Outside, the creatures from the spacecraft were scurrying all over the neighborhood looking for targets.
Their overall appearance was comparable to a chelicerate arthropod -- a cross between an arachnid, scorpion and horseshoe crab, yet more simplistic in comparison. Their bodies were nothing more than a segmented spine, about a foot in length covered in a tough, leathery skin. Each possessed eight long, triple-jointed legs extending from both sides like a pair of skeletal hands 'fused' together, and a long, serrated tail, strong and flexible enough to propel it forward several feet. The arthropods lacked anything resembling a head, only two black, beady eyes that looked as lifeless as a doll's eyes. Underneath their bodies, was a mash of moist pink and brown flesh covering their internal organs with a mouth in the shape of a long slit, similar in appearance to a female vagina. At the base of their tails were two bladder-like sacks that resembled testicles, suggesting they were hermaphrodites with both male and female reproductive organs.
It wasn't long after Jess had fallen asleep, when one of these creatures found her open window. Its forelegs appeared first, wiggling grotesquely like long, spindly fingers as they grasped the ledge and pulled itself up. She was still lying on her side and facing away from the window with her legs drawn halfway up to her stomach. One arm was cradled underneath her pillow and the other draped over the top, exposing her breasts. For a moment it remained there and studied Jess lying naked and motionless on the bed. It dropped from the window and landed on the carpet with a soft 'thump', then slowly crawled across floor toward the foot of her bed, its finger-like legs moving independently like that of a spider. Jess stirred a little in her sleep and moved her free arm down a little over her breasts. The creature froze and waited patiently for another minute then crouched and, curling its tail underneath leaped up onto the bed.
After the second 'thump', Jess's eyes fluttered open. She rolled over on her back, still half asleep and propped herself up with her arms. She rubbed her eyes and glanced around the room, seeing nothing.
("You must be hearing things, Jess," she thought.)
But as her eyes slowly became accustomed to the darkness, they suddenly widened with a mix of horror and disbelief at the sight of the 'thing' perched at the foot of her bed.
Jess opened her mouth and tried to scream, but it leaped right toward her head with such alarming speed and accuracy it pushed her body back on the bed throwing her arms out to her sides. The creature wrapped it long, spindly legs around her head like fingers, covering her face completely and smothering any attempts for her to utter even a sound. Quickly, before Jess could even react, its tail raised and drove a small, needle-like stinger into her chest. Through the stinger, a cyanosed-based paralytic toxin entered her bloodstream which rapidly spread to her heart and brain, rendering her in a comatose state within a matter of seconds.
Jess was completely helpless, her naked body motionless with her arms still out to her sides and her legs wide apart. After subduing her, the arthropod's 'fingers' tightened their grip around her head like a vice, pushing her hair back and pressing the fleshy underside of its body close against her face while wrapping its tail around her neck. The 'vagina-shaped' mouth underneath opened, allowing a dripping appendage that resembled a human penis to slither out. Acting as a 'driver', the well-lubricated shaft became stiff and erect as it pushed its way past Jess's lips, then grew in length, forcing itself and a long proboscis, or feeding tube, into her captive mouth.
The arthropod then began thrusting it body hard against her face, each time pushing her head backward against the pillow. Her soft neck muscles sucked and swallowed involuntarily, struggling to accommodate the feeder as it plunged deeper and deeper down her throat, eliciting the most grotesque and unearthly 'slurping' sounds -- all as if mimicking a bizarre display of oral sex.
Once the full depth of oral penetration was complete, the two fleshy pouches at the base of the creature's tail began to inflate like balloons, then with each thrust of its body, contracted and forced a stream of green fluid through the feeding tube into her stomach.
The 'body huggers' or 'smugglers', as the alien arthropods would commonly be called were genetically engineered by the same beings that built the spacecraft with one purpose only -- to implant each human it encounters with pre-fertilized larvae that would provide a suitable environment for the embryos to incubate and grow. They were a prodigy in evolution, a zoological miracle, but with terrifying results. The feeding tube was actually an ovipositor. Their bodies were capable of producing the larval fluid within seconds between each thrust. Whether Jess's stomach would serve as a fertile environment for its seed to develop fully was of no consequence to this species. Dispersed by their creators with biological programming, each creature was merely a mindless parasite satisfying its primal need to procreate by finding a living host, subduing it, and using any orifice with a vessel suitable enough for impregnation to complete the task. The poison toxin and tail stinger served two purposes -- to subdue its prey and to defend itself against any other creature threatening it.
The body hugger remained implanted on Jess's face, its legs wrapped tightly around her pretty skull. The shaft at the end of the feeder moved inside her throat like a well-lubed piston, keeping the pathway open while the inflated sacks ejaculated more and more of the green embryonic fluid into her stomach. Jess was completely in a coma, her vital signs low, but active enough to serve her purpose as its host. Her head jerked lazily back with each thrust, her young breasts rose and fell with her chest, her nipples pebbled and alert, as if somehow aroused, while her arms and legs remained limp and useless. Occasionally, a soft moan passed her lips under the hugger's body, not out of any real conscious awareness, but more-likely from some vivid dream deep in her subconsciousness -- a horrible nightmare of being 'smothered' to death.
The full moon outside was beaming through the window like a spotlight on Jess and the parasite attached to her face, when suddenly another arthropod appeared in the window. Through its dark eyes, it observed how its brother had already found a host, but also noticed two more holes between her open legs. The second hugger coiled its tail like a spring and leaped from the window onto the foot of the bed.
It crawled between her legs and, with incredible strength for its size, forced them even further apart before latching itself to her inner thighs. Pulling the underside of its body against her genitalia, the slit opened and released another feeding tube. The 'cock' appendage on the end immediately became erect and began pushing between Jess's buttocks, but the puckered hole there was too small for its girth, so it chose her vagina next and found that entry more accommodating. Another muffled moan bubbled past Jess's lips, forcing some of the green slime to drool down her face, as the second hugger drove its feeder past her labia and deep into her birth canal.
The second hugger's testicles began to inflate and contract with each thrust between her open thighs, filling her womb with more embryonic fluid. Like a ragdoll, Jess's limp body rocked in rhythm with the two creatures as they pumped and impregnated her from both ends. Her once slim tummy slowly began to grow in size, her navel stretching outward with her skin until her stomach and abdomen were as large and tight as a basketball. Jess became feverish and sweated profusely all over while her own immune system made a desperate attempt to drive off the foreign elements being introduced into her body -- all but to no avail.
When its 'implementation phase' was complete, the first hugger finally slid off Jess's face, leaving green slime dripping from her open mouth. It immediately fell to the floor and, having served its purpose, slowly crawled underneath the bed to die. The second arthropod continued thrusting non-stop against her vagina for another 15 minutes, its legs grasping her inner thighs tightly, its feeder pumping more and more seed into her womb until her body could hold no more, then it too crawled away and died, leaving a trail of green slime in its wake. Eventually, the bodies of both creatures would shrivel up, their legs curling underneath like dead spiders, leaving nothing behind but two dried carcasses.
But for Jess, the nightmare was far from over. For the next several hours, she would remain in her coma-like state, her bloated, impregnated body lying motionless on the bed while the second 'gestation' phase began. The embryos would flourish and grow inside her stomach and uterus, draining her of all life-sustaining fluids. When the phase completes, dozens of snake-like larvae no more than two inches long would leave their temporary home and continue to feed off their host through the 'adult growth phase' until the arthropods have fully matured. And so, the cycle would continue, with the impregnation of each host creating dozens of aliens each, forming an army of hundreds in a matter of days, then thousands, and so on, as the human population decreases.
The invasion of Earth had begun.
