Ludmilla's Kingdom Part 12

>Just as Ratched was about to check the patient's vision, she was interrupted by a knock at the door. She silently motioned Jennifer to check who was there. Jennifer flung the door open to reveal a strange sight, even for a dragoness. There was a small group of dragonesses all identical to each other. They were hot-pink and bottom heavy, with rather small breasts. They wore identical little nurse hats on top of their heads and had tails that practically curled up in a ring. The strange thing about them is that the nurses appeared to be oozing, as though they had climbed out of a honey bath. It took Jennifer quite a lot of her restraint not to instantly touch them to see if the slime would come off or stick to her body.
>"May I...help you?" Ratched asked, momentarily stunned at the sight of these strange nurses. It appeared that even someone as stoic as Ratched had her breaking point when it came to weirdness. "Is this the hospital?" One of the nurses asked. At this question, Ratched's expression turned from one out of shock to her usual face. >"Great. Another genius..." she snarked under her breath before turning her patient's head the other way before he could see them. The man's road to recovery under the life of his dragoness overlords would never take place if his mind was broken even more. Jennifer decided to answer: "Why, yes, it is. I'm Jennifer Watson and over there is Ratched, the head nurse here. How may we help you?" >"Hi! My name's Joy and these are my cousins! We're here to help at the hospital! We can't wait to make the other dragonesses feel better!" One of the nurses said proudly which made the others giggle. Ratched rolled her eyes at this and walked up to the pink slimy nurses. "You want the other hospital down the street. This is a mental clinic." At this, the Joys bowed in forgiveness and left as quick as they came. "I feel sorry for the janitor." Ratched remarked as she tilted her patient's head back to its normal position.
>As Ratched clicked the flashlight in the man's eyes, his vision appeared to be normal. "So, what do you think caused those dragonesses to be so...goopy?" Jennifer asked out of curiosity. "Whatever it is, they better have not dripped slime all over my perfectly clean floor." Ratched remarked as she put the flashlight away. Suddenly, the door being kicked in and a dragoness nurse was standing there, panting with a frightened look. "Susan!" Ratched said, as she ran towards her nurse with genuine concern in her eyes. "What the hell happened?!" Ratched asked as Susan replied with a claw pointing out to the receptionist area. "Come on, kid! This could be serious!" Ratched cried out to Jennifer as she ran out into said area. When the pair of dragonesses got to the area, they were greeted by another pair of dragonesses. One of the pair was Eris who was currently busy giving all of the chairs in the reception area sentience while the other dragoness, who was black to contrast Eris's white, was watching Eris with a sadistic glee on her face. The newcomer's grin was just as insane as Eris's and a witch's hat and robe indicated that she was a powerful spellcaster. She had the exact same figure as Eris and Jennifer quickly realised they were lovers.
>"WHAT IS GOING ON HERE!" Ratched bellowed in a voice that would make even Ludmilla stand at attention. "I just bumped into my girlfriend, Morbida and since you were an easy target..." Eris explained as Ratched looked like she was ready to tear them limb from limb. Jennifer then yipped as she felt a hand on her rear. "I do say, you were right, Eris. This one does look beautiful! What do you say we have a foursome, right here?!" Morbidia asked, her voice similar to Eris's accent. "Get out." Ratched replied with a low growl. "Oh come now, you're no fun!" Eris said as she stuck her tongue out and disappeared, Morbidia following suit in a cloud of black smoke to match Eris's white.
>"I hate them! I hate them! You don't know how much they piss me off, sweetheart!" Ratched screamed as she rooted through her dresser drawers for another carton of cigarettes. Her and Jennifer were currently in her office, Ratched having accidentally scorched a carton of cigarettes to ashes out of anger. Jennifer had never seen her friend so upset before and tried calming her down. "I've dealt with some bad patients in my time..." Ratched remarked as she successfully lit the cigarette without burning it, then popped it in her mouth and blew smoke rings from her nostrils. "But those two...URGGGH! I'd rather have 50 thousand McMurphy's in this room right now then ever see those two ever again!" she said as she took another drag off her cigarette and offered one to Jennifer. "Who's McMurphy?" Jennifer asked. "It's a long story, kid and one that I don't talk about too often. I'll tell it to you some other time. All I can say is, I wish I was a dragoness back then...oh, that would have been great. Him, Cheswick and that fat Indian friend of his." Ratched explained as she sat back in her chair, finally able to relax. Jennifer thought of telling Ratched about her experiences with Eris before biting her tongue...the poor nurse was stressed out enough as it was. "I don't like troublemakers. They have no respect for order. Things should be neat and in line. >Here, Ratched paused and raised her eyebrows "Ludmilla says she'll give me control over any city I want after she takes over and when I get that city, I'll make sure to keep it within my way. Do you agree with me, Jennifer?" "Oh, it'd sound interesting..." Jennifer said innocently as Ratched broke out into a surprisingly warm smile over this. "I knew we'd get along swimmingly after our first day together. Come now. Let's see how our little friends in therapy are doing."
>Jennifer leaned up against the wall as the therapy session began. The men were all sat in a circle with Ratched in the dead centre. Jennifer was a little unnerved at the way one of them was looking at her, a large scar running down his cheek. "I'm not ashamed of you gentlemen. I'm disappointed." Ratched said in her cold professional tone, leaving Jennifer to be thankful for how kind she was to her. "Some of you are still showing no improvement whatsoever." "YOU'RE ALL MONSTERS!" The patient with the scar screamed out.
>Ratched turned on him as quick as a flash. "Mr. Collins. Didn't your mother ever teach you that beauty is in the eye of the beholder?" "FUCK YOU!" "Bad language will get you nowhere. Are you that blind to not see that what we are doing is for the good of your kind as well?" At this several of the men nodded, which Ratched noted.
>"Now I advise you to be quiet. As some of you may have noticed, we have a guest joining us today. You are not allowed to talk to her in any way as she is a mere visitor." "SHE'S A MONSTER! EVERY LAST ONE OF YOU ARE!" Collins said and leapt up from his seat, making Jennifer inch closer to the door. "Sit down, Mr. Collins." Ratched said "NO! I WON'T SIT DOWN!" "I will count to three." "YOU THINK YOU CAN JUST WALK ALL OVER ME?!" "One." "FUCK YOU!" "Two." "I'LL STOP YOU ALL!" With this, he pulled out a switchblade knife he had hidden in his robe which made Jennifer scream. However, Ratched quickly kicked the knife out of his hand and lifted the man off the ground.
>"Goodbye." Ratched then opened her mouth and shoved the man inside, his form quickly sliding down her throat. The others watched in terror and Jennifer in awe as his legs kicked and thrashed. Finally, she slurped up the last of him, sighing in contentment. "Does anyone else wish to complain?" At this, several of the other men stood up, throwing their chairs to the floor. "Well...I am still hungry." Ratched replied and licked her chops.
>"And that is all for this week, gentlemen. I do hope to see you all tomorrow and that'll we'll have a little less...interruptions. You may return to your business." Ratched announced as the patients quickly shuffled out of the room, not wanting to suffer the same fate as their companions. Jennifer's mouth was pursed open in wonder at Ratched's enormous squirming stomach...how she managed to pull off such a feat so effortlessly. She walked over towards Ratched as she finally found the words to speak. "A week ago, I was terrified but now...I'm just amazed." Ratched laughed at this and closed her eyes in true contentment. "I can teach you to do this too, if you want. Didn't you say you had a terrible time at your old job? How about paying them a little visit and gulping a few of them down?" The nurse offered Jennifer who actually took a few seconds to ponder this thought. It WOULD be interesting to see if she could master that but then decided that it would be best to try again later. "Maybe some other time. Y'know, if we can manage to get a participant that isn't so...life threatening." "At least some of the others are learning. I've always believed in reenforcement, even before I looked like this." Ratched noted as she struggled to get up from her seat due to her added weight before Jennifer helped her. "So, got any idea for that propaganda short you said you were going to make? Ludmilla told me the other day that she was excited to see what you could come up with." Here, Jennifer furrowed her brow out of confusion, trying to piece together why the dragoness queen wouldn't tell her such a thing before shaking off that thought for the time being. "Well, I've got one idea..."
>"And then, it fades to black as we see a title card: 'Dragonesses- Come Learn More'. What do you think?" Jennifer had managed to explain her idea a little more clearer than the previous attempt, due to being sober this time. "I think you need to come over here..." Ratched purred.
>After passing out alongside her lover after a long and vigorous "check-up", Jennifer couldn't have been happier. As she slumbered, she dreamt this time of being in a news station, much like the one she had interned at long ago only this time, things were different. She was the one running the show and she watched from behind see-through glass. Suddenly, the lights turned on as two news anchors were shown under the stage lights. One of the anchors was bright yellow, making Jennifer wonder just how the dragoness potion chose the hues for each individual dragoness, while the other dragoness had a blue colour scheme that was similar to Ratched. Their hairstyles were professional abet the yellow one's reminded Jennifer of her mother when she was young. >Her lips pursed as she gazed upon the other dragoness; she was like Lilly in that she didn't seem to be very pleased with her current situation. Squinted at the two of them, she noticed that they had little nametags on their clothes (Jennifer then realised they couldn't exactly broadcast dragoness propaganda if they were nude) and that thre desk obscured their figures. As soon as they were about to begin, Jennifer felt herself being pulled away from the dream by a strange force, as though something had picked her up and grabbed her. She turned to see an enormous black and green dragoness, evil emitting from her very being. The world distorted and shattered, turning into a surrealist parody of itself. "I can make it a reality for you. All you have to do is help me..." the dragoness said with a wicked voice. Jennifer shook her head, causing the dragoness to roll her eyes. "Pity." Just as a burst of green fire was about to engulf her, Jennifer awoke in terror. She heard nothing but Ratched muttering in her sleep: "Sit down, Mr. Cheswick...or get in my stomach..." Jennifer wondered if it was real before dreaming of nicer things for the time being.
>Jennifer awoke the next morning still a little shaken by her previous dream. She still wasn't sure whether it had actually occurred or not and whether or not what she had seen was a mere night vision or a glance into the future and what could be...Jennifer realised that some dragonesses had more powers than others when it came to that. She figured it was best to not ask Ratched about it for the time being and to get on with her work, which today consisted of trying to finalise her script for the propaganda piece. Jennifer still had no personalised space to call her own in the kingdom as of yet, so she figured it was best to do it at a calm and peaceful place where she could think: the forest. After saying her goodbyes to her friend and promising to be back soon enough, she made her way to the area. Some of the other dragonesses stopped and stared at her, wondering where she could be going while others stopped and waved cheerfully, having remembered her from 2 nights ago. Finally, Jennifer made it to the edge of town and sat down in the grass. Jennifer had always been an urban girl and the stress of it all was chipping away at her more and more with each passing day. Now, she finally was at peace. "How ironic, I had to become inhuman to become a better person." She chuckled to herself as she drew up ideas and wrote the script of the propaganda commercial. She wondered if she could ask Ludmilla to have her home built here as it was so serene. Suddenly, her peace was slightly interrupted by a shadow coming over her. "Excuse me." A voice said, Jennifer swiveling around in shock, slightly frightened that the dragoness from her dream had found her. Instead, it was a completely different dragoness...her scales had a light purple coloration to them while her body shape reminded Jennifer of Elsa. But it was the newcomer's hair that was the strangest thing of all, it practically draped all the way down to her ankles. Jennifer wondered who this stranger was...
>Jennifer glanced at the newcomer and smiled. It was always a fun experience to meet a new dragoness and this one was one of the most unique dragonesses she had met yet. The entire ensemble of her appearance appeared to be as though she was from a different world and her adorable face told Jennifer that this was one of the more kinder dragonesses she had seen yet...something about her appearance reminded Jennifer of a fairy tale. "I'm sorry, I was just working on a script. My name is Jennifer and you are-?" The dragoness merely giggled at this and frolicked off into the forest without a care in the world, leaving Jennifer completely stunned. She thought of giving chase to her for a few seconds before shaking it off, wondering just how strange some of these dragonesses could be. She then thought of that fairy tale idea again. "Didn't she look a lot like that drawing of...nah, it couldn't be" she said to herself as she continued drawing. She mentally noted to ask someone close to her about this strange encounter. Finally, with her work done, she decided it was best to find a dining establishment...not only would it be good for her to find out more about dragoness society as a whole, it would also let her scout out any more potential dragonesses that could assist her in her piece. After all, with such a big duty on her shoulders, it was only fit to find the best subjects possible for the job.
>She entered the dining establishment, mentally hoping that there were any interesting dragonesses there for her to meet. It would have been fun for her to follow that mysterious dragoness into the forest..."In fact" Jennifer thought to herself as she swung the doors open. "I may take her up on that some other time." As she took a peek inside the diner, she was amazed at what she saw. There were various figures, both dragonesses and humans, sitting around at various tables and mulling about. Curiously, Jennifer soon noticed that several of the humans were keeping quiet with their heads down and some were even staring intently at their mistresses. Ignoring this for the time being, Jennifer approached the counter and grinned at the server behind it. She looked almost identical to the dragoness from the market; the 'almost' qualifier being the dragoness blonde hair and aquamarine scales. Just like the other dragoness, this one had truly enormous hips that could rival that of even Helen and Chel. >Similar to Helen, the dragoness had a maternalness about her, one that Jennifer found herself being appealed to more and more. "Can I...help you?" the dragoness said, snapping Jennifer out of her staring for the time being. "Oh, I'm so sorry, I was just....never mind." The pearl dragoness apologised and quickly ordered, trying to get out of there as fast as possible after noticing the long line behind her. A thought then popped into her head and she leaned in close to the dragoness: "Wanna make some extra money?" "Meet me after my shift." The dragoness whispered and winked as Jennifer smiled back and then quickly got out of the way.
