Elvira Peterson and the Witch's kids Episode one: The Magic Feather By Skytower Elvira slowed her moped to a stop and looked, her mind taking in the scene. It was just before sunset. A chilly fall wind worked its way through her jacket. Freshly dead leaves, blown by the wind hit against the wrought iron fence. They made a scratching sound then lay still as the wind died. The house beyond the fence was semi-Victorian in style, a cross between the House of the Seven Gables and the house they had used in the last Addams Family movie. It even had a widow's walk on the roof. (c) Skystower A little voice in her head told Elvira to turn around, a weekend spent in this place would be a weekend in hell. But if she turned around there would be no babysitting fee. No babysitting fee and there would be no hockey camp next summer. For a moment Elvira's ambition to play in the NHL combated with her common sense. Ambition won out and she edged her moped toward the gate. It opened with an ominous creak, stopping her short. "Great," she said softly, "another haunted house." Then she saw an electric eye to her left and relaxed. The front door had no bell, just two gargoyle head knockers. They stared at her as Elvira knocked. After a minute the door swung open, revealing a very tall crimson haired woman dressed in a clinging green gown. Elvira craned her neck, looking up and up. If this was Mrs. Carrion her mother had not been exaggerating. The woman looked to be almost seven feet tall, with a slim figure and bright green eyes. "I am Lilith Carrion, may I help you?" "Uh, yea, I'm Elvira. I'm here to babysit for the weekend." "Please come in." the woman said. Her thin, blood red lips turned down in what might have been a frown. The rest of the face was equally pleasant and frightening. Arched eyebrows, very thin, over an aquiline nose and all of it on the palest skin Elvira had ever seen. The woman gave the impression of a rose with the thorns highlighted rather than hidden. "Are you sure you are Elvira Peterson? You look nothing like the picture my son showed me." "Picture?" Going over to an end table Mrs. Carrion took an 8x10 glossy and handed it too her. Elvira looked and wondered suddenly if this wasn't some sort of joke. The woman in the picture was tall with a large bouffant for a hairdo, and a black dress that barely covered any of her. The dress especially left a wide view of her cleavage. Elvira herself was only five feet four inches, with soft brown hair and a sort-of slim figure. The only thing she shared with the woman in the picture was their names. "This is Elvira, Mistress of the Dark." she explained. "I'm Elvira Peterson. Same name, different person. Didn't my mother tell you?" "I believe she tried too." Mrs. Carrion said, a distressed look coming over her face. "But the hair dryer made our talk difficult." "Oh." Elvira said. Her mother worked in a beauty salon and distorted conversations were all too common. Once a high school senior had come to take her to the prom, even though she was only ten at the time. A dominatrix had shown up at her 12th birthday party. "Mother where is Elvira?" Elvira looked up to see a boy and a girl at the top of the stairs. Twins. The two of them looked a lot like their mother, red hair, the boys cut short and the girls going down to her waist. Their faces were almond shaped, with the most striking feature dark green eyes. She was wearing a green dress that mimicked her mother, he was wearing a pair of jeans and an Elvira T-shirt. Each had the pale skin that seemed to run in the family. "There has been a mistake Jeremy." Mrs. Carrion said. "The Elvira you have told me off is not the Elvira Mrs. Peterson recommended. This is Elvira Peterson, you shall have to make do with her." "Her!" Jeremy and his sister came down the stairs. "Look at her mother, she barely has any bust at all!" Instinctively Elvira looked down. She was wearing a gray long-sleeve Danskin top, and it did tend to make her breast look smaller. Beyond that she was wearing a grey and black skirt with a wide leather belt and grey boots. And I bet he doesn't like those either, she thought. "So what were you gonna do, stare at my chest all night?" "Yea." the girl said, giggling. "Helga." Mrs. Carrion said sharply, glancing at her watch. Now listen children, this may not have been what you wanted, but arrangements have been made. Now Elvira will watch you this weekend, and I want you to be civil. Is that understood?" Both children nodded, though Jeremy still gave Elvira a disagreeable look. "Here are the numbers where I can be reached." she handed Elvira a small book. "You will be staying in the guest room." She turned back to the children, gave each of them a quick kiss and was gone. For a moment the three of them looked at each other, then Elvira hoisted her backpack over her shoulder. "Where's the guestroom?" After putting her backpack in the guest room, a large room with a private bathroom, Elvira called her mother and told her she was safe. By that time Jeremy and Helga had vanished. Mrs. Carrion had made a list of things the children had to do, with times they had to do them. At six pm the list said dinner. Finding the kitchen, Elvira pulled some canned Ravioli out of the cabinet and nuked it in the microwave. Then she set out in search of Helga and Jeremy. The corridors of Carrion Mansion were tall, lit by hanging lamps that were either gas or badly wired electric. The lamps flickered, not so much lighting the hallways and passages as defining the shadows. Dark wood paneling helped, as did the Victorian red velvet wallpaper. As she walked Elvira had the feeling she should be carrying a candle and wearing a gauzy nightgown. "Jeremy! Helga!" she called out, trying to shake the feeling. For a moment there was no response, then part of the wall opened beside her. Elvira's heart jumped for a moment before Helga stepped out. She had changed from the green dress into a NASA style jumpsuit. Her name was stenciled onto the right breast. "Jeremy's in the lab." "Thanks." Elvira said, looking at the wall. It had sealed itself and there was no trace of a seam or crack. "Guess there's a lot of secret passages in this place." "Lots, and some of them are really dangerous." "They are huh?" Elvira asked, recognizing the tone in Helga's voice. Time to scare the baby-sitter, she thought. "Yea, especially the one that leads to the dungeon." "Let me guess, that's where your last baby-sitter is." "Nope, Jeremy turned him into a statue." "A statue." "Yep, we stuck him in the attic." "So what's in the dungeon?" "The baby-sitter before the baby-sitter who's in the attic. Ever since Jeremy cast a spell over her she likes it down there." "So your brothers a warlock or something?" "Yea, and he's a good one so you better be nice to him." "Hey, he's nice to me, I'm nice to him." If he isn't nice to me he's toast, Elvira added silently. "Would you like to see him?" "Uh, yea. Dinners ready." "Very well, come with me." she started to walk and Elvira followed. "How come we aren't taking the secret passage?" "Your too big for that one. We'll take this one." They had stopped beside an old suit of armor. Elvira looked around, but saw no sign of a door. "They really hide these things don't they." she mused, running her hand along the wall. "You just have to know where to look." Helga said, taking hold of the armored suits sword she twisted it. Instead of the wall opening Elvira felt the floor vanish beneath them. With a loud scream she and Helga vanished into the darkness. They landed on a large foam mattress. Helga bounced off casually, leaving her baby-sitter gasping for air. "You could have told me." Elvira muttered hoarsely. She looked around, impressed at the lab. It was a large room, filled with test tubes, beakers, and other equipment she couldn't hope to identify. The walls were lined with shelves filled with small bottles. Either the kid really was some sort of mad scientist, or Jeremy and Helga had gone through a lot of trouble to fool her. Jeremy, still dressed in jeans and a t-shirt, bent over a table halfway across the room. Getting up Elvira walked over to him. "What do you do down here?" "Things beyond your limited comprehension." the boy said, attaching some wires to a Barbie doll that lay on the table. "Playing with dolls? Yea, I'd never understand that." "He's not playing." Helga said, handing her brother a small probe. "He's going to bring Lucrectia to life." "Oh, ok. Well he can do that after we eat." "Eat? I'm conducting a serious experiment and you want me to eat?" "Yea," Elvira took a step closer to him, using her greater height to force him back a step, "I want you to eat. You got a problem with that?" "Someday I'll be bigger than you, then you won't be so tough." "Look me up in a few years then, for now lets eat." "We might as well brother." Helga said, looking up from one of the dials. "It'll be tomorrow before the power levels are high enough." "Irrelevant, I'm..." "Getting ready for dinner." Elvira interrupted him, stepping between him and the doll. "I suggest you be nicer to me," Jeremy looked her over, pausing at her chest, "I am no one to be trifled with." "You keep staring at my breast you'll be no one at all." Elvira snapped. "Like it or not kid I'm in charge here." "Very well." Jeremy said, though his tone made it clear the discussion was not over. He put a cloth over the doll. "I hope you've made something suitable." "Ravioli?" Jeremy's tone of voice suggested that his baby-sitter was trying to poison him. "How dare you feed me that!" "You don't like it." Elvira said, leaning back in her chair. This kid was pushing the envelope. "Of course I don't." he pushed the plate away from the table and stood up. "Didn't mother give you any instructions at all?" "Yea, dinner at 6, bed at 830, breakfast at six. No parties, no..." "Bed at 830?" Helga looked up from her now empty plate. "But we'll miss the X-files." "Sorry kid, that's what's on the schedule. Don't worry I'll tape it." "I will not submit to this." Jeremy announced sitting down. "It is bad enough that mother put you in charge, but these rules..." "Are the rules." Elvira interrupted, getting up and walking over to him. Again she towered over the boy scientist. "And if you don't follow them I'll make sure you go to bed long before 830! Got it?" "No." he snarled, standing up on his chair. He looked down at her, his green eyes dark with anger. "I turned the last baby-sitter to stone, what am I going to do with you? A frog? A snail? Perhaps," the boy looked down at her, "a spider." "Oh yea, you really know magic." Elvira climbed on the table and looked down at him. "Don't make me laugh!" A light came into Jeremy's eye, a light that both startled and froze Elvira. Suddenly she couldn't move. "Laughter it is then." Jeremy shouted. He jumped from the chair, caught hold of the chandelier and climbed from it into a trap door in the ceiling. As soon as he was gone Elvira found she could move again. "Your gonna get it now." Helga said, her mouth full of food. "Yea right. What's he gonna do?" Helga made no reply, but her giggling sent a shiver down Elvira's back. It was nearly an hour before Jeremy reappeared at the door. Elvira kept Helga at the table, fearing the girl would slip away as well. She had no desire to start looking for Jeremy. With all the passages in the old house it could take days. Elvira still wasn't sure why she hadn't grabbed the punk. Could he really know magic? Or had it been some sort of hypnosis? But kids had hypnotized her before and it hadn't felt like that. "Your still here." Jeremy said, walking into the room. He was holding a mason jar with a white feather in it. "I applaud your courage if not your intelligence." "Thank you Lex Luthor. Start eating kid, or I'll put you to bed right now." "I don't think so." he smiled. "Penna Titilare Elvira!" With that he opened the jar and the feather flew out as if it was wired. Elvira jumped out of her chair as it came toward her, only to have it swoop in like some hungry mosquito. It hit her stomach and started to tickle. "Hey!" Elvira yelled, reaching for the feather. It slipped out of her hand like quicksilver and moved under her arms. "Stop it!" she yelled, starting to laugh. The feather didn't stop, it just kept moving. Elvira grabbed at it, but kept missing. And laughing. She tried to run away, but the feather dived under her skirt and tickled her legs. She tripped and fell. Rolling on the floor laughing she lifted her skirt trying to get at it. The feather evaded her and sneaked under her belt. Franticly she unhooked the belt, but the feather simply dove into her top. Laughing hysterically she pulled her top off. It was no use though. The feather just kept moving and tickling. Suddenly it was over, and the feather hovered above her stomach. Elvira became aware of Helga's laughter, high- pitched girlish giggling, and Jeremy's Vincent Price like chuckles. She climbed to her feet and the feather followed her. It kept its position not a foot away from her belly button. She clutched her skirt to keep it up with one hand and tried to cover her breast with the other. The top had needed no bra, and her bare breast rose up and down. Elvira had always felt a little self conscious about her breast. They were a little small, and the areolas were extra large, with the tips of the nipples exaggerated knobs. "I believe your power over us is no more." Jeremy said, walking over to the table and sitting down. "Now here is the way it is going to work; I will give commands, you will carry them out." "Forget it!" Elvira snapped. Instantly the feather was on her again. Above her laughter she could here Helga urging it on. "When you call me 'Master', the tickling will stop." Jeremy announced. Elvira tried to run but the feather tickled her and she lost the grip on her skirt. It fell and tangled around her legs, tripping her. She kicked it off and scrambled to her feet. All the time the feather was relentless, ready for any opening and moving at lightning speed. Elvira ran toward the door. It shut in her face. She made a run at Jeremy but the feather caught and tickled her until she tripped, landing at his feet. Rolling under the table Elvira grabbed the tablecloth and pulled, trying to cover her self and block the feather. She got a few seconds of relief before the feather squirmed under the sheet. Again she tried to run, only to be tripped by Helga. With a yell of glee the girl grabbed Elvira's legs and twisted them, forcing her on her stomach. Then she sat on the back of Elvira's knees. Elvira started to rise, but the feather attacked her sides again, while Helga started to tickle her feet. In vain she squirmed and twisted, all the while laughing hysterically. Finally she was too weak from laughing to even try and push the feather away. "Stop!" she moaned. "Please!" "Stop what?" Helga demanded. "Master." Elvira moaned. The feather and the girl stopped and she caught her breath. "Very good." Jeremy said sagely. Helga jumped up and danced around laughing. "Now you shall go into the kitchen and prepare me a proper meal. You will find a list of my choosing on the refrigerator. Stop." Jeremy commanded as Elvira reached for her cloths. "In punishment for your defiance you will not wear anything but what you have on now." The battle had left her with only her boots and a pair of brown underwear. "Pervert." Elvira whispered. Again the feather attacked and it kept on attacking until she cried out an apology. Then it followed her into the kitchen. "You've been watching the old Flash Gordon serials again haven't you?" Elvira heard Helga ask. "I can hear Ming The Merciless in your voice." "He had style." Jeremy said. Once in the kitchen Elvira tried to come to terms with what was going on. A magic feather had attacked her. Impossible, she told herself. Then what happened, herself asked. She looked at the feather, hovering a few feet away. "I was attacked by a magic feather." Elvira admitted. And Helga, she added silently. As a baby-sitter Elvira had learned to handle a lot of strange situations. She had after all babysat for some of the freakiest families around. In her time Elvira had been tied up, hypnotized and she'd been tickled before, though rarely. Elvira had a love/hate relationship with tickling, she loved to have it done in the right time and place, and she loved doing it, in the right time and place. But outside of that time and place it was her one weak spot. Bud and Kelly had found it the last time she had babysat them, and it had been sheer torture. But nothing, not even Bud and Kelly had prepared her for this. Locks she could pick, ropes she could squirm out of, but how could she fight magic? Jeremy's preferred food was a French dish that Elvira couldn't even pronounce, but at least the instructions were clear. Suddenly she tried slicing the feather with a knife, but she missed and once more was tickled. Falling to the floor Elvira laughed hysterically until Jeremy's voice came from nowhere. "Do not try that again." The feather retreated and Elvira went back to making the meal. Not only could she hear Helga's laughter, but Elvira could have sworn the feather was laughing at her as well. The meal set, Elvira wheeled it into the dining room and placed the plate in front of Jeremy. He was sipping a glass of wine. "Can I get dressed now?" "No." Jeremy said. "Your not much to look at but you are a nice diversion. Just stand there and be silent." A flash bulb startled her. As the stars cleared Elvira looked up to see Helga watching the Polaroid fade into existence. Great, she thought, another kid with a picture of me topless. It had happened before, but usually with kids older than this. They were usually murder to get back, and that was from normal kids. "Wine." Jeremy ordered. Sighing Elvira picked up the bottle and filled the glass. She started to hand it to him and then stopped. "What are you waiting for?" Jeremy demanded. "Nothing." Elvira said, pouring the contents of the glass over the feather. It wilted instantly and fell to the floor. "No!" Jeremy screamed. "Run Helga!" He pulled the handle of his chair and both chair and boy vanished into the floor. Helga made a run for the door, but Elvira launched herself over the table and tackled the girl. They wrestled and Elvira came out on top. Pinning the girl onto her stomach the baby-sitter pulled off Helga's sneakers. "So you like to laugh huh?" The babysitter growled. [It's not over yet, soon Elvira will learn it's not a good idea to get a junior warlock/mad scientist mad, and even less of a good idea to tickle his sister.] **************** Elvira Peterson and the Witch's kids Episode two: Aunt Petunia by Skytower Having been enslaved by her young charges by a magic feather, which tickled her into submission, Elvira is now free. But she is about to find out that getting out of the Carrion Mansion is harder than she thinks. (c)1998 by Skytower Elvira had Helga pinned on her stomach. With one hand she was tickling the girls feet, with the other she was struggling into her own cloths. "Stop!" Helga commanded. "When you tell me where your brother got to." Elvira replied. Holding Helga with one hand Elvira reached over and picked up her brown Danskin top. She put in on and then pulled up her skirt. Her wide black belt completed the outfit. Reaching over she picked up the Polaroid Helga had shot of her. It, along with the camera had landed on the floor during their struggle. The picture showed a slightly startled, topless young woman. Her shoulder length brown hair a bit disheveled. The hair framed a rather square face, with arched eyebrows over brown eyes. Her breast were a little on the small side (or at least that's what the occasional boy said). The areolas were a little too big, too red and the nipples exaggerated knobs. Thankfully the photo was only a head and breast shot, Elvira hated to be reminded her hips were too wide. Helga had taken the photo after her brother Jeremy had tickled their baby-sitter into submission with a magic feather. The feather now lay on the floor, soaked in wine and Elvira was steaming mad. "Where'd he go?" she demanded, tickling Helga some more. "I don't know, but he'll be back." she gasped out between laughs. "And here he is!" the shout took Elvira off guard as the tablecloth was thrown over her head. She pulled it off, but Helga had time to squirm away from her. Jumping up Elvira faced the twins. They both looked at her defiantly. Two red haired, green eyed monsters. Each of them had green eyes, red hair and oval shaped faces. Both of them were too young to give her any trouble. At least that's what she had thought a few hours ago. Jeremy was holding a super squirt gun and it was pointed at her. "What's in there?" Elvira demanded, getting ready to jump. "A complex compound that I like to call," he fired, just missing her, "Contrahere Aqua." If I ever get out of this house I'm going to learn Latin, Elvira swore, dodging behind the table. For the next few minutes he fired at her, always missing. Elvira had no idea what the liquid would do, but she was taking no chances. Not after the feather. He paused for a moment to pump the gun up and she attacked. The twins scattered, and Elvira grappled with Jeremy. She was winning, forcing the gun on him when Helga jumped her from behind. Grabbing her arms the determined girl pulled Elvira off balance and they both fell to the floor. Helga was quicker this time though, she scrambled away before her Baby-sitter could grab her. Left vulnerable Elvira had no time to dodge the shot from Jeremy's squirt gun. The liquid felt like cold water as it hit her chest, soaking through her top. Suddenly Elvira was seeing the world as if it were lit by a strobe light. Her sight fading in and out she was conscious of a light, almost orgasmic feeling in her body. Her cloths got looser, and then fell from her. She ended up in a heap on the floor, struggling to climb out of the tent she had somehow ended up in. A giant hand reached down and picked her up. Elvira looked into the face of a child, but it was a child large enough to bite her head off. Jeremy smiled. "You think any of your Lucretia dolls cloths will fit her?" he asked. Suddenly Elvira realized she was completely naked and despite he danger she was in the young girl blushed. "Put me down you little creep!" she screamed, her voice suddenly high pitched. "Very well." Jeremy said calmly opening his hand and letting her fall. Elvira suddenly realized how far up she was. Thankfully she only fell a few heart wrenching feet before Jeremy grabbed her again. With dizzying speed she was brought over to the table and dropped into the sugar bowl. Elvira lay there for a moment, the sugar sticking like sand to her body. "Maybe this will make you a little sweeter." Helga said. I'm going to get big again and kill her, Elvira thought, just for that joke. "Well, now that our height is reversed do you still feel so superior?" "I'll get you for this you little..." leaving the rest unsaid Elvira climbed out of the sugar bowl and started dusting herself off. "Let me." Helga said running out of sight for a moment. When she returned she pushed Elvira over with one finger. Holding the diminutive baby-sitter under her thumb she produced a feather duster. Sounds of laughter soon filled the hall as Helga and Jeremy took turns tickling Elvira. She writhed and squirmed, but she was helpless. All it took from either of them was one finger on her stomach or back and she was trapped. When she was all dusted off Helga picked Elvira up and dropped her in the bowl again. "Keep her going." Jeremy said, getting up and heading toward the kitchen. "I'll get the ice-cream and the cool whip." "Don't forget the banana's." Helga called after him. Ice-cream and cool whip? Bananas? Elvira had no idea what the boy scientist was planning with the first two, but banana's definitely scared her. It was time to leave. "Come on, climb out." Helga said, prodding Elvira with a finger. "No way." Elvira said, sitting down cross-legged in the sugar. "What's he gonna do with the ice-cream?" "Something we saw in a Bugs Bunny cartoon." Helga said. Reaching into the bowl she grabbed Elvira around the chest and lifted her out. "Not so hard!" Startled by the screech Helga let go and Elvira fell onto the table. Before the girl could react the baby-sitter was up and running, sliding down the tablecloth onto the floor. "Come back here!" Helga demanded. Elvira ignored the order, though a part of her wondered why Helga even gave it. Who in her position would follow it? She ducked a swipe of the child's hand and ran over to the Polaroid. "Gotcha!" Helga announced. She was on all fours arm outstretched. "Not tonight you witch!" Elvira said, triggering the shutter on the camera. The flash lit up Helga's face and she tried to stand up, hitting her head on the bottom of the table. Elvira hit the shutter a few more times hoping the flash would disorient her even more. Then she ran. Out of the corner of her eye Elvira spotted a whole in the wall. The baby-sitter didn't know what was beyond the whole but she knew what was behind her. She was halfway across when Jeremy came back into the room. He wasted no time with words, but his arm was just a little too short. Feeling like Jerry Mouse Elvira vanished into the wall and into darkness. Elvira slowed and stopped, looking back over her shoulder. She was out of breath from the run, her chest heaving up and down. Thankfully she was used to running in bare feet. One giant hand had squirmed through the whole and clutched futilely just a foot away from her. It was an agreeable safety margin for the girl. Relieved she looked around, her eyes adjusting to the dim light. Christmas tree lights lighted the passage. Blue, green and amber alternated down the tunnel. At her height the rough wood timbers that made up the walls looked raw and menacing. Insanely the plaster squeezing through the slats reminded her of marshmallow fluff oozing out of a sandwich. Spear size nails, rusty and sharp were spaced unevenly in the walls. "Now what?" she whispered. "Elvira come back." the volume of Jeremy's voice startled her and she flattened herself against the wall. A sharp pain in her but forced her out again and she pulled a large splinter out. Is there a size you can't get splinters? Elvira wondered. "Don't make me come in there." Jeremy called. "Oh yea, that's something I'm worried about." Elvira whispered. Aloud she said; "Come right in!" knowing that he'd have to shrink to follow her. "You won't like it in there." "Like I'll have a lot of fun out there with you two? Forget it Supergeek. I'll just look around until Monday." "You better come back or Aunt Petunia will get you." Helga shouted. Elvira didn't reply she just started walking. From the lights strung down the tunnel she could tell the kids had been there before. Jeremy and Helga probably shrunk themselves down every now and then just for the fun of it. She doubted that anything that could harm them would have been tolerated. Besides she wanted to be out of range when Jeremy or Helga thought of using a broom handle. Or worse a wad of chewing gum stuck on a broom handle. Or worse... Stop it, Elvira scolded herself, you've got enough problems. A while later Elvira stopped to rest by an electrical outlet and stared at it for a few moments. The galvanized aluminum was beautiful. Layer after layer of crystal patterns that almost seemed to be moving. Elvira shook her head to clear it. It seemed like hours since she'd been shrunk and the young girl had never been so scared for so long. Elvira had been through a lot of rough times with the children she baby-sat, but she'd never encountered anything like this. At her current size either Jeremy or Helga could hurt her without even trying. The invisible advantage of age was gone. Elvira shuddered as she realized what that meant. The lights had led her down more and more corridors taking more and more turns. By now she was completely lost. Elvira was used to walking in bare feet, but not walking around naked for hours. She had quickly discovered the difference. There was a feeling of security in cloths, false perhaps, but still a sense of security. She shuddered again. "Enough." Elvira said firmly. Taking a deep breath she slowly shrank her fear, bringing it down to a manageable level. "I've been in trouble before, I'll be in trouble again. Elvira Peterson Doesn't Loose!" Elvira looked up and down the corridor. It was what she said before each hockey game, it was what she said before every fight. For the first time it wasn't helping. She had no doubt Jeremy was still looking for her somehow, and she was not going to be caught. Normal little boys were bad enough, small mad scientist were the worst. With a shudder she remembered little Malcolm Frink. Peeking carefully through the electrical box she saw a large room with hundreds of plants. Dangerous looking plants. Elvira's stomach jumped as she saw a Venus flytrap devour some unlucky insect. If she made one mistake that could very easily be her. As if to confirm her fears there was a sudden scraping sound behind her. Elvira nearly broke her neck whirling her head around to see what it was. She was astonished to see a small tank, one of the GI-Joe set if she remembered right. It was equipped not with a gun, but a giant grabbing arm. The arm opened and closed like a set of hungry jaws. With a mouse like squeak the baby- sitter took off down the tunnel. The machine followed. Elvira stopped following the lights, hoping that the tank couldn't follow her. She was wrong and it started to speed up, snapping on floodlights. A dim corridor shooting off to her left caught her attention. The opening was barely large enough for her, for the tank it would be impossible. She dove in and took three steps before falling. Warm air rose up to meet her and the Baby-sitter hoped she wasn't falling into the furnace. In the next moment the fall stopped and Elvira felt rope beneath her. Without thinking she grabbed tight, but the rope didn't need to be grabbed. It stuck fast to her skin. Desperately the girl pulled and tugged. But it was like being tied up with bungee cords. The rope would stretch to her limit, then slowly pull her arms back above her. But it wasn't rope. It was webbing. She was small, naked and helpless in a spider's web. A light suddenly flooded the chamber. Elvira blinked, trying to see something besides spots. "My, you aren't what I expected at all." The voice was cultured, with a lilting tone complementing a British accent. Looking to the center of the web Elvira saw its owner. "What the hell are you?" she blurted out. The creature crawling toward her did look human, sort of. She was taller than Elvira (at least at her present height) and definitely one of the Carrion family. Her red hair was cut short, and it framed a delicate face with deep green eyes. But her body also had six arms. Four sprang from her chest, a chest that was longer than a human chest. Two large breasts were between the sets of arms. Large globes that trembled as the creature walked along the web to her. The other two arms grew from her hips and were slightly shorter. Elvira saw a red wire mesh between the creature's legs. "I must say for someone who is a guest in my web," she paused, running her hand across Elvira's stomach, "and completely helpless, you are not very polite." "I'm sorry but I've had a rough day." Elvira said, struggling to keep her voice calm. The creature's hands had moved up to her breast and were softly stroking them. One of the other hands repositioned Elvira's head, freeing her hair from the web. "Your aunt Petunia right?" "The same. And you?" "Elvira Peterson, I'm the baby-sitter." "Not THE Elvira? Mistress of the Dark?" "No, not that one." Number three on things to do if I survive this, Elvira thought, change name. "Pity." Petunia said, one of her other hands starting to stroke the hair between her captives' legs. "Hey!" Elvira protested, trying to twist away from her. "Lively." Aunt Petunia said. She took hold of the baby- sitters arm and squeezed gently. "But tough. I'm not sure if there is enough seasoning in the world to make you palatable." "Trust me, there isn't." Elvira said, suddenly aware that sexual assault was not the top item on her worry list. "Perhaps you can serve in other ways." The aunt said, letting her fingers stroke the girl's side. Elvira started to laugh, and kept laughing as both sides of her chest were tickled. While she was laughing Petunia bent down and took one of the girls breast in her mouth. She slid her tongue along the areola, playing with the nipple. It became stiffer, and Elvira could feel her body react. "Oh no," she gasped out between laughs, "not more tickling!" Petunia withdrew and Elvira lay in the web gasping for air. She was hot, and that bothered her. A woman was bad enough, but this thing was too much. Still her breast stayed hard, the feeling between her legs did not subside. "I do like to bring other people laughter." Petunia said. Hanging on the web with two of her hands the woman reached over and started tickling Elvira's sides. At the same time Petunia's feet, impossibly formed to bend that way, Elvira thought, started to tickle her feet. Helplessly the Baby-sitter twisted and turned, all the time laughing as she had never laughed before. Petunia leaned inward, her mouth closing around Elvira's right nipple, even while another one of her hands massaged and pinched her left one. Assaulted from all sides Elvira wondered if the creature wasn't suddenly growing more arms. Another hand started to rub her pussy, tenderly probing the boundaries of her feminine doorway. "Stop!" she pleaded, then snarled. "If you don't stop I'll crush you when I get back to full height!" Suddenly Petunia stopped and leaned back. A strand of webbing came from her hand and she dropped off the web, hanging a few feet away. "You know," she said, a slow grim smile spreading on her face, "you might be tasty after all." "Great, a cannibalistic rapist." Elvira snapped. In response Aunt Petunia laughed and clapped her hands together in delight. "Foolish little girl, do you really think your going to get out of this house? Even if I let you out of this web?" "When my mother gets here on Monday..." "She'll be told that you went for a morning run, or jog, or perhaps my sister will take control of her mind and erase all knowledge of you." Aunt Petunia drifted closer to her once more. "The only hope you have of getting out of here is me, and how much I like you." Leaning in she hugged Elvira, using her extra arms to press their naked bodies together. She kissed Elvira hard on the mouth. "Make me happy," she murmured, "or your soup." Elvira kept her lips tightly closed for a moment, then relaxed and opened her mouth. Her tongue hesitantly sought out the other woman's tongue. "That's better." Aunt Petunia said. Another strand of webbing came from her hand and she secured Elvira tightly to the web, around her stomach and crisscrossing the captive's small breast. Harnessed to web only Elvira's legs were free. Aunt Petunia pulled the webbing tighter, forcing Elvira's breast to balloon out. Playfully she sucked as she tightened the webbing. Elvira moaned, as her nipples seemed to expand into the woman's mouth. Aunt Petunia ran her hands up and down Elvira's sides, causing laughter, and her feet stroked Elvira's toes, causing even more laughter. The laughter was soon mixed with moans as Aunt Petunia continued to suck on her breast. First one breast, than the other. Slowly she teased the nipples, both with her tongue and teeth. Elvira fidgeted and twisted, but the webbing held her. With deliberate slowness Aunt Petunia moved away from the breast and down her stomach, stopping between Elvira's legs. She was still tickling as her fingers opened Elvira's vagina and her tongue snaked inside. The helpless Baby- sitter gave a low growl as her insides were explored. The growl quickly changed to a scream as Aunt Petunia found her most sensitive spot. The older woman managed a throaty chuckle and withdrew. But Aunt Petunia only paused for a moment. She was soon back again and again. "You are enjoying this aren't you?" she whispered, withdrawing her tongue. Elvira was covered in sweat and her breathing was deep but quick, as if she could cool her body with the motion of her lungs. But she realized the sweat was loosening the webbing on her arms. She moaned an affirmative. "Good." Aunt Petunia said, twisting around. She was now upside-down, and Elvira found herself face to pussy. "If you make me happy, I'll make you happy." the woman said. Without hesitation Elvira lunged forward, pushing Petunia apart with her tongue. She drove into the woman so relentlessly Petunia was stunned. The spider woman's hands let go of the baby-sitter and started to caress and squeeze her own breast. The other hands left the baby- sitter and grabbed the web, using it to force herself higher. Elvira did not let up. Even as she was licking for all she was worth she was silently pulling her arm free from the web. It came loose slowly, as if she were pulling off a rubber glove. But it did come loose. By this time Petunia was too far-gone to notice. Nor did she notice when Elvira's other arm was freed. With both hands Elvira pulled the lips of Petunia's pussy apart and, along with her tongue probed the inside. Petunia screamed and hugged herself, using all of her arms to arouse her body. Elvira kept licking, probing, even as she began to swing Petunia into the web. Finally Petunia let out an orgasmic shriek, then lay still. Elvira moved quickly, starting to spin the woman around. Gently at first, then more quickly as Petunia realized what was going on. But she was still coming down from the orgasm, and the twirling made her dizzy, giving the baby- sitter time to tangle the woman in her own web. Elvira was still secured by the strands around her waist and chest, but her arms were free. Petunia's arms were trapped against her. She started to break the strands that held them but Elvira reached over and ran her fingers along the soles of the other woman's foot. "Let's talk about soup," she said, listening to Petunia's laughter. She kept the tickling up, and Petunia was soon too distracted to free herself. "That was incredible..." the now captive gasped. " I've never gone through anything... How do you? Who..." "Let's just say you can learn a lot from a Bundy." Elvira said, not letting up on the tickling. "Now lets talk about me getting full grown and out of here." ****** Elvira Peterson and the Witch's kids Episode three: Uncle Frank By Skytower The story so far: Elvira Peterson came to baby-sit Jeremy and Helga, the Carrion kids for the weekend. Things have not gone well. To start with Jeremy used a magic feather to tickle her into submission. After escaping the feather Elvira was then shrunk to the size of a doll. Escaping from Jeremy and Helga she ran straight into Aunt Petunia. Aunt Petunia is a small spider woman with many arms and a habit of spinning webs. Elvira manages to escape from her, take her captive and they are now heading back to Jeremy's lab, where our heroine hopes to grow up fast. (c)1998 by Skytower It is one of the great truths in life that the hunter does not like to be hunted, the trapper does not like to be trapped. Elvira knew this and kept a close watch over her captive. The woman was taller than she was, though at this point Elvira thought, who wasn't. Elvira herself estimated her own height at about six inches. She had been babysitting Jeremy and Helga Carrion when they had shrunk her. Well first they had enslaved her by means of a magic feather, then they shrunk her. She had escaped them only to run into Aunt Petunia. Their aunt was a multi-armed mutant who had her own spider web. Caught in the web and tickled (among other things) nearly into submission (again) Elvira had turned the tables on the woman. Now Petunia led her back toward Jeremy's laboratory. Elvira was taking no chances, her captive was thoroughly wrapped up in her own webbing. All of her arms were held tightly to her side and a thick strand went around her neck. Elvira had also discovered the spider woman's webbing made good clothing. She had made a pair of bikini bottoms and a halter from it. It wasn't great clothing it was too thin and transparent for that and it felt like she was wearing a wet towel. But it beat nudity. Wonder if I'm ready for the Sports Illustrated Swimsuit issue, Elvira thought ruefully. Elvira normally stood about five feet five in her bare feet. Her body was compact, with wide hips and slightly smaller than she would have liked breasts. She had soft brown hair that framed a gamin shaped face with similar colored eyes. "You'll never leave this house alive." Aunt Petunia snarled over her shoulder, her bright green eyes gleaming from a pale face surrounded by red hair. "I've done ok so far. Well aside from being tickled, striped, tickled again and getting licked in your web..." "You liked that." Petunia insisted. "I tolerated it." Elvira said, remembering the feel of the mutated woman's arms (all of them) and tongue on her body. She suppressed the thrill that went through her body with an effort. "Just remember if we don't get me big again your going into the nearest bug zapper. How did you get this way anyway?" "I babysat the kids one weekend." Petunia muttered bitterly. As they walked Elvira kept a sharp lookout. Jeremy had sent a modified GI-Joe action tank to look for her, and it might still be around. They came to a break in the plaster. A hole in the wall, barely big enough for them opened into darkness. "Through there." Petunia said. Elvira peered past her, but she might have well have closed her eyes. "Forget it." "If we do not go this way we shall have to go through the house." Petunia explained. "Jeremy and Helga have more than one toy capable of catching us." "What's it like in there?" "It's an old path, built by some ants who dared to try and live here." she smiled, showing a set of fangs Elvira hadn't seen before. "They were quite tasty." Elvira felt her stomach twist as she remembered where Aunt Petunia's tongue had been only an hour before. Controlling herself she looked at the mutated woman. Aunt Petunia's eyes glowed even more brightly in the dim light. A vibrating, captivating glow. She was talking too, her mouth moving up and down in a strange pattern. Slowly Elvira felt herself sink down onto the floor. Aunt Petunia bent over her, making that same strange pattern with her mouth. Not quite aware of what she was doing Elvira reached up and started to untangle the webbing that held Petunia captive. Petunia smiled, once again showing her fangs. The fangs ripped through Elvira's trance and she lashed out with her fist. Aunt Petunia dropped to one side like a stone. Elvira sat up, taking deep breaths to clear her head. "Nice try lady." she said. "But I've been hypnotized before." Some time later they came to the edge of a stone out cropping. Below them Elvira could see Jeremy's lab. The past few hours had been a series of twist and turns. Made none easier by the blindfold Elvira had made Aunt Petunia wear. Twice they had gotten lost. Elvira turned to Petunia and removed the blindfold, keeping her fist ready. Green eyes glowed angrily at her, but there was no strange vibration to them. "Get me down there safely and we part ways." "I must be free to do that." The spider woman insisted. Carefully Elvira freed one of the woman's arms. "That's it till I'm full sized lady." Aunt Petunia growled but spun a web and lowered them safely to the table. Once on the tabletop Elvira tied up the arm again and looked around. Before her was a sea of test tubes and beakers. Over to the left she could see a doll twice her size hooked up like Frankenstein on a table. "Where is it?" she demanded, pulling on the leash. "There." Petunia said, pointing toward a quart size jar labeled: "Aqua Amplificare Potio, Instabilis" Elvira frowned, the only word she recognized was aqua. Still if it was the only way. Tying Aunt Petunia to a Bunsen she walked over to the jar. The liquid inside had a faint blue tinge to it. Pushing a book over to the jar she climbed onto the book. Carefully she reached over and put her hand into the liquid. It was cold but only felt like water. Nothing happened. "Are you sure this is the right stuff?" "Of course it is, don't you read Latin?" "No, but if I ever get out of here I'm going to learn." Elvira muttered. "Perhaps total immersion is needed." Aunt Petunia suggested. "You might have to soak in it." Elvira thought for a moment, then sighed and jumped into the jar. Bracing herself against the chill she took a deep breath and dunked. Instantly she felt strange. The young girl panicked, realizing she could hurt herself if she grew on the inside of the jar. Grabbing the rim she pulled with all her might and suddenly found herself flying through the air. The world dimmed, as if the lights in the lab were suddenly snuffed out. Then it was over and she was lying on the floor, full sized. Even the web bikini had grown with her. Also she was completely dry. Somewhat dizzily Elvira stood up. Then she reached over and picked up the now tiny Aunt Petunia. "One last question, how do I get out of here?" "Take the first door on the left." Aunt Petunia said, squirming. "Good-bye then." Elvira said, putting her down and picking the webbing off of the aunt. "Have a nice life and all that." Petunia scrambled to the edge of the table and leaped, casting her webline to the ceiling. She climbed swiftly and was soon out of reach. "You better hope you're never in my web again." she snarled back, then was gone. The first door on the left led to a set of stairs. Elvira climbed them carefully, by now fully aware of the traps in Carrion Mansion. The steps opened up to an upstairs hallway that she actually recognized. It was the same hallway she had found Helga in a few hours before. She walked quickly but quietly, making it to her room. Stepping inside she flicked on the light and closed the door. Locking it securely she allowed herself a sigh of relief. The Guestroom Elvira was staying in was a large place. Fifty feet square with twenty-foot high ceilings. A four corner canopy bed stood in the center of the room. Between two floor-to-ceiling windows was a large ornate mirror. A set of double doors led to the bathroom. The decor, like the rest of the mansion screamed 18th century. Elvira went over to the bathroom and turned on the light. It was smaller than her room, but bigger than any other bathroom she had seen. There was a raised bathtub, toilet, sink and a mirror. In a closet she found towels, soap and a scrubbing brush. Elvira had never been one for baths, but she needed to get the grime of the past few hours off. Starting the water she tried to peel off the web suit. True to it's nature the webbing stuck to her hands soon tangling them. Frustrated she just stepped into the tub, submerging herself in the warm water. It worked and the webbing dissolved. Taking the scrubbing brush she set to work. "I am never babysitting again." she proclaimed to the room. Soaking in the antidote hadn't removed the entire dirt from her skin. The potion instead seemed to have acted like glue. It took minutes of scrubbing to get it off and Aunt Petunia's leftover juices were even harder. Growling Elvira kept scrubbing, trying to think of what to do when she found Jeremy and Helga. If she could just get that super soaker... She started to wash her pussy and jumped at the sensation. The brush had felt like cold fire and she could feel her body react. "Damn mutant!" Elvira swore, tossing the brush away. She settled back, determined just to soak. Elvira's sex life had never been too liberal. She had tried sex, once without much success. The guy was on the hockey team with her and it was his first time too. It hadn't been bad, but it didn't live up to expectations. Aside from that she and a girl from camp had once stayed out in the woods after dark. Playing in a stream they had tickled each other, even licked each other. That had been better but still not that great. It had only been after she had started baby-sitting that Elvira had discovered the stranger sides of sex. Unknowingly her hand drifted up to her breast and started to play with the nipple. It seemed that all she ever got were the weird kids of even weirder parents. Her other hand drifted between her legs as she remembered the tickling fight she had lost on her first job. Bud and Kelly had cornered her in Kelly's room and tickled her to the bed. Kelly had rope waiting and after that it was an all night struggle. Bud had been taken out by Kelly early on, tied up in his own room. Then Kelly had returned to her. Elvira kept stroking herself as she remembered Kelly's skill. Suddenly she heard someone giggling. Sitting up Elvira looked around, but saw nothing. "Idiot." she scolded herself. She might have realized that Jeremy would rig the place with cameras. Elvira wondered why she was so horny all of a sudden. In the past her fantasies had been romantic. Never had she remembered any of her baby-sitting adventures with longing. Angry at herself Elvira climbed out of the tub and reached for the towel. It was gone. So were all the towels in the closet. She stepped out of the bathroom and looked around. Some of her cloths were still on the bed. Cautiously she walked over to them. She heard that giggling again. It wasn't a girlish giggle like Helga's. This was a low chuckle, like a teenager. Slowly she reached for a shirt. It moved away from her. "What?" Elvira asked. She tried again and the shirt again moved out of her reach. Elvira turned her back for a moment, then whirled and dived, coming up with one of her bras. The chuckling continued as she put it one. She made another dive but this time the cloths were faster. They were out of her reach and on the floor. "Who's doing that?" Elvira shouted, looking around. "I know there's someone in here." "Very astute young woman." said a voice from nowhere. Elvira kept very still, she knew he was invisible so looking around for him would be useless. "The last few baby-sitters took far longer to realize what was going on." "Who are you?" Elvira asked, retreating toward the wall. She tripped over something and lay on the floor. "I'm Uncle Frank. Surely you've heard of me." "Nope." Suddenly she felt something stroke her foot. Laughing Elvira jerked it up. Something stroked the other foot. Elvira skidded backward on the floor trying to avoid the invisible feathers. She knew that's what they were, she had been tickled enough lately to know a feather. The feathers stopped working on her feet and suddenly under her arms were attacked. Laughing wildly Elvira struck out with her arms and legs hoping to get lucky. But she missed. She rolled over on her stomach, trying to get up and run. He tripped her again and she felt a weight descend on her ankles. Laughing hysterically Elvira writhed on the floor. At first the feathers concentrated on her sides. Try as she might she wasn't able to squeeze her arms tight enough to her sides to stop them. Her hair was brushed aside and the feather caressed the back of her neck. After a while it moved down to the small of her back. Elvira was by this time completely helpless. She just laid there and laughed. "You are really ticklish." Uncle Frank said. At least your back is. Let's say we make a deal, you take of your bra and roll over and I'll give you a few minutes to catch your breath." "No way." Elvira snarled. "Suit yourself." With that he shifted position, sitting on her back and bringing her feet up. The feather was applied delicately and lovingly. Elvira pounded her hands on the floor, desperately squirmed and twisted but got nowhere. "All right!" she screeched. With a chuckle Uncle Frank moved back to her ankles. Elvira put both arms around, reaching for the bra snap. Suddenly her wrists were grabbed and she felt soft leather enclosing them. There was an audible; "click" and her arms were securely bound behind her back. "What gives?" Elvira protested. "I lied." Frank said. Elvira found herself rolled over and staring into nothing, though she could still feel his weight on her legs. The front of her bra was grabbed and pulled down until it formed a bustier. "Now lets see what these nipples can do." Elvira had no time to protest as the feathers went to work. She couldn't see them but she felt them, delicately touching the tips of her nipples. She laughed more than before. She could feel her nipples getting hard, her breast getting heavy. Moisture began to collect between her legs. Without a word the tickling stopped and Elvira lay on the floor panting for breath. Frank picked her up, half carrying half pushing her over to the bed. Once there her legs were pulled apart and securely fastened to the bedpost. Elvira couldn't see the shackles, but she could feel the warm fur encircling her ankles. The shackles gave a little bit, but not much. A sharp pain in her breast caught her attention. She looked down to her nipples and saw them pressed inward. "Not nipple clamps." Elvira moaned. She hated those, had hated them ever since that flower girl and her number friend had used them on her. "Well something has to give a counterpoint to all the pleasure I'm giving you." Frank said. Somehow he made that sound reasonable. He left her alone for a few minutes, giving the girl time to test her bonds. But they were secure. She was helpless. "Now are you ticklish here?" Frank asked. Elvira nearly pulled her arms out of her sockets, as she felt the feather run up her inner thigh. It slowly caressed her pussy, driving her mad. She felt something push her vagina open and the feather flick at the edges. She screamed as her senses overloaded. Never had anything felt that good between her legs. The orgasm came almost before she knew it. She surged up, feeling an explosion of energy from the center of her womanhood. It came as a wave and then slowly subsided. As it subsided Elvira suddenly found herself seeing the world as if a strobe light was on. She found her room receding, the nipple clamps and shackles falling from her. She lay on a field of fabric, taking deep breaths. "Where did you go?" Frank called angrily. Elvira didn't answer. Ignoring her body's need for rest she ran to the edge of the bed and jumped. She was small again, and the young girl could guess what caused it. Landing on the floor she ran under the bed and leapt up into the springs. There she hid while Uncle Frank searched for her. He shouted, stomping around and pounding on the walls. Finally the door opened and shut. Not being fooled Elvira let it open and shut three more times before she felt safe. Then she climbed on to the top of the bed again. "Well, the last orgasm shrunk me, maybe another one will make me grow." she said aloud. Unfortunately her body wouldn't respond. Try as she might the young woman simply wasn't able to stimulate herself. Exhausted Elvira decided to rest a while. If Uncle Frank didn't know where she was, hopefully no one else would either. Crawling into a fold of the blanket the young girl laid down and let herself drift off to sleep. End. Will Elvira be able to grow again? Will this occur every time she has an orgasm? If so, will her boyfriends of the future understand? Sooner or later we will find out the answer to all these questions. And more. ************ Elvira Peterson and the Witch's kids Episode four: The Butler By Skytower The story so far: Elvira Peterson came to baby-sit Jeremy and Helga, the Carrion kids for the weekend. Things have not gone well. To start with Jeremy used a magic feather to tickle her into submission. After escaping the feather Elvira was then shrunk to the size of a doll. Escaping from Jeremy and Helga she ran straight into Aunt Petunia. Aunt Petunia is a small spider woman with many arms and a habit of spinning webs. Elvira manages to escape from her, take her captive and get back to Jeremy's lab. There she soaks in the potion that makes her grow. Getting back to her own room she was attacked by Uncle Frank, the invisible tickler. He tickled her to orgasm and that orgasm caused her to shrink once more. (c)1998 by Skytower Sexual frustration hits many different people many different ways. Some know it because of choice, some because of conscience and some because of fear. Elvira Peterson however, knew sexual frustration from a unique viewpoint. She lay on her bed, a bed that was to her the size of a swimming pool. Elvira now stood (or lay) only six and one half inches tall. Other than that she was normal. Elvira usually stood a little over five feet tall. She had a solid build, with wide hips and small but firm breast. Her face was bright, gamin shaped and framed by shoulder length soft brown hair. Lying back she closed her eyes and started to cares her own breast. She got no response, even when she pinched the oversized nipples. Frustrated Elvira let her hands travel down past her stomach to the triangle of hair between her legs. She rubbed the hair slowly, gently roughing it up, then smoothing it over again. Still she got nowhere. For all the response her body was showing Elvira might just have been lying naked in the snow. "Damn." she swore, sitting up. Elvira looked around her room, a very large Victorian bedroom. Extra large windows showed a storm raging outside. On the far side of the room was a doorway that led to the bathroom. Further along was a door that led to the hallway. Elvira kept her eye on the door to the hallway. If Jeremy or Helga came in now she was dead. "Two little kids." She swore ruthfully. It had seemed like any other baby-sitting assignment. Just watch the children for a weekend and get enough money to go to hockey camp. No one told her that the kids were a couple of mad scientist. First they had enslaved Elvira with a magic feather that had literally tickled her into submission. Then they had shrunk her and their mutated Aunt Petunia had caught her. Elvira sighed, thinking her self caught in the mutated woman's web. She'd never had any lesbian leanings, but then if Petunia wasn't human anymore did her making Elvira hotter than she'd ever been count? Thinking of herself hanging naked and helpless Elvira absentmindedly caressed her breast again. This time she got a response as it slowly hardened. She had escaped from Petunia and gotten back to normal size, only to be caught, bound and tickled by Uncle Frank. Uncle Frank was invisible, and like nearly everyone else in Carrion Mansion he liked to tickle. Tied spread-eagled to the bed Elvira had been tickled to the point of orgasm. She sighed again as she remembered, and one hand again moved between her legs. That orgasm had actually saved her from him. It triggered the shrinking potion that must still have been in her body. The young girl had shrunk so quickly Frank thought she had vanished. Elvira knew somehow that the orgasm had caused her to shrink again. And she guessed that another one would cause her to grow, possibly back to full size. But so far she could barely get aroused, much less reach a full orgasm. Suddenly the baby-sitter realized how aroused she was becoming. Her breasts were hard, the nipples like coiled springs. Moisture began to gather around her pussy. I refuse to be that kinky, Elvira thought. But she couldn't help it. The thought of being helpless and tickled was turning her on. Elvira thought of what would happen to her if Jeremy or Helga found her. With a determined growl she ploughed on. Instead of Aunt Petunia alone she now added Uncle Frank to the list. They held her down, despite her struggles. Every inch of her was exposed. Aunt Petunia started to lick the juices from between her legs, while Uncle Frank played lightly over her nipple with his invisible feathers. She was getting close to a climax when Elvira heard the door open. The mood was broken and the shrunken girl dived under the covers. The sight that met her eyes when she looked out was stunning, even for the Carrion Mansion. A teddy bear wandered into the room. Twice Elvira's current height he was dressed in a tweed coat. Tubby, as all teddy bears were, he had light brown fur and cute button eyes. His paws were somewhat short, but working non-the-less. Giving the room a quick glance he walked over to the bed and hopped up. "It is no use hiding Miss Peterson." the bear said in a stern British voice. "My eyes are very sharp and my ears very good. I heard you from the hallway." "Who are you?" Elvira asked, standing up and drawing the edge of the sheets around her. "I am Mr. Bear, the butler." "A teddy bear as a butler?" "Not teddy." Mr. Bear corrected her, his voice betraying annoyance. "Theodore Y. Bear" he made the "Y" sound like an "I". "What are you, one of Jeremy's little experiments?" "Actually I am the result of young Helga's first magical spell. She accidentally channeled my spirit from the day of my death and placed me in this body. Being English I have adapted and assumed the role of butler to this house." "Good for you." Elvira said. "Thank you. Now if you will come with me Master Jeremy wishes to experiment on you." "Forget it!" she snapped. "In the first place that kid ain't touching me, in the second place I'm not wearing anything." "It is not proper for a young lady to use the word "aint" Mr. Bear said. " It is not even a proper word. As to your nudity, my dear I am a butler, I have seen it all." Faster than Elvira thought he could move the bear pulled the sheets away from her. She tried to run but Mr. Bear jumped in front of her. The baby-sitter bounced off his stomach and fell backward on the bed. She rolled over and started to scramble away but he jumped on her back and grabbed her arms. Elvira laughed. Not because of the situation, but because the bear's fur was tickling her. The more she struggled the more she laughed. Realizing what was going on Elvira rolled over and hugged Mr. Bear. "My word." the butler whispered as she rolled them over. Filling her mind with images of ropes and feathers Elvira started to rub her self all over the toy. She felt every strand of fur as it brushed her breast. She felt the fur on the bear and the hair of her pussy tangle, then pull apart like Velcro. "Yes!" the young girl, shouted between laughs. "Make me big!" "See here young woman!" Mr. Bear protested. "I am not equipped for this sort of thing anymore, and even if I were I should be requesting that of you." He shifted rolling them over again. Pinned beneath a mountain of fur with her arms held Elvira gyrated and twisted. Laughing with all her might, her mind running through every sexual fantasy she had ever had. "Big! Big! Big!" she shouted. It happened, the sudden dimming of the lights, the feeling of surrealism. "Ow!" Elvira said as her head hit the ceiling. It only took a moment for her to understand what had happened. She had gone too far. Her body had gone from too small to too big. She looked down at herself, and at the wreckage of the room. Rooms. She had crashed through the wall and now was tightly wedged into two rooms. The last time Elvira had felt like this had been a few jobs back. She had been sealed into an antique steamer trunk. Only this time no fast talking girl would bore her to death. She hoped. Elvira was sitting up, with her knees under her chin, her back to the wall and her head pushed into her chest by the ceiling. She tried to move but the walls wouldn't budge. The baby-sitter found that she could move her arms a little, and her legs. But that was it. "Young lady this is entirely bad form." Mr. Bear said. Elvira looked down and saw him balanced on the lawn of brown hair her pussy had become. "Using me like that... I don't think I'll ever get my fur clean again... Probably have to go through the washing machine... I'll get dizzy spells for days..." "Sorry." Elvira said. "Wait here." Mr. Bear said, pulling himself up and straightening his coat. "I shall go get the children." Still mumbling to himself the butler jumped off of her and left. Some time later the door opened and Jeremy walked in, followed by Helga. Jeremy and Helga were very much alike. They stood the same height both had red hair. His was cut short hers streamed to her waist. Dark green eyes drew her in each time she looked at them. "Wow!" Jeremy exclaimed. "I suppose now my chest is big enough for you." Elvira said sarcastically. "Respectable." the young scientist said, walking over to her. "Very respectable." "How did you get away from Aunt Petunia?" Helga asked. "Turn about's fair play." Elvira said. "Now how do I back to normal?" "I have no idea." "What!" Elvira tried to jump, shaking the mansion in her shock. "What do you mean no idea!" "Well to begin with," Jeremy said, picking himself up off the floor, "my potion was meant to shrink, not grow." "I bet she tried the other potion." Helga said. "The one you haven't perfected yet." "Haven't perfected?" Elvira echoed feeling her stomach sink. "Perhaps if you tell me exactly what happened I can help you." Elvira took a deep breath, forcing herself to keep calm. She needed the kids or she would be stuck in this room for a long time. "Well I tied up Aunt Petunia..." "Bet she didn't like that." Helga interrupted. "And got her to take me back to your lab." Elvira continued, ignoring her. "We found a bottle of the stuff you used on me, I soaked it and grew again. Then I got back to my room and your Uncle Frank tickled me. Hard. I shrunk again. Then your teddy bear..." "Theodore Y Bear if you please." "Sorry. Theodore caught me and we wrestled. I laughed a lot and suddenly I'm big again." Jeremy was silent for a moment. Reaching over he ran his hand over her foot. Elvira laughed and the boy scientist jumped back barely avoiding the foot. "It does not seem to be triggered by laughing alone." He said thoughtfully. "If I may young sir." Mr. Bear said. "The young woman is not telling the whole truth. Forgive me Miss Peterson, I can understand you wish to retain a measure of modesty..." "Oh go ahead." Elvira said pragmatically. "I'm a fifty foot tall naked girl, I don't think modesty is something I have to worry about anymore." "Very well. As I was saying Master Jeremy the young women's growth did occur as we wrestled. But as we wrestled she was trying to engage me in a sexual intercourse. I believe the growth occurred at the zenith of her sexual frenzy." "Wow!" Jeremy and Helga said at the same time. They looked at her and Elvira felt the blood rush to her face. "This would explain much." Jeremy said. "Tell me, the bottle you say you soaked in, was it marked "Aqua Amplificare Potio, Instabilis"? "Yea, that sounds like it." "You soaked in an unstable potion?" Helga asked. "How could you be so dumb?" "How the hell was I supposed to know that it was unstable?" "What do you think "instablilis" means? Don't you read Latin?" "No." the baby-sitter said, gritting her teeth. "I don't." "What poor education systems they have nowadays." Mr. Bear murmured sadly. "How far did you soak in the liquid?" "All the way." "Did you swallow any?" "No." Jeremy hummed softly to himself. "Was that a good hum or a bad hum?" Elvira asked. "I'm not sure. I'll have to run some test. Theodore?" "Yes sir." "I'll need some hair samples. Head, pubic and ears." "I'll get the hedge clippers sir." "Wait a minute!" Elvira shouted, blowing them against the wall with the sound of her voice. "I am not going to be an experiment." Wood splintered and cracked as Elvira flailed out with her arms and legs. Slowly she started to force the wall outward. "Stop that!" Jeremy shouted at her. "If you break that wall it comes out of my allowance!" "Tough!" Elvira shouted back. "Helga, get the jar. Theodore with me!" With that shout the young scientist leapt onto Elvira's leg and started to climb. Theodore was right behind him. Using the hair on the baby-sitters legs they scrambled toward her stomach. With an enraged roar Elvira swiped at them but missed. Accompanied by the bear Jeremy used Elvira's breast for a springboard and landed on her neck. "Get off of me!" Elvira shouted. She stretched herself mightily, feeling the walls start to give way. She felt Jeremy swing behind her, using a lock of her hair for a rope. There was a sudden pain in her neck and suddenly both her arms went numb. "What the hell are you doing?" Elvira screeched. "I don't care how large you are," Jeremy shouted back, "you still have a central nervous system." With an enraged roar Elvira threw her weight forward, scraping her head across the ceiling. Her arms came to life again as she saw Jeremy and Theodore fly across the room. Get her guys!" Helga screamed running back into the room. She was carrying a glass jar and opened it. A flock of feathers erupted out of the jar and dove toward the giant babysitter. Elvira flailed her arms in every direction, but it was hopeless. It was impossible to fight off the swarm and they tickled every inch of her exposed flesh. It happened again, she reached orgasm and the lights dimmed, she had a sense of falling. Slowly she climbed to her feet and looked around. The place was a wreck with huge holes in the walls and ceilings. Theodore leaned against one wall, while Jeremy and Helga helped each other stand. With a warm feeling in her stomach Elvira realized she was back to her normal height. Stunned she looked at herself, amazed at the sight. She was still looking when Jeremy and Helga tackled her. "Hey!" Elvira protested, trying to fight back. She was still coming down from the high of an orgasm though. Off balance already she was pushed onto her back. Then Jeremy grabbed her legs and twisted, forcing the baby-sitter onto her stomach. Helga jumped on her back, driving the air out of her lungs. Hugging her legs under his arms Jeremy bent down and back. He was now resting on the back top part of her legs, holding the lower part bent double. "Get the things," he gasped out, "I'll keep her busy." Elvira started to laugh as he tickled her feet. She was still too weak and out of breath to fight back. Vainly she tried to push up with her arms, but there was no way to reach him. It only took a few minutes for Helga to come back, but by that time Elvira could only wiggle and squirm. She felt her arms being pulled straight out and fasted to a bar. As soon as that was done Jeremy stopped tickling her. Breathing heavily with relief the young woman was too weak to resist as they sat her up. The bar was connected to a harness that crisscrossed her chest. A blindfold was tied over her eyes. After that she was allowed to fall back to the floor. Chest heaving body covered in sweat and dust Elvira took in deep gulps of air. "Alright." Jeremy said, his own voice sounding a little out of breath. "Let's get her to the lab." End. Will Elvira ever leave Carrion Mansion? Will she ever get through one episode of this tale fully clothed? What will happen in the lab? Don't worry, I'll get back to this some time. Right now I have a baby-sitter of my own to deal with. ********* Elvira Peterson and the Witch's kids Episode five: Aunt Petunia's Revenge By Skytower Elvira has finally regained her normal size, only to be attacked and captured by Jeremy and Helga. Bound and Blindfolded she is now on her way to the LAB! (scary huh?) (c)1998 By Skytower "Okay, why the blindfold?" Elvira demanded. They were walking down some sort of corridor, she could tell that by the smooth carpet under her feet. There was also the slightly musty smell that permeated most of Carrion Mansion. Once again she flexed her arms, but once again they stayed bound. Elvira was bound with a solid wooden bar laid across her shoulders and a harness crisscrossed between her breast. Each arm was bound the length of the bar with Velcro straps. Given some time alone the young girl knew she could work loose, but the kids weren't giving her that time. "It's meant to keep your escape potential down." Jeremy said. Elvira could picture his deceptively cherubic face a he talked. Slim, red haired and green eyed he looked harmless. His sister was much the same, though her hair was longer. "Jeremy subscribes to Abductor Monthly." Helga said from the other side. Briefly Elvira considered smashing them with the wooden rod, but decided against it. She would have to take them both out at once, and there was little hope of that. "According to recent studies the blindfold decreases your escape potential by 20%. Your nudity adds another 20 to 30% of deterrence." "Always nice to have statistics." Elvira said sarcastically. It was still a little embarrassing to be nude in front of them. That two children had taken her prisoner, even if they had used magic to do it, was infuriating. Even now she could feel Jeremy's eyes on her. She was good to look at Elvira knew. Five feet four to six inches in her bare feet, her body compact, but shaped well. True her breasts were considered small by Hollywood standards and her hips a little too wide, but there had never been any complaints. At least not in the last 24 hours, and more people had seen her naked lately than normal. Of course of those people one was a mutated lady spider, another was an invisible tickler, and the last one was the spirit of Englishman channeled into the body of a teddy bear. Given all that it was doubtful that she would have heard any complaints anyway. "From now on my limit is 10, I don't care how much money is involved." "What do you mean by that?" Helga asked. "I meant that I'm never babysitting anyone over the age of 10 again, I thought 12 would be safe, but you two proved that wrong." "We are not 12." Jeremy said. "We are 84." Helga added. Elvira stopped and felt them each bump into her. Vainly casting her head around she tried to see them through her blindfold. "What do you mean you're 84?" "Our family ages differently than most humans." Jeremy said. "Mother maintains that it is because we are more evolved." Elvira felt a push in the small of her back and started moving again. "Then why the hell do you need a babysitter?" "That's something I've asked mother many times." Jeremy said. "She says that it's the only way to keep the torches and pitchforks crowd away." Helga said. "Oh." Elvira worked her arms again, but again the straps held. So why are we going to the lab?" she demanded. "I'm normal size now." "We know, but Jeremy promised to bring Lucretia to life." "It's her unbirthday present." "Oh great, a mad scientist who reads Alice in Wonderland. Do you know what I'm going to do to you two after I get loose?" Suddenly Jeremy and Helga brought her to a stop. Elvira heard clanking noises ahead of them. "Hello children." "Just when I thought it couldn't get any worse." Elvira whispered her heart jumping. "Aunt Petunia." Helga gasped, confirming what Elvira had guessed. "That's right Helga." Suddenly Elvira felt the two children leave her. She could guess why. After she had first been shrunk the baby-sitter had run into Aunt Petunia. Helga and Jeremy had mutated the woman. Their aunt had been shrunk to about a foot tall and had grown an extra set of arms. She also had the ability to create webbing. Elvira had fallen into her web and only escaped by licking the woman into an orgasm. From the sound of Petunia's voice the babysitter guessed that, like her, Aunt Petunia had grown. "I got to thinking after Elvira left me, if the potion worked on her it might work on me. A quick drink later and here I am." There was a whipping sound and Elvira felt a wind go past her. She stood absolutely still as the sound of a struggle rose to it's height, then quickly abated. For a few moments there was silence. "Who won?" the young girl asked. "Do you really need to ask?" Aunt Petunia said, whipping the blindfold off. Elvira felt the air leave her lungs. Aunt Petunia had not only regained normal height, she had gone beyond it. At least seven feet tall she still had four arms. She had also grown an extra pair of breast. Large and firm with wide pink areolas and slightly indented nipples. Her figure was firm, muscles rippled under the skin Elvira could see. And she could see it all. The sheer volume of the woman was intimidating. But it was muscle, not fat that the babysitter saw. The tangle of hair between her legs could have swallowed the young woman's face. Her feet were huge, the toes as long as a child's fingers. "Hi..." the baby-sitter stuttered. "You seem to... Do you..." "Remember you?" Petunia smiled stroking Elvira's breast. "You are the young girl who treated me to one of the best orgasms I've had in years." She took hold of Elvira's nipple and pinched. "Then tied me up and tickled me into slavery." Pinching the nipple fiercely Petunia forced Elvira to her knees, then on her back. Releasing her hold the woman grabbed Elvira's legs and webbed them together. The webbing had grown with Petunia. It was as thick as clothesline rope and at least as strong. After Elvira's legs were secured from her ankles to just below her knees Petunia lightly stroked her feet. "I did warn you what would happen if I ever got you in my web didn't I." Leaving Elvira's feet the mutated woman ran her tongue over Elvira's pussy, easily parting the hair. While she explored that area two of her hands kneaded the young girls breast. "What about the kids?" Elvira gasped out. "Yes your right." abruptly Petunia stood and walked over to Jeremy and Helga. They were both little more than white cocoons and she hefted them easily. "I'll be back." she sang as she walked away. It took a little while but Elvira finally freed herself from the bar, breaking it across her shoulders. She was in one of the corridors of Carrion Mansion. Ten feet wide and fifteen feet tall, with dark wood paneling the mansion was a model of Victorian splendor. Suits of armor lined the walls, alternating with family portraits. Elvira rolled over to one of the armor suits and started to use its sword to cut through the webbing. It took a while, even though the sword was sharp. Once that was done the young girl stood up and looked around. No one was in sight, and there were no suspicious sounds. For the first time in what seemed like years Elvira relaxed. Then she started to head back to her own room. "I say, excuse me." Elvira stopped as part of the wall opened and a teddy bear walked through it. He was about a foot tall, with a tweed vest and cute button eyes. "Hiya." Elvira said, continuing on. "You must help, Aunt Petunia is planning something terrible for the youngsters." "Good, maybe she'll let me watch." "I say!" he started to follow her. "Young woman that is a most deplorable attitude." "What?" Elvira stopped short and Mr. Bear bumped into her leg. "Despite the children's mischief you are still the baby- sitter, they are still in your care." Somehow the tubby toy managed to draw himself up and look down at her. "You cannot abandon that responsibility." Elvira opened her mouth to argue, then stopped. He was right. She didn't like it but he was right. Besides, the basic strategy of self preservation dictated she tackle Petunia while she was busy doing something else. "Where are they?" "In the solarium. Miss Petunia is laughing in a most unseemly manor." "Ok, let's get to my room first and then to the solarium." "Of course." Mr. Bear said, leading the way. "You must have some terrible weapon in your room." "Something like that." Elvira said. A little while later Elvira and Mr. Bear peered cautiously through stained glass. The solarium was located on the East Side of Carrion Mansion. Dark stained glass three stories high caught the moonlight, turning the interior into a stark white graveyard. Vague images on the glass showed scenes from Dante's Inferno. There was a sunken fountain in the center of the room. A stone woman lay under a murderer's ax, her throat spraying water into an onyx basin. Elvira, dressed in the oversized hockey shirt she used as a nightgown, shuddered. The jersey had been the only piece of clothing she could find in what was left of her room. That and the hockey stick she nearly always carried. The stick usually made her feel secure. Now she wished it were some sort of machine gun. Aunt Petunia had erected a giant web across the solarium. Toward the bottom were two struggling cocoons that must have been Helga and Jeremy. Just inside the window near the floor the mutated woman adjusted two giant lenses. The lightening sky told Elvira what Petunia was planning. "She likes cooked kids." she whispered. "Indeed." Mr. Bear said. "In fact I do believe she was trying to do this when the children first shrunk her." "I don't suppose it's going to be a cloudy day." Elvira sat down and brought her knees up to her chest. "Clear and mild with temperatures in the 50's." Mr. Bear said. Elvira stared at him and he added. "I am the butler, it is one of my duties to know the weather." "Of course." she peered through the door again. There was no chance of her taking on Aunt Petunia. Not in a firefight anyway. "Teddy..." "Mr. Bear, please." "Mr. Bear," she continued through gritted teeth, "go to Jeremy's lab and get me either a jar of feathers or that supper soaker filled with the shrinking potion or both." "At once madam." the bear lumbered off and Elvira glanced into the room again. The sky was rapidly growing lighter with the promise of a new day. Rising the baby-sitter quietly jogged down the hall, stopping at the first door. As quietly as possible she unscrewed the doorknobs. From the solarium she could hear the theme song to the TV show "Friends". It was sung off key and sent chills down her spine. "I hate that show." she half whispered, half snarled. With the doorknobs free she crept back up the corridor. Minutes passed and the sky grew lighter. With a splendid vista of colors the sun started to rise. In practically no time at the entire solarium was filled with a golden glow. It shone through the stained glass, making the torments of hell dance with eerie life. Aunt Petunia sang as the sun rose, switching from Friends theme song to Sienfeld. "You know I really am looking forward to this." she said giving Jeremy's cocoon a poke. It shuddered and struggled in response. "Little children are oh so sweat and tasty." Sunlight hit the lenses at that point and a small star was born on each cocoon. Almost instantly it they started to glow with heat. Then one of the stars shattered. In shock Aunt Petunia turned to the doorway. Standing there Elvira took careful aim and let loose another wristshot. It shattered the second lens. "How dare you!" Aunt Petunia growled. "Friends, Sienfeld and now a cliche?" Elvira stood with the hockey stick ready. "Lady you need help." With a snarl the mutated woman leapt at her. Elvira dodged and parried with her stick. It threw her opponent to one side, but before the girl could brace herself Aunt Petunia was on her. The hockey stick was thrown out of her hands. They rolled on the ground, wrestling. Elvira quickly found herself on her back. Two of Petunia's hands held the baby-sitters wrist above her head. Elvira's ankles were held tightly by Petunia's elongated toes. Unfortunately that left Elvira stretched out and helpless, with the last set of Petunia's hands free. "Maybe I'm not that hungry right now." Aunt Petunia purred as she slowly lifted the jersey up Elvira's body. She spread her legs out, forcing Elvira's legs apart as well. Slowly the spider woman rubbed her pussy against Elvira's. The jersey was pulled up under her arms, exposing the young woman's breast. Aunt Petunia bent down and took one of the breast in her mouth, nibbling softly at the oversized nipple. "Forget it lady." Elvira said, her voice hanging coldly in the air. "Right now I'm picturing Rush Limbaugh humping Roseanne." "Humm!" Petunia let out a long sigh. "Sounds like fun." Lightly she reached down and stroked Elvira's sides. "In fact it sounds funny." Clenching her teeth Elvira tried not to laugh. She had lost count of the times laughing her way to an orgasm had caused her to shrink or grow. She couldn't afford to shrink now, and even if she grew it might not be enough. Aunt Petunia was persistent though. One of her toes stretched around and stroked the souls of Elvira's foot. That was it. Elvira started to giggle. Then laugh. Soon time lost all meaning as the baby-sitters nerves screamed at her. When finally Aunt Petunia bent down and took Elvira's breast in her mouth she found it full and stiff. Elvira moaned through her laughter as her nipple was sucked and teased. "Stop vile creature!" Mr. Bear ordered. Shocked out of her arousal Elvira wrenched free of Petunia's grasp and rolled away from her. "Good timing teddy." "Mr. Bear..." Elvira interrupted him by grabbing the super soaker out of his hands and firing. "Shrink baby shrink!" she shouted. The stream of liquid shot out and hit Petunia in the chest. The woman's body shook, then glowed. Then grew. Before Elvira's eyes Aunt Petunia expanded, not stopping until she filled most of the room. "Didn't you get the shrinking potion?" "I thought I did. Your did specify the super soaker did you not?" "The fault is not his my dear." Petunia's voice reverberated around the solarium, making the glass vibrate. "What you did not realize was that a second does of the potion would have a different effect on my already mutated form." she smiled, showing a row of fangs. "No harm done." "Give me that!" Elvira shouted, grabbing the mason jar from the teddy bear. "Penna Titilare Aunt Petunia!" she shouted, unscrewing the jar. At once the feathers swarmed out and surrounded the giant woman. Petunia screamed and thrashed, her screams turning to laughter as the feathers tickled her from all sides. While she laughed Elvira darted forward and grabbed Jeremy and Helga's cocoons. Jumping and dodging she carried them out of the room. Looking back she could tell Petunia was lost in the tickling high. The glassy look in her eyes told Elvira she was nearing the limit. A sudden idea came to Elvira. Grabbing Mr. Bear she threw him onto Petunia's chest. "Go for the nipples!" she shouted following him. While Mr. Bear rubbed for all he was worth Elvira leapt to the woman's pussy. Pulling off her shirt she used it to rub the sides, stimulating Petunia even more. It took a few minutes, then there was a shriek and suddenly Petunia shrunk. It was even quicker than her growth. One minute she was gigantic, the next she was lain exhausted in Elvira's palm. Elvira was waiting that afternoon when Mrs. Carrion came home. Sitting in an overstuffed arm chair the young girl was dressed in a Victorian gown. It was the only thing she could find that fit. In a birdcage Aunt Petunia lazily swung on a swing. Jeremy and Helga were propped up next to each other on the couch, still cocooned. The baby-sitter took a sip from the tea Mr. Bear handed her and looked up expectantly. "Did you have fun this weekend?" Mrs. Carrion asked. End. ************* Elvira Peterson and the Witch's kids Episode six: Old Potions Never Die By Skytower Months ago while babysitting Jeremy and Helga Carrion, Elvira Peterson was tickled, shrunk, assaulted by a mutated aunt, tickled, grown to three times her normal height, shrunk and then bound. Now she's back. (c)1999 by Skytower Elvira Peterson slowed her moped to a stop and took a deep breath. A chill breeze curled around her, defeating the early evening spring sunshine. Deepening shadows were growing slowly around her, but none compared to Carrion Mansion. Weakly lit by the dying day the mansion loomed before her, it's semi-Gothic architecture deceptively welcoming. Like a mousetrap baited with pleasant smelling cheese. "Stop it." she scolded herself. "Houses are just wood and glass and other stuff." If the mansion heard her it did not react. It just sat, as it had sat for years on the small rise on the outskirts of town. A grey stone wall surrounded the house, though it wasn't really needed. Over many years and after many unexplained occurrences (not to mention a few disappearances) no one in town was fool enough to go near the mansion. "Well, almost no one." she whispered, getting off of her moped. But then, she thought, I really don't have much choice. As it had done months before the wrought iron gate opened on it's own, but something new had been added to it. A black gargoyle's face glared at her as the gate swung back. Pitted and scared by the elements the face seemed to mutely curse her. Hurrying past it Elvira jogged up to the front steps. Leaning the moped to one side she picked up her pack and walked over to the door. Two more gargoyle head knockers stared at her. She knocked, then took a step back as the sound shook the house. "Get a grip." she told herself crossly. "You're not a rookie." Elvira was pretty by almost any standard, though not stunningly beautiful by Hollywood standards. She stood about halfway over five feet, with long brown hair that was currently tucked into a wool cap. Loose fitting jeans and a Bruins warm up jacket further obscured a slight but appealing figure. Her face was gamin like, with high forehead, rich brown eyes and a slightly too small nose over a soft mouth. The door opened and an extremely tall woman with crimson hair greeted her. "Welcome Elvira." Lillith Carion said, retreating a little to let the babysitter in. The elder Carion had not changed at all since the last time Elvira had seen her. Extremely tall and thin, with a face seemingly chiseled out of pale marble. Framing that face was dark red hair. The most striking feature in the face was a pair of bright green eyes. She was wearing a black sequined evening gown and looked exotically (or terrifyingly Elvira told herself) beautiful. Elvira walked in, setting her bag down near the stairs. Carion Mansion had not changed in the few months she'd been away. In front of her a set of stairs led upward to the second floor, branching off into the two main wings of the house. To her right was the entrance to the dinning room, to her left the kitchen. At the top of the stairs Jeremy and Helga Carrion stood and smiled at her. They were twins, with the same crimson hair as their mother. Like her their skin was pale, both faces were thin, his to the point of looking pinched, her's merely looking chunky. His red hair was cut short, almost a buzz cut, her's was long, nearly to her waist. Four green eyes gazed at her, giving the babysitter the feeling that she was in the sights of some arcane weapon. "Nice to see you again." Jeremy said. "At full size." Helga added. "Children." Mrs. Carrion said, her tone one of warning as she put on her coat. "I do not wish to hear of any unpleasantness on Monday. Is that understood?" "Yes mother." Jeremy and Helga said at the same time, in the same voice. The voice did nothing to reassure the babysitter. "Here are the emergency numbers." Mrs. Carrion said, handing Elvira a small black book. Goodbye." "See ya." Elvira said. "Okay." Elvira said, marching up the stairs as soon as the door closed. "A couple of things to clear up. First: where's Aunt Petunia?" "Father took her to a specialist in the old country." Jeremy said. "He was a little upset after she tried to eat us." "Yea? How did he feel about the two of you mutating her?" "He said that it was 'excusable youthful exuberance' Jeremy said. "Of course, everyone mutates their aunt." "Why are you back with us?" Jeremy asked as they followed her down the hallway. "I haven't heard anything about Hell freezing over." "I need your help." "Our help?" Elvira opened the door to her old room, noting that they had fixed up the damage from her last visit. Going inside she threw her pack down on the bed and turned to them. "Yea, I'm still going up and down a lot." "The formulea is still active?" "Good work Jeremy!" Helga exclaimed, slapping him on the back. "I'm brilliant." he agreed with false modesty. "Hey!" Elvira protested. "Master mind! I've still got a problem. Every time I laugh too much or..." "Engage in intercourse enough to reach an orgasmic level of satisfaction?" Helga suggested as Elvira faltered. "Yea." Elvira said, blushing. "I either shrink or grow, or grow too much." "Well as long as you avoid hilarity and sex you should be ok." Jeremy said. "That's not going to happen Jeremy." "Indeed? I didn't know you were that promiscuous." "I'm not..." "I hope you're careful." Helga said. "What?" "She's right," Jeremy agreed, "the formula could be transferable." "I wonder if her and her partner could grow simultaneously?" "Maybe, but I..." "Enough!" Elvira shouted. Jumping off the bed she grabbed the two children by the throats. "Can you cure me?" Jeremy hummed to himself and Elvira released them. Keep your temper, she thought. They shrunk ya last time, who knows what they've worked on since then. "Was that a good hum or a bad hum?" "That was a; 'I'm running out of a air ' hum." he said, rubbing his neck. "But in answer to your first question: yes I think I can cure you. But we'll have to go the lab." "The lab." Elvira repeated. "Okay lets go to the lab." As they walked through the corridors of Carion Mansion Elvira looked around. The place was still the same, high ceilings, dark wood paneling, a few tapestries and suits of armor. Lit by flickering lamps it was the model of a haunted house. Unfortunately it wasn't haunted. Elvira would have welcomed ghost instead of the two children who walked in front of her. It didn't help that they weren't really children, but some strange species of humanity that simply aged slowly. According to Jeremy they were both in their 80's. Trusting the two of them again was not what Elvira wanted to do, but it beat explaining things to her mother. Or ending up spending another night in her little sisters Malibu Stacy dream house. They came to the end of the corridor and stopped. Elvira braced herself as Jeremy pulled a sword on one of the armored suits. The floor vanished and they fell into darkness. This time Elvira landed on her feet. Getting up slowly she looked around. Jeremy and Helga bounced up and went over to a computer console. The console was new, and big, taking up the entire south wall. "I thought you went in for magic and alchemy and stuff." Elvira said, walking over to him. The sound of chemicals bubbling and boiling filled her ears, even as chemical scents assaulted her nose. "I am, but there is no law that says a computer can't hold a spell." he patted the console. "Father got this for me for my birthday." "Nice, I got a new hockey stick." Elvira said, studying the machine. It looked like every computer she had ever seen on TV. It had a keyboard, large monitor, dozens of dials and switches neatly arranged. Near the top center was an outline and three empty holes. "Should I be worried the manufacturers logo's missing?" "Not at all." Jeremy said. "I've made extensive modifications." "Oh great." Elvira muttered. "Just give me a few seconds to call up your file." Leaving him to the machine Elvira wandered over to Helga. The little girl was making a notation on a notepad. Suspended in mid air was a small ball that looked like green jelly. "Still working on bringing that doll to life?" Elvira asked. "We did that already. " Helga said. "She and Mr. Bear ran of and got married. They're on their honeymoon." "Oh." the babysitters mind whirled for a moment as she tried to picture a teddy bear with the spirit of an English butler making love to an animated Malibu Stacy doll. "What's that then?" "A transformation pill." Helga glanced up at her and smiled. "Forget it." Elvira said, backing away. "I'm not ending up as a spider centaur." "That was Jeremy's experiment." the little girl protested, a hurt look coming over her face. "I don't turn people into spiders." "Sorry." Mollified Helga turned back to the experiment. Elvira gave her a ten count before asking the inevitable question. "What does it do?" "Either a bird, a mouse or a cat, I'm not sure yet. Jeremy's the one who likes nice orderly things, that's why he went into science." "And you like things crazy?" "Chaotic." Helga agreed. "Found the file." Jeremy called. Elvira and Helga went over to the computer and looked at the screen. A complex chain of chemicals was dancing across the monitor. "Pretty colors," Elvira conceded, "what do they mean." "It is hard to say." he punched the keyboard a few times and the chemicals danced some more. "Can you tell me the exact moments and circumstances when the changes took place?" "Oh yea, it's not something I forget easily. First time was about a month after I left the fun house here. " Elvira sighed, remembering. "Polly's hitting me!" "I am not." "Settle down!" Elvira shouted, trying to keep the tray of snacks balanced as she moved across the room. Her sister Guinevere held court on her bed, explaining to one and all how a perfect snowball was made. Elsewhere in the room a cauldron of little girls sought mischief. "Everything alright dear?" the call came from her mother's room, a safe fortress in the remote recesses of the hallway. "Just fine mom!" Elvira called back, setting the tray down and pulling back in time to avoid getting trampled. Impossible, she thought. There must be more than four girls here. Muffled; "Thank you's" were heard. Elvira closed the door, hoping her mother wouldn't be tempted to get out of bed. A broken leg needed time to heal, and she was determined to give her mother that time. "Game time!" Guinevere cried out. "Tho it doth cost me my sanity." Elvira whispered to herself. Where Elvira took after her father's side of the family, her sister leaned more toward her mother. Blonde hair, cute face, arms and legs already surpassing her body, Guinevere had five or six years before growing into the true beauty she would become. "One game only." Elvira called back. "And everyone gets to play." "Darts." Polly called out. Polly was the closest thing to a punk ten-year-old Elvira had ever seen. She had blue highlights in her hair and was a little pudgy. "No sharp objects." "Makeovers." Danielle called. She was the fashion plate of the group, with great blue eyes and long black hair. "No chemicals." "Doom." Mary called, she loved either the computer or the TV, and had the thick glasses to prove it. "And let you near the computer again? Forget it." It went on like that for a while, Elvira rejecting one game after another. Then Guinevere called out: "Twister!" "What is Twister?" Jeremy asked interrupting. "You never played?" "If I had played, I would have known what the game was, and therefore I would not have asked." He's gonna be a principle when he grows up, Elvira thought. "Twister is game where you place a mat on the floor. On the mat are different colored dots. Arranged in a crisscross pattern. A person has a big color chart divided with parts of the body. You spin an arrow and it lands on say Blue under left foot. The person on the mat whose turn it is has to put his left foot on a blue dot. They have to do it without taking there other feet or hands off the mat. At least that's the rules we used." "I bet Aunt Petunia could win that game." Helga said. The game seemed benign enough. At the very least Elvira thought it would tire them out. She said ok and a space was cleared. The game started off ok, with all four girls on the mat and Elvira spinning the arrow. Soon the mat was a twisted mass of young girls. Then Guinevere, reaching for a blue dot, brushed her hand against Polly's foot. The giggling started, and soon a full-scale tickle war was in progress. Elvira waded into the melee... "Not a very bright thing to do." Jeremy pointed out. The babysitter ignored him and went on. ... And got tripped. "Get her." Guinevere shouted. Eight little hands immediately roamed over her body, none more dangerous that her little sister, who knew where to tickle. Elvira fought to get up but it was no use. She was prepared to let the girls tire themselves out when she felt a familiar feeling come over her. Desperately she tried to escape, but it was too late. There was a tingling feeling on her skin, the world was lit by strobe lights, her cloths suddenly felt loose. Then it was over and a now miniature Elvira crawled out from under her cloths to the astonished stares of her charges. "I take it your sister was surprised." "No kidding." Elvira said. "What did they do?" Helga asked. "Well first I had a fun time explaining what was going on. Then I had to convince them I wasn't a toy. I'm telling you right now, nail polish is not meant for a girl six inches tall, and crayons aren't much fun either." Elvira shuddered. "Finally I spent the night modeling Malibu Stacy outfits. Got to sleep in her dream house and worked my way back to full size the next morning in the bathroom." "Tickling or masturbation?" Jeremy asked. "Masturbation." Elvira said blushing. "What did you tell your sister?" Helga asked. "I told her about you two, and that you're mad scientist, and that the effect wears off after a couple of hours." "Why not tell her the truth?" Jeremy entered some more data into the computer. "She's way to young." "We know." "But we're more advanced than normal children." Helga pointed out. "Advanced isn't the word I'd use." "When was the next time?" "Well after that night word was out." An ironic smile graced Elvira's face. "Within a week I was the most popular babysitter in town. A couple of parents even had a bidding war over me one night. My bank accounts never been so good. Every kid wanted to shrink me and play with their new doll." "And you thought we were unique." Jeremy said. "Wrong word kid, wrong word. " Elvira took a deep breath. "Well a week after the party Polly and her little brother got me. They threw a blanket over my head and kept tickling until I was small. After that I spent the next few hours trying to stay afloat in their bathtub. Had a dicey moment when Polly pulled the plug. "Then there was the delightful time I had with Mary's brother. He tied her up after I was shrunk and I had to recite lines from 'Peter Pan'. Two weeks later I was babysitting Danielle. She crawled under the couch and slapped two handcuffs on my ankles. Once I was small I spent an hour behind her radiator finding her lucky necklace, as well as two dollars in change, five baseball cards and a nice mouse named Jerry." "Did he say anything?" Helga asked. "I was making the last part up." Elvira told her. "Shouldn't do that." "Over the past few months nearly every kid in town has tried to shrink me." Elvira said, ignoring her. "A few have tried to take pictures too. Mary taped me down on her scanner and I was nearly sent out on the Internet. All I need is for some kid to give his parents proof and..." she paused, searching for the consequences. "Well I don't know, but I don't want it to happen." "Have you grown overly large at all?" Jeremy asked. "Once." Elvira said, blushing again. The only sound for a moment was the hum of the computer and the gurgle of chemicals. "Oh all right." Elvira said, giving way to the inevitable. "Teddy and I were making out after practice, we got a little hot and the next thing I know I'm giganta again." "He must have been very surprised." Jeremy said. "Not really. We were under a tree and when I grew I slammed him into it, knocked him out. By the time he came too I'd gotten myself back to normal size. Lucky we were near the practice rink so I had a spare set of cloths." "How did you manage to tickle yourself into shrinking again?" Helga asked. "Held my feet over a floor buffer set on low." "Inventive." Jeremy said. "How far did he get before you grew?" "What?" Jeremy leaned back, a thoughtful expression on his face. "Well were you actually..." "He was just feeling me up." Elvira exclaimed. "One hand on my breast. Satisfied?" "Left or right?" "Hand?" "Breast." "Right." "There is a pattern." Jeremy's fingers flew over the keyboard and the display changed to a different molecule. "What we have here is two distinct reactions to two separate stimuli. Possibly because you were exposed to two different forms of the serum. I think I can solve the problem, but I'll have to do some test." "Should I get some samples?" Helga asked, holding up a pair of pliers and hedge clippers. "No, for this we'll have to use the table." "Not that I'm going to like the answer to this," Elvira said, "but what table?" Jeremy operated a control and part of the floor in the center of the lab dropped away, taking a table full of experiments with it. There was a pause and then a new table rose from the floor. It was ten feet long, with a universal ball joint for a base. A slight humanoid depression lay in the center. Though big enough for a normal human, metal polls for arms and legs extended from the side. The gleaming chrome and black metal seemed to stare at her. "Just take your cloths off and lay down." Jeremy said. "We'll do the rest." "Trust us." Helga said. Brother and sister smiled at her. {Will Elvira be cured? Once they get her onto the table will they even try? Stay tuned.] *********** Elvira Peterson and the Witch's kids Episode seven: The Return of Uncle Frank Returning to Clarion Mansion to seek a cure for her tickle/orgasmic induced shrinking and growing, Elvira is now faced with the table. (c)1998 by Skytower "I can't believe I'm doing this." Elvira said, kicking off her sneakers. She was in the Lab, a converted cellar (dungeons more like it, she thought) in Clarion Mansion. Around her the regular lab noises continued. Chemicals simmered and boiled various gears and levers ground their way through eternity. In front of her was a large table, mounted on a universal ball joint. Unbuckling her belt the babysitter pulled down her pants and handed them to Helga. "To solve a problem you need data." Jeremy said, sitting at a large computer console. His cherubic face was completely serious, though his green eyes seemed to crackle as Elvira pulled her sweater over her head. Underneath it she wore a blue one-piece teddy with lace edging. It showed off a slight figure, with wide hips and small breast. Handing her cloths to Helga the young girl jumped onto the table. "That's it?" Helga asked. "That's all this time." Elvira said, lying back. "Why the modesty?" Jeremy asked, starting to work with the computer. "We've seen you naked before. In fact we've wrestled while you were naked." "So live with the memory." "Very well." There was a slight whirring sound and a metal ball descended from the shadows. Elvira swore and launched herself from the table. "What's wrong?" Helga asked. "Is the table cold?" "What the hells that?" "It's a sensor array." Jeremy said. "Oh." Elvira looked at the ball. It was about two feet in diameter, with nearly a thousand (or so it seemed) antenna of various shapes and sizes. "It looks like the thing Darth Vader used to torture Princess Leia." "It's quite harmless." Jeremy said. I've heard that before, Elvira thought. Unconvinced she got on the table and laid back. "Beginning scan." Jeremy announced. "I'll activate the remote viewer so you can see." A screen in the shadows above the table came to life and Elvira saw herself. Slowly it changed, first showing her, then showing her muscles, organs, bones and finally reversing itself. "Nothing." "Unless you count the pizza she had for lunch." Helga pointed out. "I can't believe you had garlic, mushroom, pepperoni and anchovies." So sayeth the ghoulish gormea, Elvira thought. "Let us think this through." Jeremy said, leaning back. "Elvira, can you remember exactly where the first shrinking potion hit your body?" "Right here." Elvira ran her hand across her chest. "When you shot me with the super soaker." The young scientist adjusted a control and the ball dropped lower. On the screen Elvira's breast tripled in size, then turned transparent. "Still nothing." "Try cellular resolution." Helga suggested. Jeremy adjusted again and the view of Elvira's breast zoomed in until the skin seemed to part and layers of skin, crisscrossed with light hair could be seen. Then the hair vanished and the view became one of overlapping layers of round translucent ovals. The image was fuzzy, slightly out of focus. For a few minutes they said nothing as he re-adjusted the controls. "You'll have to take the underwear off." Jeremy said, finally. "The scanner can't handled the fabric." Sighing with frustration Elvira reached up and pulled the top of her teddy down. Her breast broke free, the accentuated nipples stiffening in the cool air of the lab. The change in the scan was immediate, and to the babysitter meaningless. It was clear, but Elvira had no idea what she was looking at. "Still nothing." Jeremy said. "No." Helga adjusted the scanner and it moved until it was focused on a small sac. "Check out the spectrum on the sweat gland." "Your right." Jeremy once again adjusted the scan. Soon the image of a small machine could be seen hanging on the gland. "What the hell is that thing?" Elvira asked, sitting up. "A nanite." Helga said. "A small..." "Yea I know, I saw that Star Trek episode. How the hell did it get into me?" "It was in the potion." Jeremy said. "That's how the growth and shrinking effects work. The nanites generate a field that compresses or expands you body structure." "I thought it was magic." "The second potion was magic." Jeremy said. "Unstable if you'll remember. I abandoned it when I was unable to stabilize the side effects." "What side effects?" "Increased sexual appetite, slight weight loss and a desire to rule the world. You haven't had any of those have you?" "Not yet." Exasperated Elvira lay back down. Growing and shrinking had been enough to handle what if she suddenly wanted to take over the world? What would she do with it if she got it? "The first potion was just a carrier for the nanites. I realized that in a liquid carrier they could go through clothing and soak into the skin. But they should have deactivated after the first few days." "They? How many of these things are in me?" "I'll have to scan to see." Jeremy said. "And I will have to do it without interference." "Oh hell." Elvira said, pulling the rest of her teddy off she dropped it on the floor. Completely naked she closed her eyes and willed them not to say anything. I wonder if centerfolds feel this way, she thought. "Same as before." Jeremy remarked, starting to tap out commands on the keyboard. "No, she's had a trim since then." Helga said. Why didn't I let Aunt Petunia eat me when I had the chance, Elvira wondered? She shuddered as she thought of a thousand little machines inhabiting her body. Suddenly metal straps erupted from the table. They encircled her ankles, knees, waste and wrist. "Hey!" Elvira shouted, struggling. For a few moments she strained every muscle in her body, but remained trapped. "I need you to keep still." Jeremy said. "Besides it's more fun this way." Helga added. "It lives up to the image. "Perverted twins." Elvira muttered. "Yes." A voice from nowhere said. "Aren't they?" "Huh?" Suddenly Helga stiffened, and a white cloth out of the blue appeared around her face. She struggled, but in a few moments was unconscious. "Uncle Frank!" Jeremy shouted. Before he could do anything the white cloth appeared around his face. "Let me out of this thing!" Elvira screeched. But it was too late. Jeremy and Helga were slumped on the floor, completely out. She lay on the table helpless, looking around desperately for any sign of the Invisible Tickler. There was nothing not a sound. Something light brushed across the soul of her feet. Elvira laughed, despite her efforts. Nothing happened for a few moments and she braced herself, tightening every muscle. Something tickled under her arms, at the same time something started to brush lightly across her left nipple. For a minute Elvira was able to keep control, then she burst out laughing. "Receptive as always." Uncle Frank said, keeping up the stimulation. "But this is hardly the perfect place." The white cloth appeared and Elvira laughed her way to sleep. * Elvira woke up struggling like a fish in a net. Like coming out of a nightmare she willed her limbs to move, but they were held in place. Opening her eyes the babysitter realized she was in her room. Lying on her large four poster bed. Elvira looked around, but saw nothing. "What am I looking for, " she muttered, "he's invisible." "Are you awake?" A voice from somewhere near he stomach asked. "Yea, wide awake." "Good." Suddenly Elvira started to move. She sat up, her body responding to commands other than her own. Elvira looked down and saw that she was in some sort of leather harness. Straps were around her body at the wrist, elbows, waste and legs. "I shall alert Uncle Frank." "Ok. " Was the voice asking her or telling her? Stiffly she moved across the room to a silken cord that hung next to the door. Elvira's arm reached up, her hand took the cord and pulled. Then the hand released the cord and suddenly she could move freely. Quickly she moved her hands to the buckles, only to have her fingers refuse to move when they got to them. "Sorry, but I can't let you release yourself," the voice said. "but I can allow a small amount of self commanded movement." "Who are you?" "I am Benny, your bondage suit." The voice was chipper, friendly, almost Disney like. "Oh." "If you'd like to take a good look we can go in and see us in the bathroom mirror." "Sure." Wonderful thing about shrinking a lot, Elvira pondered as her body walked, through no will of hers, into the bathroom, it makes ya hard to rattle. What she saw in the bathroom mirror rattled her anyway. She was still naked, but that she knew. Encircling her arms and legs were small leather straps, interconnected by a network of thinner strips of leather. The straps formed a cone around each of her breast, and covering the nipples were two glass eyes. Directly below her breast was a large leather patch. On the patch were a nose and a mouth. Every strap in the suit met at the patch. Around her throat a small ball hung loosely. One of the glass eyes winked at her. "Benny." she said, her voice completely numb. "How do you do. I hope to make your captivity as pleasant as possible. In me you have the ultimate in bondage gear, polite, flexible, and completely escape proof. You are utterly helpless in my grasp. "Yea!" Elvira gave a mock cheer. Benny was every telephone sales person she had ever talked to. He made it sound so natural, so right, that she be his(?) prisoner. "I also think I enhance your appearance, since I am designed to make breast look bigger, leg muscles more firm and slim your hips." Elvira was about to respond, though she had no idea what she was going to say, when another voice was heard. "Benny." Uncle Frank called. Instantly Elvira found herself walking back into the bedroom. A small pushcart was waiting by the bed. Above it a small feather hung in mid air. "Just set her down on the bed." Frank said. His voice held a slight tremor a lilt that nearly broke through every few seconds. Elvira was moved to the bed and forced to lay down. Uncle Frank took hold of her ankles and moved them over the edge. Then a strange contraption was pulled out of the cart. It was a small wood frame, with two rings in the center that fit over her ankles. From the frame ten small cords hung, at the end of each was a woven fabric tube. Uncle Frank attached each of the tubes to one of Elvira's toes. It was when he pulled them taunt that she realized they were miniature Chinese finger traps. He adjusted a knob on the frame and her toes her pulled up and away from each other. A small bar with two rings was attached to either of her big toes, holding them apart and rigid. The babysitter swallowed as she realized how vulnerable her feet were. The next thing to come out of the tray confused her. It was a portable tape player. Uncle Frank put it on the floor and then produced a large feather. "Let's warm up a little shall we." The feather glided across the soul of her foot and Elvira started to giggle. He kept this up for a few minutes, then moved on. When he started to tickle the space between her toes Elvira nearly jumped off the bed, despite Benny. She had never realized how ticklish she was there. It only took a few strokes of the feather for her to laugh so hard tears come to her eyes. Uncle Frank pulled back and let her laughter play itself out. "I think we're ready." he said. They were both surprised when the doorbell rang. "Who would dare interrupt me now?" Uncle Frank raved. "Are you expecting anyone?" "Are you kidding? I tell all my friends to stay away from this place." "Well we shall soon see. Benny, a gag if you please." Before Elvira could react the ball that hung around her throat stuffed itself into her mouth. "Whammmmph!" was all she managed to get out. "Now to deal with the interloper." Please let it be a swat team, Elvira prayed. End. {Our heroine is helpless, what could be worse? Who could be at the door? She'll find out soon} **************** Elvira Peterson and the Witch's kids Episode one: Stereo Tickling By Skytower Having returned to Clarion Mansion to find a cure for her orgasmicly induced shrinking and growing, Elvira now finds herself a captive of Uncle Frank, the Invisible Tickler. Now, strapped into Benny the Bondage Suit, her feet in the tickling frame, Elvira waits for the tickle torture to begin. (c)1998 by Skytower The room was old, grand in feeling and style. It was the type of room that an Edwardian lady might have occupied. Large bay windows framed the night sky. High ceilings with elaborate moldings added elegance. There was a dresser and wardrobe, both of the best New England oak. A large four-post bed stood in the center of the room. Also of oak it was canopied and in another era was the place a dignified lady might have talked with her maid. Elvira Peterson had never had a maid, and seldom in her life had she been called a lady. But even less in her life had she been in the position she was in. She lay nude on the bed. Trapped by the collection of leather straps that was Benny the Bondage suit. Benny, a cheerful, perky suit as bondage suits go, had complete control over the babysitter's movements. His nose and mouth rested over her belly button, his eyes toped the conical straps that encased her breast. Her feet were further trapped in a tickling frame, the toes held apart by an ingenious use of Chinese finger traps. She shifted a little bit, trying to get comfortable. Elvira was a little over five feet tall, with a slim figure. She had wide hips and small but full breast. A ball gag was stuffed into her mouth, making her nose look a little larger than normal. Unable to move her body, Elvira's brown eyes traveled about the room. It had been ten minutes since Uncle Frank, the invisible tickler, had gone to see who was at the front door. Ten minutes of sheer torture for the young babysitter. Sooner or later he was going to come back, and the tickling would start again. Like all unpleasant experiences it was the anticipation that was hardest to endure. If I could just masturbate, she thought. For anyone else the wish wouldn't have made sense, but for Elvira sexual ecstasy was a way of escape. Exposed to an unstable shrinking potion Elvira could now shrink, when she was tickled enough, or grow if she was experiencing an orgasm. Shrinking would put her even more at Uncle Frank's mercy, if that were possible. Growing would free her, though it might destroy Benny. Elvira heard a sound from the hallway and watched as the door was thrown open. A young woman wearing a bright flower pattern dress, brown boots, and a fur parka floated into the room. She presented a comical sight, flailing away in mid-air at the unseen Uncle. "Elvira!" she called. Mindy, Elvira thought. Just perfect, it would have to be her. Not that she didn't like Mindy. Mindy McConnel was her best friend. A talented artist and pretty good goaltender, the young blonde had the one attribute that made her the worst person to show up at Clarion Mansion. She was very ticklish. That fact was proven over the next few minutes as the battle continued. Mindy's parka was torn off, revealing a brown turtle neck sweater. The young girl was going crazy, shouting for Elvira's help while flailing away at her unseen assailant. Then Elvira saw something pulled out of Uncle Frank's cart. It was stuffed down the back of Mindy's sweater and instantly she went berserk trying to get at it. Screeching she put both hands behind her back, where a pair of manacles soon trapped them. She was then tripped to the bed where her boots were pulled off and her feet tied to the bedpost. "Lot of help you were!" Mindy swore, struggling. "It's not her fault." Benny the Bondage suit said. The sight of a talking belt buckle stunned the blonde into silence. "You see as long as she is wearing me I can control her movements." "What the hell..." "It's true my dear." Uncle Frank said. "But now that you no longer need to be warned I can allow her to talk. Benny, un-gag her." The ball gag popped out of Elvira's mouth. "Elvira what's going on?" "We've been captured by Uncle Frank, who is invisible and loves to tickle people." "Oh." The expression on Mindy's face, her normally calm hazel eyes wild with fright was a surprise to Elvira. Mindy had always been the calmest when faced with danger. Neither drug dealers nor aliens had phased her that much. She drew her full lips into a tight line, the perfect nose flared with excitement. "Tickle?" she asked. "Yup." Elvira realized why her friend was scared. One of Mindy's ankles was untied and pulled even with Elvira's. Then it was tied securely and the other one was untied and retied in the same position. "This is not happening." Mindy said, her voice trembling. "Haven't I told everyone never to come on one of my babysitting jobs?" Elvira asked. "What are you doing here?" "I thought you could use the help." Mindy protested. "And besides...HEY!" Uncle Frank ignored her protest and pulled her sweater up under her arms, revealing her bra. Then the bra itself was push up and Mindy's breasts were freed. "Pervert!" she shouted squirming in her bonds. "Pervert?" Uncle Frank asked sounding hurt. "She didn't mean it." Elvira said. "Tell him you didn't mean it." "The hell I didn't." A feather floated up out of Uncle Frank's cart and started to stroke the sole of her foot. Mindy had no defense she started to laugh. "Pervert?" Uncle Frank asked again his voice cold. "She meant fun guy." "Friendly." Mindy gasped out between laughs. "Inventive." Elvira shouted. That did the trick and the feather was removed. "Word of advice," Elvira said as her friend caught her breath, "don't insult the guy who has you tied up." Mindy nodded, her chest heaving up and down. Elvira could sympathize with her reaction. Mindy was a bit sensitive about her breast. They were extra large, somewhat conically shaped, with huge red aureoles. Despite all her exercising they were not firm and tended to flop around when she moved. That they were in proportion with the rest of her body, Mindy was tall and well built thanks to hours in the gym, was something most people ignored. Many times Mindy had complained to Elvira that people didn't see her, just two large breasts with legs. "I thought you could use the help." Mindy said again. "I warned you about this place." "You never warned me about him!" "What was I gonna do, tell you an invisible guy was running around tickling people?" "All you said was some weird kids drugged you and..." "Ladies." Uncle Frank interrupted. It was said gently but it got their attention. "If you don't stop arguing I'll gag you both. Now Mindy I think you took your friends wishes too lightly. Elvira I think you should have told her the entire story." "Not everything." "Everything, including your little fling with Petunia." "Petunia?" "She can tell you later." Uncle Frank said. From the cart he produced another tickling device. This one was a straight bar, supporting to hollow cones near it's center. A strap was attached to the cones. From the end of each bar a smaller bar ran perpendicular, with a small brush attached. A set of gears ran from each brush up to the main bar, connecting to a longer bar that reached to the end of the bed. "Suffice it to say that I am not the only one in this mansion who likes to tickle." "You are now." Elvira said. "The kids told me that Aunt Petunia's in some special home." "And you believed them?" "Oh no." "Who's Aunt Petunia?" Mindy asked. "She's a half human, half spider, lesbian maniac who nearly ate Jeremy and Helga." "What?" "She was their babysitter before Elvira." Uncle Frank explained, setting the device on Mindy's chest. "Helga mutated her into a half spider, and Master Jeremy shrunk her to the size of an insect." Running the straps around her back he secured the device to her chest. The invisible uncle then pulled the long bar back and forth. The brushes rotated stroking Mindy's sides. In response she giggled. "Perfect." he announced. "A masterpiece." Elvira agreed. "And this Petunia thing is still around?" "It's not something you have to worry about." Elvira said. "She's only about five inches tall." "What a relief." "Tell me girls," Uncle Frank reached over and turned on the tape machine, "have you ever been intrigued by the musical possibilities of tickling?" The opening cords of; "Rock around the clock" began to play. And so did Uncle Frank. Even while she was laughing harder than she had ever laughed before, Elvira couldn't help but be impressed by his skill. Mindy and herself were both kept laughing in perfect time to the music. In fact somehow Uncle Frank seemed to know how to tweak Mindy more during the low notes, taking advantage of her deep throaty laugh. The direct contrast was Elvira's own high-pitched combination of cackle and shriek, perfect for the high notes. Through "Rock around the clock", "We are the Champions" and a classical piece Elvira had no hope of identifying, Uncle Frank kept them laughing. Laughing, but not to the point where Elvira could shrink. She was amazed at his skill level, always keeping them just on the edge, but pulling back. Finally he paused to put a new tape in the machine. Elvira and Mindy lay on the bed covered in sweat and gasping for breath. Exhausted. Even so the babysitter managed to cry out as she recognized the new tune. Mindy knew it as well and both girls shuddered as the sounds of the 1812 overture began to fill the room. There was no stopping it this time. Elvira laughed so hard, so long that she could feel the bed beneath them shake. Just as the overture reached it's crescendo she shrunk. "Thank you Jeremy." Elvira whispered, getting her breath back. Getting unsteadily to her feet Elvira realized the music had stopped. There was no movement in the room save for the sound of Mindy gasping for breath. "Elvira?" Mindy called. "Where are you?" "Down here." she replied, starting the climb the tickling harness around Mindy's chest. She reached the top and balanced her self between her friend's breast. There was no sign of Uncle Frank. "Wow!" Mindy let out the word in one long sigh of amazement. "This is why I didn't want you to come." Elvira said. "Your little sister wasn't telling a story." "Nope. This is me, the amazing shrinking babysitter." "How does it feel?" "How the hell do you think if feels?" Elvira snapped, sitting down she lay back against Mindy's right breast. "It feels small." "Well, can you... I mean are you stuck..." "No, I can grow again." Elvira stood up. "But first things first, let me see if I can get you out of this thing." "What happened to Uncle Frank?" "He's been immobilized." Jeremy said, appearing from nowhere. Beside him Helga blinked into existence as well. "Thankfully I was able to get my new teleporter working and he's down in the dungeon. Mother can deal with him when she gets home." "Teleporter?" Mindy echoed. "Mindy this is Jeremy and Helga Carrion. Jeremy, Helga, this is Mindy McConnel." "Hello." Helga said. "Impressive chest." Jeremy said by way of greeting. Reaching over he picked up Elvira and put her on the edge of the bed. Then he started to undo Uncle Frank's tickling device. At the same time Helga untied Mindy's legs. "Watch the hands." Mindy protested as the device was lifted off of her chest. "Don't push your luck Mindy." Elvira called. "Your hands are still tied. "No need to worry." Jeremy said, freeing her hands. "A single instance of touch and sight is enough to satisfy me." "Sorry." Mindy said, though she immediately fixed her bra and shirt. "Was there any change in the shrinking experience this time?" Jeremy asked, turning to Elvira. "It was a little faster." Elvira said. "Here." Helga said, handing Mindy a glass. "You must be thirsty after all that laughing." "Thanks." Mindy said, taking the glass. "Your no smaller." Jeremy observed, looking at her closely. "No." Elvira replied. There was something wrong though, something... For a few moments her mind refused to work. Then she saw Mindy's throat move as she swallowed the drink. "Mindy no!" she shouted. "Huh?" her friend finished the glass and handed it to Helga. "What do you..." Her voice faltered and a strange look came over her face. Mindy's body trembled as the potion took hold. {But what potion did Helga give her? Is Mindy doomed to the same microscopic existence as Elvira? Only time will tell. A lot of time as I have things to do.} ************** Elvira Peterson and the Witch's kids Episode nine: Interlude By Skytower Elvira Peterson and her best friend Mindy McConnell have just been freed from Uncle Frank's tickling machine. Uncle Frank, an invisible fellow who loves to tickle, had been practicing his musical tickling and had just finished the 1812 overture when he was teleported away. Moments later Jeremy and Helga Carrion appear in the room, Jeremy explained that he had a new teleporter that whisked Uncle Frank away. He picks up a now miniaturized Elvira (when tickled into an orgasm Elvira shrinks) and puts her on the edge of the bed while Helga has frees Mindy. Helga then hands Mindy a drink... (c)1999 Skytower "Here." Helga said, handing Mindy a glass. "You must be thirsty after all that laughing." "Thanks." Mindy said, taking the glass. "Your no smaller." Jeremy observed, looking at Elvira closely. "No visible mutations." "No." Elvira replied. She still had the same body, small breast, wide hips and brown hair. There was something wrong though, something... For a few moments her mind refused to work. Then she saw Mindy's throat move as she swallowed the drink. "Mindy no!" she shouted. "Huh?" her friend finished the glass and handed it to Helga. "What do you..." Her voice faltered and a strange look came over her face. Mindy's body trembled as the potion took hold. For a moment her body glowed with a violet hue. Then she started to shrink. Elvira had never watched anyone shrink, but after being shrunk many times herself she could guess what Mindy was going through. First you get hot, then suddenly chilly. Then your cloths (if you're wearing any) get loose. The cloths get looser and suddenly a lot heavier. Without warning your thrust inside a circus tent that's collapsing. Then it's over and you feel lightheaded. "Help!" Mindy's voice, normally calm and even, now high pitched and hysterical penetrated her cloths. The flowered skirt she was wearing showed her progress as she plowed her way to the waist. When she burst out of the skirt Mindy kept on going. Elvira watched in complete amazement as her friend flew straight up using brand new wings. Mindy was normally a tall blonde with a great figure, now she still had the figure, but it was a lot smaller. Wings beating furiously, blonde hair scattering in the wind like lightning Mindy flew straight up. And up, and up and up. Only the ceiling stopped the newly born fairy. With a sickening thud she slammed into it, then spiraled down. "I got her!" Jeremy shouted, jumping on the bed. "No I got her!" Helga shouted, also jumping on the bed. "She's my experiment!" Elvira gave a shout of her own as she desperately tried to get off the bed before either of the twins stepped or fell on her. Running across a bed when you're only a few inches tall is like running across a trampoline. She had almost made it to the relative safety of the pillows when Mindy's scream caused her to look back. Elvira half turned in time to see Mindy miss Jeremy and Helga altogether and come straight toward her. At the last second Elvira braced herself, her toes digging into the sheets. Waving her arms frantically Mindy hit her friend in the stomach. The mutated girls momentum picked Elvira up and pushed her over the edge of the bed. Elvira tried to hang on while they fell, but lost her grip. She landed on a pillow that had been knocked onto the floor. A second later Mindy landed on top of her. "Good tackle." Elvira muttered, trying to get her breath back. "Good catch." Jeremy remarked as he picked up the pillow and put it on the bed. Growling Elvira rolled her friend off of her and struggled to her feet. "Helga what the hell did you give her?" "My sorcery project, the one from the lab." "Why?" Elvira nearly shrieked. "Well Jeremy experimented on you." Helga said, as if that explained everything. Elvira took a deep breath, sputtered for a moment and then took another one. "So?" she finally asked. "Well it was my turn." Mindy moaned as she sat up, distracting Elvira from the string of profanities she was about to launch. "I had to test it on Someone." "El....?" "Calm down." Elvira said, helping her sit up. "Why, what...?" Mindy trailed off as she looked around, her eyes taking it all in. Slowly she stood. "Welcome to my world." "I'm shrunk?" "You're not just shrunk." Helga said, bending down to look at her. "My potion caused a full body change complete with natural flying instinct." "Flying?" Mindy asked. Her wings vibrated as she spoke. Dumbfounded the young girl looked at the dragonfly type wings, then raised them, and then lowered them again. She looked at her hands, and for the first time Elvira realized that both Mindy's hands and feet had been changed as well. The fingers and toes were each longer now and each had more joints than before. "You should also have some sort of radar for night flying." Helga said. "But I guess the antenna grow later." "Antennae." Jeremy corrected her. "They were for extra credit." "Wow." Mindy said, flapping her wings. Slowly she rose into the air and hovered. "This is so cool!" "Whoa girl." Elvira said, grabbing Mindy's legs she pulled her friend down to the pillow. Another thing she noted was that Mindy's breast, though still large, didn't flop around as they used too. "Come down to Earth for a minute. Don't you realize that to every spider on the planet you're a full course dinner? A banquet even!" "I'm not dumb enough to get caught in a web." Mindy said, ascending again. She started to fly around the room. "El this is great!" "Oh yea. Whoopee." For the next few minutes Elvira, Jeremy and Helga watched as Mind tested out her new wings. Elvira tried to control her jealousy, remembering how she had had to run, climb and scamper when she had first been shrunk. But then Mindy was the one who watched Babylon 5, read fantasy and generally liked that sort of thing. Mindy had always told Elvira that her fondest wish was to get abducted by aliens. Again. "Good control." Jeremy said. "I worked on it a lot, didn't want her crashing into a fan or something." "Great." Elvira said, sitting down on the pillow. "She's a A and I'm a D +." "She was exposed to the correct dosage," Jeremy said, a hurt tone to his voice, "not an unstable potion." "Sorry." Elvira said. Mindy let out a low moan and suddenly came down in a strong spiral, crashing into the pillow, a pained look on her face. "They hurt." she said. "My wings hurt!" "You flew too hard." Helga said. "They are only a few minutes old you know." "But my breast hurt too." the girl said, hugging her chest. "Well I had to put the muscles for your wings somewhere." Mindy's jaw dropped and she slowly felt her breast, her fingers kneading them. Then she looked in amazement at her new fingers. "Most of your internal organs were indispensable, but your breast were pretty much wasted space." "Clever." Jeremy said. "Did you strengthen the rib cage as well?" "Redesigned it completely." Helga said. "What did you do to me?" Mindy screamed she would have charged them if Elvira hadn't held her back. "You seemed happy a moment ago." Jeremy said. "Yea... Well..." "Enough!" Elvira said, her voice silencing them all. "Ok Helga you've got an A on the project. Now where's the antidote?" Helga's reply was not unexpected on Elvira's part, but it caused Mindy to faint. "What antidote?" "Strange girl." Jeremy said, putting Mindy down on the table beside Elvira. They were in the lab, Mindy still out cold. "Does she faint often?" "Only when she gets mutated." "The proper word is transformed." Helga said, opening a notebook. "Sorry." Elvira sighed wondering how many other babysitters went through this sort of thing. At her feet Mindy moaned. "Get some water huh guys." "Goaltender interference!" Mindy cursed, slowly opening her eyes. It was what she usually said after a bad game, or if she was feeling lousy. Once she had yelled it at a geometry teacher after he gave her a failing grade. In the next instant her eyes opened wide. "Like I said before, welcome to my world." "Funny." Mindy said, standing up. She looked around. The lab was in one of the basements of the Carrion Mansion. Elvira suspected it had once been a dungeon, even though turn of the century Victorian mansions didn't have dungeons. Large stone blocks held up a vaulted ceiling. Harsh fluorescent work lights, making the shadows gray, yet still deep and threatening lighted the room. Tables with bubbling chemicals or strange looking scientific instruments filled the room. "Aren't there any cloths in your world?" Mindy asked, covering herself as best she could with her hands. She jumped as her wings folded around from her back. Instantly the wings snapped back to their normal position. "Here you go." Jeremy said, putting a glass of water in front of them. The glass was normal sized. "Cute." Elvira said. "What am I supposed to do, bathe in it?" Mindy asked. "You're not handling this well." Jeremy said. "Elvira was a lot calmer." "I'd been softened up by the magic feather." Elvira said, leaning against a large book." "Elvira don't joke." Mindy demanded. "I hate it when you joke in these situations. Bad enough that you get me tickled for hours, then..." "I got you tickled? Me?" "You could have warned me about this place." "I did warn you!" "Excuse me." Helga asked coming over to them, notebook in hand. She had thrown a lab coat over her jumper. Jeremy shrugged and walked away. "Like hell you warned me!" Mindy shouted. "All you said was: "their weird"." "Excuse me." Helga asked again. "Nowhere in your statement were the words: "shrink", with each word Mindy started to poke her friend, "tickle" poke "mutate", she spread both her arms wide "or naked!" "I told you." Elvira said, poking her back. "I said: "Dangerous" poke "insane" poke "chest happy!" with the last word she hit both of Mindy's breast with her palms. With an enraged growl the two shrunken girls charged each other, only to be picked up by Helga and dropped into the glass of water. They sank, then climbed sputtering to the surface, glaring at her. "Do you two really think that fighting is constructive?" "Shut up and give me the antidote." Mindy snapped, climbing out of the glass. Elvira stayed in, resting her arms on the side. Some things, she reflected silently, Mindy would just have to learn for herself. With a hurt look on her face Helga turned and stomped away from the table. "What's with her?" Mindy asked. "You shouted at her." Elvira said. "I shouted at her? She turns me into Tinkerbelle and I don't get to shout at her?" "Not as long as she has the antidote and you don't." Elvira leaned back and put her hands behind her head. "Didn't calling Uncle Frank names teach you anything?" "Your enjoying this aren't you?" "Yea." As a matter of fact she was. Elvira wasn't sure why, but for some reason having her best friend shrunk as well made her own predicament more acceptable. "It's nice to know I'm not the only one they can mutate." "Transform." Helga called over to them. "Whatever. Hey Jeremy." Elvira called. "How about a towel?" "I have more than that." Jeremy said. Walking over to the table he reached down and pulled out a bag. "When we learned that you were coming Mother insisted I buy you this just in case." Reaching into the bag he pulled out a Malibu Stacy outfit. "I picked this up at a yard sale." "The seventies live." Elvira said, crawling out of the glass. The outfit was the right height, but the style evoked images of Marcia Brady. White blouse with puffy long sleeves, short skirt with wide white leather belt and white go-go boots. Still it was something. Jeremy put a dry washcloth on the table and watched as the babysitter dried herself. "It doesn't bother you that he's watching?" Mindy asked, exasperation creeping into her voice. She had crossed her arms in front of her chest. "You get shrunk and stripped enough times you get used to it." Elvira replied, struggling into the skirt. There was no underwear, but she could live with that. "Besides he's staring at you." "She's right." Jeremy said. "Your form is far more pleasing." "Creep." Mindy started to say but bit the word off quickly. Instead she felt herself blushing and suddenly her wings wrapped around and covered her. This time they stayed. "Do you have any more outfits?" "Sorry but I didn't know you were coming. I only bought that one for Elvira because Mother reminded me how loudly she complained about not having cloths the last time. I suppose you can have them when she grows again." "I don't want to wait until morning." "Oh, it shouldn't take her that long." A beeping noise from the computer called for his attention and Jeremy walked over to it. "What did he mean by that?" "It's kinda embarrassing." Elvira said, at last getting the go-go boots on. "When I babysat for Polly she said the effect of the shrinking potion wears off after a few hours." "Yea, well I lied to her." Elvira was silent for a few moments, her face turning scarlet. Finally she spoke, stumbling over the words. "If I get tickled really hard I get an orgasm and shrink. The only way to get big again is have another orgasm." "So she has to masturbate her way to full size." Helga said, standing over them with a clipboard. She put a ruler next to the stunned Mindy. "You mean if you want to grow..." "I've got to make myself very, very happy." Elvira snapped. "Do I have too..." "Ask her." "Helga." Mindy asked in her sweetest voice. "Do I have to... do what Elvira does to get to full size again?" Helga shrugged. "It's not something I planned on, but if you want you can give it a try." She made a note on the clipboard and walked away. "I have it!" Jeremy announced. "The cure?" Elvira asked hopefully. "No, the reason." Jeremy walked over and picked up her up, carrying her to the console. Intrigued Mindy flew after them. On the screen was a dizzying myriad of scientific equations. "This makes it simple." "Clear as glass." Elvira agreed. "Explain it to Mindy though, will ya." Mindy gave Elvira a dirty look as she landed beside her. "Well my original nanite design was perfect, but I included an organic neural processor so they could link and feed each other data. That way there would be no uneven growth or shrinking. I didn't want your arm to stay normal size while the rest of you shrunk." Elvira shuddered. Jeremy meanwhile hit a few of the keys and the image changed from equations to a diagram of the nanite. A small evil looking spider-like machine with the letter "J" on it's back. "But the organic part of the unstable shrinking potion, I think it was probably the bat livers..." "I soaked in bat livers?" "Among other things. At any rate the shrinking potion mutated the nanites, causing them to link into your sexual pleasure center." "Why there?" Mindy asked. "Well another one of the ingredients..." "Never mind." Elvira interrupted. "Get to the cure part." "I think I can introduce another set of nanites into your body to fix the broken ones." "More nanites?" Elvira said. "It is the only way." "Ok." Elvira said abruptly. "Your gonna let him try?" "Mindy I have to get this under control. Sooner or later some kids gonna tickle me and I won't make it back before the parents get home. Then where will I be?" "Where will you be?" Mindy asked. "Where will WE be?" "Your starting to get the idea aren't you?" "If they can't get me back to normal..." Mindy shuddered and went white. "They can do it." Elvira said. She started to put her arm around Mindy's shoulders, but stopped as the wings got in the way, and settle for patting her friend on the shoulder. "Trust me, this is what they do." "Alright." Jeremy picked Elvira up and put her in the center of a large platform. "I'll use the teleporter to get one of the nanites out of you for a moment, then I can scan it and program the repair nanite." "Why not just teleport them all out of me?" "There are approximately 85000 in your system. Too many for the machine to handle." "85000. Swell. Good thing I don't go through metal detectors that often." "They are not made of metal. Helga, your assistance please?" "What about my cure?" Mindy protested. "I sent an email to my professor." Helga said, walking over to them. "He'll get back to me." "Activating targeting system." Jeremy said, pushing a button. "Sub-space field ok." Helga said, operating another part of the console. Mindy flew up quickly to avoid them. This is like being in a dentist chair waiting for the novocaine, Elvira thought. She waited tensely for the pain to start, wondering if the nanite they were going for might rebel at the last minute and explode. "Targeting locked." Jeremy said. "Teleporting." Elvira felt her body start to tingle, reminding her of the time she'd been stuck in quicksand. "Trouble." Helga said. Elvira's heart dropped into her stomach, if there was one word she didn't want to hear... "Interference in the carrier wave." Jeremy said. He didn't sound worried, but the babysitter knew that when Jeremy didn't sound worried it was time for HER to worry. Elvira desperately tried to move or shout but her body stayed frozen. The tingling got worse quickly. The room around her started to fade in and out like an old movie. She could see Helga and Jeremy now desperately working on the controls. For a moment the lab snapped back to normal, then it vanished altogether. End. Where has Elvira gone? Is she still in one piece? Will Mindy ever loose her wings? If not will she have to wear a halter for the rest of her life? Some of these questions might be answered in the next chapter. *************** Elvira Peterson and the Witch's kids Episode ten: Right Place, Wrong Time, Wrong Size By Skytower Seeking to find a cure for her unstable growing and shrinking Elvira Peterson had gone to the two children responsible for her plight, Jeremy and Helga Carrion. Jeremy tracked the problem to malfunctioning Nanites that were still in Elvira's body. He proposed telleporting one of the nanites out, fixing it and then putting it back in to fix the others. But just as the telleportation process began something went wrong and Elvira, still shrunk, vanished. (c)1998 Skytower Reality enveloped Elvira with silence. For a moment the shrunken babysitter hung suspended in mid-air, then she fell. The first thing Elvira did after she got air into her lungs was to thrust that air out again, using it as power for a full power scream. No sound was heard. Elvira hit the floor before she could scream again. She lay there for a moment, the breath knocked out of her. Then something huge and black landed beside her. Panicked Elvira ran, bumping into things both solid and soft. For one of the few times in her life the young girl new nothing but blind terror. It was the fear of a pure nightmare, she had to get away, run... hide. A flash of light froze her in place. She stood staring at the skull shaped castle before her. It was a castle from her darkest dreams. Ivory white teeth with glowing green moss formed the main gate. The stones that made up the walls were smooth and dark. So dark they seemed to draw her soul into them. For a few minutes the babysitter stood perfectly still, paralyzed with fear. Gradually her eyes adjusted to the dim light. The anxiety faded. A few more flashes of what she now realized was lightning lit up the room. The skull shaped castle turned out to be a model. She recognized it, Castle Death from the TV show Death Whisper (a Saturday morning show she watched, (and taped) but always denied watching). Elvira realized she was in a girl's room. A room for two girls, judging from the two beds and toys scattered about. She wasn't alone. Someone else had teleported in with her. The person was too tall and thin to be Jeremy or Helga. In the dim light Elvira saw a girl, perhaps her own age, wearing a baggy shirt and pleated skirt. At her foot was a bag. The unknown girl had stood still for as long as Elvira, but now she reached into the bag and pulled out a flashlight. It snapped on silently and a beam of light moved across the room. Elvira froze as the light hit her. But she was wearing a white blouse with long sleeves, short white skirt with a wide blue leather belt and white go-go boots. It was a leftover Malibu Stacy outfit and it did make her look like a doll. The rest of Elvira was normal looking of course, with brown eyes, high forehead and slight but pleasing figure. The beam passed over her, moved across the rest of the room, revealing little of importance. The girl in the skirt shut off the flashlight and put it into the bag. Then she took something else out and slowly crept toward the sleeping girl. Elvira was torn. Should she do something? Did she need to do anything? Was there anything she could do? The girl in the pleated skirt reached the bed paused for a few moments and then punched the sleeping girl in the stomach. The sleeping girl awoke, bolting upright. As soon as her head left the pillow the girl in the skirt slapped something onto it. Elvira couldn't see what it was in the dim light, but whatever it was the girl in the bed wanted it off. While she struggled with it the girl in the skirt grabbed something else from the bag and attacked. She charged the bed, only to be met by a nice right cross. A flying tackle followed the right cross and both girls rolled around the floor tearing at each other. Scrambling for cover Elvira ducked into the castle and stumbled up the stairs to the second floor. Pushing a Mr. Mean doll out of the way she watched the fight. The girl who had been sleeping was throwing rights and left like crazy, but few of them were connecting. The girl in the skirt avoided the blows, skillfully parrying them. Every so often she would retaliate with a blow to the stomach. Enraged the girl who had been sleeping grabbed a chair and raised it over her head. The girl in the skirt ducked under the chair and wrapped her opponent in a bear hug. The gagged girl broke away from the bear hug, only to have a couple of more punches thrown into her stomach. She staggered back, only to be grabbed by the hair and pulled into the bear hug again. The amazing thing was Elvira still couldn't hear a thing. The two fighters were knocking furniture over, and the girl looked like she was making a lot of noise through her gag, but the room was as silent as a church. The gagged girl broke free from the bear hug but she was getting winded. From experience Elvira knew how hard it was to fight with a gag. All to soon you ran short of breath. The girl in the skirt seemed to know it too. Her leg shot out and her foot hit the gagged girl in the stomach, doubling her over. The leg shot out again, hitting just bellow the knee and the girl fell to the floor. The girl in the skirt pushed her down and then wrapped both her legs around the gagged girl's waist. Then she linked her ankles completing the classic scissors hold. Slowly she started to squeeze. The girl in the nightgown hit back, pounding as best she could with her fist, but she was already out of breath. It took a few minutes, but like an air mattress with a hole in it she sagged, shook then lay still. Once her victim was helpless the girl in the skirt released her. Then she got up and walked over to the wall. Light flooded the room as the overhead was turned on, giving Elvira her first real look at the combatants. The victor was stocky, her shirt at least a size too big for her. Her skin was sickly white, and her hands were stained with faded yellow. Her hair was dull brown, cut short and not cut that well either. It hung on a face that was sharply, almost painfully pinched. A witch in training if there ever was one, Elvira decided. Skirt-girl walked over to the bag and pulled out a small cube. She pushed a button on it and immediately sound could be heard in the room. Elvira heard the rain falling outside, the sound of a radio in the next room. Man that's something I wish I had, Elvira thought, thinking of her sisters Hanson tapes. The girl on the floor was slimmer than her captor was, though it was hard to tell because of the diaphanous nightgown she was wearing. She had a pretty face, wide eyes, full cheeks and pug nose. The ball gag in her mouth gave her a cartoonish look. The girl in the skirt started to laugh. It was an obscene titter of merriment, a fingernails-on-chalkboard sound that caused a chill to run down Elvira's spine. "The great Marvelous Mary." the girl said, roughly rolling Mary onto her stomach. Mary moaned slightly in response. "Did you think I wouldn't find you?" Taking hold of the sleeves of Mary's nightgown the girl tore them off. "Georgia Sylvester is certainly smart enough to find the name: "Mary Batton" in a phone book." She said the first name as if it was a title, as if the world should bow. "Getting your own phone was your undoing." Mary was slowly waking up, but Elvira doubted she could do much good. Georgia pulled both Mary's arms behind her back and fitted them into a leather single glove, hooking it over her neck. Sitting on Mary's legs the girl laced the glove up. Mary was fully awake now, but her squirming did more to amuse Georgia than free her. With the single glove secured Georgia rolled Mary over and sat on her legs. An evil smile lit her face as Mary twisted and pulled, completely helpless. "Like my new toy?" Georgia asked, holding the cube in front of her face. "I call it a sound nullifier, it deadens sound in a given space." Putting the cube down Georgia pulled Mary to her feet and threw her onto the bed. "Couldn't have you saying Quantor now could I?" Why not, Elvira wondered. She didn't really read the papers, and living in the mid-west she didn't know much of super hero's. She had heard about them of course. Every few months it was on the news about one or another of them saving the planet. It was often a mystery to Elvira why they kept facing the same foes all the time, and why they all seemed to love the East Coast so much. For that matter Elvira couldn't figure out why everyone wanted to rule the planet. If all the villains who wanted to rule the world would fight each other the hero's could take the day off. If they really wanted a challenge Elvira declared (on more than one occasion) they should try babysitting. She had heard of Marvelous Mary. Mindy was a nut about superheros and so was Elvira's sister. They would talk sometimes about Marvelous Mary the All-American Girl, teen heartthrob, example for all. Well almost all. When her mother had brought Mary Marvelous up as a roll model, Elvira pointed out that roll models wear pants if they fly not skirts. Underwear wasn't supposed to be seen that easily. The argument and fight that had resulted was still a legend in the Peterson household. All of this flashed through her mind as Georgia took a rope from the bag and tied it around Mary's neck, then to the top of the brass bed. "I wondered," Georgia said, taking a tripod out of the bag, "just what I could do to you. I could kill you of course, but where's the fun in that." With practiced ease she set the tripod up. "I could cut out your vocal cords, but that old wizard could probably heal you." She pulled a camera out of the bag and turned toward the helpless girl. "But blackmail..." she trailed off as she took the picture. Mary panicked then, lurching and squirming so much she nearly choked herself to death. Georgia laughed with evil glee and leapt onto the bed, holding her down. Elvira ran down the stairs, only a dim idea floating through her mind. There was one thing she did know though Georgia was the villain. Even if she wasn't a true super villain (didn't they all have to wear silly or sexy costumes?), she was still the villain. Besides having been tied up enough times herself, Elvira had a soft spot for other abductees. "Keep struggling and I'll kill everyone in this house." Georgia declared. Mary stopped struggling immediately. Georgia walked back over to the tripod and set the camera on it. Then she pushed a button. Mary's eyes never left those of her captor as Georgia walked back over and climbed on the bed. She sat on Mary's legs, pinning her down. Then reached up and started to unbutton the nightgown. Silently and deliberately she undid the garment, until it was unbuttoned to the waist. Then she pulled it open. Mary's breast, thrust out because of the single glove, appeared. They weren't extra large, but they were plump, with dark brown aureoles. Georgia massaged them, enjoying Mary's look of revulsion. "Still soft." Georgia said after a few moments of kneading the breast. She kept it up for a few minutes, enjoyment slowly giving way to frustration. "I want them hard for the camera." Mary shook her head, her eyes blazing. "This isn't turning you on at all is it?" Again Mary gave an angry shake of her head. "Strange." Georgia leaned back, a look of puzzlement on her face. "According to the Joker, Batgirl gets pretty hot from this. Cheetah tells me that Wonder Woman is like a whore on steroids when she gets caught. But that's alright." Georgia said, reaching into the bag. "I have these to really get your tits up." Taking the nipple clamps Georgia put one on each of Mary's breast. Then she took a small piece of string and tied each clamp to the top of the bedpost. Elvira cringed in sympathy as Mary was forced to arch her chest up even more. Elvira's own nipples were extra large, and thanks to Bud Bundy she knew how much nipple clamps could hurt. "That's a digital camera." Georgia said, starting to unbutton the rest of Mary's nightgown. "Once I'm done here tonight I'll have a lot of Internet ready pictures." The nightgown fully open she pushed it wide, revealing a set of white underwear. "So if I ever hear about Marvelous Mary stopping another crime." Georgia took hold of the underwear and slid it down Mary's legs. "Guess who goes on the net?" Mary growled through her gag, causing her captor to laugh. The young girl was completely nude now, and did not resist as Georgia tied her ankles to the bedpost, spreading her out. "Fuzzy." Georgia said, running her hands over the somewhat overgrown tangle of brown hair between Mary's legs. We have something in common, Elvira noted, (noting as she always did that she always noticed small things in this sort of situation) Mary, like herself, had a stripe of hair, not the traditional "V" shape. "Maybe I should give it a trim?" Georgia asked playfully. She reached over to the dressing table and picked up a hairbrush. "Or style it?" Slowly she started to brush the hair. "Maybe some mouse?" Mary's only response was another growl. Her captor laughed and continued to stroke her bush. "I can't believe this." Georgia complained after a few minutes work with the brush. "You can't be that much of a girl scout." Mary just glared at her, struggling a little against the ropes. Elvira herself was impressed, she'd been subjected to the almost the same type of torture (she refused to think of it as erotic arousal) and given in after the first ten minutes. But then Mary was a super hero, this sort of thing probably happened to her a lot. Keep strong girl, she silently urged the bound teenager. Slowly and silently Elvira had searched the floor, looking for something she could use against Georgia. Even if she had been in the mood to masturbate, there was no way she could handle Georgia after a growth spurt. The trouble was Mary seemed to keep only harmless toys. Damn, Elvira thought, just my luck she's politically correct, there's not an action figure in sight. If only she liked the Power Rangers... "Well if that doesn't work," Georgia reached into the bag and pulled out a large feather, "this might." Mary squeaked under her gag, and soon did much more. Her body was completely open to her captor, and Georgia soon found the sensitive areas. Aside from the traditional ticklish sights, under her arms, the souls of her feet, Georgia quickly found that the undersides of Mary's breast were very sensitive. Held up and taunt by the nipple clamps they were still loose enough to quiver as the girl laughed. Soon Mary was nearly eating the gag, her mouth opening wide in her attempts at laughter. At the same time Georgia's hand sneaked past the helpless girl's stomach and began to stroke her vagina. Again there was no response. "What the hell do I have to do? Georgia demanded of her captive. Mary lay on the bed, red faced, her nose flaring as she tried to get air into her lungs. "I want you hot!" "Nmph ayy!" Mary shot back through the gag. Georgia raised her hand back to slap the young girl, then stopped. "Maybe I don't have to turn you on to torment you. Georgia smiled, running the feather over Mary's foot. Mary responded by laughing, or trying to. "There's always more than one way to torture, as my father used to say." A grunt was her only response. Georgia smiled. Reaching over she detached the camera from the tripod. "I have 50 pictures of you in here, just waiting for the Internet release." Mary growled, pulling at her ropes. Georgia placed the camera between the girl's legs and pushed the shutter. "51 pictures." Mary collapsed back on the bed, a look of despair on her face. "With these pictures in my possession I've won." She put the camera into a pocket in her skirt. "And now I'll celebrate my victory." She took the feather and ran it lightly down from Mary's neck to her vagina. "I have all night after all." Her captive squirmed, trying to giggle. "You'd love to say "Quantor", wouldn't you?" Mary nodded. "Well if you can say Quantor you win." Georgia reached up and took hold of the ball gag. "If you can say it." A second before she pulled the gag out of Mary's mouth Georgia started to tickle her. "Qua...ha, ha, ha..." Mary half shouted half-laughed, trying to get the word out. Georgia laughed too, using both her fingers and the feather. "Qu...ha, ha, ha, ha, antor, ha, ha... Quant... ha, ha, ha...or!" Mary screeched/laughed in frustration. What a dumb way to get your powers, Elvira thought. It could be worse she reflected, Mary might have to spin around, or wear a ring all the time or something, or even have to wear a suit of armor. "Darn...ha, ha, ha, ha...you...!" Mary tried to shout between laughs. "Darn you?" Elvira whispered in amazement. This girl really was a Girl Scout. "The great Mary Marvelous." Georgia said with delight, replacing the ballgag. Mary lay back exhausted, limbs trembling. Her chest heaved up and down and sweat covered her body. Hang in there girl, Elvira urged silently. She had finally found a weapon. It wasn't much of a weapon, she knew that, but the shrunken babysitter had heard paper clips could be dangerous if handled incorrectly. It had taken all her strength to bend one of the edges straight and she silently crept back toward Georgia. "I should have thought of this years ago." Georgia said, picking up a pair of scissors from Mary's dresser. "But even a Sylvester is not perfect." Mary whined in protest as Georgia started to snip away at her pubic hair. "Don't like that do you?" Georgia reached up and took hold of a lock of the brown hair on Mary's head. "Maybe I should start at the other end?" This girl has spent too much time reading alt.sex.stories, Elvira reflected. She was under the bed and lined up, all she needed was an opening. She hoped it would be before Mary ended up bald. She watched as a lock of hair fell to the floor. "Don't frown like that Mary." Georgia said. "I'll give you another chance." "Quan... ha, ha, ha...tor...ha, ha, ha, ammmmmm!" Mary tried, to get the word out through the laughs. "Tickle, tickle, tic...Ow!" Georgia interrupted her taunting as the paper clip spear was driven into her ankle. Forgetting all about Mary she reached down and grabbed Elvira. "What..." "Qunator!" Mary shouted. Instantly there was a flash of lighting in the room, accompanied by a clap of thunder. The shockwave threw Georgia and Elvira across the room and into the wall. "I'll teach you..." Mary came after them her face a mask of murderous rage. Georgia smiled, touched a control on her belt and vanished, taking Elvira with her. What's worse than Babysitting? Being held captive by a mad supervillainess that's what. What's worse than that? Having the villainess mad at you. Vacations over though, so Elvira's going to be in limbo for another few months. Might have time to get back to Mindy though. ********** Elvira Peterson and the Witch's kids Episode twelve: Marvelous Mary By Skytower Victim of Jeremy and Helga Carrion, Elvira Peterson now shrinks when tickled to an orgasmic level, and grows when she is brought to an extreme of sexual pleasure. Hoping to cure herself Elvira had gone back to the child mad scientist. Put on a teleport platform to remove one of the shrinking nanites from her body, Elvira was caught in a struggle between Georgia Sylvester and Marvelous Mary. She aided Marvelous Mary but was caught by Georgia. (c)1999 By Skytower Elvira Peterson always flossed. Always. It wasn't so much that she liked to floss, it was just that as a hockey player she wanted her teeth to be as strong as possible. So she was really familiar with dental floss. But this was something new. "This is really a nice design." Georgia said. "Pity there's no more power in its main cell." She was sitting at a lab table watching a computer diagram of a small spider-like machine. Georgia Sylvester, known to some as the; "Worlds Most Villainous Girl" could also have been known as the; "Worlds Plainest Girl". She was stocky with lifeless brown hair that framed a thin face. Large coke bottle glasses obscured deep brown eyes and completely hid thin eyebrows. Her skin was an unhealthy mix of yellow and white and, as usual, she wore an oversized tan sweater, bobby socks and a tan knee length skirt. "Thanks." Elvira said, straining to get a better grip. Elvira was about six or seven inches tall, though that could change. Her hair was brown, but a shiny brown and worn just past her shoulders. Her face was gamin like, with arching eyebrows over brown eyes that needed no glasses. Though not as stocky as Georgia she was non-the- less in good shape, as she was now proving. Elvira was suspended over a large fish tank, holding onto a thin strand of cinnamon waxed dental floss. The floss was wrapped around a plastic straw that was slowly bending in half. The straw had been settled on the top of two glass beakers. Elvira was thus faced with a serious engineering problem. She could not climb any higher since the straw would not support her weight, but holding onto a waxed strand of dental floss wasn't something she could do indefinitely. It was like trying to climb with nylon clothesline rope. Elvira kept alternately wrapping it around either arm, but her arms were starting to pass the sore point. Still the shrunken babysitter knew she was lucky to be alive. Georgia had nearly crushed her when they appeared in the lab. It was only the girl's sadism that was keeping her alive. In pain, but alive. The lab itself surprised Elvira, she had half expected a dungeon. Instead the place was modern, or at least modern in an art deco, thirties type of way. They were in a huge chamber with gold and silver arches supporting a cathedral like ceiling. Stain glass windows, filled with the Sylvester family portraits and deeds filled the roof. The lab equipment looked like something out of a Buck Rogers cartoon. "What kind of person keeps piranhas?" Elvira asked, wondering if the nanite really was out of power, and if so would she ever be able to grow again? Jeremy had never said anything about how the things were powered. Nor for that matter had Elvira ever wondered. She had simply taken it for granted, like turning on a light. "They were a sweet sixteen gift from the Joker." Georgia said. "This nanite is a very nice design, inferior in most respects to my own shrinking ray, but it does have one good point." "What's that?" Elvira asked, knowing that she had to ask. Forget about growing, she told herself. First priority is staying alive. "It can penetrate the Marvelous hyper-dense skin." Georgia got up and walked over to the tank. "Which is good since I know Mary will be coming here sooner or later. The very thought of those pictures in my hands is enough to make the poor girl cry." Picking up a small bit of meat from a table next to the tank she threw it in. Immediately there was a violent eruption in the water. Elvira swallowed and tried to get a better grip on the floss. "I'll make a batch of your nanites for when they show up. I like the idea of the Marvelous small enough to step on." Georgia gave Elvira a poke in the stomach. Someone of my intellect likes to plan ahead." Georgia said. "But this is improvised." The poke started the tiny babysitter rocking and Elvira struggled to steady herself before the straw slipped. "Very creative." She said gritting her teeth. "But something isn't right." Georgia lifted the straw off of the beakers and swung Elvira over to the table. "I know what it is. Strip." "What?" Elvira asked unwrapping the floss from her wrist. She knew what Georgia wanted but she wanted to get some circulation back before the wicked girl tied her up again. "Take off your cloths." Georgia said, picking up an X- acto knife. "Or I will." "Somehow I had a feeling this outfit wouldn't last." Elvira muttered. As slowly as she could she unbuttoned the white blouse. "You know this is a hard outfit to find." In response Georgia brought the knife down and Elvira barely jumped out of the way. Quickly she dropped the blouse. There was no bra but she didn't bother to cover herself. "Nice." Georgia said. "Small but nice." Like your so big, Elvira thought. It wasn't true, here breast weren't large, but they were soft, full and had large aureoles and big nipples and she'd never had any complaints. Not that many people had... Stop it, Elvira told herself. Still her wandering mind had bought her a nearly a minute and her arms were starting to feel better. Elvira unbuckled the skirt. As slowly as possible she let it down to her ankles and stepped out of it. She stood for a moment, then threw the skirt to the side as Georgia gestured with the knife. Georgia put the knife down and put Elvira back over the tank. "My little friends don't like cloth." Georgia said, giving her another push. "But don't worry if you fall in, I'll fish you out. You'll only loose an arm or leg. "That's comforting." "Still only the beginning. I'll find a proper way avenge myself on you later." "What do you mean; "avenge?" Elvira demanded. "You were doing something wrong and I stopped you." "You interfered in matters that weren't your affair." "I stopped you from sexually assaulting a helpless girl, there's nothing wrong with that." "That was no mere girl, that was Marvelous Mary!" Georgia leaned down, her face filling Elvira's world. "Do you know how many times she plagued me?" "Weren't you trying to take over the world!" Elvira said, desperately pulling herself up a little more. She thanked whatever god looked over shrunken babysitters that Georgia did not have bad breath. "Didn't you realize that someone would try to stop you?" "The elite must rule!" Georgia proclaimed, standing straight up. For a moment Elvira expected her to give a nazi salute. "My family and I are the most brilliant scientist the world has ever known! We should rule." "Okay lets say your right about that." Elvira said, ignoring the tiny voice in her head telling her to shut up. "Don't you realize that if you can't beat the superheroes you're not the elite, they are." For an answer Georgia knocked the straw over and sent Elvira plunging into the tank. Meanwhile at Mighty Guy headquarters... "It was humiliating!" Marvelous Mary raged, pacing back and forth in the computer room. "Can you imagine being stripped naked, tied up and tickled for hours?" Sitting in front of the computer Wonder Lass sighed wistfully. The sigh highlighted yet another difference between the two girls. Marvelous Mary paced back and forth, her brown hair and short cape flowing in her wake. Mary's costume was a short sleeve gray shirt with a large blue lightning bolt on the chest. A silver belt, gray skirt down to her knees and gray boots completed it. She was what the newspapers called the "Super hero Next Door" Mary's fresh face and slim figure helped her earn that image. In contrast Esmerelda, known to the world as Wonder Lass, had a voluptuous figure that could make strong men week in the knees, while stiffening other parts of their anatomy. She stood a half a foot taller than Mary. Her face was a little rounder and framed by raven black hair partly held in place by a silver tiara. Her costume was a sleeveless halter-top that showed a lot of cleavage. One side of the halter was red, the other blue with white stars running up to her shoulder. A silver belt, the secret of her power sat snugly around her waste, attached to it was a mystical silver rope. She wore a pair of blue bottoms with more stars. Black boots came up to her knees. "And then she vanished taking the pictures with her!" Mary hugged herself, cringing. "I could never face the public if those were seen. Just the thought... Knowing that everyone who looks at me knows..." "Calm down Mary." Esmerelda said. "I'm tracking the energy emissions, we'll find her." She was really taking it hard, Esmerelda thought. A part of her could understand why. Mary's power was linked to the mystical word Quantor, and very few people knew that. Not like my powers, Dry thought. Almost everyone knew about her magic belt. She'd lost count of the times she'd been captured and stripped. Not to mention how many times her own lasso had overcome her while in the hands of a villain. "And the girl who helped me." Mary said. "Right. You don't know anything about her?" "Nothing, but if she hadn't shown up I'd still be there." A beeping sounded from the computer. "Did you find her?" "No, but it looks like someone else is using our tracking system." Esmerelda entered a series of commands and the screen to their left lit up. "Hello." Helga said innocently. Both Mary and Esmerelda started back a bit. They had both babysat for Helga and Jeremy Carrion and knew that the small red haired, green-eyed child was a true spawn of hell. (Or heck, as Mary would put it)" "Helga I thought your mother told you not to hack into our systems again." Esmerelda said. "This is an emergency." Jeremy said, appearing instead of his sister. "Our babysitter is missing." "You lost another one?" "Your mother got another one?" Esmerelda asked, astonishment plain in her voice. "Yes, Elvira by name. Have you seen her? About six inches tall, brown hair." "It must have been her." Mary said. "Georgia Sylvester has her." "She rescued Mary from Georgia Sylvester." Esmerelda said. "Really?" "Yea, Georgia had Mary tied up and stripped and was taking pictures." "Esmerelda!" Mary protested. "Standard blackmail then?" "Yep. She tickled her too." Mary threw her arms up in despair and started pacing again. "We're going to rescue her." "Oh." Jeremy looked thoughtful for a moment. " Well thank you for that. Helga and I have to find her friend Mindy." "What did you do to her?" Esmerelda asked. "Nothing much, Helga just had a class project to test. Thanks." With that the screen went dark. As Elvira hit the water she tried to remember everything she knew about piranha. Unfortunately she didn't know anything. Desperately she tried to make it to the edge of the tank, only to find her way blocked. Laughing Georgia hit a switch under the tank. It lit up and Elvira realized she was in the middle of a square glass partition set in the center. On all sides she could see the deadly fish, but she was safe from them. New rule, she screamed at herself, no more moral arguments with girls who are ten times your size. "Priceless." Georgia laughed. "Simply priceless." "Whoopee." Elvira said, keeping her temper. "Why don't you tread water there for a while." Georgia smiled a horrible smile. The corners of her lips did not turn up, rather her teeth seemed to push outward from her mouth. "I have an idea." "Can't wait." Elvira muttered as Georgia walked away. About a half-hour later Georgia picked Elvira up and carried her into a smaller room. The room was lit by dim fluorescent lighting and Elvira saw a large table in its center. Set in the ceiling above the table was a mirror. Georgia set the shrunken babysitter on a small table and dropped a towel over her. "You really don't think I'm brilliant do you." Georgia asked. "Is there a right answer to this question?" Elvira asked, drying herself off. "No." Taking the towel away Georgia pushed the tiny girl onto her stomach and tied hands behind her. Lifting her up Georgia tied another strand of floss around her neck. Then she put a small jar on the table, set Elvira on top of it and tied the rope to a hook set in the wall. Elvira judged that there was enough slack in the rope to drop her to the bottom of the jar. "I'm not going to like this am I?" Georgia gave her that ghastly smile again. "Its very simple, I have to prepare for Mary and her family, that will take me about 20 minutes. You will sink into this substance past your head in 21 minutes. If the rope wasn't around you neck. You see the rope is measured just so, it will keep your head out of the substance, but you'll choke in 23 minutes." Georgia took more floss and tied Elvira's feet together, then tied her arms against her body. "Now here is the great variable in this equation, something that I can't really figure. How good is your sense of balance? If you start to lean in any direction you'll choke before I get back." You need one hell of a good spanking, Elvira thought. Aloud she asked; "What is this stuff?" "Honey." Georgia said, taking off the top of the jar she placed Elvira into the honey, softly planting her feet. Immediately, but slowly, the babysitter began to sink. "Now if you're lucky enough to survive I have a little game for you to play." She left, her low laugh lingering in the room. "Got it!" Wonder Lass said. "She's using a copy of the Mighty Guys transporter that Leo Luther stole from them years ago. She is 80 miles above Hollywood." "80 miles above?" "80 miles above." Esmerelda confirmed. "Didn't the Sylvester family have some sort of sky palace?" "It blew up years ago." Mary said. "Well they must have rebuilt." Esmerelda operated a few controls and a satellite view of Hollywood appeared." "Nothing." Mary said. "She probably has it well hidden, which also means there's no way we can approach without being seen. Even your invisible helicopter would be spotted." "No problem." Esmerelda said, getting up. "We'll just get there the same way she did." Elvira took deep breaths, listening carefully to the sound of her own heartbeat. One of the first things she had ever taught herself was balance. When you're playing hockey balance is the most important thing you can have. She had said that often enough to rookies, reminding them that their success and health depended upon being able to stand on two pieces of steel 1/6th of an inch thick. Of course no one ever tried to skate on honey. At least no one that she knew of. The gooey stuff had risen steadily, enveloping her legs, thighs and was now just under her breast. Elvira felt her body heat up as it sunk, but try as she might she could not get exited sexually. True the honey did have an exotic, even erotic feel to it, and there was no part of her lower body that didn't feel slightly aroused. But there was no way to trigger any more arousal than she felt. Even as the sticky goo eased over her breast she couldn't get going. If her arms had been free, or even tied in front of her the babysitter thought she might have had a chance. But they weren't and she was stuck. With her breast now completely under Elvira found it hard to breathe. The honey was almost alive in the way it was containing her body. She could feel every inch of herself being held. Even being in Benny the Bondage Suit hadn't made her feel this helpless. "Still alive." Georgia said. Elvira looked up to see the wicked girl holding a small box. She turned away and attached the box to the maze, then turned back. "You must have very good balance." she said, taking hold of Elvira's head. Very slowly Elvira was pulled out of the honey. So far the babysitter hadn't said anything, but she screamed as Georgia suspended Elvira over her mouth. "You wouldn't!" Elvira shouted. "I might." Georgia said, bringing the helpless girl down closer. "But in truth I just wanted to do this." Her tongue snaked out of her mouth and began to lick the honey from Elvira's feet. "Stop... ha...ha..." Elvira squirmed, never had she been so scared, turned on, tickled and disgusted at the same time. Also her head was starting to hurt from being held between Georgia's fingers. "This is really too much fun." Georgia said. Taking Elvira over to the opposite end of the maze she pulled up a glass door. Taking a pair of scissors she cut away the dental floss and dropped her captive into the maze, letting the door fall shut. Elvira dropped to the floor, her arms and legs plastered to her side by the honey. Slowly she forced her limbs apart. She didn't bother trying to wipe it off, Elvira knew that honey was on her until she could find a hot bath. Georgia rapped on the glass sharply and Elvira jumped back, pressing against the wall. Which was a mistake as she almost got stuck there. "Here's that little game I told you about." Georgia said. "At the other end of the maze I've placed a shrunken bear, and you know how they love honey." "What's wrong, all out of killer bees?" Elvira snapped. "Mmmm, actually they didn't occur to me. I must get some at my earliest opportunity. Now I'm going to let you loose, and I'm going to let him loose. If you get to the center of the maze first you'll be safe. "At least for a while." she said after a moments pause. "But if he finds you first, well that's that. Have fun." The door in front of Elvira opened, but the corridor beyond didn't look very inviting. Inviting or not Does Elvira have a choice? Stay tuned. ******************* Elvira Peterson and the Witch's kids Episode thirteen: Little Maids and the Pleasures of Pie By Skytower Elvira Peterson, Babysitter with a problem. Exposed to an unstable shrinking potion Elvira now can grow or shrink when she reaches a sexual zenith. This has led to the occasional problem. Her current problem is being caught and held by Georgia Sylvester, an aspiring supervillaines. (c)1999 by Skytower In the four microseconds it took for the display to tell her what she already knew, Georgia Sylvester reviewed the situation in her mind. She had won over Marvelous Mary at last, not in any physical way, but in the true way of her family; she had out thought the super-heroine. She had captured her foe while Marvelous Mary was still in her civilian guise. Georgia smiled as she remembered the brief struggle. She knew Mary, knew what could bring her down. The nude photos she had taken were now resting on the hard drive in the main computer of the Sylvester sky palace. Ready to go out over the Internet in seconds. Mary had tracked her to the sky palace, as Georgia knew she would. Hovering for the moment over Hollywood, hidden in a cloud and all but invisible to every form of electronic sensor, the sky palace was impossible to approach without being seen. So Mary and her brother Captain Marvelous and cousin Captain Marvelous Junior would use the Mighty Guys teleporter, catch her by surprise and foil her schemes. "Or at least that is their plan." Georgia muttered. Georgia Sylvester was five six, skinny with pale yellow skin. Her eyes glared at the world from behind Coke bottle glasses and hair was a dull brown mop. She wore a turtleneck sweater and a knee length brown skirt. The teleporter warning alarm lit up. Two signals were detected, intercepted before they could materialize and held in stasis. "Only two?" Georgia questioned, giving the outside scanners a quick glance. But nothing was approaching, and there was no way the Sylvester designed scanners could be fooled. "Who's with you Mary?" Georgia asked. She typed in a series of commands and in one of the rooms of the sky palace Marvelous Mary and Wonder Lass materialized briefly, then dematerialized before either girl could do anything. "Wonder Lass!" Georgia snapped in surprise. "Still that makes sense, you could never tell your brother or your cousin what I did could you? Well," she said, turning to another part of the console, "Let's see what the SuperVillain Data Base has on Wonder Lass." It took only a few moments for Georgia to find the information she sought. When she did her harsh laughter filled the sky palace, causing a few of the glass panels to shudder. Esmerelda materialized for an instant, she was sure of that, but that instant was gone before she could even think. Then she materialized again, this time remaining solid. She was in a small room, bare with gray walls and ceiling. "Hello." Georgia said. Esmerelda spun around only to be hit by a beam of some sort. Puzzled she staggered back against the wall, trying to use he bracelets to block the beam. It didn't work as the beam was too diffused. It stopped and suddenly the room began to dim, then twist. The lights dimmed and the heroine felt the floor fall out from under her. When it was over Esmerelda struggled to her feet. She was naked, under some sort of big red tent. Trying to clear her head Esmerelda pushed herself to the end of the tent and into the light. Staggering away from the tent the Amazon fell against a large white rubber couch. She lay against it for a moment, getting her bearings. Someone was laughing, a harsh almost metallic laugh. The couch was pulled out from under her and Esmerelda landed flat on her back looking up. Looking up at Georgia Sylvester. "Hello Wonder Dolly." Georgia said. For a moment she just watched the dazed heroine. The shrinking ray had reduced her in proportion nothing was changed. She still had a voluptuous figure, with dark black hair and a round face. Reaching down she picked Esmerelda up and brought her to eye level. "Well, black is your natural hair color." Georgia said, scratching Esmerelda's vagina. Holding the tiny girls legs taunt Georgia looked her over. Still dazed Esmerelda stared back, fear beginning to slip into her mind. "Even at this size these things are large." Georgia said, tapping Esmerelda's chest. Bending down she picked up Wonder Lass's costume. She laughed again. "But not large enough to fill this anymore." Holding up the golden belt Georgia pressed it against the tiny girl. Instantly Esmerelda's head snapped up, her mind recovered. She tried to grab the belt only to have Georgia pull it away. "Feel better?" Georgia asked. Esmerelda growled in frustration and pounded on her captors hands. "I thought so." Georgia said. Mary materialized slightly dazed and worried. She knew something had gone wrong, she and Esmerelda had blinked into reality for a second before vanishing again. Mary looked around, fighting off the fog that clouded her mind. She was in a kitchen, a large one. Georgia was sitting by a table, her hand resting on the power switch of a blender. "You!" Mary growled, starting to charge her. She stopped quickly when she saw a tiny figure inside the blender. Though distorted by the thick glass Mary recognized Wonder Lass. Lilliputian, naked and helpless. "One step closer and I press the "Whip" button." Georgia threatened. "You wicked girl." Mary said, quickly stopping. "Turn around and say Quantor." Georgia ordered. "Realizing she had no choice Mary turned around. "Qunator." she said and was instantly transformed back into Mary Batton. "You didn't have a chance to dress." Georgia observed. Mary was still wearing the nightgown from their encounter a few hours before. It was shredded and barely covered any of her. Something light settled Mary's shoulders. "No..." Mary started to protest, realizing it was Wonder Lass's magic lasso. But it was too late. "Don't move." Georgia ordered. Mary stayed where she was feeling bars of steel descend on her willpower. "If everything I've heard of this is true, you have to do everything I say and can only tell the truth." "Yes." Mary stuttered. "I must tell...truth." "True or false, you like being tied up." "False." Mary said. "Incredible." her captor said. "Your too straight for this business you know that?" "No." Georgia laughed. "I bet you've never even kissed a boy have you?" "Yes I have." "Any more than that? Touching, groping?" "No." "You must be one dull date." "No." "Enough fun." Georgia said, her tone turning serious. "I order you to promise me never to say the word that will transform you into Marvelous Mary." "I...nnn... I promise." Mary said at last, trying to bite every word before it came out of her mouth. "Good." Georgia said, pushing Mary down she pulled the lasso off. Then she took out a gun and let Mary have a blast of the shrinking beam right in the face. As with Esmerelda, Mary was shrunk proportionately. She still had the slim boyish figure, fresh face and brown hair. The superheroine was just smaller. A lot smaller, Mary realized as Georgia picked her up. "I see brown is your natural hair color as well." Georgia said. Elvira looked at the passageway. It wasn't much to look at, dull white plastic, smooth Formica floor (also dull white) with a clear Plexiglas ceiling. "Jerry Mouse where are you when I need you?" she wondered aloud. As if in answer a deep hoarse roar echoed it's way to her ears. "Make it to the middle an your safe huh, well not in this lifetime." Elvira Peterson stood at five feet five inches. Usually. Lately she had begun to loose track of her normal height. She stood at the entrance to the maze, her body covered in sticky honey. Elvira was solidly built with wide hips, small breast and shoulder length brown hair. Her face, when not covered with honey anyway, was round with a high proud forehead. Turning away from the maze Elvira looked at the doorway Georgia had dropped her through. It was a simple trap door, held down by a magnet. Good enough to stop a mouse, but not a determined babysitter. She hoped. Her first jump served to remind Elvira that she was still covered with honey, she slipped and fell on her but. Growling the tiny girl tried again. This time she made it, pushing the door open a little, but fell back. As many of her friends had noted during the years, Elvira was a stubborn girl. They would not have been surprised that Elvira kept at it, nor that it took her 38 tries to force herself up out of the maze. They would have applauded, and Elvira would have congratulated herself. If she hadn't been hanging onto the edge of the maze for dear life. What she hadn't realized was that there was no edge on the table, from the outer wall of the maze there was a sheer drop to the floor. "Wear these." Georgia ordered, dropping two outfits in front of Esmerelda and Mary. "I will not." Mary declared in an outraged tone of voice. The costume Georgia had given them was a sexual parody of a French Maid. Tight fishnet stockings, a frill that would serve as a skirt, or a very wide belt and a tight black tube top. Three inch high heels were included as well. "This is indecent!" "This from little naked girl." Georgia laughed. "Put it on Mary." Esmerelda said, struggling into her top. "At least it's something." "I will not." Mary declared again. Georgia reached over and picked up the doll-sized girl. Holding her from just above the knees. Enraged Mary pounded and scratched, but that had no effect on Georgia. With dizzying speed Mary was brought up to the wicked girls face, then turned around. "Ow!" Mary shouted as Georgia gave her a spank. More of them came and even though her arms were free Mary could do nothing to protect herself. Again and again Georgia hit the helpless girl's but, using just one finger. Sometimes she used her fingernail. Georgia didn't bother demanding surrender, in fact except for a low grating giggle she didn't make any noise at all. "All right!" Mary shouted. Georgia ignored her. "Stop!" again she was ignored. "I give up!" Mary screeched. The giggling only got worse. "Please!" Mary screamed. That did it. Georgia put Mary back on the tabletop where Esmerelda had watched the spanking with helpless fury. Choking back tears Mary struggled into the costume. The top fit snugly, the frill she had to hike up above her belly button, her but was just too sensitive for anything to touch it. Luckily the stockings only went up to her thighs. It was the heels that gave her the hardest time. Mary had never worn three-inch heels before. Once Esmerelda had strapped them on Mary fell over. For the next few minutes Georgia's laughter filled the room as Mary struggled to stand. Elvira inched herself hand over hand to the edge of the table, grateful that the honey on her hands had gotten a little sticky. Her arms were too sore to pull herself up, but the small girl had spotted the leg of the table. Large round and sloping at a steep angle toward the floor. "Just like a fire pole." Elvira said to herself. "If a fire pole was four feet wide and fifty feet tall. I HATE BABYSITTING!" she screamed. Mary walked cautiously a few feet, turned around and walked back. "You're getting the hang of it." Esmerelda said, ready to catch her again. Both of them were studiously avoiding looking at Georgia, who was now munching popcorn as she watched. "Who came up with these things?" Mary asked. "Lex Luthor? The Joker? Who was sick enough..." "The same guy who came up with the corset." Esmerelda said, steadying her. "Men." Mary swore. "It's supposed to make our legs look better." Esmerelda said. "Alright." Georgia said, putting down the popcorn. They were in what both girls guessed was the main kitchen of the Sylvester Sky Palace. It was well stocked with more pastry than either of them had seen outside of a bakery. Gleaming chrome pots and pans hung from the walls. "Now that my little doll has learned how to walk it's time to get to work." Walking over to a table with a sheet on it she wheeled it over to them and pulled off the sheet. Beneath the sheet was a Victorian playhouse. Pulling a pin out of the roof the wicked girl opened the house, exposing three floors of the dirtiest rooms Mary or Esmerelda had ever seen. "When my brother and I were ten my father shrunk us down and made us live in here." "Why?" Esmerelda asked. "We wouldn't stop fighting. He only meant to keep us in there for a night, but the next day Captain Marvelous," here she looked pointedly at Mary, "put him in jail. We were in there for two years before he broke out. Now naturally Sylvester's don't do housework, so the place is a little messy." "You want us to clean your doll house?" Esmerelda asked, wondering where all the normal super villains were. Not even the Joker would ask her to clean a house. At least not since he'd met Harley Quinn. "That's right." Georgia said, handing them each a small basket filled with cleaning supplies. I want it spotless." Picking the tiny girls up she dropped them into the living room. Then she put two cameras on a cord hanging from the ceiling. "Now these camera's are a direct feed to the web." Mary turned red and ducked behind Esmerelda. "On a time delay. If the house isn't spotless then you two are going to be the most famous shrunken superheroines of all time." "You wicked girl." Mary said. "Clean." Georgia ordered, settling back into her chair and reaching for more popcorn. "Well that was fun." Elvira said, laying back on the floor, her chest heaving. The slide down the table leg had been close, but she had managed to slow herself down enough. Barely. Pealing her back off of the floor Elvira looked around the room. She could see the doorway Georgia had come through, no way was Elvira going in that direction. Which left only the door on the other side of the room. "Oh well." Elvira sighed and started to walk. First things first, a safe place, and then she could get big and deal with Georgia. If she could still get big. Georgia's comment about the nanite being out of power worried her. But if the past few months had taught her anything it was to have faith in Jeremy's handiwork. Somehow it would work. There are times that test even heroines. Moments in life when dread can overcome honor. Horror defeats principle. Mary and Esmerelda were at that point. They had decided to start at the top of the house and worked their way down. The first two rooms were servant's quarters, small and not to bad. But the first door on the second floor had a sign on it that brought them to a halt. They stood in front of the door, feeling the malevolence emanating from the room beyond. "You do it." Mary and Esmerelda said together. They instantly turned away from each other, shame and embarrassment filling them. "Maybe we should save this for last?" Mary suggested. "Sounds good." Esmerelda agreed. Together they hurried down the stairs. But even as they fled both of the tiny girls realized one of them would have to clean the bathroom sooner or later. "Don't any of the doors in this damn place open!" Elvira cursed, kicking the door. She swore again and sat down, nursing the injured foot. It was an unreasonable request she knew she was a little over six inches while the doors were about fifteen feet high. Elvira wasn't sure how long she'd been wandering the mansion corridors, being shrunk often messed up her sense of time. Not that the mansion was such a bad place, even at her height. It was a treasure trove of fine art, furniture in all taste and styles and large stain glass windows. The floors were all the same though, flat dull gray plastic. Hard, flat dull gray plastic. In the past few months the shrunken babysitter had gotten a lot of experience in masturbation in strange places. Under beds, toy boxes, Lego palaces, over sinks, IN sinks, Under sinks... Elvira had learned to ignore her surroundings and concentrate. But she needed a modicum of privacy, or at least a soft surface, to do it. And the mansion offered very little of either. Sighing she stood up, testing the foot. It was okay and Elvira started to walk down the corridor. "Halt!" She spun, ready for battle, but there was no one there. "How dare you track foot prints down my corridor." the voice was strange, the words hard, but the tone, though male, almost a whisper. Elvira looked hard, and then realized where the words were coming from. On the floor at the corner was a large towel. It scrubbed away at her honey edged footprints. "Wow!" Elvira said, barely getting the word out. She watched in amazement as the towel scrubbed the floor to her feet. Then the towel stood up. "Wow!" At full height the towel stood some four feet with a width of two feet. Fine white Terry Cloth, shaped like a gingerbread man, with no mouth, eyes or other human attributes. "Do you have any idea how hard it is to get honey off the floor?" "Ah...no." Elvira said. "Well it's not easy young lady." "Sorry." Elvira apologized. "But you see I was..." "No excuses." "Who are you?" the tiny girl asked, finally starting to get her mind working again. "I am Sir Softy." "Sir Softy?" "Am I not speaking clearly enough? I am Sir Softy. The cleaner. I keep the Sylvester Sky Palace clean so the family can attend to their villainous affairs." "Oh." Elvira started to back away. "Stop." Sir Softy ordered. "I will not have you track honey over my clean floors. If you are to walk here you must be cleaned." "Really?" Elvira turned and ran. "Mary!" Esmerelda cried, though she only got the first part of the word out. A furry arm snaked around her throat before she could finish or take another breath. The arm quickly wrapped itself around her face as well. Another arm shot out of the fridge at the same time and pinned the tiny girls arms to her side. Two suction cups launched from the fridge and stuck to the nipples on each breast. The last furry arm wrapped itself between and then around her legs. Slowly it started to rub against her vagina. At the same time a blast of strange smelling dust was shot into her nose by the arm wrapped around her face. Almost instantly Esmerelda's fears collapsed. A warm feeling filled her body, lowering her defenses. The arm at her vagina started to press inward. "Esmerelda I... Esmerelda!" Mary shouted, walking in the door. Quickly she attacked the thing from the fridge with her mop. Hitting and poking she pried the arms from Esmerelda's body and forced it back into the frige, closing the door. Tired she turned and leaned against it. "That was close. Are you ok Esmerelda?" "Fine." Esmerelda said, a strange smile on her face. Before Mary could react Esmerelda charged her. Grabbing Mary in a bear hug that pinned the girl's arms behind her at the same time Esmerelda kissed her surprised friend. Mary squirmed and started to protest, but Esmerelda only took the opportunity to force her tongue into the other girl's mouth. Esmerelda then flipped her up and over her, landing on top of Mary while at the same time driving the wind out of her lungs. Holding down the shrunken squirming girl Esmerelda started to kiss and massage Mary's breast. "Stop!" Sir Softy shouted as Elvira turned a corner. "You must be cleaned!" Elvira didn't stop of course, in fact she managed to go faster. By now completely lost the babysitter was running on pure panic and adrenaline. "It does you no good to run girl! I shall find you and then there shall by a reckoning. You must be scrubbed, soaped, cleaned. Only then will you be ready for more of Mistress Sylvester's torture." "Wait a minute!" Elvira said, skidding to a halt. Scrubbed? Cleaned? Turning she ran back around the corner and into a very surprised Sir Softy. "Take me I'm yours." Mary twisted the fishnet stockings around Esmerelda's wrist and then pulled her other stalking off. If Esmerelda hadn't been under the influence of the lust dust Mary doubted she could have won the wrestling match. The young Amazon was used to wrestling in the Greek style. Luckily she was too busy trying to get her head between Mary's legs. Pulling off Esmerelda's other stalking Mary tied her friend's legs together, then she sat on her. "What was that thing?" Mary demanded. "That was Mister Pleasure." Georgia said. "A little present my brother whipped up for my birthday." "Your brother?" Mary asked aghast. "He felt sorry for leaving me tied up in the tub for two days." Mary said nothing, but could feel Esmerelda squirming beneath her. The Amazon was rubbing her breast on the floor and Mary could feel Esmerelda's hands trying to reach her but. "How long will it last?" "Two, three days. It was a good gift. You know the longer she's tied up like that the hornier she gets. It's pure torture. Here." Georgia knocked Mary off of Esmerelda and picked the shrunken girl up. "I think I'll help her out." "You wicked girl!" Mary called after her. Georgia ignored her, placing Esmerelda on the table. With a knife she freed the tiny Amazon, but held her down with a finger on her stomach. Lustfully Esmerelda hugged and licked the finger. "You can watch if you like." Georgia said, looking at Mary. Mary blushed scarlet and turned away. Georgia laughed and released her hold on Esmerelda. "Stay." she ordered, going over to the refrigerator. The Amazon lay on the table panting. "You monster!" Mary whispered, knowing that anything above that might get her a place next to Esmerelda. Never had the heroine been so frustrated. She was completely helpless. Frantically she racked her brain, trying to come up with an escape plan. But there was none. "It's a good thing you've come to your senses." Sir Softy said, carrying Elvira into the bathroom. "No problem." It had actually been a pretty comfortable trip. Sir Softy had gathered the shrunken babysitter in his(?) arms and, scrubbing all the way, taken her to the bathroom. Elvira had used the trip to stimulate herself, rubbing herself all over. Now she was fully aroused, her breast hard, the juices between her legs mixing with the honey. With one hand she pinched a nipple, while the other hand delved into herself, tapping out a concerto on her clitoris. "I'll just put you here while I run the sink." Elvira was rolled out of Sir Softy's grip and onto the unforgiving cold hardness of a Formica counter top. "HEY!" Elvira shouted, feeling the mood start to break. Without thinking she leapt to her feet and launched herself into the towel. "Bonsai!" Esmerelda rubbed her body against the stick of celery, feeling the stiff hairs of the vegetable scratch her skin. From the dollhouse Mary stood repulsed and fascinated at the same time. Georgia sat and watched, every so often reaching over and pulling the celery away. When ever she did Esmerelda would cry and beg until it was given back. "I wonder how she'd handle an ice cream cone?" Georgia asked Mary. The wicked girl turned toward the fridge only to be met with a blackberry pie in the face. Taken by surprise Georgia fell backward, only saved from stopping by grabbing the table. "Who dares..." she started to say, wiping the pie out of her eyes. The moment she did a pumpkin pie hit her. "Why I never..." Lemon moraine stopped her words. "One more cliche and I throw the carrot cake." Elvira warned. Full sized, if still naked, she lounged casually against the fridge. Seeing her chance Mary leapt from the house to the table. A right cross knocked Esmerelda senseless and Mary Carried her behind the popcorn bowl. The carrot cake wasn't needed, as Georgia didn't say anything. Enraged she charged Elvira. The charge was met with a pirouette move the young hockey player had used to avoid many a body check. Georgia slammed into the fridge and rebounded off stunned. Elvira kicked her in the stomach, then when Georgia was doubled over put the wicked girls head between her legs. Grabbing Georgia's waist Elvira pulled her upside down. Then dropped to her knees. Georgia's head hit the floor with the weight of her entire body driving it. She fell and lay limp as Elvira released her. "Damn! That felt good." Elvira said, getting up. "I always wanted to try that. Hey, what a spread." She said, looking at the table. Aside from the bowl of popcorn there was a cherry and blueberry pie set out. "Hello? Come on out, it's safe." "Thank you." Mary said, pulling Esmerelda from behind the popcorn bowl. "This is the second time you've saved me. You'd better tie her up." "No need, if you do the tombstone right they never get up. My names Elvira." "I know, Jeremy told me." "You know him?" "I sat for him once." "Well that explains the height." "Oh, no it wasn't Jeremy. Georgia has... Georgia!" Elvira whirled at the warning to find herself facing Georgia. The wicked girl stood unsteadily on her feet, pointing a Buck Rogers style gun at her. "I don't know how you got to full size again, but you won't stay that way! First I shall shrink you, then the world!" As fast as Elvira was she was not fast enough to avoid a beam of energized particles. It hit her full in the chest, discharging the energy it carried to every cell in her body. For a moment Elvira danced as her nervous system was flooded with conflicting signals. As the energy faded Elvira felt the world twist, her vision dimmed. But when it was over she stood unchanged. "Impossible!" Georgia whispered. "No one can resist a direct does of Geta radiation. She looked dumbly at the gun until Elvira hit her in the face with the carrot cake. With cold deliberate steps Elvira walked toward the wicked girl. "How dare you!" Georgia snarled wiping her face off. "That," Elvira said with a deadly calm voice, "was your last cliche." Another kick sent Georgia into the fridge and Elvira hit her in the head with a frying pan as she rebounded off. Georgia fell to the floor and Elvira picked up the shrinking gun and let her have it. In a few seconds there was only a pile of cloths on the floor with a lump stirring in the middle. "Have to admit that felt pretty good." Elvira said, looking at the gun. I wonder if this is how Jeremy felt." "What was the gun set for?" Mary asked. Behind her Esmerelda started to wake up. "It has settings?" Elvira looked at the gun. Sure enough on the handle were two small dials. One was labeled inches, the other resembled a clock face. A small setting dial was on the one labeled in inches, while two surrounded the clock face. "Yea it does. From the looks of this thing she'll grow in about twelve hours. So we..." Elvira stopped as she realized Mary and Esmerelda were wrestling. Esmerelda was on top, holding Mary's wrist together above her head with one hand while her other hand squeezed Mary's breast. She was kissing Mary feverishly. "Whoa! You two want to be alone or something?" "Help!" Mary shouted. "She's been overcome by lust dust!" "If you say so." Elvira picked Esmerelda up and held her in one hand. "Hey!" As if Esmerelda didn't realize she was being held in a hand, the crazed superheroine had her legs wrapped around Elvira's thumb and were kissing the tip. "I told you." Mary said, standing up. "She's the victim of some terrible dust that Georgia cooked up." "Powerful stuff." Elvira admitted. Taking a clear plastic bowl off the shelf she put Esmerelda on table and put the bowl on top of her. Disappointed the trapped superheroine launched herself against the plastic, pressing her lips, breast and legs against it. "How long is she going to be like that?" "I don't know." "Let's find out." Elvira bent down and pulled a still dazed Georgia out of the tent her sweater had become. "So, how do we cool her down?" "You can't." Georgia said defiantly. "Not until she comes. And she'll go insane if you don't let her." "Well I can see why you'd need something like that." Elvira said. Naked the plainness of Georgia's body was tragically revealed. Bones could be seen through the yellow white skin and her breast seemed to point in different directions. "Impudent Slut! I am a Sylvester! My families beauty has always been in their heads!" "Okay let's prove that theory." Elvira said, holding the tiny wicked girl upside down. "Now, either you tell me there's another cure or... Now this brings back some memories." Elvira reached over and picked up the pack of dental floss from where it lay on the floor. She guessed it must have fallen out of Georgia's pocket. "You wouldn't dare!" Georgia screamed. "Superhero's don't do that!" "I'm not a superheroine," Elvira's tone grew hard, "I'm a babysitter." "Oh." Georgia turned white. "Dump her in cold water!" "Good." Elvira picked up Georgia's turtleneck and dumped the wicked girl into it. Then she tied the neck, arms and waist in knots and put it on the table. The sweater moved as the girl tried to find a way out. "Drop her in cold water." Elvira muttered. "Are all supervillains that un-original?" "Most of them." Mary admitted. Elvira walked over to the sink and turned on the cold water. "Hey!" she said, spotting a chocolate cake on the table beside sink. "Supervillains eat." she said, reaching over and dipping her finger into the chocolate. It was prime stuff. Elvira knew chocolate and this was good chocolate. She was reaching for another taste when a familiar feeling welled up inside her. "No." she started to say, but before the word was past her lips she had shrunk again. It had been quicker this time. The tightening of her stomach, a warmth flowing from between her legs, her breast getting hard, all of it taking less than a few moments. Still a little dizzy Elvira picked herself up off the floor. "Elvira!" Mary called. Elvira looked up to see Mary looking down at her from the top of the table. "Why did you shrink?" "I don't know!" Elvira shouted, falling down again. Her head started to pound. At the same time her body trembled. Elvira lay still, all the strength drained from her. She watched unable to move as Mary lowered the dental floss and climbed down to her. The closer Mary got, the bigger she seemed to get. At first Elvira thought it was simply because Mary was getting closer. Then she realized Mary actually was bigger. As the shrunken superheroine stood over Elvira's prostrate, form the babysitter realized she had gone from small to smaller. In shock, but feeling her body was safe once more, Elvira stood up. Her head reached Mary's waist, leaving the babysitter to stare at Mary's bush. "What the hell..." Elvira's voice trailed off even as her mind put the puzzle together. Georgia's shrinking gun must have had an effect on the nanites in her body. "I need Jeremy." Elvira said. "You can't grow on your own?" "It's a long story." Elvira said, turning away from her and looking up at the table. "Right now we better get to that gun and get you grown again." Elvira took hold of the dental floss and looped it around her waist. "Give me a ten fingered boost to start will ya?" "Sure." Mary bent down and clasped her fingers together. Carefully Elvira put her foot into the fingers. A moment later she shot up toward the tabletop. But she wasn't climbing. "Esmerelda no!" Mary shouted. Elvira looked up to see Esmerelda, an insanely lustful smile on her face, hauling up the rope. It was too late to do anything, Elvira realized she was too high up to let go. Worse Mary was cut off because Esmerelda was taking the rope up as well. "Oh girl." Elvira swore as she reached the edge of the table. Elvira had always thought that saying "Oboy" in times of crisis was sexist. Mary strained with all her might but she couldn't force the word Quantor out of her mouth. Nor could she climb the legs of the table, or any of the tables for that matter. They were smooth aluminum. All she could was stand and fume as the sounds of battle came from above. Elvira knew how to fight. She could fight on skates, she could fight in water, and she could fight almost anywhere. But she could not fight as well as an Amazon trained from birth. Wonder Lass blocked, parried or simply absorbed Elvira's best shots. It didn't help that Elvira was only half Esmerelda's size. Maybe I should just go with this, Elvira thought as Esmerelda sat on top of her and buried her face between the young girls legs. It was a 69 position, but Elvira fell face short on her part of the equation. She was only able to reach Esmerelda's belly button. "I hate outies." Elvira swore, squirming out from under the lust crazed superheroine. "And I am not going through with this!" It was doubtful Esmerelda even heard her words. If she did they didn't stop her from catching Elvira with a full tackle sending both of them over the edge of a pan and into a blueberry pie. Fighting Esmerelda had been hard enough on firm ground. Inside a blueberry pie it was impossible. Elvira was pinned under the larger girl, and the slippery blue berries and filling prevented her from getting any leverage to push the Amazon off. "Oh the hell with it!" Elvira swore and started to suck one of Esmerelda's breast. It was a few minutes before she realized it was a blueberry. In the meantime another of the blueberries was between Elvira's legs, blocking the entrance to her vagina. Esmerelda didn't seem to mind, she was nibbling the berry with gamesome enthusiasm. "Hell if we're going to do this we're going to do it right!" Elvira cursed. Squirming out from Esmerelda's grasp she half jumped/half fell on top of the Amazon. Pinning the girl down as much as she could Elvira planted both her knees on Esmerelda's shoulders. "Eat already!" she shouted. While the lust crazed Amazon obeyed that command Elvira tore off a piece of the pie crust and leaned back to use it on Esmerelda's own bush. Mary heard two shouts of wild pleasure and ran under the table just in time to avoid a full size Elvira as she hit the floor. The now normal sized babysitter lay there not moving. "Are you alright?" "Peachy." Elvira said wearily. Slowly she sat up. "Where's Esmerelda?" Elvira thought for a second, then opened her legs. Mary nearly fainted as, with a popping sound, a small Wonder Lass was pulled from Elvira's vagina. "I guess we won't need that cold water anymore." Elvira said. Well, the villain has been thwarted. The pies are all gone. Now Elvira can return to the safety(?) of Carrion Mansion. There Jeremy can tell her what effect Geta Radiation has on nanites. And why honey should be followed by Cherry, not Blueberry. End. *************** Elvira Peterson and the Witch's kids Episode fourteen: Fairy Hazards By Skytower "When I babysit I babysit alone. I like it that way, the kids like it that way, the parents who pay me like it that way. So everyone stay away and no one gets hurt. And this is to the tenth power when I'm at Carrion Mansion." Mindy had never taken her friend Elvira Peterson seriously when she said that. They were best friends after all. And anyway Elvira always exaggerated. Well almost always. It turned out that Elvira was dead serious. Jeremy and Helga Carrion were mad scientist. Jeremy had shrunk Elvira to doll size, while Helga had transformed Mindy into a fairy. Kidnapped by a group of mutated spider men, Mindy had barely avoided being sacrificed to their god. As we join her she has just flown out of the chimney. (c)1999 by Skytower Mindy shot out of the chimneystack of Carrion Mansion like she'd been shot out of a cannon. Wings flapping wildly against the both the wind and the webbing entangling them, the mutated young woman careened out of control as she tore at the webbing that still clung to her hair and face. It took only a few minutes for her wings to tire. Soon she started back down, lurching from wind current to wind current. Her arms and legs wildly flailing as she sought something to grab. Mindy missed with her arms and legs but hit something with her stomach. Like running into a solid bar she hit a power line. Instinctively she wrapped her arm around it, tucking the wire into her armpit and locking her hands together. For a long while Mindy hung there, not really sure where she was. Eventually the panic faded. Her senses started to filter through to her mind and the mind started to work once more. It was cold. Windy. The scent of rubber and car exhaust filled her nostrils. She could hear cars going by, and snatches of conversation. Lastly a creaking noise, irregular and mechanical. Slowly Mindy opened her eyes. Then quickly closed them again. After a moment she opened them and looked around once more. She was holding onto a power line above and intersection. Miles below (or so it seemed) cars the size of buildings sped past. The creaking sound was the traffic light swaying slowly in the wind. "I'm tiny." Mindy whispered, realizing that at a whisper even her voice was small. It had been different in the mansion, or even while she was captive of the spider men. But now she was outside. Mindy beheld the world as a sparrow would, and for the first time found herself wanting. Far away the solid cylindrical shape of the telephone pole, crossed with wooden beams to hold the wires, offered a small sanctuary. Her wings were still too tired to fly (how do I know that? she wondered. Do they feel tired... is it like my arms are tired?) so she started to inch her way to the pole arm over arm. As she crawled Mindy realized that her wings did feel like an arm or a leg. She could feel them, the wind on veins that ran through them, the slightly warmer parts where webbing still clung. They were a part of her. "Helga deserves an A+ on that potion." she gasped out, getting closer to the pole. When Mindy reached the pole she climbed onto the wooden crossbeam. Her newly elongated toes gripped the weathered grain easily. After a moment Mindy stood up, feeling the strength in them. A wind sprang up, for a moment bending her over, but she quickly straightened up. "Definitely an A+." she said. Spotting an bent nail sticking out of the main pole she walked over to it and turned around. Carefully she hooked the webbing onto the nail and slowly pulled it off. The webbing came off of her wings like a pair of wet slacks being pulled of her legs. Mindy used the nail to get the rest of the webbing off of her arms. Her hair was a different problem. The webbing was so enmeshed in it pulling out would take the hair with it. She settled for patting it into a sort of beehive hairdo. Now what, Mindy thought, looking around. She was at the corner of Le Morte avenue and Paradise Drive. To her north along Le Morte lay Carrion Mansion. Just looking at the semi-gothic structure chilled her. South along Le Morte would take her past the cemetery to the secret military base no one was supposed to know about. West along Paradise would take her toward the farm lands that surrounded the town. East would take her into town and home. "No way." Mindy said aloud. Her stepbrother had turned 15 only a few months ago, and turned into an obnoxious macho jerk. For some reason he hung out with a bunch of seniors, the worst of her high school. When they got together it was like being in a locker room. Mindy, tall blonde and voluptuous was a magnet for them. So far it was only minor harassment, some of her underwear missing, a peephole drilled into the bathroom wall. But that was only because she could pick the punk up and throw him against the wall. And in fact had done just that earlier that night. He had been trying to sneak a clock radio with a hidden camera into her room. That was the real reason for her visit to Carrion Mansion, despite Elvira's warnings. The atmosphere in her house was just too hot. She knew her mother loved her new husband, and she liked the guy. She had even liked her stepbrother until he started to act like bar scum. The argument that was going to happen could possibly tear the family apart. Mindy had wanted some back up before that happened. After making sure her stepbrother was just unconscious, not dead, she had left a quick note saying she was staying with Elvira and left. Unfortunately she had no idea that she'd end up the night being turned into a fairy. Going home was out of the question. She didn't even want to think about what her little brother could do to her now. Helga had shrunk her, and made her toes and hands a little different, and of course there was the wings. But other than that Mindy was still beautiful, with long blonde hair, large breast and hips, and a classically featured face. One boy, trying to be romantic, had called her a Norse goddess come to life. But that was then when she was at her normal 5 feet 11 inches. She was now tiny, vulnerable and naked. "Might was well paint a target on my chest or wear a red shirt on Star Trek." Mindy said, hugging herself. That left only the farms, or the military base. Carrion Mansion was not an option in Mindy's opinion. A dog the size of a horse trotted by bellow her, sniffed at the telephone pole and passed on. Mindy realized the farms weren't a good place to go either. And the military base was pure suicide. "El where are you." Mindy whined, leaning back against the pole. Quickly she pulled away from it the wood was rough on her wings. "She'll head home." Mindy said, thinking of her friend. "As soon as she gets out of what ever fix she's in she'll head home. Her sister knows about the shrinking, she'll put me up for the night." She looked down at herself. "And maybe have a spare Malibu Stacy outfit. Damn it, damn it, damn it! This is worse than when El talked me into streaking." Steeling herself Mindy leapt off the pole and into the air. For a few heart-wrenching moments she didn't know how to fly, then something in her took over. Her legs spread out, the feet going straight and the toes spreading out as well. Her arms hung at her sides loosely. The arms and legs combined to keep her steady and Mindy found she could control her direction by moving them. Her body was tilted down at a 60 degree angle from the base of her wings. The wings didn't move straight up and down from her back, rather they moved in a rowing type of motion. Up, down at an angle and then back, keeping her aloft and providing forward motion at the same time. While a part of Mindy's mind kept her going in the right direction, following the streets she had known all her life, another part of her was reveling in the flight. It was a cool night, and she could feel the wind flowing over ever part of her body. It caressed her, like a summer shower, or a gust of wind from a fan. The longer she flew the more natural it became to fly. Natural, but tiring. After a few blocks her body started to ache. It was almost like she'd been swimming too long. Desperate to avoid landing on the street Mindy slowly spiraled onto the branch of a tree. She lay on her stomach on the branch, taking in gulps of air. "Well, I guess they are only a few hours old." Mindy said. Her voice sounded good to her, an assurance that she was till Mindy. "How did El handle this? How does she keep handling it... bad enough in a house, but..." Mindy trailed off, looking at everything. Again it was thrust upon her how small she was. Sighing Mindy rested her head against the branch. Instantly she was lost in a wondrous world. Mindy felt the world ripple around her, then fade. She felt herself as a seed, burst open. She felt the sun for the first time as she broke through the ground. Glorious warmth and light. She felt herself go from soft to hard, felt leaves blossom and fall off, felt the small animals as they played, ate and loved on her. It was a dream, but one of those dreams you know is not really a dream. "Yipe!" Mindy shouted, bolting up. Slowly she raised her hands to her face. She knew what would be there. With her fingers Mindy traced the antenna from her temples as they curved around her face, then extended from above the center of each eye. Delicate, yet strong at the same time. She willed them to move. They moved. Mindy ran her hands along them, feeling both her fingers touching the antenna and the antenna touching her fingers. The skin was the same as hers, soft and silky. The tips were like the nipples of her breast. Indeed she felt an erotic thrill go through her body. The antennas were just long enough to see if she craned her eyes. "A plus with extra credit." Mindy whispered. A sound caught her attention. The sound of wings in flight, heard not with her ears, but through the vibrations in the air. Vibrations her antenna picked up because she was concentrating on them. Mindy looked up and in the ashen glare of a streetlight saw them. At first her mind refused to believe it, even after all she'd been through. But there they were. Three of the spider men, each mounted on a flying rat. There are times when conscious thought is simply not an option. When even fear gives way to pure instinct. Mindy's instinct was to get as far away from the spider men as fast as possible. She launched herself into the air and took off in the direction she was facing. With a yell the spider men gave chase. Mindy flew desperately, wildly. Changing direction nearly every moment, following the random impulses of fate and chance. It didn't take her long to realize that it wasn't working. Her pursuers had fanned out into a wide triangle. Slowly they were forcing her into the center. They're boxing me in, Mindy thought. At the same time the young girl became aware of how she could tell where the spider men were without looking behind her. Some how her antennas were giving her all the information she needed. It wasn't quite vision, nor was it really hearing. The sensation was like when she was swimming under water with her eyes closed and someone swam close to her. Still for all the novelty of her new senses the information they were supplying was terrifying. Two of the spider men had cast a web net between them. If she was caught in that net there would be no escape. And they were gaining on her. Despite the terror fueling her flight Mindy was beginning to tire. Her wings were aching once more. Pushing herself Mindy managed to get a little more speed, but only for a few moments. The ache in her wings changed to actual pain. She was slowing. Behind her the spider men howled with joy. Their joy was cut short as Mindy suddenly dove. A bus was just pulling away from a stop light, picking up speed. With everything she had left Mindy dove for it. Behind her the spider men dropped the net and reached for bows. In seconds small missiles were whizzing around her. Mindy dodged them and made it to the bus, grabbing hold of the handle of the trap door on the top. Just as it pulled away she felt a stab of agony from her leg. One of the arrows had made it. The pain shattered her mind and she blacked out. Mindy woke to the sound of arrows hitting the metal around her. She was still on the bus, her hands locked into a death grip on the handled of the trap door. Five or six arrows were in the metal around her. Mindy's stomach flipped as she saw the arrow sticking out of her leg. Almost fearfully she touched it, only to jerk her hand away at the pain. It was like having a splinter resting on a raw nerve. Steadying herself Mindy reached for the arrow again. Her fingers trembled uncontrollably as she they neared the wooden shaft. Tears flowed from her eyes. Swallowing the bile that rose in her throat she grabbed the arrow and jerked it out. She didn't scream. Mindy was proud of herself for that. Nor did she black out again, though to stay conscious was a struggle. Mindy looked at the arrow, marveling at the fact that it had been inside of her only a few moments before. It was wood, smoothly made with small runes burned into the shaft. A silver liquid stained it. Mindy looked down at her leg, knowing what she'd see. The wound in her leg was bleeding silver blood. She had silver blood. Silver with specks of gold. The shock was enough to make her giggle as her mind edged toward the abyss of insanity. The sight of the would sealing itself along with the fact that the pain faded as it did kept her sane. Mindy took a deep breath and tried to steady herself. "A plus with high honors." Mindy said, choking the words out. She looked up at the spider men, reaching out with her enhanced senses. Her sight zoomed in like a camera. The spider men rode the rats without harness or bridle. They merely grasped the sides of their mounts with the tips of their feet. Mindy could hear the labored breathing of their mounts as they struggled to keep up with the bus. Either her hunters had abandoned trying to shoot her or they were out of arrows. Judging by the amount of arrows stuck into the metal around her Mindy guessed they were out of arrows. The rats, they were rats Mindy could tell that despite the wings were fat. The animals were too fat to fly really. Their arms and legs ended in fans, as did their tails. With the fans they rowed through the air, effortlessly. They each had sickly yellow eyes that glowed with corruption. "Impossible." Mindy said. Having flown herself Mindy knew it wasn't as easy as the old cartoons thought it was. You had to keep yourself in the air, you couldn't glide through it indefinitely. Even she, magically transformed as she was, had to obey the laws of aerodynamics. She studied the rats for a while, loosing herself in the puzzle while at the same time hopping the bus was an express. If it stopped they'd be on her. "We have seen that the flight of dragons must have depended on their ability to make their bodies weightless, or almost weightless in air. To do this they needed to fill large cavities-cavities which in fact composed the major part of their body-structure-with a lighter than air gas." The voice was Mindy's and it came from a memory of reading Dickinson's book on Draconian Studies. Mindy remembered the argument she'd had with Mr. Larson the science teacher about them. He'd ridiculed her arguments in front of the whole class and had been well on the way to reducing her to tears when Elvira... Mindy shuddered and put the memory from her mind. Concentrate on the moment, she told herself. The spider men are out of arrows and you're fighting zeppelins. The bus slowed to a stop and Mindy took off again, only a small part of a plan in her mind. She flew up, not straight up, but up at an ever increasing angle. Behind and below her the spider men sounded a horn and urged their mounts onward. The rats expanded, growing fatter as they rose. Mindy didn't know how high she could go (for that matter she wasn't sure she wanted to find out), but she guessed the rats could go higher. She didn't know if they could go faster, but after a few minutes she realized they could. Almost double their original size the rats climbed higher with each beat of their wings. She could hear them snarl with hatred and blood lust. The spider men had cast another net and they too yelled with savage need. "If I can't go up..." Mindy said. Turning she dived with all her might. The web net lay before her, a deadly bed of deceptively soft silk. At the last instant Mindy closed her wings to her body and dived through. The webbing caught at her skin and wings and held, but her momentum pulled it, pulling the rats together. Being essentially balloons, Mindy guessed they wouldn't hold formation if she pulled hard enough. She was right and the rats were pulled into each other. Wings tangled and the spider men strove in vain to control their mounts, as the rats turned on each other in primitive fury. They lost their grips on the net and Mindy dove once more. But the webbing was fouling her wings and the transformed young girl could manage no more than a barely controlled glide. A glide that was moving her closer and closer to the ground with each second. Can Mindy halt her fall? If so can she escape the spider men? And if she can do both will Elvira's little sister have a spare Malibu Stacy outfit? Meanwhile what are Jeremy and Helga up to? Stay tuned. *************** Elvira Peterson and the Witch's kids Episode fifteen: Strange Encounters in High School By Skytower "When I babysit I babysit alone. I like it that way, the kids like it that way, the parents who pay me like it that way. So everyone stay away and no one gets hurt. And this is to the tenth power when I'm at Carrion Mansion." Mindy had never taken her friend Elvira Peterson seriously when she said that. They were best friends after all. And anyway Elvira always exaggerated. Well almost always. It turned out that Elvira was dead serious. Jeremy and Helga Carrion were mad scientist. Jeremy had shrunk Elvira to doll size, while Helga had transformed Mindy into a fairy. Kidnapped by a group of mutated spider men, Mindy had barely avoided being sacrificed to their god. She escaped into the night but they followed on flying rats. Mindy managed to escape from them, but not before tangling her wings with webbing. As we join the transformed girl she is falling to Earth. (c)1999 By Skytower Mindy McConnell liked to swim, but she hated to dive. Mindy had often told her best friend Elvira that you could never be sure if the water would be there between the time you left the board and the time you were actually supposed to hit it. Truthfully her worst nightmare was falling into a deep black pit and never hitting the bottom. Her current situation came as close to her nightmare as she ever wanted to. Her wings were tangled in a silken web, she was barely able to keep them straight, much less move them. Panic was eating at the edges of her mind, making it even harder to turn her fall into a glide. But she was doing it anyway. Slowly she caught the air currents, turning, bending and twisting her way into a long easy slope. It worked and she started to relax. Until she realized there was a large building in her way. Mindy didn't know how strong her new body was, she'd only had it a few hours after all. A few hours during which she had been drugged, nearly sacrificed and chased by flying rats. To end that by slamming into a building like Wyle E. Coyote, was not something the transformed girl was going to let happen. With strength born partly of anger, partly of fear she willed her wings to move. Mindy cleared the edge of the building by millimeters, twisting her body like a pole-vaulter. Once she was clear her wings gave out entirely and she landed on the roof, rolling until her momentum gave out. At that point Mindy wanted nothing more from life than to lay down and rest. She had felt pain from each of the beach ball sized gravel rocks as she rolled. Her wings were so sore it hurt to think about them. But it wasn't over yet, she had to get under cover. Struggling to her feet Mindy staggered over to a partially open skylight. The skylight had a rubber border and the transformed young girl fell against it and lay there, gasping for air. She tried to get up, but her body simply refused to move. All it did in response to her minds frantic commands was tremble. Giving up Mindy slumped down, resting her head on the rubber. At least she was off the gravel. It took a few minutes for Mindy to get her wind back. While she did her antenna searched the air. They found nothing. Either the spider men and their mounts had crashed or they were being very quiet. Okay, she thought, they're gone. Now where am I? There was no way to recall the path she had flown, it had been random and Mindy had not been in a mood to take down notes. A wave of panic rose in her. What if she was lost? The panic met her exhaustion and was defeated. There was no way she could be in a worse situation than being caught by the spider men. Slowly Mindy got to her knees, then to her feet. She looked around, not recognizing anything. It was a dark rooftop. Over the edge shown the streetlights, but below the edge were only dark and darker forms. Mindy turned around and looked into the skylight. "Hoo-yah!" she whispered. Her stomach tightened, her wings quivered and she could feel her antenna stiffen. She was on top of her own high school. Below her was the gym showers. They were in use by the basketball team. Her present predicament, her pain and everything else faded from Mindy's mind. There were about twenty of them, all in the shower, all naked. Nary a jock strap, underwear nor even a towel was to be seen. Mindy walked the hallways with these boys all the time, talked to some of them. Now... "Wow!" Never had she seen so many penis (penis's? peni? A part of her wondered what the right way to say it was) in one place. "They do flop around when guys walk." Mindy said. "That's ten bucks you owe me El." Slowly Mindy climbed through the skylight and slid down a pipe to stand on the top of a fluorescent light fixture. She stared down at them, marveling at the sheer quantity of flesh. It wasn't as if she hadn't seen a naked guy before, she had cable after all. But these were guys she knew, classmates, occasional teammates. To see them like this, now, was a complete shock. Mindy normally stood at five feet eleven inches, in high school she usually didn't have to look up at a boy. But now... "Inches to feet!" she whispered. Her mind dead to everything but what her eyes saw Mindy watched the boys' shower. When the last one left she walked to the edge of the fixture. From there Mindy was able to see them dry off and get dressed. Somehow seeing the guys dress was more exiting to her than seeing them naked. Mindy had to fight the feelings in her body, at one point she almost cried out. Controlling herself the transformed young girl hoped her passion was the result of Helga's potion. "Mindy McConnel is mine tomorrow." someone declared. Curious Mindy edged over a bit more to see who was talking. "Not gonna happen." someone argued. Just around the corner were Oliver Douglas and Arnold Zyphyl. "I'm telling you Mindy is mine tomorrow night." He's dreaming, Mindy thought. "You're dreaming." Arnold confirmed. Oliver flexed his muscles as if posing for a playgirl shot. He had a good body. Actually Mindy had to admit he had a great body. He stood 6 feet tall, slim and well chiseled. Dark brown hair, square jaw, hazel eyes and good white teeth. And seeing him naked Mindy realized his boast of penis size was not really exaggerated. Oliver was physically perfect. Trouble was, as Elvira often said, he had the mind of Andrew Dice Clay. "Hey, I got her brother, I got her." They both laughed. "Yea." Arnold said. Though not as good looking as Oliver, he had a brooding, dangerous type of face. Black hair, gray eyes, more of a round jaw and a body that was nearly as chiseled as his friends. His penis was a bit smaller, Mindy noticed, despite his claims. "I still can't get the look on that snot's face when he pulled the trigger." Trigger? "Yea." Oliver said. "I watched the tape the other night." he mocked shooting a gun with a scared face. "Blam, blam." "Cops are still trying to figure out who put wholes in their car." They both laughed while a cold fury built up in Mindy. She'd had her problems with Robin, but she never thought he was this bad. Her mother was going to hear about this. "I still say the little punk is not going to give you his sister." "Hey, he got the bra didn't he? He tried to put that camera in the ceiling." "Yea, I don't know who he was more scared of that day, you or his sister." They both nearly broke down laughing and Mindy had to grasp the light fixture with both hands to keep focused. It wasn't only Arnold and Oliver, it was the fact that all around them were boys. Boys she once thought of as friends, or at least not enemies. All of them were listening, but none of them were protesting. She doubted this was the first time Oliver and Arnold had mouthed off. Not one person had warned her. "Her then, me now." Oliver said. "And this time I gave him the clock camera. He puts it in for a weekend, I take the pictures out, and she's mine. Or she's on the net." "So that's it." Mindy whispered, suddenly understanding her stepbrother a little better. She traced his obnoxious behavior back and suddenly remembered one night he'd snuck home a little drunk. It had been a few days after she'd cut Oliver down to size in the school lunchroom. They had been on one date, or rather she'd been on a date, from the way he told it he'd been to the Playboy mansion. Mindy had cut him to shreds and left everyone laughing at him. "Got to watch out for her pal." Arnold said. "Remember Elvira." "That dyke." Oliver said, dismissing Elvira with a wave of his hand. "Hey she's dangerous. You weren't here last year when she took on Sam Drucker." Arnold let out a long breath. "I never saw anyone do that with a hockey skate before." "Hey." Oliver said, combing his hair. "Not only will I get the big Mindy, I'll use her to get Elvira. Show her what a real man is." With a cold fury Mindy watched them finish dressing and leave. The rage stayed with her as the other boys dressed and left. She watched until they were all gone, everything else forgotten. It was only after the last one had gone and the door closed did Mindy's mind start working again. "Idiot!" she cursed. Luckily the steam from all the showers had melted most of the webbing and Mindy was able to clear her wings with her hands. Her wings felt fine so at least she seemed to recover quickly. Once she was sure they were strong enough took off and looked for another way out of the room. There wasn't any, at least none she could use. The doors were too big to open. The heating vent was screened. All the windows except the skylight were closed. She was trapped. "What to do?" she asked the empty room, sitting down on a bench and hugging herself. Somehow hearing her own voice was reassuring. Rage competed with worry in her mind. With an effort she put down the rage, there would be time enough to deal with Oliver Douglas when she was tall enough to tear his head off. Mindy closed her eyes and took ten deep breaths. Then she opened them again. "Well, I could try El's way of growing. But no, even if it worked I'd still be trapped. Worse I'd be trapped, naked in the boys showers." she shuddered. "I could try to stick it out here until Monday. Then I'd be small and naked and in the boys shower. Damn him, if he was in that sort of trouble he could have come to me. Now Oliver will tear him to shreds. Unless I get big again, somehow." Mindy stood up and looked at the skylight. She had to get to Elvira's house, spider men or no. Steeling her self, Mindy leapt up and flew to the skylight. Cautiously she peered through the opening. The spider men were there. On the far ledge two of them tended to the rats, who looked slightly the worse for wear. The fight had hurt them, Mindy saw one of the spider men wrap webbing around a wound on the rats side. The third spider man walked slowly across the roof. Head bent to the gravel he used a match to light his way. He was tracking her Mindy realized, and from the way he picked up a piece of gravel and studied it, she guessed he was good at it. With a call the spider man beckoned his companions over to him. They left the rats to crowd around the rock he held. Suddenly each of them turned and looked at a different part of the roof. Not at her, Mindy realized, but at the south end of the building. Something scampered over there, she could see a small form in the shadows. With a yell the spider men were off. Once she was sure they weren't going to look back Mindy took off. Her plan was to fly high enough to get a direct line of sight to Elvira's house, then glide her way there. "Sorry mouse." she whispered, fighting down her guilt. "Owe...Help..." Mindy stopped in mid climb. That was no mouse. She looked back, her antenna giving her a vague image of what was happening in the shadows. The spider men had a small human figure down and were wrapping him or her up. "How many shrunken people are there in this town?" Mindy asked before diving into the melee. That she was charging into the very trio that had terrified her a few moments ago was completely lost on the young girl. Elvira called it; "Just being Mindy." Mindy was the type of person who picked worms up off the sidewalk after it rained and put them back on the grass. She had once charged a bulldozer, goalie stick in hand, when the driver seemed uncaring of the rabbit family he was displacing. She wasn't afraid of them anymore. She was mad at them. Fear turned to rage was a deadly equation in Mindy. In the few seconds it took her to reach the spider men that rage consumed her. Giving her best; "Callisto" roar she attacked. The spider men started to turn when they heard the screech, but by then she was on them. Her elongated toes curled into a tight fist, she hit the first one at the point where his arachnid and human halves merged. He went down convulsing but Mindy never saw it, she was onto the second target. A full chop to the throat followed by a stab at his eyes sent the spider man staggering back. The third spider man grabbed her wings and twisted, forcing Mindy to her knees. Enraged she kicked back and felt him give way. Spinning around she kicked him where the webbing came out, then slammed her palm into his nose. There was a satisfying crack and he staggered back, but only for a moment. Ignoring the pain he charged her. At the same time another foe grabbed her legs. Mindy fell over backward and each of the spider men grabbed for a limb. The young girl snarled and embraced the wolverine like rage within her. Her fingers seemed to turn to claws as they tore at her foes. A leg came near her face and she lurched forward and bit into it. Mindy was fighting blind in he half darkness but it didn't matter. Somehow she knew the spider men didn't have a chance. She might have been wrong of course. It might have been the battle rage, but the battle was cut off before she found out. A horn sounded, freezing them all. The spider man who hadn't joined the battle was standing on the edge of the building. Again he sounded his horn. There was a more desperate note to it now. At once the spider men abandoned Mindy and scuttled across the roof to their mounts. In less than 30 seconds they were dwindling in the distance. Mindy lay on the ground taking in deep gulps of air, her rage fading. In its place was a cold sinking feeling. "I've never been that mad before." Mindy whispered feeling her whole body tremble. "Helga what did you do to me?" It had to have been the potion, Mindy couldn't believe she could get that mad on her own. She hadn't even been that mad at Oliver. Slowly she sat up, taking stock. Though she couldn't see them Mindy could tell there were deep welts over every part of her body that could be hurt. Idly she wondered what had scared the spider men. "Well they are kinda small." she said, standing up. Standing up reminded Mindy that she was just as small. Suddenly, fearfully, she searched the night sky. Nothing could be seen. "Help... please." "Oh yea." Mindy trotted over to the fallen figure. "It's ok." she said. "Those guys are gone. She was a girl, Mindy could tell that from the voice. "I can't feel my legs." the girl said, some panic in her voice. "Yea, it's that webbing stuff, it acts like novocaine." Mindy helped her sit up. The girl was surprisingly light. Or maybe I'm stronger now, Mindy reflected silently. "I think it'll dissolve in water." "Good, I got a pool downstairs, sort of." "A pool? Can't be the high school pool, that's been closed every since that big monster..." "Mindy?" the girl asked, interrupting her. "Yea, do I know you?" "It's me Calliope." "Umm..." "Calliope McCoy, I sit behind you in Miss Brooks advanced English class. "Ahh..." Mindy desperately search her memory. She'd gotten into the advanced English class to learn creative writing. It was mixed class, full of kids two years younger and a year older than she was. Into her mind popped the picture of a petite Asian handing her a pencil. "Oh yea, Calliope." "That was great the way you handled those spider things. How'd you get turned into a fairy?" "I helped Elvira on a babysitting job." "Whoa, that's dangerous." "No kidding." Mindy said. "How'd you get shrunk?" "My evil aunt cursed me." Calliope said matter-of-factly. "We better get inside, that horn sounding means there's an owl on the prowl." "Right. How?" "Over there," Calliope said, "at the base of the air vent." Mindy picked the small girl up in her arms and walked over to the vent. Calliope rested her head against Mindy's breast, sighing gratefully. "Well we're here." Mindy said, stopping in front of the vent. At her size it looked an atlas rocket. "Bang on it twice." Calliope said. Mindy did so and a small door opened up. Peering in Mindy saw a set of Christmas tree lights and a rope ladder. "How long have you been doing this?" Mindy asked, surprise plain in her voice. "About two years." Calliope snuggled in closer and Mindy began to get a little uncomfortable. The girl seemed to be deliberately rubbing against her chest. And for some reason her chest was responding. "Can you handle the ladder?" "No need." Stepping in the vent Mindy flapped her wings and they slowly descended. She was showing off and she knew it, but she couldn't help it. "How far down?" "Just follow the lights." It only took a few minutes for the two tiny girls to travel through the vents. Mindy stayed silent, concentrating on her flying. Calliope seemed almost to purr in her arms. The Christmas tree lights ended at another small door. Mindy pushed it open and glided into her science class. If nothing else had brought the surrealism of her situation home to Mindy this did. She had walked into science class nearly every school day for three years. It was a normal room, with long tables topped with black stone. Stools substituted for chairs. The walls were dull gray with streaks of rust and water damage. A cracked blackboard ran the length of the room. Windows with wire lined glass looked out on the schoolyard. At the front of the room was the teachers table and behind that a door into her office. In the back of the room were small cubbyholes, some with doors, some without. On every table were at least one Bunsen burner and assorted bottles and flask. Mindy had never really given the room a second glance, despite her fondness for science. But now the room dwarfed her. The tables were football fields set on highway supports, the stools looked like giant radio antennas. Worn wood floors that she had walked over without a thought stretched out before her like the Great Plains. Mindy swallowed. "The table in the front." Calliope said. Flying through the room was somehow more reassuring to the transformed young girl. Possibly it was because she flew at what would have been eye level. She landed on the table to find a mini deck chair, small lcd tv and a Ritz cracker the size of a birthday cake. Mindy carried Calliope past all of these to the tables built in sink. A dripping faucet let drop after drop into the sink. It was half full and with each drop a pool chair in it bobbed up and down. Without a word Mindy dropped Calliope into the water and then sat down, her mind handling the next shock. Calliope was not human, at least not fully human. Though Mindy only had a vague recollection of the person who sat behind her in English class, she knew for a fact that that person did not have a tail. Nor did she have large mouse-like ears. But Calliope did. Mindy watched her swim, transfixed by the... What was she? Calliope had raven black hair that was cut into a sort of Beatles like mop top with straight bangs above her eyes. Her eyes were slanted, Mindy remembered she was Asian in her human form, but wider than a normal persons. She had a little bit of a snout, with a cute little pink nose. All of this was on a round cheerful face. Her body was wide, with small breast with pointy little nipples (which Mindy could see when Calliope removed the nicely embroidered vest she had been wearing) and short legs. Her hands and feet were not quite human, being longer and... well mouse-like. Calliope's tail was almost as long as her legs, black and seemingly covered with velvet. When she did the backstroke Mindy saw a neat triangle of black hair between her legs. "You ok?" Calliope asked, noticing that Mindy was staring at her. "What are you?" Mindy blurted out, not able to take her eyes off the small swimming creature. "I'm a were-mouse, Duh." "Oh." "Come on in, you look like you could use a bath too." "Uh, no thanks, I don't think the wings were made for swimming." "Oh yea. Hey I got an idea." Calliope swam over to the side and pulled her self up onto the table. Carefully keeping her tail off the tabletop, she walked over to the faucet and pushed a few buttons. The water started to drain from the sink while the faucet turned on to a light sprinkle. "We'll just give the water time to drain." "How'd you become a were-mouse?" "Oh, well about two years ago my dad, he's an inventor, was working on his time machine and he needed some money. So he calls his sister and she's like really into the idea, but when it works she only wants to go back and pick up the Mona Lisa, or some crown jewels or junk like that. My dad says no and she and him and my mom have this really huge fight. My aunt locks them both in the machine and takes them back to dinosaur days, but then when she gets back it breaks on her. So she figures I might cause trouble so she curses me, and now every month instead of getting my period I change into a were-mouse for a week or two. My aunts like WAY evil. Waters drained." Mindy's mouth hung open in shock. Both at the way Calliope described the events, as if they happened to everyone, and that she went through the entire story without taking a breath. "Come on." Calliope said, pulling her into the sink. With the water gone Mindy could see there was a plastic strip forming a ramp to the bottom of the sink. As she walked Mindy realized it was a ruler. "We should get that web stuff out of your hair before it gets really gross." "Don't you miss your parents?" "Sure, but my dad was the only one who knew about the time machine." Calliope pulled Mindy under the water. "And my mom always told me to go with the flow, things'll get better. Besides I like being a mouse sometimes." "You do?" "Uh-huh. Man this stuff is gooey. Wait here." Feeling the water on her wings was a totally new experience for Mindy. She felt her wings stiffen then spread out. It felt a little like being sprayed with a garden hose on an extremely soft, though coarse, setting. She could feel every drop. Surprisingly it didn't feel that bad. "Here we go." Calliope said, coming back down the ramp. She held something cupped in her hands. "Kneel down will ya?" She knelt and Calliope opened her hands to let the shampoo flow into her hair. Mindy closed her eyes as the were-mouse began to massage the liquid into her hair. "I usually keep this around for myself, you can't imagine how hard it is to keep a tail clean." "Mmmn." Mindy hummed. She was starting to feel strange. Her stomach tightened, her mouth went dry. She could feel her antenna begin to stiffen. Of their own accord her arms came up and rested on Calliope's thighs. A wave of lust was rising in her, but Mindy felt no need to control it. Her mind had fogged over, as if she was half-asleep and having an erotic dream. "Let's rinse." Calliope said, pulling Mindy fully under the water stream. Mindy stumbled forward, feeling the full power of the water hit her wings. She felt the webbing and shampoo flow off of her head and body. When the transformed girl looked back up at Calliope there was a strange look in her eyes. "These are nice." Calliope said, fingering Mindy's antenna. An erotic thrill went through Mindy's body. "Yea." she agreed quietly. Calliope ran her fingers to the base of the antenna, then reached over and kissed them. Mindy gave a soft moan as the were-mouse took one of the antennas into her mouth. Her wings quivered. Calliope's tail reached around and began to rub against Mindy's vagina. Not willing to let her do all the work Mindy took Calliope's breast into her mouth, running her tongue over the nipple. Interlocked the two of them stumbled up the ramp to land on the towel. By that time Calliope was taking one of Mindy's antenna into her mouth as if she was giving a blow job. (and a part of Mindy wondered if this was what that felt like) While her other hand was stroking the other antenna up and down and playing with the tip. Mindy had one of Calliope's breast almost all the way into her mouth and was playing with the nipple. Her hand kneaded mouse's other breast while her other hand gently probed Calliope's pussy. Meanwhile Calliope's tail had found it's way into Mindy's own pussy and was playfully searching for a sensitive spot. When the tail found the spot Mindy's mind exploded. It wasn't an orgasm as she had known them, the feeling went far beyond that. It was as if the entire cosmos was laid out at her feet. Mindy spent days exploring the beauty of creation, then returned to her body. Easing Calliope down Mindy pulled her antenna from the were-mouses mouth and slowly dragged them down Calliope's body. Calliope lay on the towel, her tail whipping back and forth. Her hands reached up to caress her own breast. Mindy eased the were-mouses legs open and slowly bent toward the black bush of hair. She didn't lick, as Calliope expected, rather she pried the pussy lips apart and eased one of her antenna into the opening. Now it was Calliope's turn to experience unity with the universe. Her body was paralyzed with pleasure, only her tail quivering. First Mindy used one antenna, then the other. Pulling them in and out to the rhythms that only she and Calliope could sense. Mindy felt the were-mouses juices flow, and her antenna translated that feeling into near taste levels. Even stiff the antennas were incredibly maneuverable. Mindy searched Calliope's womb even as she pulled the antenna in and out. After a blissful time Mindy pulled her wet antenna out of Calliope's vagina and worked her way back up the were-mouses body. Calliope needed no urging once the antenna were within reach of her mouth. First she sucked one, then the other. Her tail once again penetrated Mindy's pussy, even as Mindy's elongated fingers reached into hers. Mindy's wings started to flap, raising a whirlwind all around them. The towel rose around them and fell back, matching their rhythm. When at last both women crested Mindy's wings pulled them a foot above the table. They hovered there for a time, dangling on the ledge of infinity. Then slowly Mindy lowered them as their euphoric souls returned to their bodies. Well, now that Mindy has had a break, what will she do now? She still has to get to Elvira's house, get a new outfit, get back to Carrion Mansion, grow, talk to her little brother and tear Oliver's arms off and beat him to death with them. Plus it would be a good idea to avoid Calliope's; "WAY evil"; aunt. *********** Elvira Peterson and the Witch's kids Episode sixteen: Subway Revelations By Skytower Mindy had caught her brother trying to hide a hidden camera in her room. After throwing him against a wall she had sought the advice of Elvira Peterson. Unfortunately Elvira was babysitting at Carrion Mansion. Caught by Uncle Frank the Invisible Tickler, Mindy was freed only to be changed into a fairy by Helga Carrion. Captured by spider men Mindy was nearly sacrificed, but escaped. Pursued by them to her high school Mindy battled the spider men to save Calliope McCoy, a young were-mouse. After the fight Calliope took Mindy to the science room. There Calliope helped Mindy was away the dirt and webbing from the fight. During the bathing the two also made love. (c)1999 by Skytower Mindy McConnell awoke slowly, with an internal argument raging with in her. I am not gay, she told herself. You've just made love to a girl, herself answered. She's a were-mouse, not a human, at least not now. So you've made love outside your species, herself replied, do you really want to go there? I've made love to a woman, Mindy agreed. But I'm a fairy now, so it's ok. Right. The sarcastic tone of her self angered Mindy. Look it had to have been because I'm a fairy, I've never had these feelings before. Never? Well, okay, but I was trapped naked on an alien spaceship with Pam Anderson, and she was naked too, and Elvira agreed with me, there's no way I could have avoided those feelings in that sort of situation. You enjoyed it, herself said, playing the trump card in their argument. That was true, Mindy had to admit that. The levels of amour she reached with Calliope were miles beyond anything she had ever felt. Mindy had known passion in her life. She'd had boyfriends, had sex with two of them (or one of them, the other one was an alien in disguise and, as stated, Mindy wasn't going to go there), but the sheer animal lust she'd felt with the were-mouse... If you could have plugged us in you would have lit up the country, Mindy thought. So maybe I do have those feelings for some women now that I'm a fairy. Good, herself said approvingly. Now wake up. "What?" Mindy mumbled, that last part hadn't sounded like her. She also wasn't mumbling because she was sleepy, someone had a hand over her mouth. Mindy came awake and started to sit up, only to be held by Calliope. The were- mouse put her tail in front of her mouth, signaling quiet. Then she used it to point to the window. Mindy looked over to see shapes crawling along the glass. "Those spider guys must really want you." Calliope whispered, motioning Mindy over to the edge of the table. Calliope was wearing a pair of blue shorts with matching halter. Calliope was almost human, but her mouse like ears, small snout with cute little nose and her tail proved she was a were-mouse. Her Asian style eyes looked at Mindy with respect. "I've never seen them chance an owl before." "They think sacrificing me can bring back their god." Mindy whispered, following her. Mindy was taller than Calliope, her body a full feature of societies standards of beauty. Wide hips, large breast with large nipples, long blonde hair and blue eyes. "Wow! Would it work?" "No!" Mindy started to shout then held her voice down. "No, their god isn't even a god, it's some crazy aunt." "Oh." Calliope sounded disappointed. "Well as long as their out there we'll have to use the subway." "Why do we have to go, can they get in here?" Mindy had always felt safe in school, risking another trip outside frightened her. "You want to take a chance that they can't?" "No." Mindy said after a pause. Then Calliope's words came back to her. "What subway?" "Come on, I'll show you." Nimbly Calliope climbed down the table leg. Mindy followed, uncertain but unwilling to let her only ally in this shrunken world out of her sight. As naturally as walking she flew down to the floor. Calliope led them across the room to a loose section of the baseboard. Pushing at one spot revealed a doorway. Only darkness lay beyond until the were-mouse reached in and pushed a button. A line of Christmas tree lights led the way. They revealed a dusty corridor, lined with old dry wooded beams, plaster that seemed to ooze through worn strapping boards and large spike like nails. Eerily lit up with the bright holiday colors of green, red and blue. Mindy took an involuntary step backward. The corridor reminded her of some distorted carnival funhouse. "Come on." Calliope said, taking her hand. "The mice won't bother us." While the mention of mice disturbed Mindy it was the slight tapping on the window that decided her. Wings quivering with fright she allowed the were-mouse to lead her into the wall. "You built this?" Mindy asked as they walked. "Nah, some little striped guys used to live here, until they fixed their space ship." "Space ship?" "Yea." They had stopped at another door. Calliope pulled it open revealing an old fashioned mine shaft elevator. "You remember last year when we had that big earthquake?" "Do I." Mindy exclaimed, following her into the elevator. She had been in the girl's shower at the time along with the rest of the hockey team. The mass exodus, sans clothing, that resulted from that day was legendary in school history. "That was them?" "Yea, they used some sort of warp/displacement drive, it looked really pretty." Calliope closed the door and pushed the bottom button on a panel. Smoothly the elevator descended. "It really shook things up though." "Great, more aliens." Mindy muttered, wondering how many more extra terrestrials had visited her town. "What?" "Nothing." Mindy said quickly. That she had made love to an alien was one of Mindy's deepest secrets. "So your saying little blue aliens built an subway under the ground? And their spaceship was under our high school?" "Yep. Well actually they were here first. A couple of hundred years ago their ship crashed into an old pagan temple. There was so much damage the ships computer put the crew into stasis while it's auto repair got to work. But when they built the high school the vibrations broke the stasis unit. The Stripes, that's what I called them, had to stay awake and fix the ship." "They built our high school over the remains of a UFO and a pagan temple." Mindy said, leaning against the smooth metal of the car. "Explains a lot, doesn't." Calliope said. "Mmmm." Mindy nodded. "They were pretty hard up for parts for the first thirty years, but then last summer that giant turtle showed up." "The fire breathing one that fought the giant robot?" "Yea. After he and that big robot fought I went out with Strippy (she pronounced the name affectionately with a long "I" sound and Mindy wondered just how close Calliope had gotten with the aliens) and grabbed a lot of the wreckage. After that fixing the ship was easy." They could have picked a better time to lift off Mindy thought, remembering shivering for nearly an hour huddled behind some bushes with the rest of the team. Elvira, finally fed up with waiting for some sort of help, had grabbed her hockey stick and told the team to wait. The door to the school was rubble at that point, and if there were any emergency crews around they were busy. Growling Elvira walked out of the bushes, two blocks to Ruth's Frock Shop and grabbed some cloths. Mindy still remembered her friend walking back carrying the cloths and noticing some blood on her hockey stick. No one ever asked about it and Elvira never volunteered any information. But the hockey team that night had been the best-dressed victims of an Earthquake the town had ever seen. "They wanted to take me with them but I don't stay this size for more than one week per month." "Couldn't they have helped you against your evil aunt?" "Nah, they seemed to think she was bringing me up right. A cultural thing I guess." The elevator car stopped and Calliope opened the door. Lights came on, letting Mindy see where they were. It was large, almost cavernous chamber. Mindy guessed it was nearly 20 feet long by 25 feet wide. At her current height Mindy felt as if she was looking at the place through the wrong end of a telescope. A quarter of the way up was oddly placed beams, ropes and wires. They formed an outline of a roughly spherical shape. "They had the ship up there." Calliope said. She walked over to a raised platform and Mindy followed her, staying close. The floor of the deserted dry-dock was a tangle of discarded equipment, packages and toys. "Why all the toys?" "They were the right size to do the work, after a little modification." She stopped in front of the wall and touched a button. Instantly a screen light up, showing a map of the town. The streets were black, the houses outlined and color coded red, green and black. Overlaying the map was a series of bright yellow lines. "Yellow's the color we can take." "Lotta tunnels." Mindy said, realizing the yellow lines covered nearly the entire town. "What about the houses, why the different colors?" "Safety. Red's okay, green's proceed with caution and black is no-way-in-hell. I figure we can hold up in the Zoo for a few days, I have some friends in the reptile house. The spider guys don't mess with them." "A few days? Calliope I don't have a few days. My parents will be missing me soon, and I've got a little brother in a lot of trouble." "Huh. Well, okay where do you want to go?" "Do these tunnels go anywhere near Carion Mansion?" "Uh-uh, no way." Calliope pointed to the far end of the map. Not only was the mansion black but there was a black circle with a line next to it and an exclamation point. She sighed again. "Not even Strippy was brave enough to go there." "You miss him." Mindy asked. "Yea." Calliope said, leaning into her. "He was a dream." She blushed slightly. "And hot!" "He was humanoid then?" "Sometimes." Calliope said, shaking herself out of her reverie. "Well if we can't go to Carrion Mansion how about your place?" "Not when I'm this small and naked." "I thought your brother needed help?" "My brother's being blackmailed by Oliver Douglass, if my brother doesn't get him a naked picture of me he goes to jail." "That's mean." Calliope said. "Can we get to Elvira's house?" "Where's that?" "1304 Mockingbird lane." "Closest place we can get to is 1313." Calliope said. "It's marked in green so it should be ok." "Ok, let's head there." "Great, let me call up the car." "Car?" Calliope pushed a button and a silver Malibu Stacy 1959 Thunderbird zoomed out of the shadows and stopped by the platform. With a yell Calliope somersaulted into the drivers seat. There had never been seat belts put into the Malibu Stacy Thunderbird. Mindy quickly came to realize that this was a serious design flaw. Calliope drove through the tunnels like she was running from the cops, and they were shooting at her. It took all of Mindy's self control to keep from leaping out and flying away. It didn't help that the tunnels were full of potholes and the car had little or no shocks. She sat in the front, her wings folded around her stomach, and held on to the dashboard and the side door with all her might. "Can you slow down please!" she cried after the car seemed to drive on the top of the tunnel. "Sure." Calliope said, slowing the car. "But I thought you were in a hurry." "I want to live to get there." Mindy said, settling down. "Is this how you spend your time as a mouse?" "Were-mouse." Calliope corrected her, sounding a bit offended. "Not all the time no, for the first six months my aunt kept me in training. Running mazes, stealing stuff from museums, learning to sew, that sort of thing." "Learning to sew?" "Yea, well that last one was my idea. I mean I don't wanna run around naked all the time." Mindy sighed, for a little while she had managed to forget her own nudity. "Anyway it turned out sewing was a really good thing to learn. She sells that curse she used on me over the net and almost everybody wants to buy some small cloths with it." Calliope turned a corner on two wheels. "Doll cloths are nice for a while, but the seams on the cheap ones are too big to be really comfortable. Besides it's hard to find dolls with silk and leather cloths." "So people buy the curse one time, but keep buying the cloths?" "Yea, I mean you can only curse someone once, but cloths are forever." she took another corner, again on two wheels. At least she used the turn signals, Mindy noted. "I do furniture too, and chains and stuff." "You do all that for her?" "Well she's way bigger than me, and I like making stuff. Even weird stuff. Last week we had an order for a princess bed with chains and a water mattress that could be made cold or hot." "Who would ...Why would someone want that?" "I try not to think about it." Calliope said. "Anyway my aunt let's me out on full moon nights, she knows I'm too horny to do any real work." She looked over at Mindy and smiled. "You too huh?" "Watch the road." Mindy said sternly. "Look, about last night, about what happened, I'm not normally like that." "Neither am I." Calliope said. "Not when I'm human anyway." "Oh." Mindy said, a feeling of relief coming over her. She had enough boys with crushes on her as it was. "To tell you the truth when I'm human you turn me off." "Oh." Mindy's feeling of relief faded. "No offense, but...I mean I'd need a ladder or something just to...Whoa!" Calliope slammed on the breaks and twisted the wheel around wildly. The car nearly flipped over and Mindy clung desperately to the dashboard to avoid being thrown out. "Darn." Calliope swore. "Roadblock." Mindy shook her head and wondered how Elvira was doing. She had to be having more luck. The tunnel had almost completely caved in. Using the search light mounted on the driver's side Calliope slowly tracked across the rubble. "I guess it's the zoo after all." "What?" Mindy asked. Calliope said something in reply but Mindy didn't hear it. She felt strange. Her antenna stiffened, then began to move. A wave from the depths of her soul flooded Mindy's mind, drowning conscious thought. Without a word she got out of the car and walked over to the rubble. Totally unaware of what she was doing the transformed girl reached down and picked up two green rocks. Each rock began to glow. They pulsed with energy and Mindy slowly brought them up to her antenna. As soon as the antenna touched the rocks Mindy's world imploded. Her next breath felt like the first inhalation her lungs had ever tried. Every inch of skin on her body suddenly sent her brain a message at the same time. Pressure, temperature, energy and some things that Mindy had no words for. She became aware suddenly of two beings within her mind. They were learning from her. Language came first, followed by culture and manors. The reading of her memory was not intrusive, rather it was a soft-as-silk seduction of her spirit. As the entities learned from her they left knowledge in their wake. It was knowledge the young girl found frustratingly hard to understand. Mindy had always read fantasy, science fiction. She had always yearned for the lore of the Wise Ones that was now pouring into her brain. But the concepts, the facts hidden in the center of a maelstrom of chaotic emotions, nearly proved too much for her. With the greatest effort of her young life Mindy reigned in the beings, slowing their march through her soul. They seemed to understand, but by the time Mindy had slowed the process it was done. Mindy opened her eyes knowing who would be standing before her. He was taller than Mindy by a half a head. Deep black hair, cut short with a short neatly trimmed beard. His eyes were sea blue and seemed to shine. He smiled, showing perfect white teeth. The fairy, for he had wings like Mindy's, spread his arms, taking a deep breath into a broad powerful chest. He was not chiseled, being more subtly muscled, but she could sense a great strength in his limbs. The beard combined with the look in his eyes and the rest of his body language to give the impression of a lovable rogue. She was different. As tall as he was, with a wide, square jawed face. Her hair was straight flaxen and ran to her shoulders. Her wide eyes were blue, but a pale blue. Her head sat upon a long neck and a slim body. She smiled, but there was a wry twist to her grin. "A body!" he shouted, running his hands across his body. "After uncounted ages a body!" His hands reached his crotch and took hold of his penis. "And a fine body at that!" "Does this sort of thing happen every time you pick up rocks?" Calliope asked, coming over to stand beside her. "Not at all Calliope." the woman said. She ran her hands over her body, and Mindy couldn't tell whether she was as satisfied as the man was. She was slimmer than he was, with small breast. "For what she touched was not a mere rock, it was the depository for my companions and mine own souls. What our Lord Oberon claimed could never come to pass, has come to pass." She walked over to Mindy and kissed her lightly on the lips. "I thank you Mindy. For our freedom, and for the bodies we now have." "I to need to thank you." the man said, rushing over to Mindy he lifted her up and twirled her around, finishing the twirl with a hard kiss on the mouth. "I truly need to thank you." he said, setting her back down on the ground. "Calm your ardor, my friend." the woman said, easing him back. All of them could see the semi erection that alternately drifted in direction toward all of them. "Though we know what has occurred, poor Mindy's mortal mind has yet to assimilate the knowledge." "Yea." Mindy said, leaning back into Calliope. "What she said. I think, what happened was that I let you two out of the rocks, and you grabbed some info from my mind." "A rather sketchy explanation of what happened." the woman said. One of her wings curled around her body and she inspected it. "Ages ago my friend and I were condemned by our Lord Oberon. Most of our kind was leaving this world, driven out by fire and blood. We desired to stay, and openly opposed him." "A big mistake, as you say in this age." the man said. "Yes. For Oberon was ever a petty tyrant, vindictive beyond cause. He stripped us of our bodies and sealed us all within emeralds. The emeralds he then sold to a troll, who sold them to another troll, who, to save his life, gave them to a dragon. A witch, who used them as guard stones to build her house, stole many of the gems from the dragon. When she was killed by a demon she had dallied with, the house slowly fell to rubble, only to be rebuilt as a temple to some minor god. Ages later the ship of the," here she whistled and coughed, "crashed and the gems were driven deep into the ground. Only recently did a cave in shake them loose." "Wow!" Calliope whispered. "Yes Calliope," the woman said. "Wow. Lord Oberon decreed that only another fairy could free us. But since all the other fairy's were going with him, or were entombed as we were, there was little hope of freedom." "The old man could never have guessed that someone would make a fairy." the man said. "Nor such a comely one." "No come ons right now." Mindy said, sinking against the car. As the woman had explained things the images of what had happened flashed into her minds eye. With the images had come the feelings, frustration, anger, desperation, despair and finally hope. But they were not Her feelings. To feel someone else emotions went beyond weird. "When I released them they reached into my mind and..." Mindy faltered, her consciousness overflowing with the lore of magic. "We learned from Mindy all that she knew of her world, so that we could survive and from her fantasies we formed these bodies." "You imagined him and her?" Calliope asked. "The raw form, yes. We tempered her idylls with our own desires and natures." "Nice job." Calliope said, looking at the man. "I look forward to the next moon, my dear." he said, bending forward he took her hand and kissed it. Calliope giggled. "From the raw stuff of Mindy's memories and hopes and ideals, we formed these bodies." The woman looked at Mindy with a love that went beyond anything the young girl had ever known. "But there is one task still left to you, the most important task. We must have names." Mindy knew what she was asking. To the ancient people names were highly important. For though the fey could have many names in their long lives, the first name was always the most valued. Mindy thought of all the names she knew, or at least she tried too. In the whirling vortex that was her mind at the moment, few names could be called upon. With the woman and man looking at her, lovingly, expectantly, Mindy knew she had to say something. Two names surfaced from the storm. They leapt through her brain and into her mouth and from thence out into the world before Mindy had time to think. "Your Jack." she said, pointing to the man. "Your Jill." she said, pointing to the woman. Jack smiled his approval, while a slight wisp of a smile crossed Jill's lips. Mindy suspected Jill of enjoying some private joke. The effort of naming the two fairies seemed to drain the rest of her energy from Mindy. She barely felt herself falling back and being caught by Calliope. After that... she wandered through dreams and memories that were not her own, but were now a part of her. Mindy awoke with startling clarity. One moment she was wandering through the dreams of legend, the next she was staring up at Jill's breast. She was lying on the fairy's lap, in the back seat of the car. From the way Jill held her and the pale look on her face Mindy guessed Calliope was driving once more. Mindy said nothing for a moment, reflecting on what she had learned. Her love of fantasy would never be the same again. She knew too much now, too much of what it was really like. Never again would she be able to buy the "Elf's of Light" books for 7.95 $. The books were just all wrong. The rules of magic, the behavior of the elves and dragons... all wrong. I'll wait till they hit the discount rack, she thought, trying to console herself. On the other hand she now realized just how right Tolkien had been, and how good the movie: "Willow" was. "Are you rested now?" Jill asked, looking down at her. "Yea." Mindy said, sitting up. "Whoa! Who let him drive?" "Calliope." Jill said. "Fear not, I think he is actually the better driver." With a yell from Jack and a squeal of delight from Calliope the car sailed through the air for a moment before settling down to the ground. "Where are we headed?" Mindy asked, grabbing the car door with one hand and Jill with the other. "After some talk it was decided that your original destination was the best one. We ride toward Elvira's house. We will avoid the spider creatures, indeed though your knowledge is hazy upon the subject they are old foes. They existed eons ago and were thought to have left the world even before our kind. I am curious as to how they survived. But no matter Once we make contact with Jeremy and Helga I will aid them on the potion to restore you to your human form." "Sounds good." "I do hope to have some clothing before I meet the denizens of Carrion Mansion." Jill said, looking down at herself. "I wouldn't mind some either." Mindy said. Of them all only Calliope was wearing anything. "I for one enjoy bathing in the air." Jack called back. "He always did." Jill said. "Why should I cover this body which was so obviously designed to be admired?" Calliope seemed to agree and she snuggled closer to him. "Where are we?" Mindy asked. They were in the tunnels, but these tunnels were well made, smooth and lit by small yellow lights set evenly spaced in the walls. "The closest other exit to Elvira's house is the corner of LeMorte and LeScar street." Calliope said. "According to the map in the main chamber the entrance is in an alley between a place called; "The Androids Dungeon" and a store called; "Bits of Bytes." Jill smiled. "I am looking forward to both places Mindy. The images I saw in your mind of the comic books, and this thing you call; "The Internet", are truly examples of great progress in mans evolution." That was a point Mindy wanted to argue, but Calliope interrupted them. "Better slow up Jack," she said, "we're getting close to the exit and driving on the streets a lot harder than driving in here." "What ever you say my dear." Jack said. He slowed the car to a stop and they traded places. Jill and Mindy held onto each other as Calliope burned rubber and the car once more moved forward. A minute or so later Calliope took another turn and the car raced up a ramp. "Calliope!" Mindy called. They were heading toward a solid wall. "Don't worry, it opens automatically." Calliope said. Mindy dug her nails into the seat in front of them, even as Jill grabbed Mindy's arm in a death grip. Jack smiled and leaned back in his seat. At the last moment the door slipped to one side and the car emerged into an alley. Calliope slowed, turning on the headlights. By now Mindy was getting used to everything being bigger than it was supposed to be. The ally however, pushed her adaptation. The dumpsters were small buildings, the garbage cans grain silos. The small trickle of water heading toward the sewer was a stagnant stream of foul smelling offal. The store on her left was the Androids Dungeon. Mindy smiled wryly as recalled the hours spent in the comic shop, dreaming of the life of a fantasy character. "Lucky me." she whispered. The store on the left was one she didn't spend too much time in, though she did buy games there. Suddenly Mindy wondered if Myth2 was in yet. "Uh-oh." Calliope said, slamming on the breaks. The car slid to a stop, jolting Mindy out of her reverie. At the head of the alley were five spider men, each facing the street. "How many of those things are there in town!" Mindy hissed. "Enough." Calliope said. "Don't worry, we can outrun them." "Run?" Jack said. "Why I can take a mere five of the creatures with ease." "Cool it Klingon." Mindy said. "I agree Jack," Jill said, restraining him as he started to rise, "we are still too new to this world, and these bodies are not the ones we had of old." "What were they armor plated?" Calliope asked. "Look don't worry, this car can out run those guys easy." "What about them?" Mindy asked, pointing toward the sky. Just under the streetlights two of the flying rats hovered. "I'm not going to lead them to Elvira's house. If they want me they really have a hard on for her." "Well..." Calliope stopped talking, her words cut off as if by some unseen knife. A glazed look dulled her face. Looking straight ahead she floored the accelerator. Before any of them had time to react the car was lurching forward. The spider men heard and leapt out of the way, all but one who was clipped and thrown clear. Mindy saw him on the ground writhing in pain. "What the hell are you doing?" Mindy shouted. Lunging forward she reached past Calliope and grabbed for the wheel. With a savage snarl the were-mouse bit her. Mindy dropped back in shock, clutching the wound. "She is spellbound!" Jack called. "Let her be then!" Jill commanded. "Even if we were to survive a crash those mansects would be on us." They could fly away, Mindy thought, but left the notion unspoken. In fact the thought filled her with shame. The sting of her already closing wound paling beside it. I'm not a coward, she thought, wondering why fear was filling her heart. Then she heard it. A high pitched whistle. It tore through her mind, and every thought but one vanished. She had to go to the source of that sound. Mindy started to rise, only to be pulled back by Jill. Enraged that someone would stand between her and the source the transformed girl turned on the fairy. Jill grabbed both her arms and dragged Mindy's head down to hers. As soon as their antenna touched Mindy's mind returned to normal. "What..." "What ever spell draws her must be part of the her curse." Jill explained, easing Mindy down to the seat. "When she bit you that part of her curse must have entered your spirit." "Down!" Jack yelled. They heeded his words and a shower of arrows passed over their heads. Mindy looked back to see five spider men on flying rats pursuing them. The rats were keeping up with the car, though the strain was beginning to tell. Mindy could see them breathing heavy. One them faltered and started to head toward the ground. Calliope hit the horn three quick times, then four times. "Her aunt might be calling her." Jill said. "Where does she live? We can hide and rescue her later." "I don't know." Mindy said. "I don't know her that well." She was still holding her arm though the wound had closed and the pain was starting to fade. Looking around she saw the town cemetery flash by. "But I think were headed toward Tombstone Park." Calliope sounded the horn again in the same pattern as before, and this time was answered. Another high pitched whistle, this time audible to Jill and Jack as well. Before any of them could comment on the sound Calliope took another corner on two wheels. Mindy made a desperate grab for Jill as the fairy was thrown out of the car, but missed. In the next second they drove into a sickly sweet smelling mist. Mindy felt her stomach churn, her skin turned red and she could almost feel it coming apart. Her wings burned as if on fire. The pain quickly overwhelmed her and she blacked out. End. (For now) Will anyone survive this danger? (Well, of course they will, just wait till the next installment to see how) **************** Elvira Peterson and the Witch's kids Episode seventeen: The Return of Aunt Petunia By Skytower Elvira Peterson has defeated Georgia Sylvester and returned to the relative safety of Carrion Mansion. But now an old horror from the past is about to emerge. (c)1999 by Skytower Deep within the cavernous vaults of Carrion Mansion Elvira Peterson lay on a table, slowly waking to a world of pain. She had beaten Georgia Sylvester, freed Marvelous Mary and Wonder Lass, but it had meant running, climbing and fighting, as well as shrinking and growing. Every muscle in the young babysitters body ached. Elvira was in great shape, but she had her limits. The young woman barely remembered stumbling off of the teleport platform and collapsing onto the table. "She's awake." Jeremy said. "About time." Helga replied. Elvira opened her eyes, looking around. Though she often called Jeremy's lab a dungeon it wasn't. It merely looked like one. Large stone blocks, green with moss held up a vaulted ceiling. Few details could be seen of the ceiling since the room was light by harsh fluorescent work lights. Tables were set evenly about the room. On them were set electronic equipment, large books and chemical brews bubbling away in beakers. Elvira lay naked on a raised table at the far end of the room. The table was human shaped and mounted on a universal ball joint. Above it was a round ball with a variety of antennas and sensors. Further on was a raised platform with a large computer center set against the wall. On the central screen of the computer was an image of Elvira on the table. Elvira was a little over five feet tall, with just past shoulder length brown hair. Solid legs traveled to wide hips and a fuzzy stripe of brown hair between her legs. Her stomach was flat and further up was a pair of small breast with exaggerated brown nipples. Elvira's face was composed of a pair thin arched eyebrows. The eyebrows rode above a pair of brown eyes, set far apart. The effect was a face that was very open. Often what Elvira felt could be easily seen. Jeremy and Helga Carrion sat at the computer. Twins, each with red hair, his cut short, hers wore long, each with green eyes and deceptively innocent faces. Elvira wasn't sure what age they were, they said 84, but she was sure it was older. I know for damn sure they're not innocent, Elvira thought. Elvira was proof of that. Jeremy was the reason she shrunk and grew, and Helga had turned Mindy into a fairy, just to test a potion. "Good morning." Jeremy said, glancing at her. "Is it morning?" "About 3:30." Helga said. "Technically that's morning." Jeremy said. "Now that you're awake care to tell us what happened last night? I've been studying the nanites and the changes in them are incredible." "No problem, but you got a robe or a blanket or something?" "I'll get one." Helga said, walking over to a storage locker. "You and clothing." Jeremy said, rolling his eyes. "Helga and I both have photographic memories, we can call up a mental image of you at any time." "Call it a cultural thing." Elvira said. "I was brought up by people who wear cloths, my friends all wear cloths." Helga handed her a terry cloth robe. "I'm going to wear cloths." "Not for a few minutes yet." Jeremy said. "I still have to run a few scans." Elvira sighed in defeat and handed the robe back to Helga. "You guys had any luck with Mindy yet?" "Not really, no." Helga said, putting the robe on a chair next to the table. "What have you been doing?" Jeremy asked. "The nanites are almost completely changed, only their basic structure is intact." "I was afraid of something like that." Elvira said. "Give me a run down of your activities from the beginning." Jeremy said, picking up a notebook and pencil. "Helga could you run a check on vital signs so she won't lie or omit facts?" "Right." Helga took a seat next to him. Ignoring the insult Elvira took a deep breath and told them about her run in with Georgia Sylvester, wicked girl scientist. Infuriated that Elvira had interfered with her plans for Marvelous Mary, Georgia had dipped the babysitter in honey and dropped her into a maze with a shrunken bear. Elvira had escaped only to be captured by Sir Softy, a giant animated towel charged with keeping the Sylvester Sky Palace clean. Elvira had used him to masturbate to her normal size. "Before you grew, was the honey still covering your body?" Jeremy asked. "Yea." "And afterward?" "No." Elvira said after thinking about it. "Come to think of it no, it didn't. I didn't think about it at the time." "Very well. Go on." Elvira took another deep breath and told them about her battle with Georgia, her defeat of Georgia, and the wicked girls shooting Elvira with a Geta radiation based shrinking ray. "Geta radiation?" Helga asked, giggling. "She's still using Geta radiation?" Jeremy asked, giggling as well. "I'll wager the gun was a; "Buck Rogers" style ray gun." "It sorta looked like one, yea." The twins broke out laughing. "Geta radiation." Helga said. "That's like using vacuum tubes." "No wonder her family never conquers the world." Jeremy agreed. "Hey it worked!" Elvira shouted. "A little slower than yours, but it worked. In fact I shrunk smaller." "Really?" Jeremy said, sobering up. "Yea, about half the size I normally end up at." "Hummm." "Was that a good hum or a bad hum." "That was not a good hum." Jeremy said. Turning to the computer he tapped out a quick instruction. "Go on." Red-faced Elvira told them of her capture by a lust crazed Wonder Lass and about making love to her in a blue berry pie. "Then I was normal sized again." Elvira finished. "Were there any other pies on the table?" Jeremy asked. "What? Yea, I think. There was chocolate, some green stuff I wasn't sure of and cherry." "And you couldn't have picked the cherry." Helga said sadly. "It wasn't really my choice." Elvira said, a little puzzled. "Cherry would have solved the problem." Jeremy said, a concerned look on his face. "What problem?" "Usually does." his sister agreed. "What problem?" Elvira asked again. Jeremy touched a control and suddenly Elvira's arms and legs were held in place by metal bands. "I'm not going to like this am I?" Elvira asked, looking at the bonds. "The neural portion of the nanites had mutated." Jeremy said. "The honey started the process, it was absorbed into them when you grew. At that point I could have still fixed them. But then you got hit with Geta rays. That fused the some of the control elements in the mechanical part of the nanite. I might have still been able to do something, but then the blueberries..." "Blueberry's aren't good for neural networks." Helga said as Jeremy trailed off. "If only you had grown in the cherry pie..." "I didn't know." Elvira said, starting to get worried. "You didn't know that cherry pie absorbed through the skin can repair the neural net of a nanite?" Jeremy asked, as though Elvira didn't know the sun came up in the east. "But it's such a basic piece of knowledge." "Public schools." Jeremy said sadly. Helga put her hand on his shoulder in support. "Bottom line this for me will ya?" Elvira asked. She could feel herself breaking out in a cold sweat. "Well after I learned that the nanites were still working I emailed my whole class about it. Everyone wanted to talk to me, my professor even asked for a sample nanite." He shrugged. "But now there's no proof, no extra credit." "He so wanted to take you to show and tell." Helga said. For a few minutes Elvira breathed deeply and slowly, waiting for the hurricane of rage within to settle down. For one of the few times in her life she was actually grateful to be tied down. When her rage was under control she asked the inevitable question. "Jeremy, not that I don't feel bad about show and tell and all, but what does this mean for me? Am I still going to shrink and grow?" "Oh indeed." Jeremy said. "In fact both the range of size change and the stimulus required to trigger that change has been increased." Shaking off his depression the boy turned back to the computer. "Before it took tickling you into a sexual frenzy to trigger a reduction, now that trigger level has been decreased. Though I have no real way to test it, I can guess that laughing for more than 2.45559 minutes will shrink you. Also any sort of sexual activity will trigger a growth spurt. If you feel arousal for more than 5 minutes 5.56566 seconds you will grow. In both cases the trigger still has to be physical, you can't just imagine the feelings. Finally their is a certain type of food that will cause you to shrink, but the time you remain small will be proportional to the amount you consume. The computer is working on identifying the food trigger now." Once again Elvira was grateful she was bound. For a few moments she wanted nothing more than to get her hands around Georgia's throat. Or Jeremy's, Helga's or just about anybody's. "So I now have to avoid laughing and sex." she said. "And chocolate." Jeremy said, reading off the computer screen. "Chocolate!?" The computer started to beep. "Gosh!" Helga said, pointing to the screen. "I've never seen anybody's blood pressure go up like that." "Good thing I have her restrained." Jeremy said. The sound of metal straining made them both look over at Elvira. The band holding her wrist was slowly starting to bend. "I can't laugh, I can't have sex and I can't have chocolate." Elvira said, her voice a deadly calm. "Some body better give me a reason to live. FAST!" "Excuse me sir, madam, Miss Elvira?" A cultured English voice made them all look at the doorway. Standing there was a teddy bear wearing a tweed suit. The sight of a teddy bear standing in the doorway to the stairs broke Elvira's rage. She knew him as Theodore Y. Bear, the spirit of an 18 century Englishman channeled in Helga's teddy bear. He now served as the butler the Carrion family. "You have been working non-stop for many hours now, would you like something to eat? An early breakfast would be appropriate given the hour." Calm down, Elvira told herself. They may be demented, but they are brilliant, they'll find a cure. Now would be a good time." Jeremy agreed. "The usual Helga?" She nodded. "Elvira?" "You going to let me off this?" "That depends, are you still conceiving of various ways to hurt us?" "Yea, but relax, I won't do any of them." Seemingly satisfied Jeremy touched a control on the computer and Elvira's restraints retracted into the table. "What would you like madam?" Mr. Bear asked. "6 pancakes, 3 eggs straight, 16 bacon strips, a cup of oatmeal, 4 slices of toast sprinkled with cinnamon, not butter and a glass of choco... Milk. Plain milk." "Very well." "Do you always eat all that for breakfast?" Helga asked. "No, sometimes I skip the oatmeal. Better see if Mindy's up." Elvira looked around. "Where is she anyway?" "There's a story we should tell you." Jeremy said, activating her restraints once more. "I can't believe you turned my best friend into a fairy and let her get kidnapped by spider people." Elvira said. "And now you don't know where she is." "It is not polite to talk with your mouth open young lady." Mr. Bear corrected her. "Sorry." Elvira mumbled through the bacon. "At the time we were pre-occupied with your problem." Jeremy said. "It's very rare for the spider people to be so aggressive." Helga added. "Where did these spider people come from anyway?" "We're not sure." Jeremy said. "Though my mother has narrowed it down to either an escape from the secret military base or Aunt Petunia mating with a male spider." Elvira groaned at the mental image of the half human half spider mating with the real thing. "We don't know that much about them." Jeremy said. "Their development is low, tribal society, elder ruled with ancestor worship. They also worshiped Aunt Petunia as a goddess. We think your arrival may have set them off." "Me?" "Well you did defeat her, and in doing so strained the fabric of their society. God's are not supposed to be beaten you know." "Oh." "Your battles with her have become one of their great epic poems." Helga said. "They call you: "Arch Demon, the Goddess Hunter". "Arch Demon." Elvira said. She thought for a moment, finishing off the toast. "I like that." "Little spiders are told that you will come in the night, destroy their webs and drink their blood." Jeremy said. "I'm not that bad." "To them you are. In fact one of their legends has it that if a warrior defeats you and feast on your still beating heart he will become a god." "These spider people need a television." Elvira said, reaching for the syrup. "But you're sure they don't have Mindy right?" Jeremy touched a control on his watch and a holographic cube appeared in the center of the table. "Our security camera caught this picture last night." The scene showed Mindy flying out of the chimney, partially tangled with webbing. The camera followed her as she flew out of sight. "The spider people went after her, but apparently failed." The scene changed to show three spider men flying back toward the chimney on flying rats. "I'm not going to ask where they got the rats." Elvira said. "If she got away and she's mobile she'll head for my house." "What about her own house?" "Not when she's small and naked, her little brother's a creep. No, she'll head to my place. Probably hoping to get my little sister to call me." "Excuse me sir." Mr. Bear said, appearing in the doorway. He moved to the table and quickly cleared a spot in the center. "Hey, I'm not done yet." Elvira protested. "Hey is for horses young lady. I am not removing the food, merely clearing a space. My dear Lucretia has informed me that Miss Carrion will be here shortly." "Your mother?" There was a sparkle of light in the center of the table and a slim figure formed. She stood at twelve inches tall. Red hair cut short framed a delicate face with deep-set green eyes. The woman wore a simple tunic that barely made it past her thighs and revealed long thin legs. With a yelp Elvira leapt off of her chair and dove behind it. "Now Elvira," Aunt Petunia said sweetly, "is that anyway to greet an old friend?" "Friend?" Using the chair to support herself Elvira walked around and sat down again, closing her robe tightly as she did so. "The last time you were here you tried to eat me." "Tried?" Aunt Petunia's cultured English lilt betrayed an ironic amusement. "My dear as I recalled I did eat you, and you enjoyed it." "Aunt Petunia is the only one qualified to handle the spider people problem." Jeremy said while Elvira blushed. "Besides I'm not as you knew me." Petunia walked over and sat on the edge of Elvira's plate. Coyly she looked up at the young woman. "Not entirely." Elvira quickly drew her arms to her side. "My sanity has been restored, my rage controlled." "Your still small." Elvira said, cautiously reaching for another piece of bacon. "That is my choice." Petunia said, breaking off a small piece of the toast she started to eat. Elvira pulled her hand back. "You see Elvira I was completely cured some months ago, but encountered some difficulties." "She tried to rob a bank." Jeremy said. "But blew it up by mistake." Helga finished. "They put a service charge on my savings account." Aunt Petunia said. "I think I was justified in lodging a complaint. It was an ugly building at any rate. However the statute of limitations won't run out for a few years, so I've decided to spend them here. As a spider goddess I did have a very nice life." Elvira nodded, not trusting herself to speak. "I was honored, well fed and my subjects always provided me with Vogue every month. All I really missed was another woman." She smiled. "At least until you showed up." God I wish this was chocolate, Elvira thought drinking her milk. "But I find I miss the constant adulation." "You're not a spider lady anymore." Elvira said. "I don't think they'll welcome you with open webs." "Easily solved." Petunia said, pulling off her tunic. She closed her eyes, took a deep breath and changed. Elvira watched in amazement as the small woman grew. Her chest grew longer and gained another set of breast and arms. Her hips widened and just above them another set of arms grew. Her toes grew in length, as did her fingers. The process took only a few moments. "Excuse me sir." Mr. Bear said, appearing in the doorway. "My dear Lucretia has observed something disturbing on the security monitors." "Good." Elvira said, not able to take her eyes off the spider goddess. "I haven't had a heart stopping shock in at least two micro-seconds and I'm over due." "Instruct her to direct the image to this location." Jeremy said. "Very good sir." Mr. Bear left. "Do I bring back memories dear?" "Memories no, nightmares yes." Aunt Petunia laughed and walked over to look up at her. Elvira instinctively pressed back into her chair. There was a small beep and the holographic cube sprang to live once more. In the cube three spidermen on flying rats came toward the house. In a thick net strung between them a small figure with wings could be seen. "They got her after all." Elvira said, letting out a small growl. "Jeremy get me some chocolate and shrink me down a hockey stick, I got some spider heads to crack." "There are forty warriors in the colony." Aunt Petunia said. "So?" Elvira demanded, not taking her eyes off the cube. "And women and children." Petunia said, for once her voice serious. "They could be hurt if you go charging in." "I should have left well enough alone." Elvira said, tearing off a piece toast. "The shrinking and growing wasn't that bad, I was handling it. The kids loved it, I was making good money as the: "Shrinking Sitter." She took a deep breath and let it out. "Ok, so how do we get her out of there with minimal loss of life?" "I have a plan." Petunia said, smiling at her. Ages of waiting, Jill thought. Literally eons of patience to be rewarded only by this. A sacrifice to a false god. Truly the fates are too fond of comedy. She had been thrown clear of the car just before reaching the poison gas cloud. But had landed literally in the laps of one of the spider men. He had stunned her with a blow to the head and when she woke up Jill was cocooned and suspended between three flying rats. They had drugged her as well, as they had Mindy, but Jill was easily able to throw off the effects of the drug. A fairy had complete control over her body. It was something she had hoped to teach Mindy, after convincing the girl to remain a fairy, but now that seemed unlikely. Expelling gas the rats gently descended into the chimney. After a time they stopped and the spider men dismounted, hopping to the walls. The largest took Jill and stepped through an opening in the bricks. The great hall was as Mindy remembered it. Jill let herself look through the transformed girl's memories, seeking a way of escape. But the only practical way was the brick entrance, and that was quickly sealed by two spider men. As a massive brick was put into place Jill realized there would be no escape for her. Jill sighed. She did not fear death, for no fairy can truly die as mortals do. When mortals died they left the world never to return as they were. But a fairy's spirit would travel to one of the sacred pools and grow a new body for itself. Or at least they used to. Jill knew there was a chance that none of the pools had survived the ages. Mindy's memories and knowledge told her that man had grown all over the world. He would have destroyed the pools without even knowing it. If that was the case then Jill could find a body just about to be conceived. Her spirit could live in that body, but at the cost of the knowledge of her true self. For the persons life time Jill's knowledge and power would be held in the deepest recesses of the man or woman's mind. Only at death would she come to herself again, but without the sacred pools she would just have to repeat the process. Jill didn't want that. Her knew body was so well designed, it offered so much... But then I do not have much to say about the matter, she through ruefully. She was carried through the great chamber to the altar. The webbing was sliced from her body and Jill was rolled out onto the floor like Cleopatra being freed from the carpet. "This is not Big Breast Blonde." the old spider said. Mindy is right, Jill thought wryly, men are men. "She has wings." the warrior protested. "She is not the one." "To get her we faced the Owl, the Red Witch, the cloud of death." as he spoke the warrior became more and more angry. "Doorknob is crippled." "In the service of the goddess..." "Enough of her!" "Nails!" the old spider exclaimed, his voice burning with anger. "She lost!" Nails shouted. "I watched from the shadows as the Arch Demon defeated her, bound her in her own web!" "Silence!" the old spider shouted. "Yea, be quiet." The voice was low, but well projected. In the wake of the command total silence fell upon the great chamber. Only breathing could be heard. As one every eye in the room looked to the main entrance. Elvira, Jill thought, but there were subtle differences between this girl and the girl from Mindy's memories. She still was solidly built with wide strong legs, wide hips and small breast. But this Elvira glistened in the dim light. A thin sheen of oil covered her body, naked but for a silver band on her wrist. In her right hand she held a hockey stick. Beside her two spider guards slumped unconscious. She smiled and gave out a shrill cat-like yowl. As the battle cry echoed through the chamber chaos erupted. Mother's abandoned their webs, taking small spiders with them. Some of the spider men shot arrows at her, but the arrows bounced off. If she was ever able to do that, Jill reflected, she kept it from Mindy. "Where is the goddess?" Elvira shouted, stalking across the chamber to the altar. "How dare she capture..." for the first time Elvira got a good look at her and Jill could see the confusion in her face. "Who the... Where is she?" Elvira recovered. "You ask that?" Nails demanded. He hadn't moved, nor had the old spider. "You took her from us, I saw you..." "Fool!" Elvira said, swinging her hockey stick at him. "You saw only the first period! Now give her up or I'll start tearing this place apart!" With a snarl Nails charged her, but Elvira skillfully used her stick to trip him and stun him with a blow to the back of the head. "Enough!" another voice shouted. Again everyone turned to look, but Elvira took the opportunity to bend down. "When the action starts head toward the door." she whispered. "But do it slow." Jill nodded. At the far end of the chamber a door had opened, and another creature stood there. Taller than Elvira this creature seemed to be a hybrid of woman and spider. She had six arms, two pair growing from her torso, another pair growing from just above her thighs. Four breast, not two adorned her chest. When she opened her mouth Jill could see fangs. "Aunt Petunia." Jill whispered. "You think you could run away from me?" Elvira taunted, giving Nails another hit on the head. "I was not the one who ran." Petunia said. All eyes in the chamber were on them and Jill started to crawl toward the main door. "I tied you up in your own web once." Elvira taunted. "A refreshing amusement." Aunt Petunia said. "It was rare for one such as you to enter my webs, I enjoyed toying with you, giving you a taste of victory." Jill was halfway to the door when the two started to fight. Elvira used her hockey stick to leap into the spider goddess, knocking her down. She used the stick like an ax, but Petunia rolled away and it stuck into the floor. Petunia leapt into her foe and the force of that leap carried the two of them into the altar. Jill watched the battle out of the corner of her eye. Petunia had more arms but Elvira was the more cunning fighter. Slipping under the taller woman Elvira rolled behind her. A kick to the back of the leg brought Petunia to her knees. Elvira leapt onto the spider woman's back. Grabbing Petunia's hair Elvira pulled her head back, at the same time locking her legs around the spider woman's waist. Two of the spider woman's arms kept her upright while the other four pulled at the girl's legs. Elvira kept up the pressure, letting go of the hair she wrapped both hands around Petunia's mouth and nose. For long silent minutes the two stood there. Elvira pulled with all her might, nearly bending the mutated woman in half. Aunt Petunia's struggles were going weaker as her lungs fought for air. Jill was nearly to the exit, but by this time the fairy was sure no one even remembered her. They were starting to chant. It was a wordless chant, a low bass rumbling that filled the hall and seemed to fill Aunt Petunia as well. She rose and despite the ravages of Elvira's hold leaped up into the ceiling. Elvira took the brunt of the hit and when she came down Petunia went to work. Blow after blow drove Elvira back toward the entrance, until finally the shrunken babysitter was reeling, barely able to stand. By that time the chanting had turned to cheers. The cheers rose to a crescendo when Petunia held Elvira stretched out, holding her by wrist and ankles. With a savage roar the spider woman buried her fangs into Elvira's throat. Elvira gave a choked cry and then went still. The spider people cheered as Petunia ran her hands up and down Elvira's helpless body. Then she threw the babysitter down next to Jill and turned to them. "We're outta here." Elvira whispered grabbing Jill's wrist she hit the silver band on her wrist. Well Elvira has a fairy, but not the one she was looking for. What has happened to Mindy, Jack and Calliope? Stay tuned. ************** Elvira Peterson and the Witch's kids Episode eighteen: Morally Challenged By Skytower "I'm not evil. I'm just morally challenged." Encountering problems with her stepbrother, Mindy McConnell had gone to help her friend Elvira babysit. In retrospect it was a mistake. So far tonight Mindy has been musically tickled, turned into a fairy, attacked by spider men and nearly sacrificed by them, met and made love to Calliope the Were-mouse, found, freed, imagined bodies for, and named two more fairies, and when we last left her she was riding a silver Malibu Stacy mustang through a cloud of poison gas. (c) 1999 by Skytower Mindy McConnell woke slowly to a world filled with fading pain. Her skin seemed to crawl around on her body, as if it wanted to free it's self from the muscles and organs. Mindy didn't open her eyes right away. Instead, instinctively she sought to view the world through her antennae. The picture that came to her was a diffused one. She was in some sort of tub, her body resting in a mud-like substance that smelled vaguely familiar. The mud covered her entire body, only her face was above it. Above it, but still smeared with it. Realizing her antennas were covered with the stuff as well Mindy opened her eyes. Her vision was blurred at first, but cleared rapidly. She looked up at bars. They stretched vertically and horizontally all around her. I'm a prisoner, Mindy thought. The realization did not really bother her. The last thing the transformed young girl remembered she had been riding into a cloud of acid smelling death. To wake up at all was a positive point. "How are you feeling?" Calliope asked, filling her field of vision. Calliope was a were mouse, with black hair that was cut like Moe's from the Three Stooges. Her wide eyes, slanted in the manor of her oriental heritage, rested above a small snout with a little pink nose on the end of it. Large mouse-like ears quivered slightly. "I don't know." Mindy said. In fact she really wasn't sure, the pain was nearly gone. Her skin had apparently decided to stay on her body. "Keep resting in there, the raspberry should help draw out the poison." "Raspberry?" "Jack said that only raspberry could save you." Calliope said, smearing a little more on Mindy's antennae. "I'm in a tub full of raspberry jelly?" "No." Calliope said, her ears starting to quiver faster. "The supermarket was closed so my aunt ran down to the doughnut shop." "I'm lying in a raspberry doughnut?" "Aye." Jack said, appearing on the other side of her. "We were fortunate the Huggable Doughnut shop is open all night." "Raspberry jelly is curing me? What hit me?" Mindy asked. She was still half-asleep, her mind working as if it had lead weights tied to it. "Raid Yard Guard." Calliope said. "My aunt uses it when those spider things attack me." "Oh." Mindy looked at Jack. Tall broad shouldered with black hair and a neatly trimmed beard, he looked fine. "Why weren't you hit?" "I was thrown into a puddle of oil when the car overturned." Jack said. "It shielded me from the poison." "Makes sense." Mindy said. Her body was beginning to feel strange. It was like her legs were dissolving into the jelly. Mindy reached down and felt them, just to be sure. Yes, they were still there. "What about Jill?" "She lives," Jack said, "but beyond that I do not know." "She may have been caught." Mindy tried to rise, but found there was little strength in her to move. At any rate the jelly was too slick and the doughnut to soft, she couldn't get a grip to lever herself out of it. It reminded Mindy of the time she and Elvira had been trapped in a giant vat of frosting. "Easy." Calliope said, pushing her back down. The were- mouse reached in and scooped up a little of the jelly, smearing it on Mindy's face. "We're not going anywhere?" "Why not?" "Well for one thing we're in a cage, besides that the Yard Guard lingers for a while." "Calliope?" A voice said. Mindy focused her eyes and saw a tall slim woman with red hair looking at them. She was an attractive woman. About 50, Mindy thought, judging from the lines on her face. The face was sharp, angular, but still somewhat attractive. Judging from the blush and eyeliner it was the face of someone who constantly looked in the mirror. Gray roots had begun to show in the hair. The woman wore a white robe cleaved down to her waist, but she was too slim to have any real cleavage. Cool hazel eyes looked down at them. "Your friend doing alright?" "Yes Auntie." Calliope said, in a tone that didn't seem right to Mindy. It was a completely subservient voice, with none of Calliope's normal joy. "You're the evil aunt?" Mindy asked. "Is she still calling me that?" The woman asked, her voice light but her eyes growing hard. "Calliope what is my name?" "Casey Chapel, Auntie." Calliope said, shivering slightly. "Am I evil?" "No Auntie." "What am I?" "Morally challenged." Calliope said, her head drooping forward. It was a routine, Mindy realized. Calliope was reciting something learned by rote. "That's better dear." Casey said. "Remember this is America, it's all in how you say it." Casey reached into the cage and picked Jack up, pulling him out. "Come on little guy, I got some plans for you." Rage started to fuel Mindy, both at the way Casey had treated Calliope, and at the way she was holding Jack. But even as she tried to rise the rage faded back into exhaustion and she blacked out. The next time Mindy woke it was to a softly singing voice. Calliope's voice singing the theme song to the Muppet Show. Mindy sat up, feeling better at last, and looked around. It was large as cages go, maybe 4 feet by 4 feet, with bars that were just too small to squeeze through. The floor of the cage was a deep blue plush shag carpet. At one end of the cage was a Malibu Stacy bed time set, the Camelot model with princess canopy bed, a large oak (Well ok, plastic that looked like oak) chest and a table with chair. On the table was a pile of scrolls and an inkwell with quill pen. A mirror was set into the bars further along the cage, next to it stood a rack of clothing. Beside that was a small table and sewing machine. Beyond that was a couch, coffee table (again, Malibu Stacy, this time the 50's set) and a small LCD tv. At the far end of the cage was a small kitchen, to the left of that was a curtained off area. Mindy and the doughnut were on a porcelain plate set in the center. Calliope sat in front of the tv. "Calliope?" Mindy asked. She was feeling ok physically, but her mind was still on shaky ground. "Hi." Calliope muted the tv and walked over to her, bending down next to the doughnut. "How are you feeling?" "Ok I guess." Mindy said. She raised her hand and looked at the crimson sheen of jelly that covered it. "But I think I need a shower." "Auntie said you should wait, she'll only be a few more minutes." Calliope said. "What's she going to do, put me in the kitchen sink or something?" "Probably." Calliope shrugged. "This is nice." Mindy said, looking around at the cage. A part of her wanted get out of the doughnut, but strangely Mindy had never felt more comfortable. "Yea, Auntie built it for me after I tried to roll a bowling ball onto her head while she was asleep." "You tried to kill her?" "Missed her by that much." Calliope said, holding her thumb and forefinger just a little apart. "I shouldn't have, I know." "Well she did do all that bad stuff to you and your parents." Mindy said, putting her hand on the were-mouses shoulder. "You don't have to feel guilty." "I don't, I mean I shouldn't have used the bowling ball. I mean it never works for Wyle E. Coyote on the Road Runner. I should have just dumped that battery acid into the her coffee." "Oh." Mindy said. Just then she saw Casey come into the room through a swinging door. For the first time Mindy looked at the room. It was a living room. On the right side of the room was a large bay window that gave a tremendous view of the Dead Diamond River. At the far end was an overstuffed Victorian couch, with a tv set in front of that. To the right of the swinging kitchen door was an open fireplace with a burning log crackling away. A built in bookcase took up the entire left side of the room. Casey walked over and put Jack into the cage. He seemed none the worse, what ever she had done to him, in fact he now had a tan. Putting him down on the couch she picked up the plate and brought Mindy to eye level. "Felling better?" Casey asked. "Yea." "Oh good. Come one, I'll get you cleaned up." "She could do with a tan as well." Jack called. A tan, Mindy wondered? Casey carried Mindy into the kitchen and set her down on the table. The kitchen was a nice clean kitchen, small with bright yellow paint on the walls, blue and white cabinets above white Formica counter tops. Flowered curtains hung on the windows. The light in the room came from a round fluorescent in the center of the ceiling. The ceiling itself was a tin flower pattern. On the stove something simmered in a pot, and on the fridge were shopping list and crayon drawn pictures. Casey put Mindy's plate on the kitchen table. Then she walked over, took a gallon of milk out of the fridge and filled a glass. Humming softly to herself she put the milk back and then walked over and put the glass next to Mindy. More than a vague worry was beginning to form in the young girls mind. But she was helpless to do anything about it. Mindy knew she could never out run Casey, and her wings were currently weighted down with jelly. Flight was impossible. Still humming to herself Casey took off her robe, revealing the body Mindy would have guessed at. Her breasts were small, but pointy with bright red nipples. Her stomach was flat, and Mindy guessed Casey was the type of woman who could never gain weight. But while she wouldn't gain weight, age was taking the color, suppleness and shine from her skin. Casey was in the first stages of shriveling. Mindy shuddered, thinking of what her body could be like at 50. Age had always been Mindy's greatest fear. A relative, spiteful and full of hate, had once told her that the more beautiful a young woman was, the more ugly she would become when she was old. It was the summer of her growth spurt, when she shot up a foot and her chest developed. Mindy had been so scared and confused the words stayed with her. Elvira and roller blade hockey had gotten Mindy through that time. But nightmares still hit her occasionally. The tattoo forced Mindy's mind back to the present. Casey's best feature was her long and muscular legs. But at the top of the legs, just above a shaved vagina was a skull and crossbones tattoo. The skull and crossbones were white, with yellow and red flames blazing from the eyes, while the mouth and nose were black. The mouth of the skull had vampire fangs. Mind shivered and tore her eyes away from the tattoo. "I know I'm going to pay for this at the dentist office." Casey said, sitting down in front of her, her bright chipper voice managing to sound like fingernails on a blackboard. "But I have such a sweet tooth." With that Casey pulled Mindy out of the doughnut and began to lick the jelly off of her. Too terrified to even scream Mindy only stiffened. Casey started with her legs, dipping them both into her mouth and drawing them out like a popsicle. She dipped Mindy back into the doughnut legs first and took her out. Again and again Casey did this, each time drawing Mindy's body further and further into her mouth. Calm blue ocean, Mindy thought to herself, her mind desperately shouting the phrase she dared not utter. It was her and Elvira's favorite calming down phrase. But it wasn't really working and Mindy wished with all her heart Elvira was there. Giggling Casey took a drink of the milk, then took a spoon and sprinkled sugar all over Mindy's body. Once more the fairy was treated as a popsicle. After a few more trips into Casey's mouth Mindy was put down on the plate and held there. Her arms stretched out and each of Casey's fingers holding them there. Leaning forward Casey began to lick her way up Mindy's body. In a first show of defiance the young girl tried to keep her legs closed. But, strong as they were, Mindy's legs were no match for the giant tongue. Mindy shut her eyes as Casey's tongue toyed with her vagina. There was no way for it to penetrate, the size difference was too great. But the sheer pressure combined with the roughness was stimulating. Despite herself, and against every ounce of will Mindy possessed, the young girl felt her body responding. Her skin grew taunt around tensing muscles. Her breast stiffened. The path between her legs became slick with her own juices. Mindy moaned and Casey let go of her arms so the young girl could caress her own breast. While Mindy did that Casey lightly caressed the wings. As she did so Mindy became more and more aroused. Seldom had she been this hot, only Calliope had brought her to this height. And so quickly, Mindy realized her fairy body was far more responsive than her human one. The small part of her that would have fought, might have raised an objection, was held in chains of pleasure at the far corner of her mind. Her body and the bliss she was feeling ruled Mindy's soul. Casey started to push at Mindy's breast with her little fingers and Mindy abandoned her breast for her antennae. Casey sprinkled some more sugar onto the fairy. Mindy felt the sugar hit her skin like cold water. She could feel the blood steaming through her veins. Casey leaned back, one finger still rubbing Mindy's pussy while the other caressed her own breast. She picked Mindy up by her wings and brought her to the nipple. Mindy twisted and beat her wings against the giant breast. Casey gasped and arched her back, her other hand reaching between her own legs. Mindy had never felt so powerful. The very power of creation filled her. She reveled in it, tasting the very stuff of godhood. Casey let go of her completely and Mindy flew around the woman. In her wake was a trail of glowing dust. Faster and faster Mindy flew, taking a spiral path from Casey's head to her toes and back again. Casey left the chair, her body floating. Suddenly Mindy saw the woman's life, years spent on petty villainy and vanity. No friends, a family outcast. Pity filled Mindy's spirit. For Casey had the same fear of aging that haunted the fairy. Casey felt that pity. Mindy and the woman looked into each other eyes and a primal communication took place. Anger filled Casey's face. She reached out and took Mindy's body, pressing it to her own. They both floated in the power generated by their passion. Still Mindy felt sorry for the woman, for she realized that Casey was facing a bleak time in her life. I could help her, Mindy thought. As the thought hit her knowledge came with it. A fairy spell, one of the hundreds she received from Jack and Jill, filled her mind. An evil smile lit Casey's face, and Mindy realized their link was still there. "Do it." Casey commanded stroking Mindy's antenna. Mindy knew she shouldn't. She tried not too. But the pleasure ruling her spirit would allow nothing but full subservience to its source. Casey knew that. She pulled Mindy to her face, her tongue once more forcing the fairy's legs apart. Mindy fought back. But she knew it was futile. While Casey's tongue worked at her pussy the giantesses fingers rubbed Mindy's breast. Mindy was quickly worked up to orgasm, and then beyond it. Suddenly there was lightning and thunder in the kitchen. Mindy climaxed, energy pouring out of her as if a damn had broken. She screamed and leapt into darkness, hoping to save her sanity. Mindy awoke to a world of light. Blinding, white and intense, it flowed over her body. But even as she was welcoming it, it faded. She opened her eyes and looked into a shallow plastic chamber. A metal cylinder shuddered at the far end. She was lying on glass, Mindy realized. Slowly she sat up, her mind clearing. The memory of her love making rushed back at her, but by this time Mindy's emotions were spent. "How you feeling honey?" Casey asked. Mindy looked over at her. Casey was wearing her robe again, but she had changed, no longer was age creeping up on her. Her skin was vibrant, her face unlined and her hair red to the roots. She was sitting in front of a computer and Mindy realized she was lying on a scanner. Through a doorway she could see the kitchen. "I need therapy." Mindy said. She remembered the youth spell, but felt shame that she had been forced to use it on someone like Casey. "Fun wasn't it." Casey said. "I haven't had it that good since I got drunk with a demon. You have talent honey." Mindy sighed. She now realized where Jack had gotten his tan, the scanner had turned her skin bronze as well. "The money I can get for what you can give..." Casey trailed off, her voice dripping with greed. "I just gave you a second chance in life." Mindy said. "Don't you think you should rethink the evil bit?" "I'm not evil, I'm just morally challenged." "You've cursed your niece, stranded your brother and his wife in time and molested me." "First off, Calliope needed to be taught a lesson." Casey said, an annoyed look crossing her face. "Second my brother would be here today if he had given me what I wanted, so it's not my fault. And you liked our little tryst." "I didn't know what I was doing." Mindy said. "Honey you didn't have to know, your body is built for sex." "The hell it is!" Mindy shouted, rage broiling up within her. She'd heard that phrase from too many people in her life. "The hell it isn't." Casey shot back. "You gotta realize honey we're all meant for different things in life. Now I was meant to be in charge of things. Not everything, but some things. My brother was meant to do things for other people, especially me, and my niece should'a been a mouse to begin with. You honey, are a born sex machine. Accept it, you'll be happy." "If all that's true," Mindy said, her voice arctic with rage, "you were meant to be just what you are. A vapid, self absorbed, gold digging hussy with delusions of grandeur." Mindy went on, ignoring the anger that was showing in Casey's face. "It doesn't matter how many years I've given you. You'll waste them just like you've wasted all the years of your life, and you'll end up just the same. Alone, no family and ugly." Casey winced at the word. "A dried up raisin that guys will run away from and women will pity. You'll be so wrinkled you'll have to iron your face before you look in the mirror." "Be quiet." Casey said, her voice angry and hurt. She reached down and picked something up. "You can have all the money in the world and you'll still be old." With deadly silence Casey put the can of Raid Yard Guard onto the table. For a long moment the fairy and the woman looked at each other. Then Casey spoke. Her voice had the finality of a cell door slamming shut. "I got an offer for Jack already, the Internet is great for that. You wouldn't believe how many people want a fairy. I was gonna sell him and keep you. But now I think I'll put you on the market. There's a gal in a lab coat that wants to see what makes your insides work. She's gonna put you on a little table and go slash." Casey made a cutting motion with her hand. "And I think I'll ask for a copy of the tape." Mindy shuddered as Casey spoke. She could picture herself on such a table. A bell rang making Mindy jump. Casey picked her up and walked back into the kitchen. A pot was simmering on the stove. Casey shut the gas of and poured the contents of the pot into a mixing bowl. The liquid was thick pink goo that reminded Mindy of a strawberry milk shake. "What's that stuff?" "The were-mouse cursing potion." Casey said. Picking up a spoon she stuck it into the bowl and then carried it and Mindy into the living room. "There's a big market for this stuff on the Internet. The living room was the same as they had left it. All except for the cage. The door was open. Swearing Casey put the bowl down and reached into the pocket of her robe. A stick arced out of the shadows and hit the hand that held Mindy. Mindy flew up and away as Casey cursed and turned to face her attacker. Elvira stood by the fire. She was wearing an oversized Philadelphia Flyers jersey and Mindy knew that wasn't a good sign. Elvira normally wore the flyer's jersey when she wanted to hurt someone. From the look in her eyes she wanted to hurt Casey. "Who are..." That was as far as Casey got with the question before the hockey sliced at her stomach. Casey dodged back and grabbed the stick. Elvira growled and used Casey's grip against her, forcing the woman into the door. "This should not take long." Jill said, hovering beside Mindy. "As long as El wants it too." Mindy agreed. They watched as Elvira used her stick to bat Casey through the door and into the kitchen. "Mindy." Calliope called. Mindy looked down to see Calliope and Jack sitting on the table. She and Jill flew down to them. "Your friend is truly a hellcat." Jack said, grinning. In the kitchen they could hear the sound of glass breaking. "There goes the computer." Mindy said, seeing the flare of light from under the door. "The scanner did not take a good likeness of me anyway." Jack said. "So I guess you two are telepathic." Mindy said, trying to keep her voice calm. She was telling herself to stay as cool as they were, but it was hard. Mindy wanted nothing more than to hug them both and never let them go. But that sort of thing just wasn't done. Janeway would never do it, neither would Picard and neither would she. "Once we were free to concentrate." Jill said. The door to the kitchen sprang open and Casey staggered into the room, her robe undone. She stumbled, her eyes glazing and then fell onto the small table that held the were-mouse potion. Catapulted the potion soared toward them. Mindy, Jack and Jill reacted instinctively by flying out of the way. Calliope wasn't fast enough. She squealed as the pink goo covered her. "Here we go." Helga said, handing Mindy a small cup filled with a clear liquid. They were in the dining room of Carrion Mansion. Elvira sat at the far end of the table, dressed in jeans and a mighty ducks t-shirt. Helga and Jeremy sat on either side of her. Calliope, Jack and Jill stood beside Mindy on the table. In the far corner of the room, hogtied, Casey squirmed on the floor. Mindy looked at the cup, but didn't drink it immediately. "I'll still remember." she said, looking at Jill. "The spells and lore?" Jill replied. "Yes, but your poor mortal form will not have the power for magic." "We can teach you more than you know." Jack said, for once his tone was serious. "Maybe, but you'll never stop a slap shot if your smaller than the puck." Elvira said. "Come on Min, have you really had a good time this week end?" "Well..." "It wasn't all bad." Calliope piped up. "No." Mindy agreed, looking at the cup. "But I can't leave my family. Besides me and my brother have some things to talk about." In one motion Mindy drank the contents of the cup. There seemed to be a flash of light. Her body felt bloated for a moment, then it was over. She stood on the table, once more her normal 5 feet 11 inches. "Yes!" Mindy shouted, stretching. "I'm back." "Indeed you are." Jeremy said, smiling. Mindy quickly remembered she was naked and jumped off the table. Elvira threw her a robe and she put it on. "You're worse than Oliver Douglass." she snapped. "A few moments ago you were completely nude and it didn't bother you." Jeremy said puzzled. "I have seen you naked, I shall remember that sight. Why does it bother you?" "Forget it." Elvira said. "Mindy and I will deal with Oliver later. "What of her?" Jeremy asked, gesturing to Casey. "There's room in the dungeon." Helga suggested. "I got a better idea." Elvira said, a little smirk on her face. Mindy knew that smirk of old and shuddered. Casey woke up feeling very strange. Her body seemed numb, but light as well. The last thing she remembered was Elvira throwing some water in her face. Then nothing. She opened her eyes and saw a very strange woman leaning over her. Taller than Casey, the woman was broad and solid. She had four arms, two sets of breast. But it was her glowing green eyes that captivated Casey. Eyes that seemed to draw her in. "I really must thank you dear." Aunt Petunia said, hefting the mesmerized Casey over her shoulder. "Anytime." Elvira said. "A slave at last." Petunia said, stroking Casey's legs. "But she will need training." "Knock yourself out." Elvira said. Petunia blew her a kiss and carried Casey up with her into the shadows. "I'm not sure about this El." Mindy said. "Any other ideas?" "No, but in one night you've given the spider people a false god to worship and now you've given her a slave. It doesn't seem right." "I disagree." Jeremy said. "The spider people have always needed a god. Why they used to worship a Spiderman doll I had." "Besides my aunt always loved sex and s&m and stuff." Calliope said. Mindy fell silent, but her face betrayed her worries. "Hey the suns coming up." Calliope called, pointing. They all looked out the window at the sunrise. A sparkling display of color and energy. The light from it filled the room. Out of the corner of her eye Mindy saw Jack and Jill glow. I missed that, she thought. I missed so much. "Hey!" Calliope called. They all looked at her, even as she looked down at herself. "How come I'm not changing?" "You change at dawn?" Jeremy asked. "Yea. Usually." Jeremy hummed to himself. "That's not good." Elvira said. "What?" Mindy asked. "He hummed. It's never good when he hummms." "What's wrong with me?" Calliope screamed her voice squeaking. Jill reached over and gathered the were-mouse in her arms. "Well, it's only a supposition." Jeremy said. "But I recalled from your description of the fight that you were covered with the were-mouse potion. It seems to have changed the curse. Interesting, and worth study." "Should we take her to the lab?" Helga asked, the twins brightening. "NO!" Elvira and Mindy said at the same time. "We got two tinkerbells here." Elvira said. "They should be able to cure her." "Not so." Jack said. "I saw the curse Casey used, it is nothing we have seen before. "It has been millennia since we were entombed." Jill said. "Magic is not a static science." "We'll need samples." Helga said. "No way." Mindy said, putting her arms in front of Calliope and Jill. "I'll go back and get Casey's spell book. It might take me a while but I'll figure it out. Besides you still have to help Elvira." "Actually I have been working on that problem." Jeremy said. Reaching into his pocket he pulled out a watch and handed to Elvira. It was an oversized aviators watch, with dozens of small dials. "This is a field effect inhibitor. It should prevent you from shrinking and growing." "Should?" Elvira asked, looking at the watch doubtfully. "I estimate it will be 70% effective 85% of the time." Jeremy said. "In the meantime I will search for a more permanent solution." "So it might work sometimes." Elvira said, her voice full of resignation. "Yes." "Yea." Elvira deadpanned, putting on the watch. "But what about me?" Calliope called. "I'll miss school." "So there's an upside." Elvira said. "I'll find a cure." Mindy said. "I promise." "I wish my mom was here." Calliope said, sinking to the tabletop. "Do you guys have a time machine?" Mindy asked. "Uncle Tom has one." Jeremy said. "I remember he was showing it off last Christmas." "But he only traveled back in time to tell us he'd have it finished by the end of next summer." "I'll email him." Jeremy said. "But what will I do in the meantime?" Calliope said. "I got a test next week." They all fell silent for a moment. Then Jeremy spoke up. "Well, there is the: "R" project." "That will take a months allowance!" Helga protested. "What..." Mindy started to ask but Elvira held up her hand. "Maybe not. After all we'll be helping someone, and Mother is always on us to help more people." Jeremy looked over at Elvira. "Of course it would also help if she didn't have to worry about babysitting cost for a while." Elvira stared at him, growling. Then looked around the table. Finally she sighed. "Done. Now what the hell is project R?" "Well when we realized Mindy might be sacrificed to Aunt Petunia, Helga and I knew we were in trouble." "Mother gets really mad when we loose babysitters to ritual sacrifices." Helga said. Mindy let the breath out of her body in low toned gasp. "So we ordered a robot replica of Mindy." "Where the hell do you get a robot that looks like me?" "The female section of the Playboy edition of the secret robot section of the Toy's R Us catalog." Jeremy said. "All they needed were pictures." "And you had those." Elvira said. Mindy was just staring at the twins. "Of course." Helga said. "We can just adjust the order and Calliope can ride around in robot. They are not hard to operate." "Cool." Calliope said. "Will it have like superpowers and stuff?" "Not unless we get the deluxe model." "Ok." Elvira said. "But what happens when someone notices Calliope's aunt is missing." "Mother will handle that." Helga said. "She always does." "Of course." Elvira said, turning to Mindy. "Now do you understand why I wanted to babysit alone?" Mindy sighed and leaned back into her chair. "What about you?" she asked Jill. "We have a world to explore." Jack said. "And many of our kind are still trapped in their gem prisons." "We will find them." Jill said. "And free them, and give them bodies as you have done for us." "And when they are free we shall return." Jack announced, his eyes flashing as he smiled. "Great." Elvira said. "Just what this town needs, more little people." END. ************* Elvira Peterson and the Witch's kids Episode nineteen: A Little Vengeance By Skytower A few weeks ago Mindy McConnell decided to visit her friend Elvira Peterson while Elvira was babysitting Jeremy and Helga Carion. This was a mistake. Helga gave Mindy a potion that turned her into a fairy. This led to a series of adventures after which Mindy was cured. But from every adventure there are repercussions. Mindy is about to learn that the hard way. (c)1999 by Skytower "I want my brother out of jail." Mindy jumped, loosing her towel. She was in the girl's locker room, having just finished a work out in the school gym. It was early Monday evening and almost no one hung around the school. Lisa Douglas bent down and picked up the towel. Lisa stood five feet six inches. She was handsome girl with a square jaw, light brown hair and a somewhat chubby build. She looked up at Mindy, but didn't return the towel. Mindy looked down at her. Mindy stood at a towering five feet eleven inches. Long blonde hair flowed past her shoulders. Her body was both grand and solid, with large breast and wide hips. She spared a glance at the two girls flanking Lisa. Monica and Rachel were friends (or flunky's) of the Douglas clan and used to doing their dirty work. Monica was a thick girl as tall as Mindy, Rachel was a slightly stockier girl shorter than Lisa. The fact that they were all dressed in black jeans and sweaters, with bulges in their pockets that could have been anything, was enough to worry Mindy. "Your brother put my little brother through hell for two months." Mindy said. She kept her voice calm, as if they were talking about the weather. "Harmless fun." Lisa said, handing the towel to Monica. Monica handed it to Rachel who folded it and put it on the bench. Pointedly out of Mindy's reach. Casually Mindy reached into her locker and pulled out a bra. "He got him drunk and put a gun in his hands." "He was just having some fun." Lisa insisted. "Your brother was the one who wanted to hang around with him." "He had fun all right." Mindy said, putting on a pair of underwear. "He had my brother so twisted the kid started drinking." "So the punk couldn't handle it." Lisa said. "That any reason to throw my brother in jail?" "How about a collapsed ceiling?" Mindy asked, pulling on a pair of pants. "Fifteen hundred to get that fixed when Oliver told my brother to put in a hidden camera. That was after he got tired of having Robin steal my underwear." "We can pay for that." Lisa said. "Can you pay for the police car my little brother shot up?" "We already did." Lisa said. "It took a pretty good donation to the DA's reelection fund, but we did it. He's willing to overlook youthful indiscretions." "I'm not." Mindy said coldly. She was mad enough not to care that Monica and Rachel were slowly easing themselves around her. "Maybe..." Lisa started. "Maybe you should stop watching old gangster films." Elvira said. They all looked up to see her standing by the edge of the lockers, casually holding a hockey stick. Monica and Rachel quickly moved away from Mindy. Elvira was small, five feet five inches, but it was five feet five inches of muscle and fury. Elvira was wearing a pair of jeans and an UnderTaker T-shirt. She moved nonchalantly down the isle to stand beside Mindy. "Think it through Lisa." Elvira said, reaching into Mindy's locker and handing her a turtleneck sweater. "Let's say you and your friends do beat Mindy up, and I don't kill you for it later on. All Mindy does is go to the police, swear out another complaint and you're in jail. She doesn't really need witnesses, since she'll fight back and get some of your skin under her fingernails." Mindy sat down and pulled on her boots. "This isn't a bad made for tv movie." "We were just talking." Lisa said, her voice strained. "Won't do you any good. Talk in court, we both know that Douglas is going to get off with probation. Your father's spread enough money around for that." "It'll still be on his record." Lisa said, taking a step back. Monica and Rachel joined her. "Doug's got a good shot at Harvard, he needs a clean record." "He's not going to have one." Elvira said. "Look Lisa I'm sorry." Mindy said, standing up and grabbing her book bag. "I know he's your brother, but he's a creep. I'm not dropping charges." "And I'll be around." Elvira said, taking Mindy's arm. "Bye now." "Dykes!" Lisa swore, slamming the door to her room shut. What made her more mad than anything was that Elvira was right. Simply beating Mindy up wasn't going to do it. But they might have scared her, at least a little. Thrown her enough so that her father's lawyer could take her apart on the stand. But there was no hope of that now, not with Elvira hanging around her. Lisa had seen Elvira fight, wolverines were gentle by comparison. Monica and Rachel may have been willing to rough Mindy up a bit, but they weren't going to tangle with Elvira. Taking a deep breath Lisa walked out to her balcony and looked down on the town. Her kingdom, as she liked to think of it, or at least it would be when she grew up. The Douglas Mansion was on top of Sunshine Hill. Built at the turn of the century by Alex Douglas it was an architect's dream of an antebellum mansion. Wide white columns, two floors and large windows. The front of the house looked down on the town, while the back looked toward the secret military base on the edge of Heavenly Swamp. Lisa's room was in the front and laid claim to the large porch over the driveway. "Think Lisa." she said, going to over to the large telescope she had gotten for her last birthday. Theoretically it was to look at the sky. In reality was to spy on the town. Information, as her father often said, was power. Lisa focused the telescope on Mindy's house. She could see the living room, kitchen and part of the yard, but all the bedrooms were in the back. The same was true for Elvira's house. Swearing Lisa walked back into her room and lay down on the bed. She picked up a stuffed panda and hugged it to herself as she thought. It wasn't that she wanted to help her brother out so much as she wanted to get into Harvard too. A black mark on his record could find it's way to her's quite easily. She didn't want to be running for public office one day and have to answer embarrassing questions about her brother. It'd be easy if Elvira and Mindy were really lovers, Lisa thought. A couple off good X or even R pictures would free her brother in a snap. But they weren't, she had checked, no one had seen even a hint of lesbian activity. N or had anyone believed the ones she had spread. Aside from some crazy stories about Elvira changing size there was no dirt on either of them. But if there was no dirt, as her father pointed out, then you had to make some. But how? The picture idea was still good, Lisa was sure of it. Mindy was paranoid about boys looking at her, about anyone looking at her really. If Lisa could just get one shot, even just a topless one... If Mindy spilled something on her blouse maybe... But no, Mindy was warned now, she'd see the photo-op coming. Besides Mindy and Elvira would know who it was, and they might go to the police. An extortion rap would definitely keep her out of Harvard. An idea came to Lisa suddenly, as if a flash of lightning illuminated the darker part of her soul. A fully formed fiendish plan lay there. She got up and walked over to the doors to the balcony, closing them silently. Then she dropped the shades and closed the curtains. Again quietly, she walked over and locked her door. The she walked into her closet and pushed the cloths to one side. A touch on one part of the wall moved a panel revealing a safe. She opened it, cupping one hand over to other to hide the combination. Then she took out a small bottle. The bottle was her families' dark secret. Her ancestor had been a pirate, and from one of the cities looted he had found the bottle. Lisa took into her room and put it on the bed, kneeling as she did so. The bottle was Arabic in style, with golden glass framed by ruined iron. Lisa took the top off and rubbed it slightly. Instantly smoke billowed out from the bottle. Dark blue in color it flowed over to the bed and formed itself into a human shape. Fair of skin and with light brown hair the genie was as she had been since that long ago day when Isaac Douglas had found her. She was a medium sized woman with hazel eyes and a slightly plump figure. A blue silk cord bound her wrist together behind back and crossed above and below her chest, causing her breast to stand out against her red halter-top. She wore flowing multi- colored pantaloons and a red jewel sat in her navel. A red ball gag prevented her from speaking. According to family legend Isaac had found the genie and she had offered him the traditional three wishes. But Isaac had heard a legend about genies. If you could bind one before the three wishes were used up, she was yours forever. He had surprised her from behind and bound her, and from that day forward Cathy (Originally it was Cathay, Isaac had named her after his ship, but no one used that name anymore) was the Douglas family slave. She was not as powerful as a free genie. In fact by binding her and keeping her bound the family was slowly killing her. But that process would take centuries. Lisa had been told the whole story on her sixteenth birthday. The next night she took the bottle when everyone else was asleep, having long since learned the location and combination of her fathers' safe. At her command Cathy took the memory of the bottle from everyone in the family. Power, as Lisa's father had often told them, was to be hoarded, not shared. Trouble was a bound genie was just not that powerful. Lisa had expected some one who could perform miracles, but Cathy could barely change someone into a toad. Still Lisa was patient, she learned over time how to use the genie. Cathy was good for little things, like exam papers, or having another students dress fall apart at the right moment. In the two years since she had gotten the genie Lisa had used her well. But Lisa knew that for anything big Cathy was useless. She had already tried to use Cathy to get Oliver out of jail, but Cathy just wasn't powerful enough. She could get him out of jail, but not erase the crimes he committed. The paperwork of the legal system defeated her. "I've got a job for you." Lisa said, taking the gag out of Cathy's mouth. "Yes mistress." Cathy said. Her voice was sweet, but tired, with an edge of fear. "Relax, I'm not going to punish you." Lisa said. "I want a schedule for Elvira Peterson's babysitting jobs." Cathy blinked and a sheet of paper appeared beside Lisa. She studied the paper and walked over to her computer. Cathy stood up and stretched as much as she was able. Her hazel eyes were clouded with pain, and she moved as if gravity was twice for her what it would be for a normal person. "I need a couple of parents." Lisa said, getting up. "They need to be wholesome, but I only need them for a night. Can you do it." "One parent mistress." Cathy said. "Just one?" "Yes mistress." "It'll do. I also need to loose a few years for the same night. Can you make me," she paused for a moment thinking, "twelve years old?" "Yes." Lisa looked at her sharply and Cathy added, "mistress." "Just the body, I'd still be me, still have my mind and current memories, but I'd be twelve." "Yes mistress." A week later Lisa stood in a new bedroom. This house was one of the many her father owned around town. Empty since he had thrown the last tenants out. The house sat near the Dead Diamond River, a run down fifties ranch house with a lot of land around it. It was perfect for Lisa's plan. She had been there a lot during the week, cutting school when necessary. The house was now infested with hidden cameras, microphones and speakers. Every room, every hallway, all wired to motion detectors and leading to a central station in the cellar. Lisa's new mother, a slight woman just starting to gray sat in the living room. She wore a conservative flowered dress with her hair curled. Essentially she was just like the house, bland and non-threatening. "Do it." Lisa commanded. On the bed Cathy blinked, scrunching up her face with the effort. The spell enveloped Lisa like a cold shower turning warm. She felt the change first in her head. Lisa's world changed as her eyes moved closer together. She felt her teeth change, getting smaller. Lisa looked down and saw her chest deflate. Opening her blouse she saw her breast slowly flatten and her nipples grow lighter. Stunned she let the blouse drop to the floor. Her pants and underwear fell down. Awkwardly she stepped out of her cloths, looking at the naked twelve-year-old in the mirror. Stubby fingers, button nose, moppet style hair. "I was a cute kid." she said, reveling in the way her image smiled back at her. "Cute and harmless." Quickly she dressed in "Little Mermaid" pajamas. Cathy lay on the bed passed out. Lisa put the gag back into her mouth, then tied her ankles together. With the genie Lisa took no chances. For the next hour she moved through the house, rechecking everything. Mindy pulled the car into the driveway and stopped. The car was a true luxury to her. A 1959 silver Malibu Stacy Thunderbird. Originally it had only been about a foot long, but Mindy had talked Jeremy Carrion into hitting it with a growing ray. The car, originally a toy but modified by aliens, had gadgets that would make James Bond green with envy. With Lisa Douglas around Mindy didn't want to take any chances. Lisa was not the type to give up easily. Mindy looked at the ranch house. It was not a beautiful place. The paint was peeling, the roof needed work as did the yard. But it was a job, and since Elvira was babysitting someone else it was Mindy's job. Following Elvira's advice Mindy wore a pair of jeans with a t-shirt and plaid shirt over that. It showed off her figure, which Mindy didn't like, but skirts, as Elvira often pointed out, were dangerous. They could catch on things, be hammered into the floor and were easily set on fire. She also warned that the bulky turtlenecks Mindy normally wore were just perfect for dropping bugs into. Walking up to the door Mindy rang the bell. There was a short pause and a pleasant looking woman in her forties opened the door. "Hi, I'm Mindy McConnell." "Come in, I'm Mrs. Ephemeral." She stood back and Mindy walked past her into the house. Mindy glanced around quickly. In front of her was a set of stairs leading up. To her right was a small kitchen, to her left a living room. Past the stairs was a smaller door that Mindy guessed led to the cellar. "Elizabeth!" Mrs. Ephemeral called. A chubby girl in little mermaid pajama's came bounding down the stairs and leapt into Mindy's arms. "Is this her mom?" "Yes dear, now you be good." She put a coat on and gave the girl a quick kiss. "I'll be back in a few hours, Oh and I told Liz she could back some cookies. Bye." Well that was abrupt, Mindy thought as she put Liz down. She watched as Mrs. Ephemeral walked down the to the street and turned left. "Come on." Liz said, grabbing Mindy's arm and pulling her toward the kitchen. "Lets bake." Lisa could barely contain herself. Mindy had looked straight at her and not recognized her. The leap into the taller girls arms had come out of the blue, but it seemed natural. In fact Lisa seemed to have a lot more energy, there was a bounce in her step that wasn't there before. It was a lot more fun being a kid, Lisa reflected. "So what do you want to make?" Mindy asked. Compared to some of the horror stories Elvira told, cooking was not dangerous. "Fudge." Liz said, pulling a pan out of a bottom cabinet. I made some mix and put it up on the shelf this afternoon." "You put it up there?" Mindy asked, spotting a bowl. The shelf sat just under the ceiling. Even with a chair she doubted the little girl could reach it. "I meant my mom did." Liz said. Shrugging Mindy pulled a chair over and climbed it. She had just lifted the bowl up when a rat poked his head out of the wall to her left. Mindy screamed and fell back, landing hard on the floor with the fudge bowl landing on top of her head. "Hey!" Liz cried, falling on top of her and spilling the cooking oil she had been carrying onto Mindy's lap. "You all right?" Liz asked, getting off of her. "I saw a rat behind the wall." "Creepy." Liz said. "We have the exterminators coming next week. Mindy stood up, grabbing a dishtowel. The fudge mix had seeped into her hair and shirt and the cooking oil was doing the same to her jeans. "Oh great." she said. "Messy." Liz agreed. "Come on, I'll show you where the bathroom is." The bathroom was at the top of the stairs to the right. To the left was another door that Mindy assumed went to a bedroom. The bathroom was small, with a toilet, small window and a shower. The shower was a phone booth sized chamber with a frosted glass door. Across from it was a full-length mirror. A small cabinet set into the wall held a supply of towels. Another towel hung from a hook next to the shower. "Boy you're big." Liz said, giggling as Mindy undressed. "Yea, I know." Mindy said, blushing slightly. "These are going to take a while to wash." Liz said, taking the cloths as Mindy peeled them off her body. "You want to use my mother's robe?" "Yea, thanks." Mindy said, stepping into the shower. A small rack hanging from the shower nozzle held a shampoo bottle. "You gotta close the door or the water leaks out." Liz said. "Ok." Mindy closed the door and turned on the water. A jet of mercifully warm water hit her and she ducked her head under it. So much for cooking not being dangerous, she thought. Lisa ran down to the basement, stopping only to grab all the towels out of the bathroom. Then she grabbed all the sheets, pillowcases, curtains and anything else Mindy could use to cover herself. Once in the basement she turned on the monitor, getting a full color shot of Mindy in the shower. "Beautiful." Lisa said. Mindy rinsed out her hair and then began to soap up her breast. Lisa spared a glance at the VCR. It was recording it all. "A couple of these shots and Mindy forget all about pressing charges." What Lisa should have done at that point was go on with her original plan. Get some nude shots of Mindy, call back the fake parent and get Mindy out of the house. But Lisa was having too much fun to think about the plan. A sudden thought hit her. Grabbing a sticki-note she scribbled something on it and ran back up stairs. Mindy showered quickly, getting the fudge mix out of her hair and rinsing off her face. Turning off the water she opened the door and reached for the towel. It wasn't there. Puzzled the wet babysitter stepped out and opened the cabinet door. Only empty space and a note greeted her. "Hide and seek." the note said, scrawled in a child's hand. "Liz!" Mindy growled. Outside the door she heard the child giggling. "LIZ!" She shouted, opening the door. The hallway was empty. Again Mindy heard giggling, this time from the room across the hallway. Trying to cover herself with her hands Mindy charged across, opening the door only to discover an empty bedroom. The sheets, curtains, everything was gone. "El was right." Mindy said, turning back to the hallway. "Never trust em." Mindy boldly walked down the stairs, looking for Lisa. If it had been a little boy she'd be more upset, but for a little girl Mindy could stand being naked. At least for a few minutes. Lisa watched with glee as Mindy walked through the house. She was getting views of Mindy that not even her brother dreamed off. It would have been a shame to waste all those cameras after all. Suddenly she realized that Mindy was heading for the cellar door. Spinning around the girl grabbed Cathy and pulled the ball gag from her mouth. "Make the cellar door look like the rest of the wall." "Yes mistress." Cathy said, blinking. Breathing a sigh of relief Lisa turned back to the monitor. Mindy stood in front of the door, looking puzzled. Then she went back up stairs. "I'll leave her here naked." Lisa giggled. "Got enough power to get me, you and this tape back to my room?" "Yes Mistress." "Yes!" Lisa exclaimed as she reached for the off switch of the VCR. But a glance at the monitor stopped her. Mindy was laying on the bed. The tall blonde convulsed, hugging herself into a fetal position. Then she changed. Lisa watched astounded as Mindy started to shrink. It was quick, taking only a few seconds. Wings grew from Mindy's back, antenna appeared on her forehead. When it was done a doll sized fairy sat on the bed. "What the hell... Did you do that?" Lisa demanded, turning to Cathy. "No mistress." Cathy said. "Then what happened?" "I do not know, mistress." "Find out." Lisa ordered. Cathy blinked and a look of understanding flashed onto her face. "She is a were-fairy, mistress. Cursed to become a fairy when the moon is full." "Really?" Lisa said, turning to the screen. Mindy had stood up and was examining her self. "Put a cage around her." "I can not mistress." "What?" Lisa slapped the genie hard across the face. "Why can't you do anything?" "She is a fairy mistress." Cathy said, her face turning red from Lisa's blow. "Even were I free my magic could not affect her." "Great. Then seal this house up so she can't escape, and get me a net." Lisa started to get up, even as a butterfly net appeared in her hand. "Wait a minute." She stopped, looking at the screen. "What sort of magic does she have? Can I fight it?" Mindy stood up and looked at herself, for a moment reveling in her new body. She was a fairy once more. Still tall and buxom, but now her breasts no longer bounced as she walked, for they were filled with wing muscles. Her fingers and toes were longer now. The antenna started from her temples, then curved gracefully over her eyebrows to the center of each eye. From there they reached about a foot above her head. They were incredibly sensitive, with nipples at each tip. She flapped her wings and hovered a little above the bed, exulting in the pleasure of flight. "Gotcha!" Liz shouted, showering something on her. Mindy fell to the bed, gasping for air. Suddenly she started to sneeze. "Liz... what?" Mindy managed to say between sneezes. Desperately she tried to remember some of the fairy magic she could now use. But all her attention was centered on her nose. "Music to my ears." Liz said, picking Mindy up carried her down stairs. Mindy tried desperately to struggle, shout or even think but all she could do was sneeze. Liz carried her into the living room and held her down on the table. She pulled one of Mindy's arms out and held it down. Then she reached over and picked up a hammer. Mindy screamed, terror breaking through the sneezing. She clenched her eyes shut and waited for the pain. But all she heard was Liz giggling. Opening her eyes Mindy saw the child put a wire tack over her wrist. It was U shaped, with a white plastic at the bottom. Inverted and pounded into the table it held her wrist perfectly. Suddenly Mindy realized she wasn't sneezing anymore. Instantly a spell came to mind, but even as she started to speak Liz sprinkled something over her face. Once again the sneezing consumed her. "Pepper?" Mindy gasped out between sneezes. "Tom and Jerry rules." Liz said, giggling as she secured Mindy's other arm. She spread Mindy's legs apart and secured them as well. Once that was done Liz took a magic marker and traced a geometric pattern with Mindy at its center. As soon as it was finished the pattern glowed scarlet. In the center Mindy felt like a fish being pulled out of the water. Her limbs seemed to turn to lead, her mind was coated in mist and fog. "What...?" Mindy tried to speak and suddenly forgot how. "Just grounded you out for a while." Liz said. "You'll feel better in a few minutes, but no magic." She was right, Mindy could feel her strength returning, but that part of her that could summon and control the mystical energy of the universe was dead. It was like one of her limbs was asleep she knew it was there, but couldn't use it. "Why? How?" Liz threw back her head and laughed, but it wasn't the innocent laughter of a child. This laugh had a biting edge to it. "Big strong Mindy." Liz said, prodding Mindy's helpless body with her finger. She traced a path from Mindy's feet to her vagina, then up over her stomach, stopping at her breast. With two fingers she massaged Mindy's chest. Mindy squirmed, but did no more than that. "There's guys in school who'd give good money to see you like this. With or without the wings." She traced a path over Mindy's antenna. "You gotta wonder about it too. After all, how big can a guys cock be before it gets too big?" "Lisa?" Mindy shouted, truly scared. "You should have dropped the charges." Lisa said, laughing. "I was gonna just get some nude shots of you, but now... but now..." she laughed and stood up. "Wait here, I'll be back in a few minutes." With that the little girl stood up and walked toward the cellar door. As she walked into the cellar an inner argument raged within Lisa Douglas. The normal Lisa, the one who had existed a few hours before, was all for taking the tape and going. Mindy was not going to stay a fairy forever, only as long as the moon was up, and if she grew while Lisa was still small the game was over. The mature Lisa would have made a quick copy of the tape and hidden it, perhaps have called Monica or Rachel. They could have corroborated Lisa's story. At the very least mature Lisa would have gotten the genie to put her back to her normal age. But that Lisa was years away, and though Lisa still had eighteen years of memories, the maturity that went with those memories had been swallowed by the recklessness of youth. This Lisa didn't like to share. The Lisa who hummed and skipped back up the steps had a new doll to play with. "I am in deep trouble." Mindy said. With all her might she strained against the wire staples, but they held her easily. "Helga if I ever get out of this you have some explaining to do." "I'm back." Lisa sang, poking her head around the door. "Miss me?" "How did you know how to drain my powers?" Mindy demanded. "It's a secret." Lisa teased, setting a bottle down on the table. In her other hand she held a box of crayons. "I might tell you later on, after I'm through coloring." "What are you going to color?" Mindy asked. There are some questions that should never be asked. Even as the words left Mindy's mouth she knew it was a silly question. A straight line of mythic proportions. She shuddered as Lisa gave the inevitable answer. "A fairy." Though Mindy squirmed and writhed with every bit of muscle she had there was no escape. Lisa colored her feet blue, tickling Mindy to near black out levels in the process. The colored wax moved smoothly over her skin. Her left leg was done in gray and her right leg in purple. It was between the legs that Lisa encountered her first problem. Mindy's bush was a wide V of hair that pulled and twisted as the wax was rubbed on it. "Stay still." Lisa said crossly. Mindy ignored her, trying her best not to become aroused. As a fairy her sex drive was far more than a humans. "Darn." Lisa said putting the crayon down. She got up and left the room, returning a few minutes later with a watercolor paint set. I never knew you were such and artist, Mindy thought as Lisa painted her bush orange. Luckily the water colored paint did little to arouse her. Lisa used black and white stripes on Mindy's stomach, again tickling her wildly as she did so. Mindy's breast were squeezed and pushed while Lisa colored one red and one yellow. She used brown on the upper chest and arms. Each of Mindy's hands was colored black. Taking black crayon Lisa drew a Groucho mustache on Mindy's face and matched it with a set of fuzzy eyebrows. "There." Lisa said, sitting back to take a full look. "Almost done." "Almost?" Mindy echoed. "Gotta get the back." Lisa said, holding up a pair of needle nose pliers. Oh yea, Mindy thought, please give me a chance to get free. Lisa was smarter than that though. She pulled the nails that held Mindy's legs, but left the ones holding her wrist. Then she pulled the fairy's legs up until only Mindy's shoulders and neck were still on the table. Infuriated Mindy pulled against the nails holding her wrist. Slowly she felt them move. Mindy was so surprised she stopped straining. Then she started again. Lisa didn't notice, so intent was she on her coloring. Mindy realized that with the rest of her body straight up she had the leverage to free her arms. Bracing herself Mindy focused all her strength into her arms. "There." Lisa said, letting Mindy drop. "There!" Mindy shouted, pulling her arms free. In a second she was airborne and heading toward the door. "Hey!" Lisa shouted, throwing a handful of crayons at her. They scattered in the air and a few of them hit Mindy in the back. The fairy dropped, but recovered in mid air just as Lisa was grabbing for her. Missing the fairy the child slammed the door shut. Flying to the ceiling Mindy grabbed a piece of the molding and held on. She looked down at the false child. "Come down here!" Lisa commanded. Mindy didn't bother answering, she just looked for a way out of the room. For a few minutes they just looked at each other. Mindy's wings ached where the crayons had struck them. Lisa was suffering the frustration that only a child could suffer. It was Lisa who broke the silence. "You can't get out, and you can't stay up there forever." "I don't have to stay up here forever." Mindy said. "We're not done playing." Lisa exclaimed. Deep within her the argument was raging again. Adult Lisa told her to forget about playing and just snap a few pictures. Immature Lisa was having none of that, she didn't brook disobedience from her dolls. More than one had gone into the micro-wave as punishment. Mindy deserved something like that. Immature Lisa then did the thing that Adult Lisa never would have. She picked up the lamp and rubbed it. Mindy could still be amazed. That surprised her. But seeing smoke come out of a bottle and solidifying into the shape of a young woman amazed her. At the same time a lot of things about the Douglas family snapped into focus. All the lottery wins the family had, all the lucky coincidences that kept them in wealth and luxury. They had all come from the bottle. The genie looked pale and worn. Her eyes were clouded with tears and her skin around the ropes was turning green. "Please mistress." she begged. "I need more rest." "Shut up." Lisa said. "Look I want a phaser like they have on star trek." The genie closed her eyes, summoning her magic. Mindy felt a stab of sympathy for her. From the knowledge she had as a fairy Mindy knew that genies were slaves, but she had never realized how completely captive they were. A phaser pistol from the original star trek show appeared Lisa's hand. She aimed and fired before Mindy could move. For a moment Mindy wondered if her fairy body could take a shot of charged energy. But nothing happened. "It doesn't work?" Lisa shouted, turning to the fairy. "I want a working one!" "I can't mistress, not without more rest... I am too weak." "Useless!" Lisa snapped, slapping her across the face. "Hey!" Mindy shouted, drifting down toward them. "Pick on someone who isn't tied up. Or isn't smaller than you." she added as Lisa swung at her. Mindy retreated to the ceiling once more. Pulling down the genie's top Lisa grabbed her nipple and twisted. Cathy cried out in pain and sank into the couch. "I want a working phaser." Lisa said coldly. "Or do you want me to get the shoes out again?" A look of terror came on Cathy's face and she blinked, passing out with the effort. Lisa spun around, the phaser in her hand. This time Mindy dodged and Lisa scorched the wall. "Darn." Lisa snapped, turning to the genie she slapped Cathy's breast. "See what you made me do?" "My bottle mistress." Cathy whimpered. "Must rest." "You'll get your rest when I say you will." Lisa said. Grabbing the genies shoulders Lisa forced her face down onto the couch and put the bottle a foot away from her. "Don't move." Lisa looked up and saw Mindy hovering near the door. She quickly reset the phaser and fired again. The door vanished in a crimson glow and Mindy flew out of the room. Screaming Lisa charged after her. Mindy flew back into the room a few minutes later. Behind her Lisa could be heard shouting and firing. Cathy lay where she had been ordered to lie. Her legs were in an awkward position under her and her face was pressed hard into the fabric. With pained hazel eyes she watched as Mindy flew toward her. "Please..." she whispered, obviously talking with great effort. "Help me." "Hold on." Mindy said, flying to the ropes. But at her present size the knots were as big as a hand bag and as tight as steel chains. Mindy pulled and twisted with everything she had, but couldn't budge them. "Sorry." Mindy said, flying back in front of her face. "But your stuck until I get back to full size." "My bottle." the genie looked longingly at where Lisa had put the bottle. Mindy walked over and pushed the bottle over, then rolled it over until it nearly touched Cathy's face. "Help me." Cathy pleaded. Suddenly understanding Mind put one hand on the rim of the bottle and the other hand on the genie's forehead. Cathy blinked and they were suddenly enveloped in a cloud of smoke. Mindy felt her body go soft, like she had been suddenly dumped in a whirlpool bathtub. Smoke was all around her, but she had no trouble breathing. The smoke swirled around her for a time that could have been an instant or a year. When it cleared they were in what looked like a dungeon. It was a dungeon like many Mindy had seen in her comic books. Torches lit the place dimly, making it hard to tell how large it was. In the center of the room was a large fire pit filled with red-hot coals. Four torture racks were spaced evenly around the fire pit. On the walls were numerous manacles. Cells lined the walls and small cages dangled from the shadowed ceiling. Mindy and the genie had materialized in a circle next to the fire pit. Mindy shuddered, the feeling of despair and pain was palpable. Suddenly she realized that Cathy had materialized next to her and both of them were the same size. Mindy was still a fairy though. "Easy." she said, letting Cathy down to the floor as gently as she could. "There." the genie said, lifting her head toward a large four poster bed set in one of the cells. The bed was completely out of place in the dungeon. It was round and curtained. Multi-colored silks, semi transparent giving off a faint gossamer glow contrasted with the dull black stone. Dozens of differently shaped and colored cushions lay on the bed. Mindy carried Cathy over to the bed and laid her down. The genie seemed to melt into the silks. "Let me get those ropes now." "No." the genie warned, but it was too late. A spark flew from the ropes and burned Mindy's hand. "Figures." Mindy said, rubbing the burn. "It's never that easy." "Please..." Cathy whispered, "water..." Mindy looked around and saw another anomaly in the next cell. A large crystal fountain in the shape of a butterfly sitting on a rose. The butterfly's wings were rainbow hued stain glass. From them a clear stream of water cascaded into the red bowl that the rose formed. Mindy walked over to it and took a small cup from the side of the bowl. She filled the cup and then walked back to the bed. Gently she eased Cathy into a sitting position and held the cup to her lips. The genie drank greedily, sucking the water from the cup as if she were dying of thirst. The more she drank the more solid she seemed to be, and Mindy realized that Cathy was drinking more than the cup could hold. But the water level never seemed to drop. For long minutes they sat there, Mindy holding her and Cathy drinking. Finally the genie stopped and looked up at Mindy with gratitude that bordered on worship. "Thank you, oh thank you." Cathy said, kissing Mindy's hand. "It's ok." Mindy said, easing her hand away. Cathy continued kissing, her face falling into Mindy's chest. "It's ok." Mindy repeated, a bit more forcefully this time. Cathy ignored her and kept kissing and nuzzling her. "Enough." Mindy said, firmly but gently. She let Cathy lay back on the bed and replaced the cup. "You actually live here?" "Were else would a genie live but in a bottle?" "It's not too cheery." Mindy said, walking back over to her. "This is not how it always was." the genie sat up on her own and looked around sadly. "Lisa's grandmother was a cruel, cowardly woman. She had me create this chamber, and one after another her enemies were brought here. She would torture them, then command me to return them to the world without memory. She took pictures as she tortured them, and then used those pictures to bend them to her will." "This is not a nice genetic tree to be messing with." Mindy said, sitting down. "How did you get mixed up with them." "The patriarch of the clan, Isaac Douglas found me." Cathy said. She turned pale at the memory and Mindy put an arm around her shoulders. "I had not been called for centuries, and I was careless. He bound me after his second wish, twisting me tightly with silken cords. Somehow he found out that if a genie is bound before the third wish she is enslaved to her capture. Aye to him and his family through the life of that family line. For ages I have been their slave. They never allowed me to drink, for fear I would become powerful enough to break free. I was only able to rest." She pressed her head into Mindy's shoulder. "Oh thank you for letting me drink." "Ok, we've established you're grateful." Mindy said, pushing her back. "Now lets figure out how to free you." "It can not be done." Cathy said. "I can only be freed by he who bound me, and he is dead." "So it can't be by Lisa or someone else in the family?" "No mistress." "Mindy, my names Mindy." "No mistress Mindy." "Just Mindy." "But you aided me." Cathy said, looking puzzled. "Despite that my power was used against you. Even now you take my part, surely you wish me for yourself mistress Mindy." Cathy lay down and put her head on Mindy's lap. Her eyes looked with longing and devotion toward the fairy. "And I wish nothing more than to serve you." "Why can't I ever get this from guys?" Mindy wondered aloud. Taking Cathy's shoulders she eased the genie back into a sitting position. "What is all this serving stuff anyway, you like being a slave?" "A genie is not a slave." Cathy insisted. "Your tied up in a dungeon." Mindy countered. "You do not understand." Cathy said. "As a servant I am useful, I am free from power." "But you still have power." "But I can not use it for myself and thus I am free." "What?" "As a free being I could have anything I wanted. But if you can have Everything you want, what is the point of having Anything. Freedom for my kind would mean omnipotence, but power without direction, without passion." "Oh." Mindy said, starting to understand. "You don't like being a slave, but you love being a servant." "Yes, for as I serve I have freedom from choice and responsibility." "Man that guy who wrote the Gor novels was completely off base." Mindy said. "Ok, let's deal the problems one at a time. Lisa first, me getting back to normal size second, your freedom last." "What ever you say mistress Mindy." Cathy said. Mindy sighed and decided to let the matter drop. Adult Lisa had finally gotten through to immature Lisa. It had taken twenty minutes but she got through. Lisa went back to the living room, phaser at the ready. The house was sealed Cathy had done that at least. Mindy had to be somewhere. She'd get the genie to conjure up an army of small dolls or something. Lisa stopped in the doorway, her stomach dropping as she looked for Cathy. The genie was no where in sight. Deep with in her Adult Lisa raised holy hell, breaking through the immature Lisa's prison of recklessness. Lisa went over to the couch and picked up the bottle. She rubbed it, hoping against hope that the genie would appear. Lisa breathed a sigh of relief when the familiar smoke issued forth and took shape on the couch. But there was something different about Cathy this time. Adult Lisa noticed it immediately, but with the fear gone she had little say in matters anymore. "Yes mistress." Cathy asked. "How'd you get back into the bottle without my permission?" Lisa demanded. "I..." Cathy hesitated, looking down. "Tell me the truth." Lisa ordered. "The fairy aided me." "Traitor!" Lisa snapped, slapping her across the face. "Where is she now?" "Still in the bottle mistress." "Then get us in there." Lisa commanded. "Yes mistress." Even as they changed from smoke to flesh Adult Lisa was screaming at Immature Lisa. But the warning came too late. The phaser was chopped out of her hand and before she could say a word a silk gag was wrapped around her mouth. "Hi there." Mindy said, smiling. Lisa looked at her, going white as she realized her height advantage was gone. Desperately she reached for the gag, but Mindy grabbed her hands and forced them behind her back. Then she lifted the girl up and carried her over to one of the torture racks. Lisa squirmed and twisted like a mad snake but Mindy held her down and forced her wrist and ankles into the manacles. After that a few turns of the wheel and Lisa was held taunt. Mindy stepped back and watched for a few moments as the girl pulled and twisted. Then she led Cathy over to the entrance. "Come on, we need some help." End. Well Lisa's taken care of for now, but Mindy now faces the problem of what to do with her. Also she has to figure out how to stop being a fairy during the full moon, or if she wants to stop being a fairy during the full moon. Not to mention the adoring genie (who is powerless unless Lisa tells her to do something) who wants to be her devoted servant. (Is this last part a problem?) More to come, stay tuned. ************** Elvira Peterson and the Witch's kids Episode twenty: Crisis on a Friday Night By Skytower Elvira Peterson eased her moped between the old station wagon and the wall of the garage, hitting the close door switch out of habit. She was tired and her muscles ached. Putting her helmet onto the handlebars she opened the door and walked through the kitchen to the living room. Her mother looked up from her book and smiled. "Hi honey. How did it go." "No problems." Elvira said smiling as she bounced up the stairs. Once on the top landing and out of her mother's line of sight she sagged and walked slowly into her room. "One day you're going to have to tell her." Guinevere said. She was lying on Elvira's bed, a Superman comic on her lap. Though they were sisters the only physical trait Elvira and Guinevere shared was deep brown eyes. Her sister would be taller than Elvira's five feet five inches in another few years. Her hair was blonde to Elvira's brown, her skin fair to Elvira's slightly darker tone. Guinevere had the round friendly eyes of a cartoon character, while Elvira's were smaller with arched eyebrows. At ten years old Guinevere thought her sisters life fun and adventurous. At 18 Elvira agreed with the adventurous part, but not the fun. Elvira grunted and let her self fall across the bed, tossing her bag into the floor in the same motion. Guinevere quickly pulled her legs up to avoid having her sister fall on them. "Right tell my mother I shrink to twelve inches if I get tickled too much. Remember the last time I tried to ask about getting my ears pierced?" "The cops wouldn't go away until they searched the house." Guinevere giggled. "They were sure some guy was holding us hostage." "Yea, a lot of fun." Elvira smiled ruefully as she sat up and pulled her shirt over her head. Her mother tended to scream during their arguments. Almost as loudly as Elvira managed to scream during their arguments. "How come the watch didn't work this time?" "It might have, if Mary hadn't just popped a Hershey's kiss into my mouth." Elvira said, looking at her sister sternly. That chocolate as well as sustained tickling could trigger her shrinking was a secret she had told only Mindy, Calliope and Guinevere. Yet somehow everyone she babysat, most of whom were her sister's friends, knew of it. Guinevere gave her sister the same wide-eyed innocent that served her so well in school and shrugged. "How'd you know I shrunk?" "No bra." Guinevere said. "You never put it back on after you get shrunk." "Oh yea." Elvira said, glancing down. Truthfully she didn't really need a bra. Her breast were not large, but she usually wore one anyway because her nipples were oversized and she was self conscious about them. "Back rub please." she said, lying back down on the bed. "What'd they make you do?" Guinevere asked, sitting on Elvira's back she began to massage her sisters' shoulders. "Well it seems that Todd lost all his marbles though a hole in the floor. I was elected to get them. Then Mary decided that I needed a bath." Elvira sighed. "So naturally it's a half hour in the bathroom sink while they argue who gets to do my hair. Luckily the chocolate wore off before the parents came home." "Well at least you were clean." "Oh yea, nothing gets you cleaner than getting dipped in baby shampoo and rubbed between two sponges." Elvira shuddered and relaxed as the tension was massaged out of her body. "You haven't forgotten about this Sunday have you?" "No." Elvira sighed. In return for Guinevere's silence about her condition Elvira was forced every so often to shrink herself and model Malibu Stacy cloths for her sister's award winning webpage. The costume designs were Guinevere originals, and earned her a little money from the toy company. Elvira wore enough makeup to make sure no one ever thought she was truly alive, just a well engineered piece of plastic with some bits of computer graphics thrown in. Privately Elvira thought she looked horrible, but the hit counter on Guinevere's website said otherwise. "Good, I just finished a Sailor Moon costume." "Swell." Elvira mumbled. Far worse than the original designs were Guinevere's tribute designs. "Mindy said she'd give me a lock of her hair for the wig." "She would." Elvira mumbled. Mindy had never missed a taping. Elvira knew that she enjoyed having her best friend doll sized. She would think that since Mindy had been changed into a fairy once herself that her best friend would have more sympathy. She didn't, and Mindy often giggled more than Guinevere did during the sessions. Guinevere massaged her for a few more moments. "You know blonde hair goes well with another costume..." "I AM NOT GOING TO BE SMURFETTE!" Elvira said her voice making the glass in the windows vibrate. "Ok, ok. But you'd be cute..." The phone rang and Elvira picked it up, ignoring her sister's giggle. Elvira loved hockey, and if her hockey stick shaped phone made her look silly as she talked, so be it. "Hello." Elvira mumbled. "Greetings Elvira." Jeremy Carrion said, his young voice sounding sweet. "Hi Jeremy." Elvira said, keeping her voice even. Guinevere however noticed that the muscles in her sisters' shoulders had gone rock hard. "We have a few problems here at the mansion that warrant your attention." "Yea right. Forget it Jeremy, I'm tired." "This is serious." Jeremy said, though his tone sounded as if he was discussing the weather. "Calliope has vanished and Mindy has shown up at our door, transformed into a fairy and in the company of a bound genie." "A what genie?" "A young woman in a harem costume who is tied up and claims to be a genie." "Let me talk to Mindy." "She is," Jeremy paused for a moment, "busy." Elvira heard a loud crash in the background. "I'll be over in a little while." Elvira said. An hour later Elvira pulled her moped up to the front door of Carrion Mansion. The mansion loomed before her, a near perfect portrayal of gothic menace. It had taken some fast talking to convince her mother to let her go, but she'd done it. She didn't want to think about what she owed her sister for backing her up. Parking her moped on the side of the house she went up to the large doors. The gargoyle shaped knocker gazed at her impassively as she took the ring hanging from its mouth and knocked. The house seemed to shudder, but Elvira was unaffected. She was a regular visitor to Carion Mansion. But when a trap door opened beneath her, plunging the young babysitter into darkness, she could not contain a frightened squeal. Far below the main floor of Carion mansion was a vast vaulted chamber. Once a mere cellar it had gone through many changes over the years. Currently it served as the main laboratory for Jeremy and Helga Carion. Sets of spiral stairs led into the lab, but were seldom used. The Carion twins preferred a long slide fed chute or in house teleportation. Elvira had used the chute before, but always from the inside of the house. She had never guessed that the lab could be accessed from the porch. Still she adapted quickly, stopping her scream and bracing herself for the landing. The landing when it came was far different from the last time she had been there. Instead of landing harshly on a worn mattress Elvira found herself falling, then stopping and floating. The transition from full speed fall to sudden hovering was so quick Elvira squealed again. She was in the entrance way to the lab, before her stretched table after table of bubbling chemicals and strange looking mechanical devices. At the far end was an enormous computer. After a moment Elvira found herself floating gently to the floor. "Upgraded." she said, forcing her voice to sound normal. The sound of shouting gave her little time to adjust. Looking up she saw Jeremy and Helga Carion were running around the tables, each carrying a net. The Carion twins looked as they always looked, in fact they hadn't seemed to age in the year and a half Elvira had known them. They both had the same red hair, his cut short, hers long, slim builds and cherubic faces. At the moment those faces glowed with child like delight and intensity. "Over this way!" Jeremy shouted. "Head her off!" Helga replied. "Get the hell away from me!" Mindy screamed. Elvira hadn't spotted her friend until the shout. Mindy hovered over the table, darting this way and that to avoid the nets. "STOP!" Elvira shouted in a voice that shook the vaulted ceiling. Jeremy, Helga and Mindy immediately froze for an instant. Then Mindy flew like a dart straight into her friends' chest. "Help!" Mindy shouted. "They want samples!" "If we are going to help her we need data." Jeremy said, putting down his net. "It's not like she needs all of her toes." Helga mumbled, putting down her own net. "And it would most likely grow back." Jeremy added. "Cool it kids." Elvira said, plucking Mindy off of her chest. "How ya doing?" "I'm shrunk!" Mindy shouted at her. "No kidding, now calm down and tell me what happened." Elvira could see Mindy take a deep breath and slow her wings. It had been a few months since she had last seen Mindy as a fairy and she had forgotten how stunning a sight it was. Normally her friend stood nearly six feet tall, now she stood about a foot high. Her figure was still voluptuous, but her fingers and toes were longer and she had antenna growing out of her forehead. Dragonfly style wings sprouted from the center and small of her back. Elvira, used to being doll sized while her friend played the giant, found the change almost fun. Reaching down Elvira pulled Mindy from her shirt and held her in the palm of her hand. "That was no babysitting job I went to." Mindy said, visibly forcing herself to calm down. "Lisa Douglas set a trap." "She turned you into a fairy?" Elvira asked. "No, I just changed. Cathay said I'm some sort of moon fairy now." "Who's Cathay?" "I think she might be the genie tied up in the dining room." Jeremy said. "You guys have been busy tonight." Elvira said. "We did not bind her." Helga said. "Ok, lets go up to the dining room, I want all the facts at once for a change." Mindy couldn't stop herself from shuddering until they left the lab and were well on their way to the dining room. She had no idea what was wrong with her, but from the time she and Cathay had left the genie's bottle anxiety had grown within her. It ate at her mind, making it hard to think. She hugged her Elvira's shirt as they climbed the stairs, trying to dig her small fingers through the fabric and touch her friends' breast. Warmth spread through body at the thought of touching Elvira's skin, and Mindy shifted her hand until she could reach above the hem and touch the exposed neck. With that touch all the anxiety seemed to melt away, to be replaced by a warm hungering sensation between her legs. The first thing Elvira saw when she entered the dining room was a bound woman wearing a harem costume. She was nearly Elvira's height, with a plump figure and light brown hair. Her arms had been crossed behind her back and a series of ropes held them there. The ropes ran under and around her breast framing them. A ball gag hung at her throat, ready to be put in. She was sitting calmly at the table, watching a small TV. "Mistress Mindy!" Cathay said, standing and rushing over to Elvira. "Are you well?" "Fine." Mindy said, sounding like she was half asleep. "Mistress Mindy?" Elvira asked. Reaching down she pulled Mindy off of her chest. "How come I get crazed supervillains and you get adoring genies?" For an answer Mindy leapt out of Elvira's hand and dove beneath her friends shirt. "Hey!" Elvira shouted, reaching into her shirt. There was a few seconds worth of battle as Mindy held onto Elvira's nipple, but Elvira prevailed. Grabbing her friends' legs she pulled her out. "The moon is still high." Cathay said, almost sadly. "What?" "While the moon is high Mistress Mindy has not the strength to resist her fairy nature." Cathay said, looking down. "My spell took that strength from her." "Well great." Elvira snapped. Taking firm hold of Mindy she pressed her down on the table. "Jeremy, get me a jar of cold water will ya?" The frigid water did its job almost instantly. Mindy felt an intense shock as her nerves screamed of the sudden cold. Her mind cleared at about the same time the flush came to her face. "Feeling better?" Elvira asked. "Yea." Mindy mumbled. Climbing out of the jar she sat down and leaned against it. Though it was not the first time Mindy had seen the dining hall of Carion Mansion from a fairies vantage point, the shock of the cold water brought the room into an almost crystal clarity. It was a classic room with a vaulted ceiling, candle chandeliers, deep wood paneling with evenly spaced portraits of Carion family ancestors, a roaring fireplace and a long wood table. The romantic in Mindy adored it. But the romantic part of her huddled in the back of her mind, shivering with the rest of her. "Now you know how I felt when you and Guinevere dropped me into the ice tea." Elvira said, handing her a washcloth. Mindy gave her a mean look, but took the cloth and wrapped it around her body. "Now want to tell me what happened?" "I went to that babysitting job for Mrs. Ephemeral." Mindy said. "But the her daughter Elizabeth turned out to be Lisa Douglas in disguise. She tricked me into getting my cloths covered in fudge sauce, then swiped them when I was in the shower." "You couldn't see through Lisa's disguise?" Elvira asked. "It was not a disguise." Cathay said, speaking up. "Lisa commanded me to make her a child." Mindy shuddered, remembering how easy it had been for the supposed twelve year old to trick her. Poor kid, Elvira thought. It was like any rookie she had ever taught to play the game of hockey, you could warn them all you wanted, nine times out of ten they'd still blow the first shift. Babysitting in their town was dangerous. "The name if nothing else should have tipped you off." Jeremy said. "The word: "Ephemeral" means short lived. Mindy sunk lower into her washcloth. "Shut up Jeremy." Elvira snapped. Then she turned to Mindy once more. "Ok, so your getting out of the shower naked, what then?" "I started to look for her." Mindy said. "I still thought it was Elizabeth. I was mad." "And somewhat foolish." Jeremy said. "Babysitting isn't as easy as it looks in all the horror movies." Elvira said. "So did Lisa pop out with a camera and get a shot of you?" "No." Mindy said. She paused, remembering. Suddenly a thought occurred to her. "No, she didn't. But I'm not sure why, I mean I was naked, she couldn't have known I was going to turn into a fairy. Why didn't she have a camera ready?" "She did Mistress Mindy." Cathay said. "She had spent the previous week installing all manor of cameras and microphones throughout the house. They were connected to a recording system in the cellar. I believe she was about to leave with the tapes when she saw you change." "Oh." Mindy looked stunned. "So when Lisa saw Mindy change she lost all interest in getting out of there with the tape." Elvira said. "Yes." "Interesting." Helga said. "Then the tape is still there?" "The tape!" Mindy shouted, standing up with a look of panic on her face. "El we've got to get that tape! I was showering..." she stopped, a look of panic coming on her face. "With soap... and... and... soap...!" "Calm down Mindy." Elvira said. "Cathay does anyone else know about the house?" "No. My mistress could not tell anyone without revealing my existence, and she will not do that." "Ok, we have some time then." Elvira said. "Right." Mindy said, taking a deep gulp of air. "But El if anyone ever sees that tape..." "I'll go get the tape." Elvira said. "You wait here." Elvira looked at Jeremy and Helga. "Any chance you can reverse this spell thing with getting samples?" The twins looked at each other for a moment, then at Mindy. "Hmmm." Jeremy said. "No, huh?" "We must have something to work with." Jeremy said. "An arm or a leg at least." Helga added. "Cathay told us that Mindy's condition is a result of my fairy potion mixing with the were-mouse potion Calliope was subjected too. If she is right Mindy is now a moon fairy and might change back when the sun rises. But mixed spells are very difficult to fathom." "What about you?" Elvira turned to Cathay. "Any idea how to reverse it?" "No, for my mistress commanded only to make her powerless, not to restore her power." "But you know how it all works." Mindy said. "Forgive me Mistress Mindy but I do not. I was commanded to learn why you had changed, and to find a way to remove any trace of your fairy magic, but beyond that I was given no commands." "Ok." Elvira said, standing up. "Let's deal with everything in order. I'll got get the tape. Jeremy you and Helga see what you can do about curing Mindy WITHOUT taking samples." "Won't be as fun." Helga mumbled. "El what if I don't grow?" Mindy asked, her voice nearly a wail. "We'll order another human suit from Toy's R Us." Elvira said, starting to go. "Wait." Jeremy called. "That reminds me that Calliope is still missing." "Oh yea." Elvira locked both hands over her head for a moment and then stretched. "Where was the last place she was?" "The high school." Jeremy said. "She was going to leave her suit and collect a few things from the subway." "Great." Elvira said. The "subway" was a network of tunnels built by an alien race that the were-mouse had gotten friendly with. They had long since left, leaving the tunnels. "Ok, I'll find Calliope and then we'll go and pick up the tape. If I can't find her I'll nibble some chocolate and shrink." She took a deep breath and let it out slowly. "Any other crisis I've missed?" When there was no response she bent down to the table. "Stay cool Mindy, it's Friday night, we got time to sort this all out." "I hope so." Mindy said. Everyone was silent for a few minutes after Elvira left. Mindy stood up, wrapping her face cloth around her body. Hesitantly she walked over to the twins. "Sorry I shouted at you two." "Quite all right." Jeremy said. Reaching over he picked the fairy up in his hand, clasping her ankles firmly. "Getting samples may not be the way to attack the problem anyway." "True." Helga said, reaching over she pulled the washcloth away from Mindy's body. Mindy started to resist, then realized how futile it was. She lay as still as possible as Helga's finger softly poked her chest. "Aside from your emotional instability and increased sexual desire are their any other symptoms?" "No." Mindy said, looking down at her feet. Desperately she tried to pull herself together. "And look I don't want to talk about sex with 12 year olds." "We are not twelve." Helga said. "We're 87." Jeremy said. "Our family ages very slowly." "You need a babysitter at 87?" Mindy asked. "Mother's rule." Jeremy said. "It is known that two small children live here after all." "We must keep up appearances." "They are so important to this family." A new voice agreed. Mindy looked up to see a woman lowering herself to the table. She stood taller than Mindy, with delicate, aristocratic features framed by bright red hair. She held one of her four arms above her head, and from it a thin strand of webbing flowed. Bright green eyes sparkled at the room. "Good evening Aunt Petunia." Jeremy said. "Good evening Aunt Petunia." Helga repeated. "Hi." Mindy said in a very small voice. Aunt Petunia landed on the table and walked over to them, pausing to look at Cathay. "That's Cathay." Jeremy said. "Mistress." Cathay said, bowing slightly with a frightened look in her eyes. Aunt Petunia nodded regally and moved on. She wore a long dress of glistening silk, one that did nothing to hide a figure that rivaled Mindy's. In fact with her four arms and four breast Aunt Petunia was more sensual than Mindy ever hoped to be. "My scouts were not wrong then." she said gazing at Mindy as if the fairy were already bound in a web. "And I heard the term: "moon fairy" used did I not?" "Calliope bit her when she was still a fairy." Helga said. "Her curse and my potion seem to have mixed." "Delightful." Aunt Petunia said. "But you hardly seem happy my dear. Understandable with that spell robbing you of your powers." "You know the spell?" Mindy asked. Aunt Petunia nodded. "Do you know how to counter it?" "I do." The spider queen held out her hand. "Would you like to come with me? I can perform the counter in my chamber." "Aunt Petunia." Jeremy said, pulling Mindy back from the table. "Elvira has made some rather graphic threats concerning her friends health..." "She will not be harmed nephew." Aunt Petunia said, holding up her hand with the palm facing them. "Family honor, she will feel no pain." "Very well." Jeremy said, placing Mindy on the table. "Very well?" Mindy asked, scrambling away from Aunt Petunia, her wings quivering in fright. "What about me?" "Don't you wish to be cured?" Petunia asked, silently gliding toward her. Mindy reached the edge of the table and looked down. Flight briefly entered her mind. She glanced back at the spider queen and was suddenly captivated by Aunt Petunia's glowing eyes. "You will be fine." "I will be fine." Mindy repeated. All the tension and worry left her as she stood and walked over to Aunt Petunia. The spider queen picked her up and took hold of her web line. Arm over arm she began to carry them back into the ceiling. ********** Elvira Peterson and the Witch's kids Episode one: Curing the Spider People By Skytower Mindy McConnell was a fairy for one night only, or so she thought. But whilst she was a fairy she was bitten by Calliope McCoy, a wear mouse. It is now the middle of her first night as a Moon Fairy and Mindy is learning it is not always an easy life. Powerless due to the efforts of Lisa Douglas, Mindy has returned to Carion Mansion in hopes of a cure. Though she does not know it yet, someone else is hoping to find a cure as well. (c) Skytower There was a part of Mindy's mind that was screaming as she and Aunt Petunia ascended the web line. It was the memory of the last time she had gone into the crawl spaces of Carion Mansion. That time she had nearly been killed, sacrificed to Aunt Petunia. But for some reason Mindy ignored her memories. She trusted Aunt Petunia. Besides the Spider Queen claimed to have a cure for Mindy's fairy condition. Two of Aunt Petunia's arms pulled them up the webline, while two more grasped Mindy around the waist. Mindy felt her body sticking to Petunia's web dress and made sure her wings did not touch the fabric. Spider webbing was murder to get off of fairy wings. Petunia smiled at her, looking at Mindy with those bright green eyes of hers. Mindy felt her worries fade further into her mind. They reached the ceiling and passed into it, into the crawl space between it and the floor of the second story of Carion Mansion. Before them, lit by small candles stretched a plain of plaster roofed by massive wooded jigs. In the dim light the plaster looked like frozen milk and the beams looked like fallen trees. Four spider men waited, their heads bowed. Mindy hadn't seen the spider people for months, but they hadn't changed much. They each had sloping foreheads, harsh brutal faces, human torsos somehow linked to the body of spiders. They had captured her and chased her over half the town when she escaped. Occasionally they still gave her nightmares. Aunt Petunia walked over to them, and the contrast between the queen and her people was striking. Petunia stood tall and strong. Her red hair was cropped short, framing a surprisingly delicate face. She was as full figured as Mindy, but taller, and had four breasts to match her four arms. "Send word ahead to prepare my chamber." she said, her voice light but of absolute command. "Remove all disturbing sights from our path and command the slave to absent herself. "At once great goddess." one of the spider men said. The group rose and quickly scuttled out of sight. They left a single candle for their queen. "Come Mindy." Aunt Petunia took her hand and led Mindy across the plain. Mindy hesitated, fear starting to bubble though her calm facade. "Come with me." Petunia said, her eyes glowing. "No!" Mindy shouted, her mind finally breaking free. She tore from the spider queen's grasp and took flight. But most of the light had gone with the spider men, and her other senses were too confused by the aftereffects of the hypnotic spell. She could not find a way back through the ceiling. She suspected the spider men had closed it. "Mindy." Aunt Petunia called, her voice light. Light, but with the same tone of command she had used with the spider men. "I gave my word not to hurt you, don't you trust me?" "No way..." Mindy started to call out then grunted as she flew into a support beam. She hugged it for a moment, then fell onto the plaster. It was like falling on gravel, sharp edges bit into her skin. Mindy looked back, but the candle had not moved. "You said you weren't going to hurt me." Mindy said, standing. "But there's a lot of things you can do that won't hurt." "I know." Mindy started at the silky voice and instinctively tried to take flight again. Petunia had left the candle and was standing right next to her. Even as Mindy started to fly she felt a net ensnare her wings. She whirled around, striking out blindly, only to have her blow hit nothing but air. Her legs were swept out from underneath her and Mindy landed on her back. Aunt Petunia grabbed her legs and rolled her captive onto her stomach. Mindy twisted and pulled as her legs were wrapped up. Aunt Petunia's gentle laughter infuriated her. She dug into the plaster and used the leverage to throw the woman off. Once free she tried to stand, but her legs were tightly bound. A shadow moved to her left and then behind her. She felt Aunt Petunia's hand on her antenna. Mindy squealed and reached up for them, only to have her wrist seized and secured together. She tried to pull them down and felt her wings painfully wrenched. "Not to hard dear, you might pull them out." Aunt Petunia whispered. In horror Mindy realized that her wings were bound to her wrist. Mindy started to respond only to have her mouth covered with webbing. Then it was over. Mindy lay on her side, trying to twist her legs free and trying not to move her arms. She writhed helplessly as the candle moved toward them. "That was fun." Aunt Petunia said, putting the candle down beside her. "But I can't have you struggling while I'm carrying a candle." She reached over and pressed a finger into Mindy's forehead. "That would be a fire hazard." Aunt Petunia said as Mindy was drawn into darkness. Mindy awoke in the most uncomfortable position she had ever been in. She was on her knees, legs spread apart. Her arms had been pulled behind and above her, while her wings were held straight above her body. Both were securely fasted to wooden planks by webbing. Her chin rested on padded plank board. Something had been wrapped around her forehead, pulling her head back. Mindy probed with her antenna, instinctively using her fairy senses. She was in a small chamber, one lit by candles. The chamber was dry, warm and smelled faintly of cinnamon. One other person was in the chamber. Webbing bound Mindy's body to the wood, but it was only after she opened her eyes that Mindy realized what sort of wood it was. "Popsicle sticks?" she asked, seeing Aunt Petunia laying on a chaise lounge in front of her. "Did you never make a Popsicle stick fort Mindy?" Petunia asked, sitting up. The wood is clean, smooth and well shaped. I deplore splinters, don't you?" "Well it's not going to hold me." Mindy snarled, pulling with all her might. She felt the wood strain, give, then hold. After a few minutes Mindy gave up and hung there. Defeated. "Then again." "Come now Mindy, didn't I say that I'd cure you?" the Spider Queen walked over to her. "And aren't you feeling better?" Mindy suddenly realized she was feeling better. Her emotions weren't racing out of control, she could use the fairy senses. But the knowledge of spells, powers and the other secrets were still closed to her. She could see them in her mind, but couldn't really see them. It was a little like looking at the cover of a book, but not being able to open it. "How come I don't have any powers?" "Well I'm afraid you can blame Calliope for that." Petunia said, starting to circle her captive. "She bit you when your powers were still forming." Petunia walked around her and Mindy shivered slightly. "But you still have enough to aid my people." "What do you mean?" Mindy asked. "Hey!" she shouted as she felt Aunt Petunia run a finger down her spine. "For the past few weeks Mindy there has been a sickness running through the spider people. I suspect it is artificial in origin." Mindy stiffened, but kept silent as the Spider Queen started to massage her bottom. "There is a group of alien ants that have been warring with my spiders for years now." "Alien Ants?" Mindy asked, her voice breaking slightly. Aunt Petunia was slowly starting to massage her ass, coming closer to the crack. "Yes. Annoyances up to now, my warriors were more than a match for them. But with this sickness my warriors are weak. Too weak to fight, too weak to hunt. The ants have started to make territorial gains." "Stop that!" Mindy shouted, squirming as Aunt Petunia reached her hand between Mindy's legs and slowly began to rub her pussy. She pulled again, but again the wood and webbing defied her. "No." Petunia said. For a few moments there was silence as Petunia continued to massage her. Mindy could do nothing but strain against her bonds and try to keep her body under control. Her body overcame her and she could feel her stomach tighten and her breasts grow hard. Moisture began to collect between her legs. Her antenna stiffened. "I myself am immune to this sickness." Aunt Petunia said, abruptly stopping her erotic massage. She walked back to stand in front of Mindy. "But how to transfer that immunity from my blood to that of my people? My blood will not mix with theirs, nor have I been able to use my blood to make a serum." She smiled. "But then you came back. As a fairy." "I don't understand." "You will." Petunia said. Reaching down she cupped one of Mindy's breast in her hand. Slowly she began to massage it, squeezing the base and pulling until she reached the nipple. Mindy felt the breast harden in her wake. Aunt Petunia let go and Mindy felt an electric shock between the spider queen's fingers and her own nipple. "Do you want to know how I solved the puzzle?" "Ok." Mindy growled, once more her fairy sex drive was pushing her body to respond, despite her struggles. "One of my warriors, I believe you know him, Nails, he was the one who first captured you. He was dying, and as per the costume of the Spider People he was allowed to spend his last night with me." "You have sex with these things!" Mindy screamed. Aunt Petunia burst out laughing and Mindy felt her face burning. "My dear you are entirely to provincial to be a fairy." "There not human." Mindy protested. "Neither am I. Nor for that matter are you, at least not until sun rise." Aunt Petunia pointed out, laughing softly at her captive. "Well after a night with me Nails not only survived, he was back to full health. At first I could not discern why. So I tried making love to other sick spider people. Each recovered. At last I realized what it was. Milk." "Milk?" Mindy asked, her heart stopping. "Yes." Aunt Petunia stood back and gestured to her breast. "My breast need little stimulation to provide milk, and it seems that drinking it is a cure." Mindy let her breath out in a long silent whistle. "But how to cure all of them?" Aunt Petunia asked. "I enjoy sex Mindy, more than you could know being so young, but there are over 200 men, women and children here. I can't spend the night with each of them." "I don't have any milk." Mindy said quickly, feeling sweat begin to cover her body. "Helga said she took away the glands to make room for my wing muscles." "I know. But she left just enough for what I plan to do." "Wh...wha... what... what is... what.." try as she might Mindy could not ask the question. "It's very simple." Aunt Petunia said, a small smile on her face. "You shall drink my milk." she cupped her breast, then ran finger to Mindy's mouth. "It shall pass through you, "her finger flowed down from Mindy's mouth, down her neck, lingering for a moment in the hollow of her throat, "and be imbued with fairy magic." her finger continued down the captive fairies chest, running along the breast to the nipple. "Then my people will drink the enhanced milk. Only one or two swallows will suffice." Mindy swallowed hard. "How many..." Mindy swallowed hard. "how many spider people are there exactly?" "Well it will be a long night." Aunt Petunia said. "But you will be saving an entire race Mindy. Isn't that worth more than your own sexual morals?" Mindy was silent, trying to take it all in. Without her they would die, or at least some of them would. But the thought of over two hundred spider people sucking her breast... She shivered in fear and revulsion. What would Janeway do, Mindy silently asked the universe. What would any of her heroes do? Mindy searched her memory, running through every science fiction book she had ever read, but none of the hero's in those books were being asked quite what she was being asked. Still, if it meant an entire race... "I don't have a choice in this do I?" Mindy asked, suddenly hoping the decision wasn't hers. "In a way you do." Aunt Petunia said. "There is no way you can stop my people from suckling, but it would be difficult to force you to drink from me." "Oh." Great, Mindy thought. Elvira gets villains to fight, I get were-mice and spiders that want to do it with me. It's not fair. "Ok." Mindy said, her body sagging with the decision. "It won't be as bad as that dear." Aunt Petunia said, trying to hide her amusement. "Because a part of this I did not mention was that you will have to be stimulated properly." she clapped her hands and someone walked into the chamber. Casey Chapel hadn't changed much since Mindy had last seen her. Tall and slim, with curly red hair, thin lips and hazel eyes. She wore nothing and Mindy was grateful that hair had grown over the woman's vagina tattoo. Her eyes were dull as she bowed before Aunt Petunia. "As you command great goddess." "I love to hear her say that." Aunt Petunia said with a slight musical laugh. "You know what to do." "Yes." Casey said. She walked behind Mindy and the captive fairy yelped as Casey's fingers began to probe her vagina. "Hey!" Mindy shouted, squirming futilely against her bonds. "We should have music as well." Aunt Petunia said. "Play the tape!" she shouted. There was a pause and then what Mindy recognized as Mozart filled the chamber. "Get her off of me!" Mindy growled, her growl turning to a high pitch as she felt Casey's tongued replace her fingers. "Come now dear." Aunt Petunia said, moving toward her. "You need to be stimulated and I have to be in the front." She started to caress Mindy's antenna and they stiffened at her touch. Mindy felt a wave of desire flood over her, her body suddenly felt as hot as the sun. She breathed deeply trying to cool it. Moisture was dripping between her legs, what little was getting past Casey's highly skillful tongue. The woman seemed to have a road map of Mindy's nether region and found her clitoris with ease. She teased it, sucked it, wrapped her tongue around it. Mindy could have sworn the slave was whispering to it. The result was surge after surge of erotic energy cascading through her body. Aunt Petunia took one of Mindy's antennas into her mouth and gently ran her tongue over it, producing more energy. Mindy felt like she was shooting the rapids of some massive river. She couldn't get enough air into her lungs, her mouth was hot and dry. When Aunt Petunia's breast brushed against her mouth the captive fairy needed no prompting. Her mouth opened and she drew the nipple inside, sucking for all she was worth. The liquid that filled her mouth was milk with the added taste of strawberries and ginger mixed with rum. It hit her system and made the sexual cravings she had been feeling seem mild by comparison. Two spider men had entered the room. Mindy sensed them, but ignored them. Each had the same sloping forehead, Cro-Magnon face, powerful torsos and spider bodies. They moved silently to kneel beneath her. Then each took one of her breast into their mouths. Mindy bucked, nearly tearing the wood and webbing apart. But the restraints held her powerless, vulnerable. Each spider man pressed his mouth over her aureole and ran their tongues along her nipples. An electric charge seemed to erupt from her breast. Stars filled her eyes as she felt the spider men suck. Insanely she wondered what her milk tasted like to them. It came out of her, but she didn't feel any loss. Rather she felt more alive the more they sucked and was actually sorry when they withdrew. Her nipples felt warm, comfortably warm. But they had no time too cool as within moments two more mouths fastened themselves to her breast. In her mind Mindy imagined a bizarre parade of spider people, dancing to the music as they nursed at her bosom. The stars became galaxies as Aunt Petunia and Casey allowed her no rest. Casey probed with tongue and fingers, leaving no part of Mindy's rear untouched. At some point the captive fairy realized she was moaning, but her own voice sounded strange. Aunt Petunia kept her antennas stiff and caressed each one with fingers, tongue and more. Using her body in a way Mindy could not have imagined the spider queen hung upside down. First one antenna, then the other was eased into Aunt Petunia's pussy, driving Mindy to greater and greater heights of passion. Bound as she was Mindy was helpless to aid in the process. She could only react, and in that there was some frustration. Mindy longed to break free of her bonds and dive into Petunia's body with her own. In her lust crazed mind the fairy imagined the spider queen writhing under Mindy's own fingers and tongue. But these fantasies lasted only for moments, for each one prompted her to move, and each time she tried to move it was brought home to her that she was a powerless captive. Time shattered for Mindy at some point. In her mind she had always been and would always be bound for some one else's pleasure. She welcomed the knowledge. {Will Mindy survive the night? Most likely. Will she remember it fondly? (would you?). And what has happened to Elvira and Calliope? These questions will be answered in the future.} ************** Elvira Peterson and the Witch's kids Episode twenty two: Of Ants and Robots By Skytower Elvira Peterson slowed her moped to a stop a block away from Karloff High School, resting it in the shadows of the Sunny Smiles Mortuary. The name of the high school had nothing to do with the actor Boris Karloff, though few people believed that and the looks of the place didn't help. The building was the gift of Yohan Karloff, who migrated to the town after World War 1 with a trunk of stolen gold. He used the gold to build himself a mini- empire, ruling the town with an iron fist. Unfortunately his iron fist had rusted during the anti-Japanese and anti-German drives of the forties. The high school had been his last stab at gaining a good public image before the lynch mob had busted into his office and hanged him. Legend had it that he haunted the high school. The building itself was a confusing jumble of gothic church architecture and art deco design. The main building had the gothic spires and bell tower of a mediaeval monastery. It extended back two blocks and ended on the shores of the Dead Diamond River. From the main building branched two longer buildings, one east and one west. These were two stories, slate roof brownstones, each with a widow's walk. On the father end of the east building was a concrete block gymnasium and swimming pool. Underneath it all was the remains of a pagan temple and the place where a crashed UFO had lain for years undisturbed. The UFO had been shaken by the building of the gym and it's inhabitants had fixed the ship and left, leaving behind an elaborate tunnel system, some odds and ends of technology, and one wear-mouse who had known them. And who, Elvira thought rather crossly, kept using the tunnels (or the "Subway" as they had named them) as a second home. In truth Elvira couldn't really blame Calliope, living with Jeremy and Helga Carrion couldn't have been easy. Still where else would a tiny mouse girl live? Her aunt was Aunt Petunia's slave and her parents were lost in pre-history. Elvira had no idea when the time machine would be fixed. Elvira opened the saddlebag compartment of her moped and pulled out a fanny pack. Experience had taught her to carry a few things at all times. The fanny pack held a bag of M&M's, a flashlight, a small hockey stick and a set of Malibu Stacy gym cloths. "Damn!" Elvira swore, looking at the cloths. "I'm gonna dunk you for this sis." In the bag there was a small white halter-top, blue skirt and a red cape. A stylized "S" was on the halter-top. Over the past few months it had become a game with Guenivere, to find and replace her sisters selection of practical doll cloths with something flashier. She refused to listen when Elvira insisted that it wasn't a good idea to be flashy when you were only 12 inches tall. To Guenivere anyone who had a special ability should dress accordingly. That meant Elvira had worn over the past few months a Wonder Woman, Green Lantern and a Xena costume, all to the great amusement of Guenivere, Mindy and who ever Elvira was babysitting at the time. "This time I'm gonna throw her in the river, I don't care what mom says." In the back of the gym stood the school dumpster. Elvira hoped on top of it, climbed up the drainpipe to the gym roof and scuttled across toward the air conditioning duct that was the "fairy" entrance to the school. The aliens had not only tunneled through the town they had also carved numerous passageways through many of its buildings. Elvira hoped Calliope was there, if not she'd have to shrink and go look for her. She was halfway to the duct when a sound caused her to freeze. In the dim light she saw a large object being moved slowly across the roof. Elvira flattened herself, grateful that she was wearing blue jeans and a dark shirt. Calliope's robot suit, the face hanging open, was being towed across the roof. Ten dozen or so extra large ants had roped its feet and were dragging it to the edge of the roof. Watching from the shadows Elvira could tell that these were the ants that Aunt Petunia had once spoken off. A little larger than mice there were definitely insects. They had large front mandibles and segmented bodies, but with human eyes in each head. Human-like arms grew from the middles of their bodies and reached over their heads. They wore no clothing, but their skins were deeper shades of red and brown. One of them carried a whip and used it mercilessly against the ants pulling the body. Where was Calliope, Elvira wondered? The moppet would never surrender the body, she liked piloting it too much. She got her answer in a moment when a figure emerged from behind the duct. Even in the dim light Elvira recognized Timothy Simmons. At 6 feet 10 inches Timothy was still filling out to the man he would become. Or at least, that's what he most likely told himself. Truthfully Timothy was 18 and Elvira doubted he'd ever develop past the stage he was at now, rail thing with a head slightly too large for his body. It didn't help that he had white hair and an adams apple that looked like a tennis ball. Combine his physical appearance with his love of poetry and Japanese animation and you had a stereotypical nerd. In any other school he might have been bullied, but Elvira didn't allow bullies at her school. That was in fact part of the reason she was set to graduate a year late, too many fights and too many suspensions. All of this flashed through Elvira's mind for a full second before she spotted the cage in Timothy's hand. Crumpled in a heap was Calliope. "You shouldn't have fought so hard." Timothy said, holding the cage up to his face. "All they wanted was the suit." Calliope sobbed and Elvira had to fight to stay still. Timothy she could take, but the last year and a half had taught her not to underestimate smaller creatures. There was no telling what the ant creatures had to fight with. Another thing was that Timothy was dressed in a form fitting flight suit with a bullet shaped helmet. Strapped to his side was a gun of some sort. So she watched as the ant creatures pulled Calliope's robot body onto a platform and secured it there. Then they crowded on themselves and it hovered in the air. Timothy touched a control on his belt, floated into the air and the whole party flew off into the distance. "Oh great." Elvira hissed. Scrambling across the roof she climbed down and sprinted down the street to her moped. She reached it just as Timothy and the rat creatures vanished behind the trees. Kicking the moped into gear Elvira followed them. An hour later Elvira slowed her bike to a stop and pulled in behind a copse of trees. A half-mile down the road was a set of concrete block buildings surrounded by an electric fence. It didn't really surprise her. The "secret military base" was the only thing in the direction Timothy and his friends had been heading. She watched as he carried Calliope into one building while the suit was taken into an aircraft hanger. A full moon hung over the place, making the buildings look pale, almost ghostly. Around her the nighttime sounds of the forest hid whatever sounds came from the base. "Great." Elvira whispered. The military base was the worse kept secret in town, everyone new about it. Nestled beside Heavenly Swamp the base had been built in the 50's and abandoned, then revived a few years back. No one actually knew what went on, but enough strange lights had been seen in the sky near it to give the impression it was an "Area 51" set up. Up until a few months ago the place had caused periodic power failures. That had stopped when they had blown the power during the Superbowl. After that the mayor had threatened to complain to the White House if they didn't fix what ever was causing it. No one in town had ever been in the base as far as Elvira knew. The troops supposedly stationed there stayed there. "Well, time to have a look." Elvira said, starting to put some branches on the moped to hide it. Cautiously Elvira crept toward the fence, keeping in the shadows as much as possible. She briefly considered going back to the mansion for help, but Mindy was in no shape for this sort of thing, and the twins were way too unpredictable. The woods ended ten feet from the fence and Elvira crouched behind a small blue pine tree. No way to climb it, not without a rubber suit anyway, no way to dig under it, the base was concrete for five feet in either direction. That left only one way in. Damn it, she thought, beginning to unbutton her blouse. Irritated she threw it to the ground and pulled of her bra, the cool night air raising goose bumps on her exposed skin. Her oversized nipples stiffened as a cold breeze caught and caressed them. Sitting down she pulled off her sneaker and socks, pushing the socks into the sneakers. Taking the fannypack off she laid it on the ground and then unbuckled her pants and pulled them down. Her underwear was the last to go and the nude young woman shivered in the cool air. Pine needles bit into her feet, and Elvira almost fell when she stepped onto a pinecone and it stuck to her instep. Grabbing the tree for balance she threw the cone away and then picked up her cloths. She took an M&M out of the pack and then stuffed the pack into her pants. Her sneakers and shirt went in next and Elvira was reaching for her bra and underwear when she saw them. "Oh hell." Elvira said. The first wolf was clearly the alpha male. He moved with a grace that few dogs could have matched and his white eyes matched the ethereal glow the moon cast over the night. Three other wolves followed him, one a little smaller, the other two very young. They were a young family out on a hunt, Elvira guessed. One of the many that had been re-introduced to the forest. Left to find food on their own. And here was a tasty young human, already unwrapped and ready for seasoning. Slowly she backed up, and just as slowly they followed her. It could have been a scene from the earliest time of man, when he faced nature alone and naked. When Elvira felt her feet on the concrete she backhanded her bundle of cloths over the fence. The two adults watched her with amused interest while the two pups were having a tug of war with her bra. Elvira kept backing up, making no sudden movements and keeping her eyes on the ground in front of the wolves. Now was no time to challenge them. When she got near enough to the fence to hear the humming of the electricity through the wires the young woman put the M&M into her mouth and bit down. As soon as Elvira tasted the chocolate her world changed. Her body was enveloped in a cold chill, then a hot rush. The world around her turned into a collection of light and dark shapes as her eyes struggled to focus. An orgasmic feeling cascaded through her body and when it faded she was lying on the concrete. Elvira looked up, but stayed completely still as the confused wolves walked toward the fence. Each of them was now the size of an 18 wheeled truck, and their yellow/white teeth reminded Elvira of highway supports. In all the times she had been shrunk Elvira hadn't yet encountered a dog or cat, but now she'd make a point to avoid them. The wolves sniffed around, being careful not to come too close to the fence. When they were distracted by the pups, who had finally managed to tear her bra apart and were now fighting over her underwear, Elvira jumped up and ran to the fence, jumping through the links. She landed in a rollover and looked back. Confused the wolves were mulling around, looking for her, but they weren't going near the fence. Elvira sighed as she stood up and looked for her cloths. Then flattened herself to the ground again as the sound of wings reached her ears. The owl missed her and Elvira froze as it swung around for another pass. Then her world changed once more and she found herself at full height, looking at an astonished and suddenly frightened owl. It hooted indignantly at her as it flew off. "That'll teach ya." Elvira said, laying back on the grass and trying to steady her breathing. In one way she could sympathize, the owl had been expecting a 12 inch tall meal, not a 5 foot 5 inch young woman with wide hips, small breast with large nipples and shoulder length brown hair. "I wonder what else'll try to eat me tonight." She groaned, rolling over and reaching for her cloths. From the other side of the fence the wolves watched silently. "Go away." She hissed, feeling a blush come to her face. It was ridiculous of course, but she was naked, and they were staring. Shrugging the feelings of embarrassment off Elvira picked up her cloths and quickly put her shirt on. Luckily she had become experienced enough to know that one M&M was worth about 2 to 5 minutes of shrinkage. It was the Hershey Kisses that kept her small for hours. 20 minutes later Elvira crouched behind a set of steps and looked cautiously around. As far as she could tell the place was deserted. She shifted uncomfortably, her jeans rubbing in places they normally didn't rub. Next time she'd remember to pack an extra pair of underwear in the fanny-pack. "Halt!" Elvira froze and looked around, not ten feet away from her Timothy hovered fifteen feet above the ground, his gun drawn and leveled at her. "Elvira?" He asked, suddenly recognizing her. "What are you doing here?" "Looking at you." Elvira replied. He was in the same suit she had seen him in earlier. It was a garish assemblage of colors, red boots, orange pants, green shirt, his left glove yellow, his right glove red, and a blue circle with a black star on it covering his chest. A silver belt, glowing white seemed to be keeping him in the air. That the whole outfit was made of skintight material was the last affront to fashion. "And trying not to laugh." "Turn around and put your hands against the wall." Timothy said, his face turning red. "No." He aimed at the wall and fired, causing a red beam to lance across the distance and a four-foot section of the wall to glow red and dissolve. For a moment Elvira just looked at it, then back at him. Then she turned and faced the wall. "Hands on the wall." He repeated. "Where'd you get the pop gun and the outfit?" Elvira asked, putting her hands slightly above her and on the wall. "I'm part of a project." He said, from his voice Elvira could tell he had landed. She stiffened as he began to pat down her leg. "What are you doing here?" Instead of answering Elvira planted both hands against the wall, gave a short jump and mule kicked him in the chest. Then she fell back on top of him, rolling off and grabbing his gun hand at the same time. A quick twist of his wrist caused Timothy to drop the gun and Elvira rolled up, pointing it at him. "There's a reason they tell people to spread their legs out before they search them." She said. "You haven't been paying attention to NYPD Blue have you? Now what's going on here? Where is Calliope and what are those ant things?" "You know about the aliens?" "Yea, I saw them hauling Calliope's robot suit." "No, not the Nobilians, the mouse aliens. Calliope's their queen." Elvira laughed, she couldn't help it. "Calliope's a were-mouse you idiot. She's not queen of anything. Now what about the ants?" "Nobilians." Timothy said, standing up and brushing at his costume. "They're here to help us." "Help us do what?" "Fight the aliens who threaten the planet." Timothy said, managing to sound a little pompous. "What aliens?" Elvira asked. "The Spideareans." Timothy said. "The spider men? Aliens? Well, maybe... but they're not a threat." "They are!" Timothy insisted. "And now that we've captured the mouse creatures queen we can finally defeat them." "We?" Almost as soon as she said the word Elvira regretted it. It was a straight line, and a deadly one at that. She dodged sideways a second to late and felt a stab of pain slam into her back. For a few seconds she felt a thousand red-hot pokers rammed into her head. Then she felt nothing. Elvira woke with her arms and neck aching. She was standing, with her arms pulled up above her head and fastened with heavy metal chains. Cold, icy metal chains. Her fingers felt numb from the metal pressing into her wrist. Opening her eyes Elvira looked around, straightening her legs at the same time. She was in a cell, one of four. There was a sink, toilet and bunk, as well as four more sets of manacles on the wall. The bars in the cell were spaced too close together to squeeze through even if she had been free. The cells were two to each side of the room, with a corridor between them. A table with her fannypack on it sat in the corridor. A small window was set into the door, but from her angle Elvira couldn't see anything through it. "Oh yea, I love spending my Friday nights like this." Elvira whispered, standing and lifting her arms to take some of the strain from them. "Glad to see your awake, traitor!" Timothy said walking into the room. Behind him a fat woman wearing a black dress and walking with a cane peered at her. She had a big, beefy face with small blue eyes and dark black hair. Around her neck was a gold necklace with a blue diamond. "Ok, start explaining Timothy." Elvira said. "Hah." The old woman spat, her dry voice crackling with contempt. "You make demands of us?" "You bet Broomhilda. What is going on?" "Her name is Mrs. Vincent." Timothy said. "And she's the reason the aliens you're helping haven't conquered the planet." "Really." "I am the director of the place." Mrs. Vincent said. "Charged by the President himself with protecting our planet." "From a bunch of spiders?" "And their allies." Mrs. Vincent said. "For nearly a year now Timothy and I along with the Nobilians have been fighting them, foiling their plots. Up until last week our victory seemed far away, we were winning but slowly. But now, thanks to Timothy's sharp eye we have the means to destroy them once and for all." "What is she talking about?" Elvira looked at him. "Is she talking about Calliope?" "I saw her." Timothy said, a slight flush on his face. "I saw her getting out of her robot suit, that's when I realized she was in league with them." "You saw her getting out of the suit?" Elvira asked. "The only place Calliope gets out of that suit is either home or the girls locker room in school." His face became redder as she talked. "So, either you've been using a telescope on Carrion Mansion, or they've re-opened the peephole in the girls shower." "I told him to do it." Mrs. Vincent said. "I guessed that one of the girls in the school was not as she appeared." "So how long did you have to look?" "It doesn't matter." Timothy said, looking away. "How long?" "Six months." Mrs. Vincent said as he looked away. "Well, there's devotion to duty." "His devotion was rewarded." Mrs. Vincent said. "I bet. You get any pictures?" "Because of him we were able to capture the mouse queen," Mrs. Vincent said, as Timothy looked away again, "and we have her suit. With the power core from her suit we have finished our ultimate weapon years ahead of time." "Ultimate weapon?" "A giant robot." Timothy said. "Tonight I'm going to pilot it and destroy the aliens once and for all." "What aliens?" Elvira demanded exasperated. "They ones you baby-sit." Mrs. Vincent said. "Carrion Mansion is to be destroyed." Elvira laughed. "You think we can't do it?" Timothy demanded, striding to her cell. "I think Superman would have trouble doing it." Elvira said. "This would have been true last night." Mrs. Vincent said. "But thanks to Timothy and our brave Nobilian friends it is not true anymore. With the power core from the human suit, and the access codes from the suits computer, we can disable the defenses and destroy Carrion Mansion." "And all the aliens inside." Timothy said. They could do it, Elvira realized. She knew that Carrion Mansion had some heavy-duty weapons around it. Jeremy and Helga had often taken great joy and pride in showing them to her, and were often disappointed when she didn't let them demonstrate the weapons on passing cars. Calliope's human suit had to have special passwords so she wouldn't be blown up as soon as she got in range. "Timothy think about this for a moment." Elvira said, giving him a hard look. "Do you really think she's on the level?" "Why wouldn't she be?" "Why! Timothy think, use that tiny peanut in your skull for a moment. The government builds a robot for use against supposed alien invaders. Who do they choose to pilot it? Astronauts? Some top gun hot shot? Anyone with combat experience? No, they go to a high school kid. Come on, you can't buy that?" "Despite his youth Timothy has impressed me many times." Mrs. Vincent said. "I have faith in him." "Great, my tax dollars at work." Elvira looked at Timothy and he straightened his shoulders and gave her a defiant glare. "So what happens to me?" Elvira asked. "You will be put on trial." Timothy said. "After the battle. With luck you'll just get prison." "Luck?" "It is better than you deserve." Mrs. Vincent said. "For now, you may hang there and wait until we have destroyed the aliens." Elvira looked around the cell for a moment. "Well if I'm just going to hang here can you give me something to eat? I've got some M&M's in my pack." Timothy looked at Mrs. Vincent and after a moment she nodded. Reaching into the pack he pulled out the M&M's and the Supergirl outfit. "Still playing with dolls Elvira? The guys in the locker wouldn't believe it." "Since when do the rest of them let you into the boys locker room Whitey?" Elvira snapped. Timothy turned pale for a moment, then red. "You want these?" He said, holding up a handful of the M&M's. He threw them at her. "Take em." Elvira snapped at the candies as they hit her face, but missed them. She saw the Supergirl outfit fall to the floor. Timothy gave a short laugh and stalked out. "Such a sensitive boy." Mrs. Vincent said, smiling. "And dumb too." Elvira said. "You going to tell me what's really going on?" "Later." Mrs. Vincent said. Smiling she started toward the door. "When it's all over." "Amazing." Elvira hissed, struggling to get her sneakers off. "A bad guy that doesn't boast." An hour later Elvira missed her 32cnd M&M as it bounced off her forehead and dropped into her blouse. There were now 20 or so of them, bunched up just above her belt. And no more on the floor, except a few out of her reach. Elvira growled and bent her head down to her chin. She bounced up and down a few times and after a few misses grabbed the neck of her blouse with her teeth. Elvira pulled and twisted, pulling in her stomach as far as she could. The fabric tasted like a gag in her mouth, and she couldn't stop the drooling, but it worked. The bottom of her blouse pulled out of her pants and M&M's fell to the floor, some catching in the cuff of her pants leg. Sighing she spat out the blouse and sagged for a moment. It had taken her nearly fifteen minutes to get her sneakers and socks off, and she'd spent nearly as much time learning how to grab M&M's with her toes. Her ankles were sore from trying to flip the candies up to her mouth. "Every kid in town can put a Hershey into my mouth from across the room." Elvira swore. "They can do it, I can do it." Taking a deep breath Elvira grabbed hold of the manacles and lifted her legs up. When she was in a sitting position Elvira gave a quick flick of her feet and launched the M&M into the air. It sailed toward her open mouth, and her tongue snaked out as far as she could stretch it, trying to form a runway for the candy. Her entire body quivered and tensed as she fought to keep it still. The M&M sailed through the air bounced off of her tongue into the back of her throat. Elvira swallowed with a feeling of triumph and waited her body sagging with relief. For a few minutes nothing happened, worrying the teenager. Then the familiar orgasmic feeling hit her and a few seconds later she was lying in the pile her cloths had formed. "Oh yea." She whispered a bit breathlessly. "The candy coating had to melt." Getting up she walked between the bars and out of the cell. A few minutes later the effect of the chocolate wore off and she grew once more. Elvira leaned against the wall and took a deep breath. Then she went over to the door and looked through the small window. A small lab lay beyond the door. Elvira could see tables with computers and chemical equipment set up. The computers were in screen saver modes, an anime scheme played endlessly on them. Giant robots fought each other endlessly. Another mark against them, Elvira thought, they don't use Macs. Satisfied that no one was around Elvira went back to the cell and reached out for her cloths. They were out of reach. She could reach a few of them M&M's, but not the cloths. "Damn!" Elvira swore, cursing herself for not dragging them through the bars when she had the chance. Getting up she crossed to the door, hoping the key was on the other side. But the knob refused to turn. The door was locked. Elvira growled her frustration growing and drew her arm back to smash the door, but stopped. "Think El, don't just act." She said aloud, echoing Mindy's oft given advice. She took another deep breath and looked at the door. Leaning down she saw a smaller door set into the corner, big enough for the ant creatures to come through. Taking the small hockey stick out of the fanny pack she pushed and the door swung easily. Going over to the cell she grabbed a handful of the M&M's and popped four of them into her mouth. Again the orgasmic feeling took her and when it left she lay on the floor, gazing for a few moments at the great chasm the room had become. "Hookers don't cum this often." Elvira muttered, struggling into the Supergirl suit. Elvira peered cautiously around the corner as she opened the door. The floor before her was solid black, with tiles that were as large as the rug in her living room. Tables as tall as buildings were spaced evenly, and above her, seemingly as high as the moon was the to the Earth, fluorescent lights lit the place blandly. She stepped out, sticking to the wall. Cautiously she walked around the room, keeping the hockey stick ready. As usual the Guenivere-sewed costume fit, and Elvira had no doubt her sister, if she was there, would pick her up and fly her around the room while making wind noises. Elvira was almost glad to be facing some demented megalomaniac instead. She became aware of a sound and froze every sense alert. It was music, sort of. Elvira turned until she found the source, then walked over to one of the tables. It was definitely music, but not a radio, and with no instruments. A ladder, obviously made for the ant creatures, straddled one of the table legs. "Wear off already." Elvira hissed, hoping the chocolate would wear off and let her grow. It had to have been eight minutes, she was sure of it. But nothing happened. "Oh hell." She said and started to climb. If she grew mid climb she'd simply jump off, but the outfit would be shredded. Elvira had learned to strip out of a costume in seconds if she felt a growth spurt coming. If nothing else it saved a lecture from her sister on how difficult they were to sew. About half way up Elvira recognized Calliope's voice, and realized it wasn't the only one. The song they were singing was a Beatles tune, "For the Benefit of Mr. Kite." Peering over the edge of the table Elvira saw what looked like a P.O.W. camp. Cages were arranged in the center of the table, some empty, some holding the rat-like creatures that the spider men used to fly around the city and some holding dead spider men. Elvira's stomach turned as she saw that some of the rats and some of the spider men had been dissected. In a cage near the center of the table Calliope, along with four spider men huddled around a small bottle cap. There were no guards in sight. Calliope was tapping out the beat to the song on the bottle cap. Suddenly two ant creatures with swords stalked up and down the center of the table. Sword against hockey stick, Elvira thought, looking at them closely. The ant creature's bodies were divided into four semi-ball like segments. Two legs came out of each of the segments, all ending in paw-like feet. Arms grew out of the second segment. They reached over the head for about a half-inch ahead of the face. The arms ended in three fingers and a thumb claws. The faces were almost human like, with human eyes, a human nose and mouth, but the mouth had neither tooth nor tongue, instead a small hand could be seen in it. "Wrong rhythm." Calliope corrected one of the spider men. She tapped out on the bottle cap. "Like that, ok John." Looking around the table Elvira saw a beaker filled with a white bubbling white liquid. It was just close enough to her, and Calliope was distracting the ant creatures. The beaker wasn't marked, but it stood on a Bunsen burner and the flame was on low. Hoping it was acid Elvira crept over to the beaker and pressed the but end of her hockey stick against it. She was just getting ready to tip it over when Calliope saw her. "Supergirl?" the wear-mouse shouted, alerting the ant creatures. With a grunt Elvira tipped the beaker over, causing the white liquid to flood the tabletop. It affected the ant creatures not at all. They charged swords ready and Elvira was stuck on the edge of the table. She dived behind the Bunsen burner, forcing them to split up. They came at her from each side and Elvira swung her stick, parrying one sword even as she ducked under the other. She kicked out, missing and falling on her back. Both swords swung down at her with eye blurring speed and she managed to catch both of them with her stick. For a few moments there was a contest of strength. Elvira lost as the sticks started to come closer. Desperately she dropped down and grabbed the burner with her legs. With a quick wrench she tipped it over. It worked, the burner tipped over onto one of the ant creatures, the flame going out instantly due to its safety cap. But it panicked and staggered back. With one of her foes occupied Elvira rolled out from under the others sword and swung her stick, catching the creatures arm near the joint on it's back. It backed away, the arm hanging uselessly and Elvira rolled into a summersault just as the second ant creature swung at her from behind. For a moment they stood there, taking each other's measure. Slowly Elvira backed up. For each step she took the ant creatures took a step. "Elvira is that you?" Calliope called. "Now's not a good time Calliope." Elvira answered. Again she was being forced to the end of the table, and the injured ant's arm was starting to twitch. "Get us out of here!" Calliope called again. "The spider men can handle them." "Great idea." Elvira said. "Just tell these two to step back so I can get to the cage." She'd reached another end of the table and once more they closed in. Elvira kept edging sideways, hoping for an opening, but none appeared. After a few minutes Elvira glanced over her shoulder. They'd driven her back to the corner of the table with the ladder. Without looking back at them Elvira took a step back and dropped. With her free arm she reached out and grabbed the rungs of the ladder, feeling the wrenching impact as her shoulder was nearly dislocated. She swung on, ignoring the pain and wrapping her legs around the rungs. A few seconds later the first ant creatures' head appeared over the edge. Elvira conked him on the head with her hockey stick and he collapsed, dropping his sword. She barely dodged it and started to climb again. The second ant creature appeared over the first, his dull eyes searching for her. Again Elvira swung her stick and the second ant creature fell senseless. Heaving for air and ignoring the pain in her shoulder Elvira climbed over them and leaned on her stick, taking in deep breaths. After a moment she grabbed the other ant creature's sword and swung it over the edge. Then she walked across the table to the cages. For the first time Elvira realized how cold the table top was. Walking across it was like walking on ice. "Calliope." Elvira whispered, coming to the cage. "Yea?" "A tip. When someone is trying to sneak past guards to rescue you DON'T SHOUT AT THEM!" "Arch demon!" One of the spider men shouted. "God killer!" Another called. "Young one eater!" The third one whispered. "Pretty." The fourth spider man said, causing the others to look at him like he had just lost his head. Then they scurried to the back of the cage and huddled together, trying to form themselves into a ball. "I thought you were Supergirl." Calliope said. "She's a blonde." Elvira pointed out, sighing. "You ok?" Close up Calliope didn't look as chipper as she sounded. Out of her human suit Calliope McCoy was a cross between a Disney character and an Anime character. Her shoulder length black hair barely covered large mouse-like ears. She had a long thin tail, slanted Asian eyes, cute little snout of a nose, but with no fur covering the rest of her body. The rest of her body was human, with small pert breast and a sharply defined V of black hair between her legs. Now her body was covered with scrapes and bruises. One of her legs was wrapped in webbing, but Elvira could see a large bloodstain. One of her eyes was swollen shut and her nose was bloody. "I'm hurt." Calliope said. "I tried to fight, but there were so many of them..." "It's ok. Let me get you out of her and back to the mansion." "You bet." Calliope nodded. "But can we take the guys too?" "The guys?" "This is Grongo." Calliope said, gesturing at the spider man who had called Elvira pretty. Close up Elvira was reminded of a puppy dog. He had the same Cro-Magnon facial features as the others, but his eyes were open and friendly. "Hi." He said. "Over there are John, Paul and George." Calliope said. "They were captured a few months ago when they were trying to catch me and Mindy and Jack and Jill. But they're sorry now. Besides..." "They're coming if they want to or not." Elvira said cutting her off. "You're in no shape to run and I don't know how to ride one of those rat things." She took hold of the cage. "Don't!" Calliope called, but it was a second to late. Elvira felt a shock go through her body and was thrown back into a coffee cup. Still hot coffee splashed over her, stinging her body. Yelling she rolled away from the searing liquid. "It's electrified." Calliope called. "Oh." Elvira stood up, her whole body tingling. "Sorry." "Not your fault." Elvira said, pulling her cape off she wiped her face with it. "Don't let her in." One of the spider men said, bravely coming up behind Calliope. One by one the others followed. "She will eat us." "Grind our bones." "She pretty." The fourth one said again, once more earning harsh stares. "John don't worry, she's a friend." "She beat the goddess." John said. "Tied her up in her own web." George added. "Tickled her." Paul added. "Went down on her." Grongo finished, smiling. "What?" Elvira snapped, looking at him. "Yea, they've been telling me all about it." Calliope said. "You left a lot out of the story you told me. You and Aunt Petunia?" "Editorial license." Elvira said. Using her hockey stick she levered the clasp on the cage door and opened it. "We'll talk about it later, right now Timothy and Mrs. Vincent are going to attack Carion Mansion with a giant robot." She glanced over to where the rats were caged. "I'll get you out of here, you warn Jeremy and Helga, meanwhile I slow down the robot." Calliope limped out of the cage, helped and followed by Grongo. John, Paul and George hung back and stared fearfully at Elvira for a moment, then crept past her and headed for the rats. "Are they really going to attack the mansion?" Calliope asked. "Maybe." Elvira said. "There's a lot going on here we don't know about. Suddenly a shot of pain lanced through her stomach. Elvira doubled over, coughing. Her arms and legs felt like they were on fire. "Elvira!" Calliope shouted, rushing over to her. "I'm starting to grow." Elvira gasped out. "But it's different this time. Get out of here, I'll be ok." "Are you... Whoa!" Calliope jumped back as Elvira shuddered and was suddenly twice her height. "Go!" Elvira croaked. The next few minutes were a sea of confusion and pain for the young woman. She had never felt pain while growing, but now Elvira felt as if her body was tearing itself apart. It might have lasted only a few minutes, in fact she was sure of it, but it was a few minutes of searing pain. When it was over Elvira lay naked on the desk, the cages and drawings scattered over the room. Calliope and the Spider men hovered above her. "Are you alright?" Calliope asked. "Why am I always being asked that." Elvira whispered, trying to catch her breath. Her brain reached out to the rest of her body, as if surprised it was still there. After a few moments Elvira felt fine, except for a lingering muscle spasm in her stomach. "I'll be fine, you get going." "We'll go as fast as we can." Calliope called as they flew out of an open window. "Great." Elvira said, watching them go and waiting for her breath to come back. "I was going to tell you to take you time, but..." A little while later Elvira carefully started to climb the wall of the air craft hanger. The hanger was a Quonset hut, a half tube sticking out of the ground made of a steal frame and fiberglass panels. She climbed slowly, digging her fingers into the edge of the panels and hoping her sneakers wouldn't slip. After Calliope had gone Elvira had passed out. She had woken to an aching, sweating body. Why she was feeling so wiped out Elvira had no idea, it could have been that the nanites were breaking down, or maybe she had simply shrunk too much in one night. Jeremy could explain it. If she could make sure he lived through the night. She had put the ant creature guards into one of the cages, then searched the desk. Finding the keys to the cell she had gotten her cloths back and then crept to the hanger. The night air was making her feel better, but Elvira didn't fool herself into thinking she was ok. She just kept telling herself it was something that could be fixed, and tried to ignore the fear that it wasn't. The further up Elvira climbed the easier it became as the curve of the hut evened out. Getting to the top she crawled over to a skylight and looked in. There was a robot all right. 25 feet in height, painted in the same garish colors as Timothy. Human shaped it had obviously been salvaged from the battle between it and the giant turtle. She could see weld seams where some of the original metal had been blown off. The turtle hadn't left much to begin with, and Calliope's alien friends had taken most of the internal components. What was left was almost a monster truck with a fresh paint job. She saw the ant creatures easing something into the robots open chest cavity. Most likely Calliope's human suit power core. Elvira had seen the battle, most of the town had really, gathering on rooftops to witness it, cheer, drink and eat. She'd won 50 dollars from Mindy betting on the turtle. The turtle had won and flown away, and during the night Calliope and her friends had worked, during the next day it was the military's turn. Or so everyone had thought. In truth most of the town slept through what ever happened next, someone had just seen a military truck go by and spread the word. The ant creatures moved about the machine like the insects they were, forming living tools when needed. Elvira opened the skylight and slipped in, balancing on the steel beams. The she spotted an industrial crane in the middle of the roof. It was directly over the robots open chest cavity. A few seconds of looking spotted the control cabin. As silently as possible she began to creep toward it. The beams were coated with dust and grime and old grease. Elvira moved carefully, afraid both of falling and of pushing some of the grit into the organized work bellow. Getting to the control cabin she climbed onto it and rested for a moment. That was when she heard Mrs. Vincent and Timothy. "Stupid dolt!" Mrs. Vincent shouted, the sound of a slap following her words. Elvira peered over to see him fly back from a blow. Mrs. Vincent wearing a black flight suit hit him again, knocking him to the ground. Almost at once a crowd of ant creatures surrounded him, tying him with cables. "Why?" Timothy asked, the tone of his voice demanding far more than a simple answer. "Because you idiot, I not going to simply destroy Carrion Mansion, I'm going to wipe this misbegotten town off the map!" "Mrs. Vincent..." Timothy pleaded, but she kicked him in the ribs. "My name is Benita Karloff!" "So?" Timothy asked, even more perplexed than before. "My husband was Boris Karloff." "The actor?" Not the actor you idiot, Elvira thought, slipping into the control cabin. She closed the door and locked it. "The Mayor your grandfather murdered!" Benita shouted, kicking him again. "He led the mob that lynched my husband! And now I shall have my revenge!" "But he's dead." Timothy protested. "He died of cancer before I was born." "He cheated me, and your father cheated me when he died, but you live. For now." She added. "Oh wonderful." Elvira hissed looking at the controls for the crane. The bridge of the Enterprise would have been easier to figure out. "Keep her talking Timothy." "You're going to attack the town because of something that happened in World War 2? That's crazy!" "I am crazy!" she screeched. "For 30 years I was kept locked up in an asylum, so that your families sin could not be exposed to the world. My mind was lost in that sea of bedlam." She became suddenly calm and bent down to him. "But in that place I met a man. He was a scientist, one of the Nazi's that had made it out after the war. He had a new name, but I knew him from the old country. I found love once more, and we turned hell into heaven." She gazed beyond Timothy for a moment, very quiet. "He was brilliant. He was far beyond the petty minds that feared and hunted him. He loved me, and my quest for vengeance became his. We came here, dug under this old base until we found it's hidden lab. With that lab we made the ant creatures, mindless slaves to our whims." "What happened to him?" "Dumb question." Elvira whispered, finally locating the "on" switch. She started to look for the crane release switch. "He died." Benita said. "Just last year. I was the only one at the funeral. I couldn't even put his true name on the gravestone. He died before he left me the final key to my vengeance. A virus that would kill everyone!" Her voice choked and Benita stopped for a few moments. Then went on. "I was lost, until last year. Until you came into my life. I was going to breed the ant creatures, turn them into an unstoppable army. But the spider creatures were too strong, they kept killing my ants as fast as I could breed them. You came up with the idea of killing them with sickness, you were the one who deciphered my late husbands notes. We've been slaughtering the spiders ever since." "When did he become good enough to figure out how to make viruses?" Elvira wondered. She had sat next to Timothy in chemistry class and together they had started a fire. Then again she suddenly realized it explained a few things about his behavior in the past year. Unexpected absences, strange injuries, it all added up. "Even then it would have taken years, but then that robot came, and lost that fight." "If we get out of this alive I'm going to kill him." Elvira whispered. She found the release lever and turned the key on the control panel. Lights came on, motor's whined into action. No one on the factory floor seemed to notice. "Now, thanks to you I can tear this town apart with my own hands." Benita said. She turned and looked at the robot. Elvira pulled the release lever and released the crane. The heavy metal hook crashed down into the open chest plate. Sparks flew and Benita howled like a wounded banshee. Elvira pulled the hook up and dropped it again. By the third time a swarm of ant creatures was prying the door to the control room open. Elvira let the crane release one more time, shut the thing down and glanced at the door. It was slowly being pried open and some angry mutterings could be heard behind it. Grabbing one of the control sticks Elvira unscrewed it and used it as a spear to break the window. It cracked on the third thrust and she pushed through it, then climbed out and on top of the control cabin. Glancing over Elvira's stomach sank a bit. A swarm of ant creatures surrounded the cabin, working as one they had pulled the door off of its hinges. Reaching up she climbed onto the support beam and began to work her way toward the skylight. The ant creatures were stymied for a moment, crawling around the cabin looking for her, but at a shout from Benita a few of them leapt to the beam and began to pursue her. "Back off!" Elvira shouted, kicking them off the beam. She was in a good defensive position since the beam was so narrow they could only attack one at a time. Elvira slowly backed up, kicking them when they came too close. She was only a few feet from the skylight when Benita opened fire. Red beams seared the air around her and Elvira made a desperate leap, reaching the edge of the skylight and pulling herself through. Once through she reached over and slammed it shut, but the action caused her to slip and begin to slide down the side of the hanger. Cursing Elvira grabbed onto the sides, but she was moving too fast and the fiberglass was too smooth. Her foot found a seem and she stuck in it, only to have her momentum keep her going. Instead of sliding down the side she started to roll, helpless to stop herself. The world became a series of images flashing by too quickly for her to focus on. The sky, the ground, the hanger, all a whirling maelstrom with her at the center. The last image that Elvira saw before pain and blackness claimed her was a pile of ant creatures gathering underneath her. Elvira woke to a very familiar feeling. She was tied up and her body ached. Opening her eyes she saw the robot, ant creatures swarming over it. She was tied securely with her arms crossed behind her back and her ankles tied tightly together. "Good, your awake." Benita said, kicking her in the ribs. Pain exploded in her side and Elvira couldn't prevent the gasp from escaping her body. "I was afraid you would sleep through your towns destruction." Elvira said nothing, feeling the ropes with her fingers, searching for the knots. "Speak up!" Benita commanded, readying another kick. "And say what?" Elvira asked, ready to roll away from her. "I was listening when you were bragging to Timothy, I got the whole story." "Good." Benita said, kicking her again. "So you and he can just lay there and watch as I destroy your town." "You didn't do enough damage to the robot." Timothy said. "Shut up." Elvira snarled, forcing herself to sit up. "At least I wasn't helping her for the past year." Timothy stayed quiet and out of the corner of her eye Elvira saw tears running down his face. Inside Elvira knew she'd apologize to him later, she'd been duped enough times by aliens after all, but at the moment all she could think of was her mother and sister being trampled. Desperately she tensed and un-tensed the muscles in her arms trying to loosen the ropes. Benita noticed her efforts and a sick smile came to her face. She drew her leg back for another kick but stopped when something slammed into her face. "What...!" she started to say stumbling back. She waved at her face, but by that time Mindy was hovering over Elvira. "Stay tight El, I brought help." Mindy said. With a roar that could have been a thousand angry crickets' spider men erupted into the hanger. They dropped from the skylight, flew in on winged rats or charged in through half open doors. The battle was quickly joined on all fronts and Benita looked truly scared for a moment. Then her face turned red with anger. With an in-articulate growl she leapt up and ran to the robot, crushing spider and ant men alike. "Roll over." Mindy ordered. "What kept you?" Elvira demanded, rolling over. "You think it's easy to assemble an army?" Mindy said. "The spider men have been sick most of the year." "Yea, I heard." Elvira said, glaring at Timothy who was staring at Mindy. "Now hold still, Jeremy gave me a sonic knife." "You've got a knife?" Elvira asked, freezing. "What you think I'm strong enough to untie you at this height? Of course I have a knife." Elvira felt a slight hum run up her arms and then they were free. She rolled over and Mindy flew to the ropes on her legs. She held a short metal rod in her hand that sprouted a blue beam from it. "It looks like a mini-light saber." Elvira said. "That's what I said." "Crom!" Timothy whispered, looking at the fairy. "Mindy?" "Stop her from getting into that robot!" Elvira shouted as Benita climbed into the giant robot's head. She closed the hatch just as a dozen spider men shot their arrows. A few seconds later the lights on the robots face flashed red and it sat up. "Scatter!" Elvira screamed. At command the ant creatures were suddenly left with no one to fight. The spider men, seeing the robot and hearing Elvira's command ran for every dark corner or cubbyhole in the hanger. But Benita didn't even pause. She sat up, then stood up, tearing away the fiberglass skin of the building. It gave with a skin crawling shriek and the robot ploughed through and stomped of into the night. "Damn!" Elvira swore, rushing to the whole. "Don't worry El." Mindy said, flying over to her. "Jeremy and Helga have the mansion defenses all ready for her." "That'd be great if she was going for the mansion." Elvira snapped. "But she's going to take out the town!" "Why? Who is she?" "Benita Karloff." Elvira said. "Cut Timothy loose will ya?" "The actor?" Mindy said, darting over to Timothy. "No, the mayor, the old one." Elvira said, looking around. With the robot gone the battle between the spider men and the ant creatures had started once more. "Remember, we heard about her in school?" "That's you Mindy?" Timothy stared at her, his mouth open. "Yea it's her." Elvira said. "Come on Timothy get that thing in your skull working, we gotta stop her." "I thought she was a ghost." Mindy said. "So did I." Timothy said. He wasn't crying anymore but his face had gone pale and he shook. "She's going to kill everyone, it's my fault..." "Not if I can help it." Elvira said, taking his hand. "Come on." "What can we do?" Timothy demanded. "El you can't be serious!" Mindy shouted. "I mean come on, your good but that things made of metal! Weren't you awake during Godzilla versus Mecha-Godzilla?" "We don't have a choice." Elvira said, dragging Timothy out to the field that bordered the hanger. "I can slow her down, you get to Jeremy and Helga and tell them to rig up a death ray or something." She started to unbutton her blouse. "What are you doing?" Timothy asked, staring at her. "Giving you a present for being such an idiot." Elvira said. "Look Timothy I don't have time to explain, but I have to reach an orgasm, a big one. How experienced are you at sex?" "Sex!?" Timothy took a step backward, but his eyes never left Elvira's now exposed chest. "It's very simply dear boy." Aunt Petunia said, appearing next to them on a flying rat. "Elvira has a very strange condition, when tickled she shrinks, when sexually stimulated she grows. She plans to grow very large and fight that robot you so doltishly helped create. So take off your cloths, we don't have much time." "Ah!" Timothy said, looking for a moment like he was going to faint. "I've never, I mean, not with..." "We're not gonna do it!" Elvira snapped, now completely naked and shivering slightly in the cool air. "Just get me hot." She stepped forward and Timothy took a step back. "But in school everyone says you and Mindy..." "Who says that?" Mindy exclaimed, flying to hover between them. "I bet it was Lisa Douglas wasn't it? I hey...!" The fairy squealed slightly as Elvira grabbed her legs and pulled her away from him. "The mansion Mindy!" Elvira ordered. "GO!" "This isn't over!" Mindy shouted as she flew off. "It's real simple Tim." Elvira said, putting her hands on his shoulders. She took a deep breath and drew him close. "We start with a kiss." For a few moments it was like kissing a relative, then Timothy's own instincts started to take over and he kissed back. Elvira kept her eyes closed and willed him to be the lover she needed. Trouble was there was no way Timothy could be the UnderTaker, her favorite wrestler, or Worf her favorite character on Star Trek. Elvira opened her eyes and saw the startled look in Timothy's when she tried to push her tongue into his mouth. For a moment she felt a brief wave of sympathy. "Timothy I know your not having a good night, but you have to trust me." "I'll try." He said, swallowing. "I'm not torturing you I'm kissing you, you idiot!" Elvira shouted, kissing him hard again. Timothy opened his mouth and their tongues met. Elvira felt a slight static shock as semi-familiar feelings began to flow through her body. She hadn't dared do this, or even think of doing this with anyone since Teddy Hinkle. They had been making out and Elvira had grown, knocking him into a tree. After that Elvira realized that any sex she ever had would have to be done when she was shrunk. Even hot dreams were a danger and she had always slept with Jeremy's watch. It had made dating nearly impossible, and the young woman realized just how much her sudden coldness had contributed to her and Mindy's undeserved reputation. It was something she was going to have to work on. Timothy's tongue was starting to explore her teeth and Elvira pushed thoughts of her reputation out of her mind. Desperately Elvira thought of everything erotic she could drawing the fantasies from deep within her spirit. After a few moments Elvira pulled her mouth away from Timothy's and slowly guided him down toward her chest. "Go slowly dear boy." Aunt Petunia whispered in his ear. It was just loud enough for Elvira hear. "Savor her body, revel in it." If she starts to sing I'll crush her, Elvira thought, I swear I'll crush her. It was working though, Timothy paused on the way to her chest to kiss the hollow of her neck, while his hands reached behind and started to massage her ass. Elvira's body responded, she could feel her breast grow warm and her oversized nipples grow stiff. Her stomach tightened. Carefully she drew Timothy down until they were both on their knees. Then she took his head and guided him to her breast. Timothy took one of her nipples into his mouth, sucking on it like it was a lollypop. With his free hand he reached between Elvira's legs, starting to probe for an opening. "Don't just suck, lick, roll the tongue." Aunt Petunia whispered. "Nibble, but not to hard." In the back of her mind Elvira was turning bright red with embarrassment, but she ignored that part of her. Her mother and sister were in the path of that robot, and no one touched them and lived. She gasped, her eyes opening as Timothy found the entrance between her legs and his fingers slipped into it. Elvira saw everything in sharp clarity; her every sense came alive at the same moment. She felt the moonlight on her skin, felt it's subtle gravitational effect on her body. A cool breeze ran over her, the individual grasses beneath her body scrapped against her skin or poked her body. To her ears came the howling of the wolves she had met earlier, their faint footfalls as they hunted, their passion as they mated. She lay back, surrendering to the feelings that were bubbling with in her. As she did she guided Timothy down between her legs, replacing his tongue with her own fingers. "Ah..." Timothy's voice was a harsh whisper as he confronted her vagina. "Use your thumbs to pry the lips apart." Aunt Petunia whispered, "and drink of the ambrosia within." Elvira moaned as he followed instructions. She cupped her own breast, kneading them as she pinched her nipples between her fingers. She could feel the explosion building within her body, feel her head pound as a roar built in her ears. It was like standing on the cliffs above the sea, during the wildest storm nature ever brewed. "Now, what you need to find..." Aunt Petunia's last words were lost as Timothy's tongue found Elvira's clitoris. She her entire body stiffened, still as stone for a few moments, then her heart seemed to triple it's speed. Waves of power cascaded outward from her sex, making the young woman feel every cell of her body. Every nerve transmitted ten times the information that it ever had and Elvira screamed as she tried to take it all in. Then it was over and Elvira took deep breaths, calming herself down. She sat up and looked at Timothy who had been thrown backward by her growth. "At least..." Elvira gasped. "At least... at least you didn't get stuck inside." She said, standing up. "Get him to the mansion Aunt Petunia, maybe he can help Jeremy and Helga." Naked and gigantic Elvira started stumbling after the robot. Then she stopped and looked back. "Timothy, what sort of weapons does that thing have?" "None!" Timothy shouted looking up at her with awe. "We were never able to fix them!" "Good." Elvira had never stayed gigantic for very long, 15 minutes was her last record and she'd forgotten how hard it could be. At normal height she could step over or around things unconsciously, barely noticing them. But now at 25 or 30 feet the world was more cumbersome. She had to step over the fence carefully, watch out for cars as she walked. Her view was now super-panoramic, and it was hard to adjust. Up ahead she focused on Benita, heading northeast toward the town. It looked like she was going to climb Sunshine Hill and charge in. If Elvira read the woman right Benita was so hot for vengeance she'd stand at the top and gaze for a while, letting the sun come up. Well this is gonna be over by sunup lady, Elvira thought, that I promise you. Elvira was well aware that she was nude, and she had already streaked through the town once in her life. Shaking the thoughts from her mind Elvira headed east into Heavenly Swamp. Benita Dragonmiloff Karloff looked at the mansion. It had been the scene of great parties once, in the 20's. Back when her husband had ruled the town and it's people with an iron hand hidden in a velvet glove. Elizabeth Douglas had been her constant companion then, until those foolish newsmen had started spreading lies about her homeland. In two years her place in society evaporated, her parties became dustbowls, her invitations to other parties became "lost", "misplaced" and "We didn't think you would want to come, what with all the papers are saying." It was this last that truly burned in her mind and soul. As if she were responsible for what was happening on the other side of the Atlantic. But the true hell came to her and Boris after Pearl Harbor. She remembered that day, the masked mob breaking into his office, hanging her husband from the crystal chandelier, rampaging through his personal files, (and co-incidentally destroying all the financial records that would have sent most of them to prison). Even as that was happening another masked mob had broken into her house, catching Benita in her weekly "massage" session with dear sweet Michael. No police had come to her servant's frantic calls, and the pictures, those horrible pictures... In a week it was over, she went from wealthy society dame to asylum inmate. Should she ever breathe a word those pictures would be published. Her with a colored man... Even after all this time Benita shuddered. But even though she could not see faces she could hear voices. And there was no voice better known to her than Elizabeth Douglas. Her "friend". Elizabeth was long dead of course, Benita had dug up the grave her self to dump the body into Heavenly Swamp. But that had been a pale vengeance. Benita raised the robots arm and smashed it into the front of the house. The balcony, bedroom and hallway smashed into splinters and Benita howled with glee. Carefully she parted the rubble, looking for bodies. But there were none. A quick scan with the robot's sensors showed no life signs. Benita's howl of glee turned into a roar of frustration. So loud that she didn't pay attention when the early warning alert sounded. Ok, just like they do it on TV, Elvira thought, grabbing the robots legs. With a heave that Elvira felt with every muscle in her body she lifted the metal creature up and over the Douglas mansion. Elvira watched as it rolled down the hill and into the swamp. For a few moments it lay there, then it's eyes glowed red. "Bring it on lady!" Elvira said, with far more confidence than she felt. The eyes glowed more brightly and Elvira ducked, warned by many years of watching giant robot cartoons. The laser beams sliced through the Douglas mansion with ease, vaporizing wood and metal. "No weapons!" Elvira hissed. "He said no weapons!" The lasers stopped and she heard the robot coming up the hill. Elvira tensed, bringing her legs up into a crouch. There was no sense in running while that thing had lasers, she was far too big a target to miss a second time. So she waited. But even as she drew in a breath for the leap that would take her into battle Elvira felt her stomach cramp up, the strength go out of her legs. With an anguished cry she fell on her side, her body convulsing with pain. Benita came over the hill and looked at her, stepping around the remains of the mansion. Her first kick caught Elvira off guard, smashing into her side. Elvira's body spasm in agony as the second kick followed the first. Then the robot bent down and it's metal hand closed on hers, dragging up, twisting her arm as the eyes glowed once more. Pain or no Elvira wasn't ready to be fried. With a lurch she grabbed the robot around the middle and pushed it into the Douglas mansion. They wrestled Benita unable to get a clear shot with her eye lasers and Elvira beginning to recover as the cramps faded. In the process the mansion was leveled, but neither of the combatants cared. Elvira freed her wrist and reached into the debris, grabbing a pipe and smashing it into the eye of the robot. Sparks flew, connections crackled with fury as the second eye stopped glowing as well. With a howl of rage that sounded through the metal walls of the robots' skin Benita counter-attacked. She brought the robots legs up, hitting Elvira in the back of the neck and followed that up with punches into the young woman's stomach and breast. The blows took their toll and Elvira rolled off the robot, but it caught her ankle and twisted, sending her onto her stomach. Even as Elvira started to get up tons of metal landed on her back, slamming her into the ground. Again and again the robot lifted itself into the air and slammed into her back. When it finally stopped Elvira could barely move, her breath coming in ragged gasped. She was completely unprepared for what happened next. The first spank shocked more than hurt her. By the 50th hit on her ass she was mad, but each spank was followed by another hit to the back of her head, stunning her. Finally Benita stopped, stood up and kicked Elvira in the ribs until she rolled down the hill and into the swamp. Elvira lay in the muck, grateful at least for the cold water easing her abused but. Her head reeled and the trees she had landed on poked into her body. Without a word the robot raised it's arm, the hand pointing at her. "Great!" Elvira said, struggling to get her body working. "She's got missiles too." She watched as the fingers of the hand dropped away, revealing four holes. The nose of a missile appeared in each of the holes. There was a flash of light inside the holes, followed by smoke, and the missiles dropped out of the holes to land harmlessly on the ground. Elvira breathed a sigh of relieve and let herself fall back into the water. When she looked back the robot had turned away and was looking toward the town once more. "Mom, Guen!" Elvira hissed as she struggled out of the muck. She started to crawl up the hill, ignoring the pain. She was halfway up when the robot turned again. One eye glowed and Elvira flattened herself just as it fired. She looked up, seeing it adjust its aim. There was no place to hide, no place to roll too. Anger surged through her body, washing away the pain and she stumbled to her feet and lurched up the hill. At first she thought Benita was just waiting for her to get close, then Elvira realized the eye had stopped glowing. With a yell of pure delight she ploughed into the robot with her shoulder, feeling the pain as she made contact. The robot shook, tottered and then fell back, destroying what was left of the Douglas mansion. Elvira knelt down, struggling to get enough breath into her body just to stay conscious. The robot lay unmoving. It's face started to open. "Uh-uh." Elvira said, grabbing a section of wall. She slammed it into the face, just as her body started to go numb. It happened faster than she could even realize. One moment she was kneeling over the robot, the next blackness surrounded her. Puzzled Elvira stood up, looking around. Douglas Mansion was rubble, the robot lay motionless, but she was normal sized again. Aching, bleeding bruised and battered, but normal size. Slowly she became aware of her surroundings. The sun was coming up, and sirens were heading her way. A cool breeze reminded Elvira she was naked and she quickly stumbled down the hill, hoping Guenivere hadn't switched the emergency cloths she had in her moped. The end. But what of the ant creatures? Will they keep fighting the spider men? What of Timothy, who knows Elvira and Mindy's secret? And let's not forget that Elvira still has to retrieve that tape of Mindy in the shower and make sure Calliope's human suit isn't found. But all this waits for the next chapter. Tune in. ************* Elvira Peterson and the Witch's kids Episode twenty three: Getting There is Half the Fun By Skytower Go!" Elvira commanded taking Mindy by the legs and throwing her into the air. "This isn't over!" Mindy shouted as she gained altitude and distance. It was a stupid thing to say she knew. Elvira was about to fight a giant robot and they both had other things to think about than their school reputations. But given all that had happened to her in the past few hours Mindy was not as centered as she would have liked to be. In the first place she was a fairy once again. Mindy had first been turned into a fairy months before. That had been the result of drinking a magic potion and it had only lasted for a night. This time she was a fairy because the moon was full, and Mindy had no idea how long she was going to stay a fairy. Becoming re-aquatinted with her fairy body was like learning to walk again after having a broken leg. Mindy as a human stood at 5 feet 11 inches with wide shoulders, hips and large breasts. Her blonde hair reached past her shoulders framing a face of classic beauty with deep blue eyes. As a fairy her body was almost the same save that she was much smaller. Her fingers and toes were longer, with an extra segment on each. Antennae grew from her forehead. They started just above the center of her eyebrows, curved along them and then reached above her head. Matching her pink skin color they could move, after a fashion and ended in nipples. The antennae were highly perceptive and gave Mindy a wealth of new senses to cope with. It was like a person who had only ever heard radio being forced to cope with stereo television. It took an effort just to walk, flying was something else again. At least when she thought about it. As long as Mindy relaxed and let her built-in fairy instincts take over she was fine. They could cope with the wings and the antennae. Mindy had two sets of wings growing out of her back. The larger pair grew just between her shoulder blades and extended outward nearly twice as long as her arms. A shorter pair that reached to the end of her arms grew from the small of her back. It was the larger pair that kept her aloft. With her body at a sixty-degree angle they moved up, then straight down twisting into a angle and thrusting forward, then up again. The pattern of the wings was an almost perfect 90, 60, 120-degree triangle. The smaller wings gave Mindy the ability shift her body from a flat plane to almost any angle. Combined with the movement of her arms and legs Mindy was very maneuverable. The wings were shaped like a dragonfly's and sparkled whenever light hit them. They were beautiful. They weren't, however, made for long range flight. Mindy had flown from Carrion Mansion to the secret military base on the back of a flying rat. The rat had no problem with the distance, being basically a helium balloon with wings. Mindy hadn't thought about the distance when Elvira told her to get back to the mansion, ten minutes later she was regretting that. I won't let you down El, Mindy thought as her wings and breast began to ache. The muscles for Mindy's wings were located in her breast, another feature of her body that she wasn't used to. As a human Mindy's breast tended to bounce when she walked, as a fairy they were the firmest part of her body. Mindy strove for altitude, hoping to glide part of the way there. As much as she knew Elvira needed the help, the fairy knew she couldn't last at full speed. Bellow Mindy the streetlights cast a pale yellow glow on the streets while every so often a dog would bark or a person shout. This late at night the town was quiet. Something flew past Mindy and only her fairy senses warned her in time to dodge out of the way. She veered to one side and flipped over onto her back. A large bat was turning toward her. Mindy had a moment of panic and fumbled with the sonic lance Jeremy had given her. It bounced out of her hands and was lost in the night. Turning for another pass the bat shrieked at her. Mindy's heart stopped as the sound resonated through her body. The bat was nearly as large as she was and its fangs glinted in the night. It came at her again and Mindy waited until the last second to climb straight up. The bat shot past but curved upward itself following her. The next few minutes were an aerial dogfight worthy of Luke Skywalker and Darth Vader. Mindy was quicker and more agile than the bat, but the creature had staying power. All to quickly Mindy felt pain beginning to spread out from her wings. Down Mindy, she thought diving. You have legs, he doesn't. It would have been a good idea if the owl hadn't shown up. It was nearly on top of the fairy before Mindy spotted it and it's claws barely missed closing on her body. One of them did hit her wing and Mindy spiraled in a helter-skelter descent full of agonizing pain. Battling through the pain she tried to use her lower wings to put her into some sort of a long sloping glide. It worked but there was no way to change direction. The house loomed up before her like some stygian beast and its dark windows swallowed her up. She never learned what became of the bat or the owl. Strangely enough Mindy was able to perceive everything that happened to her as she crashed. It was recorded in her memory by how hard and what part of her body hit the obstacles in the room. Shoulder, screen, soft. Head, table, hard. Hip, something on table, hard. Left foot, something on table, soft. Stomach, something on table, hard. Sliding across table top, paper, soft, pencil hard, keys, hard. Head, something on table very, very hard. Blackness. "No darn it." Mindy swore pulling her self back to full consciousness. "El needs me. Janeway wouldn't black out, I'm not going to black out." Mindy sat up and tried to steady her head and ignore the pain stabbing at her from her wings. Partially successful she reached out with her senses. The room had no light but the thin flicker of a streetlight a block away, but to Mindy it was as bright as noon. She was in some sort of electronics lab. Not the one at Carrion Mansion, this place was far too primitive. Computer equipment that looked like it harkened back to the 1950's sat and hummed away. Mindy could feel the heat given off by the vacuum tubes. The walls were lined with tin foil. Mindy had landed on a desk. On it was a modern telephone, a small TV, a box of Raisinettes and some papers and pencils. "Well if I can't get there one way." Mindy said, getting to her feet. She staggered over to the phone and lifted the handset off of its cradle. The dial tone sounded strange, but pushing the buttons wasn't a problem. "Carrion Mansion, Theodore T. Bear speaking." A voice answered a few moments later. "Mr. Bear let me speak to Jeremy or Helga." "Theodore T. Bear, please madam. I'm afraid the children are busy at the moment. Can I take a message?" "This is Mindy, look you gotta put me through to them, that robot isn't going to attack the mansion, it's going to attack the town. Elvira's gonna grow to giant size to fight it but she'll need help!" "Robot, attack town..." Theodore said, repeating her slowly. "Elvira needs help... I will see that they get the message. Is there anything else?" "Yea, I think my wings busted and I don't know where I am." "You are at 15 Sour Simon lane, home of a Mr. Lawrence Castleworth." "How the hell do you know that?" "Please Miss McConnel, your language. All calls into and out of the mansion are traced and logged." "Oh." Mindy tried to calm down. The denizens of Carrion Mansion tended to view excitement with disdain, especially Theodore T. Bear, the spirit of an English butler who was stuck in the body of Helga's Teddy Bear. "Well can you send some one to get me?" "Everyone is busy at the moment, but I will relate your situation to Master Jeremy. I'm sure someone will be sent for you soon." "Soon? How soon is soon? I'm twelve inches tall and I got a busted wing! What if this place has a cat? I need better than soon!" "I'm afraid I can only give you and approximate time frame." Mr. Bear said in the infuriatingly calm tones of voice that only the English butler has managed to cultivate. "In the meantime I suggest you stay out of sight of the owners of the house. Good evening." There was a click and Mindy stared at the phone. Growling she was about to push the 'redial' button when the door opened and the light came on. A man stood there staring at her. Mindy suddenly realized she was naked and despite the fact that she'd been naked for hours the young woman reacted instinctively. She screamed and tried to use her hands to cover herself. It was a silly thing to do, as Mindy later admitted. She had been naked most of the night. But in all that time no one outside of Carrion Mansion had seen her with the exception of Timothy, and she'd been too busy to think about it. Now it was all she could think of. For a moment the man and Mindy just gaped at each other. Then he dove across the room and Mindy instinctively tried to take flight. Pain stabbed into her back as her wing protest and she managed to get only a foot or so off of the desk. It was enough to make the man miss her. He slammed into the desk and fell over as Mindy managed to land hard on the floor. Mindy started to run but a hand enveloped her legs and held them tightly. "Let go of me!" Mindy screeched pounding and biting at the man's hand. It was useless of course. She was a bird squirming in the mouth of a cat. But pure panic drove to new heights of desperation. Her wings fluttered crazily but the fairy had no where near enough strength even to lift his arm off of the floor. His fingers were greasy and she managed to nudge herself a bit out of his grip before he tightened it. "Judy!" the man shouted. "Get up here and bring the extra cage!" "In a minute." A feminine voice called back. "Now!" the man shouted. He brought Mindy closer to his face. For the first time Mindy recognized him, and her panic increased. The Troll had captured her! Mr. Lawrence Castleworth was a science teacher at Karloff High School. Elvira had given him the nickname and it fit. He was short, fat, with an out thrust jaw and sloping forehead. His hair was greasy blonde and he wore cloths that bordered on decrepit. The Troll's greatest joy in life was making a science class an exercise in curing insomnia. He was cruel, petty and openly called the students maggots. How he stayed employed was a mystery to almost everyone. "This better be good." Said a girl appearing in the doorway cage in hand. "They got the Angel tied to a stake and..." her voice trailed off as she saw what he had. "Give me that." He snapped taking the cage from her. Mindy fought like a butterfly caught in a net but the Troll shoved her into the cage and closed the door. She threw herself at the bars then pulled back in pain as she metal burned her hands. "Good, you left the shocker on." Mr. Castleworth said. "That'll teach you bug." He said, pointing his finger at Mindy. "You do what your told you won't fell pain." "What is it?" Judy asked peering at Mindy as he picked up the cage and put it on the desk. She was taller and thinner, much thinner than he was. Her hair had streaks of violet in it and she wore a ratty old T-shirt and pair of jeans full of wholes. Her nose, tongue, ears, lip and belly button were all pierced and sported various studs and jewels. "I don't know." "You don't know a fairy when you see one?" Mindy demanded. "There is no such thing as fairies." The Troll pronounced. "Than what am I?" Mindy said throwing her arms out, her anger drowning her embarrassment. "Most likely some experiment from that military base." Mr. Castleworth said. He picked up a pencil and stuck the pointed end in through the bars. For a few moments Mindy dodged it but he finally knocked her down and pinned her underneath it. The point lay between her breast and the rest of the pencil lay long her body holding it down. "I'll know more once I get a few samples." With Mindy helpless beneath the pencil he opened the cage door and eased his hand inside. Samples again, Mindy thought trying to control her panic. Everyone wants samples! Seldom in her life had the young woman been so infuriated. A pencil had brought her down! A Dixon Ticonderoga #2 Soft! The Trolls' hand brushed against her wing and she cried out from the pain. "Wings are sensitive." He said as if noting the sky was blue. He avoided them and used his index finger to prod Mindy's breast. "Stop that you perv!" Mindy shouted. "Breast are sensitive too." Mr. Castleworth said. He pulled his hand out and closed the door, then pulled the pencil out. Mindy sat up her face red with rage and embarrassment. "She's rage whatever she is." Judy said bending down to look through the cage. "Look at those boobies." "She's perfect." Mr. Castleworth said. "Once I get her on the table and get some blood I'll figure out what she is." Blood! Mindy's eyes went wide. "Where's my bag." The Troll cursed, looking around the room. "You left it in school remember?" Judy said. She hadn't taken her eyes off of Mindy and the fairy didn't like the gleam in them. "Damn!" he swore. "I'll use the kitchen then. You keep an eye on her while I set things up." "Ok." Judy said sitting down. He left and she folded her arms and rested her head on them. Mindy moved her wing feeling out the injury. It was like moving arm over a flame, every time she got past a certain point pain flooded her body. "What's he gonna do with me?" She asked Judy. "Same thing he did to them I guess." Judy said gesturing to the wall. Mindy looked at the wall and her stomach dropped out of the way to make room for her heart. The wall was filled with picture frames each containing butterflies. She could see the pins sticking out of their backs and it took no imagination for her to know what that would feel like. "Help me!" Mindy pleaded. "Sure." Judy said. "Maybe." Reaching over she picked up the phone and dialed. "Dulcy? Judy. We're game." She paused listening to the reply. "Yea, I know what I said, but I got something new. You still got that stuff for the B-doll? You know, the BB-doll stuff you made last month? Good, I'll be over in a while. Get ready to get shocked." Judy hung up the phone and leaned down so that her head was at the same level as Mindy. "You want out? You do what I say, when I say it. Me Mistress, you slave. Got it?" "Got it." Mindy replied suddenly wondering if she'd exchanged the firing squad for a hanging. The brass stud in Judy's tongue clicked softly as she talked and one of her front teeth was chipped. Her breath smelled of stale beer and wine. Judy went over to a cabinet and opened it, pulling out a large Mason jar. She unscrewed the top of it and set it on the table. Then she opened the cage and reached in. Mindy stood still, offering no resistance as the woman took hold of her legs. Judy pulled her out of the cage carefully. Then she dropped Mindy into the jar and then started to screw the lid on. "Hey! Air holes!" Mindy hissed. "Just hold you breathe, you got the lungs for it." Judy sneered. She screwed the top on and then carried Mindy out of the room and into the hallway. Opening a door she walked into a bedroom. The room was definitely Judy's. The wallpaper was peeling and dirty laundry was everywhere. Judy set the jar onto the floor and rolled it under the bed. The roll caught Mindy off guard and she bounced around inside the jar. This time when the fairy hit her head she did black out. The same jostling that knocked Mindy out woke her up. She was still in the jar, but the jar was moving and she was bouncing around as it moved. Her wing hit the side and the pain lanced through her sleeping mind bringing it to cold reality. It was dark, but her fairy senses made up for that. The jar was in a bag of some sort, being carried upward. Jagged tears in the metal of the lid told her that Judy had added air holes. She could hear Judy's labored breathing and erratic heartbeat. A door opened and Mindy heard another voice. This one was scratchy, as if the person had a cold. "Hey." Was all it said. The word was said in a monotone, without any inflection or emotion. It was as if that word encompassed the entirety of all words ever spoken. "I got something your not gonna believe." Judy said. Mindy braced herself as the pack was thrown onto something hard. The bag was opened and she was lifted out into a room filled with colored drawings. It took a moment for Mindy to recognize them as tattoos. There was an old leather couch patched with duct tape to one side. To another were a desk and two chairs. In the center of the room was a dentist chair with various instruments attached to it. "Whoa!" the woman with the scratchy voice said upon seeing the fairy. Mindy looked up at a black woman who had more studs and piercings than Judy did. Her hair was cut short to her skull and was streaked with blue red and green. She wore a black top that matched her skin and a pair of old blue jeans. "Where'd you get this?" "It flew into our house." Judy said. "Can you believe that Larry wanted to dissect it?" Her, Mindy thought. I'm a her not an it. Though she said nothing aloud. "Larry wants to dissect everyone." Dulcy said tapping the glass. "So what's her name?" "I don't know." Judy said. "I was too busy getting her out of the house to ask and she didn't wake up till now." "What's your name little B?" Dulcy asked as if she was talking to a little puppy. "My name would be unpronounceable in your tongue." Mindy said with as much dignity as she could. "You may call me Arionhorod." "Ari then." Dulcy said. "Ok Ari, where'd you come from?" Mindy had been thinking furiously since she had woken up. It wouldn't do any good for Judy or anyone else to know who she truly was. She doubted she could trust in their sense of charity to let her go or get her to Carrion Mansion. The best thing to do would be to give them a story they could believe and wait for her chance to escape. "I was being held captive in the military base on the outside of town, but I escaped." Mindy said. "Cool." Judy said. "Larry was right about that at least. "Yea, so that makes you government property on the run." Dulcy said. "No that makes her mine." Judy declared. She unscrewed the jar and reached in. Mindy stood still again as Judy grabbed her legs and lifted her out. "Remember Ari, me Mistress, you slave." "I remember." Mindy said. "What about Larry?" Dulcy asked. "I wrecked the room and told him she flew out. He's probably still chasing her." "Let me see her?" Dulcy asked taking Mindy from Judy's hand. Mindy submitted silently, the room had no windows and only one door and that was closed. For the moment she was trapped. The black woman's fingers were cooler than Judy's and dryer. Her skin felt like coarse paper. Dulcy brought Mindy close enough to her face for Mindy to see the pours of her skin. She turned Mindy this way and that way, examining every part of the fairies body. Mindy took it silently, but seethed all the same. "They grew you good." Dulcy said at last. "Look at those tits." She shook Mindy up and down. "Don't bounce for nothing though." Will I ever be at a height where my chest isn't what people look at first, Mindy wondered? "Her body do all the things ours does?" Dulcy asked poking Mindy's but. Passive, Mindy thought, be passive. "Hell I don't know." Judy looked at the jar. "Nothing in here and she's been in there since last night." "Last night?" Mindy blurted out. "Yea, that's why the air holes, I thought you'd bought it till I realized you were breathing." She'd been a fairy by day as well as by night, Mindy realized with something like horror. But Cathay had called her a moon fairy, when the sun came up she should have reverted to human form. What had gone wrong? "So what you got in mind for her." Dulcy asked. She placed Mindy on the dentist chair and took a firm hold of the fairies ankles. Mindy blushed scarlet, as her legs were forced open. "Good bush." She added. "She works out tonight I got a cage with her name on it." Judy said. "She gets it wrong I give her back to Larry." "You wanna try that same look we did last month with the doll?" Dulcy turned Mindy over and kept the fairies legs pulled apart. "Yep, should work better with her." "Oh yea." Dulcy said turning Mindy over again. The fairy was working hard to hold her tongue, but it wasn't easy. Mindy had never thought to meet anyone who would make her nostalgic for either Lisa Douglas or Aunt Petunia. But there was a fear behind her anger. Neither Judy nor Dulcy saw her as a person, they saw her as an; it. "Let's start with her hair." Judy said, picking up a pair of scissors. "What?" Mindy squirmed out of Dulcy's grasp and tried to fly, but only got a few feet off of the chair before her the pain in her wing forced her back down. "Gotcha." Dulcy said grabbing her again. "Let go of me!" "Hey slave, remember the deal." Judy said coming toward her. "You're not cutting my hair!" Mindy shouted grabbing her head. It was an absurd statement. They could do anything they wanted with her. "Why do you want my hair?" "You didn't tell her anything did you?" Dulcy asked. "Hell, she's been asleep all day." Judy said putting the scissors down. Reaching over she took Mindy from Dulcy. "Ari, you know what Dark Vamp is?" "No." Mindy said, though she knew what it was. "Well it's part performance art part role playing game. About once a month we get together and act out what we write. It has be based in the Dark Vamp universe, that's a series of books, and whoever has the best piece wins." "What do you win?" Mindy asked. "The winner gets put on the web sight our club runs. Past few months I've been loosing to The British Babe. She's got tits like yours only life size." Judy looked like she was ready to spit and Mindy shuddered at the jealousy in the woman's voice. "She can't write to save her soul but she just wears the tightest thing she can find and uses that damn accent. Sometimes she throws in French too. Last month I almost had her, but almost doesn't cut it. I'm gonna be first this time." She brought Mindy close to her face. "Or I'm gonna cut of your wings and hang'em on the wall. Clear." "Perfectly." Mindy said swallowing. "Good." An hour later Mindy wasn't sure what was worse, being captive of a deranged science teacher or having to read the script Judy had written. Worse she had to speak them in front on an audience. By now she wasn't too concerned about her nudity. It still bothered her but it paled next to her other problems. How can anyone write anything this bad, Mindy wondered. She shifted uncomfortable her ankles chaffing at the manacles. Mindy had been surprised when Dulcy produced them. Made of brass they were precisely the size needed to hobble her ankles together in case she tried to run. A thin chain ran from them to a bent nail that Judy had pounded into the desk. "How we doing?" Judy asked. "Almost there." Dulcy replied. Judy was lying on the dentist chair. Her arms had been pulled above her and tied down. Her top was off and Dulcy was painting a wall onto her chest and stomach. Judy topless was much as Mindy suspected. Rail thin with small almost boyish breast. The wall Dulcy had painted onto her was a typical dungeon wall. Large gray stones with black mortar between them. The wall started at her belly button and rose up to her neck. At the bottom was piled bones and skulls. From her nipples hung another pair of manacles. Mindy wasn't sure if her arms would reach across Judy's chest, but there was no way to avoid finding out. Worst of all neither woman had heard anything about a giant robot attacking the town, so Elvira might have succeeded, but at what cost? And her family had to have guessed she was missing by now, they'd be frantic. "Patience and endurance Mindy." She whispered turning back to the script in front of her. Neither Dulcy nor Judy was too bright, otherwise they would have spotted the wholes in her story right away. Sooner or later Mindy would have a chance to escape. "Done." Dulcy said untying her friend. "Perfect." Judy said, looking at herself in the mirror. She picked up the scissors and turned to Mindy.
