It was the dead of night; the only thing that moved about in the alleys between the large warehouses that made up the port were the small animals that scurried about looking for food that dock workers might have left behind. Even the guards that sometimes patrolled the area looking for trespassers were in their guard stations, watching the cameras while also engaging in other activities such as crossword puzzles or their phones. With most of the cargo that entered into the port leaving right away, especially anything of value, most of the goods that were stored in the area was overflow that often were forgotten and rotted until the owners of the warehouse finally just threw it all away. It was not the place where one would expect a thief to go out of their way to steal from, yet that was exactly why the black fox on top of one of the thin metal roofs was there.

As Joanna perched on her vantage point she looked down at the piece of paper that had the path to a particular warehouse. While normally she would have burned such directions it wasn't the only thing that she had written down. The source that had told her about a forgotten treasure that was stored in these same warehouses that she looked over had also said it would be like looking for a needle in a haystack, fortunately they knew the location of the needle and had given it to her as well. Though it was someone that she normally didn't get information from the broker said that she wouldn't have to pay them until she actually retrieved the object from the warehouse and then they could split the find, which was just fine for the vulpine as she carefully jumped from one roof to the other while she continued to keep her bearings.

The soft sound of her footfalls on the metal were the only sounds that she heard in the night as she made her way forward, eventually stopping at the skylight from the building that was marked on her makeshift map. From this point forward she knew that she had to be both quick and quiet since she was already trespassing, though from the fact that she saw nothing but dummy cameras and simple trip alarms on the way over this wouldn't be the hardest place she had ever broken into. After using a device to bypass the connection on the skylight she opened it up and peered inside, seeing nothing but darkness until she tossed a glow stick down after making sure the coast was clear. As she poked her head inside a musty smell invaded her nostrils, the scent of rotted wood among other things as she took her rope and tossed it down as well.

It took only a minute for her feet to hit the concrete floor and when it did she found that it was damp, like rain had been leaking in even though it was dry as a bone outside. The odor was also more prevalent down here and as she looked at a nearby box that was illuminated by the light of her glow stick she found that it was nearly falling apart. A quick test with the palm of her hand against the side of it caused the wood to cave in and the contents within to spill out, backing away as a number of glass bottles clattered to the ground. The noise was enough to put her back on alert in case anyone heard it but after straining her ears it appeared that her transgression had gone unnoticed and she picked up her light source to examine the paper once more.

From the orientation of the warehouse and where she came in she realized that she would have to walk nearly to the other side, a prospect she wasn't fond of as she looked up at the stacks of crates. It looked like they had been stored out in the rain for decades as she carefully passed by the makeshift towers, though as she looked at a mostly destroyed packing slip she noticed the date was only a few months ago. These must have come in pretty bad shape to begin with, the fox thought to herself as she held up the glow stick in front of her, and considering the neglect it's unlikely anyone even checked up on this inventory since it was brought there. None of that mattered to her anyway, her only fixation was looking at the row markers that hung above the crates until she got to the one that she needed and then went to the bay marked on her paper.

When she got there she was surprised to see that there was nothing there, Joanna poking her head into the empty bay to find that the only thing that it housed were several puddles of water. That didn't make any sense, the fox thought to herself as she used her glow stick to walk around the empty bay, why would the information broker lead her to a place with nothing in it? At first she thought that perhaps someone else had come in and moved the crate but as she looked over at the nearby doors and other piles of crates they all looked completely undisturbed. It was unlikely that anyone had come through those portals in months, if not years, yet as she went to the middle of the shipping bay she still found herself without the treasure she had come for.

Just as she was about to call the entire thing a loss however she heard the faint sound of metal popping back into place as she moved. When she looked down the ground was all concrete, yet as she took a few steps around the area she once more heard the noise as she went back to the middle of the empty bay. With paying attention the black fox found that not only did she hear the noise but also felt herself sink slightly, something that definitely shouldn't happen to a foundation like that. A smile formed on her muzzle as she stepped off the area once more and upon closer examination found faint lines that formed a square in the otherwise solid floor.

A secret passage… someone went to great lengths to hide this, Joanna thought to herself as she looked for a way to open it. When she couldn't find one she tried to take the mini crowbar she brought along with her to wedge between the metal and concrete in order to lift it up, only to find that it didn't budge an inch. It was something that whoever installed this definitely didn't want someone to open, but she didn't come all this way just to be stopped by something like a door as she carefully pulled a vial out of her bag and unscrewed the lid. Once the tip was exposed she turned it over and pressed the button on the side of the metal container, which allowed the contents to drip into the tiny seam that she had found. Acrid smoke started to rise up even before she got done and by the time she finished she could see that the metal door was already starting to sag slightly.

Within a few minutes of the application of the liquid the door buckled and fell downwards into the hidden room below. She carefully capped the vial once more and started down the stairs, though as she did she looked at the doorframe while she passed by. Upon closer examination the fox found that the door wasn't just closed, someone had welded it shut. It made her wonder what could possibly be down here that would warrant such security and hoped that this wasn't some sort of radioactive dump site as she hoped down the rest of the way and splashed in the ankle-deep water of the floor.

The room itself was rather small and as she used her glowstick to see she found that there was only one crate in the entire room. Unlike the others above the wood was pristine and had engravings on it that she had never seen before, which only piqued her curiosity even more as she went over and used the mini crowbar she had previously used in order to pry up the cover. While she managed to get the tool within the space between the cover and rest of the crate however she found someone had put in dozens of nails on each side, causing her to have to work for nearly half an hour before she managed to pry it completely up. Whatever is in here had better be worth all this, she grumbled to herself as she put the dislodged cover aside and pulled out the packing materials that were on top.

As she finally felt something solid underneath her fingers Joanna's eyes lit up, hoping that this was what she was looking for. As she started to pull it up and the packing peanuts fell away it was definitely heavy, and when she finally started to get a good look at it she saw way as shiny metal glinted in the light of her glowstick. With a loud grunt she pulled it up the rest of the way and when it was finally revealed in all its glory she felt her jaw drop slightly. While she hadn't been sure what to expect when she was told to steal an idol she certainly wasn't ready for the creature that was featured in the black stone.

While it was vaguely humanoid in nature and from what she could tell it was a woman, but it was hard to see since her naked body had all manner of tentacles that came out of it. Her features also looked more like they belonged on some sort of aquatic creature than a human as it appeared every orifice had at least one tentacle that emerged from it. Erotic would be one way to describe it for sure, Joanna thought to herself as she put the idol in her bag, and couldn't imagine who would worship such a strange thing as she started to make her way out. It didn't matter to her either way since she was just doing it for the money and had no idea about this sort of nonsense, which if she had then she perhaps would have been more worried as the glowing purple symbols that had appeared on the crate flickered and dissolved away as she left the hidden storage area…

By the time Joanna got back to her safe house it was already starting to get close to morning, and while there were a few hours of darkness left where she could get things done she had started to feel fatigued as she made her way up to her apartment. While the break-in hadn't been that hard it felt like she had just climbed up the side of a skyscraper all night, which was something she had actually done, and just wanted to go to bed. The meet-up to exchange the idol wasn't for a few more days anyway and from the state of the warehouse it was unlikely anyone would even notice the theft at all. Once she had gotten into her apartment she went over and put the satchel down on the table, only to notice something that was coming out of the corner of her bag that prompted her to open it.

“Oh gross," Joanna said as she lifted the idol up to find that it and the inside of her bag was covered in some sort of thick slime. “The client didn't say this thing leaked snot everywhere, I'm going to be charging him for another bag for sure. Ugh, it even smells like fish."

By this point the vixen was far too tired to do anything about it and just put the bag and idol in the sink before heading to bed. The bag was probably a lost cause anyway, she thought to herself as she made her way towards her bedroom and took off her gear as she did. It felt as though all the strength had been sapped out of her and it made her wonder if there was something in that slime that she should worry about, though other than being tired there was nothing else wrong with her. She managed to get to her bed just as she took off the last of her clothes and flopped down on the covers, but as Joanna's eyes began to close she thought she saw a shadow though it wasn't enough to stop her from falling into unconsciousness…

When Joanna opened her eyes again she awoke with a slight jump, though as she looked around the dark room there was nothing that would have prompted her to do such a thing. It was still night out, which meant that she had only slept for a few hours, but as she rubbed her hands against her fur it felt… damp, like she had been out in the rain. She remembered that the warehouse was pretty waterlogged and that she hadn't taken a shower like she usually had, which was something she was keen on rectifying. At least the fatigue that she was feeling seemed to be gone as she hopped over to her bathroom and turned the water on in her shower.

As she waited for the water to warm up she looked at herself in the mirror, green eyes looking back at her as she pulled back her blonde hair. It wasn't long before steam accumulated enough she had to wipe the condensation away from it to see herself again. When she did she jumped at the shadow that stood behind her, but when she spun around the only thing she saw was her tile wall. Pull yourself together Joanna, the vixen thought to herself with a sigh, this idol got you seeing things.

At this point the water was more than hot enough for her and she stepped over the lip of the bathtub, letting it soak into her fur and wash away the grime from her latest theft. As she tried to relax her body her mind continued to think back to that idol before she found herself grimacing and trying to push the thought away. She had stolen artifacts like that before, why was this bothering her so much? Either way she couldn't wait to get the chunk of stone that was sitting in her sink out of her life as soon as possible.

For a few minutes Joanna continued to lean there and let the water cascade over her until suddenly she no longer felt it running down her body. When she looked up she frowned upon seeing the dry showerhead and gave it a few taps. “What the hell…" Joanna said with a sigh as she adjusted the knobs for a few seconds before she brought both hands up to try and adjust the metal band. “They better not have shut off the water ag-ah!"

Suddenly the entire pipe burst and before Joanna could move her hands away several thin tentacles whipped around and wrapped around her wrists, keeping her arms above her head as she tried to wiggle away. Though they were rather small the tendrils were rather strong and kept her practically hanging there, the fox slipping and nearly losing her balance. As she tried to get out of the tub she heard a pop and saw that her drain cover had been launched off as several more tentacles pushed up from the pipes below. Panic immediately flooded Joanna's brain but even as she tried to brace herself against the wall she couldn't break free as more tentacles started to bust out through the tile wall as well.

When Joanna's wet paws once more slipped and her feet went back down into the tub several of the bizarre black tentacles wrapped around her body, coating her feet in slime before spreading them open. With her wrists and ankles restrained the only thing she could think of doing was yelling for help, but before she could even open her mouth one of the tentacles that had emerged from the ceiling slithered down and pushed into her muzzle, the tip rubbing against her tongue before pushing further in. As more and more of the appendages wrapped around her she felt her body start to go numb, the strength leaving her body as she felt several of them slide through her fur and stroke almost lovingly against her body. What was going on, Joanna wondered in her fear before the tentacle in her maw shifted and turned her head towards the nearby sink.

No… Joanna's eyes went wide as she saw the idol sitting there staring right at her, it can't be possible. Even though she tried to tell herself this was some sort of perverted nightmare everything felt real as she felt something tease the folds of her pussy between her legs. When she looked down she let out a muffled gasp as a tentacle bigger than any of the ones she had seen before had pushed its way up from the bottom of the tub and was aimed right at her groin. With her limbs immobilized there was nothing she could do as it began to tease its way in, causing her back to arch as somehow this thing was stimulating her unlike anything she had ever felt before. At the same time several of the smaller tentacles continued to slither around her breasts and tease her nipples as though to keep her in some sort of bizarre sexual euphoria.

While the black fox was no stranger to having something inside of her this was something else entirely and as she felt her walls start to get stretched open it was like having a rather large cock inside of her. Her body was starting to become more receptive to the machination of whatever strange creature had decided to visit her in her dreams, which is what Joanna still believed this was. Tentacle monsters didn't actually exist, she was hallucinating or something even as she felt her pussy start to bulge from the tentacle pushing inside. It wasn't the only one penetrating her either as the one in her maw decided to continue to slither down into her throat, causing her to pull her head back as she felt her neck bulge from the insertion.

The other tentacles that weren't binding her or pumping into her had continued to caress and fondle her body, particularly teasing her nipples and causing her body to quiver. It was pleasure unlike anything she had ever experienced before and even though there was still the horror of some eldritch creature having its way with her body it was so intensely sexual that it drove out her fear. Even when she began to hear the whisper of a low voice she couldn't make it out, especially not after the tentacle between her legs had begun to thrust into her and caused her hips to buckle. She could feel thick drool starting to drip down her muzzle as the one in her maw started to leak some sort of slime, something similar happening to her pussy as she felt it dripping with the alien fluids.

When it finally got deep enough that the fur of her stomach was bulging out Joanna felt the tentacle inside her stop, which prompted her to look down as best she could while still having another one in her mouth. At first other than the pulsating and wiggling from the tentacles it didn't look like anything was happening, but that quickly changed when she heard a crack and saw her tub split in half. Something large had started to travel up the tentacle that was buried inside of her snatch and seeing caused her to renew her struggles, but she was still bound tight and unable to do anything as it slowly traveled upwards towards her stretched pussy. All she could do was watch as it made its way upwards, eventually reaching her and causing her to let out a muffled scream of pleasure as it pushed deep inside while the word vessel rang out in her mind…

Joanna let out a loud gasp as she sat up in her bed, panting heavily as she felt an orgasm wash over her. When she looked around frantically she saw that she was back in her bed and that there were no tentacles anywhere, especially not inside her as she tried to slow her heart rate and breathing. A dream… it had all just been a crazy sex nightmare as she brought her fingers down to her pussy. She found the area to be wet and extremely sensitive to the touch, but with nothing else there she fell back into her bed and breathed a sigh of relief while she waited for her body to stop trembling.

Just as the fox felt like she was getting back to normal however she felt her stomach tremble, and when she looked down she noticed that she looked a little more swollen down there than usual. When she brought her hands down to press against it to see if was possibly just being bloated she gasped when she felt something push up against her hands as though in response. There was another ripple of her dark grey chest fur and she could definitely feel something inside of her at that point, which was only punctuated as her stomach continued to stretch and expand. What made things worse was that it was somehow causing ripples to go down her pussy and causing her to get even more aroused, the fox hugging her growing stomach and letting out loud gasps of pleasure.

By the time she was able to regain some sense of composure she looked down to see that her stomach was bulging out significantly, the rounded dome of her belly quivering as she felt something squirming around inside of her. It looked like she was pregnant, and as she struggled to get up she saw something on the dresser facing her that caused her to gasp. It was the idol sitting there staring at her, but unlike before there was a purple aura that the statue seemed to have. The whispering also returned and as she put her hands to her ears she screamed at it, asking what it wanted as her belly wiggled and grew even bigger.

A vessel…

Her eyes widened as she heard the word ring out clear in her mind, feeling the alien presence that had been lurking in the corners of her brain start to make itself more known. What had she done, Joanna thought to herself as she felt another pang of pleasure go through her system as she became even bigger around her midsection. This statue, this idol, it had been hidden down there for a reason, she could feel the presence of a being much greater than her influencing her mind just like the thing inside of her body. It had chosen her, made her into its vessel, and as she let out a loud moan she clutched her stomach as the heavily pregnant belly wiggled and writhed under her fur until it all just suddenly stopped.

For a brief respite the power and pleasure that had been coursing through her body was no longer there, though her stomach was as rotund as ever and noticed her breasts had become swollen as well. As she continued to lay there panting she suddenly felt movement in her abdomen, but to her relief it was her belly actually starting to deflate. Her jubilation was short-lived however as she began to feel something press against her folds. At first she thought that the tentacles were back but when she looked over her belly she didn't see anything there, but yet the stimulation continued and as she began to moan and arch her back she could clearly feel something pushing into her pussy.

As she looked back down at her stomach though she found that it wasn't something pushing into her, Joanna's eyes widened as her abs flattened she saw something still pushing out the fur down there. Tentacles, they were inside of her and as more of her belly deflated the more they started to push out into the rest of her body. The pleasure once more intensified as she curled herself around to see that there were tentacles pushing out of her vagina, wiggling in the air as she got onto her hands and knees to try and figure out what was going on. Her entire body spasmed and quivered as the alien entity within her continued to take control, feeding her with orgasmic bliss so intense that it was causing her to lose focus even as the fur around her midsection began to become wet and shiny.

When Joanna managed to get a hold of herself she remembered that she had left her phone in her pants pocket that was near the bed, but when she tried to turn her body to get it she felt like she was stuck in quicksand. When she looked down she saw that the fur on her stomach and legs had been replaced with shiny wet skin that had adopted her coloration as it spread outwards. Underneath it more tentacles could be seen squirming around as the creature within her slowly took her over, which was made worse by the fact she was enjoying every second of it. By the time she had managed to turn all the way around most of her lower body had transformed and as more tentacles pushed their way out of her tailhole they joined the ones writhing in her pussy to start to cover her body just like the idol…

Without even realizing it the fox had turned herself so that she was facing the idol, and as her eyes locked onto it she felt he alien being within her stir even more rapidly. Her back bucked slightly from the pleasure that came from tentacles pushing out of it as her breasts grew bigger from the corruption that rose up inside of her. There was nothing she could do at this point, her body remained frozen in place as her eyes widened before becoming half-lidded as her mind became soaked in corruptive energy. As tendrils emerged from her nipples and her tail began to push into her tentacle-laden pussy the fox found herself agreeing with the voices whispering within, her desire turning from escape to being the vessel of this creature that had linked with her.

As her willpower crumbled she felt her phallic tentacle tipped tail start to pump into her as the tentacles underneath her fur began to push their way up towards her head. With the corruption already rooted into her psyche from the idol it didn't take much before she was completely taken over, her mouth going slack as the eldritch abomination infested her completely. Her boobs continued to swell with new growth as the rest of her body became wrapped up in more of the tendrils that had emerged from her maw. By this point Joanna had become shackled to the pleasure, a mere servant to the creature that possessed her as something began to stretch out her throat. With one last mental submission from the tendrils in her brain she let out a gurgle as several tentacles pushed their way out of her maw, her own tongue transforming and joining them as her growing body orgasmed.

If Joanna had bothered to put a mirror in her bedroom the creature she would have seen in her reflection would not be the fox that she had started out with, while the monstrous creature retained a few of her vulpine features they were shadowed by the tentacles that had taken over her entire body. That was fine with the former vixen though, in her corrupted mind she knew that she was merely a vessel for the entity that was housed in the idol that she had stolen before. This was her fate, her destiny as her thickening tail continued to pound into her own snatch. With the idol's hold over her mind complete there was no reason to stare at it anymore and she flopped back onto her bed that had several larger tentacles slithering over it.

Soon her apartment and the surrounding area will become much like the warehouse as the eldritch magic seeped into the building, and as it did others may start to try and seek out the queen of tentacles in order to join with her. But she had a much faster way of starting her brood as her tail continued to thrust deep into her pussy while her hands fondled her breasts and the tentacles that emerged from them. Each one that she stroked was like pleasuring the actual erogenous zone it was connected to and that caused the alien creature to wiggle in the blissful pleasure of its host. If the tentacles that came from its maw hadn't wrapped around the vulpine muzzle it would be seen smiling as she felt more power flow through her, this time into her tail as she was overcome with yet another orgasm.

It wasn't long before her tail withdrew from her pussy and her body calmed down, though she could see that there was still a lump that wasn't caused by the insertion. The creature within as well as the host let out a synchronized chur as her stomach once more began to grow, but this time much slower as it brought in yet another creature from beyond the veil into this world from her self-impregnation. As she slowly got up from her soaked bed her belly once more became gravid as she went from flat to several months pregnant, but after that she would be able to enjoy the sensation of bringing another corrupted life into this world as her tentacles continued to wrap around her body. Until then however her glowing purple eyes looked around as the tendrils in her nostrils and ears wiggled in search, the eldritch creature needed to find a new vessel...
