Mary

Janice went back up to her room and checked her e-mails again, noticing one from Mary.

'Dear Janice,

You were right about the serum, I’ve never felt or looked better!

However, I was wondering, how often do you get the injections, and would it be possible for me to have another sometime?

Sincerely,

Mary'

With everything that happened with John Talbot, Janice had completely forgotten about Mary. She responded, telling Mary to visit her house after work to have her second dose, and to just come straight inside.

Janice heard the knocking on the door as she heard the sound of it opening.

'Hello? Janice?' Mary’s voice echoed through the house. Perfect timing.

'I'm in the kitchen!' Janice called back as she pulled the serums out of the fridge and placed them safely on a counter beside three needles. She heard the front door close and the clattering of Mary's heels as she walked towards the kitchen doorway. Janice quickly turned and moved into the adjoining dining room. She knew she had to keep herself hidden for now, but Mary was her best friend, and Janice knew she would accept her new form quickly. She heard the heels stop.

'Janice? Where are you?' Mary asked, confusion in her voice. She heard her heels walking on the kitchen tiles, much slower than she had earlier. Janice waited a little longer, wanting to make sure Mary was hopefully closer. 'Hello?' The heels stopped again. Janice turned the corner, seeing Mary standing in front of the serums, looking at them. Even from her bad angle, Janice could tell that Mary's tits had clearly increased by a cup size, and that her ass had similarly grown, while her waist had noticeably shrunk. It was amazing to see the transformation on someone else.

'Hello Mary.' Janice stated. Mary looked up and screamed in terror. What was this creature? Janice quickly approached, closing the short distance. It didn't matter if she was scared, soon she too would look and feel just as good, 'It's okay, it's still me.' Mary froze, taking in what she was looking at.

'Janice?' She asked, disbelievingly. Janice smiled.

'The same.' Janice stated calmly, holding out her hand, 'I promise you, it's okay. I’ve never felt better, and you can too. Join me.' Mary looked at Janice's hard, smooth, yellow hand and then at her wasp-like body before turning back to the serum.

'This is what it does, isn't it?' Mary asked, terror in her voice as she started backing up. She said she loved it in her e-mail, why was this so difficult for her? She could embrace becoming the perfect lifeform. She needed Mary to join her.

'You don't like it?' Janice accused.

'We-we need to get you help. Stop production. This can't be allowed to-'

'NO!' Janice shouted, cutting Mary off. She cowered and pulled away further, backing into the corner beside the doorway. She looked over to it. Mary would accept Janice as her Queen, whether she liked it or not, and she wasn’t going to let her escape. Janice leapt forwards and grabbed Mary, picking her off the ground, 'I am sorry for this, but I need you.' Janice then dragged Mary over to counter with the serums and needles and forcefully place her on a stool before grabbing everything and turning so she could watch Mary as she filled all three syringes. Mary turned to look at her, her eyes going wide.

'Wait, please. You can't give me that much!' Mary pleaded, her eyes filling with tears.

'Oh, I'm not.' Janice stated, placing two of the syringes back down on the counter.

'Please, you don't need to do this.'

'Yes, I do.' Janice stated before injecting the syringe straight into Mary's arm, who howled in pain. She then picked up another syringe before turning and grabbing Mary again, who at this point had tears rolling down her face. She dragged her friend over to the basement door and unlocked it before carrying her down the stairs. Mary hadn't done anything wrong; she was just misguided and would learn soon enough. She had no anger towards her friend and wanted to keep her safe until she was ready to join her hive.

'Janice?' Alec called out, appearing at the bottom of the stairs, he was clearly leaner and more muscular, his shirt stretching in places. He stared at her blinking for a second, 'Is that Mary? What did you do to her?' Janice placed Mary on the ground beside him.

'You'll understand soon enough, my love.' Janice said empathetically as she grabbed him and kissed him on the lips. He tried to pull away. He still didn't love her. Janice broke the kiss and stabbed the needle into his arm, injecting him with the yellow serum. He screamed in pain and surprise. Janice quickly turned and climbed back up the stairs. She could hear him chasing after her.

'Janice! You need to stop thi-' He shouted before she closed and locked the door. Janice then walked over to the bench and grabbed the final syringe full of the serum, injecting it into the inside of her elbow, where the skin was still soft. She hardly felt the pain now, or maybe she just didn't care about it anymore. Finally, she put the serums back into her fridge, before going upstairs and getting into her bed.
