Miss Arachne

“Damn it, why the hell did he get the promotion? All he does it sit around all day and watch a monitor!” said a man behind the wheel of his truck. His scraggly unkempt hair blew across his face in the night air. “Dammit!” he said again as he slammed his hand on his horn. It might have been the noise that caused the figure in pink to pause. Right in front of the truck barreling down the road. A dull thump and that was the end for whatever it was that chose the wrong road to be crossing this late at night.

After the vehicle came to a screeching halt, the man rushed out of it to see what the hell he just hit. “Well, she’s definitely dead. Shit.” He ran his hands through his hair as he nervously paced back and forth. “What the hell is a little girl doing out here anyways? And what about that outfit? Some kind of costume party? Dammit!” Indeed, what he had hit was a young girl dressed in a frilly pink dress. Her neck was bent at a very unhealthy angle and blood smattered the front of her outfit.

What the man didn’t notice was the small creature that hovered over her. “Puchuu,” it moaned. “Not again.” He swiftly turned around and stared at this little pink and fuzzy……. thing that seemed to be levitating above the girl. “What the hell is that? Am I hallucinating?” The little creature shook its head “Nope, but you have to take her place. I am tired of having to do this, so I think I will try something different on you” it said as it pulled what looked like a wand out of thin air.

As a soft beam of light shot out to envelop the man, he raised his hand in a feeble attempt to ward whatever it was that this strange creature was doing to him. His body started to tingle as he felt himself change. First was his hair, which grew from his normal shaggy length down to the small of his back. He also found himself shrinking down to slightly under five feet. Looking down to see the ground rushing up at him, he was also very aware of a pair of mounds that had sprouted on his chest. The rest of his body matched his now feminine top half as the tingling started to fade.

If he hadn’t been the victim of it himself, he would have never believed that the body he now looked down at, his body, was now that of a 15 year old girl. A very well developed one at that. As she now looked up, she asked in a much higher voice then she was used to “What the hell did you do to me?” The small being waved the wand again and the soft light started to glow around her.

This time however the light that started as a soft glow suddenly turned a sickly shade of green. The soft tingle that she had felt seemed to turn into a pain that ripped through her body. “Puchuu, this isn’t supposed to happen!” Her legs felt as if they were on fire, for a moment before they split themselves in two. And then again. To go along with her now eight legs, her butt suddenly shot out and transformed into a large spider abdomen. Her new legs shifted to spindly black spider legs as well. The fuzzy creature disappeared at the same time three extra sets of eyes appeared on her forehead.

“What the hell?” she said again, this time to no one in particular. She stared at herself for quite a while before she heard, no she felt someone coming. Someone with magic. Magic that she instinctively knew she too had. Climbing up a tree by the roadside, she pulled the darkness close around her like a comforting blanket and waited. “Puchuu, she was just around here” said the small fluffy creature. “I don’t sense anyone around here” said another voice. This one belonged to a girl who might have almost been the twin of the girl that had been run over, except for her color was a dark purple. “She couldn’t have gone far, not if she turned into some sort of monster. We need to find and destroy her before she gets loose. That’s why you made us, right?”

As the two of them departed, a feeling of jealousy rose up inside the newly transformed girl. “How can she be made into something without all these flaws, when I get…..this?” as she gestured to her body. Her face turned into a pout. “Well then, I think I will just show them what they could have been.” Her face split into an almost too wide smile. “And now for a proper name…. hmmm. Maybe…. Miss Arachne? It seems like it fits this new body.”

She heard the girl and her mascot making their way back she softly said to herself, “Might sound a bit cliché, but ‘Come’ said the spider to the fly ‘and enter my lair.’“
