gave her advice.
Stay away from the Witches - the guilt of hurting them overrides the need to procreate. Instead, create willing volunteers.
A glob of green slid across the grass towards her, meeting with Sonja's foot as she stood in the dark of the forest, on the edge of the Dark Realms. It joined with her, and Sonja felt a slight warmth pass through her, the ache in her arm from knocking Kat out of the sky fading quickly.
Rejuvenated, and knowing there was nothing in this forest that could hurt her, Sonja began the long walk back to the school.
As she found herself at the edge of the woods, the town ahead, and the mountain high above, she attempted to pull herself into the mountain; to fade into the earth, between the buildings or under the cobbles. Instead, aside from an ache in her heart, nothing happened.
