Cross your Heart By FoX, fox_@mindspring.com Jen's life has just been changed from the visit of the White Robed figure, but the meaning of it's visit to her is still a mystery. What does it want? What does it plan to do? Jen dosn't know, and her step-sister Kim doesn't even know it exists...but they are about to have their lives changed, forever. ================================= CHAPTER 2 ================================= Jen work up the the blazing, ear-piercing sound of her alarm clock going off. It was only 3 in the morning, but she did have chores to do. Her step-father was starting to get old and she needed to take over most of the outdoor jobs while Kim cared for him. She had to hurry, as school was starting at 7:30. The night before still echoed in Jen's head. The white robed figure, the lecture that she recieved, and even the reading of her notepad. She thought that most of it was just that, a dream. One thing still bugged her though, the fact that nothing like this happened until she pulled the god's eye rock from the wall. She put on her clothes and started downstairs. After hours of chores, she finally looked up into the sky and saw that it looked like rain. She headed back to the house expecting everyone to be inside but instead they were outside staring at the same spot in the sky. Jen looked up and saw a bright red light falling from the sky. She turned her head just to hear her step-father address the family. "I told you all, but no, you thought that I was crazy. It's here to choose a host." he said with worry. The family all looked up but saw it just hover there. Not doing anything. Slowly, it began to fade away into the darkness of the upcoming storm. Kim opened up the door and began to pull their father back into the house. "Come on dad, you need your rest. Plus, Jen and I have school in an hour and I don't have time to worry about you." Kim said. Jen went back upstairs and closed the door to her room. She began thinking about what just happened, and how the robed figure said the demons would come from the heavens. But why was there only one single red light. It didn't make sense. She took off all of her clothes and stood completely stiff for a moment, lost in her own wonder of what was going on. She looked down at her chest, remembering how the girls always made fun of her small humps. All the other girls in her class had full blown breasts, and they were only 16 too. She could never figure how they could. She put on her training bra then slipped on some "dressier" jeans, and a white shirt. Her shoes we're fine, so she just slipped them back on. As she was leaving the room she saw Kim coming out of her room. Jen kept walking towards her as Kim called. "Come on Jen we have to get to the bus stop before......" The entire room, everywhere she looked was completely white. She looked around calling for Kim, but she was no place to be found. Then the white figure's voice came to her again, "Beware of the panther......Beware of the..." the voice faded out and then she blinked and saw Kim standing before her, listening to what seemed like the end of a sentence. ".....the rain starts. We wouldn't want to get all wet before school now would we?" "um, no, I suppose not." Jen said. "Hey, are you alright?" "I'm fine. Come on, lets go." School went according to how she was used to it. She especially had a ball in her gym class. Gym allowed her to practice her flips, leaps, bounds, everything. As she was flipping, in mid-flip everything went white again and she was suspended in mid air. Nothing but pure thoughts flowed into her head. There was no voice, nothing but images, wonder, and confusion. The room appeared again and she fell to the floor. Right when she got up, the bell rang. She smiled thinking of how lucky it was to have gym at the end of the day. It made doing the chores at home easier, as she could just work in her gym clothes. She went to the bus but was stopped by another girl. The girl held her hand against Jen's shoulder, preventing her from moving forward. Jen throught at first that this was just a girl looking for trouble, but then saw a small tatoo of a black panther embedded on the girls left shoulder. "Hmm, so you're Jennifer eh? I've been looking forward to meeting you." the girl said. "And why is that?" Kim walked up to the two. Jen didn't know what to think about where she came from, but she was glad to see her "sister". Instead of waiting, the girl let go of Jen and slapped Kim on the right side of her face. "For both your sakes, I hope you don't try that again" the girl said walking off. Kim turned to Jen. A confused look overtook her face. "Try what? What was that all about?" "I dunno" Jen said thinking. The bus ride was long, but it went past quickly as Jen tried to think of what was happenning. After they we're dropped off, Jen and Kim went home and continued their chores. The day passed and Jen finally got back inside the house. She saw no lights on and went immediately into her room, she slid the door partially shut. The rain finally started, she looked outside of her window to see raindrops hit everything...the desert sands, the cacti, the car, everything. It gave her a peaceful feeling until she started hearing the white figure's voice again, but this time, everything didn't go white. "In everything, there are two sides. In what your people call science there is matter," the voice pauses, "and antimatter. But just the same there is life and antilife. The antilife that your world is facing was the same one that destroyed another peaceful world. As the lighter side of that force, it is my job to make sure that your world dosn't fall to the same fate, but I cannot act upon the antilife alone. Like the antilife, I need a host. I've been observing you. You are strong in spirit, you have lived and continued life where other's would have quit. I accept you as a host, but will you willingly allow me as a guest?" Jen thought for a moment. Then answered the voice with a wisper, as not to wake her new family. "I guess". The gold rock change color to a dull blue. Then the blue got lighter and lit the entire room. Across the hallway, Kim opened her eyes to see only white, and the white robed figure standing before her. She didn't get to think, or talk, but the figure addressed her. "Your world is facing an evil, and your sister has been chosen as it's protector. Guide her well". The white faded and she looked out her door and into the hallway to see a blue lite emmiting from her step-sister's room. She ran silently across the room and opened the door to Jen's room to see her hovering a foot off the ground, though completely awake. Kim watched as Jen looked down at her shoes. Kim stared down and saw the front of her shoes. She could see the from of Jen's toes. Jennifer started talking, not loud enough for anyone outside the room to hear. "oohhh.....this feels pretty darn good. I wish I could explain it Kim" she said with a smile. Her toenails got longer and broke through the shoe's material and emerged through little slits. Jen then watched as her toes tore through. She could tell they we're much bigger, but they were still very female looking toes. Then her heel broke through the material. Her foot then went through an enormous groth spurt and got wider and thicker. Slowly tearing the shoe until the bottom fell loosly to the floor. Her foot was not the size that kim remembered her mom's to be. The growth then went to Jens calves. First they got about 4 inches longer, raising the bottom of her jeans up. Then while the inside of her calves remained the same size, the outer calves began curving outward while the area by her ankles remained their normal size. The stretch was pulling the pants higher until it stopped just below the unstrengthen calf muscle. Then it moved onto her thighs. First her hips spread out, stretching the pant's waistline. Her thighs then began to get longer. Then the outer thighs pushed outwards on the pant leg. This began pulling the pants over her calves. They grew for about 5 seconds then stopped. The white figure's voice was heard again. "I dare not mature her beyond this for now." and then faded away. Kim took a look at Jen. Her upper body was the same, but her lower body was different. It did look more like an adult's, maybe around 26 - 28. Her legs had the same strength but we're now much more mature looking. And her feet much larger. Jen now stood almost 4 inches taller then Kim, and Kim was taller just moments before. "Damn Jen, you're looking good." "Yea, but what will our family say..?" "We'll just have to find out tomorrow. I'll give you some of my jeans. Maybe they won't notice." "Maybe...." Continued in Chapter 3.....
