Chapter 25:
Go Tower:
Once they had arrived at the Go Tower, Shego had been taken upstairs to the room she used to occupy, and put to bed. Erebus then placed a cool cloth on her forehead.
"She's going to be in pain for quite some time now, the transformation takes about an hour our so to complete."
Erebus said, watching as his daughter lay there with her eyes closed, groaning in pain. Her claws were digging into the sheets, creating a hole in them.
"Isn't there anyway to stop the pain, or at least make it more bearable?"
Kim asked, looking at her fiancée with concern.
"I'm afraid not. But, the good news is it only hurts the first time. She just has to get through this, then the next she transforms it won't hurt at all. For now though, she'll just have to grin and bear it."
"I don't think she's doing much grinning and bearing."
Ron said, watching as Shego was trying to hold in a scream.
Shego felt like her entire body was being cut into with a hot knife, and whacked repeatedly with a sledgehammer that had spikes on the end.
"I knew my mom said it was going to hurt like a mother fucker, but this is ridiculous."
Shego thought, trying not to scream in pain. However, it was starting to get harder to hold it in, and she began emitting a small cry.
Kim could feel her heartbreak, when she heard Shego's cries. She then moved closer to her and took a seat on the bed. Taking Shego's hand into her own, she gave it a gentle kiss before speaking softly to her.
"Shhh, Ciel, it's going to be okay."
Kim said. Shego grabbed Kim's hand, piercing her skin slightly. Kim seethed in pain a little, but otherwise kept holding Shego's hand. Kim then removed the cloth from Shego's forehead, and moved a strand of hair out of her face.
"How much longer?"
Kim asked, not taking her eyes off of Shego.
"Shouldn't be too much longer now."
Erebus said, taking a look at his watch. Suddenly, Shego let out a scream like howl and her body burst into black lightning, causing Kim to be thrown back.
"KP, are you okay!"
Ron yelled, looking at his friend with concern.
"Yeah, I'm alright."
Kim said, picking herself up off the ground and rubbing her shoulder. She then looked back towards the bed, and her jaw dropped. For there sitting on the bed, was a hellhound. Kim slowly approached the creature.
"Ciel, is that you?"
Kim stared at the creature in amazement. In her hellhound form she had pitch black fur, with the helm of awe symbol on her back, in pure white. Her eyes were a deep, ruby red color, just like her mom's.
"The transformation is finally complete. I'll go get my wife."
Erebus said, leaving the room to retrieve his wife. A few moments later he returned, and Hecate took a seat on the bed next to Shego.
"So, you've completed your transformation. How do you feel?"
"Okay. A little strange, but okay. How long will I be like this for?"
"For as long as you'd like. To transform back, all you have to do is concentrate and will yourself to do so."
"Will it hurt?"
Shego wanted to transform back, but the idea of it hurting made her uncomfortable. Sensing her daughter's uneasiness, Hecate placed her hand on top of her paw and gave it a gentle squeeze.
"Don't worry, it might tingle a little, but otherwise it shouldn't hurt."
"Okay."
Shego then closed her eyes, and concentrated on being back in her human form. A few moments later she opened her eyes, and was relieved to see that it had worked.
"I never want to go through that again."
Shego said, falling back onto the bed. Hecate couldn't help but to let out a small chuckle.
"And you don't have to. I mean, not unless you want to that is. The first transformation into a hellhound is always involuntary. After that, it's completely voluntary."
"That's a relief. I'd hate to be in the middle of driving or something, and suddenly transform."
"Don't worry, you won't transform unless you want. Also, it won't hurt the next time you do it, or any of the times after that."
"That's good to know. I honestly don't think I'd be able to handle that kind of pain a second time."
"That's understandable. Now, I'm going to go start on dinner."
Hecate then stood up, and turned her attention to the rest of the room's occupants.
"Ciel is going to need some quiet time. Therefore, I'd like the rest of you to help me in the kitchen."
"I'm all for helping in the kitchen, but I think KP should stay up here with Ciel."
Ron said.
"Mmhm, that girl cannot cook."
Monique added, causing the redhead to glare at her.
"Hey now, I have a gotten a little better."
"That may be so, but for the sake of us all you should probably stay here."
Ron said. Kim just crossed her arms and took a seat on the bed, grumbling incoherently.
"Aww, what's the matter Princess, don't want to spend any alone time with me?"
Shego asked, kissing Kim's shoulder and causing the redhead to blush.
Jim then cleared his throat, thus grabbing the attention of the two women on the bed.
"Would you mind waiting until we leave?"
"Yeah, I don't want to see whatever it is the two of you are about to do."
Tim added.
"Well, I might want to see."
Ron said, earning himself a slap on the back of the head from Monique.
"Ow! Hey, what the hell was that for?!"
Ron yelled, rubbing the back of his head.
"Ron, don't be such a pervert."
"Okay, but was hitting me necessary?"
"Yes. Now, come on. Get whatever thoughts you have in your head out, and let's go help out in the kitchen."
Monique then grabbed Ron by the arm, and lead him out of the room. After watching the pair leave, Hecate turned her attention to the couple on the bed.
"Will the two of you be alright for a few hours?"
"Sure, we'll be fine."
Shego said.
"Very well. I'll come get you when dinner's ready."
Hecate said. She then left out of the room, followed by her husband and the twins.
