Clinical Trials

Sitting there, in that chair, staring down a water elemental holding a syringe and a packet of legal documents with a pen resting atop of them, suddenly made everything so much more real. Come on, Erika thought, remember who you're doing this for! She needed the money, her sister was in the hospital and her family didn't exactly come from wealth. She swallowed, gripped the pen, and then signed her name on the line at the bottom of the contract. Her hand shook slightly as she slowly placed the pen down, still in shock at what she just did.

"Great!" the woman made of water said happily. The voice emanated from her crystal as opposed to her mouth. "Now, if you'll just follow me," she continued, standing up and gesturing to a door behind her.

Erika nodded, standing up slowly and proceeding down the hallway. Just as she got to the door, she looked back to the water girl and the exit behind her. Forget it, she told herself, You've already signed the papers, you're getting all the money you need and more, and hey, maybe it'll be fun? Cautiously optimistic, she opened the door and walked into the next room. Inside, the room was barren and gray with a simple long window along one side, through which she saw a green girl covered in both leaves and a lab coat.

Meanwhile, the water girl walked into the room behind her. "You'll probably want to remove your clothes. None of them will survive The Change anyway, and you'll be more comfortable without them," she advised.

Erika nodded, then slowly stripped down, leaving her clothes on the floor. The water girl then gently grasped her right arm and readied the syringe. Erika winced as she was injected, then as the water girl let go, she rubbed her arm gently.

The scientist took a step back and asked, "How do you feel?"

A strange feeling washed over, slowly centering on the small of her back. "Tingly," Erika said, "Nervous, and kinda scared," she added.

The water elemental nodded. "Understandable, and I'm not going to say you shouldn't be, but... There's no stopping The Change now, and if you try to resist it, it'll just become painful. However, if you surrender yourself to it, allow yourself to become something else, you'll find the process a lot more pleasant, and you may even pick-up more instincts from your future form than you would otherwise. Since you're not doing this because you /want/ to be something else, the more your body can help you learn your new self, the better you'll be able to cope with it later," she explained.

Erika tried listening, but the feelings washing over her were getting very distracting. A mound was slowly forming just above her butt while hips grew wider. She breathed sharply as her breasts began to swell, causing no small amount of pleasure. More than growing though, they seemed to be rising, as pushed by something below them. She arced her back, looked under her arm at her chest and saw growing spots of flesh beneath her breasts. Gently moving her ever-more shapely boobs out of the way, she saw a second pair of breasts developing beneath them. She let go of her chest, breathing deeply to calm herself down. Its okay, she told herself, You knew this would happen - basically all the Changed have more breasts than normal. Surely that will be fun, right? You're gonna be some monstrous alien thing anyway, what's a few more boobs gonna change?

A knot was growing in her core that now caught her attention. Her belly bulged, and Erika knew why. The whole point of this trial was to turn her into something that produced eggs automatically, and then try a bunch of different things to stop it, so as to help the various Changed who struggle with that daily. Still, watching her belly balloon out and become weighed down with what must be dozens of spherical objects growing larger by the second was extremely unnerving, even if she was expecting it.

The mass growing from her backside now commanded attention, as it was growing so large and heavy that even her sizable breasts and swollen belly couldn't keep her from being pulled backwards. She leaned forward to compensate and it drooped down towards the floor. Her pubic region had merged the growth, and her vagina was now somewhere at the end of this new, large organ that took up the entire space between her legs. Her hips had flared so wide because of it that it hardly looked like they were connected anymore. Even still, The Change continued, her dark skin turning pastel green as it hardened into insect-like chitin. Her right arm also began to turn green and her fingers became unresponsive. She watched with concerned as they fused into the scythe shape she had seen on some other bug-like Changed. There goes doing anything on my own anymore... she thought.

She was broken from her dismay when pressure began to build at the end of her egg-sac, and her opening grew more and more flushed. She hadn't even finished changing yet, but something was happening.

"Nngh," she moaned as an egg crowned and her opening gushed slimy fluids. Her body commanded her to push, and she wasn't in a position to disagree. Using muscles she didn't know she had, she force the egg to continue. It plopped gently on the floor and she was left panting. "Al-already?" she gasped out between breaths, but another egg positioned itself in place. "A-aaaah!" she cried, as it pushed itself out of her. Thankfully, it didn't hurt. In fact, it felt pretty good, but it took a lot of effort to push them out anyway.

Meanwhile, the water girl, who had retreated into the observation room, watched with interest as the plant girl took dutifully took notes off to the side.
