The ring - part 6

[part 6]

When all the girls had reached a stable height, ms G walked towards them at a deliberate slow pace. They were all frightened, but the sight of the gigantic body moving to their direction sent them scurrying in panic. One by one, they were easily collected by the smiling woman, who picked each of them in a bundle in a single hand, squishing their naked bodies together. The only one who had remained perfectly still was Callista. When the goddess looked in her direction, she took a few seconds to determine that she wasn't in fact panicking, but she was paralyzed in awe. With the girls still trapped in her fist, the goddess reached Callista in a few steps, and the tiny girl actually gasped. But there was not fear in her expression. The Goddess had noticed her, and she was honored. She didn't really know what to do in the situation she'd fantasized her entire life, so she improvised. She stood up, walked toward the monumental foot in front of her, and placed a kiss on top of it out of pure worship. "Andromeda, I think i've found your replacement" The goddess said to her more experienced servant with a smile on her face.

Suddently, Kate seemed to fly back to her body. She was big again, and more importantly, she was herself again, although still naked in front of her older neighbor. She instinctively covered her privates in embarassment, but soon realized how foolish it would be. After all, they were well past that stage at that point. "Why me?" She managed to say. Somehow, even without words, the woman had conveyed the message that she was her next "replacement". 

"Because i saw how you look at me. Even when you didn't suspect a thing, you always had that admiration in your eyes. You knew from the start, you just needed to be shown the way. And if you're asking yourself why i've taken so long, well... If you accept, you'll stay that age for a long time. And I would have no use for a herald that looks like a little girl." That was definitely an overload of information, but something stuck with Kate's mind. "If i accept? What do you mean if? I can still refuse?". Ms G gave her a compassionate look. "Of course darling. You're not like the others. You'll literally have to work for me, and i don't like a grumpy worker. You'll fetch me fresh sacrifices, but in exchange, you'll live a very long and extremely fulfilling life. Now get dressed and go home. You'll have until tomorrow to decide. If you accept, meet me at my front door exactly at three, so i can introduce you to the person you'll replace. But i'm pretty sure you know her already." She threw Kate her clothes. Confused, the girl got dressed again, unable to believe that her nightmare was finally over. She ran to the front door, and heard ms G's voice one last time. "Oh, i almost forgot. If you're even a minute late, i'll consider it as a rejection of my offer, your memory of today will be completely wiped and you'll be able to look at me like a dreamy schoolgirl for the rest of your pathetic life". 

Kate didn't even say goodbye. She slammed the door behind her and ran back to her house. She went straight for her bedroom without saying hi to anybody and locked herself in. She had a quick reality check. Was she still tripping? Whatever that crazy bitch had put in her tea, she had her real good. She couldn't believe how realistic it all felt. She even considered going to the police but she saved the thought for the next day. She managed to have dinner with her family without mentioning anything or looking weird, and went straight to bed. She was exhausted.

She fell asleep quickly, but her dreams were disturbed. She was the greek girl again, only this time she knew some time had passed. She was a rich merchant in one of the main cities, and was just arriving at the familiar temple. She now was the one providing victims for the Goddess. Apparently, the substance they drank would only activate her powers. After that, she was free to alter their size whenever she wanted. The Goddess was in the throne room in her temple, sitting while a relatively normal sized girl swinged a fan in her direction, while a much tinier girl kneeled at her feet, her neck chained with a golden string to her mid toe. She had her head stuck between two toes, and was licking the bare skin like a loyal dog. What was with this woman and her obsession for having her feet licked? Another, tinier girl was bawling her heart out while the Goddess' delicate fingers held down her diminutive figure with ease. With a nonchalant move, the Goddess gripped the screaming girl between two fingers, and brought her towards her mouth. The tiny stopped screaming. In that instant, she looked like she reached a state of supreme bliss. That was the moment when the goddess dropped her inside her mouth. She savoured the minuscle body for a few seconds, then finally swallowed. Kate was horrified at the sight, yet the mind she inhabited seemed strangely calm, like she hadn't just witnessed a horrible death. The explanation came automatically to the girl's mind. The girl hadn't died. She had been absorbed by the Goddess. Not just her body. Her mind, her very soul and all her memories were now part of something greater. 

"You summoned me" Kate heard herself say. "Yes. It's almost time." The Goddess calmly answered, while the two girls continued their job, unable to protest for their friend's disappearence. "You should start gathering fresh ones, these two won't last the month" she said like her two servants couldn't hear her. Kate knew exactly what the woman meant. It was time to collect new slaves for her entertainment, and apparently for food.

She woke up, sweating and shaking in fear. It had been a dream, sure, but again, it had been too realistic. She spent the rest of the night unable to catch her sleep again. It gave her time to consider ms G's offer. Was she really even thinking about accepting something so awful? And more important, had any of that been even real? It took her literal hours to finally decide that she was going to confront her neighbor. And after that, she would definitely sue her ass for drugging her. There was no way anything that had happened was even remotely real. 

She spent her school morning practicing what she was going to say once she was in front of ms G, every time adding a bit more. She wouldn't let that woman get away with it. She was in front of her door at 2.45, but for some reason she couldn't get herself to ring the doorbell. After all, she had been told to be there at 3. When she finally took the courage to move, the door opened in front of her. Ms G was there, in all her godly appearance. She was wearing nothing fancy, just some designer pants, a shirt and black flats. But there it was again, the feeling that she was something beyond human. All the dialogue that Kate practiced in her head during the night and subsequient morning just disappeared from her mind. She couldn't get herself to say anything to the divine creature in front of her. 

"Oh good, you're here." the woman said casually. She then tossed her something that resembled a car key, that Kate immediately recognized to be marked with the Mercedes logo. "Buckle up, you're driving".
