No Escape.
"Its been more than sixteen days and we still haven't heard from her Gaile… I don't want to assume the worst but there's a very real chance that something could have gotten ahold of Flora…" Nerco said fearfully as tears welled in the corners of her eyes at the mere thought of something as foul as a Breeder using Flora to carry its offspring. At this, Gaile's features hardened, "Flora is fine Nerco She packed a standard three weeks of rations in case the mission she was given took longer to complete than the assumed seventy-two hours" Gaile said firmly as he held his wife in a comforting embrace as a fiery rift opened into their foyer and two figures walked through it one male with a boneash Ōkatana sheathed at his waist and a much taller female who carried a Great Scythe slung across her back, "Merrick, Kara, great timing…" Nerco said as she descended the winding staircase that lead to the second floor of their home within Byrgenwerth.
Kara looked at Nerco expectantly as she descended the final stair and came to stand before them. "I got your Fire Message Nerco, now, whats this about finding flora and bringing her home?" Kara asked as Nerco began to fill her in on the details of Flora's mission to the Nightmare. "Her mission was only supposed to take seventy-two hours yet she's been gone for more than sixteen days Kara..." Nerco started to say before Kara cut her off. "Do you have something of hers… anything that I could use to track her because I'm not going to go blind into the Hunter's Nightmare even if it is to find Flora" Kara said firmly as Nerco produced a brilliantly polished amethyst pendant on a sterling silver chain. "This was mine but I gave it to her as a gift when she became the leader of the Choir" Nerco said as she passed the pendant to Kara who took it into her hands and began a short chant in the old tongue of the Keepers. Instantly after the chant was done the pendant began to pulse in her hand and glow vibrantly before it died down. "That's a good sign Nerco, it means that while flora isn't here with us she is still alive" Kara said with a smile.
This had of course been about eight hours ago. Kara and Merrick walked through a long snaking tunnel tunnel to find a horrifying sight. Before their very eyes was the person they had been sent to find. "Flora! Oh God..." Kara exclaimed and muttered as she walked toward the impregnated young girl only for her to weakly look up at the woman standing before her. "K-Kara?" Flora said just was weakly as she slowly came to before her eyes widened in shock "NO! What are you doing here? You have to go! If they catch you they'll do the same thing to you!" Flora shouted before Kara rested a hand on her cheek. "We're not leaving without you Flora" Merrick said as he swiftly drew his sword in two rapid slashes that cut through the tentacles that held her to the walls. Moving faster than Flora had ever seen she was being carried bridal style in Merrick's arms making Flora blush lightly before she felt a roiling force in her abdomen as she watched in horror as something lurched beneath her skin. ""Oh no… the eggs… they've hatched…" Flora said with fear lacing her voice as Merrick set her down. "That's just great what do we do now Kara?" Merrick asked as he looked to his ashen skinned lover for answers before another voice spoke up.
"You leave her to me"
Turning to face the owner of the voice Merrick came upon the sight of a woman covered in overlapping layers of a bony carapace that covered her like a suit of armor. "And you are?" Kara asked in a cold tone as she glared at the woman who continued to advance towards her and Flora uncaring of the man who had drawn his sword and pointed it at her. "She asked who you are." Merrick said as he too glared at the woman his crimson eyes set in slits as the beast within began to awaken as he willingly channeled it in case of a fight breaking out. "I am the Queen of this hive" She spoke finally after a long moment of silence before she grabbed the blade of his Ōkatana and ran her thumb down its edge coating it in her blood as she advanced on him. "Though you may call me Mairah" She said as she captured the young man in a kiss that left him weakened and drained as he fell like a bag of stones unable to move. "What the hell did you do to him!?" Kara hollered at the woman as she drew her Great Scythe from its place across her back as she nonchalantly advanced on the two without a care as she effortlessly caught Kara's weapon mid swing and snapped the polearm like a twig and tossed the weapon aside.
"Attempting to kill me? My children will have a special ire for you."
She said with a dangerous smirk as Kara felt a pinprick in her neck and fell backwards into the tentacled embrace of the same breeder that had impregnated Flora not even five hours ago. "Take her elsewhere if you're going to play with her" the Queen ordered as the Breeder bowed to her and trundled off carrying Kara in the many bubblegum pink tentacles that surrounded its mouth. Coming to stand over Flora the Queen, Mairah, bent down and crouched on one knee and took one of Flora's hands in her own. "What are you going to do to me Grimm?" Flora said with a glare leveled at the very woman she was sent to eliminate. "I'm not going to do anything to you child, though I am here to help you deliver your children." Mairah stated as several small bubblegum pink tendrils extended from her back, the mere sight causing Flora to shudder. "You need tentacles to help deliver these things inside of me?" Flora questioned, the glare never leaving her face before a look of horror took its place as the four tentacles loomed over her womanhood before they all at once darted inside of her causing her to let out an involuntary moan of pleasure, the four tendrils moved inside of her snaking through her depths until they stopped at her cervix causing Flora to look up at Grimm with a worried expression that made her smile warmly at the scared young girl. "This might sting a little child but you will deliver the children much easier." She said as Flora felt the four tendrils of flesh push through her cervix and forcefully dilate it making Flora wince at the spike of pain she felt at the sensation. Before long, she felt something slimy push through her dilated cervix and into her vaginal canal before four weak limbs pushed out of her entrance and pried it open as the first baby Breeder crawled out of her womanhood and came to rest upon her chest Grimm looked at the healthy young monster with warmth but Flora looked at it with hate and disgust as she felt the same sensations again and again as more of the baby creatures crawled their way out of her.
"Your children will need you more than ever child, nurture them well."
Grimm stated as the last of the infant Breeders crawled out of Flora's womanhood and settled somewhere near her each of the tiny creatures letting out strange vocalizations that were slowly Melting Flora's cold disposition toward them she may have been forced to carry these things to term but in a twisted way she did bring them into the world. As much as she wanted to hate them she found it harder and harder to do so as she continued to listen to the vocalizations her 'children' were making as the nestled around and on her. The largest of her litter of little monsters had made a movement toward her swollen breasts and latched onto the left one, drawing out milk that would feed it and at the same time drawing out an unwilling moan from Flora who once again found herself able to despise the little creatures. "You had best get these things away from me Grimm before I burn them all" She threatened as her cool violet eyes began to glow ember orange as an orange aura of heat began to envelope Flora as the creatures all began to flee the scorching heat she was emanating and settled around Grimm who looked at Flora with a bitter expression. "you don't want them?" She asked coldly. "We give you the gift of motherhood and you turn it down" She stated, her anger slowly rising as she quickly withdrew the four tendrils of flesh from Flora's depths. "Then you can serve a different purpose." Grimm stated as a long ovipositor bulging with eggs emerged from between her legs "You will serve as a womb for the hive rather than a mother to a single litter." At this Flora's eyes widened in horror as Grimm advanced on her with a demonic smirk on her face as her opal eyes glowed a sickly yellow in the darkness of the birthing chamber.
Elsewhere, Kara awoke to find herself in a small chamber before she was without warning pushed down onto her hands and knees as she felt something slimy caress her bare leg, it was at this moment that she looked down to see that her garb like Flora's hung in tatters off her shoulders and chest. Looking up, she spotted her lover Merrick held against the wall by strands of fleshy mold that accompanied the Breeders wherever they populated. Extending one of the many slimy pseudopods that waved around the creatures face, if you could even call it a face to Merrick's forehead he heard a dark voice speak inside of his head.
"You will watch this human."
The thing spoke inside of his mind as it Hefted Kara as though she were weightless as more of the bubblegum ping tendrils of flesh wrapped around her thighs and ankles forcefully spreading her legs giving Merrick a show of her womanhood causing the ancient woman to blush. "Merrick look away dammit!" She yelled at him but he found himself still unable to move but he could glare hatefully as he watched the Breeder's ovipositor slide into view and rub against her womanhood several times before it arched and pressed its tip to her entrance, Kara put up her best effort to resist as she clenched her vaginal muscles to keep out the unwanted invader but as it was with Flora the Breeder's muscles were many times larger and stronger than her own as the pressure on her entrance mounted the ovipositor surged inside of her depths with a single strong push causing Kara to let out an involuntary moan of pleasure as she was stretched by the egg laying organ. Merrick on the other hand was slowly regaining his ability to move as he violently thrashed in the organic restraints that bound him. "Get the hell off of her damn you!" He screamed out as he watched a bulge slowly travel up the ovipositor only to stop at Kara's entrance as a surge of fluid gushed out around the fleshy tendril and Kara's waist expanded as it was filled with the Breeder's birthing medium. Before long, Merrick watched as another bulge traveled up the ovipositor this one slightly larger than the first pressed against Kara's entrance and disappeared inside as her lower lips expanded slightly as the bulge passed them. Having none of it, Kara once again attempted to clench her vaginal muscles as the invader moved steadily closer to her womb. The bulge continued to pass into her depths until it came to a stop at her cervix. "No! NO! Don't you fucking dare!" Kara screamed out as she felt a pressure mount inside the tentacle as what she knew to be an egg was forced slowly past her cervix.
"Don't you fucking- HAAAAGH!" Kara screamed out and at the same time moaned as the first of many eggs popped past her cervix like the cork in a bottle and was deposited safely inside of her barren womb. Kara, like Flora, sobbed silently as she felt another egg pressing at her cervix and like with Flora this one and every one after it slid much easier into her womb and was packed deeper as the Breeder released another torrent of warm, sticky goop inside of her making her shudder at the feeling of the Breeder's ejaculate being released inside of her. Merrick could only thrash in his restraints and watch in horror as bulge after bulge traveled up the ovipositor and into Kara's entrance as her lips expanded with every bulge moving past them. Before long Kara's belly began to enlarge as egg after egg was pumped into her womb. Filled to capacity, Kara too looked like a mother at her ninth month of pregnancy as the Breeder's ovipositor slid out of her depths and back into its protective sheath between its hind legs as it seemed to lovingly nuzzle Kara's neck who shuddered in disgust at her circumstances.
Dropped onto the floor of the small chamber Kara was left a twitching and moaning mess of a woman as Merrick continued to thrash in his restraints exhausting himself he breathed in and out heavily as he looked to his ashen skinned lover. "Kara… Kara look at me. We'll figure this out" He said as she weakly looked up at him "What's there to figure out? I've been soiled by that thing" She said as she rubbed her swollen belly to try and ease the pain she felt. "All I want now is for the embrace of death to take me." Kara said as Merrick looked at her with wide eyes "It's enough Kara..." He said making her look up at him with a confused expression on her face. "It's enough for me to live a long and happy life with you Kara… But only if you stay alive and let me!" He yelled out at her breaking her out of her depressed stupor. Soon enough the Breeder returned depositing a haggard looking Flora who had been once again filled with more eggs she was quietly sobbing as tears streamed down her cheeks Kara crawled over to the young girl and rest a calming hand on her shoulder. "It's alright flora we'll get out of this together… I promise you that." She said as the breeder that had carried Flora into the small sealed chamber left the three of them alone...
