The woman seemed so beautiful and charming when I first laid eyes on her. Perhaps that was why she began to change to mirror the beauty of the rose?

Her skin grew a rich and vibrant green, tough and shining, the warmth of her human skin cooling as it changed. She gasped and moaned, clearly delighting in the feelings of her body transforming, fingers clutching to pull her clothes off even as thorns began to emerge from her body, pushing through and tearing her clothes to shreds, leaving her bare and beautiful. 

I stood paralysed for a moment, captivated by her strange allure, even as the changes rippled across her body. Fingers flattening slightly, the edges spreading out to form the delicate edges of a leaf, the woman holding her arm ahead as she, too, was stunned by the change. Her feet next, toes spilling out, spreading, so white and pale compared to the rest of her as roots searched for water. 

Last, her head, her back arching as the sensations rolling through her body. Her face grew ever more radiant and beautiful, eyes growing wide and bright. Her hair shone a deep green, growing longer yet curling around itself, a bud appearing in each before quickly blossoming into a beautiful rose, rich pink standing out against the green. 

Her changes complete, she turned to look at me, her face at once beautiful and terrifying. Lips, rich and red, parting slightly as she smiled, revealing the sharp teeth inside. A predator's smile. 

Her gaze transfixed, a look of hunger and longing on her face, I had to flee - staggering back into the street, now expecting her to be so fast. 

In a moment, she was upon me, pushing me down on the cold, rough ground. Her face loomed above mine, that same look of longing and... curiosity? She swayed slightly, looking this way and that, her leafy fingers pressing and probing my face. 

"Such interesting features..." her voice was warm and gentle, at odds with the teeth that had captured my attention, one of her fingers tracing down my nose. "I'm going to have to remember them, after you change."

I shuddered, half of me panicking, the other giddy with excitement and anticipation. Was she going to make me like her?

She shifted slightly, thorns pressing into my skin, covering my eyes with her hands, blocking everything out but the sound of her voice, gentle and reassuring. 

"There, relax, let the changes flow over you..." I couldn't make much sense of what was happening, trying desperately to cling onto anything I could feel. The world grew large around me, my body shrinking, crumpling. Limbs and torso all became a single mass, flowing and merging together. Gradually, I could feel myself splitting apart, my body now merely coils of tubing. Grim realisation dawned, a surge of panic through my inhuman body, she was making me into a hose...

I heard mocking laughter, her voice full of pleasure and satisfaction. "What, you thought I was going to turn you into someone like me? Besides, a girl's got to stay watered!" 

Leafy fingers pressed around my face, squashing my features flat, erasing any remaining trace of humanity. My head grew hollow, neck growing thick and long before a trigger emerged, my face flattening as my mouth was forced open, freezing into a circle. 

The plant girl laughed again, standing up, one leafy hand wrapped around what had once been my neck. Somehow, I could still see and hear, watching as she picked up the other end of me, forcefully pushing me onto a tap. A moment later, and water rushed through the length of my body, chilling me, pressure building up at the base of my neck. She twisted my face around, my water-filled body thrashing slightly around as she did, aiming me at her body... and squeezing. Relief, almost pleasure, shuddered through my body as the water crashed into my head, spraying out of my face and onto her body. Droplets, cascading down her skin, sparkled in the sunlight... 

I could get used to this, I thought.
