-Part Two-
-Burning Behind-
Ruth was at the doorway of his new room while Marcus stood near the
small dresser as he snapped at her.
"You fucking psycho bitch you're as bad as that evil cunt Harry!"
"I'm not going to play families with you two sick lunatics so you can
just get it out of your fucking dense skull. I'm not your daughter and I
never will be!" His little voice sounding almost hysterical as he stood
up to Ruth.
"I'm not Felicity! I'm Marcus! I'm a twenty two year old man so you can
start fucking treating me like one for fucks sake!" Marcus shouted in
his wavering voice.
"If you think you can talk to me like that, you can think again little
Missy," Ruth said walking slowly towards Marcus with measured purpose.
"You need to learn that your place in the world has changed for now my
little one, and I can only think of one kind of lesson that might just
stick," she said, a grim smile playing at the edges of her mouth.
"The Fuck, are you talking about Ruth?" he asked warily backing away as
she moved toward him.
"I'm talking about teaching you the importance of keeping your cover as
Felicity at all times," she said bending down to Marcus's new height,
"and I told you to stop calling me Ruth," her relatively small five foot
three frame towering over his four and a bit feet tall one.
"As far as the rest of the world is concerned, I'm your mother and
you're my daughter for now Felicity, and you need to learn to act like
it whether you want to or not," she said, her voice humourless, clinical
and forceful.
"So I'm going to teach you your new place my girl," Ruth firmly grabbed
Marcus by the arm and pulled him towards the bed.
"What? No! Fuck off Ruth! This isn't funny," Marcus cried out as he was
tugged towards the bed, his efforts to fight back almost pointless as
his diminutive light weight frame was simply not able to do anything
much to fight against even a small female adult.
"Mum, not Ruth and this is not a joke!" she told him as she pulled him
closer.
She sat heavily down on the edge of the fourposter bed, and pulled
Marcus easily across her lap.
"No don't! Don't even think about it Ruth!" he cried as he realised what
was happening.
Marcus struggled but Ruth overcame his flailing arms with ease.
Effortlessly she held both his tiny arms against his back and with the
other hand.
"Don't Ruth, just..OK, Mother alright? Mother! Just don't hi-"
Ruth ignored his protests as she spanked him soundly across the buttocks
three times.
"Fuuuck, Owww! Stop, Stop! Wahhh" his cursing turning instead into
girlish sobs. Ruth had just thrown him over her lap and he had been
helpless to do anything about it and then she had spanked him like a
little god damned kid! This can not be happening!
Then she lifted him bodily from her lap and placed him back on his tiny
feet before her, eye to eye as Marcus stood in front of the sitting
Ruth. With his small size and light weight carbon skeletal modifications
she was able to manhandle him into almost any position with amazing
ease.
She firmly held his shoulders and looked into his eyes as Marcus rubbed
his assaulted behind with both hands while unwanted tears welled up from
the radiating pain.
"You will be a good girl won't you Felicity?" she asked.
"Please don't do this Ruth I swear I-"
With frightening speed, Ruth dropped her right hand off his sholder and
gave his buttock a swift smack from the side.
"Mum, Mummy or Mother, not Ruth."
"Oww!"
"You will obey your mother, and you will do everything I say until this
is all over," Ruth said talking over his pleading.
"You will learn to be a proper young lady, and you will learn to behave
like a model child. Do I make myself clear young lady?"
Ruth was in full mother mode enjoying the complete power she had over
this tiny feminised man. Calling him 'young lady' had certainly rung her
bell and she squeezed her legs together savouring it as she continued to
discipline the little girl shaped man in her lap.
She could sense him trying to muster up the courage to keep fighting,
but her physical domination over his new smaller frame had taken a lot
of the fight out of him. She pulled him around easily and smacked his
behind again. Moroder has sapped him of anything approaching the
strength he would need to resist her.
"Well Missy, I'm waiting, I asked you if that was clear?" Ruth asked
again, holding onto Marcus by his little wrist. She could feel her clit
standing at attention as she spanked the feminised man.
"What? Wait! Ruth you can't do this to me!" Marcus pleaded with fear
creeping into his voice. He had not been struck by anyone since he was
three. Ruth again pulled him over her lap with breathtaking ease.
"You will be a Good girl and you will obey your Mother," Ruth repeated
striking Marcus's tiny round derriere twice more for emphasis.
"Have I made myself clear?" she asked, her hand hovering in the air
ready to smack him once more. Marcus lay speechless and helpless over
her lap. A further protest was on his lips but he feared the sharp
retort to his behind if he vocalised it.
"If you think that hurt, just wait till I pull down your pants and
panties and spank your bare behind Missy," she warned.
"Yes! Yes! It's Clear!" he bawled as his small bare bottom continued to
radiate pain. He squirmed helpless trying to get out of her lap.
"What's clear?" Ruth asked triumphantly.
"I..I'll..." Marcus tried to remain defiant but his stinging bum let him
know where that would get him.
"Well?" Ruth prompted him.
"I'll be a good girl."
"And?"
"And I'll obey my,.Mu... Mother," he said in surrender, his voice
catching as he tried to hold back tears. Ruth decided it was worth
another little push before she let him off.
"Hmm, That's not too bad," She said like she was critiquing his
penmanship."But let's hear a single 'Mummy', just for me OK?" She asked
brightly.
Marcus looked into her eyes at the matronly woman sitting expectantly
before him on the childish bed they had bought for him. It was clear she
was enjoying this and it was equally clear he had absolutely no way to
fight against her. With a deep breath he responded.
"Mumm-"
"No," Ruth interjected. "The whole thing please."
Marcus let out a defeated sigh.
"I'll be a good girl...and I'll obey my Mummy," he said quietly.
"That's all I needed to hear Felicity. Thank you," Ruth said instantly
releasing him, letting him stand and pulling him into her bosom for a
firm hug and a kiss on his crown. Marcus blinked in astonishment how
quickly she had flicked from angry spanking Mother to this loving Mummy
act.
"You will get used to this new life in time Felicity. You'll see," Ruth
said holding his shoulders and looking into his small face. She had been
taller than him by an inch or so, but with her sitting on the bed and
him standing before her, they were almost eye to eye. He had no choice
but to comply with her rules for now and play the role of Felicity, the
child she wanted him to be.
"You will learn to pass yourself off as a good girl and a good daughter
until it becomes second nature. And maybe, just maybe, you will learn to
forgive me one day for what I have done."
Marcus couldn't bring himself to respond. Ruth was obviously fucking
insane and he was at her mercy.
"Now you get settled in and I'll make us both a nice dinner," she said
as she stood up and walked out of his bedroom.
Her room he thought to himself, not his. This was not Marcus's room at
all. It belonged to that Felicity girl that Ruth was trying to make him
become. Rubbing his still tender arse from the beating Ruth had
inflicted on him he went over to the bed and lay face down pulling one
of the pink pillows over his head as if to try and block out the world
he was now stuck in.
How the hell could his world have come to this? OK he had fucked up on
the heist, of that there was no denial. But how had being on the run for
killing a cop turned into taking on a girl child alias and being spanked
by Ruth? For all the 'safety from Eyenet' talk from Harry and Ruth, he
just knew that Harry had done this to him on purpose as some kind of
sick joke. Surely a new face and a limp would have been more than enough
to keep him hidden from the AI trackers. This enforced childhood only
made any sense if you assumed Harry and Ruth were insane psychopaths
making up bullshit to justify the feminised travesty Moroder had made of
his body.
After a prolonged time under the pillow trying to pull himself together,
Marcus threw the pillow against a wall in an extremely ineffectual
tantrum and turned over on the bed, feeling pain as he sat on his
recently spanked rear and pushed himself carefully up right. He pulled
himself together enough to walk into the small lounge room and turned on
the TV looking immediately for his preferred news feed to lose himself
in. The problems of the world were far removed from his own and was his
preferred method of distraction in times of stress.
Marcus sat in shock as he watched the news, his old face stared back at
him from the screen. He was a wanted man, a national fugitive, and the
search for him had been stepped up. His face from the body cam stared
back at him from the TV as well as recent ones the police had sourced
from social media, and some he knew only his mother had. His heart
heaved at the thought of his Mum and Dad being interviewed by police.
And then briefly he thought of how they would react seeing him now and
tried to think of anything else. He could picture the disgust and
disappointment his Dad would feel all too easily.
And then he watched an in depth piece on the literally superhuman
ability of the Police tracking AI using Eyenet. They described in detail
how AI could identify a person by movement alone with under 4 seconds of
footage to go on once it was trained with enough video of the target.
That in essence only 7 data points were needed to make a 99% likely
identification of a tracked individual.
He felt like ice water was running down his back. The reality of his
situation hit him hard and he could feel the weight of it bearing down
on him. For the first time since waking up in that clinic, Marcus was
actually thankful for the radical nature of the surgery. Apart from
having his fucking cock replaced with a vagina that is.
He turned to Ruth sitting next to him and said in a voice filled with
despair. "I can't believe it. I'm the most wanted man in the fucking
country. How the fuck did this happen?"
He buried his small face in his hands and rubbed his tired eyes with his
palms. Ruth wrapped a comforting arm around Marcus's shoulder.
"I know it's hard Sweety, but we'll get through this together. We have a
plan and we just need to stick to it," she said, and for a moment Marcus
actually derived some comfort from her embrace, crazy though she was. It
had only been a matter of 6 or 7 hours since they had left the clinic
and almost all of it had been some version of hell for him and And he
relaxed into her hug. Ruth's heartbeat rose as Marcus nestled into her
unbidden, just like a little child. She gently patted his shoulder and
pulled him in a little closer.
And he let her. Less than 2 hours ago this woman had held him on her lap
and spanked him into submission, and now she was coddling him like a
mother bird. And he was letting her. What the fuck was wrong with him?
"Once the heat subsides and it's safe enough you'll be able to get a new
identity from Moroder, something closer to the real you, and this will
all be over," Ruth said trying to cheer up the tiny little man in his
cute denim overalls.
"Whatever you want Honey, taller, stronger, new dick, bigger dick, maybe
even bigger tits, Your call," she joked although Marcus was not
laughing. "Doctor Moroder is an accommodating genius so long as you're
paying him his going rate."
Marcus just sighed and continued to watch his old face on the TV with
Ruth sat holding him. With mirrors only reflecting back what that doctor
had done to him, the evening news was now his only opportunity to see
his real self again.
A few hours later as street lights shone against a darkening evening
sky, Marcus was still sitting in the living room, trying to avoid
dealing with his new life as a young girl by binge watching the
detonation of his old one broadcast globally. Rubber necking his own
fatal car crash of a life. He was concentrating forcefully on the news
on the search, interviews with family and associates. He had only awoken
earlier that day but It was almost a month since the job and the media
were still heavily rotating the story, even with nothing new to report.
The public seemed divided about his fate, half thought he must be dead
in the face of the powerful AI's abilities to spot fugitives with
alarming speed, but there were a lot that insisted he was alive and
living it up overseas. Fuck he wished they could have been right.
Some viral undercurrent of the public was identifying positively with an
armed gang able to successful evade the ever more intrusive government
monitors. And in the face of it becoming a self feeding media frenzy,
the police manhunt was still at full strength and showed no signs of
ending till he was caught. He had become an irritant in the smooth
running system and from beat cop to police commissioner they loathed his
apparent success at evading justice.
His fellow street racers were laying low trying to avoid being connected
to him, he was too hot to even acknowledged by them as existing, A
couple of his street racing gang had been door stopped, but they weren't
answering questions. He recognised a few try hards he had smashed on
night circuits giving their two cents worth about him like they knew a
damned thing about him.
He'd become a god damned celebrity and he was completely unable to enjoy
it. He cringed with ear burning embarrassment as he though what the
media circus would be if he was ever captured looking like this.
Even Kim had been interviewed. He hadn't seen her in nearly a year as
they broke up Christmas before last. But he could still picture her legs
spread invitingly in the back of her Rivian camper and him going down on
her, her scent filling his nostrils, as she spoke to the reporter on TV
describing him as a nice guy. "A bit immature and secretive but still
kinda hot."
Kim still thinks I'm hot at least. He thought to himself as a grin made
it's way unnoticed to his face for the first time since before he had
been through Moroder's Clinic. God she was still hot he thought to
himself as he studied her perfect tits, the news cameraman had nicely
framed them as the field reporter asked her inane questions. He let his
mind wander back to the days when he and Kim were at it like rabbits. He
pictured her slender back as he bent her over the counter top and took
her from behind in her kitchen. The warm delicious memory of burying his
cock deep inside her as she came, and he felt his transplanted groin
tingling with the memories of how wild she was in the sack. A phantom
hard on was growing along with a hot prickling sensation he had never
felt before which he tried to stamp on.
No. He shifted in his seat uneasily as he felt a silent humming deep
between his legs. Doctor Moroder had said his transplanted genitals
would need a few more days to fully heal and connect the last of the
nerves. Fuck I hope they don't heal much more, he thought. It's already
felt overwhelming.
Control yourself Marcus, do not let them get to you. He closed his eyes
and tried to clear his mind with a few measured breaths.
Harry burst in the front door bellowing "Daddy's home!" Making Marcus
almost leap up guiltily from the feeling that had been building from the
traitorous thing in his pants. At least that smug fuckers face was
working like an ice cold shower on his troubling libido.
Harry laughed at the sight of him. "Wow Ruth, you weren't kidding about
the difference clothes make," he cackled, taking in Marcus's long blonde
hair in an Alice band and the little girls overall's hanging off his
petite frame.
"I'm home princess, come give Daddy a hug," Harry said half squatting
down in front of Marcus and holding his arms out almost as wide as his
grin like he was a TV Dad.
"Fuck off Harry," Marcus said curtly not moving from the couch.
Ruth rolls her eyes, used to Harry's antics. "Cut it out Harry, we have
work to do."
But Harry couldn't contain his amusement. "I can't believe it. Marcus
you make such an adorable little girl though, seriously man. I don't
think Eyenet has a snowballs chance of spotting you," Harry said with
satisfaction.
"Felicity not Marcus," Ruth corrected him.
"Oh shit, yeah, sorry Ruth. I meant to say, Felicity makes an adorable
little girl. My bad."
Marcus glared at Harry, his anger boiling over. "You think this is
funny? You have no idea what it's like. It's not like a fake ID. It's
hard to adjust to what is practically a new body, especially when I look
a god damned little kid Harry!"
"You're a natural at the 'whiny little girl' thing Kiddo, you sure you
hadn't already been practising in your spare time before Moroder did his
work?" Harry teased.
"I reiterate, 'Fuck Off!' Harry. All the fucking way off."
Harry laughed unfazed by Marcus's outburst, if not actively enjoying it.
"Relax Felicity, it's all part of the job. And speaking of jobs, I've
got a new one for us. A big score at the Museum of Fine Arts. They've
got a new exhibit of priceless jewels coming through on tour and I've
scoped out the perfect way in."
As Harry laid out the details of the heist, Marcus couldn't help but
feel a twinge of excitement. This was the life he knew, the life he was
good at. The actual thrill of the work was a buzz he rarely spoke of,
but if he was honest, it was that buzz that kept him working as much as
the money. But as he looked down at his small hands, he couldn't shake
the feeling of unease. Could he pull this off as a young girl? Would he
even want to?
As they sat at the kitchen table, Harry pulled up a satellite map of the
museum on the desk top projector showing detailed floor plans and a 3D
extrapolation of the secure vaults.
"Right" he said bringing his hands together for a meaty clap to indicate
the start of his presentation. "So the beauty of this job is we won't
have to sell it, we are stealing on consignment. By appointment as it
were. Super fortunate for us, its government work so it pays huge. Not
allowed to officially say which one, but it's one of the big ones. 31
million three ways for a bit over 10 each. To be deposited in global
accounts based in Neo Delhi."
"There are some pieces of significant national importance to the client
and they have decided that rather than wait another century asking in
international courts if pretty please with fucking chocolate sprinkles
on top, could the National Museum return the fucking stones, they will
go a less diplomatic route."
"Now you can both take an educated guess who we are working for, and
well done you for doing so. But I'm not confirming nor denying a thing,"
He said
"So moving on to the actual work and the taregt zone will be the yearly
cultural showcase right here in the city. The Korgan Museum has a
cultural arts program staged on the premises and a local institution,
Madam Dubois's Ballet Studio, will be performing during the travelling
exhibits brief residency in town. Getting access to her ballet troupe
secures us access to the building.
We'll have a perfectly safe way to get the goods out, Felicity can just
stuff them down her leotard and simply walk out the door, the floor
security is super tight, but not even the secret service would strip
search prepubescent girls," Harry grinned wolfish at Marcus. "Nah just
kidding Short Stuff, but we will be relying on child privacy laws to
obscure the switch."
Marcus wordlessly held a central digit up to Harry without making eye
contact.
"So here's the deal," Harry continued. "The ballet recital will be our
entry point. The girls' change room shares a wall with the security
server. This provides direct physical access to the museum's security
system. There's actually the mainframe fibre running along the change
room wall before tunnelling into the server room, Marcus, you'll be able
to patch into it from the change room just before the performance using
a mosquito plug. Just stab it into the fibre bundle sort of straightish
and the nano wires will worm their way in. That will give us an entry
point so I can inject some spoofware to make it think everything is
super peachy fine while I'm walking around tripping multiple sensors at
once.
While the showcase performance is on, I will slip away from the
audience, I'll walk into the opened display case, snatch the pieces and
exit. Ruth will leave 5 minutes before I do to secure the preped Go car.
We'll both be gone before the performance finishes.
By the time the performance is done they will have the system back up
again they will discover the exhibit is missing and security lock downs
will go into effect. There's a chance the spoofware will keep the
internal security protocols busy till its done, but I wouldn't bank on
it. I plan to be in and out in less than 3 minutes and in the car with
Ruth under 5.
But if or rather, when the alarms trigger then you just have to stay in
lock down with the troupe while the police go into their containment
protocols. It shouldn't take them more than an hour to let the
performers and audience leave the premises. Then when you get changed,
you simply walk out with the rest of the dance troupe."
Ruth nodded, her eyes gleaming with excitement. "We'll need to start
preparing right away," she said. "The heist is six weeks from now, so we
don't have a lot of time."
Marcus sat there in shock, his heart sinking as he realised what was
being asked of him. "You want me to pretend to do ballet?" he stammered,
feeling a mix of embarrassment and shame wash over him.
Harry let out a delighted chuckle. "No not all Felicity, I want you to
actually learn it. Dubois Ballet Studio performance features a showcase
of her new dancers, but she only uses the dancers who have shown
promise. You will need to pass an audition and that might be tough, but
a resourceful guy like you should have no trouble earning your rightful
tutu!"
Marcus deigned to tell him to fuck off again, sticking once more to
raising a middle finger.
Ruth added her thoughts to the discussion. "It's the perfect cover
Marcus," she said, placing a hand on his arm.
"No one would suspect a thing and the ball room dancing you did in high
school should have at least some cross over with ballet surely. I'm sure
you'll master it," Marcus cringed at the mention of his ball room
dancing, he had not had any problems with it and actually enjoyed his
high school dance classes, but Harry had somehow gotten hold of his
social's from back then and loved to give him shit about it.
"Yeah, Felicity I'm sure you'll shine like a diamond. With your dance
background coupled with those carbon limbs and high tensile tendons
you'll be prima-ballerina inside a week," Harry said.
Marcus sat in sullen silence, still angry at the whole situation. He was
being forced into fucking ballet lessons by these two as part of a
heist. All because of this new bullshit identity as a ten year old girl.
"You'll just need to focus on ballet lessons and getting into the troupe
for the showcase. Once we get that done it's clear sailing. The actual
fibre Tap is dead simple like I said a simple stab so long as it's
mostly on the right angle will be fine," Harry said "Just approach it
like any other job and you'll do great."
"Yeah thanks for that, also Fuck You Harry."
"Watch your language please," Ruth interjected. "Just focus on the
ballet and everything else will fall into place."
Marcus nodded. He was beyond mortified at the thought of joining a
ballet class and pretending to be little Felicity in front of real
children, but his path forward seemed to have been cleared of any off
ramps. The only way to get into a position to have Moroder reverse his
surgeries was to go forward with this insane heist plan. And 10 million
was enough to cover a variety of expenses. So long as things go smoothly
that is, and why on earth would he ever have cause to expect things to
not go smoothly?
Harry seemed to sense his discomfort and turned to him with a wide
smile.
"Don't worry Felicity," he said, using Marcus's new name with glee.
"After all, you were already pretty small and agile to begin with, it
should come naturally to you. I've got every faith in you Pumpkin."
Marcus glared at him with fury but remained silent. He absolutely hated
being called pumpkin but didn't say anything to acknowledge it, knowing
Harry would be just hoping he reacted. If he arced up about being called
Pumpkin, that fucker would probably have it tattooed on his fucking
forehead.
He also knew that he had no choice open to him but to go along with
their crazy plan, at least for now. He would have to do his best to
blend in with the other ballet students. He knew he had no choice but to
go along with the plan, but the thought of having to learn ballet and
perform was daunting to say the least. After an hour or more of talking
to Ruth, since Marcus seemed to have been relegated to seen but not
heard catagory, Harry stood up and announced his departure.
"Hate to love and leave you ladies, but I've still got a lot to take
care of cleaning up the mess from the last job and getting this new one
up and running. I'll see you in about a week," He grinned at Marcus and
gave him a jaunty finger gun salute. "Be good for Mummy."
Marcus just glared daggers at him as Harry walked over to Ruth and then
without warning he wrapped his arms around her unexpectedly and drew her
in. Ruth was taken aback by Harry's forward manner and at first she
tensed up, but she relaxed as Harry tilted his head and whispered in her
ear.
"Do I know what a girl wants, or do I know what a girl want's, Hmm?"
Harry asked like he had given her a diamond necklace. And then he kissed
her. And Ruth found herself kissing him back momentarily before he
pulled back from her.
"And you be good for Daddy," He said to her quietly enough for only her
to hear, grinning happily at her as she stared at him in shock.
Ruth's eyes widened as she realised what was happening. Harry was using
Marcus as a love offering to rekindle their aborted early romance. It
was outrageous, it was sick and twisted, and she also realised that it
was working on her.
"You girls have fun," Harry said pocketing his desk projector and
walking towards the door.
And then with one last grin at Marcus in his cute little overalls, Harry
opened the front door and was gone once more.
Marcus looked at Ruth with suspicion and uncertainty.
"So....you and Harry are a thing now?" he asked.
"What?, no....No," Said Ruth suddenly not sure if she was or not. And
very much unsure about how she felt about it.
"Anyway I think you should be heading off to bed now don't you?" Ruth
asked.
Truth to tell even though it was early, he had had a stressful and
exhausting day and he could use the sleep.
"Yeah I reckon I'll do that."
"Goodnight Felicity" she said as he got up and walked to bed.
"Yeah, goodnight," he said and he walked into Felicity's room.
He rolled his eyes at all the pink around the room as he stepped out of
his overalls. He grabbed his panties to pull them down but decided
against it. He was still actively avoiding having anything to do with
that thing between his legs, so he kept those and the long sleeved T
shirt on. He flicked off the light only to find that the off position
flicked on a thin pink light strip that bathed the room in a soft pink
hue. A pretty night light for a girl too little to sleep in the dark.
"Ohh for fucks sake," Marcus mumbled as he walked over to the little
girls bed and climbed in, pulling another pillow over his head.
A short time later he drifted off into a troubled slumber.
-Ballet Beginner Blues-
The next morning Marcus slowly awoke, the rapidly fading remembrance of
a dream falling away like a mist. He could feel the happy afterglow of
whatever the dream might have been about but any details eluded him. The
pleasurable feeling of morning wood had him pushing a hand under the
elasticised waist of his pyjamas to grab his cock. He tried to wrap his
hand around what was no longer there, and after a slight momentary
confusion he sat bolt upright with a jolt of remembrance about the
nightmare of yesterdays rude awakening. He pulled his hand back out of
his pyjamas with a guilty start, but the urgent tingling between his
thighs was slow to dissipate.
"Fuck," he sighed throwing his hands above the covers and staring
straight ahead at the back of his new bedroom door.
He was going to have to get out of bed, which would mean he would have
to get dressed in the stupid childish clothes Ruth had bought for his
small but mortifying new wardrobe. And then he would have to deal with
Ruth not just treating him like a child but forcing him into act like
one as well. Nothing about the coming day was going to be anything other
than an embarrassing cringe making hellscape for him, and he was at a
loss to think of a single good reason to even get out of bed. In fact
just as an exercise in futility he tried to imagine the mere possibility
of the day not sucking an entire ocean full of ass.
The prevailing view of the physical world held by the smartest people
today was that multiple universes or even multiple infinite universes
surrounded us presenting every conceivable outcome. Some of which
mathematically speaking had to not only not suck, but be subjectively
and objectively good outcomes. He was sat up in bed, his arms crossed
over his ludicrously small chest and his fine blonde hair falling over
his eyes trying to visualise at least on good outcome that might be
possible as he heard footsteps and knock at the door, before Ruth opened
it without waiting for a reply.
"Time to get up sleepyhead. Once you get some breakfast in we're going
into town to get you your ballet gear," She said "I'll make you some
toast to have with your cereal."
"Fuuuuck," Marcus said under his breath, thankful his hair would prevent
Ruth from lipreading his reaction to the predictably horrible news.
Marcus was filled with dread as they pull into the car park of the dance
supply store. He didn't want to admit it, but he was petrified of being
seen in public like this. So far it was only the clinical staff, Harry
and Ruth that had seen him and he was just not feeling like he could
handle being presented like this to the world at large. He was wearing
a white blouse he had picked out because he hadn't seen the puffiness of
the sleeves until he had it on and had once more pulled the overalls on,
not willing to put on one of the skirts or dresses he had been given.
His shoes, while horribly girly with the floral print covering them,
were at least very comfortable to walk in.
Ruth parked the car and turned to him, her voice firm but gentle. "Come
on Felicity, let's go get you set up for Madam Dubois's."
Marcus reluctantly followed her into the store. As they entered the
dance supplies store he felt a pit in his stomach. He'd never felt so
embarrassed in his life. The bell on the door jingled as they entered.
Rows and rows of ballet shoes, leotards, tights, and tutus filled the
surprisingly spacious store. Marcus couldn't help but feel embarrassed
as they made their way to the girls' section.
"I can't believe you're making me do this Ruth," Marcus hissed as they
walked around the store. "I'm a man, not a little girl."
"You're not a man anymore Felicity, we've been through this," Ruth
replied calmly in a lowered voice. "You're a ten year old girl now and
you need to remember that. That's the part you have to play if you want
to get through this without ending up in custody."
"I don't understand how you can be so casual about this," Marcus said,
his voice shaking with anger. "You're just going along with Harry's
fucking insane plan."
"I don't have a choice Felicity any more than you do," Ruth said, her
tone becoming more defensive. "We both have to do what Harry says. He's
the one calling the shots. He always has been," Ruth said, think back to
Harry's surprising move yesterday.
Yes, he was calling the shots and Marcus was right, she was just going
along with it. Right now the actual heist itself was no where near as
important to her as getting Marcus into ballet tights and a leotard. She
knew that she couldn't justify it but the thought of making Marcus into
her little ballerina daughter was rapidly becoming an obsession. Harry
was right. He really did know what she wanted.
"I can't believe you're willing to just throw away my life like this,"
Marcus exclaimed. "We used to be a team Ruth. We used to have each
other's backs."
"Things have changed Marcus," Ruth said returning to the task at hand
and her voice starting to crack. "We have to adapt if we want to
survive. And you need to do the most adapting of all, my girl," she
brushed Marcus's attempt to reply with a wordless warning as the woman
running the store approached.
"Hello ladies, can I help you find anything?" she asked with a friendly
smile.
"Yes, we're here for some ballet outfits for my daughter," Ruth grinned.
"Oh, how exciting! Is this her first recital?" The girl's eyes lit up.
Ruth shook her head. "No recital yet, she's just starting out and we
want to make sure she has the right outfits for going to lessons."
The girl led them to a section of the store filled with tutus and
leotards. "We have a wide variety of sizes and styles for girls of all
ages. Is there anything in particular you're looking for?"
"We'll need leotards and tights to begin with, it might be for the best
to get fresh measurements, you know how quickly little girls can grow,"
Ruth said getting into her role as a doting mother and feeling herself
lubricating at the thought of Marcus in a tutu.
"Of course," The store girl pulled out a tape measure and quickly took
his new measurements. She measured Marcus "Okay, it looks like we'll
need a size 9 for the leotard and size 8 for the tights. You're a petite
little thing aren't you?" she said smiling down at Marcus.
Ruth nods approvingly. "That sounds about right. Can you also grab her a
pair of ballet shoes in about size 6 ?"
"Absolutely," the girl replies cheerily. In no time at all she returns
with a selection of leotards, tights, and shoes. "Here are some options
for you ladies to choose from. Just come get me when your ready," She
smiled and left them to it.
Ruth encouraged him to try everything on, and Marcus knew he had no
choice but to comply. As he stood in front of the mirror in a pink
leotard with matching tights and ballet shoes, Marcus couldn't believe
what his life had become.
Ruth eventually selected three leotards. A plain white one and a second
one in white with pastel pink piping on the seams and a third in pale
pink Lycra. She bought a few pair of tights in pinks and whites, and a
pair of beginners ballet shoes in Marcus's size. She also grabbed a
tutu, telling him that he would need it for the recital. Marcus stood
there, frozen in embarrassment as she picked out the alien items.
As they made their way to the counter, Marcus couldn't help but feel
like everyone in the store was staring at him. He wanted to shrink into
the ground, but Ruth was all business, paying for the items and bundling
them into a bag. Above the store girls head something caught her eye and
Ruth smiles happily.
"I'll have that as well thank you, she said pointing at the wall"
"This is perfect don't you think Felicity?" she held up A soft pink and
white duffel bag with the legend Pretty Ballerina scrawled across it in
flowery cursive writing.
"Sure,... Mum. Thanks," he said dejectedly doing the barest minimum to
keep up the mother daughter act.
"Huh, kids today, never happy. Am I right?" Ruth asked of the shop
keeper, who smiled a retail workers smile in return. Back in the car,
Marcus couldn't help but feel a sense of hopelessness wash over him. How
had his life come to this?
On returning home Marcus was quickly back in the lounge, once more
wallowing in the news streams until he moved on to watching old movies.
Anything to distract him from thinking about what had been done to him
and what he was going to have to do in order to get this next heist
done.
A few hours after they had eaten a mostly silent dinner, Marcus was
watching the recently rebooted Long John Silver movie when Ruth came in.
"OK Felicity, that's enough TV for today, It's time for you to go to
bed."
Marcus looked up at the time.
"It's barely even nine O'clock Ruth. This is ridiculous," Marcus
protested.
Ruth frowned at him, her face clouding over.
"I've told you plenty of times, not to call me Ruth. Now go and get into
your pyjamas, its bed time."
"I am not a child, I'll go to bed when I fucking feel like it," Marcus
retorted. He had been stewing about his relegation to child status all
day since they had returned from the shopping trip.
Ruth's expression hardened, and she fixed Marcus with a stern gaze. "You
are a child Felicity and I've got documentation to prove it. I told you
when we got here that you need to play the role of a ten year old girl
even in the house," she said, her voice cold and dismissive.
"You are a young girl, and young girls need their rest. You remember
what we said about you doing what you're told? Now, go to bed Felicity
right now!" Ruth said firmly pointing a finger towards Marcus's hated
bedroom.
Marcus felt his anger and frustration boil over, and he couldn't hold
back his emotions any longer. "Not fucking happening Ruth. I'm twenty
two not ten and I'm watching this movie, so fuck off and play Mummies
with someone else, 'cause I'm not fucking having it."
Ruth's expression turned to one of disappointment and disapproval. She
walked up to Marcus and grabbed him by the arm, pulling him towards the
bedroom with alarming ease.
"You will not speak to me like that, young lady," she said firmly. And
as Ruth dragged him towards his new room and the horribly pink four
poster bed, Marcus's eyes widened in fear as he realised she was going
to spank him again.
"No Ruth! Don't!"
She sat down on the bed and dragged Marcus across her knee, and then
roughly she pulled the shoulder straps of his tiny overalls down and
began tugging them off him. No matter his struggles he was unable to
prevent her from pulling them down.
"Jesus Ruth OK Mum! Alright? Stop it now!" he yelled as Ruth got his
pants down displaying his tiny bottom in his pastel panties.
"This time I hope you learn something Missy, because unless you want to
be spanked repeatedly and often, I suggest you learn to behave," She
said calmly, as she enjoyed a power she held over the surgically
modified young man.
"Ruth, Mum, Mummy please, don't do this I'll behave, I swear, just NO!"
The last frightened 'No' as Ruth pulled his panties down to, his arse
bare.
"Little," Ruth said firmly as she smacked his bottom firmly in emphasis.
"Girl's," Smack!
"Go," Smack!
"To," Smack!
"Bed," Smack!
"When," Smack!
"They," Smack!
"Are," Smack!
"Told!" Smack!
"Ahhh" Marcus screamed and it turned to a high pitch girlish shriek.
"I'll go to bed! I Swear It! Ahh, Stop! Noooo!"
Ruth released her hold on his arms pressed effortlessly into his back,
and let him stand up again and he went to pull up his underwear and
overalls.
"No dear, it's time to get out of those clothes and ready for bed."
Marcus stood heaving lungs full of air as he tried to regain his
composure. She had spanked him like a little kid again and he was
powerless to do anything about it.
"Come on, clothes off sweetie," Ruth said, snapping him out of his
stupor.
"Huh?"
"Clothes off."
And he dropped his half pulled up overalls and stepped out of them. Then
he pulled off his T shirt and stood before Ruth in nothing but the pink
panties he had put on this afternoon when he left Moroders clinic.
"Panties too, come on."
And he pulled down his underwear wincing as the back of of them slide
over his recently spanked bum until he was standing naked and exposed
before Ruth who was entranced by the smooth hairless slit between his
legs.
"Good girl," Ruth said. She stood up, walked over to the dresser and
pulled open a draw.
"Here you go, put these on," Ruth said handing him A pair of pyjama
bottoms and a matching silky pyjama top.
Marcus held the offered pyjamas like they might rear up and bite him.
Light pink like 80% of the stuff in this room and something printed on
it.
"Come on, chop chop," Ruth said hurrying him along.
He stepped into the bottoms, a pair of shorts with ruffled legs with
small white butterflies covering them. He pulled the top over his bare
torso and looked at himself in the dresser mirror. The top hung loosely
like a flared out T shirt, on his chest a large glittery butterfly logo
around which a motto like scroll read 'Just A Girl Who Loves
Butterflies'. He hung his head in shame and the tiny little girl in the
mirror did the same.
"OK, now get into bed."
Marcus quickly got into the bed and pulled the quilt up over him and
Ruth followed him over and sat down on the bed looking down at him
pinned under the covers.
"Now," Ruth began "Are you going to be a good girl from now on?"
Marcus nodded mutely.
"Nope, I need to hear it to know you understand. Now are you going to be
a good girl?"
"...Yes," he answered quietly.
"Yes what?"
"..Yes mother."
Ruth smiled down at him.
"You know what? I think that we can work towards 'Mother'," Ruth said,
as she looked down at the helpless little man in his adorable pink
pyjamas. "You can call me mother when you have shown you are mature
enough. For now I think you can stick you calling me Mummy," she said
grinning at him.
"Do you understand me."
Marcus looked up at his one time getaway driver.
"Yes ...Mummy," he said in defeat.
"Such a good little girl," Ruth said beaming down at him and then she
leaned down and hugged him tightly and kissed him on the forehead, both
cheeks and then on his lips.
"Night night baby girl," Ruth cooed at him.
"Night night Mummy," Marcus replied in the hopes of ending it sooner
rather than later.
And with that Ruth stood up and left, flicking off the main light and
bathing the room once more in its soft pink glow of the night light. And
after a while Marcus drifted off into a dreamless sleep.
Marcus woke up the next morning confused and disoriented. As he looked
around the room, he saw the posters on the wall, the pink comforter on
his bed, the stuffed animals on the shelves and it started to dawn on
him that he was not in his own room. Or rather it was his new room. Her
new room. He tried to convince himself that it was all a bad dream, but
as he looked at his small hands and felt the pull of his long blonde
hair trapped under his arm, he knew that it was not. The reality of his
situation came crashing in on him again.
As he got dressed and ready for the day, he couldn't help but feel self-
conscious about his new body and his feminine clothes. He looked in his
new wardrobe for anything less girly than the outfit he had come home
in, only to discover it was by far the closest to a manly outfit he now
owned. The overalls seemed to be the only long legged pants he had apart
from a pair of tiny pink leggings and Ruth had taken them with her as
she sent him to bed last night along with the rest of the clothes he had
worn to put them in the washing machine.
Most of what was in the draws and cupboards was either pink frilly or a
combination of both. He pulled on a pair of canvas shorts that were a
muted pink, a white T shirt with a small Daisy printed on it and a pair
of almost plain white trainers with a butterfly pattern. He was also
wearing a large floral scrunchie he found on the dresser putting his
hair in a pony tail. As much as he hated the look, it kept the long
blonde hair out of his eyes.
He walked into the kitchen to look for some breakfast and poured himself
a bowl of cornflakes. As he poured milk in he was dismayed to find that
a three litre milk bottle seemed about at the limit of what he could
pick up, his arm muscles trembled as he sought to keep the bottle from
dropping out of his small hands. He hated being so small and weak.
Carrying his bowl to the lounge, Marcus ate his breakfast as he watched
the news on TV hoping to catch any updates about the search, or even
better hoping to hear it had been called off. But it had been 27 days
since the botched robbery and it was still part of the daily new
roundup. No news of course but they still manufactured as much as they
could to feed the public's interest in the case. Either way, watching
anything was a welcome momentary distraction from his distressingly
girly body. He could forget for minutes at a time what had been done to
him while watching TV so having nothing else to do, that's what he did.
After a couple of hours of the morning had been expended staring
sullenly at the TV, Ruth came into the lounge.
"Felicity, I've got a surprise for you in the garage that I think you
might just like," she declared, and he was wary as she led him into the
garage.
So far none of her surprises had been anything but further indignities
and he saw no reason to think that this would be any different. Ruth's
brand new sleek black BMW filled most of the space and he couldn't help
but feel a sense of jealousy looking at it. The brutal open intakes and
low profile carbon wheels were all that delineated it as a performance
model. Ruth had always had a taste for understated power when it came to
her cars.
But next to the BMW, there was a small pink push bike clearly meant for
a young girl. It had a basket attached to the front and a bell on the
handlebars with pink and white streamers spilling down. Purple wheels
and Disney logos completed the monstrosity and on the front of the
basket Elsa from Frozen smiled hugely out at him. Not that Marcus had
any idea who that was. Not a single engine on it either, just a single
gear and primitive chain and pedal.
"Ta da!" Ruth said once waving her open hands while she did a spokes
model impression for yet another grand 'fuck you' prize.
Ruth beamed as she told Marcus that the bike would be perfect for him to
move around and scout the area and Marcus just tried to tune out her
supportive loving mother bullshit routine. He felt like he'd hit a new
low looking at it. Why the fuck would he ever need to scout anything on
this stupid kids bike? That's what the drone swarm was for.
To add insult to ironic injury, Ruth handed him an extra 'gift', a small
bike helmet decorated with characters from the cartoon Paw Patrol.
Marcus felt humiliated and angry as he looked at the pastel pink helmet
with some cartoon dog called Skye on it smiling back at him. He wanted
to protest, to refuse, but he knew that there was no point.
"Thank's...Mum," he said aiming to try and make this end as soon as
possible.
"You're so very welcome Felicity," Ruth beamed down at him for all the
world looking like she actually meant the words at face value. "Why
don't you take it out for a spin, I know its not your racing bike but it
might give you a little bit of independence back."
"Ruth I-"
"Stop!" Ruth interjected. "There's public space out there. Public space
filled with Eyenet surveillance and you can not call me Ruth anymore.
What do you call me?" she asked like it was a pop quiz.
Marcus dropped his head, his whole body slumping on the little cycle.
"Uhh," he sighed, sounding a lot like a girl dealing with her mother.
"..Mother or Mum."
"And?"
".. and Mummy."
"That's it, you almost left out the best one," Ruth smiled.
He felt like a complete fool sitting on a kids bike dressed like a child
while Ruth tried to bully him into displaying himself to the outside
world.
"Felicity go on, it'll be fun," said Ruth with a sly smile.
"Fun? I look like a fucking prissy little fruitcake," replied Marcus,
his voice filled with anger and embarrassment.
"No you don't, and also watch your language," corrected Ruth. "You look
like a cute little girl Felicity and that's the whole point. Everyone
including Eyenet will see an unremarkable girl with zero connections to
anything of police interest," Ruth said.
"You need to blend in and look innocent and riding that bike up and down
the street a few times will help you do that. Any passing algorithms
will just see a young girl out in her neighbourhood on her bike, that
face will context link Felicity Taylor and little bike girl and further
fill in the alias. Think of it as colouring in a colouring book. Trust
me," Marcus fumed at her, taking as particularly insulting the colouring
book analogy which he felt was entirely gratuitous.
"I can't do it." Marcus shook his head. "I can't go outside looking like
this," He was worried about being seen by anyone at all. Any sapient
life form, in fact. Even a particularly bright Parakeet looking at him
right now would probably be enough to set him off. He was frightened he
would be exposed as a man but he was petrified that it was going to be
impossible for him to pass as anything other than a little girl now.
Ruth walked over and squatted down next to Marcus and took his small
hands in hers and made direct eye contact with him.
"Honey the only people who'll laugh will be any little boys and they
won't want anything to do with an icky little girl like you anyway.
You're a cootie risk now remember? Little girls will think you are one
of them and adults will just straight up ignore you. It's practically a
crime to notice other peoples children these days anyway. You'll be
fine."
Despite himself a brief smile escaped his face and he was barely able to
stifle a laugh at Ruth's explanation which was insulting and
patronising, but still somehow funny. Maybe it was just nervous
exhaustion from putting up with Ruth's weapons grade mothering
constantly. Being spanked had certainly taken a bit of a toll on
Marcus's state of mind that's for sure. He found his mind wandering back
to and he was still having trouble dealing with it. But he knew for
certain that it hurt like hell and he was strongly motivated to not have
Ruth repeat the experience.
"Felicity love, you have to trust me. You need to disappear into the
crowd and this is a great way to go about it. Now get on that bike and
go for a ride, that's an order. It'll do you good. Just take a ride and
don't come back for at least an hour or so."
Marcus stood there staring at Ruth like she had grown a second head.
"I mean it Felicity, get on your bike and get outside right now."
With no options available, Marcus reluctantly pulled the crash helmet
over his head and walked over to the bike. He climbed onto it feeling
self-conscious and embarrassed in his outfit and helmet. As he rode off,
Ruth called out to him, "Be safe, sweetie!" Marcus felt humiliated as he
rode down the street, trying to avoid being seen by anyone even slightly
connected to the Primate family.
-Bashfully Blending-
As Marcus pedalled his awful pink bicycle to the end of the street, he
thought about what the bike really meant. He suspected that Ruth had an
ulterior motive for the bike, but that was hardly shocking as pretty
much all for her motivations tended towards ulterior-ness.
This was her telling him something.
You can escape the house, but you can't escape Felicity.
He had told himself two days ago on ride from the clinic that he could
just bolt from the car at a set of traffic lights and then figure out a
plan on the run. And Ruth had offered him the chance yesterday too. Well
here he was now outside of his prison without even trying, complete with
the best transportation a ten year old girl could hope for and why
wasn't he pedalling as fast as possible away from that house and Ruth
and Harry?
Well because they were the only known route back to being Marcus for one
thing, or at least being someone he could live with being. He was stuck
with them and stuck as Felicity until he could reverse his feminisation.
Being trapped was all the more painful when there was no visible lock.
The stupid fucking kids bike was making him complicit in his own
captivity.
Marcus came across a playground at the end of the street and with no
other options to kill an hour with, he entered it feeling an unwelcome
fear rising in his chest. He was an adrenaline junkie, but the fear of
mixing with little kids and passing himself off as one of them more more
nauseating than exhilarating.
He sat on the bike one foot down while he surveyed the park. A small
group of kids a few years older than his supposed new age were milling
around the swings shouting and laughing at each other as they seemed to
be trying to outdo each other for height records, and a young girl about
his apparent age was playing with a boy a few years younger than her on
a climbing castle. The playground was filled with all sorts of
equipment, swings, slides, seesaws and a sandbox. Marcus's heart was
pounding as he slowly approached the group of children on his bike. They
all seemed around the same age but 'seem' seemed so deceptive now that
he was in the body of a young girl. He may look like one of their peers,
but he couldn't see himself having a prolonged discussion about the
intricacies of electric race bikes with any of the kids here, and he
expected that whatever they might like he would likely have never even
heard of.
As Marcus approached to equipment in the centre of the park, the girl
playing on the castle simply walked up to him with the total lack of
concern she immediately started talking to him.
"Hi there! What's your name? I'm Sarah. I haven't seen you around here
before. Those are cool shoes." She fired off a round of quick questions
like she was interviewing candidates for the position of friend.
Sarah was a cute little girl, with curly black hair, and big brown eyes.
She was wearing a blue cotton dress, and a matching hairband that held
her hair back. She seemed to be a very outgoing and cheerful kid. And
what he assumed was her little brother looked at him blankly.
Marcus trying to keep up his cover, figured this was as good a time as
any to see how he would go dealing with real children while looking like
one.
"Hi, My name is Felicity. I..." he said before coming to an awkward halt
mid sentence. His natural instinct for some stupid reason was to try and
put on a kids voice, but given Moroders attention to highly skilled and
detailed butchery it just made him sound weird. It was a hat on a hat so
to speak.
"Hummp,..sorry" He faked a cough like he was clearing his throat and
spoke normally "I'm Felicity, pleased to meet you," he said and held out
a hand, which Sarah took and shook enthusiastically. "I just moved to
this street with my Mother."
"Hi Felicity. That's such a cool name. Oh cool, I live on this street
too! Is that bike new? Was it a present?...when's your birthday? What do
you like to do for fun?" Sarah asked.
Marcus trying to come up with something on the fly that a little girl
would say, blurted, "I like playing with dolls and watching cartoons."He
said sounding like some kind of alien trying to pass itself off as a
human girl child. He unable to think of anything less generic but Sarah
seemed to have let it slide.
"I love Paw Patrol too!" Sarah said happily. "My Mummy says its a bit
young for me now, but Skye is so awesome. I like dolls too, we should
play sometime, that would be great! Do you want to play on the castle
with me and Timmy?"
Marcus tried to keep up with her scatter gun busts of inquiries and
insights. "Sure, that would be nice I guess," he answered
noncommittally, but that was a binding contract for play as far as Sarah
was concerned and she took his hand and pulled him towards the climbing
rope net. Marcus decided to let Sarah take the lead and just try to keep
up with her. This might actually be useful practice.
As they played on the equipment together, Sarah continued to ask Marcus
a lot of questions, and Marcus tried his best to answer trying to keep
up the charade of being a little girl. Sarah was quite talkative
reminding Marcus of his older sisters kid Brianna and he found himself
stealing some of her life stories and interests and passing them off as
his own in order to make this Felicity disguise believable. Brianna
liked unicorns and Barbies and so therefor did Felicity. He did find
himself being surprised with just how much mobility his new frame had.
He might not be strong, and his feeble struggles againt Ruth's
punishments had proven that, but he was able to pull his tiny frame
rapidly up the equipment and his legs and arms had a very wide range of
motion. He could almost bring a foot climbing up the netting to chest
height.
As he played with Sarah and Timmy on the equipment he had to be careful
not to slip up and fall out of character. But what character did a ten
year old girl actually have? Marcus just didn't know. Being a
professional criminal he was good at lying naturally, but pretending to
be a little girl was a whole different level of deception he just didn't
have the skill set for. That said, it seemed that just letting her take
the lead was working depressingly well. Since he wasn't talking much,
Sarah had taken it upon herself to talk enough for both of them.
Sarah seemed to be looking for a friend and most of her questioning
seemed focused on Felicity filling that role. She was excited to have
found a new playmate on her street and her age too, but Marcus could
only despair at the thought of having to maintain this cover for an
extended amount of time with her. After his companions Barbie wrist
watch showed it was 90 minutes since he had been thrown out to play,
Marcus began to say his good byes to Sarah and Timmy. Sarah hugged him
good bye after extracting a promise he would play with her and her
brother again. And he clambered onto the stupid little bike glad to get
away from the children he had been blending in with so depressingly
effectively.
When he got back into the house Ruth came up telling him to get a quick
bite to eat if he needed but they were going out in an hour.
"Going where?" Marcus asked.
"To get you enrolled in Dubois's Ballet Studio. You'll be doing evening
classes five nights a week to get you up to scratch as soon as possible.
"I'm not going to ballet class Ru-Mum, I can't," Marcus said, his voice
filled with anger and embarrassment as he corrected himself.
"I'm not a little girl, and I'm not going to prance around in a tutu
like one. There has to be some other way to get into the museum. We've
hit harder targets in the past. Harry can-"
Ruth, however, was insistent. "You will go to ballet class Felicity" she
said talking over him, her voice dismissive of his protest.
"It's part of your new identity and it's integral to the heist," Ruth
said grabbing her car keys.
"You need to be competent enough at dancing to pass the studio audition
and that will require a lot of learning and practice starting from now.
So get your ballet bag we're leaving now," She walked to the door, her
keys and handbag in hand, opened it and looked at Marcus.
"Well? I'm waiting," She said standing by the door.
Marcus dejectedly picked up the pink and white bag containing his
loathsome new dance clothes and followed her out to the car.
As they walked into the dance studio, Marcus couldn't help but feel his
stomach drop. The smell of rosin and the sound of piano music filled the
air, and he couldn't help but feel out of place. Ruth, on the other
hand, seemed completely at ease as she chatted with the receptionist and
filled out the necessary paperwork.
Madame Dubois, the Ballet Mistress, approached them with a warm smile.
She was at least Ruth's age if not more, with a svelte figure in her
simple black leotard.
"Welcome to my studio," she said, extending her hand to Ruth. "I
understand you're interested in enrolling your daughter in our classes?"
Ruth nodded, her hand still gripping Marcus's tightly. "Yes, she's very
interested in dance and I want to give her every opportunity to excel."
Madame Dubois's smile faltered slightly as she looked at Marcus. He
could tell she was taking in his sullen expression and the way he was
trying to pull his hand away from Ruth's grasp. "I see," she said, her
voice measured. "And what level of experience does your daughter have?"
Ruth hesitated for a moment before answering. "None, she's never done
ballet before. But she's eager to learn and I know she'll do whatever it
takes to improve."
Madame Dubois nodded, her expression thoughtful. "I see. Well, we do
have beginner classes for children her age. But I have to be honest, it
will be a lot of work for her. Ballet is not an easy discipline, and it
requires dedication and hard work."
Marcus could feel his face growing red with embarrassment. He knew
Madame Dubois was right, and he also knew he wasn't dedicated or
disciplined. At least not as far as ballet was concerned. He just wanted
this to be over so he could try and claw his old life back.
"I understand," Ruth she said firmly. "And we're willing to do whatever
it takes to make this work. Felicity is shy, but she has wanted to be a
ballerina since she was seven," Ruth said, inventing his ballerina dream
backstory on the fly.
Madame Dubois gave a small nod, her expression softening.
"Alright then, I'll have my assistant get her set up with a schedule and
we'll see how it goes. But please keep in mind, if she's not making
progress, I may have to ask her to leave the class," Marcus's heart sank
as he listened to Madame Dubois's words. This heist was relying on him
getting into the showcase and this woman seemed to think he wasn't even
good enough for the classes.
Madame Dubois took them on a tour of the studio, showing them the
various dance rooms, the barre and the mirrored walls. As they walked,
she explained the strict rules and expectations of her students, the
hours of practice and the dedication required to succeed. Marcus felt
his stomach turning, he knew he'd never be able to do this.
Finally, they arrived at Madame Dubois's office where a brief discussion
on the finer details of Felicity's enrolment were finalised. Ruth
promised that Felicity would do whatever it took to succeed, no matter
how hard it may be. Marcus could only nod in mute agreement, feeling
like a trapped animal as he was led to the change rooms to get ready.
Martin stood in the change room of the ballet studio, feeling dejected
and embarrassed. He couldn't believe that he was in this situation.
Forced to take ballet lessons in order to maintain his cover as a 10
year old girl. He glared at his reflection in the mirror, taking in the
pink leotard and tights that he was now wearing. His hair in a simple
ponytail. His clothes were tight and uncomfortable, and he felt exposed
in them.
As he changed into his ballet shoes, he couldn't help but think about
the life that he used to have. He was once a successful robber, a master
lock picker and hacker. From safe cracker to Nut Cracker. He was nothing
more than a pawn in Harry's twisted game. He couldn't believe that he
had been so foolish to trust Harry, to let him talk him into this insane
plan.
As he made his way out to the studio floor Marcus felt like his world
has just gotten a whole lot smaller. He could feel the eyes of the other
students on him. He knew that they were all wondering who the new girl
was, and he could sense their curiosity and judgement. It was only a bit
over an hour ago he had first mingled with children in his new childish
form and now he was being thrown into the deep end with a gaggle of
small girls all looking at the interloper in a leotard and tights among
them. He tried to ignore them and focus on the lesson, but it was hard.
He had never taken ballet before, and he felt awkward and uncoordinated.
The class was led by a strict and no-nonsense ballet instructor, Madame
Natasha. She was a tall slender woman with long dark hair pulled back
into a bun. She had a sharp and piercing gaze that seemed to take in
everything at once and a sexy french accent did things to Marcus. She
greeted the class with a curt "Bonjour, mes enfants," and began the
class with a series of stretches and warm-up exercises.
Marcus struggled to keep up with the class, feeling self-conscious and
out of place. He had never danced like this before and the movements
felt foreign to him. Madame Natasha went over the basic positions of
ballet, such as first second and fifth position, as well as demi-plie
and grand plie. And then Marcus and the rest of the girls were led to
try and copy Madam Natasha in unison. He could see the other girls
effortlessly executing these positions and he felt like he was
floundering.
As the class progressed, Madame Natasha continued to introduce them the
basic steps of ballet. Marcus struggled to keep up, feeling clumsy and
uncoordinated. He could see the other girls effortlessly gliding across
the floor, executing the basic and even a few advanced steps such as
tendu, glissade, and jete. Madame Natasha was relentless, pushing him to
do better and correcting his every move. Ruth watched from the benches
with a proud smile as Marcus awkwardly went through the new stances and
some basic moves.
Finally, the class came to an end, and Madame Natasha dismissed the
class with a curt "A demain, mes enfants." Marcus felt relieved that it
was over, but also knew he had to come back tomorrow and face the same
embarrassment all over again. Madam Natasha called him back as he went
to leave.
"Felicity, a word please?" she asked. Marcus wilted at his new name
coming accented from the women he had been idly imagining bending over
and fucking as she instructed him in. "You have very good flexibility
for a girl new to ballet and your plies as not bad at all, but your arms
are all over the place. When you hold your arms out, try to move more
like a princess and less like a truck driver OK?" Marcus blushed
"We can work on your port de bras tomorrow." She flashed a radiant smile
at him and he was lost in her eyes for a moment. "Your mother has your
lesson plan, so stick to that and I'm sure you'll see a lot of progress.
Now go get changed mon ch?ri and I'll see you tomorrow."
In a daze Marcus walked into the change rooms and was suddenly found
himself standing among a scrum of half naked girls far too young for him
to be looking at. He stared down at the floor and awkwardly made his way
to his bag. He didn't want to get undressed in front on his new peers,
even though he would look identical to them, maybe even because he now
looked like them.
He simply pulled his daisy T shirt over his leotard and stepped into his
pink shorts once more before pulling his shoes on over his tights and
then he walked out as quickly as he could without running. As he made it
out the door he leaned back on the wall in the corridor to collect
himself. Within the change room he heard a muffled discussion among the
girls and then round of laughter. Maybe he was just being paranoid, but
he strongly doubted it. He was almost able to blend in with them on the
floor, but the change room was intimidating in a way he didn't imagine
was possible.
He walked out to the entrance and Ruth stood up when she saw him
approach.
"You were really good out there Felicity," she said enthusiastically.
"Yeah good, now let's get out of here for fucks sake," he said.
"Language Felicity," Ruth warned quietly.
At home, Ruth made them dinner, just a simple fried rice and some
chicken in a packet satay sauce, but after his long workouts all day,
his small body ached all over and he needed a refuel so he wolfed it
down quickly.
"Time for you to do the dishes I reckon," Ruth said as he emptied his
plate and made to leave the table.
"Just leave em I'll get em later," Marcus said dismissively.
"It wasn't a discussion Felicity. You'll get up and do them now like I
told you to young lady," Ruth retorted, her voice full of soft polite
maternal suggestion mixed with a volcanic mountain threatening the
ability to blow up without warning.
"Fine," Marcus said, unaware he was doing a fairly automatic impression
of a ten year old reacting to an ultimatum.
He stood up and collected the dishes and took them into the kitchen, the
sink was a little to high for his four foot frame, but he muddled
through.
"Wheres your leotard and tights? I'm putting the machine on to do a
load," asked Ruth loudly from another room.
"I'm still wearing them!" he replied as he washed the plates trying not
to drench himself.
"Ahh," Ruth said smiling as she came into the kitchen. "Growing to like
the uniform already, that's good sweetheart. I'm proud of you."
"No! It's not that it's just that,..I, I didn't want to,..ohh forget
it!" he threw up his hands in despair
"Just drop it will you please?" Marcus asked wearily.
Once he had finished the dishes Ruth told him to do an hours practice
before bed time. He didn't want to but he took out his ballet shoes and
began to practice the basic steps. He moved clumsily and without grace
as he bobbed up and down doing plie's. His muscles ached and he
struggled to keep his balance. Marcus was already feeling the burn in
his new, smaller legs. If he wanted any chance of restoring his body, he
need's to make that heist work which meant convincing Madam to put him
in the showcase.
As he practiced he could hear Ruth moving around the house, and the
anger and frustration built inside of him. He wanted to rebel, to lash
out and tell her that he was sick of this bullshit, but he was
frightened of being spanked by that woman again. He continues to
practice into the night, determined to get better and maybe, just maybe,
find a way out of this mess. He was determined to be up to the task of
pulling off the museum heist, but practising at home in his little
girl's room was a constant reminder of what he had become. He hated
every moment of it, but he couldn't deny that he was already seeing a
little ballerina in the mirror.
As he twirled and leaped, Marcus couldn't help but think about all the
changes that had taken place in just a few short days. His body was
shorter and more delicate, his skin was smoother, and his face was elfin
and pretty. It was all so surreal, and yet, here he was, practising
ballet in his new bed room.
At nine, Ruth told him to get ready for bed and she laid out sleepwear.
Marcus wordlessly complied with Ruth and found himself standing in front
of the mirror, staring at his new reflection. He could not see anything
of himself in the mirror. Just a cute little girl dressed in a frilly
pink nightgown her hair falling around her shoulders. He felt like a
complete stranger in his own body. Ruth entered the room and sees the
defeated look on his face.
"Come on now Felicity, you need your rest. We have a big day ahead of us
tomorrow. Come give Mummy a hug."
Almost in a trance, not wanting to, but fearing reprisal, he walked over
and wrapped his arms around Ruth.
"Night night Felicity" Ruth said.
"Night Night Mummy," Marcus replied automatically, hating himself as he
did do.
Marcus reluctantly climbed into bed, feeling completely out of place. As
he drifted off to sleep, he couldn't help but think about the absurdity
of his situation. He's a hardened criminal, a man who's pulled off some
of the biggest heists in the country, and yet here he is, reduced to a
little girl in a pink nightgown.
Ruth watched over him clamber into bed in his nighty a small satisfied
smile on her face. She's in control now, and she's going to make sure
that Marcus, or Felicity as she now prefers to call him, plays his part
well. She turns off the light and closes the door, leaving Marcus to his
thoughts and dreams in his new identity as a young girl. And it wasn't
long before Marcus was once again asleep in his fourposter bed, bathed
in pink light.
Marcus was sitting with his old friends at a bar, they were all laughing
and joking, talking about women they had been with.
"So I bent her over the back of her boyfriends Brabham and railed her,"
Marcus said proudly as he entertained his circle. "I mean I wasn't left
with any other option was I," he said, laughing uproariously and his
pack of fellow slut fuckers joined in.
Feeling comfortable and at ease he smiled happily ensconced in the safe
warm glow of his old life. The smell of tobacco, the flavour of liqueur,
the sound and feel of heavy glasses on timber tables. The familiar faces
and familiar tales, talk of former conquests and extreme sports, while
he drank expensive whisky. Suddenly, he looked down and realised that he
was wearing a ballet tutu over his well worn denim jeans. His friends
laughed even harder.
Marcus looked own at the light pink netting billowing out from under his
state of the art biker jacket.
"Ahh yeah, that's OK fellas it's all under control, That's being taken
care of as we speak," he said to his coterie.
"That's OK sweetie," said Darren as he grew larger. "You probably
shouldn't be in here with us anyway, where's your daddy?"
He felt embarrassed and confused. He tried to speak, to tell them that
he was still a man, but his voice was high and childlike. He looked
around the room and saw that he was now in a ballet studio, surrounded
by young girls in tutus pointing and laughing at him for his poor demi-
plie technique. Marcus could take no more and he just screamed. He stood
with his legs in 2nd position, his hands balled into fists and screamed
a long shrill note.
He woke up from the dream in a cold sweat. He was horrified with the way
it made him feel, with his heart still pounding in his tiny chest. He
could still hear the laughter of his old friends echoing in his mind.
The increasingly familiar surroundings of his new room now bathed in
pink light from the nightlight plugged into the wall, dragged him
screaming back into the present. Marcus is in a room fit only for a
young girl, because for all intents and purposes he is a young girl. He
had awoken from his imagined nightmare into the real one again. He was
stuck as Felicity and there seemed to be no way of going back.
He got out of bed and looked at himself in the mirror, seeing the blonde
hair and small hands that now belonged to him. He remembered the feeling
of being trapped in a tutu, being laughed at and treated like a little
girl. He could feel tears starting to form in his eyes as he thought
about how far he'd fallen, from a successful armed robber to a captive
neophyte dancer.
The following day after a long afternoon watching Netflix with parental
locks preventing him from enjoying anything more mature than Scooby Doo,
Ruth drove him to his second lesson. Madame Natasha took Marcus aside
for some one-on-one instruction. She was strict and demanding,
correcting his every move and pushing him to do better. She was
concentrating on squeezing 'ze tom boy' out of him and getting him to
strive for a more graceful and feminine stature.
"Back to 5th position Felicity, I want to see that smile bigger, and
bring the fingers out, when you change positions I want to see you
moving like a graceful swan, not like a semaphore tower, be a fluidic,
feminine and graceful, girl."
Marcus cleared his mind of his conflicting feeling about Natasha's
words, and tried to emulate his teacher, putting as much feminine poise
into his hand moments and smile as he was able to muster without looking
like a little drag queen.
"Good work Felicity, your getting it now," Madam Natasha said, the
compliment from her triggering a small quake of excitement in his
gusset. Fucking hell I can't take this much longer, he thought trying to
distract himself from his rapidly healing vagina. Moroder had said that
full connection might take some time, well the amount of sensation he
was feeling from his new sex was growing daily. He had to get a grip.
She sent him to the barre to run through exercises designed to develop
his leg and back muscles in the right way to give him the dancers body
needed. Marcus struggled to keep up, feeling self-conscious and out of
place. But as the lesson progressed, he began to pick up the basics of
ballet. He started to understand the importance of proper form and
technique, and he could see himself getting a little better.
Despite his initial reluctance, he found himself starting to come to
grips with the positions. He found that he was fitting in with the other
girls at the barre and he was able to go into a plie almost as fluidly
as they did, They were no longer laughing at him. He started to
understand the beauty and grace of ballet and he could see himself
becoming a better dancer. However, this realisation made him feel lost.
He didn't want to be like the other girls and blend in, he was a man and
he wanted to be treated like one.
As Marcus continued the class, he found himself becoming increasingly
attracted to Madame Natasha. He couldn't help but admire her grace,
poise, and beauty and he desperately wanted to bend her over the barre
and fuck her until she screamed out in that wonderful accent of hers.
He found himself looking forward to her corrections and critiques, as it
meant he would have her undivided attention. Despite his initial
reluctance, he found himself starting to enjoy the class and looked
forward to the next just for a chance to be near Natasha, and he was
becoming a better dancer because of it.
However, Marcus was also frustrated that he couldn't do anything about
his attraction to Madame Natasha. He was stuck in this childlike body,
and he knew that she would never see him as anything other than a child.
He couldn't help but feel emasculated and powerless and unbearably
horny. That night he found himself obsessing over Madame Natasha and he
felt the muted tingling in his altered loins become less muted and more
urgent. His hand strayed once more down to his altered sex and soon his
tiny fingers were slipping in and out of his moistening cleft as he
pictured Madam down on all fours lapping at his clit. He felt guilty for
having these feelings and he tried to push them away, but they kept
creeping back. He was living in a constant state of frustration and
hornyness and his transplanted pussy would just not give him a moments
rest. That night at some point between fighting and surrendering to his
insistent cleft he finally fell asleep dreaming of Madam Natasha.
