Chameleon?s Birth ? by: Triss Morgan
Author?s Note:
This story is my second I have written to be posted in this genre. I
believe I have improved since my first story, William?s Construct.
Chameleon was a fun story to write although it is riddled with clich?s,
many of which were purposefully done. Someone once said that life was one
big clich?. There are times I believe that. This story was mostly meant
for the reader?s enjoyment but I must warn the reader that there is a rape
scene and a decent amount of violence. I try not to be explicit and I
value storylines over sex or violence but include them when they are
relevant to the story.
Please email me at
[email protected] for any comments and feedback of
just leave them as comments on the website if you wish.
Many thanks to some people who helped me edit this story to make it
presentable: Jenny, Mallory, Patti, Zip, and those that wish to remain
anonymous. These people helped make this story ten times better than it
was by fixing all the technical errors and pointing out some continuity
errors too.
Hope you enjoy it.

This is pure fiction and anything in this story that resembles someone

Chameleon?s Birth
by Triss Morgan
Whoever said life is never fair was a genius. They should be slapped
on the back and given a Nobel Peace Prize for that very statement. Don?t
get me wrong. Sometimes life can be very fair, especially for those who
are born in wealth and power. They usually don?t have to work very hard to
keep what they have because of a previous ancestor who worked extremely
hard for what they had now. Then there are those that seem to have life
made. They are the ones that can coast through life on autopilot and never
give much effort to succeeding. They are the ones that have everything
going right for them and when it doesn?t go right for them, some poor
schmuck unwittingly takes the fall for them. It is safe to say that we all
know some of these people. They are the ones that are seemingly content
and happy when viewed from the outside, but many times that is not always
true for these individuals.
But that is all beside the point. I am not talking about wealth and
power or those that are set for life no matter what they seem to do. I am
talking about one person, me. Yes, me. I was once one of those people who
were born to wealth, power, prestige, and everything that seemed good. I
thought I was happy since I could do whatever I wanted and my father would
provide me with the means to do it. But I found out that I wasn?t happy.
In fact, I was dreadfully bored. I put up a false exterior with my false
friends and we play acted that all was well with us while taking our anger
and boredom on unsuspecting people. People who we considered ?below us?
weren?t worthy of anything more from us then our disdain.
During the beginning of my life, I had never been challenged and I
didn?t know what my limitations or talents were. I soon found out what
they were soon after my 21st birthday. That is when my self-centeredness
brought me into a situation that required me to grow up.
You see, I had an accident, a very real accident. How this accident
happened was another clich? of life since life doesn?t care what are
clich?s and what are not when it dishes it out to you. It seems like every
story ever written contains at least a clich? or two. This story contains
more than a few. I am writing this story more for myself than others to
hear my story. It is to help me deal with life after? The Accident. Ok,
that was a clich? there but I can?t change how it happened. Would you
rather have demonic possession or alien abduction instead of ? The
Accident? I thought so. So sit down, be quiet, and wait for your own life
to have a twist in it and hope it is one of the other clich?s so you can
write your own life story to share with us.
Before I get ahead of myself I should start at the beginning. As I
said, I was rich, spoiled, and bored. I was fair to look at but not really
handsome. I had my share of girlfriends because of the wealth attraction
factor. Huge wealth attraction factor mind you. But they were all
superficial, high maintenance, and bitchy when I wasn?t wooing or screwing
them. My father always drilled into my head that prenuptials were man?s
best friend. Which led me to never commit to any relationship and I ruined
a couple of true friendships because of my spoiled attitude. But I
shrugged them off and spent some money and hurt a few poor souls to make
myself feel better. I was a real case. I am able to admit that now because
of the situation I am currently in. But I wouldn?t have admitted it before
? The Accident. Stay with me on this one. I am getting to the story now.
Oh yeah, and the names have been changed to protect my identity and those
who knew me. Now on to the story.
* * *
Part 1 ? The Inheritance
My name is Derek Banheist and today is my 21st birthday. It is also
an important day because of my inheritance. My father decided to bestow on
me control of one of his many companies so that I could prove myself
capable of babysitting the rest when he retires or kicks the bucket. My
trust fund was also completely released to me today making it another
bonus of the new age.
I am 5?8? tall with short nondescript brown hair and eyes. I am a
little pudgy around the middle but then who isn?t when they enjoy the
comforts that I enjoy everyday? Although, I attended college after private
school I didn?t learn much but I still received top grades because of the
hefty donations by my father gave for tax write-offs.
I am currently single, which is good in my opinion. My last
girlfriend left me after I told her my opinion of what a woman should be
for her husband. She asked for honesty so I gave it to her. She can?t
blame me for what me and society expected of her. I was innocence of her
tears as she rushed out of my life.
Today was a day that was looking good so far: Translucent clouds
were hanging high in the upper atmosphere complimented the clear blue
skies. A gentle breeze that freshened up the city was cresting the skin of
anyone outside enjoying this weather. I was having a slow morning while
receiving my manicure and massage ? both done outside. They have always
helped me relax and my comfort and wellbeing were priorities to me. I
couldn?t have myself become uncomfortable or distracted. It wouldn?t due.
I had an appointment I needed to attend this morning but I blew it
off and would show up late rather than on time. I had more pressing
matters that I was attending too.
Lying on the table while an attractive blonde was kneading my back
ever so gentle but firmly up and down with her oiled hands I decided that
this was by far a more pressing matter that needed to be attended too. All
I cared about was the moment I was experiencing. The massage only served
to enhance the wonderful morning with all the little pleasures going on
around me serving to make it a very wonderful day indeed. But the relaxing
morning was not to last. I needed to attend the appointment although I
would be very late for it.
Showering, dressing, and hopping into my Mercedes, I sped along the
highway to my new company for the complete inspection and if the day went
well, my first time to fire someone from this new company. I was as eager
as a small child during Christmas. It isn?t everyday that something new or
novel comes along to spark the imagination.
I cut off a few people who were to slow to get out of my way and
rushed into my assigned parking space in front of a large, brick building.
After turning off the engine I paused a moment to calm myself. I wouldn?t
want my employees to see how excited I was to finally get my own company
to manage. They might get the wrong idea.
I pulled open the front door and stepping into a large lobby while
my loafers squeaked along the floor breaking the silence of the area as I
approached the front desk. I saw Mr. Andrews standing there with a couple
lab coat scientists behind him. He looked like he had swallowed something
sour in his fat, sweaty face as he looked towards me but he managed to
recover quickly. I was going to enjoy knocking him into his place when the
time came. I slowly walked up to him making sure that he knew who was in
charge as I smiled my most charming and condescending smile.
?Welcome to Geno Corp. Mr. Banheist,? Mr. Andrews said while smiling
or trying to smile his best, winning smile, which must have been hard to
accomplish with his revolting looks.
?Good day to you, Mr. Andrews. I hope that I didn?t inconvenience
you with my late arrival but I had some pressing business that I needed to
attend to this morning. I am sorry to say that it prevented me from
arriving on our scheduled time,? I replied smoothly having to suppress my
disgust. I had gotten a lot of practice in life at making sure people
jumped for me and I never jumped for them.
?Not at all, although we were expecting you hours ago and this late
arrival is going to put a limitation on the inspection of the company
since we have some sensitive experiments currently running that we
couldn?t hold off for you,? carefully commented Mr. Andrews.
?Nonsense! We shall proceed to tour all of the company before I make
any decisions. It just wouldn?t be proper to do otherwise and I am sure
you could arrange the full tour with the scientists if you carefully drop
my name and tell them I would be pleased if they accommodated me on this.
We wouldn?t want my leadership of this company coming off on the wrong
foot because of a minor thing like a delayed tour,? I said while smiling
sweetly as I walked towards the elevators.
Mr. Andrews was obviously exasperated but he knew which hand fed him
now. So he relented and quickly waddled along to direct me into the
elevator and down to the first basement level.
On arrival he quickly trotted towards a glass door checkpoint and
had a quick discussion with the guard. The door opened soon after and we
crossed the threshold into a changing room that preceded the clean
environment of the lab. We washed and changed into some white clothing
while Mr. Andrews took it upon himself to direct me on the procedures of
the lab and what not to touch and do. I just nodded my head since there
was no point in arguing that now. I would do something about his attitude
when the time came after the tour.
The doors swished open and I coughed from the antiseptic reeking air
that rushed into the preparation room. I followed Mr. Andrews inside the
sterile environment and he continued the tour of what was being worked on
and what had been accomplished so far.
?Over to the left, through the glass window is Lab C. You can see
Doctors Walters and Greenburg working in there,? he said while waving to
the two nerds that fit the stereotypes of live-in-mother?s-house-while-
playing-D&D-all-night-long type nerds. That thought would appear harsh
with most people but I was bored one day and needed to read through the
bios of all my employees so I wouldn?t be surprised by any of them during
the inspection and reviews. The background check for these two confirmed
almost every bit of that stereotype, except they were paid enough to live
on their own and Walters had a huge comic book collection that rivaled any
comic book store on the East Coast. This knowledge helped me know my
victims so I could hit them where it hurts the most. It was a fun to do
for a boring day.
Mr. Andrews continued droning on, ?They are currently working with
Lab D in developing retroviruses that can manipulate and reconstruct DNA
for hereditary cancer cures. We have been close for many years to
completing this project but we have reached a plateau, I am told, that
they haven?t been able to surpass. Recently, we had Lab D begin working
with Lab C to complete the project to push it past stagnation. Lab D
specializes in exotic DNA genetic engineering and we hope to shock the
project onto a new level. Right now they are performing some
experimentation that is rather volatile and we can?t disturb them right
now.?
?Nonsense, they can easily put what they are doing on hold so I can
meet them to have them explain their experiments personally to me,? I said
while strutting towards the glass doors separating myself from Lab C.
?Mr. Banheist, please don?t open the door! They are using high
pressure atmosphere and pure oxygen to??
He never finished the statement as I overrode the door using
William?s code I saw him put in for the clean room. I felt the air rush
past me towards the back of the room where Bunsen burners were turned on.
Oh, shit was the first thing that came to my mind as the resulting
explosion carried me forward into the room with the flames and the
concussion wave from the Bunsen burners. I smashed into the nearest table
along the wall that was full of beakers, syringes, and tubs of clear
liquid hanging on the shelf above. Pain shot threw me as several
containers of glass shattered under my falling body piercing me through
the stomach. The shelving broke above me only to spill the tubs of liquid
that soaked me completely through. The tubs of liquid saved my life from
the rest of the flash fire that burn hotly throughout the lab destroying
everything else that was present including the technicians and scientists.
Somehow I managed to turn over and distantly observed the inferno as it
gave off a strangely fascinating collage of yellows, oranges, reds, and
blues, and green flames that danced across the ceiling, through the air,
and down the walls of the lab. This fire was like flowing liquid that
covered everything with a bellowing, blanket appearance. I briefly
wondered at this beautiful yet horrifying destruction that was occurring
around me. But that thought was cut short as explosions rapidly followed
the first and began to rock the lab with exploding containers and doors.
Then something struck me in the side of the head and brought darkness
while I wondered how I was going to explain this accident to my father.
* * *
Part 2 ? Legally Dead
Smoke, ash, and chemical smells assailed my nose making me nauseous.
I felt the pain in my head and stomach. I groaned and asked for some
aspirin but I didn?t get a response. I opened my eyes but I still couldn?t
see anything other than darkness and I was certain my eyes were open
judging from the sting they received. I listened but only heard groaning
metal and dripping liquid with the occasional popping sound coming from
the distance.
Then I remembered where I was. I was in the lab in Geno Corp. I was
inspecting the company as I took it over from my father. I had opened a
door to Lab C so I could show Mr. Andrews that I was in charge here and
not him. I then mentally kicked myself for opening that door. I should
have had Mr. Williams do it instead. Then this mess might not have
happened. Now how was I going to explain all this to father?
I groaned again to myself while trying to pick myself up from the
ruined table. Pain shot through my stomach and I laid back down not
wanting to endure that feeling again. Pain of that magnitude I was not
used to ever feeling. This wasn?t good. Where were the rescue workers? I
am in some serious pain and I need help!
I waited for what seemed like an eternity wallowing in my pain but
only a few minutes passed before I began making out shapes in the
darkness. Apparently my eyesight was adjusting to the bleak blackness that
enveloped me. After a few more minutes I could make out enough detail to
see the devastation that I caused. No, I didn?t cause it, but that stupid
Mr. Andrews caused it by not letting me into the Lab room and letting the
nerds perform such a dangerous experiment in the first place. I looked
down at my stomach and saw my white lab shirt ripped open with glass and
broken syringes sticking out. This wasn?t going to do. Detachedly I began
to pick out the needles and glass then I took some cloth that somehow
wasn?t burnt and wrapped it around my middle covering the wounds. This
took about twenty minutes to accomplish and the pain what already
beginning to fade away.
Looking around again I noticed that the place had lit up well but it
seemed to be all grey and smoky. Shrugging and earning a wince from mild
pain I looked around for a way to escape since the rescue workers seemed
to be on vacation this time of the day. I was going to make sure that they
didn?t have the opportunity to care about rescuing anyone again once I got
out of here.
I saw a hole that led up into the ceiling that must have been the
ventilation shaft which looked big enough to crawl through. So I began
climbing but it was hard. It looked so much easier in the movies.
Eventually, I started seeing colors instead of the grays as I came
around a corner that led to the ventilation grill leading outside. It was
sealed tightly with screws. Then I had one of my more brilliant ideas. I
pulled the penny out of my loafer and unscrewed the grill from the inside
releasing me to my freedom. I know, I know; penny loafers are out of style
and I should have traded them in for the clean room shoes as I was
supposed too, but I liked them.
Falling unherorically to the grass below, I picked and brushed
myself off, then looked around for my assigned parking space. I was
markedly disappointed to see rubble crushing most of the cars in the lot,
including my Mercedes. I wouldn?t be driving home in that. Then I noticed
that most of the building was completely destroyed and many of the
surrounding buildings had caught on fire or were in rubble too.
I was in deep shit.
I sat on the ground to collect my thoughts on what to do next. I
needed to think of some good excuses and explanations for this one. My
father wouldn?t think it a small coincidence that on my first day of
taking over one of his companies that it just happened to explode catching
the neighboring buildings on fire and was certainly going to cause
millions in suits for him.
The rescue workers had their hands full trying to contain the fires
then clean up just yet.
My stomach picked that time to grumble telling me that it was
ravenous. My thoughts shifted and eating became my first priority; eating,
then a shower, actually. Hmmm, maybe some sleep, too. I yawned and sleep
certainly seemed attractively high on the list. Then I would start
thinking again.
Standing up from the ground I began walking in the smoky haze
towards the nearest payphone to call a cab. After finishing the call I
looked down and saw the spectacle I made. Fortunately, I had more than
enough cash in my wallet to flash in the cabby?s face to convince him that
I was well worth driving around. I directed him to one of the ?safe
houses? I use to get away from everyone else. I needed privacy and no one
but I knew of the place since it was owned by an alias I rarely used and
kept hidden.
Upon arriving at the condo I labeled a ?safe house?, I immediately
ravaged the fridge and cupboards surprising myself on how hungry I was.
After I had eaten what normally would constitute a few days worth of food
for me I felt extremely drowsy. I then stripped, showered, and fell into
bed.
During my slumber I had to get up a few times while barely conscious
to fix myself more food to settle the extreme hunger that woke me up.
Eventually, after several trips to the fridge and cupboards, I finally
fell into a restful and dreamless sleep.
* * *
The sun was shining, the room was warm, and I had just awakened from
a very restful slumber and instantly knew that not all was right with me.
Not only was I fully awake, which never happened until a few hours after I
got out of bed, but I felt very strange and seemed full of energy.
I bolted out of bed and surprised myself by my lack of balance as I
fell face first on the carpet. There was a jiggling that stopped after a
moment that was centered on my chest. My hair had also fallen in my face,
which never happens since I wore it short. Something was definitely wrong
with me.
Cautiously, I put my hands in front to brace myself as I got back up
and noticed that these were not my hands. In fact, these looked like a
woman?s hands. The fingers were long and delicate and attached to equally
delicate hands. My eyes traveled up from there and took in the slim, long,
pale arms attached to the hands. Spare, fine hair lightly covered the pale
almost iridescent skin. For a moment I thought my eyes were playing tricks
with me as my skin seemed to subtly change colors but it was back to pale
pink when I blinked. Holding my breath I looked down and saw twin masses
hanging down from my chest that blocked my view from going farther down.
My mind, soon after that, shut down in denial.
Automatically, I pulled myself up managing to find my balance as I
moved towards the large closet mirror. What greeted me nearly stopped my
heart permanently.
The woman looking back at me was beautiful with striking teal eyes
encased in an elegant, aristocratic face. Her hair was glossy, long, and
raven black contrasting greatly with her pale skin.
But that was only above the shoulders. Her body was even more
impressive farther down. In my book, which was very big and had many
notches from my, um, accomplishments, she would have rated a twelve with
ten being the best. You might find a handful of women in the world, if you
turned over every rock, that had a body comparable to this one. She looked
like a female comic book heroine come to life. She was very tall and
appeared very athletic but she still had a soft look about her, not harsh.
She probably hit the six-foot mark with large but impossibly firm breasts,
tiny waist, flaring hips and the rock hard, slightly bubbled butt that
shouted woman to anyone who saw her from any angle imaginable. Still more
amazing were her long and Greek artisan sculpted legs that were toned
enough to suggest that great strength lay dormant underneath. Her entire
body was proportioned perfectly but just a small change in any one of
these attributes would throw everything off with an exaggerated and
unnatural cartoon look. I was in love and wanted to do her right there and
right now.
Then reality hit as my mind turned back on. I am this comic book
woman who is staring at me in the mirror! Oh, shit! Then unconsciousness
met me as I fell to the ground.
* * *
Later, I woke up again still feeling the twin masses on my chest
wiggle but I ignored that distraction. I needed to think. I needed to know
what happened during and after I left Geno Corp. I needed to do some
research on the past couple of days.
I fired up the computer and logged onto the net. Immediately, I
noted the leading story on several news sites. ?Fire destroys Geno Corp.
and millions in surrounding buildings? and ?Banheist heir dead from Geno
Corp. fire?. It continued on the same subject with different viewpoints.
It had been three days since the accident. No wonder they thought I
was dead. I just disappeared. I looked down at my body and I could see why
someone would think I was dead. I didn?t know how I could convince them I
was still alive. Perhaps I could talk to my father and explain to him what
happened then he could somehow find a way to fix this? Then I remembered
how my father thinks, and quickly decided that I would be much better to
take my chances on my own for while and let him cool off. Simply put, my
father would find someway to exploit me to make enough money to cover his
losses. He would consider it fitting punishment for destroying his lab and
causing the lawsuits that are bound to follow.
Finally, I stood and moved towards the mirror making a conscious
decision to become more familiar with the new me. Upon looking at the
beauty in the mirror, I realized that two horny D&D playing scientists
were responsible for this new form. They probably created their ultimate
woman when bored one day and one of those syringes that stuck me contained
her. Damn, if only they were still alive instead of charred pieces of meat
in a ruined lab, then I would make them change me back and after that, I
would ruin their stupid, pointless lives for changing me into this
delectable cunt!
I showered and it was strictly utilitarian since I didn?t pause on
any part of this body long enough for anything else than to scrub off the
grime. After finishing up, I dried and raided my closet looking for
anything to wear. Seeing some baggy sweats I quickly donned them but
wasn?t satisfied with the result. Nothing could hide this body except
having a box thrown over it.
Thinking of the next step, I decided to grab some money from a
hidden account I set up just in case my father decided to cut me out of my
heritance for one of his many paranoid reasons. Since he was my father,
some of the paranoia happened to rub off onto me and I had established
another account in the event that he found out about the first hidden
account. One thing he always taught me was to always have backup plans and
fall back points. He also taught me not to completely trust him since
business was business.
Time to buy some appropriate clothing that wasn?t flashy, clothing
that was just enough to cover myself up and not draw too much attention.
With a surprisingly cute grunt coming from my mouth, I moved outside
the condo and towards a cab I had called earlier all the while feeling the
disconcerting jiggling masses on my chest while the swishing of my hips
caused an uncontrollable rolling motion to my walk. The cabby?s eyes were
glued to me making me feel defensive and self-conscious as I entered the
cab. I told him in a rather abrupt manner to drive to the local mall and
to step on it. He just leered at me while traveling just below the speed
limit as he took turns that were not necessary while constantly checking
and adjusting his rearview mirror. I didn?t need telepathy to realize what
he was thinking. Damn! I needed to find a way to fix this mess.
* * *
Part 3 ? The Mall
Upon arrival at the mall, I was half tempted to refuse to pay the
cabbie the full price since he seemed to have enjoyed the view in his
mirror more than the road but I didn?t need the attention drawn to me and
just gave him the money..
Gathering my courage, I walked through the mall entrance, and
entered the large food court full with every type of person imaginable. It
didn?t take long before I began to wish that I were invisible as the
stares began drilling into every section of my clothing covered flesh.
Quickening my pace, I rushed out of the food court and pulled up to
an ATM machine. I rummaged through my wallet until I found the credit card
to my backup account and then inserted it. It ate my card! Anxiety spread
through me as I looked at the camera that was positioned in the corner of
the ATM machine. Oh, was I stupid! If someone dug enough into the status
of my hidden account, they would be able to find a video with my face all
over it. Not good!
That brought me to another thought: my father must have found and
closed off of the hidden account. But it was working a few weeks ago when
I checked it. Immediately, I had the sinking feeling that my father had an
idea of what was going on or at least knew that I was still alive somehow.
That would mean he would send his people after me. I found myself
strangely thankful for the change to my body to help throw them off but I
still wanted to be male! Then I looked up at the camera again. They had my
picture now so it wouldn?t do any good with a new body now.
Finally gathering up enough common sense I moved away from the ATM
and sorted through my wallet to see what I had in resources. I had five
hundred in cash that I could use to buy some decent clothing to replace
these awful sweat pants and shirt. I had other credit cards that I
couldn?t use now since they were my ?visible? accounts. I am sure my
father was watching those. I had a condom that was expired since I had
always been too lazy to use it. My old driver?s license which did me no
good in my current body. The rest was junk and useless to me. The five
hundred dollars I would just have to stretch out until I could reach my
backup to my backup hideout for my backup hidden account.
Quickly, I looked around the crowded mall reading the signs by the
shop locations and exits. It was uncomfortably apparent that a lot of
attention was being directed at me. Most of it was on my firm sweatpants-
covered rear or sweatshirt-covered masses. This made me blush
unconsciously but, when I realized what I had done, I quickly became angry
with myself. That was until I noticed four guys who looked like they were
still in college moving towards me. The vultures were finally swooping in
and this was the last thing I wanted or needed right now.
Thinking quickly, I moved into the nearest women?s store to escape
from the lusting eyes of the vultures and the stabs of jealousy of the
women. Judging by the frustrated looks, the college boys realized that
their prey had escaped for the time being but that didn?t stop them from
hovering around the store entrance waiting for it to emerge. My feelings
were mixed since I was able to escape into a store the vultures couldn?t
enter but the only reason I was escaping was due to me being female with
that causing the trouble to begin with.
Looking around the women?s store I couldn?t help but shudder as I
thought about how centered this shop was for my current form. The clothing
racks were filled full with various colors, sizes, shapes, and types of
fashion. Advertisements and pictures depicted models in various clothing
and lack of, all posing for a camera with the intention to sell.
Closing my eyes I breathed in deep and then out relaxing as much as
possible. Eventually, I was able to clear my head and prevent the rising
anxiety from overwhelming me. Looking around, a clear thought prevailed in
my mind. I thought it would be best to kill two birds with one stone: buy
something to replace these sweats while they waited for me. Eventually
they would get bored and leave, I hoped. But I had a problem as I moved up
to the nearest rack: I didn?t know how to dress a woman. Undressing? now
that was a different skill that I was happy to say I was very well
accomplished at.
?Do you need some assistance?? asked a cute redhead in a bored
manner as she moved around the cash counter towards me as I was mulling
over my predicament.
Startling me out of my thoughts, I quickly became glad that she had
asked me if I needed help since that would take care of my one of my
current quandaries. Plus, I didn?t want to demonstrate my ineptitude by
asking for her help in a women?s store. Thinking quickly I answered, ?Yes,
I am in need of some new clothing because my wardrobe was destroyed in a
fire.? This was not too far from the truth because my current wardrobe
wouldn?t fit my figure since the fire in the lab, I thought wryly.
?Oh? What are your sizes and then we can pick some stuff out for you
to try on if you want?? she asked seemingly oblivious to my predicament
and unease as she adjusted her manner certain of the sure sale she was
about to make.
?Um, I recently lost weight and need to be resized,? I answered
barely suppressing a grimace at that witless answer. Judging from the
girl?s reaction she didn?t believe me either. Well, she can just shove it
up her kazoo. She should be home making babies instead of out in the
workforce.
?Right. Then lets measure you so we can pick out some cute outfits
for you to try on,? she said as she directed me towards the dressing rooms
with me following behind her dragging my feet and head bowed in shame. I
couldn?t deny the need any longer for new clothing that would draw less
attention. I was prepared to accept my shame.
While behind her I got a decent view of her rear swing left and
right. Left and right. I quickly came to the conclusion that this wasn?t
so bad to be following her to my appointment with feminization. I had her
helping me out. Her figure was attractive with her apple shape posterior
that was invitingly firm.
Confusion suffused me as I felt my nipples perk up for some reason I
couldn?t fathom for the moment. It didn?t take long as I followed her to
soon realize what was affecting me so. I was being turned on, and it was a
very weird and different feeling than what I was used to.
Soon, we arrived at the dressing rooms and I was trying to think of
a way to avoid another predicament. I realized that I needed to think of
something repulsive and do it quickly. The first thought that entered my
mind was of Jerry Lewis dancing in a thong on Broadway. That did it with
one try. Whew, I thought as my attention was diverted elsewhere. But,
being optimistic, I thought of the glass as being half-full, seeing that I
was still attracted to women.
With little warning she began measuring me and I was certain she had
noticed my apparent arousal since I could see a barely suppressed smile
gracing her lips as she brought the tape across my bust. That about set me
off as humiliation and shame surfaced much stronger than I had felt since
the lab fire. I was about to give her a piece of my mind but she had just
looked up as she finished and asked what I would like to wear while still
smiling but there was something else to that smile that I recognized
quickly. Envy. That almost leveled me when I realized that here I was
standing in front of this extremely cute redhead and she was envious of
me. Me of all people! I was a male just a few days ago screwing the
daylights out of whatever woman I wanted. I never wanted to be in the form
that I was in now but I had a woman that I considered pretty and very
screwable standing in front of me smiling and she was envious of me!
Something then wormed its way into my soul that moment. Something that I
had felt so little of during my life that it was almost unrecognizable. It
was compassion. I was having compassion for this woman who was envious of
me. I would have easily have given her this body instead of me having it.
I hadn?t asked to be changed like this but here I was in front of this
woman who, with expensive and invasive surgery, could never change her
appearance from what it was. I was willing to bet that she would jump at
the chance to change her body to the one I had now. I wasn?t given that
option and I ended up in a drop dead gorgeous female body.
These thoughts toned down my shame and humility for being in this
body since I didn?t want to attack someone who didn?t mean me any harm and
was only envious of my unwanted body. But knowing my current fate, I
swallowed my misbegotten emotions and told her I wanted something nice but
practical. I might as well look the part of an attractive but conservative
woman. She nodded and soon returned with a black bra and panties. I did
not call those being practical, but I didn?t argue the point with her and
perhaps hurt her feelings. Plus, I needed to get to the other safe house
to regroup myself.
With some effort I managed to put on the underwear and she had me
try on a teal top with black jeans and sneakers. I was surprised at the
tight fit but everything felt snug and rather comfy in a pleasant way. I
could deal with this. Then I looked into the mirror and saw an incredibly
gorgeous woman staring back at me with an innocently shocked expression on
her face making her oh so very screwable. Crap! Jerry Lewis in a thong
dancing on Broadway.
With a couple more outfits packaged up that were chosen by the girl,
I paid her and left while taking a side exit that entered the concourse of
the mall allowing me to avoid the hovering vultures. I could tell that
this outfit I was wearing didn?t hide me from the ogling I received but it
seemed much more modest than the strained sweatpants and shirt. Although,
my hair could use help and perhaps a little bit of makeup and then I would
be sure to cause whiplash with many of these boys. Hmmm. I shouldn?t be
having such thoughts.
Shaking my head slightly to push away those thoughts I continued out
the door through the parking lot and looked for a cab. Not seeing any I
decided to continue walking towards the second safe house hoping to catch
one on the way. That wasn?t a smart thing to do as it was night and my
vision was so good lately that I failed to notice this fact until I was in
an area of town that I wouldn?t have walked through as a guy and during
the day. It wasn?t long after realizing the location that I could hear and
see a couple of guys following me from behind. This added to my agitation
and mental berating of my stupidity.
Pale shadows were cast by streetlights making alleyways and
doorframes forbidding terrain. Details inside the shadows were grey and
washed out making it impossible for any normal human to see what I was
seeing. The men got closer and I became more frightened and began to walk
faster trying to get out of this place before the two men behind could
corner me for reasons I didn?t even want to think about. But fate stepped
in and I collided with a man who had stepped out of a side alley next to
me. He gripped me roughly covering my mouth and dragged me back inside of
the alleyway. The two other men following behind looked in both directions
down the street for anyone who might disturb their fun and then they
followed us into the alley.
?Well, well. Look like we hooked a fine piece of ass tonight,?
growled the man who was holding me from being. He pulled me down to the
ground with one hand mashed against my rear cheeks with his crotch.
One of the two men leaned down and seized my head as he said, ?We
don?t get too many of your types coming though here and just to show our
appreciation we will let you do something for us.? By that time the man
who pulled me down was feeling up my breasts and pinching my nipples hard
causing me to cry out in pain. Tears began to flow down my face leaving
wet trails as they passed.
?Please, just let me go. I don?t want any trouble. I will walk
around your place,? I sobbed out through my tears and knew I was in a lot
of trouble. I have never so felt as helpless and vulnerable as I did right
then. It felt like being tied to the railroad tracks and looking into the
distance as a bullet train sped down on me while I squirmed around
helplessly in my bonds awaiting my inevitable fate. This wasn?t supposed
to happen to me!
?Now now, pretty. We can?t have you leaving without us showing our
thanks for coming into this part of town. Just a little fun for me and the
boys and then we will let you on your way,? he smiled evilly. He began to
unzip himself with one hand while the other grabbed my hair jerking my
head back painfully. After extending to full length he shoved himself into
my mouth saying, ?If you bite me, pretty, you will have a smile across
your throat.? He continued as he pulled out a switchblade with his free
hand.
The other two guys were content for the moment just fondling me, but
that didn?t last. The rapist who pulled me into the alley quickly unzipped
then pulled down my pants and underwear and forcefully plunged himself
into me causing a tearing fire to erupt from my unwanted womanhood. I
screamed but choked on the piece of meat shoved down my esophagus.
I wanted to die. I couldn?t believe that this was happening to me. I
felt shame more strongly than any other time in my life. Shame and
humiliation that were like a supernova to a flickering flame when compared
with the same emotions I had felt only an hour earlier. I didn?t want
anymore of this bitter fruit. I had been a man damnit!
After that thought, I quickly withdrew into myself to accept my
fate: a rapist?s whore. I had never felt so degraded or humiliated like I
had felt then. So this was what women have to look forward to in their
lives? I can?t believe that they would accept a fate like this, but what
could they do when a man wants to have his way with her? Very little
obviously! Men are fucking pigs for doing this to them. They may be
stronger but that doesn?t mean that they needed to do this to helpless
women. We should not be subjected to evils like this!
The reality set in that I wasn?t thinking like a guy anymore. I was
thinking more and more like a woman as the seconds passed by. I then made
a choice to finally accept fate but I only accepted the fate of eventually
becoming a full woman. I would not accept the fate of being brutally raped
then discarded like these filthy pigs were planning on doing to me. I
doubt they would even let me live. I wouldn?t if I was still a man and had
been driven to do this evil. I could see I was nothing more to them but a
passing fancy whom they wanted to dominate, conquer, and discard. I could
see all of this as I looked into the lust hungry eyes of my attackers. I
had become a woman and the only thing I had left was my life and that
would soon be extinguished after they had used me up.
Rage rapidly replaced humiliation, shame, submission, and
degradation. This will not happen any longer. I will not go down without a
fight!
With that last thought I felt something change in me. Energy
suffused throughout me from a place were my womb was now located. I felt
stronger and faster but I didn?t move yet. I focused my rage into a goal.
Escape. I then collected my wits while I readied myself to hit them hard
and fast and keep them off balance as I disposed of these pigs for hurting
me. Remembering my skin changing colors as I first woke up an idea swiftly
followed.
Concentrating hard I found that my hunch to blend in my
surroundings was right. It was almost instinctually done. With vengeance,
I bit down on the offending meat inside of my mouth spitting it out
hurriedly as blood washed over my tongue while I grabbed Mr. Switchblade?s
wrist. I twisted his hand causing his entire body to flip sideways onto
the ground. Before the other two realized what was happening I grabbed the
offending appendage that was still in me below and squeezed as hard and I
could. What happened then sickened me but it was too late to stop since
his testicles literally popped like pressured grapes. The thug the
appendage belonged to let out a scream into the higher soprano range that
would put any opera singer to shame.
The third guy had seen everything when he stood back after I blended
into the shadows. He was stunned at what was happening when I took care of
the first two thugs. I then turned my attention to him. His feet seemed
rooted to the ground but he managed to put one foot behind the other as he
slowly started to back up to the alley front and into the light.
I calmly stood up and pulled up my pants and panties. As soon as
they were on I noticed them blend in with the rest of me. I liked this
perk that came with the body, I thought while smiling. Switchblade was
starting to get up and had yet to catch enough breath to scream out in
agony, but before he could, I kicked him in the head hard enough to hear
his neck break.
I suddenly felt sick for an entirely different reason. I had just
killed a man for the first time. The pit of my stomach threatened to push
itself out through my throat. I decided right then and there that I didn?t
like killing. I don?t think that killing someone while I was a guy would
have bothered me, but then I never killed anyone as a guy. The thought
crossed my mind and I knew that if I needed to I wouldn?t hesitate to kill
someone if they needed to be killed. My father taught me to be ruthless. I
don?t think he taught me well enough since this was bothering me so much
or my ethics had changed along with my body.
My introspection was interrupted when the third guy turned and
started to run towards the entrance of the alley. Instinct took over as I
darted after him catching up just as he made it to the front. I grabbed
and jerked his hair yanking him back into this dark nightmare just as he
tasted the sweet light of the first lamppost outside. I turned him around
and gripped his neck. Rage surfaced again as I remembered his intentions
towards me. He needed to be dealt with.
He was completely white with fear while mumbling a prayer over and
over again when I looked him over. I could only imagine the thoughts going
through his mind as he looked at me and saw only a slight blur that seemed
more out of a Predator movie than real life. Looking him over I saw that I
was lifting him a foot off of the ground with only one hand hold him
around the throat. Walters and Greenburg must have spent a lot of time
manipulating DNA to create their ultimate fantasy, I mused, astonished at
my strength. I then turned my attention back to the praying man but I
couldn?t kill him. In fact, I found it sickening to just think of maiming
him. I decided to be lenient.
?If I hear of you ever trying to rape another woman again I will
find you wherever and whenever you fall asleep,? I paused a moment for
dramatic effect while listening to him mumbled praying. ?Oh, and clean up
your life and make something of it that is productive to society,? I
growled out to him while slightly shaking him by his head. I then smelled
something that told me he lost control of his body functions. He started
to wail like a child at that time. I grinned as I thought of another
command. ?Treat women as your equals. They are human beings with souls
too. Do you understand?? He stopped wailing enough to nod vigorously with
a wild, frightened look to his eyes and for a moment I was afraid that he
would break his own neck.
With one last look I dropped him and moved quickly away while
instinctively staying in the shadows. I needed to get out of this part of
town before I dropped my chameleon affect. I didn?t want to risk another
encounter with thugs or rapists.
Strangely, I feel good about what I did with the last man although I
wished I hadn?t killed Switchblade no matter how much he deserved it.
Maiming Grape Boy didn?t settle well with my stomach very well either. I
also had a bad taste in my mouth that I needed to take care of and I felt
a dirtiness that only a long hot shower could possibly clean? I hoped. But
there were now three less rapists on the streets and hopefully another
productive member of society. I smiled and dropped my chameleon affect as
I spotted a cabby.

Part 4 ? Good Samaritan
After spending the last twenty minutes in the cab, I managed to
compose myself and think back on what happened. I was now a she and I
admit that but then I still felt something inside of me that I didn?t
understand. I had felt satisfaction after cleaning up the trash that had
attacked me. I realized that I was once close to the same level of the
trash when I was still a man in the respect that I used women, and
bullied, threatened, and frightened people. The only consolation I had was
that I was never overtly violent to them, just mean. I will never act that
way again but then I won?t have the opportunity to act in that same way
again since I killed the scientists responsible for my womanhood.
One down side to the fight was the loss of my new clothing and the
last of my cash. This will set me back a bit since I have no
identification, change of clothing, or money. I just hoped that I could
get in and out of my second and last safe house before my father finds it
too. It was only a matter of time before he did. Of that, I was certain.
The cabby interrupted my thoughts as he stopped and let me out two
blocks away from my safe house so I could walk to it using my new
abilities so make sure I wasn?t falling into a trap. I didn?t have to deal
with the constant staring from this cabby but then I had a sneaking
suspicion judging from my enhanced abilities of perception that he was
quite gay. Ok, I admit to seeing a rainbow and a purple teletubbie hanging
on his mirror so it didn?t take a rocket scientist to infer that
possibility. But it was nice not being stared at like rare meat in a
market.
After traveling the last two blocks incognito, thanks to my
abilities, I hid in a corner overlooking a small apartment building on the
roadside. I started soaking in all the details looking for anything out of
place: a man walking along the opposite side of the road going away from
the apartment; a trashcan knocked over and a cat searching around the
garbage looking for something to eat, I assume; a streetlight shining down
on a corner illuminating a hooker as she plied her trade; windows of my
apartment shadowed and covered. My inspection stopped. I had found
something not right.
I folded the drapes in the window of my specific apartment so that,
if disturbed, they would straighten out. The window was always closed and
there were not any airflow vents beneath the window to disturb them. I
checked my safe houses every month to refill the refrigerator with semi-
perishables while crashing to get away from life for a day or two. Unless
I had disturbed the drapes myself they had never straightened on their
own. Paranoid? Me? I inherited it and it was taught to me. So someone had
definitely been inside the apartment in the past two weeks, since the last
time I checked the apartment.
My gut instinct was telling me to move on which was new because I
never got feelings like this but this one was specific. It was a certain
feeling that told me someone was waiting and I should leave. I didn?t want
to, though. I wanted to know for sure if it was my father?s men or someone
else who broke in. I needed to know or it would eat me up that I never
checked.
Quickly and quietly I moved through the shadows towards the fire
escape leading up to my window along the side alley. The ladder was pulled
up so it was a good fifteen feet off the ground and there was nothing to
move and stand on, and I didn?t want the noise so I couldn?t move anything
under the ladder. So I took a risk and jumped up and was amazed that I was
able to jump high enough to overshoot the ladder and hit my head on the
bottom of the grating creating a small dong in the alleyway. I
automatically grabbed the grating to prevent myself from falling then
easily pulled myself up onto the fire escape and the next level amazed at
what I had just done.
I looked into my apartment side window. Darkness was all I could
see, but my eyes quickly adjusted allowing details to appear. Someone was
in there judging by the hints of a foot standing behind the main door. I
wasn?t sure if I dared take the risk and ease up the window, but soon
remembered that I intentionally made it so the windows would squeak if
they were ever opened. Bully for me.
Unexpectedly, the foot moved and I found myself face to face with a
second person. I was so surprised that I dropped my chameleon abilities
revealing myself to the man facing me. He was just as startled as me but
he recovered quicker than I as he pulled out a gun and pointed it at me.
Instinct drove me and I ducked as the shot went off shattering the window
before me sending shards of glass digging into my face. Thankfully, no
bullet impacted me. I jumped to the side of the building and somehow
managed to land on my feet at the bottom of the alleyway. Looking back up
I could see the man sticking his head out of the window looking down at me
aiming his gun that soon blasted again. Intense pain traveled through my
thigh and up my spine proving that I was too slow in jumping away for the
man to miss.
Somehow, I was able to turn on my chameleon ability again and dash
down the road and into a nearby alley leading to yet another road that I
ran down while feeling the intense pain race up my spine every time I
stepped on my injured leg. I fled for several minutes before I was in too
much pain to run anymore. I found myself in a park and I carefully eased
myself down next to a tree overlooking one of the roads that ran along the
park.
I was such a fool. I should have listen to my gut instinct and
walked away. Then I wouldn?t have this bullet hole through my leg with
shattered glass needling my face. I couldn?t go to a hospital since my
father would place people there to monitor them. That thought led me to
another train of consideration as I began thoughtlessly picking glass out
of my face.
Why is he trying to kill me? This doesn?t make sense to kill his
only heir especially after the accident. I didn?t think he would be that
mad at me for what happened. The accident? I winced as a larger piece of
glass was picked out of my upper lip.
Some of the lessons taught to me in college came back and I started
to piece together some of what was going on. The DNA genetics experiments
that Mr. Andrews talked about had been on a plateau for many years trying
to complete retrovirus research that would cure cancer by reconstructing
the DNA. But the human genome had only been mapped but a few years. How is
it that they are able to manipulate genetics enough to change me into
this? The people who are able to change any human being into something
like me or something even weirder would be billionaires and extremely
powerful. They potentially had a fountain of youth they could charge
millions for.
I remembered overhearing a conversation between my father and
another man over the phone. He mentioned that he would rather live forever
considering something else that I didn?t pick up. I just assumed he was
saying what many of us thought. My father didn?t want to die, but I didn?t
know if he had a specific reason. He was always paranoid about living for
as far back as I could remember. Father was sixty-seven but he looked
older than that since his stressful and busy life seemed to have taken a
toll on him. So why would he give me the company that was working on a
potential fountain of youth and would be worth unheard of wealth? I
couldn?t answer that one. I needed more time to think and many more clues
to help unravel it.
During this time I absently observed a cabby pull over with steam
coming from under his hood. He had gotten out and opened the hood to let
it cool off and a young lady then stepped out of the back of the cab and
talked with the cabby. I should have been amazed but I was too caught up
in my own thoughts to fully realize that I was able to hear the
conversation from several meters away. She had told the cabby that she
didn?t have time and would walk the rest of the way. The cabby didn?t care
as long as he had his money and he continued to curse his vehicle while
the woman walked on. This was when I noticed men hanging off to the side
of the road just inside the trees. They couldn?t be seen by the woman or
the cabbie but I could see them because of my enhanced night vision. They
soon revealed themselves to the hapless woman as soon as she was out of
sight and most likely hearing range of the cabbie.
I knew what was about to happen, and I couldn?t let this happen to
another woman when I could have prevented it. Without thinking I managed
to pull myself up and I ran across the grass as the men surrounded the
woman. They grabbed her from behind with one slapping her violently then
shredding her blouse as she let out a yelp of pain and fear. This added
more rage to my fire as all thought left my mind as it switched over to
complete instinct, and I charged forward completely ignoring the pain
shooting through my leg.
The first man didn?t know what hit him as I dived kicked him in the
head causing an audible snap from his broken neck. The next man was
wheeling around when I landed, spun around, and caught him in the face
with the palm of my hand driving his nose into his brain causing him to
soar several feet back into the trunk of a tree resulting in a dull thud
that echoed almost silently around the park.
Two men down, and two to go. The first of the two managed to pull
out a gun, but before he could use it I charged him and broke his arm.
Subsequently, I seized the arm and swung him around to smash headfirst
into the ground. He was dead judging from the deformed head as thought
pushed itself back into the forefront of my brain.
Intense nausea caused me to fall to my hands and knees retching
violently onto the ground as I realized that I had just killed three men
without a thought of remorse. I saw my hand on the ground partially
covered by vomit and then realized that I had lost my chameleon affect.
I heard a shot ring out and felt something explode out the front of
my chest that had gained entry from my back. Shock filled my brain
completely, drowning out any pain from registering. I somehow managed to
stand and turn around to see the last man fixed several feet away with a
gun pointed towards me. Fear and panic was written all over his face that
then became more pronounced as I started towards him notwithstanding my
obviously gapping chest wound. It was only a matter of time before he
squeezed off another round forever ending my brief experience as a woman
if I couldn?t reach him quickly enough. I wasn?t going to make it, I
realized as time slowed and calmness set in. I was losing strength and his
finger began squeezing slowly down on the trigger to release another
kinetic charge of deadly lead and I couldn?t stop him.
Out of the corner of my eye I faintly perceived the young lady pull
something from her fallen purse and aim it at the head of the fourth man
all so rapidly that I felt the man and I were both dragging in molasses. A
fateful shot soon rang out clearly and the man?s head exploded in a
flowery, bloody ruin leaving what little bit of my holed chest intact.
What kind of gun was able to do that? I distantly thought. I turned my
full attention on the woman and saw the gun clearly. Funny, it looked too
small for the damage it did to that guy?s cranium. Abruptly, I found
myself on my knees and saw the young lady rushing forward to grab hold of
me and gently lower my head to her lap.
So beautiful this woman was as I peered up into her striking and
lovely face. This was the face of the angel I saved. It was fitting that I
would see it before I died. Then I noticed the worry set in her features.
?Are you ok?? I asked stupidly coughing blood from my mouth as I
said it. I wasn?t able to say more as she started talking rapidly.
?Shit, shit, shit! You have a freaking hole in your chest because of
me! You can?t die on me. Not when you saved my life!? Tears were leaking
out of her eyes as she franticly looked around for something. ?Hold on
while I call the ambulance,? she spurted as she started to apply direct
pressure to my wounds causing me to gasp.
?No! No hospital, please,? I begged. I had to pause for a moment and
swallow as blood filled my mouth. ?There are people looking for me who
would do me more harm. No hospitals,? I managed to say forcefully despite
my wounded chest then added as sincerely as possible through my increasing
pain. ?Please.?
The young woman was shedding tears in earnest out of frustration and
helplessness. She then begged, ?But I need to take you to a hospital or
you will die! I can?t have you die when you saved my life. What can I
do?!? Then she broke out sobbing.
I was beginning to feel for this woman. The new me would probably be
doing the same thing as she was doing right now; sobbing. I raised my hand
to her face and then another moment of intuition hit me. ?Please don?t
cry. I will survive if you can,? I coughed another mouth full of blood
out, ?just stop the bleeding and get me somewhere I can rest.? I don?t
know why I said that but it seemed like the right thing to say.
After I told the woman how she could save me she managed to collect
and compose herself in a very short amount of time that spoke volumes
about the woman?s steel spirit within. She looked pensive for a moment
then said, ?I know a place I can take you for that,? she paused for
another moment longer as she looked like she was formulating some clever
plan before continuing, ?I have a idea on how to get you somewhere safe
but you need to keep yourself alive until I do. I will have to leave you
for a sec, but I will back in a few. Just rest here. Ok??
I nodded my head as she pressed her jacket to my wound. As if cued,
darkness rapidly overtook me and brought sweet oblivion.

Part 5 ? Laura Stevens
Hungry. That was the first intense thought that crossed my mind as I
woke up. I must have said something because soon afterwards someone
brought me a plate full of food, which didn?t last long before it was
empty and I was asking for more. Shame on me I know, but what can you do
when your hunger feels more powerful than the need to breath? Fortunately,
the young woman, whom I saved and she saved me obviously, was patient with
me as she brought me more plates of food. Eventually the hunger subsided
to something more manageable.
I looked up at my nurse and felt embarrassed for putting her through
the stress of caring for me and somehow sneaking me back to where I was
able to rest. Funny, I wouldn?t have cared when I was a man. My outlook on
everything was changing like my form had already changed.
Pushing the thought aside I said wryly, ?Excuse me for being so
rude. I didn?t catch your name before I passed out last time.?
She looked up at me as she placed another empty plate on the dresser
and smiled brightly as she said, ?No apologies necessary. I am very
thankful that you saved my life the other night. I was caught off guard
and usually I am not stupid enough to walk in the park late at night. My
name is Laura Stevens,? she held her hand out and I shook it rather
delicately although there was strength behind her handshake, ?and I am
amazed with what I have seen the past couple of days,? she responded
eagerly and friendlily.
I was about to tell her my name when I realized that I didn?t have
one for this body and my old one was hardly appropriate for the new me. A
new name has been something I have not thought about since the lab fire
and I could hard
