Chlorophyll

	Nobody likes unfamiliar ceilings. The girl was no exception. She woke up in a brightly lit, white room. Last thing she remembered was going to sleep in her usual room after a perfectly regular day. Getting up from an unfamiliar, uncomfortable bed, she examined her surroundings, wondering if that was all a dream. There was a large black glass pane in one of the walls. She wondered if she was being observed for whatever reason. Inside the room there was a very large vase, probably big enough to accommodate a medium sized tree, and a table. On the table were a sincere potted daisy and a watering can, both tagged with cryptic codes. A voice came, apparently from nowhere, wishing her a good morning and asking her to water the plant. Confused, she angrily asked where she was or who were they. They boldly explained that they had her in captivity and if she did as requested they’d let her go, but if she refused, they could rid themselves of her with the push of a button. Deciding not to test her luck, she simply agreed; after all, watering a plant wasn’t the hardest of tasks. She carefully picked up the can and slowly watered the small plant. She asked for further orders, but there was no response.
 She put down the can and observed the plant. It started to shake. She was no botanist, but she had a hunch that daisies were not supposed to shake frenetically right after being watered. Suddenly, tentacle-like stems sprouted from the dirt near the plant. They flailed around aimlessly for a few seconds before darting towards the dazed girl. She had no time to react, as two of them grabbed her head and forced her mouth open while the third shoved itself down her throat. Deep inside her, she could feel it releasing something warm from its pores. She started struggling and with great effort, managed to free herself, falling down. With a sticky green substance dripping from her mouth, she screamed for help, but all she could hear was the heated discussion from her captors. One of them, with a raspy old voice, was claiming this wasn’t supposed to happen and they should cancel the experiment immediately, but at least two or three other people, one of them apparently a woman, were telling him to quiet down and just wait. While the woman was still on the ground, the tentacles once again lunged at her, this time aiming for her crotch. Tearing right through her clothes with immense force, they double penetrated the woman. She moaned in pleasure as they filled her with the mysterious warm substance. They were playing around with her insides, fiercely ramming themselves in trying to go further and endlessly secreting their substance. Soon, more tentacles sprouted and lunged at her, going inside her mouth and accompanying the other tentacles in the lower orifices, while some other just kept her tightly bound and caressed her, ripping apart all her clothes. By that point she was completely covered in the warm green substance, and so filled by it that it started oozing out of her nose and eyes.
	By the time the tentacles were done with her, she was but a mess, writhing on the ground, unable to think. It was then that she felt an uncontrollable urge to get inside the dirt. She crawled to the large vase, already filled with soft dirt, and stuck her feet in it. As soon as she did, her feet slowly spread into roots that firmed themselves in the dirt. Slowly regaining her composure, she realized she was turning into a plant, and once again screamed at her now silent observers, but she could only hear them chatting in agreement. Whatever it was they originally intended seemed to be working. She felt something wrong with her legs. Looking down, she noticed they were joining together and becoming stem-like. She felt the very structure of her body slowly change as the transformation crept up. A large shower came out from the wall and positioned itself right above her. As the water poured down on her she felt a demented pleasure and the transformation suddenly sped up. Her entire body slowly acquired a verdant green hue and her hair fell as it got gradually substituted by clean white petals. Leaves sprouted from all over her, and her fingers grew and bent into long tentacle-like vines that firmly attached themselves to the dirt. The cell structure of her entire body slowly changed as her organs dissolved themselves into stem.
	The woman could no longer think properly. All she wanted was water and sunlight. Her body still had the shape of a woman, but she was now completely a plant-like organism. As the shower stopped and retracted inside the wall, she slowly stopped any movement and just stood there. After a few minutes of complete stasis, another woman, in a white lab coat, entered from a hidden door, undetectable from the blinding lights. She quietly walked near the plant girl and started examining her, poking and feeling her while occasionally taking notes. Unexpectedly, the plant girl removed her fingers from the dirt and firmly grasped the woman with them. She felt an urge to reproduce, and that woman seemed fit for it. Maybe it was her old self wanting to take revenge, maybe it was her new body taking over, but she proceeded to violate the woman, thrusting several tentacles in all her orifices, penetrating so fiercely that she feared she could rip the woman in half. She only stopped after the woman, now a crying, almost savage, naked mess craved for the green substance. She then lifted her up, planted her right next to herself, and hugged her tightly as she painfully underwent the same transformation. Once again, the shower watered both of them and there they stood, unmoving. The plant girl had made her first companion. The scientist, in her stead, was struggling keeping her final human thoughts, glad that the experiment was a success, but worried that maybe they wouldn’t do something. She lost her train of thought, and got worried that they wouldn’t water her often instead.
	In the following months, the plant women became more and more plantlike. They grew and spread themselves through the entire laboratory. The girl, now taking over the building, would never get to know why did they take her or what was the point of that experiment, but it didn’t really matter, as her captors had already been turned into plants as well. The plant people made a hole atop the laboratory and now there they live, barely sapient, until the end of their plant-like lives.
