Elizabeth blinked her eyes thinking that her vision must be blurry, but as she plodded forward, dragging her suitcases behind her, she realized that there was nothing wrong with her vision. Rather, as she kept walking down the path she realized that her sight was clearing.
"Ailsa..."
"Blair..."
"Lachlan!"
She called out as she moved forward. There was no answer. She stopped and turned around to see if the kids were right around her as they had been just seconds before. Her heart was thumping in her chest like a bass drum! They were gone! Dropping her luggage she ran back the way she thought she had come from. Back towards the road as she called out in ever increasing panic!
She ran five minutes back toward the road and then stopped. There was no way that it was that far away. Thinking quickly, she turned her right foot ninety degrees from her left and turned. Repeating the process one more time she ran back toward where she thought her bags were. Backtracking for five minutes, she figured she should have been back where she started, but her bags were nowhere to be seen in the dense mist.
Panic twisted her stomach into a knot, her heart was throbbing in her ears, and she felt like her neck was pulsing and tightening all at the same time. Turning in circles, she screamed, "Ailsa!"
"Blair!"
"Lachlan!"
She screamed until she was heaving for breath. As minutes marched on towards an hour, calm settled over her. Turning in circles, she tried to gage which direction seemed the clearest, and she started running. Everything was wild and weird, she felt weird, she ran as hard as she could but the fog barely dissipated. Several times her balance shifted and she stumbled. Stopping for a second to get her bearings, she turned right and ran on.
Finally the murk seemed to clear so she sped up. Tilting into her run she was pumping her legs as fast as she could just to keep from falling on her face. The haze ended like running through curtains and suddenly she was blinded by the sunlight shining directly in her eyes. Stumbling to a halt, she threw her hands up trying to block the light.
"Oh my god!" Blair gasped.
"Elle?!" Lachlan cried, "Why are you naked?!"
Elizabeth blinked her eyes. The world came into focus. She saw Blair standing just to her right. She was wearing a blue and deep violet kimono with red, green, and yellow flowers. Her hair was long and black and glossy. It fell straight down her back all the way to her bum. She had only a parasol in her hands, white tabi socks and natural wooden geta on her feet, and she had long, triangular, furry, black fox ears!
Turning to Lachlan he looked like a boy sized robot. His eyes were mechanical and glowed red. His hair was spiky and unnatural, like it had some sort of hair product in it. He was wearing white plate armor. He had a sword on his hip, sized for a ten year old, and a starburst shield on his left arm, and behind him, grown from his back were large mechanical wings like that of an angel that shined like every feather was some form of synthetic light.
Elizabeth gasped, and then what Lachlan said started to register and she looked down…
She was no longer clothed in her heavy wool sweater and denim jeans, or her heavy winter jacket. Her bags, backpack, and luggage were gone. On her shoulders was a large wolf fur mantle. Her voluminous breasts were barely contained by some sort of leather bra with silver plated underwires that clasped behind her back while the top tied behind her neck. Beneath the bra she wore a wolf fleeced, leather corset made with metal ribbing she could only imagine was supposed to stop some form of slashing attack from disemboweling her. Below the corset was a thick leather belt sewn with small d-rings all the way around its length. Hanging from the d-rings, a sword slapped her bare-naked left hip while a dagger was on her right, and connected to two d-rings beneath each side of the buckle of her belt was a flimsy fleeced loincloth that hid nothing!
"Lachlan!" She shrieked in a hysterical panic, and felt her mouth and cheeks move around her teeth weirdly, "Close your eyes! And don't you dare open them until I say so!"
Lachlan snapped his eyes shut, as Elizabeth turned around to see if he had obeyed. As she snapped her head around, her ears bent and fell with her mood before twitching with her anxiety and humiliation, her long curly brown hair whipped around behind her and lashed against her broad muscular tush, and a few strands fell into her eyes. Brushing them aside, she twisted and placed a hand on her completely naked right buttock and saw that there was absolutely no hind loincloth! Nothing! Just her ass, and a tail?!
She tried to scream but it came out more as a grunt! She twisted this way and that, but no matter how she looked at it she had a long honey brown tail that grew out from between her ass cheeks just as if her coccyx and sacrum had never fused to the sacral promontory. Her tail was one-hundred and twenty-one to one-hundred and fifty-two centimetres long, and it had a line of thick but short and soft honey-blonde hair down the spine before encompassing the last thirty centimetres and growing longer but still soft and curly. Shifting about, back and forth, she felt like she was standing on the balls of her feet, her balance was precarious, and she didn't quite feel right. Looking down she was greeted by split hooves and not toes!
"What the bloody hell!" She shrieked as she shifted her weight and shuffled around as she watched her own hooves work!
"Elle?" Lachlan gasped in shock at her course language.
"You shut it Lachlan," She snapped as she turned back around to check on him, "You just keep those eyes closed!"
As she whipped her head again she noticed the weight difference and the movement of her ears. Grabbing them she ran her fingers down their long triangular length. They were longer from tip to tip than her shoulders were broad.
"I," She finally gasped as her appearance reminded her of her self description the night before, "I'm a dark elf!"
Twisting to grab her tail and stroke its entire length, she saw Blair looking at her. When she turned her attention to the girl, she blushed and put her two pointer fingers on the sides of her mouth. Elizabeth's eyes opened wide in surprise and she let go of her tail and used her hands to feel her face. Very quickly she found two small tusks protruding from the corners of her mouth. Quickly opening her jaw she felt around and found that they protruded from her jaw, from her gums, just below her teeth and curved out so that they stuck out of the sides of her lips.
"So I am part dark elf and something else," She guessed out loud, "Orc maybe? I envisioned myself as being part hero too. I wonder what part that is?"
"Um, Elle, can I open my eyes now," Lachlan asked.
"No!" She and Blair hollered together.
Looking around for anything else to wear, she looked worriedly to Blair and hissed, "Help me!"
Blair stumbled as she tried to walk in the tight fitting kimono and rigid geta, but she made it just in time to lean against Elizabeth and pull the wolf fur mantle from her shoulders. Together they unbuckled her belt, and wrapped the wolf fur around Elizabeth's hips, then buckled the belt once again. Only once that was done did she realize that Ailsa was nowhere to be seen.
"Okay Lachlan, you can open your eyes," She said as she turned in circles and cast about looking for Ailsa before asking, "Have you seen your sister? Have you seen Ailsa?"
When he did finally open his eyes she saw that the metallic plating must have had some form of thin translucent skin because he blushed furiously once their gazes met. He broke eye contact first and cast his gaze down at his feet as he cleared his throat and admitted, "Elle, I just want you to know that, um, you're, um, very pretty…"
She blinked her eyes in surprise as a very large bug buzzed past her ear and she casually swatted at it to drive it off. Kneeling down, she wrapped Lachlan in a hug and squeezed him tight against her bosoms before pulling back and giving him a kiss on the cheek, "Thank you Lachlan, I appreciate that."
Standing up, she swatted at the bug as it buzzed her again and turned to Blair, "Blair, Lachlan, have either of you seen Ailsa?"
"No," Blair answered.
"I walked out of the cloud, or whatever that was, to nearly run into your behind," Lachlan added.
Elizabeth blushed fiercely and pursed her mouth before retorting, "Yes and we are never ever going to mention that ever again, are we, Lachlan?"
His glowing red mechanical eyes blinked as his mouth opened and closed several times before he finally answered, "Yes ma'am, yes Elle!"
"Ailsa," Elizabeth yelled, then turned and called, "Kids, follow me. We'll walk towards the house. Maybe Gabriel will know what has happened to us and how we can change back."
"Once we find him," Lachlan added sarcastically, "Maybe, if this isn't why no one's been able to reach him."
"Yes," Blair agreed with a nod of her head as her long fox ears tracked the 'vroom vroom' of the persistent bug harassing them.
Elizabeth cast around for any of their possessions and found only a small satchel of food. Looking inside it contained a water flask, a slab of smoked ham, cheese, and loaf of bread.
"Well, this won't tide us over for three days," She grumbled with a murderous thought of Francisco waving goodbye as he drove off.
With a baleful glare at the gate and road now seemingly a hundred metres away she asked, "So where do you think that fog came from, and where has it gone now?"
"I don't know," Blair answered as she tracked the 'vroom' sound to a creature that was too large to be a bug, "All I know is that it felt like I was in there for hours."
"Same," Lachlan agreed then asked hesitantly, "What happened to Ailsa? Why didn't she come out with us? Did the cloud consume her somehow?"
"I don't think so," Blair replied with a shake of her head.
"Come on," Elizabeth growled, "We have to get to the house and find Gabriel. Then maybe he will know what to do."
As they walked she called out periodically, "Ailsa!"
They walked until the light was starting to dim, "Ailsa!"
Her ear twitched as she heard the 'vroom' coming in to buzz her again. She readied herself to strike, and as the little creature came streaking in every muscle in her body tightened up.
"Wait!" Blair screamed as her kimono suddenly exploded below revealing a white sarashi binding her breasts above her obi while wearing only a skimpy white fundoshi for underwear. The lower half of her body was a pale white blur as long lithe white legs pumped hard and fast before she launched into the air and spun like a top before landing. As soon as she landed and stood up straight her clothing fell into order hiding long black fur that started at her mid-thighs and covered her lower legs and lower hybrid-foxes hind legs and pawed feet clad in geta so that her kimono and sarashi looked like she hadn't just performed a move that all but trained acrobats would find challenging. Turning to Elizabeth and Lachlan she showed them her prize, a small green hummingbird caged inside her clawed fingers.
"Look!" She gasped breathlessly.
They all gathered around Blair and gazed at Ailsa in shocked amazement. She was roughly seven and a half centimetres tall. She was pacing back and forth in between blairs fingers like it was a cage, and she was waving arms that were small green hummingbird wings as she was saying something but all they heard was high pitched whistles.
"What do you think she's saying," Lachlan asked.
"That something is up ahead of us," Elizabeth answered as she motioned for Blair to open her hands up so that she could offer Ailsa her hand to stand on.
"Is she naked too," Lachlan asked while squinting his eyes, "She seems to be emitting some form of glow, or light, but I think...I think she's naked. Not like you Elle. I mean, really, really naked."
"Then close…your…eyes," Elizabeth scolded, "She didn't ask for this to happen, just like the rest of us, and not all of us came out of the fog with our clothes. So, don't make a scene. It's embarrassing enough for us."
Lachlan nodded and turned away, then looked back over his shoulder and apologized, "Sorry Elle. Sorry Ailsa."
Looking down at the tiny hummingbird sized girl, Elizabeth sighed, "I am just thankful that you are alive! I thought we lost you!"
Ailsa whistled furiously as she told them everything that happened, but none of them understood. Using only one finger, Elizabeth stroked Ailsa's red and purple feathered hair and her long green tail feathers before she whispered, "You are so cute! But, we have got to hurry and get to the house!"
Ailsa whistled again and shook her head, but Elizabeth set her on her shoulder and led the way down the two tire rut tracks leading to the house.
——(!)——
The sun was down and the stars were out and shining brightly, and they still hadn't made it to the house. Elizabeth had been warm all day despite barely wearing any clothing, and yet, the cold temperatures were starting to goose her skin.
"Elle," Lachlan whispered.
When she looked around he simply pointed to Blair who was shivering.
"I think we may need to stop and start a fire," He suggested.
"We might be only a few metres away from the house though," She answered with a shake of her head, "Besides, I have no way of starting a fire."
"If we move off the road and find a good spot to camp, I can get a fire started," Lachlan replied.
"We can't leave the trail," Elizabeth retorted, again rejecting the idea.
"What does it matter anymore," Blair hissed through chattering teeth, "We have been walking for hours. Obviously the trail is moving on us like it did Francisco. He wasn't lying, and we may never reach the house if we stay on it."
Elizabeth stopped then and looked from Blair to Lachlan. Ailsa had long ago hopped down into her cleavage for warmth and fallen asleep. She knew what they were saying was right, but she didn't like it. Not one bit.
"Fine," She growled, "Then let's see if we can find something we can shelter in."
Blair and Lachlan sighed in relief as Elizabeth turned right and led them into the woods. They walked for another hour and then the forest opened up into a small clearing. In the center was a single majestic walnut tree with a small clear spring beside it and shallow dugout beneath thick entwining roots.
"Yes!" Lachlan chortled as she ran ahead and examined the site.
Quickly he came back and started foraging for firewood while Blair found stone for a firepit. Within a half-hour they had a small fire quickly warming the small dug out as Elizabeth handed out food to the children. Lachlan waved his food away as he gestured to himself and explained, "Whatever is going on, I'm not hungry."
"Okay then," She replied as she gazed over the fire from Lachlan to Blair, "Remember when I asked you what kind of fantasy character you would like to be in my next bedtime story?"
They both nodded while she felt wings and feet pushing on her breasts as Ailsa woke up and climbed out. Once she was out she flounced down to sit atop her cleavage like it was a lazyboy recliner. Leaving her be, Elizabeth continued, "Although this isn't exactly how I envisioned myself as half-monster half-hero adventurer, it's pretty close."
"I said I wanted to be a smart, cunning, beautiful, dangerous, magical fox," Blair added with a nod before looking down at Elizabeth's breasts and continued, "Ailsa said she wanted to be a fairy because she loved the trees."
"I don't understand," Lachlan mumbled as he shook his head, "You all turned into what you wanted to be, but me, I turned into this...thing! I look like an amalgam of fantasy meets cyberpunk mashup with video game and movie hero!"
Ailsa whistled and waved her right wing, but no one understood her. Elizabeth stared at Lachlan for a long time before she finally answered, "I think…that it is because you were too vague in what you wanted to be. You said you wanted to be a hero. Well, you certainly look like a hero. A courageous warrior. Courage is the ability to act in the face of fear. Tell me Lachlan, as a machine do you feel fear?"
His eyes squinted at the question and he thought about it before he answered, "Yeah I guess I do, but I also feel more logical and analytical. Like a robot. My fear and sadness feel...muffled somehow."
Elizabeth nodded as if she understood, "That makes sense. A lot has happened recently. The loss of your parents, the fear of losing me. The fear, uncertainty, and loss from the upheaval of being taken from your home and sent to your uncle. The fact that you are trying to act like how you think your mum and father would want you to act, instead of like the child you still are. All of these feelings and desires were factored into this new fantasy person you are now. I believe you said you wanted to be a warrior," She said as she pointed to his armor, sword and shield before continuing, "Strong enough to take on anyone or anything, and fast enough that you could rescue the ones you love." She finished with a look at his wings of mechanical feathered light.
"I guess," He sighed and shook his head, "It makes some sort of freakish sense when I hear from your perspective, but Elle, what are we going to do? Are we going to be like this forever? Can we change back? What about school?"
She shook her head, she just simply didn't know. There was too much; too many facts that she simply didn't have. Handing a small piece of bread to Ailsa, she noticed that she seemed to have a thumb and at least one finger at the wrist of each of her wings. She watched her eat the small piece of bread and then she gave her a piece of cheese. When she looked up and into the flames of the small fire she stated what they all had been thinking for the better part of the day, "It feels like the trail is moving on us."
Blair and Lachlan nodded as she continued, "We walked all afternoon. Francisco said the house was only two-hundred yards from the road. Let's see that's just a little under one hundred and eighty-three metres. We literally should have been able to walk that in less than five minutes, ten if we walked really slowly."
"So the trail must be moving on us," Blair hissed nervously.
"It must be," Lachlan agreed.
"That begs the question then," Elizabeth mumbled, "Who or what is the intelligence moving the trail? And, how are they doing it?"
"Maybe it's an enchanted forest," Blair offered.
"Really," Lachlan chuckled skeptically, "Magic? I mean, I like it in movies and such, but that's just it, it's fake. Make believe! Doesn't actually exist!"
Blair furrowed her brows and looked down at the fire as she withdrew into herself.
"And yet, here we are," Elizabeth chastised him, "Don't dismiss her hypothesis just because it seems unlikely or fantastic. Look at us. We don't exactly look normal, or even human anymore! Just because television and movies make magic arbitrary and fictitious doesn't mean it doesn't exist."
"Okay! Geez," Lachlan laughed before turning to Blair, "I'm sorry Blair, I shouldn't have made fun."
"Good," Elizabeth chirped, "Now let's not have anymore picking or making fun of your sisters, okay Lachlan. Right now they are all you have for family, and we are the only people here. We need to have each other's back, not be at each other's throats or sulking because of hurt feelings."
"Yes ma'am," He sighed in a harassed tone.
"Alright then," She said again with a smile, "Then let's all lay down and snuggle up so we can keep warm."
Ailsa obeyed by snuggling down between her cleavage and bra once again. Blair laid down by the fire and Elizabeth crawled over and cuddled up behind her. Lachlan was last and was cool as he laid his arm over Elizabeth's waist, and they all laid there and struggled to find sleep.
——(!)——
"Daughter…"
"Daughter…"
Called her mother's voice as she walked through the mist. Ailsa looked around as her mother's voice moved all around her until she called out, "Mum? Mummy? Is that you? Where are you? Mum, I'm right here!"
"Daughter," The voice called again from directly in front of her, "Come to me, my daughter. I am waiting for you…"
"What?" Ailsa gasped, "Where mum? Where are you waiting for me?"
Her mother didn't respond. Only the gray mist swirling around her, leaving it's damp caress on her cheeks gave her any answer. Running in the direction she last heard the voice. The shroud was so thick that she couldn't see her own hands out in front of her, and then in a single step she was out, stumbling forward to fall just in time to miss being stepped on by a huge honey-blonde hoof.
She screamed and threw out her hands to break her fall only to find that her hands were now only a thumb and a pointer finger while the rest of her hand was the long digits of a hummingbird wing. Her arms from her biceps down were covered in shiny green feathers. Jumping from leaf to leaf she found that her hair was now long, thick feathers of red and purple. Her ears were long and pointed like elf ears but not like the movies she had seen. No, they stuck out over her shoulders and they twitched and twisted as she tracked sound, and drooped or perked up as she concentrated on staying alive as the giants all around her stumbled around.
"Aaaaiiiiillllllssssaaaa!"
She heard her name called out, but it was long and drawn out like an old cassette recording on one-quarter speed.
"Elle! Blair! Lachlan!" She screamed back but no one seemed to hear her.
Elizabeth was still stumbling around, but now Blair was now helping her wrap a wolf pelt that had been on her shoulder to around her waist to cover her buttocks and tail. Diving away from another stomping hoof she found out that she had a short tail covered in short green feathers up near her bum while the tip had a fan of long tail feathers. Otherwise, She was completely naked and completely featherless.
Looking down at her small sleek breasts, she wasn't surprised they weren't larger, after all they hadn't been all that large before, but her pectoral muscles were very thick and muscular. The next thing she noticed to her surprise was that her normally pale white skin seemed to have a greenish hue to it now. Elizabeth and Blair were on the move again stomping around forcing her to dive and jump out of the way. Quite by accident she leapt high in the air for her, though only about a half meter by normal size standards. Without thinking she started flapping her wings. To her it sounded like an old propeller airplane engine trying to start, as she beat the air with her wings and then stopped and then started again. The engine started then stalled, started and then stalled, and then started and with a 'vroom vroom' she was streaking through the forest at what felt like three-hundred and twenty kilometres per hour!
She couldn't help laughing and shouted out, "Woooo hoooooo!" As her tiny body left a green fairy glow trail behind her!
As she flew she tried pulling her legs up to her body like a bird and found it immediately caused wind drag and more work for her wings. Letting her legs back down, she put them together and pointed her toes like she was diving into water, and she found this increased her aerodynamics. She laughed again as she flapped her wings even faster. She must have been flying close to four-hundred and eight kilometres per hour!
Her eyes opened wide in shock as something dark flew right at her! Screaming on instinct, she braced herself for impact when she felt the muscles in her buttocks and lower back tightened as her tail flexed and rotated her feathers and she suddenly turned forty-five degrees right and pitched upward at a ninety degree angle.
Sighing in relief she couldn't believe the near miss with what looked like a large beetle. It had been nearly as big as she was!
Dodging tree limbs and leaves, she shot out of the canopy and climbed thirty feet into the sky! It was so blue. It took a few seconds to figure out how to hover, but once she got the hang of it she spun around to get her bearings. There were gray clouds on the horizon, to the north she saw the roof of an old two story colonial plantation house. To the south she saw the road and the turn off leading to the gate where Elizabeth, Blair, and Lachlan should be.
She heard the squawk of larger birds and she saw a great golden eagle take flight. Thinking of a few fairy movies she had seen when younger, she thought it best to dive for cover before she found out if she was on the eagles menu of appetizers!
It was so exhilarating to fly, she had no idea it would be this fun! Once she was below the canopy again she heard the voice again, "Come to me, my daughter. I am waiting for you…"
She could feel the call coming from nearby. Veering off to her left she found a small clearing with a single solitary tree in the center. Making three loops around the base of the tree, she saw a small dugout perfect for camping, and a rock encircled spring near on the north side of the tree.
"Aaaaiiiiiilllllsssssaaaa!"
She heard her name called by Elizabeth and she darted away from the tree and sped back to her family. Just as she flew in, Blair moved so fast that she actually seemed to be moving at normal speed. Her Kimono exploded into a flurry of movement and before she knew it she had to come to a screeching halt before careening into Blair's fingers.
She was sure that even with the reversal of her momentum she should have been hurt by Blair's catching her. There didn't seem to be an explanation. Folding her wings back she reached out to touch Blair's fingers. Before she could her thumb and finger hit a magical pink barrier.
Looking out of her cage, Ailsa screamed, "Hey! What the hell?!"
"Whaaaaat dooooo yoooouuuuuu thiiiiinnnnnkkkk sheeee'sssss saaaayyyyyiiiiinnnngggg," Lachlan asked.
"Oh my god this is going to be tedious," She yelled as she threw up her arms in aggravation. Spinning around and pointing down the trail she yelled, "Let me out! I have already seen the house. It's only a few hundred metres down the driveway!"
"Issss sheeee naaakkkeeeddd tooooo," Lachlan asked as Ailsa gasped while her cheeks turned three shades of red!
Looking down at herself she couldn't see just how brightly she was glowing. To her she only saw herself. Shrieking in humiliation she fanned out her wing and tried her best to cover her front with her left wing and her back with the right as she shrieked, "Lachlan! You dirtbag! Fucking close your eyes, you perv!"
It was agonizing and embarrassing to have to listen and wait until Elizabeth told Lachlan to close his eyes and stop peeping on her. Then Elizabeth motioned for Blair to release her and offered a hand for her to stand on.
Once she was at eye level she tried to communicate again, "Elizabeth, what happened to us? I stepped past the gate and suddenly I was in a mist. I heard mum's voice and she led me through, but when I came out I…I was like this!"
"I ammm jusssttt thankkkfuuulll thaaattt yooouuu arrreee aliiivvveee! I thouuugghhhttt weee loosssttt yooouuu!" Elizabeth cried, and Ailsa thought she must have actually understood her. She was about to tell her about the house again when Elizabeth started stroking her hair and purred, "Yooouuu arrreee sooo cuuuttteee! Buuuttt, weee haaavvveee gooottt tooo huuurrryyy annnddd geeettt tooo thhee hooouuussseee!"
"Oh God!" She thought as Elizabeth set her on her shoulder, "She didn't understand, and this is going to be so tedious!"
——(!)——
"Daughter…"
"Daughter…"
"Come to me, my girl. I am waiting for you…"
Ailsa woke up and felt like she was being smothered. Heaving for breath she pushed and kicked at Elizabeth's soft honey-brown breasts as she fought her way out. Once she was out she almost immediately wished she was snuggled back down in between Elle's cleavage and her thick fur lined bra!
It was frigid, and dark…
Still she was hungry as well and Elle was passing out food, so snuggling down into Elle's bosom as best she could she sat there like an emerald ornament until she was passed a small piece of bread and cheese. As she ate she listened to everyone talk at an agonizingly slow pace until she got bored and laid back to let her mind wander as she day dreamed.
She mused on what or who the voice was. Was it? Could it really be her mother? But, how could that be? She pondered the questions, and wished she could ask Elle for advice, but knew they wouldn't be any help to her right now, as a fairy. That made her curious as to what were her abilities as a fairy?
Obviously, she speculated as she looked down her body, she could fly. Though she had imagined her wings being like a dragonfly's or a butterfly's, and on her back not her actual arms. Thinking of her tail, she never thought that fairies would have tails either. She didn't look anything like what she had seen in the movies, and then there was her clothes or lack thereof! What the hell happened to her clothes, her bags, her stuff?!
Sitting up, she decided to try and meditate. Maybe then she might feel her magic, after all she had wanted to be able to grant wishes, so if she could do that then it stood to reason she ought to have other magic as well. Closing her eyes, she tried to block out the talking and float, but every time she was close Elle would say something and the vibrations of her speech would tickle her bottom. She tried several times but the outcome was always the same. There were just too many distractions.
Once Elle and Blair finished eating, and they were all done talking, they began getting ready for sleep and so Ailsa took the opportunity to crawl back down into Elizabeth's bra and sandwich herself in her cleavage where it was warm. Everyone was tired, except for maybe Lachlan who was a robot of some kind at the moment, but he laid there nonetheless with his eyes closed and at least pretended to sleep. Ailsa was no different, with her belly full and feeling nice and warm, she quickly fell asleep.
"Daughter…"
"Daughter…"
"Come to me, my girl. I am waiting for you…"
Ailsa woke up with a start and the echo of her mother's voice still in her head. Looking around she found that Elizabeth's breasts were squeezing her firmly into the wolf fur, and with every deep slow breath that she took the press of those giant mammaries was making her more and more claustrophobic. Wriggling her arms and legs she tried to push herself out until she had to use all the strength she could muster push those great bloody soft and bloody fat bosoms apart just enough to...get...free!
As soon as she was free she unfurled her wings and with a mighty sweep shot out into the cold night air. With a steady 'vroom' she circled the tree and the camp, and then she swung out and made a loop around the clearing before returning to the tree. Landing on a rock near the spring she walked to the edge and looked down into its depths. It was so clear and pretty, almost glowing beneath the full moon's light.
Looking up and turning around she finally called out, "I'm here! Mother! Where are you?"
Nothing and no one answered. A cold stiff breeze blew across the spring and ruffled her feathers and goosed her skin. Turning in a circle again, she yelled, "Come out and talk to me, or I'm leaving, and I won't come back."
"Oh daughter...my daughter. You must learn patience my dear," Came her mother's warm voice from behind her.
With a quick 'vroom' of her wings, Ailsa jumped with a start and landed facing a woman with pure white skin, bright emerald eyes that glinted with mischief, and dark cherry red hair that nearly reached her knees. Her eyes shined in the moonlight and Ailsa saw tears coursed down her cheeks as she laughed musically and wiped the tears away and smiled as she purred, "Hey baby! My little girl…how have you been? I've missed you so much!"
