Circe's Return
Andrew frowned as he lowered the single strand of blonde hair into the mixture of chemicals. He waited anxiously… months of hard work, of explorations, of trips across the Greek seas… it all came down to his. If it didn't work…
He gasped as the solution turned a golden color, meaning it was complete. He had done it! Him, Andrew, had created this from scratch! He was about to bring an old myth back to life!
He took the vial of golden liquid, loading it into a syringe, and pocketed it as he grabbed his cell phone. He didn't know whether it would work, which meant that he needed to do a field test… and who better to test it out on than his friends?
An hour later, Andrew arrived at Keegan's place. Blue was already there, the two were playing video games as Andrew walked in.
"Hey man," Blue said, pausing the game.
"Hey," Andrew smiled, pulling out the syringe behind his back.
"What's up?" Keegan asked. "you told us you had something to show us?"
"How much do you two know about Greek mythology?" Andrew asked.
"A little bit," Blue admitted. Keegan nodded, agreeing.
"What do you remember about the story of Odysseus?" Andrew asked, injecting himself with the solution.
"I know it was a really long story," Blue sighed.
"You'll have to be more specific," Keegan nodded, agreeing. Andrew smiled, his figure changing, shifting to a more feminine form.
"What do you two know about Circe/" Andrew asked as his hair became fairer, longer, his voice softening. Keegan opened his mouth as if to explain, then noticed Andrew's changes. He froze and paled.
"Andrew, you didn't," Keegan said, taking a step back.
"I did," Andrea said.
"Andrew… Andrea, what… "Then Blue's eyes widened as well. "How?"
"It wasn't easy," Andrea admitted as her changes completed. She was now a beautiful long-haired blonde woman… her smile was dazzling, but Keegan and Blue knew just how much power she held now.
"Blue, run," Keegan said. "Go get some chickens from the lab, we're gonna have to make some sacrifices to get rid of Circe." Blue nodded, running for the door, while Keegan ran for the window. Andrea just laughed and snapped her fingers. Keegan and Blue were suddenly suspended in midair before they could do anything.
"Fools, I'm still in control," Andrea said. "I may have Circe's powers, but I'm still Andrew in mind."
"You have the powers of one of legend's most powerful witches, and you think we won't have a problem with this?" Keegan asked. Andrea, or rather Circe, snapped her fingers once more. Blue and Keegan landed on the couch. Both of them tried to get up, but found that they couldn't move from their sitting position.
"In a word, yes," Circe said, sitting in between them with a smile. The two squirmed, trying to break free, but Circe's magic was too strong. "Now, how about this… I'll play a game with you two."
"What kind of game?" Blue asked, worried. Circe clapped her hands together, and the room darkened, a spotlight shining at a space in front of them as a small stage appeared, along with a microphone.
"Entertain me," Circe said. "Entertain me for somewhere between five and ten minutes, and I'll let you free. But," She said. "Fail to do so…"
Keegan and Blue gulped.
Circe snapped her fingers and Keegan appeared on the stage. He blinked, looking around, panicking a little bit.
"Tell a story, or do some stand-up," Circe said, watching Keegan eagerly. Keegan took the microphone and stammered for a bit. Circe gave him a warning look.
"HIDDEN OPTION C!" Keegan exclaimed, dropping the microphone and running for the window. He leaped, and Circe sighed, snapping her fingers. The window covered itself with bricks, and Keegan landed facefirst into the wall.
"Wrong option," Circe giggled, forcing Keegan to return to the stage. "You shouldn't have done that… but since you're so 'hoppy'…" she giggled as Keegan started to grow fur, legs and feet becoming longer. His clothes disappeared before they could be shredded by his elongating feet. He became rather bow-legged as his hips and waist widened, fur traveling up and down his body. Within moments Keegan realized what was happening.
"I'm turning into a kangaroo?" He asked, startled.
"You could say that," Circe agreed as a pouch appeared around Keegan's abdomen, breasts starting to grow on his chest. His face pushed out into a marsupial muzzle as his hair lengthened. Within moments, an anthro female kangaroo was standing on the stage. Circe laughed.
"And that was entertaining," She giggled, snapping her fingers. Allison disappeared from the stage.
"What did you do with her?" Blue asked, worried.
"Don't worry… I just needed some new staff," Circe shrugged. Soon Allison came bounding into the room, wearing a maid's uniform and holding a glass of water.
"Here you are, Mistress," She said in an Australian accent. "can I help you with anything else?"
"No, thank you, Allison," she smiled. Allison turned and hopped away. She took a sip of water, and glanced at Blue's face. "Oh, don't worry, she's completely aware of her actions," She explained. "Your friend is still there… just a passenger now, Allison the maid is in control."
"You bitch…" Blue growled, then gasped as he disappeared, only to reappear on stage.
"Your turn," Circe said. "I hope you'll learn from Keegan's mistake." Blue looked at the microphone, nervous.
"Um… so, I just do anything?"
"Yes," Circe nodded. "Why not try telling some jokes?"
"Jokes?" Blue blinked. "Um… alright…" He took a deep breath, trying to calm down. "So… pigs, they…" He gave a nervous laugh. "You'd better not keep any nosy pigs around or they might turn out to be hamburglars…" He laughed. Circe frowned. Puns… that wasn't entertaining. She watched as a pink corkscrew tail grew out of Blue's tailbone. "If you ever meet a karate pig, you'd best watch out for their chops," Blue laughed again as his ears turned pink and flopped down out of his hair like a pig's. This continued for about ten minutes, Blue delivering pun after pun while more and more of him changed.
"Blue, stop," Circe said after a while. "Look at yourself." Blue blinked, looking down and gasping. His… her clothes were gone, revealing a fairly overweight body. Her feet had turned into hooves, her hands into three-fingered hoof-hand hybrid. Her face was now a porcine muzzle, her nose and mouth turned upward into a snout. She was now a fat anthro female pig. A snap of Circe's fingers and she was kneeling on the floor in front of Circe.
"May I massage your feet?" Bella asked in a Southern accent, slipping off her shoes to grasp her feet lightly. Circe smiled.
"It's so nice to find people willing to help…" She giggled while Blue mentally struggled to break free of the spell. Circe smiled, closing her eyes and relaxing… eventually, she fell asleep.
When Circe woke up, she saw two very angry anthro women standing above her.
"What are you two doing?" Circe asked. "Get… to… work," She… rather, he, said, looking down to notice that he had returned to his Andrew form. He paled and looked up at Allison and Bella.
"Shall we?" Bella asked, still speaking in a Southern accent.
"We shall, mate," Allison growled in an Australian accent, grabbing Andrew. Andrew gasped as Bella walked away, turning and shooting Andrew with a TF gun. Andrew began shrinking and growing fur, while Allison pushed him into her pouch quickly.
"This is just a taste of what we'll do for the next few weeks," Bella said as Andrew…. Andrea poked her head out of the pouch, now a small anthro flyer.
"But… I kept your minds!" Andrea cried out, surprised at her small size.
"And we kept yours," Allison smiled. "Your body, however…"
"It's not that we're complaining," Bella said. "But you know how revenge goes." Andrea frowned, but sighed, snuggling into the warmth of Allison's pouch.
"Fine…' Andrea muttered, already planning out her revenge.
And so the cycle began again…
