Chapter 2

Laura was dragging the dead weight of her friend Melina down the midway of Firefly Mountain Park. It wasn't the first time she had helped her friend, but before she hadn't been completely paralyzed. Looking over to Kirdallirth she couldn't help but be impressed as she seemingly effortlessly carried both Issac and Aidan.

Is it just innate strength, or is it the extra set of arms? Laura wondered as they reached the Haunted Mine attraction.

“Here we are." Kirdallirth pushed open the door with her foot.

“This is your, um, lair?" Laura was unsure as she followed behind the broodmother.

Kirdallirth giggled. “I know it seems like a strange choice, but it is a fully enclosed area and there is a great deal of open space in here. Not to mention, my own ascendance happened inside this ride.

“I guess it could have been worse, it could have happened on the bumper car ride."

The broodmother chuckled as she laid down Aidan on a curving lounge of a bench she had constructed earlier. “You can place your friend on one of the benches; I made them for this very purpose. She should be quite comfortable there for her conversion."

Laura lifted Melina up into position but paused before laying her down. “It won't hurt her, will it?"

Kirdallirth 's antenna dropped slightly and she shook her head. “Pain is not the Vespera way, not even when defending ourselves. My stingers instantly numb and block any pain when I use them." She gave her secondary abdomen a slight shake for emphasis. The conversion is…intense but pleasurable. And the more willing the person, the better the transition to a member of the hive will be."

“That still sounds a little scary." Laura replied as she laid Melina down as gently as she could.

“All change is scary, yet you are still here. I can tell there is more than just the fear of my stinger that is keeping you here."

Laura looked away. She was right. There was something so enticing about all of this, even as a part of her mind screamed she was trapped in an alien invasion, another wanted to see the conversion happen.

“We will start with your friend Melina." Kirdallirth said as she reached down and gently brushed the young woman's hair out of her face. “Relax, this won't hurt. Soon you will be a part of something bigger and help me to save this world."

Kirdallirth moved lower on the woman's body and carefully unfastened her belt and opened up the fly of her jeans. She then gently slid them down to her sneakers. After slipping off Melina's sneakers she fully removed the jeans and laid them softly on a crate.

“Why are you taking off her pants?"

“I need access to implant an unfertilized egg into her. Once it is nestled inside her body it will trigger the conversion into a nymph, a partially mature member of this hive. Oh, I see that look on your face. There will be no chest bursting like in that movie. It is an unfertilized egg, it will not hatch into a Vespera larva, not that we would ever do such a thing if it were fertilized. Instead, the potential will be absorbed by her body, making her one of us. But first I need to relax her a bit."

She leaned back over Melina and a small slit along her neck opened. The room was suddenly filled with a rather pleasant scent. To Laura, it smelled somewhere between fresh flowers and candy. Although the sweet smell calmed her emotions, she noticed another effect on her body. With Melina receiving the brunt of the pheromone, she was much more affected. She let out a long moan as the paralyzation seemed to be fading. Her white cotton panties showed a moist spot as her arousal grew.

Kirdallirth smiled as she peeled the panties down and off Melina's legs. She gently rubbed and caressed the woman's sex, drawing more moans and twitches from her guest. Laura wasn't sure if the pheromones were canceling out the paralyzing venom or it was just wearing off, but either way her friend was moving sluggishly now on the inclined shelf.

“Please I- Uhhh!" Melina arched her back as she felt Kirdallirth's smooth finger slip easily inside her.

“Just lay back and enjoy. You will make a beautiful worker for the hive."

Kirdallirth's finger moved in a circular motion, gently stretching the woman's pussy wider. She used her lower two arms to rub and tease her lower body. Laura was getting more turned on by the moment, but all she could do was stare. Kirdallirth climbed up in between Melina's legs and began to extend her ovipositor. Laura couldn't help but think of the various exotic sex toys she had browsed for on the internet when she looked at the organ. Kirdallirth spread Melina's legs wide with her upper hands, while her lower arms guided the ovipositor into the wet and ready hole.

Melina let out a cry and a moan as a mini orgasm shot through her body from the penetration alone. Kirdallirth slowly pressed into the woman, cooing softly. She slid in deep, but not completely, not that she could with how long she was. Although Kirdallirth wasn't thrusting in and out like a man would, she was obviously enjoying herself from what Laura could see. Melina was moaning loudly, lost in the sensations that were amplified by the pheromones. Kirdallirth tensed and let out a low groan. Laura noticed a bulge at the base of the ovipositor. The bulge slid down the organ and into Melina's body. The woman cried out as a second more powerful orgasm wracked her body.

Melina was left panting for air as Kirdallirth slowly withdrew from the woman. She gripped the edge of the bench tightly as something started to happen. Laura gasped when she saw something ripple beneath her friend's skin. Melina let out a low moan and curled up into a ball, hugging herself tightly.

“Wha-what's happening…I feel so…" She trailed off into another moan.

Along Melina's arms and legs the skin started to change. It grew stiffer and formed into plates of hard material with a distinctly pink color. The growing plates continued up under Melina's shirt from the look of things. Her already tight shirt was starting to stretch and rip. Kirdallirth placed her hand gently on Melina's back and made a soft comforting sound.

“Just relax, let the change come."

Her soft words and gentle touch did seem to calm the woman slightly. Kirdallirth used her own claws to slice open the back of Melina's shirt. Along her spine her skin thickened and became a series of pink chitinous plates. Laura watched as Melina's skin continued to harden and change color, slowly encasing her in a pink carapace. It was fascinating to her, watching the vulnerable skin become a protective and beautiful shell.

Melina let out another loud gasp as her antenna unfurled. She grew silent as a flood of sensory data flooded her rapidly adapting mind. Laura saw her expression change from shock to a soft comforting smile.

“Welcome to the hive, Melina, You are almost done, just a few more changes."

She nodded back with her eyes closed. Melina's carapace finished forming, all the way to the tips of her fingers and toes, that now ended in almost claw-like tips. Melina sat up on the bench and opened her eyes. The multifaceted electric blue eyes glittered like gems as she took in her surroundings.

“Melina?" Laura said softly, taking a step towards her friend.

“Laura," she smiled, “I shouldn't have run, you were smart not to."

“R-really?"

“Words can't describe how this feels." she noticed the clothing still clinging to her carapace and effortlessly tore it off.

The carapace did more than just cover her old form, it had reshaped it to a degree. Melina still had a vaguely hourglass shape with her hips and chest, but didn't have defined breasts anymore. The pink carapace was not a solid color, but had gentle variations in shade. There was a tightly closed slit in between Melina's legs, but Laura could tell no further details about her sex.

“Not only am I beautiful," she ran her hands down over her chest plate, "but I can feel the Mother." Melina beamed over to Kirdallirth. “She is with me, I'm not alone, I'll never be alone again."

“No, you won't." Kirdallirth smiled back, “And it will only feel better the more members our hive has."

Melina hopped off of the bench and embraced her friend tightly. Laura let out a gasp at the vice grip she found herself in.

“Careful! I'm still squishy!" She warned her over enthusiastic friend.

“Oops, sorry." Melina said, instantly relaxing her grip. “But you're still going to join us, right?"

Laura ran her hand softly over the smooth pink carapace. “I think so."

“Good, because I wasn't going to let you leave anyway." Melina giggled.

“Can I make a request?" Laura said, addressing the broodmother.

Kirdallirth inclined her head slightly “Yes?"

“Can you control what color my, ah, carapace would be?"

“I can influence it, yes. What color are you interested in?"

“Black" Melina answered for her. “What? Everyone knows it's your favorite color."

Kirdallirth made a sound somewhere between clicking her tongue and a cricket chirp. “I know you've shared a lot about your friends through the group link, Melina. However, we should let hive members still speak for themselves."

“Sorry, Mother."

“Don't worry about it, it's not a secret, like you said." Laura said with a slight smile. “Do you need a moment to recover or…"

“I have enough eggs for you and your other two friends. If you are ready, we can proceed."

“Right, ready…"

Laura did know what she was doing but couldn't help being nervous. After Melina let her go, she started to undress. She felt a chill as she pulled her shirt over her head, even though it was rather comfortable in the ride enclosure. Feeling hungry after her conversion, Melina snacked on her ruined t-shirt. Laura blinked at the action then looked down at the shirt in her hands. She realized she would probably be doing the same thing soon enough.

Well, I'm not going to need clothes anymore, right? Laura thought as she slid her pants down to the ground.

She looked over towards the boys, but realized after Melina why she should feel embarrassed? Besides, it would be their turn soon enough. Laura reached behind her back and unhooked her bra before pushing down her slightly damp panties. She stacked the clothes in a neat pile before climbing up onto the bench. Laura wasn't sure if it was still warm from Melina or it was just property of the material.

She took a deep breath before turning towards Kirdallirth. “Ok, let's do this."

Kirdallirth smiled and slowly ran all four of her hands down over Laura's body, letting out a soft melodic coo. This woman didn't need any pheromones to relax, or at least not any more. She spread Laura's legs with her lower arms as her upper arms caressed Laura's already moist slit before slipping a finger in.

Reflexively, Laura bit her lip to stifle her moan. Melina giggled and came over on the other side of the lounge.

“No need to hold back, not after watching me." She reached out with a pink finger and gently booped Laura's nose before leaning down to kiss her friend.

Laura was expecting the attention of the broodmother, not her friend and was more than a little surprised. However she didn't pull away and returned the soft kiss.

Kirdallirth smiled. “When it comes to the Hive the old saying, many hands lighten the load, applies to all things."

Laura moaned into Melina's mouth as the broodmother slowly worked her fingers inside her pussy. She was squirming a bit, but making no move to pull away from either of them. Knowing the woman was ready, Kirdallirth moved into position over her. Laura broke the kiss with Melina and reached up for the brood mother, pulling her close as the ovipositor pushed inside.

“Oh fuck!" she cried out as the alien organ spread her wide.

As big as it was, it felt amazing as it slipped deeper into her body. Laura spread her legs as wide as she could and pulled Kirdallirth wanting more of it inside of her. Even when a climax wracked her body, Laura still wanted more. Kirdallirth tensed up and started to push out an egg. Laura held on tight as she felt the egg move down the ovipositor into her body. With a final push from the broodmother, the egg was implanted into the willing human.

Pure euphoria washed over Laura. Her entire body tingled with pleasure and excitement. She gasped for breath as she felt the egg inside her pulsing, slowly syncing up to her heartbeat. Although she knew what was coming next, Laura was still not fully prepared. Deep inside her body she could feel the egg melting away, merging with her.

She looked down at her body and could already see the change beginning with her skin, first growing tough and leathery before starting to harden completely. As it did so her skin shifted first to a pale gray then black. Laura watched with fascination as it spread over her body, the pale skin giving way to hard black plates.

Laura felt a pressure coming from the top of her forehead. She closed her eyes tightly as her antenna grew and filled her rapidly adapting mind with new stimuli. Along with the increased sensory load, Laura felt something more, a warm welcoming presence in the back of her mind. It grew and she could hear a pair of voices, comforting and encouraging her. The group link was far more than communication, it was a sense of love and companionship. Kirdallirth, no Mother and Melina were a part of her now, and she was a part of them.

The newest hive member slowly sat up. Opening her now multifaceted purple eyes was like seeing the world for the first time. Laura almost gasped at how much she had been denied with her human eyes and senses.

Melina hugged her again, although this time her body could handle it. “Welcome to the hive." she said in a soft voice.

Laura hugged her back and sighed. “It's good to be home."

“Oh! Look at you! You're bigger than me, I used to be taller than you."

“Hmm?" Laura pulled away from the embrace and hopped down to the ground.

She inspected her body as best as she could without a mirror. Much like her friend, her body had been molded into the form of a Vespera nymph. Laura was taller than Melina, but she was also just larger in general. Her body and limbs were heavier and thicker, though still sleek.

“You are both part of the group link." Kirdallirth reminded them.

They dropped their antenna slightly in embarrassment before looking to the link for more information on the Vespera for themselves.

“I'm a hive guardian? I thought you said I would be a worker." Laura said after a moment.

“Technically you're still a worker, just a different variant from me." Melina said pointing to her chest.

“Our hive is so small, and the nearby human population will not be as accepting as you, I think. Their weapons are more than capable of harming us, and we all know they will try to do so. We needed some protection. Given your willingness to join the hive, it seemed fitting to make you a guardian."

“I don't even really want to sting anyone, not that I have a stinger yet as a nymph, but you're right. Not everyone will listen to reason. I'll do whatever it takes to protect you and the hive, Mother."

A soft groan came from where the boys were lying. All three of the Vespera twitched their antenna and turned. It seemed that Issac, the first one stung, was recovering from the effects. He was shifting slightly on his lounge, groaning as the feeling faded back into his body.

“Issac…" Laura said softly as she hurried over to his side. “Don't freak out."

“Too late. I, ah, already did while I was lying here." He paused to cough. “ I could still hear and see everything." He blushed softly.

“You're not going to make Mother sting you again, are you?" Melina asked softly.

“I don't think you'd need that to stop me from running right now." He smirked slightly. “Are you both really happy with what you are now? It's not some kind of brainwashing, is it?"

“No, it's nothing like that." Laura shook her head. “It's more like…"

“It's like having your mind expanded." Melina filled in. “There is so much to take in, sight's smells, hell, I can listen to radio broadcasts with just my brain now." She twitched her antenna for emphasis.

“Your mind will have to change as much as the rest of your body in becoming a Vespera," Kirdallirth spoke up, “but you can still recognize your friends after their conversion, can't you?"

“Yeah, I see what you're saying." Issac took a deep breath, “I'm still a little scared, but I'm not going to fight you."

“Good." Kirdallirth said as she leaned over him. “Breathe deep and relax." She said in a soft melodic voice before releasing new pheromones into the air.

It had no effect on the other two Vespera, but instantly had an obvious effect on Issac. The tension eased out of his body and he felt relaxed as the last of the paralyzing venom faded away. Issac felt a little high and more than a little horny. He offered no resistance as Laura and Melina sliced his clothes gently off his body. Now laying naked on the bench, Issac moaned softly as his cock went stiffer than it ever had before.

“Wow, I had no idea he was packing so much." Melina said in a whisper. Laura snapped her eyes to her hivemate with a questioning look. “What? Just because I'm not human anymore doesn't mean I won't notice."

Issac for his part started to laugh. Melina giggled a bit as well before leaning down for a kiss. If Laura could still roll her eyes, she would have. The black Vespera sighed before slowly running her hands along Issac's bare skin. Laura wondered idly what his carapace would look like before switching positions with Melina. She was surprised by the passion Issac showed as he kissed her, reaching up to pull her closer.

Kirdallirth seemed pleased by the progress. She reached down and cupped Issac's balls gently, making him moan and his cock twitch.

“Hmm, these are full of human seed. We'll need to drain them before we replace it with Vespera seed, but I don't think our friend here will mind." She wrapped her hand around the shaft and started to pump.

In his current state, It didn't take Issac long before his body tensed and he fired off his load. His cock, however, remained at full mast. Kirdallirth spread his legs and lifted them slightly. After moistening a finger in her mouth she used it to tease Issac's tightly puckered hole. Unsurprisingly, the young man jumped with surprise. He would have fallen off the bench if not for Laura and Melina keeping him safe.

“Maybe he needs another hit." Laura said softly.

“I think he will be fine, once he gets used to it." Kirdallirth replied as she continued to tease his outer ring.

Issac did seem to become more relaxed as he eased into it. He did tense a little as Kirdallirth's finger finally slipped inside, but his loud moan showed he was more than enjoying it. Issac was holding tightly onto both of the workers as the broodmother worked to slowly stretch his hole wider. He cried out again as he fired off another, much reduced load.

“Good, that should be most of it." Kirdallirth chuckled as she climbed up on the bench.

Laura and Melina followed the wordless instructions and shifted Issac around and up on his knees. There was no resistance from the young man as they did so. Even in his cloud of biochemically enhanced lust, Issac had already figured out what was going to happen, and he was ready for it. He clenched his fists and moaned as Kirdallirth pushed her ovipositor into him slowly. Underneath his body his cock fired off again, but was little more than a dribble at this point. Issac probably would have collapsed forward if it wasn't for Laura and Melina helping to support his body. As the ovipositor sunk in deeper he could feel his entire body twitching in anticipation of the egg. It was all he could focus on at this point. Issac realized it must be coming when he felt all four of Kirdallirth's hands tighten around his waist.

His eyes went wide and he could hardly breathe as the egg was forced into his body. It forced one final orgasm out of Issac before he nearly fainted. After pulling out, Kirdallirth helped the other two Vespera to lay him back down. Issac was panting hard with his eyes closed tightly. His hands were clenched over his abdomen, where he could feel the egg becoming a part of him with every beat of his heart. He let out a low groan as he felt something stirring in his loins once again.

It was different than arousal, something was actually changing. There was a strange sensation inside his sack as his testicles were pulled into his body. His shaft, which had finally relaxed, grew stiff once again. The skin became thicker, leathery and started to alter shape, becoming less human and far more alien shaped with bumps and ridges, not to mention significantly larger. The color darkened then shifted to a bluish gradient, light at the tip and darker at the base.

Spreading out from his crotch, the changes continued. His skin grew thicker and hardened taking on a shiny blue color as his carapace continued to encase his body. As his body shifted more into a Vespera, Laura noticed his frame was smaller than hers or Melina's. Also his carapace had more of an iridescent shine to it.

Oh,right! He's becoming a drone. They are smaller and brighter than workers. I know he's still a male, but he looks almost beautiful.

Covered head to toe in a new shiny carapace, the lithe drone groaned slightly as a pair of long blue antennae grew out from his head. With that, a new spark of warmth entered the group link. Laura smiled at first as she felt her friend join them fully as a hivemate, but then there was a shock of revelation as long hidden feelings were made known to her.

“Issac? Why didn't you say something to me?" She said in a soft whisper as she ran a finger gently over his blue blushing cheek.

“About having a crush on you? I was scared to say anything, scared you wouldn't want to hang out or see me if the feeling wasn't returned."

“But I would have, we could have been together all this time."

“It was easier to become a Vespera than confess my feelings. But it doesn't matter now, we are together, we all are." he smiled with his red eyes shining brightly.

“He's right, we are all together, more than friends or lovers." Melina pulled both of them into a hug.

They helped Issac down onto his feet. By this time his cock had slipped back into his body, leaving a similar slit between his legs as the two workers. Issac was smaller and lighter than them both, but Laura knew he was far stronger even as a nymph than he had been as a human.

“Speaking of lovers…" Melina said as her eyes moved to where Aidan was laying.

The last member of their group was starting to shift slightly as the feeling and control returned to his body. Aidan's eyes darted around between Kirdallirth and the three newest members of her hive. People that used to be his friends, when they were still human.

“Laura!" Aidan groaned as he tried to sit up. “This is all your fault, you sold us out to the bugs!"

“That's not true!" Laura snapped back, honestly hurt by the accusation.

“She did no such thing," Kirdallirth interjected, “I already stung the rest of you before I spoke with her. She just opted to accompany me. No matter her answer she would have joined our hive."

“Don't you hear that? How can you all be ok with what she did to you?"

“Aidan," Melina stepped towards him as she pleaded, “listen to me. I was scared too, but you don't have to be. Just join us and we can all be happy again as a hive. Don't fight Mother, embrace her."

“This is insane! Did that fucking egg hatch and eat your brain or something?"

“How can you say that?" Issac shot back. “I thought you loved Melina!"

“You've all been brainwashed by that alien bug! She's not your mother! Just wake up and help me escape!"

“They won't betray their hive." Kirdallirth shook her head slowly. “They now all share a bond deeper and stronger than anything you could even imagine. You will understand once you join your friends."

“No!" Aidan rolled off the bench, crashing onto the floor.

Melina winced. “Oh baby, no! You'll hurt yourself!" Despite her former boyfriend's harsh words, she still cared for him.

Aidan didn't respond as he got up on his feet and limped towards the door. There was a blur of movement and in a blink Laura rushed past him and blocked the exit.

“Aidan, come on, don't be stupid," Laura crossed her arms over her chest, “you know you can't escape, just relax and join us."

“Get out of my way! I'm not going to go down without a fight like you did. You always liked bugs, didn't you? Well you might be happy as a bug woman, but It's not for me."

“That's what I thought." Issac said as he grabbed Aidan from behind. “But then I watched Melina and Laura, and I actually listened to them when they spoke to me."

Aidan couldn't believe how strong Issac had become, especially when he was the smallest of the Vespera.

“Please baby, I don't want Mother to sting you, again. Just relax before you hurt yourself." Melina pleaded.

“Enough, you all tried to be reasonable." Kirdallirth was done with Aidan's foolishness. “Unfortunately I'm afraid most of our planet will be like your friend here. However, I am more than willing to drag everyone kicking and screaming to bring the world safety, peace, and happiness."

Kirdallirth took Aidan from Issac and carried him back kicking and screaming towards the bench. Laura, Melina, and Issac watched, a little disappointed that they couldn't get their friend to corporate.

“Stop! I want to be a human, not a bug!"

“Trust me, you don't." Kirdallirth held him up to face him eye to eye. “And really, it is quite insulting that you keep calling us bugs."

Before giving him a chance to respond, she released a cloud of pheromones his way. Aidan tried to hold his breath, but it was useless. He coughed and sputtered, but more than enough got in to start affecting him. As he tried to focus through the cloud of lust and arousal in his mind, Aidan found himself bent over the bench. Holding him down with one set of arms Kirdallirth tore open the back of his jeans with the other set. Aidan cried out, expecting the broodmother to simply have her way with him.

Instead, Kirdallirth reached around and started to stroke his already half-hard cock. Aidan gasped and his body quickly responded to the stimulation. Under the effects of the pheromones, it felt far more intense than usual and before long he was firing off his load.

“Mmm. looks like you are already a good producer of seed. You will make an excellent drone then." Kirdallirth chuckled.

“Please…"

Kirdallirth leaned over and whispered into his ear. “If you stop fighting me, you will enjoy it more."

“Aidan," Melina was now standing in front of him, “listen to her." She placed her pink hands gently on his cheeks and pulled him into a kiss.

It felt strange yet familiar as his lips pressed up against Melina's. Aidan closed his eyes, he couldn't focus on anything other than how good both Vespera felt touching his body. He tensed and moaned slightly into Melina's mouth when Kirdallirth started to tease his hole before slipping a finger in. Aidan shuddered as the new sensation shot up his spine. He tried to hold back but came again, adding to the pool of cum under his cock.

Aidan tried to pull away. “Please I…" his lips brushed against Melina's as he tried to talk.

“Shhh, just enjoy it and join us…" She whispered back before pulling him back into the kiss.

He let out a final muffled protest before returning the kiss. He felt Kirdallirth's finger pull out and what he knew was her ovipositor pressing up against his rear. He gripped onto Melina tightly, and she held him back as the broodmother pressed in. He came again as Kirdallirth sank in deeply. He shivered as the broodmother gently ran her fingers over his back. Aidan was scared of what was going to happen, but at the same time, lost in the bliss of pleasure.

He broke the kiss with a huge gasp as he felt the bulge of the egg pressing up against cheeks. Melina held his head gently and locked her blue multifaceted eyes with his. As alien as her eyes now were, Aidan still felt the compassion she had for him. He continued to gasp and moan as the egg was implanted into his body. Aidan could feel the warm object lodged tightly inside his body, and it was oddly comforting. He panted and groaned as his cock let out a final dribble of cum, his balls now fully spent.

Aidan was almost on the verge of passing out, but then felt a rush of energy flow through his body as the egg was absorbed into his body. His skin tingled all over, and his heart was beating fast in his chest. Just like with Issac, the change began with his cock and balls. It felt strangely good as his balls were pulled in and moved to their new protected position inside his body. The sensation of his shaft growing and shifting shape was odd. Aidan reached down to feel the bumps and ridges it now sported as well as the change in texture.

Up along his spine his skin changed into a series of interlocking plates that pressed up against his shirt. He felt uncomfortable in his shirt and tried to wriggle out of it with little success. Melina smiled and helped him, slicing through the material easily. She exposed his growing iridescent red carapace to the rest of the hive. Aidan held on tightly to Melina as more of his skin was shifted into shiny red hard carapace.

His mind was overwhelmed with the sensations of his new body and closed his eyes tightly. It was then that his antenna started to grow out from his head, bringing in even more stimuli into his overloaded brain. In the midst of the confusion he felt it for the first time. The presence of his friends and Kirdallirth inside the group link. The feeling of warmth and acceptance washed over his psyche.

It was enough to move him to tears, or at least it would if he could still cry. He opened his eyes, blinking several times with his new vision granted him by his green multifaceted eyes. Melina was there smiling widely.

“Welcome." She said softly.

He hugged her tightly. “God! I'm so sorry…"

“Shh, it's ok. You're with us now, that's what matters." She whispered back.

He soon felt Laura and Issac holding him as well, welcoming him silently to the hive.

Kirdallirth sighed softly and sat down. She had a contented smile on her face. Finally, she was a broodmother with a brood. Tiny as it was, she was no longer alone. The four newly converted Vespera nymph's felt her silent request and gathered in a hug with her.

“I wasn't expecting to start growing my hive so soon. As you can see, I barely had time to build anything before you four got here."

“We can take over the building for you now." Laura said with a smile. “You probably need rest after all of this."

“More so I need food. In fact, we all do. I want you all to gather whatever you can find for us to eat. After that, we can continue to build the hive structures." She nodded to the heavy key ring she had set aside.

Melina picked it up and paused for a moment. “Mother, you have the keys for everything in the park, right?"

“Yes, though I doubt you'll find much we can process on the rides themselves, at least at this point in our development."

“Of course, but there is something I was wondering if we could do."

***

The secluded quiet of Firefly Mountain Park was replaced with the classic sounds of the antique carousel as it slowly turned. Melina was smiling on top of a wooden horse. For the first time since it's closing, she was able to ride the carousel once more. But what made it truly special was having her friends turned hivemates along with her for the ride. All four of the Vespera nymphs were smiling, sharing in each other's joy as they bobbed up and down on the horses. At the control panel Kirdallirth smiled as she watched her first batch of children spin by.

A good start on the hive, and a fitting end of the night in an amusement park. Kirdallirth thought with a soft smile.
