Artifacts, Chapter 8, The Moon Flower

Chapter 1

By William W. Kelso

Kelsey was pretty bored, her best friend Becky liked to stop and browse at flea markets and garage sales, but she preferred the Mall. But Becky was always on the search for 'deals', which usually meant she bought a whole trunk full of absolute junk and never did anything with it, except clutter up their bungalow. Their bungalow was already crowded with all sorts of strange stuff, it reminded her of an indoors garage sale. If they ever had a garage sale of their own they'd make a fortune, but Becky wouldn't even consider selling any of her 'treasures'. Kelsey used to tease her, saying she probably had a mummy stuck in a closet somewhere, and didn't even remember.

So now they were wandering through some old house at an estate sale looking at more 'junk', with Becky 'ooing and awing' over every little thing that caught her eye. Kelsey just tagged along, she really didn't mind as Becky was her best friend ever, and she liked to listen to her chattering nonstop about all the 'great deals'. She did like to look at the jewelry though, and stopped to take a quick look inside a case. It had mainly charms and small pendants, all in little plastic zip-loc bags, most of it costume junk. But one fairly large pendant did catch her eye. She liked antique jewelry, and the pendant or medallion looked like it was old multi-colored gold, the colors including rose, green, copper, and two tones of gold. It looked like a flower of some kind, so she asked one of the people holding the sale if she could see it. It was heavier then it looked, and she thought it might be real gold instead of just rolled or plated. She looked for a hallmark, but other than some weird symbols on the reverse she couldn't find any. She had a good eye for older pieces, and while it looked Victorian she was sure it was much older. She was a little surprised at the price, only $15.00, but since it had no hallmark the saleslady said they hadn't priced it like it was gold, just plated. Kelsey liked it, and the price was certainly fair, so she bought it. Of course now she had to listen to Becky teasing her about 'buying old junk too', but it was worth it. She felt better when she saw the hideous junk her roommate had bought though, that vase had to be the most butt ugly thing she'd ever seen. It was bright pink and had little cherubs all over it, P-U! She made retching sounds all the way to the car, much to Becky's chagrin. THAT one went in the closet as far as she was concerned, with the mummy. Whenever she looked at the thing it reminded her of Pepto-Bismol for some reason, and it would look even worse with flowers in it.

When they got back to their apartment she stuck the vase in a closet as soon as Becky turned her back, then took out her own purchase and took a closer look at it. It was really old; she could just tell, even though it didn't have much wear on it. If it was rolled or plated it must be really thick as it hadn't worn through anywhere. The chain was a cheap piece of crap, so she chucked it in the garbage, and got a real 10kt gold chain she'd picked up years ago and never had a use for, and it went perfectly with the pendant. The pendant looked something like a rose, but not exactly like any she'd ever seen, and as it settled between her breasts it felt warm, and maybe a little...oily? She rubbed her fingers on it, but nothing came away and it wasn't dirty or anything, it just felt kind of greasy. Probably because it was so smooth and slick, like most gold. She was pretty happy with it, the multi-colors were pretty, and best of all she could tell Becky was envious. Becky's only jewelry purchase had been a skull ring with red eyes that looked like it had come out of a gumball machine. It went in the jewelry box with other crap she'd never wear.

Kelsey wasn't much on wearing a lot of jewelry, but Becky was usually decked out like a $5.00 prostitute working a street corner, so it amused her that Becky was jealous of her own one really nice piece of jewelry. It was a harmless jealousy though, more of an admiring kind. Kelsey's only other piece of jewelry, a more or less permanent one, was a small gold ring pierced through one of her labial lips. She was horribly embarrassed by it, Becky had talked her into getting it while they were both plastered after a Xmas party, and she had woken up the next day with the thing. She was scared to remove it herself; too embarrassed to ask a doctor to do it, so just left it alone, and was now so used to it she could hardly even tell it was there. Becky on the other hand had more hardware on her then a chest of drawers. She had several labial rings, a clit ring, other pussy rings, nipple rings, belly button plug, and a stud in her nose. She actually jingled when she walked. Not to mention her roomies endless collection of ear rings, and she had worn a stud in her tongue for awhile, but got tired of people not being able to understand what the Hell she was saying when she talked and thinking she was retarded. Kelsey didn't understand how she could stand it, they HAD to hurt! And those nipple rings, ouch! And they'd probably never let her on a plane, she'd set off more alarms then a rocket launcher!

Despite rather different 'personality types' they had been best friends since High School, and were going to the same college, so it only stood to reason that they share an apartment, or as their landlady insisted on calling in 'a bungalow'. It saved money, and they had lots of fun. Becky was brazen and outgoing, Kelsey a little shy and reserved. So Becky helped her to get out more and have fun, and she restrained Becky from doing anything too stupid; most of the time, and it worked out pretty well. Becky had also introduced her to boys, for which Kelsey would always be grateful. She had been scared of sex; a strong religious upbringing had seen to that, but to her surprise found out she loved it, and seemed to have a natural 'talent' for it. When it came to sex she was every bit as 'wild' as Becky was, and sometimes if a boy or two weren't around she and Becky would have a little fun with each other. Not that they were Lesbians, but they were definitely at least a little Bi, at least with each other though they'd never indulged with another woman; at least she hadn't, she wasn't so sure about Becky though. The girl was insatiable. But best of all was when they had two; or more, boys in bed with them at the same time doing both of them. She loved foursomes, or even moresomes! Having a cock in her ass, one in her pussy, and/or one in her mouth at the same time, was just incredible. Then she'd watch while they gang-banged Becky before it was her turn again. Yep, they were definitively a little depraved; her parents would have had heart attacks if they realized what their timid little girl had 'learned' in college. They were picky about their boyfriends though, and made clear it was just for funsies, neither where ready for a serious relationship. Most of the boys had NO problem with that, nope, none at all.

Soon she was wearing the pendant every day, she liked the way it felt nestled between her breasts. Her breasts were fairly large; but firm, and the heavy pendant rested right at the top of her cleavage. She even started wearing it while she was sleeping. The school year had already ended, and while Becky was going home to visit her family for the summer Kelsey decided she'd stay and take some summer courses to help take some of the load off in the next semester. She wasn't as good at cramming as Becky was, and a full load plus extras was more then she could handle. She'd miss Becky, but that way they'd get to keep the nice 'bungalow' though, and Becky would keep helping her pay the rent, so it worked out pretty good all around. So she helped Becky pack as much of her junk in her beat up old Ford as they could, and then waved goodbye as her friend drove off in a cloud of exhaust fumes. Gag, cough, ack! That the thing even ran was a miracle, it was older then they were.

The apartment felt empty without her constantly chattering roommate, so she invited one of her boyfriends over, the one that liked to do anything. He was a 'steady' with both her and Becky, and usually did them both every time he dropped in for a 'visit'. With him it was pretty much strictly for the sex, she couldn't stand him otherwise, he was just too conceited; thought he was a writer or something, though she had to admit he was great in bed. Their 'bungalow' was actually a small cottage in the back of a hulking old house where their landlady lived; it was the old servants quarters, a nearly deaf old lady who looked like a toad. But Mrs. Fenster was a nice old bat, and the girls liked her. Best was they could party like Rock Stars and the old lady would never hear a thing, and the place was isolated enough that neighbors never complained. Once Mrs. Fenster took off her hearing aids and went to bed Godzilla stomping down the street wouldn't have woken her up, nor would Six Feet Under jamming in her backyard. It was a perfect arrangement, and everybody was happy. Plus the old lady made fantastic cookies, and usually had a plate or two 'leftover' for her 'nice young ladies'. She probably would have been appalled if she'd walked in on one of her tenant's weekly orgies.

As she waited for Todd to arrive Kelsey slipped into something that was easier to slip out of, since the object of Todd's visit was a mutually satisfying night of kinky sex. He had a thing for BDSM, and she loved to have him tie her up and 'rape' her for hours, using all sorts of toys until she was begging him to let her cum, and then she'd do the same to him. They were both big on orgasm denial. As she got ready; standing nude in her bedroom while she sorted through her 'play clothes', the light from the new moon shone in through the large window, bathing her nude body in its glow. She started to feel a little hot and flushed; and didn't notice the pendant glowing faintly, and moaned as her nipples hardened and she felt her sex grow wet and sensitive, fluids dripping down her thighs. God, she couldn't remember the last time she'd felt so horny!! She sat on the edge of the bed in the moonlight and started to finger herself, gasping in pleasure as she slid two of her fingers deep into her eager sex. She couldn't wait for Todd, she needed to cum NOW! She bent over looking at her aching pussy as she rapidly finger fucked herself, grunting and moaning like an animal, the pleasure incredible, and just as she reached a massively pleasurable orgasm the doorbell rang. Panting, her orgasm slowly fading, she threw on a robe and ran to the door. She felt better, but her lust was still intense, her need burning like a fire between her legs. She literally pulled Todd into the apartment, then hugged him and kissed him almost brutally, pressing her body against his, and the thin robe might as well have not even been there.

"Whoa!" Todd laughed, "you're hot to trot!"

Her only reply was to step back and let the robe fall to the floor, and soon Todd was 'hot to trot' too. A very short time later she was back in the bedroom, sitting on the edge of the bed with her legs spread as Todd ate her pussy, his tongue licking over her lips and clit before delving deep into her sex, and when he took her labial ring between his teeth and gave a tug she moaned in ecstasy, then gasped as he reached up and rubbed her swollen and sensitive clitoris.

"Ugggghhh," Kelsey moaned, "ohhhh, fuck me!!! Please, I need you!! Ugh, ugh, ugghhhh!"

Todd was only too happy to 'obey her wishes', and he flipped her over and mounted her from behind, and she gave muffled squeals and screams of pleasure as he took her hard and fast, her hands frantically tearing at the bed sheets. Ohhhh, she couldn't believe how horny she was!! "Faster!" She grunted, "Damn it, fuck me FASTER!"

Man, is she hot tonight! Todd thought as he humped her. He preferred Becky overall, but Kelsey was a good fuck too, and he had to admit she was as kinky as any other girls he'd fucked, and loved being tied up as much as he loved tying her up. She dressed plain and seemed a little frigid, but get her in bed, and holy shit! He gave a deep groan of pleasure as he reached his climax, and she bucked under him with a muffled scream as he felt her sexual juices squirt from around his still pounding cock, and oohhh, that was a good one!! Then as soon as he pulled out, she wanted him again! Usually she liked to cool off a little before round two.

In his prime Todd was probably about as good a lover as any other young man, and careful usage of certain 'supplements' increased his capability, and desire, for sex. He was an accomplished lover too, orally as well as genitally and anally. He knew what the girls liked, and more importantly, what he liked. He was usually good for four times a night, if he rested for a day in-between after an all-nighter. And usually he could satisfy both Becky and Kelsey during a visit, rotating between them until he'd fucked each twice. But Kelsey had never been this...desperate before. No matter how hard, or long, he fucked her she bucked and writhed, squealing like a cat and begging him to do her 'faster, harder!!' And as soon as they'd orgasmed; and she was having a LOT more orgasm's then he was; her pussy was sopping wet, she was begging him to fuck her again! At the end she'd almost literally raped him, getting on top and riding him to a final orgasm almost as painful as it was pleasurable, but after they came she wouldn't stop!! She kept riding his now painfully sensitive erection until he had to literally throw her off, and she fought him, digging her fingers into his shoulders as she kept riding him, her head thrown back, eyes shut, with salvia spitting from between her clenched teeth as she brutally ground down on him. He'd pushed and clawed at her heaving breasts, and finally managed to throw her off.

"NO!", Kelsey cried as Todd threw her off of him, his cock sliding from her aching quivering sex, "Don't stop!! Please don't stop fucking me!! Please Todd, I need you so badly!"

As Todd pulled on his pants; fuck the underwear, he said "Look Kelsey, I don't know what you're on, but it's an overdose!! When it wears off call me again, but I've had it for tonight! You fucked me dry! You need a damn Ram, not a man! I'm OUT of here!"

Kelsey hobbled after Todd as he went to the door, her fingers busy between her legs, begging him to stay, but he slammed the door in her face. With a moan she went back to the bedroom, and digging around found a nice big dildo that Becky had left behind, and lying down on the bed she propped herself up with some pillows, and with a gasp slid the very large rubber phallus into her aching sex and began to fuck herself with it. What is wrong with me?? She wondered, even as she moaned in pleasure, she must have had ten-twelve orgasms tonight so far, and it still wasn't anywhere near enough!! It was like she hadn't had sex at all, her need just as intense, maybe even more so! She spent almost the entire night desperately pleasuring herself; cumming repeatedly but unable to satisfy herslef, finally falling into an exhausted sleep as the moon set, the faint glow fading from the pendant.

Kelsey woke up with a gasp, still lying naked on top of the bed, the sheets sticky and hard from dried cum and other sexual fluids. Oh God, she thought, did that really happen?? What had been wrong with her?? She certainly enjoyed sex, but that had been...too much, it had been more like rutting animals. She'd always wondered what it might like to be a nymphomaniac, and while it had been incredible, it had also been scary. She hadn't been able to stop! But why had that happened? Absently she reached up and rubbed the warm oily feeling pendant absently, enjoying the feel of it against her breasts and fingers, she loved just touching it. Getting up she took a long hot shower, then stripped the bed and washed the sheets and covers.

She felt fine during the day, but as night came; and the moon rose, she felt herself becoming aroused again, the insatiable lust returning, and she stripped and stood in the window, the light of the moon almost felt like it was caressing her, and she felt her nipples rise and harden as she tweaked them and kneaded her breasts, her pussy growing wet and swollen with need, and lying down in the bed used the dildo to try and slake her need; sliding it into her eager needy sex as far as it would go, but no matter how often she orgasmed it did no good, the lust remaining, even intensifying. And she'd never know such agonizing pleasure before, each orgasm more intense and powerful then the previous as she came again, and again. She called Todd, begging him to come over again, but he just hung up after saying 'no way' a few times. Finally, towards dawn, the lust slowly faded and she collapsed into a deep sleep again, the dildo slipping from her sopping sex after one last agonizingly pleasurable orgasm. When she woke up it was already afternoon, and she was appalled to realize she'd missed the days classes. She'd never done that before! But she was more worried about what the night would bring, it was already getting dim outside. She decided that maybe if she was with other people it wouldn't happen again, maybe she was just lonely. She and Becky had often slept together, and often pleasured one another before going to sleep, so maybe she was just missing that. But how many orgasm's had she had last night?? A dozen, more?? She'd lost track in her desperate frenzy to satisfy her lust.

As usual she wore her favorite piece of jewelry; she never once associated what had happened the last couple of nights with the pendant. She went to a local student hangout called 'The Box'. It wasn't as crowded as usual due to it being summer vacation, but she quickly linked up with a boy she knew from some of her classes; like her he was taking summer courses. He was a little on the nerdy side; but was fun to talk to, and she wasn't unaware of the way he looked at her. All the boys did, and she found his shyness kind of nice for a change, he was no drooling stud. At first it was fine, but as the moon began to rise she felt herself getting wet again, her nipples hardening; her lust returning tenfold. She fought it as long as she could, but finally couldn't stand it any longer. She'd never slept with the boy before, but when she asked him if he wanted to come home with her he didn't hesitate. She knew she was coming on to him like some sort of slut, but didn't care; all she wanted was his cock in her, as soon as possible. Talk about role reversal!

As soon as they got back the apartment she literally ripped her; and his, clothes off, and with a few minutes he was energetically fucking her as she clawed as his back and moaned in pleasure. Oh yes, she thought, fuck me, fuck me as hard as you can!! Oh God, how she needed this!! He was inexperienced, but more than made up for it as one of his fantasies finally came true. She bucked and writhed under his thrusts, legs locked around his waist, gasping and moaning, orgasm after orgasm rocking her tormented body, but it was never enough!! After the third time the boy ejaculated into her aching sex he was spent, and her attempts to get him to fuck her again were useless. Not that he didn't want to, he was just worn out, totally drained. Finally she groaned; rubbing her mound and fingering herself while he watched, and asked,

"Do you have, ugghhh, have a friend??"

He did, and like any other freshman he and his friend where delighted to find an 'older' woman; she was a Junior, that wanted to have sex with them. It didn't hurt any that she was 'hot' either, though he probably would have accepted the 'invitation' even if she looked like Rosanne Barr. His friend arrived in record time, the offer of a 'hot woman' was irresistible, and despite being something of a nerd as well he was quite nicely endowed, and soon Kelsey was moaning in ecstasy again as the new boy fucked her with frantic determination as he lost his virginity in a rather mind-blowing way. He actually started fucking her before he even knew her name! The moon shone through the window onto the bed as they coupled, and as its bright rays soaked into her writhing body it helped hide the faint glow the pendant was giving off as it 'fed' from her insatiable and unnatural lust to recharge its magic. Somehow the other boy managed to get it up again, and soon she was sucking his cock as the other boy fucked her good and hard from behind, her eyes rolled up in her head from the incredible pleasure. Then when he got tired they called another friend, and by morning she had five randy young men in her bed doing their best to keep her satisfied; sometimes three at the same time, and she fucked each one into sexual exhaustion. She couldn't believe how good it felt to have three cocks in her at the same time as two pounded into her quivering sex and ass and she eagerly sucked and tongued the one in her mouth, looking out of the corner of her eyes at the other rampant males waiting their turn, it was sheer sexual euphoria. It was absolutely the best sex she'd ever had, and probably for the boys too. And it terrified her that it wasn't enough; no matter how many times they made her cum it her pussy was still just as needy! She knew something was wrong, but she couldn't stop! She groaned as the cock in her mouth pulsed and filled her mouth with hot cum, and then gave a muffled scream of ecstasy as she violently orgasmed, the cock in her pussy filling her already overflowing pussy with fresh cum that leaked out to run down her already drenched thighs. As soon as the boy pulled out another moved to take his place.

When she woke up later in the day Kelsey could not believe what had happened the night before, that five men had fucked her all night long. Three of the boys were still in bed with her, the sheets a gooey mess of cum and other sexual fluids, her body drenched with caked cum, and she remembered some of them fucking her during the day off and on, but she'd hardly stirred she was so exhausted, other than to moan in pleasure. She woke up lying on her back, a passed out boy between her still spread legs, his head resting between her breasts; a dreamy smile on his face, the other two on each side of her. They had finally woken up, and almost staggered as they left, all quite happy and wanting to 'go out' with her sometime, that night being the epitome of their college sexual experience to date. She told them she'd think about it. She was appalled now that her strange insatiable lust had faded again, though not as much as usual, her pussy still a little swollen and damp. She was certainly not a nympho slut, so why was she acting like one?? Was she going through some sort of stage?? She'd heard about women who were aroused all of the time, but it wasn't that bad right now; she could control it, it was only at night that she lost control. She washed and cleaned up the mess in the room, and realized she'd missed classes again! There was no way she could fuck all night and be able to get up early and go to class. This had to stop! But maybe it was over.

But it didn't, and later that evening she sat on the edge of the bed sliding the dildo in and out of her quivering insatiable pussy as fast as she could, grunting in unwanted pleasure as she orgasmed repeatedly. She couldn't stop; her lust was so intense it was almost painful, even worse than the night before. She wished she'd invited the boys back; she needed as many cocks in her as possible. But she couldn't stop using the dildo; using one hand to fuck herself with it, the other switching from her swollen sensitive clit to her nipples, and then back again, long enough to even make a phone call. Her total attention was fixed on giving herself as much pleasure as possible as she lay on the bed, the moonlight bathing her body. After awhile she looked up at the moon, relishing its warm rays on her body, and groaned as another massive orgasm exploded deep inside her clenching spasming sex. What was WRONG with her!?! But it felt sooo good! She had no way of knowing, but as the moon waned into fullness her sexual needs increased dramatically, and tonight was the full moon. The pendant had b been glowing just a little brighter every night; but the glow was hidden in the moonbeams bathing her sweat slick body as she frantically tried to slake her now insatiable need, the agonizingly intense pleasure almost unbearable as the ancient spell became more powerful the more she pleasured herself. Soon it would reach its maximum required level and take effect. But that would wait until tonight.

Kelsey dragged herself into the bathroom, took a long hot shower, and then collapsed into the bed again. She was too tired to even clean the still damp sheets; avoiding the spot her sexual juices had drenched during the night as she climaxed again and again, cumming almost constantly. She no longer cared she'd missed her classes, other than to call in sick. That was it, tomorrow she was going to a doctor, she had to find out what was making her get so horny at night before she went insane. She enjoyed sex a lot, but this was more like some animal in rut, a horrible insatiable rut. The pleasure was real, but was unwanted, at least like that. She enjoyed drawing out sex, enjoyed all the foreplay, the growing arousal and anticipation. But this was like a bitch in heat. But today she was just going to get some rest. She decided she'd take some of Becky's sleeping pills when night fell, and maybe they'd knock her out, make the night bearable.

The pills helped her to fall asleep, but as the moon slowly rose; it's beams bathing her nude body, she writhed and moaned; a stain growing on the sheets between her legs. Finally she woke up with a gasp; drenched in sweat, her pussy aching and quivering, and with a sob she grabbed the dildo and plunged it into herself, having a agonizingly intense climax almost instantly. She still wasn't quite awake; the powerful sleeping pills clouding her mind, but the lust was terrible, her need irresistible. She was groggy and a little confused, but knew what she needed, desperately. She looked at the clock and moaned, it was too late to call anybody!! She needed a man; or men, bad! She looked around as she pistoned the dildo between her legs as fast and as hard as she could. What could she do, it wasn't enough! She had found if she stayed in the moonlight it helped, but the angle had moved and not enough moonlight was coming in the window anymore. Finally; several almost painful orgasms later, she got up and went outside into the backyard, desperate for relief. She was still nude, but the fence was quite tall and the place largely overgrown, so she doubted she'd be seen, and didn't really care if she was. She stood grunting and fingering her quivering pussy, and looked around. She needed to sit; or lay down, where she could use the dildo, but where??

She smiled when she caught sight of the old gazebo, the roof was long gone, but the old wrought iron bench and concrete foundation was still there. She'd be in direct moonlight until the moon set, it was perfect!! She walked over to the gazebo, and sitting down on the bench she let herself slump down, and spreading her legs began to fuck herself with the dildo again, her nude sweaty body bathed in pure moonlight from the now full moon. It was a warm, humid, night and she moaned in pleasure as another orgasm racked her body. She was unaware of the pendant as its soft glow slowly grew brighter, and began to seep into her body causing her sweat stained skin to start to glow faintly as well. She groaned and writhed in ecstasy as she kept pleasuring herself, and gradually her whole body began to glow faintly though she remained unaware as she grunted and writhed in sexual ecstasy. If someone had seen her they might have easily mistaken her for a ghost. But she remained oblivious; her eyes closed as she bathed in the beams of the moon, gasping and moaning in pleasure, and as the right moment and conditions were reached the spell in the pendant took effect. It was time.

The dim glow her body emanated grew brighter for a minute, and then faded again, then began to pulse in a slow rhythm. Kelsey still hadn't noticed anything wrong, the first signs of her change subtle and masked by her incredible sexual pleasure, as had been intended. The insatiable lust was just to make the victim almost helpless and unable to actively resist to any degree, and of course to provide the power for the spell, the life essence it needed.

The first noticeable sign was when the toes of her feet began to lengthen; pushing out into long tendril like growths, each one slowly curling and feeling along the ground, and her ankles quickly became shapeless lumps as more tendrils spouted to join the others as her feet became writhing bundles of...roots. The skin on her legs began to darken, the color rapidly spreading up from her feet into her legs, and she moaned as it reached her vagina. The dildo had been penetrating her easily almost to the hilt; despite it's rather large size, but suddenly it began to meet resistance, more and more of it remaining outside of her still needy sex as she kept stroking with it, but the pleasure remained just as intense, a pleasurable tingling spreading over her body. The darkening skin reached her torso, and suddenly she felt her hands and fingers start tingling, and they lost their hold on the dildo, and it slid from her pussy followed by a final spray of orgasmic juices as she had an incredibly violent climax causing her to cry out.

"Damn it.", she muttered in irritation, and bent over to retrieve the dildo, or tried to, but her waist wouldn't bend much. Then she saw her hands, and held them up to look at them in confusion. "What the fuck?" She murmured, it looked like she was wearing gloves, her fingers had lengthened and thin...skin?, had grown between them making them look webbed. Leaning forward as far as she could she looked down at her feet; or where her feet should have been, and squealed in terror. Her 'feet' were now large misshapen lumps of writhing...roots! She gasped as the tingling spread into her head, and a slow shower of hair began to fall past her eyes. With a moan she reached up, her increasingly branch like arm and hand coming back with a large clump of her hair. She looked at herself in total confusion, and rapibly growing horror. She was glowing, and WHAT was happening to her!?! Help, I've...I've got to get help!! She thought, and with a gasp she managed to use her increasingly stiff feeling arms to lever herself up into an upright position, and despite her thick and clumsy legs she managed to stagger off of the gazebo, and the twisting questing roots immediately tried to dig into the ground, but she was able to move fast enough in a kind of staggering shuffle until she reached the main house's back door.

She stood on top of the steps and banged on the door desperately. "Mrs. Fenster!! Please, help me!! It's Kelsey!! S-Something's wrong with me!"

Looking down she moaned, and ran a hand that now looked more like a large leaf over her crotch, but it was slick and bare, no trace of her vagina remained except for the small gold labial lip ring, and even worse, her legs were beginning to grow together! The hard rubbery green skin was pulling them together!!

"Mrs. Fenster, Oh GOD, please!!" She yelled as she banged on the door, "Help me, something's happening to me!! Call an ambulance, Please!!"

But despite her loud banging no lights came on, and she was too far away to be heard at any of the other houses. Her hearing aids; Kelsey remembered, she's deaf without them!! She can't hear me no matter how loudly I yell or bang on the door! Clumsily she managed to turn around, and looked across the yard at the apartment. She had to make it there, get to a phone!! She looked down again, and sobbed as she saw her legs were firmly joined down to the knees, the skin moving down her calves now as they kept slowly growing together. The roots on her 'feet' had become longer, and one had slithered off the edge of the steps and she could feel it digging into the ground.

"NO!" She yelled, and lurching down off the steps managed to pull the root out of the ground. She shuffled slowly and awkwardly toward the apartment, spreading her stiffening arms to help balance herself. She gasped as she felt something happening to her head, it began to feel soft and malleable, almost like it was flowing slowly into a new shape, and her large breasts had begun to shrink, her increasingly tubular body slowly absorbing them. Grunting she shuffled across the yard, the roots continually trying to dig into the soil, to reach the nutrients it offered. But the lawn was pretty much brown, the soil fairly hard and dry, and the roots couldn't get enough purchase if she kept moving. This was until she reached the freshly turned; and fertilized, earth edging the sides of the walk leading to the bungalow. One of Becky's little projects. Just a few feet from the door she was jerked to a stop, and no matter how hard she tried couldn't move any further as root after root eagerly burrowed into the freshly turned and fertilized earth.

"Nuuh, uh, uh, urrrghh, nuuuuh!" Kelsey moaned in horror as she looked down to find her roots busily digging into the rich moist soil, and as she watched her legs completely fused and became a...stem. She writhed and swayed, desperately trying to pull free, but all the roots were deeply buried now, and she squealed as her knees locked and she began to sink into the ground as the soil churned. She tried to reach down with her hands to pull them out, but her arms had become rigid, the large leaves on them lifted to the beams of the moon that still bathed her body, speeding up the transformation, her body pulsing with soft intense light.

"Uh, UH, NUUUHHHH!!" She squealed, unable to make any other sounds. She stopped sinking at about where her knees had been, her breasts now small fading lumps, no sign of her nipples remaining. Frantically she writhed, only her waist still partially able to move. "UH, Uh-huh, huh, UHHHH!"

She felt the strangest feeling as she suddenly began to look up, unable to stop herself, and watched as large fleshly flaps of skin grew up around her face until she was looking up from the center of a...flower. "NUH, uhh, urrggg, uhhh" she slobbered as her tongue began to push out into a long sticky; almost prehensile, stamen like form, and then the still forming petals slowly closed, sealing her into a wet moist darkness. She felt a few more changes overtake her; body stiffening even more, and then the tingling died away. She tried to move, to make a sound, anything!! But was immobile, rigid. But she could feel the warmth of the moons beams on her 'head', and suddenly she 'bloomed', the petals opening again. She kept trying to say something, call for help, but the only thing that moved was her 'stamen' as it slithered out of the wet toothless maw her mouth had become, to lick and slobber across the petals. There were no eyes, no nose, nothing human. Just a rather large 'flower'. The glow slowly faded, and it was over. The pendant and chain had slid down her now narrower and slender stalk to the top of her two short limbs with the large broad leaves on the ends. But except for the stamen slowly licking across the petals nothing else moved.

I...I can still think!! Kelsey realized, I'm still ME!! But WHAT am I now?? She could feel her body, feel her roots still digging deeper into the rich welcoming earth, and it felt so good. She wriggled her 'toes', and felt the roots dig even deeper, and could feel water and 'food' flowing into her body. And the moonlight, it felt wonderful on her...petals? The beams warm and soothing. To her astonishment; and some relief, she found she actually had a kind of 'vision' in a 360 arc around herself. It was dim and blurred, but she could identify shapes, especially if they were closer, it was something like looking at a black and white negative. She tried to scream again, the stamen flopping slowly, thick sticky mucus oozing from it.

As the stamen moved around aimlessly a very large moth; attracted by the glow of moonlight on the pale white petals of the large flower; as well as the scent of its nectar, landed on the stamen, and was instantly trapped by the sticky sap. Before she even realized she was doing it the stamen slowly pulled the struggling insect inside the bulge at the base of the flower, and when it emerged the moth was gone. Oh my God, Kelsey realized, I'm a carnivorous plant!! I just ate a bug! And worst of all, she hadn't been able to stop herself! It had been an instinctive movement triggered by the touch on her petals. The sweet sticky flower soon attracted more moths and other insects, and almost every time the stamen emerged to lick over the petals it found new prey to swallow. Soon she felt...full.

The remainder of the night passed peacefully; the large flower giving no indication of the terrified mind trapped within it, and towards morning Kelsey felt her petals began to close, no matter how hard she tried to stop it. Soon her 'head' was a large smooth bud, a little sweet sticky sap drooling from the tight seal of her petals. She felt the sun come up, and the warmth felt wonderful, and soon she fell 'asleep' as its warmth penetrated her body, she couldn't resist. The day passed, and as night fell the large flower slowly turned its 'head' towards the rising moon, and with a wet 'sluuurp' the bud bloomed, and soon she was feeding again, both from the moonbeams and the unlucky insects her irresistible nectar attracted in large numbers, and she could feel her roots sucking moisture and nourishment from the ground as well. As she became more 'aware' as she woke up Kelsey tried desperately to move, to do ANYthing!! Finally she stopped, crying in her mind, Oh God, I don't want to be a PLANT! Later there was a short, but strong, rain shower and she relished the fresh water splashing over her body, her roots sucking at it eagerly, the fresh water dripping from her leaves and petals as they absorbed it. It felt wonderful.

The next morning, shortly after Kelsey's flower had sealed for the day, old Mrs. Fenster came out to piddle around in the yard a little bit, she refused to accept it was far too overgrown for her little efforts to make much difference. As she walked up the walk to the bungalow she paused, and looked at the large plant growing next to it. Whoa, don't remember THAT being there! Mrs. Fenster thought. It was big, whatever it was, the top reaching her breasts. The stalk was a shiny green, as were the short limbs and it had two large darker green leaves. The huge bud had a green outer layer, but she could see white at the tip, a thick honey like sap dripping slowly from it, some flies caught in the sticky liquid. Ugh, she thought, must be a weed. She'd ask Kelsey about it later, maybe one of the girls had planted it. Frankly she'd hoped for geraniums. As she kept walking past she didn't see the plant shudder slightly, the bud bobbing a little.

'Mrs. Fenster, oh God!!! It's me!!' Kelsey cried in her mind, 'help me, please!! It's horrible being like this!!! Mrs. Fenster!! NOOO, don't leave me!!' But she could only 'watch' as the old woman entered the bungalow. 'Mrs. Fenster, pleeaassseee! I'm not a plant, it's me!!'

Mrs. Fenster called for Kelsey as she entered the bungalow, but when there was no answer she assumed the girl was out running around. She was a little annoyed that the place was kind of trashed though; usually Becky was the one that had wild parties. Kelsey seemed to be a more organized girl, and she'd come over to invite her to dinner tonight. She liked the girls, and their company was bright moments in her long boring life, her husband having died over twenty years ago. Finally she left, ignoring the strange plant.

When Kelsey didn't show up in a couple of days Mrs. Fenster got worried, and called her family. When they had no idea where she was, they called Becky hopefully, thinking maybe Kelsey had gone to visit her friend. When that was a dead end they called the police. The detectives came, searched the apartment and grounds, but while the sheets on the bed were soaked in sexual fluids, both female and male; from several different males as it turned out, there was no real sigh of foul play. The only thing they found in the yard was an old dildo, which may or may not have had any relation to the case, but they bagged it anyway. Boyfriends; and girlfriends, were visited and questioned, but everyone had good alibis, and no 'alarm bells' rang from the way they behaved. They just seemed to be horribly worried; a couple even crying as the missing girl had been popular. Finally, after several months had passed, the case was shelved for lack of any clues or new developments, and her name was entered on the long list of missing persons. They gave the family the OK to clean her stuff out of the apartment, but not being able to face that they asked Becky to do it.

During this time Kelsey had been aware as her friends; and cops, came and went until finally the bungalow was left cold and empty. All her efforts to attract attention, to contact someone, were useless. During the day her flower was tightly closed, and she couldn't extend her stamen and slobber, the only thing she had any control over. A few people had stopped to examine her, and one had finally noticed the gold pendant slung around her stalk. As they removed it she finally realized it must have been the source of the ongoing horror of her new existence, somehow that God Damned pendant and changed her into a fucking plant! She managed to quiver a little; trying to open her petals, trying to warn someone, attract some attention, but since the wind was blowing no one noticed the slight movement, and no one noticed the small gold ring protruding from her rubbery stalk near its base where her sex had once been. The pendant eventually joined the other evidence in a box in the cold cases storage room, where it would wait for its next victim. For now it was spent, harmless; that is until another person were to put it on and wear it long enough at night for the full moon to rise.

During this time Kelsey had been slowly growing, the warm weather and almost nightly rain showers causing a growth spurt, and now her flower was taller than the heads of most people. And her diet had changed as well. She still 'ate' mainly bugs, but also small rodents, including some sort of bat that were attracted by the sweet scent of her nectar. The first was a mouse, the small creature climbing her stalk to the source of the wonderful smell, only to be pulled helplessly into her wet slobbering maw as it squeaked in terror. And this sudden change in her diet seemed to trigger another change, her stalk thickened, began to turn brown, and she could feel her 'meals' slide down its length and into an underground chamber she could feel forming. At first her 'stomach' had been little more then a pool of acid at the base of her flower, but now that larger prey; much harder to digest, were being eaten she changed to meet the new need. And she had no control over the feeding reflex, horrified that she was eating living animals alive. She could feel them struggling in her 'stomach' long after she'd swallowed them. And at night she now found she was able to move her 'body', at first the ability very limited, but slowly increasing as she got larger. She could slowly swivel her flower, and even lower it slightly. But in the daylight she became rigid and immobile, her flower tightly closed. And the fuller the moon was the more she could move. She loved the moon, it rays bathing her 'body' gave her an almost sexual pleasure as she eagerly opened her flower and turned towards it, her stamen moving constantly as she fed.

And to her growing dismay she also realized she was becoming a plant more and more in her mind, rather than just in body. The simple life cycle was numbing, and she was having more and more trouble remembering that she wasn't a plant!!! She knew if her mind went, so did all hope. And how long would she continue to live like this?? A simple; almost mindless, plant? A slowly growing, always hungry, carnivorous plant!! Some plants lived hundreds of years, God what a horrible thought! Would she even be aware at all as she grew larger and older, would her human memories fade entirely?? That was her greatest terror; that she would become a plant entirely.

The End
