"I never thought I'd be glad to see this attached..." Ruby said with relief as she looked at Ryan's dick.

"I'm alive... how am I alive..." Ester questioned as she assured this was real.

"What have I done..." Tammy woke up sobbing before she noticed everyone was fine. "You're all alive... thank god. I thought that person made me... made me..." she couldn't finish that sentence as she recalled the horrors she inflicted upon them.

"So did that actually happen?" Ryan asked as he looked around the room as everyone else woke up. He reached to his phone on the night stand and saw that it was the thirteenth of October. "I guess it did..." He rubbed his head as he got out of bed, not caring he was naked, in the last two days they had all seen enough of each others parts. He entered the tiny bathroom and went to the toilet.

He came out a short time later, with the girls, partially dressed, waiting to use it as well. Tammy eyed off her boobs and gave a judgmental stare but didn't say anything as she entered the bathroom next. Ryan went to the suit case and pulled out a pair of Ester's panties and one of Tammy's bras and put on the underwear. Next he found a shirt and pants to wear. "I'm going out to get breakfast," Ryan said as he put Ruby's shoes on.

"Let's go together," Ester suggested as she got fully dressed. "We should also talk about these weird things that have been happening too." Tammy and Ruby got ready and the four of them left the hotel room.

"Hello dearies..." an older woman, dressed in what could best be described as rags, said as she walked past them and headed back to her room.

Ruby looked into the woman's eyes and got a bad feeling. "Toads..." Ruby muttered under her breath.

The lady eyed them curiously as she unlocked the key to her room. "You four look a little mixed up," she commented as they began to walk off in the other direction. They all paused. "Why don't you come join me in my room and I'll get you all sorted out."

"I don't think we can trust her... she's giving me a bad vibe. I swear I've seen this lady before," Ruby whispered to Tammy as they wordlessly followed.

"She's odd I'll give you that but she seemed to noticed our swaps and is able to help out. I don't know about you but I'd rather have my old body back." Tammy ignored Ruby's warning and followed Ryan and Ester into the old lady's room.

Ruby had little choice now as she was the only one who hadn't followed the old lady and if she could fix them up, she wasn't going to be able to proceed without her. Ruby cursed as she entered the room.

"Swap gremlins... pretty dangerous creatures. Lucky for you it seems like you only encountered a few loose ones. In a pack they are nasty and vicious creatures and would've carried you back to their dimension, where you would've stayed, forced to endure their twisted games for eternity." The woman had Ryan up on the bed and had somehow taken his arms off. "Strange that you encountered them though. Sure they usually cross into this realm in October but it's usually at a site that already has a reality tear... Open your mouth dearie." She continued to chat as she examined Ryan's body. Ryan complied and the woman grabbed some tongs and pulled out Ryan's tongue. Se then pulled off his lips, leaving him without a mouth. "So anything else strange happen to you this month? I'm just trying to figure out how they got into our realm."

"lgpmh" Ryan tried to explain what he knew but without a tongue or mouth he could only wake weird and soft noises.

"What my boyfriend was probably trying to say is we don't remember anything before the tenth. There was a pig out our house and last night we were possessed and some of us were murdered..."

"Ah I see..." The woman said as she pulled Ryan's eyes out of his sockets, which somehow got rid of them completely as well as his eyebrows. "Memory loss is a sign you saw something you shouldn't have," she turned to face Ruby. "It also explains how the gremlins got into your home, you saw across the veil into a deep and terrifying realm not meant for mortals." She pulled Ryan's head off his neck and took off his nose, ears and hair. She then traced her finger around the top of his skull and opened the top of his head, pulling out his brain. She sat all the parts from Ryan's head across a small table. "As for the possession and murders last night and seeing as you're fine now, it would appear you are playing Samantha's game."

"That's the second time we've heard mention of this game," Tammy said as she sat down on the bed and let the old lady pull apart her head as well. This time she removed the head first.

"Then you must be playing," the lady confirmed as she removed part's from Tammy's head so she could no longer respond. "It's probably better you don't remember the first nine days of this month. The game can be a little intense as you would've discovered last night." She finished disassembling Tammy, also removing her brain and began work on Ester.

Ruby watched, fascinated as the old lady was able to take their heads apart in such a fashion. She couldn't believe the others were so willing to let a stranger do this to them though, especially since she had removed Ryan and Tammy's brains, though Esters was still inside her head. "Your turn," the old lady gestured for Ruby to sit, however Ruby didn't comply. "What's wrong dearie... too afraid?" She looked over to the other three disassembled heads. "Are you concerned I'm going to keep you all like that?" She gave a sinister smirk. "Or is it because you don't fully want to go back to normal?" the old lady approached Ruby.

"I.. ah.. I" Ruby stumbled for words.

"Admit it, you like that part. You don't want to but you do... in fact you enjoyed every moment of being possessed... the sex you had... even though you weren't in control it felt right didn't it?" Blood rushed to Ruby's groin as she blushed at the accusation. The old lady went to grab Ruby's hand but she recoiled. "Oh... it's not that. Well not only that..." the old lady observed. "You're afraid of me aren't you dearie... afraid of what I might do."

"I saw what you did... you turned us into toads." Ruby doesn't know where this was coming from but she knew it was the truth.

"So you've retained some of your experiences from the other side..." the old lady didn't deny Ruby's vision. "Okay so I might turn you and your sisters and your friend into toads. I'm not doing that now though, at the moment I'm restoring you to your proper bodies. You can choose to stay as you are and I promise you will not become a toad, though if you do that, they'll stay as they are." They lady pointed at the table. "You don't want me to keep them like that do you?" Ruby shook her head and sat down on the bed. "That's what I thought," the lady smiled as she pulled off Ruby's head.


Ryan wanted to trust the old lady when she said she could restore them and the fact she was able to take them apart was a comfort in that promise. Sure enough when he woke up after having his brain removed, he was in his male body again and for a moment he was thankful. That moment disappeared though when the lady shot some strange energy at him and he was turned into a toad, not just him either, the girls were as well. Now they were stuck in separate terrariums at the mercy of the witch who saved them.

"Feeling hungry?" the old lady tapped on the glass to Ryan's cage. "Don't worry I got you something juicy to eat, she should be here any second now." After she had said that there was a knock on the door and Ryan saw the hotel clerk standing there.

"You wanted to see me Esme?" the clerk asked as she entered the room. Straight away her attention was draw to the toads. "I thought I made it very clear... urk..." the clerk acted like she was about to throw up. "No... pets... urk..." the lady bent over trying to catch her breath. "allowed.. urk!" Ryan watched as the clerk's mouth open wider than what should've been possible as she somehow threw up her stomach. It was covered in some kind of slime and was detached from both ends. The clerk just looked at it in disbelief as the old lady picked it up, causing it to shrink in her hands. She then placed it in Ryan's cage.

Ryan looked at the shrunken stomach for a few minutes as the smell was enticing. He didn't want to eat it but his animal instincts took over as his large tongue grabbed the poor woman's stomach and he pulled it into his mouth and began to crunch on it. The worst part is it tasted nice.

"What have you done to me..." the clerk managed to gain her breath back, just in time to see Ryan eat her stomach.

"What do you mean? Was that not obvious?" Esme remarked as she pat the clerk on the back.

The clerk grabbed Esme's sleeve, violently, and was about to say something when she went into a large coughing fit. It kept going and going as the clerk was on her hands and knees trying to get it to stop. It finally did when she coughed her lungs up. Once again Esme shrunk them and placed one each in the cages of the other toads. Like Ryan they tried to resist but the organs were too good a meal to pass up.

The clerk managed to get back on her knees and grabbed Esme's skirt. She was crying as she tried to beg the witch to stop or why she was doing this to her but the clerk's voice was silent as she wasn't able to draw in the air to talk. Esme put a hand on her head and smiled as the clerk shrunk down to the size of a cockroach. She picked up the poor unfortunate woman and placed her in Ruby's terrarium. The clerk tried to scream as Ruby's instincts took over and she ate the unfortunate person.

Esme smiled wickedly at her toads as they did what she wanted them to. "You're all going to make fine ingredients for my potions. I just need to fatten you all up some more... hekekeke" she cackled. A knock on the door interrupted Esme's gloating and she looked at it annoyed. She ignored it at first but the door knocked again with a more aggressive knock. "That's it, I don't care who you are but you're also getting fed to my..." Esme ranted to herself more than anything as she answered the door to see a young blonde hair woman in a witch costume standing there. "Toads?" she finished her rant though was caught be surprise at who answered the door. "Samantha, what brings you here?"

"Oh cut the crap, Esme," Samantha pushed pasted the younger witch. "You have four of my toys. I want them back." Samantha surveyed the small room. "Still using potions and tools... you young witches are all the same. No real power. I could easily turn you into a fly if I wished."

"Hey I don't always need tools. Your 'toys' were mixed up by swap gremlins I fixed them by hand, then I was able to use hand magic to turn them into animals as well as the clerk they just ate."

"Good for you," Samantha clapped sarcastically. "You no longer need wands and rituals for basic spells. Mind you the swap gremlin thing isn't someone to boast about, they leave a magic residue, a novice could've done that, even one of the mortals I've granted power to could've done it."

"That reminds me..." Esme walked between Samantha and her toads. "You chastise me for being young and weak yet because of your game these mortals somehow let swap gremlins into this realm, those things are extremely dangerous even for a witch as old and powerful as you, even if we can reverse the damage. The game itself is reckless, giving mortals powers, not to mention the random chaos field up around the city. You dare, speak down to me just because you are older... mphmm... mphmm.."

"That's better..." Samantha smiled as removed Esme's tongue and sealed her mouth shut. She tilted her head back as she held the tongue in her hand. Samantha lowered it into her mouth and swallowed. "That'll keep you quiet for a decade or so," Samantha taunted as she pushed past the mouthless old lady. "Let this be a lesson to you Esme, don't steal my things." Samantha released the toads out of the terrariums. "I've arranged for the four of you to stay at a much nicer hotel than this old piece of crap. But first you will be spending the rest of the day as toads in the wild." Samantha picked up Tammy and threw her north, sending her to the opposite side of the city. She grabbed Ester and threw her East and then she threw Ruby south. Finally she picked up Ryan and aimed west. "Oh before I go," she turned her attention back to Esme for a second. "If you want to redeem yourself, drop by tomorrow. I have a problem I need dealt with." Samantha threw Ryan.
