"Dude, I swear to you this cabin of mine is the tits! It's belonged to
my family for as long as I can remember; besides the office is going to
be closed down for the next couple weeks for the holidays," said Craig,
talking to his coworker Alex.
"I dunno, Craig. I'm not one for the wilderness and the whole outdoors,"
Alex replied as he put away some paperwork.
Craig Lann and Alex Ross were coworkers at a local office firm. Craig
was the head of their area while Alex had been working there for a few
months. The two had hit it off pretty well, slowly becoming good
friends, but were still more like acquaintances, which was why Alex was
rather iffy on spending a couple weeks in a secluded area with his boss.
Craig had described it as this quiet acreage that his family had owned
for quite a few generations and with the fall season coming to an end,
the trees changing colors was just a beautiful sight.
The company the two were working for, Halbert Enterprise, gave it's
employee's a week and a halfs worth of paid vacation as the entire
office shut down. Craig always used this time to go up to his cabin,
inviting at least one of his other co workers to join him. Those who
agreed to tag along never regretted it when it was time to leave. They
always credited Craig as an excellent host and would take his offer up
again.
One of their coworkers had overheard their conversation and butted in.
"Alex, take his offer. It's like a once in a lifetime opportunity and
you'd be an idiot not to do this."
Alex just sighed, at twenty two years old he didn't really like the idea
of spending time with someone who was older than him. He wasn't even
sure just how old Craig was but the fact of the matter still remained.
Craig told him to think about it and let him know by the end of the day
as he walked off back to his office. He was only a few years older than
Alex, though his looks made him look almost like he was in his thirties.
A thought crossed his mind that maybe that was the reason behind Alex
not up right agreeing to go. He decided not to really think about it too
much as he sat down in his chair and started working. Alex would change
his mind, he was sure of it, all he had to do was wait.
***
"I can't believe I'm actually going with you to this cabin of yours,
Craig," Alex said as he looked out the front passenger window. The sight
of the leaves changing colors was indescribable as they drove past.
Craig was pretty quiet most of the trip, unless Alex asked a question
about the cabin.
His questions pertained to whether or not there was electricity and if
there was running water. The basics as he called them, which Craig
gladly answered, keeping his eyes on the road. Alex was still a bit
uncomfortable and tried to avoid looking over at Craig as much as
possible. If it weren't for his original plans getting canceled at the
last minute, he wouldn't have agreed to this trip.
It was obviously too late to be regretting it now as they pulled up next
to the cabin. Alex looked out through the front windshield and was just
amazed by how it looked. The outside of the cabin had the appearance of
a log cabin, the wood a dark color. The cabin itself looked rather big
with two levels, a trace of modern touches mixed in with the old. Alex
could see a giant generator sitting about ten, fifteen feet from the
house, where he figured the electricity would be coming from.
Up on the roof he noticed a satellite dish, which made him slightly
smile, at least they'd have some sort of television to watch. So it
wasn't a huge loss for him.
"Well what do you think, Mr. Ross? I hope the cabin looks good enough
since we're going to be stuck here for the next week and a half. The
satellite is a little spotty this far out in the wilderness, so I hope
you didn't plan on watching the football game this weekend or something.
It's part electric heat and part wood burning, so if for whatever reason
the generator were to go out we'll still be warm," Craig was explaining
as he walked towards the back of his silver Camaro and opening the
trunk.
Alex didn't respond right away as he too got out and walked to the trunk
to grab his bags. He looked up at the sky, noticing it was really cloudy
and hoped the weather would stay decent during their stay. As he was
busy paying attention to the sky, he almost bumped directly into Craig
who was holding his bags out for him.
"Hey Alex, wake up there," Craig laughed as Alex quickly looked down
from the sky, obviously embarrassed.
"Sorry," he muttered as he grabbed his bags from Craig and walked around
him.
Craig just smiled and grabbed his bags before closing the trunk,
pressing the lock button on his keys. With his car locked, he followed
Alex up to the front door and fiddled with his keys. He asked Alex to
grab one of his bags while he unlocked the door which Alex complied
with. Once the door was opened, Craig allowed Alex to take the first
step in.
Alex stepped inside the cabin with Craig hot on his heels. He stepped
aside so Craig could get in, closing the door and locking the door.
Craig could tell Alex was a bit nervous and put a hand on his shoulder,
telling him to relax and now was the time to enjoy themselves. Alex just
shook Craig's hand off of him, his shirt sleeve moving enough to reveal
an obvious tattoo.
"Well well well, since when have you had ink?" questioned Craig, who
sounded rather impressed.
The question surprised Alex who quickly covered what his sleeve
revealed. He tried to avoid the question by asking Craig where they were
going to be sleeping. Craig could hear the tone in his voice, the kind
that told him that the question was very personal. So rather then push
the issue, he answered Alex's question by leading him upstairs to the
two beds.
"So you'll see that it's not exactly two levels, but a loft with a
dresser on either side of each bed, so feel free to use the one there on
the right," Craig said as he pointed to the dresser on the right.
"Err... thanks," Alex replied as he walked down the steps to grab his bag
and bring it back up.
When Alex had returned with his bags, Craig went down to grab his,
giving Alex some space even if it was only for a few minutes. As he came
back up the stairs, Alex had already begun to unpack his clothes. Most
of his stuff was lying on the bed, neatly folded, while Craig just
dumped his clothes out all over his bed.
Alex had went to grab the next piece of clothing when his hand brushed
against an object that wasn't originally in his bag. He looked over at
Craig, a confused look on his face as he pulled the object out, a
camera, and a rather expensive looking one. Craig looked rather
impressed at the camera, "You never told me you were interested in
photography."
"I'm not. I have no idea how this camera got here," Alex replied looking
over the camera. "What the hell is C. O. C.?"
Craig's eyes seemed to light up and he quickly walked over to Alex who
backed away slightly. He asked to take a look at the camera and was busy
muttering something about a "camera of change" or something. Alex was a
bit worried that his boss was acting rather strange, he reluctantly
handed it over.
"What the hell is the camera of change? And why do you sound happy that
it was in my bag?" Alex asked, sounding a bit worried.
"You've never heard of the Camera of Change? Oh boy we are in such a
treat Alex, this camera has the ability to turn someone into the
opposite sex! The chances of this thing ending up in your hands is less
than the odds of winning the lottery," Craig explained in excitement as
he pointed the camera at Alex.
Alex quickly ducked down which just made Craig laugh. He went back to
looking at the camera, while Alex just glared at him and went back to
grabbing his clothes. Craig clearly didn't notice and set the camera
down to start putting his clothes away.
When the two had finished, Craig gave Alex the rest of the tour around
the cabin. The final stop being in the full sized bathroom, which
actually surprised Alex.
"We got a full sized shower/bath combo which fits two," Craig said with
a wink, laughing afterwards when Alex gave him a funny look. "Ha, don't
worry Alex, I don't bat for the same team."
"I... you said it not me..." Alex replied as they stepped out into the main
part of the cabin.
Craig was still laughing, only it sounded more like a chuckle at this
point. He walked towards the front door and told Alex he'd be right
back, something about grabbing something out of a shed. Alex was a bit
confused, he never saw a shed when they pulled in but rather than
question it, he decided to go sit down on the couch and wait. Grabbing
the remote near him, he flipped on the TV to see just how spotty the
satellite actually was. There were only five channels and none of them
were coming in clearly. So with a sigh he turned the TV off and leaned
back into the couch, his head resting against the headrest, closing his
eyes as he did so.
"Hey there sleeping beauty, glad to see you find the couch comfortable,"
Craig chuckled as he gently shook Alex awake.
Alex quickly opened his eyes and jumped away when he saw Craig sitting
next to him, "How long was I out?."
"Oh just a few minutes, you must have dozed off when I went out to grab
the weights. I see you tried the TV, told you it's a little spotty."
Alex groaned and rubbed his tired eyes. Craig asked him if he was hungry
since it was getting close to dinner time. He didn't even wait for Alex
to respond as he stood up and walked over to the kitchen. Grabbing
ingredients out of the stainless steel fridge and setting down on the
wooden countertop. Craig would occasionally look up to see what Alex was
up to, noticing him looking at the set of weights.
"Go ahead and use them, I figured I'd bring in the bench press for when
either of us is bored. You look like the kind of guy who does some
lifting in his spare time," Craig said as he was preparing dinner.
There wasn't an immediate reply from Alex who sat down on the bench,
"They are a pretty nice set of weights, they look new considering
they've come out of a storage shed," Alex was rather enthralled with the
weights and decided to give them a shot. He avoided actually bench
pressing, since Craig was busy making them dinner, so he stuck with the
smaller weights.
Time seemed to pass rather quickly as Alex did a few reps with each arm
before setting the weights down. Craig was finishing up whatever he had
been busy cooking up and was getting plates out. Alex decided to stand
up and walk into the decently sized kitchen to help out Craig. Looking
in various drawers for the silverware, until Craig opened the closest to
him.
"Don't worry about it Alex, you're the guest and I'm the host. Besides
you found the Camera of Change in your bags and that..." he trailed off,
thinking about the camera that was upstairs.
"Umm... were you going to finish that thought? Also why are you so excited
about me finding this camera?" Alex asked, sounding concerned. "You
don't plan on using it, do you?"
Craig didn't answer, instead he grabbed a pair of tongs from a drawer
and grabbed some of the stir fry and put it on Alex's plate. Alex walked
over to the dining table, trying to get far away from Craig as possible.
That obviously failed as Craig sat down across from him. Craig assured
Alex that he had no plans on using it while they were here. His words
weren't enough to really convince Alex.
As they sat there and ate their dinner, Alex was asking questions on
what all Craig knew of the camera. Craig was more than happy to tell
Alex everything while they ate. He started out with the legend that he
had known for quite some time. A woman who had called herself the Ebil
Witch Lady had created the camera, infused with some of her power, which
was her way of taking a vacation. The camera had the ability to change
those who were caught in the flash, hence naming it the Camera of
Change, but it also had changed reality so those caught up in the flash
would never know the difference.
The story went on as the two finished their dinner. Craig noticing that
Alex was showing some sort of interest. As he finished his story, Alex
put his plate into the sink and started to get some warm water going.
Craig set his plate in the sink on top of Alex's and asked him if he
wanted any help. Alex just shrugged, so Craig went off to sit down at
the table.
It didn't take very long for Alex to finish and get the dishes dried and
put away. When he was done, he went and sat down at the table across
from Craig.
"So there's no television to pass the time, what exactly do you do?"
asked Alex, running his fingers through his blonde hair.
"Well... there's cards or board games," Craig said with a laugh. "It's
that or taking a walk down the nature trail behind the cabin."
Alex wasn't exactly thrilled with the news and told him cards was fine.
Craig smiled and stood up to grab a pack of playing cards.
The two would go on to play cards until it was almost midnight. Both
agreeing it was getting rather late, so they both walked up to the loft
to get ready for bed. Craig was the first up the stairs, flipping the
light switch near them as he did so, and sat down at the edge of his bed
while Alex walked on by.
"I hope you don't sleep in the nude Alex, don't want any more
awkwardness between us," Craig said as he took off his shirt.
Alex just laughed and shook his head no as he too took of his shirt,
revealing not only his tattoo but that he had a very good looking body.
The short explanation was, Alex worked out, and he did it rather often.
It was a rather impressive sight for Craig, he too had a healthy looking
body just not as ripped.
"So what's with the lines and names on your arm, Al?" Craig asked as he
stood up to take his pants off.
"Uhh nothing, just a little thing an old girlfriend and I got done. I'm
not very comfortable talking about it, it's a personal thing that I like
to keep quiet," Alex replied, slipping off his jeans and into a pair of
blue basketball shorts.
Craig decided once again to not press the issue, he grabbed the camera
and set it on the bedside table. He crawled into bed and pulled the
covers up, "Good night Alex."
The only reply he received was that of snoring coming from Alex's side.
With a light chuckle, he closed his eyes to fall into dreamland.
***
The next morning proved to be rather difficult between the two. Alex had
woken up early and saw that the camera was sitting on the bedside table.
He figured he could just toss the camera while Craig was sleeping. So
after getting dressed he slowly and quietly grabbed the camera off the
table, making sure not to wake up Craig. His plan was working out
greatly, that is until he accidently bumped one of the corners of
Craig's bed.
Alex stopped dead in his tracks, hoping and praying that Craig wouldn't
wake up. Craig began to stir, muttering something that Alex couldn't
quite make out. He opened his eyes and saw that Alex was standing at the
edge of his bed.
"Morning Alex," he said groggily, not noticing the camera in Alex's
hands.
"Uhh... morning Craig, get a good night's sleep?" Alex replied as he
inched toward the stairs.
Craig nodded and started to get out of his bed, noticing the camera was
no longer on the bedside table. He stood up from the bed and looked over
at Alex, taking notice that the camera was in his hands.
"Alex, what are you doing with the camera?" asked Craig as he walked
towards him, not even bothering to get dressed.
"I'm getting rid of it. I don't feel comfortable with this thing being
in the same place as the two of us. You've been eyeballing the damn
thing since I found it and honestly it's gotten to the point where the
thing needs to go," Alex said, thinking of his next move.
Craig was getting closer to him, his left arm stretched out, ready to
grab the camera when the chance showed itself. The two stood facing each
other, like they were in an old western standoff. Time seemed to slow
down as Craig found himself close enough to dive for the camera without
risking his safety and Alex's. When he figured the time was right, he
jumped towards Alex, who in turned tried to move out of the way.
The two ended up colliding into each other. Craig had managed to grab
ahold of the camera while Alex kept a strong grip on it.
"Let go of it Alex! As your boss I demand it!" Craig yelled, trying to
yank it out of his grip.
"Your not my boss out here, now let go of the damn camera! I'm getting
rid of it whether you like it or not," Alex yelled back, trying to keep
Craig from freeing it from his hands.
Both men were about at equal strength, their struggles lasting for quite
a few minutes. Eventually the camera was slipping from both of their
sweaty grips. In the midst of things, one of them had powered on the
camera. Craig had started to get the upper hand and by pure accident
pressed down on the button, making the flash go off right in Alex's
face.
Alex cried out as he was blinded by the flash, releasing whatever hold
he had on the camera. The quick action threw off Craig as he jerked his
hands too quickly, making the camera fly out and up and over the railing
of the loft. It was as if time was moving in slow motion as both watched
the camera fly over the edge.
There was a loud crashing sound as the camera hit the floor. Craig
pushed past Alex as he ran down the stairs to make sure the camera
wasn't damaged. Alex wasn't feeling rather well and slowly made his way
down the steps. Craig was on his knees, holding the camera that appeared
to be slightly damaged, nothing but minor scratches. When he noticed
Alex walking down the steps, rather slowly, he ran over to the kitchen
and opened up one of the bottom drawers revealing a safe. Without much
hesitation he locked up the camera and put the key into his pocket.
Turning his attention back to Alex who was now standing by the couch.
"Craig... I don't feel so hot... Like my body feels warm," Alex said as he
started to take off his shirt, hoping it would help. "I think that
camera did something to me..."
Craig thought about it and recalled he had pressed the button to take a
picture and the flash went off right in Alex's face. All he could do was
stand there as he knew that Alex was about to undergo some big changes
and it was basically his fault.
Alex's hair had immediately started to grow and thicken in waves,
stopping when it reached past his shoulders. His blonde hair began to
darken, starting from the roots and slowly sinking down till it reached
the tips. It started out as a light brown and slowly transitioned to a
rich chocolate brown. His eyebrows were taking the same route until they
matched his current color of hair.
Next was his face, which began to shift and change as both bone and
muscle tissue were altered. Slimming down all bits of his face and
raising his cheekbones, eyes getting bigger as the color changed from a
dark blue to a bright sparkling blue, and his rather average looking
nose shrinking down to a more petite size. Following that, his lips
began to puff up as if they were being filled by an unknown substance,
giving them a more plump appearance. In the span of a minute, his face
looked like it belonged to a young woman.
Alex had managed to gain his bearings and rubbed his hands over his
face, taking in every bit that had altered. As his hands touched his
face, each finger slimmed down and lengthened slightly while the rest of
his hands slimmed. He managed to stifle a scream that sounded more like
his voice was beginning to crack. Grabbing his throat, Alex coughed,
each time his voice rising an octave until he unmistakingly sounded like
a woman.
"C-Craig... what is happening to me?" he asked as he looked shocked to
hear his new voice.
He never did get an answer as the rest of his entire body slimmed down
dramatically. All he could do was helplessly watch his hard earned
muscles slowly wither away until he looked like a scrawny twig. His legs
had lengthened a bit as his overall height shrunk, bringing him down a
few inches; his feet shrinking to a petite size. A loud groan escaped
Alex's plump lips as he felt his waist cinch inward, adding curves to
his smaller frame while his hips widened, making his butt inflate into a
cute heart shape.
The sudden changes below the waist had caused him to have an erection,
the last one he would ever have. All he could do was watch as his
glorious six inches slowly shrunk until there was no trace left but a
little nub, formerly the tip of his member, now reduced to his newfound
clit. His testes had all but disappeared back up inside his body, slowly
forming into their new roles as ovaries. The leftover skin split and
receded until they were now the outer lips of his new vagina. The rest
of her love tunnel slowly took shape as Alex struggled to stand back up.
Feeling quite nauseous she made her way to the bathroom to empty the
contents of her stomach out into the toilet.
Craig helped make sure she made it to the toilet. After all, it was the
best he could do as he was rather stunned that the camera had actually
caused this. His attention was quickly brought back to Alex who began
throwing up into the toilet, so he pulled her hair back and held it. The
shirt that Alex was wearing was clearly way too big for her now, and as
Craig held her hair back, he moved the sleeve of her shirt that was
covering up her tattoo. The tattoo that Alex tried to keep quiet about
was what appeared to be two names: Aubrey and Lauren, with a sound wave
above each name. He figured that the two names had been important ladies
in his life and something had to have happened to them.
Alex's bout of nausea lasted a few minutes before she was able to stand
up and clean herself up. Craig had left the bathroom in that amount of
time to grab her a glass of water and when he returned he noticed she
was staring at herself in the mirror.
"I'm... a woman? Holy shit I'm a chick, Craig. T-That camera actually
worked... Oh god, it actually worked," Alex began to cry as reality came
crashing down around her.
"Alex... I'm so sorry, I didn't intend for this to happen. I swear on my
life," Craig replied, feeling worried. "This isn't how I planned to
spend this mini vacation... On the bright side, if there even is one, you
still could pass off as a dude with the right amount of work."
It was as if that last bit of the transformation was linked to Craig's
words because all of a sudden two little tents began to form under
Alex's shirt, right where his chest was. They started out as tiny
mosquito bites, itchy and unnoticeable and slowly expanded and swelled,
forming plump breasts. From there they continued to grow, forming a
teardrop shape only stopping when they could only be in the DD-cup
range. Her nipples had thickened and hardened, forming two cute nubs
aching for attention, the areola's expanding outward almost to a half
dollar sized.
The new weights on her chest were no longer invisible, the neckline of
her shirt threatening to expose more than the good amount of cleavage.
As Alex moved, so did her breasts which brought on a rather odd
sensation followed by one of pain. She closed her eyes tightly as she
tentatively reached up with and grabbed her new breasts with both hands,
confirming they were real.
All Craig could do was sit down at the dining room table, his hands
holding his head up on either side as he stared wide-eyed at the table.
His thoughts were a cluster as he was sure Alex's was, only she was
having a worse of a time then he was.
Alex came out of the bathroom and slowly walked over to the table. She
wasn't sure what to do do now. She wasn't sure what to think. Seriously,
what happens now? Her mind racing, she sat at the table next to Craig.
The young lady put her head in her hands and stared at the table,
thinking and thinking and thinking. Craig looked over at her. He felt
guilty for acting so shady about it. If he hadn't done so, things would
probably be fine. He looked back at the table and the two of them sat
there in silence for the longest time.
"Hey... Alex..." Craig muttered. "I saw your tattoo... didn't mean too; I was
just trying to adjust your shirt and hold your hair back..."
Alex didn't move, but seemed to tense up some. Craig knew this was a
touchy subject with her, but there wasn't a point in hiding it now. He
had seen it and was curious.
"Who are Aubrey and Lauren? And what are the sound waves for?" he asked.
The young lady didn't look at him, but rubbed her eyes and sighed before
she spoke.
"Aubrey was my fiancee... and Lauren was our baby girl..." she muttered.
"Was?" asked Craig.
"They died... in a car accident," she croaked out. "I wasn't there... but I
wish I was... It happened a couple of years ago..."
A thick silence fell over them. Craig felt worse than before and Alex
was crying a bit. Her tears were rolling down her face and landing on
the table with a soft plop. She rubbed her eyes and wiped away the tears
before pulling the oversized sleeve off her shoulder. Craig got up and
stood next to her to get a better look.
"The sound wave above Aubrey's name is her saying 'I love you' and the
sound wave above Lauren's name is her saying 'Dada'," she said.
Craig looked at her shoulder. He couldn't see what she was talking
about. Her old tattoo wasn't there. Instead a beautiful tattoo of
realistic looking lilacs was in its place.
"Alex... I don't see it. There are lilacs..." he muttered.
Alex jumped up, nearly knocking him over. "You're joking... right? Please
tell me you're joking!" She didn't give Craig a chance to answer. The
young lady ran into the bathroom to look at her shoulder. He didn't
follow her. He felt it wasn't right. Anguished sobbing could be heard
from the bathroom.
Craig leaned on the chair she was sitting in. He didn't know what to do.
He almost started crying thinking about what Alex had told him. No
wonder she didn't want to talk about it. Even though it happened two
years ago, it was obvious that it still really affected her. The man
blinked away tears and took a deep breath to calm himself when he heard
a scream from the bathroom.
Alex screamed again. There was this severe cramping that started in her
lower abdomen that got really painful really fast. It felt like someone
had started a fire inside her. She slunk down on the floor by the tub,
unable to stretch out completely or curl up into a ball. New tears were
falling from her eyes. Craig had appeared at the door and just stood
there. He was unable to do or say anything to help.
Her stomach was pushing outward slowly, but noticeably. It picked up the
pace and stopped as it was unable to fit under her shirt any longer. She
couldn't pay much attention to it for the time being because she began
to feel really nauseous. The pain increased as she could feel her ribs
expanding slightly and her organs moving and compressing. Her breasts
felt like they were filling up, but she wasn't really focused on that. A
new heaviness was settling in her stomach and it lurched slightly as the
pain began to subside. Craig had joined her on the floor during the
ordeal.
When the pain was gone and the nausea subsided, the tears kept coming.
Alex stared at her protruding stomach. She didn't think this could get
any worse, but boy was she wrong. All this did was remind her of Aubrey
and how gorgeous she looked carrying his child. The tears fell as she
struggled to get up. Craig helped her, but she didn't thank him. Alex
walked up to the loft and lied on the bed, softly crying until she fell
asleep. Craig continued to stay on the bathroom floor.
***
A few hours had passed since the whole ordeal. Craig had eventually
stood up and left the bathroom to begin pacing around the lower half of
the cabin. He wasn't about to go disturb Alex; he knew deep down it was
best for him to leave her be. The time on the grandfather clock off in a
corner told him it was a little past one in the afternoon. His stomach
was quick to remind him that he needed food. So without much hesitation
he walked into the kitchen and began to make him a bite to eat.
He looked out the kitchen window and saw white flakes slowly falling and
littering the ground. Confused and shocked, he set down what ingredients
he had in his hands and rushed over to the couch to turn on the
television. Craig hoped that he could at least get the weather channel
despite knowing how spotty it was. By a sure chance of luck, the weather
channel popped up, a bit fuzzy, but enough that Craig could see quite
the winter storm hitting the area.
"What the fuck..." he muttered aloud as he leaned against the back of the
couch. "There was no way we could be getting snow, I've checked the
forecast at least a dozen times and there was no chance of snow," Craig
left the television on as he went and got into some warmer clothes. He
needed to grab some firewood out behind the cabin; the less electricity
they used for heat the better.
***
After quietly going back up to the loft to grab some clothes, Craig
brought them down to the living room and put them on. Now that he was
bundled up he walked over to the front door and opened it. A cold blast
of air hit him directly in the face, going past him into the cabin,
taking at least a couple degrees down with it. He hurried himself out
the door and just as quickly closing it so he didn't let in any more
cold.
As he stepped outside he closed his eyes for a few seconds so he
wouldn't be blinded by the bright white snow that had covered the
ground. When he was sure that his eyes had adjusted enough, he opened
them one at a time and made his way towards the back of the cabin. He
looked over at his car, the one that had brought them out here. There
was no way he'd be able to drive them out of here with it snowing. So
with an exaggerated sigh he continued his quest for firewood.
Craig had made a few successful trips and was now on his final trip
outside. A couple patches of ice had begun to form along the trail he
had been taking to the back of the cabin. On the way to the firewood, he
was able to avoid them with ease but on the trip back, that proved to be
rather difficult.
With the final load of firewood in hand, Craig cautiously made his way
back towards the front door. When he had reached the halfway point, his
left foot had found itself slipping on a newly formed patch of ice,
twisting his ankle as he fell to the ground. Craig cried out in pain, a
mix of cursing and berating himself for being so stupid, and the
firewood had luckily landed away from him. He continued to yell as he
tried to stand up because the pain was almost unbearable. The only thing
on his mind at this point was to get inside where it was warm and maybe
go back out for the firewood when his ankle wasn't throbbing.
Slowly he stood up, using the side of the cabin to support himself as he
tried to avoid putting any kind of weight on his left foot. It had taken
a bit longer than he would have liked, but he eventually made it to the
front door and went inside as fast as possible. Once inside and making
sure the door was closed and locked back up, he leaned against it,
sighing in relief. He was damn lucky he hadn't broken anything and he
knew it. He closed his eyes and leaned his head back against the door,
taking deep breaths as the pain from his ankle seemed to resonate
through the rest of his body.
"What was all that noise outside...? It sounded like you were in a lot of
pain," Alex said, sitting on the couch.
"Nothing, it was just nothing," Craig replied without any hesitation,
keeping his eyes closed as he spoke. "What are you doing down here, I
thought you were asleep?"
Alex told him that she was asleep until she heard a loud crash outside
and what sounded like someone yelling. She asked him if it was him, who
in turn told her no. Alex had her doubts and watched Craig slowly walk
away from the door, trying to not put any weight on his left foot.
"You slipped and fell, didn't you?" she questioned as she watched Craig
go and sit down at the dining room table.
"I-I have no idea what you're talking about... Just a slight cramp in my
leg is all," he replied, wincing in pain as he sat down.
"Mhmm just like you had no idea the camera would work and do all this to
me," Alex thought to herself as she stood up with some difficulty. She
wasn't sure she'd ever get used to this new weight concentrated in the
front of her body.
When she was sure she wouldn't fall back down into the couch, Alex made
her way over to Craig. There was a sort of waddle to her step, something
she wasn't really fond of. If it wasn't the waddle that bothered her, it
was the way her entire body seemed to move with every step. She knew
that she'd need a bra sooner than later; her breasts ached and the way
they jiggled around when she walked was driving her nuts. Don't get her
started on how she feels about her butt moving, even though she was
wearing one of her old pairs of sweatpants, she knew her backside was
probably quite the sight.
She let those thoughts subside as she pulled the chair next to Craig
away from the table and told him to prop his left foot on it. Craig just
protested again saying nothing was wrong with him and to just drop the
subject. Alex had all day but she was starting to get irritated. Craig
was obviously in pain and she had former medical experience to notice
when something was wrong with someone.
"Come on and humor me, it's the least you can do," she said waiting for
Craig to comply.
"Fine... if it'll get you to stop pestering me about it..." Craig lashed out
in response.
He slowly and as carefully as possible lifted his left leg up to the
chair, wincing the entire time. To him it was as if time was moving slow
and when he thought he had lifted his leg up enough to slide onto the
chair, he had barely lifted it at all.
"Seriously, Craig, I'm not messing around. You're really starting to
irritate me," Alex growled as she was just as tempted to grab his ankle
and set it down on the chair herself.
Craig was rather shocked, Alex had never lashed out at him before and
now it was like she was a different person. He mentally face palmed
after having that thought. Of course she was different, Alex was a young
woman who was now pregnant, all thanks to his major fuck up. So not to
upset her anymore he quickly and gently raised his foot onto the chair,
the pain of his ankle making him wince and grit his teeth.
"Hmm... yeah it's just a minor sprain. You already have some swelling but
some ice should help with that. Tell me where your first aid kit is and
I'll get you patched up," Alex said as she had been leaning over his
leg. She straightened herself and looked at Craig. "You do have a first
aid kit here, right...?"
"Yeah... of course. Under the bathroom sink, there should be a giant
medical tote full of stuff," Craig replied again wincing as he pointed
to the bathroom.
Alex just nodded and waddled over to the bathroom. Craig leaned his head
back against the back of the chair, once again closing his eyes. His
thoughts were whirling around inside his skull. He unconsciously checked
his right pocket for the keys to the safe, a smile creeping across his
lips as he felt what he assumed were them. Sliding his hand out of his
pocket, he rested both hands across his lap while he waited for Alex to
come back with the tote.
She was crouched down in the bathroom looking for the medical supplies.
If it weren't for her stomach getting in the way, the task would have
been a lot easier but she was trying to make due. Eventually she found
the tote; it was buried under some things that were in the vanity. Alex
grabbed it and pulled it out with ease. It was going good until she
tried to lift it up. It was quite heavy, which surprised her, but she
figured it was her new lack of strength. It didn't seem much like a
challenge but when she stood up, tote in hand, she about fell over
against the door.
"Stupid girly body... can't even pick up a stupid tote..." she grumbled as
she pushed herself off the door, using her butt. She used her big belly
as a support for the tote and finally walked out of the bathroom to
where Craig still was. Setting the tote down on the table, she walked
over to the kitchen to grab a rag and some ice.
"Took you long enough?" Craig said as he had watched Alex struggle with
the tote.
If looks could kill, Craig would have been six feet under. "You can fix
your own god damn ankle, I don't have to help you," Alex said as she set
the wash rag down and thought about what she was going to do next. She
stared out the kitchen window watching the snow fall.
"Calm down Alex, it was just a joke. I didn't mean anything behind it."
"You want me to calm down? You want me, of all the people in this cabin,
to calm down? It's your fault this even happened! Oh hey Alex, wanna
spend a week with your boss at his remote cabin in the wilderness?
Nothing could fucking go wrong! Instead of spending a relaxing time far
from the city, I'm now a woman and not just a woman, a pregnant woman.
All because of some stupid camera that 'supposedly' has the power to do
such a thing."
Craig was silent as Alex continued to go off on him. He deserved most of
it. If it weren't for his sudden 'interest' in the camera none of this
could have happened. But it was just a shock that the camera ended up in
Alex's bag and after hearing all the stories and legends; it was just
too good to be true.
He was caught up in his thoughts that he didn't even notice Alex was now
standing next to him. She had calmed down a bit, getting most of her
pent up frustration out. Enough that she had gotten the makeshift ice
pack made up and was trying to hand it to him.
"Would you take the thing already? I need to start preparing to wrap
your foot," Alex said as she was close to dropping the ice pack onto
Craig's lap.
Craig had finally come out of his thoughts and looked up to see a dark
red washcloth bundled up and starting to drip water. He reached up with
both hands and took it from Alex. She directed him to put it on his
ankle and to hold it there as much as possible while she tried to find
something to wrap his foot with. Craig did as he was told, wincing again
when he felt the cold of the ice touch his skin. It sent a shiver down
his spine as he quickly removed it from his ankle, giving it a few
seconds before setting it back down.
Alex was on the other side of the table where the tote sat open. She was
digging through it's contents, hoping to come across some sort of
bandage wrap, otherwise she'd have to improvise. After a few minutes of
looking and almost at the bottom of the tote, she found a roll of the
bandage tape. There was only a bit left; hopefully enough that she could
properly wrap up his ankle.
"Keep up with the ice on that ankle Craig, I wanna get the swelling down
before I get you wrapped up," Alex said as she sat down in the nearest
chair with a bit of difficulty.
"Right. So tell me exactly how you know all this medical mumbo jumbo?
Because you seem to know what you're doing," Craig replied looking over
at Alex.
"When..." she started, trying to hold back a new set of tears. "Sorry.
When Aubrey and Lauren passed I decided to spend most of my free time
being a volunteer EMT. Spent all the time taking the classes and the
training. I didn't want anyone to suffer as bad as I did..."
"Wow... So why a desk job? I mean it sounded like you had quite the
passion for being on an emergency response career."
"I was just a volunteer. It wasn't something I wanted to make a living
doing. You can't put a price on life. At least that's what my old
instructor used to tell me," Alex said with a slight smile. "Well I
think it's been long enough for some of that swelling to go down, let me
get you patched up.
Alex stood up with difficulty, using the table and chair as a balance.
She held onto each chair that she passed so she wouldn't fall. "I don't
think I'm ever going to regain my sense of balance again."
She asked Craig to move his leg so she could sit down. Alex giggled
slightly as she helped him. When his leg was in the air, she sat and
gently placed his heel on her knee. Craig stayed quiet as he watched
Alex take the wrap and carefully wrap up his ankle within a matter of
minutes.
"It's not every day that someone has to fix up their boss," she winked
while standing up and setting his foot down. "So now what?"
Craig's mind had been on at least twenty other things, none about what
they were going to do next. He kind of thought about it and asked Alex
what she thought.
"I'm not quite sure either... I can't exactly go back as Alex... Ugh... My
entire life has to change if we can't get me changed back to normal.
That camera, is there a track record for people turning back to normal
if it's used on them again?" Alex asked.
There wasn't an immediate reply as Craig thought about it. He couldn't
exactly recall there being any stories about the camera fixing what it
had caused. Craig wasn't about to actually try it; there was a feeling
in the bottom of his gut that they should avoid using the camera again.
"I've never heard of anyone having successful results, I think you got
lucky with what happened to be honest..."
Alex had been sitting on the edge of the couch, her hands unconsciously
resting on her pregnant stomach. "Ashlyn."
"Uhh what?"
"My new name. I told you, I can't go back as Alex because I don't look
like him. So I'm taking it upon myself to give me a new name. I've
always been told my folks that if I had been born a girl that's what
they would have called me..."
Craig nodded. He thought the name fit her rather well, though he wasn't
exactly sure why she was so up front about changing her name. Alex was a
gender neutral name as far as he was concerned, but if it's what she
wanted then he'd just have to accept it.
"So I got us a pile of firewood over by the fireplace... My intention was
to get a fire started so we could conserve the power of the generator to
just the basic appliances. I don't expect you to worry about it because
you're..." Craig began to say before getting cut off by Alex.
"Excuse me? Just because I'm now a pregnant woman doesn't mean I'm
freaking helpless you, you... Ugh," Ashlyn replied as she walked over to
the fireplace. She grabbed a log at a time and placed them in the
fireplace and grabbed some newspaper nearby. Within a couple minutes she
had a nice sized fire going. The fire was already starting to warm up
the place.
She looked over at Craig with a 'I told you so' look and went over to
the couch. Ashlyn was fuming once again. "It's like he doesn't even know
what I'm going through..." she thought.
"You know ever since this morning you've been acting like a complete and
total..." Craig stopped himself before letting the last word slip out.
"Are you serious? Look at me, Craig! I have every reason to be a
complete and total bitch. My entire existence is basically ruined
because of your fuck up."
"Thank you for reminding me once again! I know I fucked up alright, you
don't have to constantly keep reminding me. I mean for a few minutes I
thought we were actually getting along but I can see that went out the
window."
"Yeah we were, but then you had to open your mouth and treat me like I'm
some princess who needs saving. The only one who needs saving is you,
Mr. I Sprained my Ankle. I-I..." Ashlyn stopped as she felt something in
her stomach. The feeling went away just as quickly as it appeared.
Whatever it had been made her lose her train of thought.
"I'm starting to regret every inviting you out here Alex. If it weren't
for the god damned snow I'd have dropped your ass off back at your house
and forget this even happened. For the upteenth time I'm sorry for what
I did to you. It was an accident that I can't take back. I have the
damned thing locked up just so none of us would have to see it."
"Wait, what do you mean you have it locked in a safe?" Ashlyn demanded
as she got up from the couch and started walking over to Craig.
"I'm pretty sure I didn't stutter. The camera is locked up in the safe
in the kitchen. It's been there since this morning after you took a
nap."
"Well get it out because we're officially getting rid of the thing and
then..."
The feeling had come back, whatever it was. It was like something was
moving around and the feeling was getting stronger and more intense. She
stumbled a bit as she walked closer to Craig. Her expression must have
said it all because Craig looked at her funny.
"Oh god... It feels like something is just kicking my insides... Oh my god
this hurts..." Ashlyn cried out as she started tearing up.
Whatever was happening to Ashlyn was scaring the ever living crap out of
her and hurting her. She had barely made it to one of the chairs by the
table and propped herself against it.
"What the hell Ash?" Craig asked, not quite sure what was going on with
her. "This better be some kind of joke..."
"This isn't a joke Craig... I-I think it's the baby... Oh god... That means
I'm actually pregnant..." Ashlyn sobbed as the dams in her eyes let loose.
"The baby? Wait... the camera actually made you pregnant?! Holy shit
Ashlyn..." was all Craig could say as he tried to stand up from his chair.
He took a deep breath as he gently stepped down on his left foot. His
ankle started throbbing, but it wasn't bad enough that he couldn't
handle it. He hobbled his way over to Ashlyn as fast as he could. Craig
wrapped an arm around her and led her back over to the couch.
It took longer than they both anticipated. Ashlyn would stop every
couple steps as the baby kicked, sending pain all through her body. Each
time she stopped, Craig would just hold her until the baby had decided
to stop for a bit and would continue to inch their way over. When they
had made it to the couch, Craig moved the throw pillows and had her lie
down. Ashlyn didn't protest as she lied down on her back, propped up a
bit by some of the pillows. She took deep breaths while Craig sat next
to her, ready to help her out as much as possible.
"I'm sorry Ash and I'm not apologizing because you're in pain either. I
think us fighting has put too much stress on your body and it's
effecting the baby..." Craig said softly not wanting to believe the
possibility of her actually being pregnant.
Only silence followed between the two as Ashlyn was thinking about all
the things she's heard of what women usually do in this kind of
situation. She searched her brain, filtering through all the television
and movies she had watched, hoping for something to tell her the answer
she desperately needed. Not having much luck she asked Craig if he knew
what to do. When he shrugged and told him he had no clue she was ready
to scream.
"I think you just have to wait it out... I mean I'm not an expert on these
kind of things so don't take my words for granted," he muttered while
watching Ashlyn.
"Very... reassuring," was all Ashlyn said as she felt the movements start
to slow and not hurt as much. It was enough to bring a smile to her
face. In the spur of the moment she grabbed one of Craig's hands and put
it on her belly where the baby had been kicking, just so he had the
chance to feel it before it went away. Craig was about to ask what the
hell she was doing but stopped when he felt the baby kick against where
she had put his hand.
Craig just looked at her with a shocked expression. She had let go of
his hand so he could move it if he wanted, her face was bright red from
embarrassment. Ashlyn just shrugged and tried to hide her face with her
shirt that was still too big for her. All it did was make Craig start
laughing which in turn made her start laughing. The two couldn't stop
even if they wanted to. They weren't fighting and it was good enough for
them.
***
The next day had started on a better note than the previous day. Both
Craig and Ashlyn woke up feeling rather refreshed and ready to go about
their business. Craig had brought up that they should probably try and
find something more fitting for Ashlyn so she had "support" in certain
areas and wasn't having to wear her old clothing that barely fit. She
agreed since she was wearing the same pair of sweatpants from yesterday
and a dark blue short sleeve that barely covered her belly.
Craig had the brilliant idea of looking through the dressers in hopes
that some previous ladies he had brought with him over the years had
left something behind. While he was busy with that, Ashlyn just sat at
the edge of her bed and watched. There wasn't a lot she could do and
Craig insisted she just sit. As much as she wanted to argue about being
treated like she was helpless again, she decided not having a repeat of
yesterday was more important.
"Huzzah! I think I found something...?" Craig said with rejoice as he
pulled out a lacy pair of bright blue panties. "Umm..."
He threw it on the bed next to Ashlyn and tried to act like it was
nothing. He went back to searching for more hand me downs. Ashlyn picked
it up with a disgusted look on her face, "There is no way in hell I'm
wearing this...," She just let it drop next to her and went back to
watching Craig who managed to pull out a bra that was clearly way too
small for what she had. He jokingly held it up to his chest and asked
her what she thought.
"Ha those aren't going to fit these puppies..." she stated while grabbing
her breasts and lifting them up. "I mean they would, but it's probably
going to be just as uncomfortable. I've heard a lot of women complain
about that kind of stuff, especially Aubrey..." Ashlyn started to tear up
at the thought of her former girlfriend. She wanted to blame the
hormones but she knew it wasn't just that. Her thoughts were all focused
on the old memories of her and Aubrey and it just brought on the
waterworks more.
"You okay, Ash? Did I say something wrong...?" asked Craig who seemed to
be genuinely worried. "If I did I didn't mean to upset you."
She shook her head no and wiped the tears out of her eyes, trying to
think of happy thoughts that didn't pertain to Aubrey or Lauren. Instead
her mind seemed to latch onto each thought and hold onto them for dear
life as if she'd forget them. Ashlyn knew deep down that she never
really got over the fact that they were gone, it was just buried deep
and locked away. That is until she was suddenly turned into a pregnant
woman.
Craig had left the loft area since to him it looked like Ashlyn wanted
to be alone. They had already ate breakfast which consisted of cereal
and a couple slices of toast with butter and jam. He went and sat down
at the dining room table and pulled out his phone knowing they wouldn't
have any signal. It was one of those new fancy smartphones that had been
out for quite some time. One of the better perks of being the head of
his office. He had a couple of games on it to pass the time, so he
started one up. Craig could hear the silent sobs coming from above and
chose to ignore them. Grabbing a pair of earbuds he drowned out the
unwanted noise.
His thoughts were in a drift, going back to yesterday. It got to a point
where it was distracting him from his game. Getting frustrated he turned
off his phone and set it down on the table, taking both earbuds out. He
didn't hear anymore sobbing coming from the loft and thought that Ashlyn
must have calmed down. There wasn't a prayer's chance that he was going
back up there.
"This is going to be a long rest of the week..." he muttered to no one in
particular. Craig stood up from the table and went over to the couch. At
first he was sitting down and eventually he had fell over and was lying
down. A few minutes later he was asleep with his left foot propped up.
"Hey Craig I have an idea for my clothes issue..." Ashlyn began to say as
she walked down the steps noticing he was asleep. She quieted down and
decided to go looking for the camera. Her idea was to use the camera to
hopefully change her clothes so they'd fit. It was a pretty fool proof
plan. All she knew was that the camera was locked up in a safe somewhere
in the kitchen. As quietly as possible, she went looking through every
cabinet and drawer in the kitchen, making sure not to make any loud
noises. The last thing she wanted to do was wake up Craig.
The last cabinet that she checked held the prize she was looking for. It
was the kind of safe that you'd normally see in a hotel, in all it's
grey glory. Ashlyn noticed that the lock was one of those new dimple
locks that were supposedly unpickable and she knew Craig had the key.
She frowned, the last thing she wanted to do was cause even more
problems between her and Craig but she really needed clothes.
Almost tiptoeing out of the kitchen and past the dining room Ashlyn went
back up the loft. Craig had tossed his clothes from yesterday next to
the dresser. She squatted down to grab his jeans. Digging her small
hands through the pockets, coming across nothing. She sighed and sat
down on the edge of the bed, not even noticing that Craig had come up
the stairs and had watched her. His jeans were still in her hands.
"Mind telling me what you're doing with my jeans? They won't fit you if
that's what you were trying to do," Craig said as he walked up the last
couple steps so he was now in the loft.
"Where are the keys to the safe?" she asked looking over at him the
jeans slipping from her hands. "I need it..."
Craig had cut her off demanding she tell him what she was even thinking,
"I locked that thing away so it wouldn't cause any more issues. What
ever cocky-brained idea you came up with better be worthwhile to make
yourself look so suspicious. Were you going to use it on me? As a way of
getting back at me?"
The accusations just never seemed to end as Ashlyn yelled back at him
that she needed clothes. She couldn't keep going on wearing the same
pair of sweats and a shirt that was clearly way too big for her. The
list kept up as she told him how difficult it is to have her boobs
swinging wildly with about every step and sometimes it was even starting
to hurt. Ashlyn was trying to stay calm and not get so worked up, so she
stood up and went downstairs where she wouldn't be around Craig.
"Where are you going?" yelled Craig as he watched her go right past him
down the stairs.
He was fuming but he took a few deep breaths to calm himself. The last
thing he wanted to do was cause another episode for Ash. Craig stood
there for a bit digging his hands in his pockets, his right hand coming
across a set of keys. Without a moments hesitation he pulled them out
and only saw his car keys and the key to the cabin.
"Oh no..." he said aloud as his mind started racing trying to think of
where the keys to the safe had gone. Trying not to panic, Craig walked
down the stairs as if nothing wasn't wrong and increased his pace when
he reached the bottom step. Walking over to the dining room table he
looked under and around it in case it had slipped out of his pockets. He
stopped and thought about it for a moment and remembered when he had
slipped on the ice, the keys to the safe must have fell out of his
pocket. Craig grabbed his jacket hanging up on a hook by the front door
when Ashlyn asked him what he was doing.
"Going to grab some fresh air," he lied as he opened the door and was
out.
"Be careful..." Ashlyn tried to say as he went out the door. She just
sighed and decided to try and relax.
***
Ashlyn groaned. She had decided to get away from all the bad vibes and
take a shower to relieve stress. So, here she was, standing in the
bathroom. Honestly, she didn't want to undress and see what her body
looked like naked. I mean, normally she would, but she wanted to forget
everything that happened and treat herself to a hot shower. Undressing
proved cumbersome because of her pregnant belly, but she managed and sat
on the side of the tub while adjusting the water.
The water felt phenomenal against her skin. The knots in her shoulders
were eased out by the massaging droplets and she stood under the spray
for a few minutes before tending to her hair. Ash worked in the shampoo,
then rinsed, before spreading conditioner through her hair. She was
pleased, so far. As she lathered up a shower pouf with her favorite body
wash, she wondered how she was going to shave her legs.
It wasn't extremely difficult to do so. She nicked her legs a fair few
times, though there wasn't much blood, which she was grateful for. She
fumbled around with her armpits and managed to get them stubble free. A
rather... different thought entered her mind. Should she shave her lady
bits? She cautiously reached down to touch the area and get a feel for
how much hair was there. It didn't seem like much, thank God, because
Ashlyn was afraid of doing permanent damage to such a tender area. She
set the razor aside and got back under the water.
The young lady rinsed her body off and washed the conditioner out of her
hair. The water was still pretty hot, so she lingered underneath and let
it cascade down her. This body wasn't so bad after all, until... she moved
slightly and the downpour was massaging one of her nips and making it
tender. The sensation was different and Ash was really focusing on it
instead of how good the water felt overall. She didn't want to move,
even when a new sensation grew between her legs.
Since she was alone, it couldn't hurt to see what it felt like, right?
With a nervous hand, she gently started rubbing the other nipple. It was
just as sensitive as the other and it immediately sent tingles through
her upper body. She shivered slightly at the different feeling she was
experiencing. After a little bit, she cupped her breasts and gave them a
gentle squeeze. A slight moan escaped her lips, but it wasn't audible
enough for her to realize what she did. She gave another slight squeeze
and moved on to her nipples again. Ash pinched them and rubbed them and
rolled them between thumb and forefinger. The feelings between her legs
grew and pulsated as it begged to be touched.
The young lady was trying to hold off on delving into her womanhood, but
it was so hard, considering she wouldn't leave her breasts alone. After
much deliberation and with a shaky hand, she reached down and slipped a
finger or two inside her. Ash gasped at the warmth and wetness of her
vagina. It certainly was a different experience from this side. She
maneuvered her fingers around a bit, exploring her depths. She sort of
found her sweet spot, but lost it after a few seconds; she'd have to
continue masterbating to further learn what feels good and what doesn't.
Ashlyn pulled her fingers out and looked at them, really considering
seeing what she tastes like. She hesitated too long and that curiosity
left her rather quickly.
Instead, she felt around for her clit. When she found the little nub,
the young lady rubbed it with her fingers and that amazing feeling began
working its way through her. As the feeling grew, her fingers worked
quicker. Soft, gentle moans escaped from between her lips, but they got
louder as the feeling overwhelmed her. Sometime during her playtime, she
slipped her fingers back into her vagina and began working them, too.
Just as she was about to reach orgasm, Craig came knocking at the door.
"Are you alright in there?" he asked. "It's been over an hour and I need
to shower, too. Ya know, if you need help, you could have asked. We
could have figured something out."
Ashlyn froze and managed to stammer out a reply. Did he know what she
was doing? Was she being that loud? Those questions were pushed aside as
invading thoughts of him pleasuring her captured her attention. She
could feel blush color her cheeks bright red as she frantically tried to
think of something else. It didn't matter what she tried to think about
next, those thoughts came back. Ash quickly finished up her shower and
tried so hard not to think of him in that way as she dried off and got
dressed. She had no idea what made her change her mind about him. She
felt guilty that she wanted him to sex her up, especially because she
didn't know if she had any other feelings for him.
***
While Ashlyn was busy in the shower Craig had gone outside looking for
the keys. He was really glad he bundled up because the wind was blowing,
sending snowflakes to go all over the place. "Just great, it's still
snowing. At this rate we're going to be stuck here a lot longer than
planned," he thought to himself as he grabbed the railing attached to
the steps. He slowly made his way down the 3 steps, making sure he
wouldn't slip and being extra careful with his sprained ankle.
In the past couple days since he had his accident, his tracks had been
covered by the never ending snow. In fact, there was at least a couple
more inches since the last time he had been outside. If Craig were to
take a guess, he'd say there was close to 4 or 5 inches of snow. There
was no way they'd be able to drive out of here anytime soon. Luckily,
they had more than enough food and supplies to last them.
He immediately regretted not putting on some coveralls or something with
thicker padding as he took the first step off the steps. Some snow had
sunk into his shoes and soaked his socks. Craig cursed out loud and
started walking towards where he thought he had slipped and fell. The
mix of the cold air and snow made his trek feel like hours had gone by
when only a few minutes had passed.
When he had finally made it to where he was absolutely sure he had fell,
he slowly got down on his knees and started moving snow with his hands.
In the midst of things he realized it would have been much easier to
just use a shovel, but it was too late for that now. Finally after maybe
fifteen minutes in the snow, Craig had found the key. For the first time
since a long time Craig was extremely happy. He wasted no time standing
back up and making his way back to the cabin.
***
Once Craig was inside, he immediately stripped out of his soaking wet
clothes and changed into some fresh ones. Afterwards he went over to the
stone fireplace and got a fire going, something he should have done that
morning. When the fire was blazing, Craig grabbed his wet clothes and
laid them out near the fire so they would dry rather quickly and not get
singed.
He sat by the fireplace to warm himself up with the key to the safe in
hand. He looked over at it as if it were the first time he had ever seen
such a thing. His thoughts drifted over to the camera that was locked
away and then to Ashlyn's need of some new clothes. She had already
wanted to use the camera for the same purpose and it just ended up with
them fighting.
He stood up from the fireplace and walked over to the kitchen. Carefully
squatting down he opened the cabinet that contained the safe and stuck
the key into the lock. Twisting it slowly to the right, he heard the
click sound, which brought a huge sense of relief as he pulled the safe
door open. There inside the safe was the camera just as he had left it.
Craig couldn't help but smile and grabbed it and closed the safe door so
he could get the cabinet door shut.
"I hope this works..." he muttered to himself as he briskly walked up to
the loft.
As he trudged upstairs, camera in hand, he looked it over and was amazed
at how good it looked despite having fallen from the loft area. The
young man set the camera down on his bed and went rummaging through the
dresser over on Ashlyn's side. He pulled out some red boxer briefs by
the elastic band and set it down on the bed. Grabbing the camera, Craig
aimed the lens down at the underwear and pressed the button.
The flash engulfed them and in mere seconds the briefs had changed into
a pair of frilly pink panties. A big smile spread across his face; it
was more from shock than anything. He was just amazed that it had
actually worked. Craig grabbed more clothes out of the dresser until
everything that Ashlyn had brought was on the bed. Stepping back, he
looked through the lens of the camera, making sure every bit of the
clothes were in it.
Without wasting any more precious seconds, he snapped a picture of the
clothes, watching them get bathed in the flash of light. Like the boxer
briefs, they too changed into their female counterparts. The shirts
turned into l
