Twisted Transformations

Nobody moved for a few minutes. Zach eventually asked. “How long is this break going to be?”

Delilah smiled, “As long as it needs to be. You’re all free to do what you want while we wait. I’ll just bring you back when I need you all here.”

Zach immediately left the dais and went over and hugged Lynn. “Don’t worry, we’ll get through this.” Lynn let out a muffled cry as she nodded. Zach once again tried to remove the gag from Lynn’s mouth, but couldn’t. He looked for a clock and felt his pocket, hoping his phone was there, but in both cases, he found nothing. “I’m sorry, Lynn. Sorry, you got dragged into this.”

Lynn shook her head violently, then pulled him into a hug and rested her head on his shoulder. Lynn gave the other women a glare that Zach didn’t see, and then she gently led him away from the group towards a bar that was in the lobby of the hotel.

---

As Zach went to Lynn, the other five women looked around, unsure what to do. Piper moved close to her mom. Heather went to talk with Melinda. So, Xin, not wanting to deal with Heather, approached Caroline and Piper.

“Hi, Caroline and Piper, right? I’m Xin.”

Piper said, “So, you slept with that creep's wife?”

“Piper!” Caroline scolded.

“What?! It’s true, right? And he is a creep, no matter what that demon says.”

Caroline pinched the bridge of her nose. “That doesn’t matter. What if insulting him loses you points? Right now we have zero. Delilah was clear that we would be eliminated if at any point we have negative VP. I don’t want you to end up as a thing or worse. So please, watch what you say.”

“Fine, you have a point.” Piper turned back to Xin, “But you did sleep with her, right?”

Xin nodded, “Yeah… I didn’t know she was married, though. We met at a bar and… well, we hooked up, and Professor Blackstone walked in on us.”

Caroline extended a hand, placing it on Xin’s shoulder. “You’re not to blame for Heather’s cheating. Judging by Zachary’s questions about your knowledge of the matter, I don’t think he really blames you either. He might not be thrilled with you, but he didn’t seem to have the same anger he clearly had towards his ex-wife, or Melinda. Piper, I want you to be honest with me right now. Did you spread rumors about him?”

“Calling them rumors implies that they weren’t true. He would always be checking me out and gawking at me, like I told you back then. He would also wait outside of some of my classes in the hall. I’m not the only one who thought he was like that, either. Quite a few classmates I knew heard he was practically stalking a few girls, at one time or another.”

“I have a hard time believing that,” Xin said defensively. “Professor Blackstone was always respectful towards all his students. I don’t think I ever saw him check out any of them.”

Piper gave Xin a sympathetic look. “I’m certain he did. Why did you come over to us anyway?”

“I… I didn’t want to be alone and… well…” Xin’s eyes flicked towards Heather.

“You didn’t want to be around Heather. Fair enough. I wouldn’t want to be around her either; she’s radioactive.”

“Piper, stop that.” Caroline said, “We all need to work together if we are to get through this.”

“No, mom. We don’t. To get through this, we apparently need to please Zach and do better than everyone else in the challenges. Frankly, Heather is likely at the top of Zach’s shit list. I’m willing to bet she’ll end up getting eliminated. Being all buddy-buddy with her is likely to result in Zach disliking us. Especially Xin. Also, Xin, I hope you understand, but if you were looking for an alliance, my mom is my priority after myself.”

“I get that. I wasn’t really, I just… didn’t want to be alone.”

Caroline reached out and hugged the young woman. Piper sighed, thinking Great, she’s adopted her. One more thing to worry about.

---

Heather walked over to Melinda, who had moved to a nearby table, “Hey, can we talk?”

Melinda shrugged and gestured to an empty seat.

“I’d like an alliance. The two of us are going to have a hard time surviving this competition without an ally.”

“I maimed him. He deserves to hate me.”

“That doesn’t mean you should suffer whatever fate that demon has in store for you. He isn’t going to just get over it either. I can tell you that. I know that he’s struggled with the pain from that injury for years. That’s why I’m coming to you, though. Out of all of us, the two of us are going to have the hardest time. We need to do well in the challenges, or we probably won’t last more than the round. Heck, I doubt that Zach will even touch either of us.”

Melinda shook her head, “I’m not saying I won’t help you at all, but I’m going to try and earn his forgiveness, or at least acceptance. I fucked up. I knew I fucked up then, but didn’t see the point of admitting to what I did. All it would have done is ruin my life. I didn’t have any money to pay for his hospital bills. Maybe I can start paying back my debt, now.”

“You were practically a kid when it happened, Melinda. You were what, eighteen or nineteen when it happened? It was a mistake. You didn’t mean to hurt him.”

“It wasn’t a mistake. I deliberately sabotaged his bow. I was stupid, yes, but I knew what I was doing was wrong.” Melinda stood up, “Maybe you should try taking some responsibility for your own actions to if you want to survive this.” Melinda then walked back to stand in front of the scoreboard and just stared at it.

Heather sighed. Well, shit. There goes the only person here who might have been an ally. I am so fucked.

---

Sometime later, a bell tolled, twelve times. Across the room, Delilah spoke loudly and clearly, “It’s time.” She sounded giddy with anticipation.

Everyone made their way back to the dais, but no one sat down in the chairs that still had visible restraints attached to them. On hearing the twelfth chime of the bell, Zach realized something and immediately removed the gag from Lynn’s mouth. “There you go. Are you okay?”

“Uh huh.” Lynn nodded, “My mouth is a bit sore, but I’ll be fine. We’ll figure this out, Zach.”

“How touching.” Delilah said, “Now, everyone, take your seats. Don’t make me ask twice.”

Everyone begrudgingly took their seats, knowing that Delilah would punish them if they didn’t. Zach hesitated, looking at the throne. As he sat down, he said, “Don’t you have anything less ominous than this throne. I feel like it’s what a Dark Lord would sit on in some kids' show.”

“Well, you are their Lord now. So it’s only fitting that you have a proper throne. Now on to the festivities.” Delilah said with a clap of her hands. “Now, before we begin, I wish to go over two things. First, I have one veto to use. Where I can replace the results of a vote with whatever I want instead. Don’t worry too much, though, I’ll typically do it for a good reason, not just to torture you.” Heather let out a snort of derision. “Second, whichever TF you don’t receive that gets the next highest number of votes will roll over as an option for the next vote. Now I’m sure you are all waiting in anticipation for what the audience thinks of you. Let’s reveal the results of the Best Girl Poll.”

The screen above Zach displayed the results of the poll.

1st - Xin Lee +6000 BP
2nd - Lynn Bowen +5000 BP
3rd - Caroline Brown + 4000 BP
4th - Melinda Clawthorn + 3000 BP
5th - Piper Brown + 2000 BP
6th - Heather Pierceson + 1000 BP

Xin let out a surprised squeak, “I’m first?! Why?”

Delilah chuckled, amused, “Probably because you weren’t aware Heather was Zach’s wife, and the Audience felt sorry for you. Though I wonder how the Audience will react when they learn what else you’ve done.” Delilah had a sinister grin that made Xin shrink back in her chair as if she could hide if she appeared small enough.

“Speaking of that,” Lynn began, “Your introduction of me was total garbage. I’m not a perverted stalker like you made me out to be. I also haven’t done anything but be supportive of Zach, even with Heather; I was there for him.”

Heather thought, Yeah, right, that’s why you constantly needled me.

Delilah laughed, holding her stomach. It was a high pitched and without real humor. “I do so love the delusional ones. Watching as your delusion is shattered brings me so much joy. Now let’s begin. We’ll be going in the order of the popularity poll. So Xin Lee, you’re first up. Please join us up here.”

Xin flinched when Delilah called her name. She did move, but Zach could see she was extremely nervous. Delilah ran a hand along Xin’s cheek, “Now, my dear girl, you were a tough one for the voters. So tough in fact, you got a tie. Any guess as to what lost?” Xin shook her head, avoiding looking into the demoness’s eyes. “Hmmm… well, I’m sure your parents will be thrilled to have a dutiful daughter who takes her studies seriously and will actually play the instruments they spent so much time having you learn. You’ll be getting Crescendo and The Good Student.” Delilah tapped Xin on the head with her scepter, and Xin’s body convulsed from the top down as her reality was altered. “So Xin, tell me, how do you feel?”

The Good Student: Xin is a good student, but she doesn’t look the part. Xin’s intelligence will now be tied to how well she pulls off the schoolgirl look, where she could actually gain intelligence if she does it well enough. [Student]

Crescendo: Xin is a talented musician because her parents insisted she learn, but she doesn’t like to play for an audience. Now her arousal will slowly build over time, with only two ways to decrease it. The first is through intimate acts with Zach, and the second is to play music for others, which will transfer her arousal to those she plays for. [Musician]

“Me feel bad. Like big bad. Head hurty. Is Xin dummy now?”

“Well, those silk pajamas most definitely don’t make you look like a schoolgirl.”

Zach said, “Damnit, I really didn’t want her to get that one.”

Delilah rolled her eyes. “Don’t worry, Zachary. She has a solution to this problem. She even has a solution to this problem right now.”

“How? She doesn’t have any other clothes with her.”

“Simple, she could strip out of her clothes. After all, a naked schoolgirl is still a schoolgirl. Plus, we wanted to let you have the option to see her naked, and for her not to be a total bimbo. Her intelligence will not decrease when she takes off her clothes, but it can increase. There are some exceptions to this, but generally speaking, that’s how it works.”

“What?! Me no get naked.” Xin covered her chest with her arms defensively and blushed at the idea of stripping in front of Zachary.

Delilah shrugged, “That’s your choice. Also, how’s the other TF feel?” Delilah slowly circled Xin, running a finger along her back. Delilah whispered into Xin’s ear, “The thought of stripping in front of all these people, of having them stare at you, desiring you, I bet that gets you all worked up.”

Xin took a step away from Delilah and towards Zachary while turning to face Delilah.

Zachary stood up and put a hand between Delilah and Xin, “I think that’s enough, Delilah.”

“Oh, I would agree.” Xin’s face was flushed pink. “Xin dear, I would like to remind you that the only ways to decrease your arousal now are through acts with Zachary and playing an instrument for an audience. I wonder just how turned on you’ll get before you come running to Zachary.” Delilah waved the scepter at Xin another time, and Xin’s outfit transformed into a schoolgirl outfit. It was less revealing than Xin thought it would be for her intelligence to be around what she thought it was before, but the skirt was still quite short.

“I’m giving you one complimentary outfit. If you want more, you’ll have to buy them with BP. You may have a seat.”

Xin returned to her seat, pulling at the hem of her skirt that was ridiculously short. She was clearly embarrassed and frustrated. Delilah turned to Lynn. “Lynn Bowen, please join us up here.” Zachary returned to his own seat a moment later.

Lynn sighed, glared at the demoness, and strode up the stairs and got up close to Delilah’s face. “I don’t know how yet, but I will figure out a way to destroy you for dragging me and Zachary into this.”

Delilah gave her a toothy grin and gently pushed her back with the scepter. “As I said, Lynn, I think you are my favorite. I look forward to seeing you try. Now on to your transformation.”

“Which, again, your description of what I wanted is bullshit.”

“OH?! Really? Are you sure? I made sure to pull the info right from your subconscious. Swear to Lucifer.” Delilah held up her right hand in the air. “But why don’t you tell the Audience what it was you really wanted?”

“Either of the two besides He’s Mine. They both suck, but at least they would improve things for Zach. I think if I had to choose, though, I would say His Problems are My Problems has a slight edge at sucking less.”

“Well, maybe you’ll get the one you wanted next time, as His Problems are My Problems came in second. So it will be rolling over. I do have good news for you, though. You got the other one you wanted: He Deserves Better.” Delilah tapped Lynn on the head a bit more forcefully than she did Xin, causing Lynn to stumble back and land directly in Zachary’s lap.

He Deserves Better: Lynn thinks the world of Zach and that he deserves the best. Lynn doesn’t think anyone measures up to that standard, including herself, though she thinks she is the closest to it. Lynn will find herself actively trying to improve and curate Zach’s harem, pushing each woman to make up for her own failings and serve Zach as he rightfully deserves. [Bottom Bitch]

+1 VP Sit on the Master’s lap like a good girl. (x2 First)

Lynn shivered as Zach put his arms around her. “Lynn, are you okay?”

“Huh? Oh yeah, fine.” OHMYGOD!OHMYGOD!OHMYGOD! He’s holding me! This is a dream come true. Even if I will be his queen, it’s only right that he has others… wait… that’s not right… DAMN HER! Lynn looked at the other five women. She immediately realized that each of them had something that she didn’t. Something that could be used to improve Zachary’s life. Hmm… this isn’t as bad as I thought it would be. Lynn looked at Heather and smiled. Oh, she will be a great toy for him to play with when he wants to get rough. Now that I think of it, she could also be his maid. Zach and I will need a nanny, too.

Delilah tapped Lynn on the head with her scepter, “Hells to, Lynn, are you there?”

“Huh? What?”

“So, how do you like your new state of being?”

“Not overly thrilled, but it isn’t as horrible as I thought it would be.”

“See, I told you I’m not just here to torture you. Now go back to your seat.”

“I like the one I have just fine.” Lynn retorted, causing Zach to raise an eyebrow in surprise.

Delilah got up in Lynn’s face this time. “I wasn’t asking.”

Lynn glared at Delilah but got up and went back to her seat.

Zach thought, Has Lynn actually been into me? She seemed… pleased?

Delilah wasted no time. “Caroline Brown, would you join us, please?”

Caroline didn’t make any fuss, but just went up on stage. “Can we get this over with? It’s late, and I’m tired. Also, I was wondering, does Xin have a transformation rolling over?”

“Well, of course, I didn’t bother mentioning it because I assume people could simply deduce that the TF that got the next highest number of votes was the only TF she didn’t receive. On to you, though.”

Caroline sighed, “I’m assuming the one I didn’t want won. It’s that type of show after all.”

“Oh, you’re no fun, even if you are correct. Like Mother, Like Daughter took first handily, and by a singular vote over third place, Deliberate Wardrobe Malfunction took second.” Delilah tapped Caroline, and unlike the last two, Caroline didn’t have any reaction.

Like Mother, Like Daughter: Any physical transformation Caroline or Piper undergoes, so will the other. [MILF]

“Is that all? Are we done?”

“Yes, we are.”

Caroline went back to her seat and folded her hands in her lap, while pursing her lips.

“I suppose that is one strategy for dealing with this. Now, Melinda, come up here to receive your due.” Melinda went up and made an effort not to look at Zach. “Melinda, you look like you have something you want to say. What is it?” Zach had one fist balled, and his left hand was gripping the arm of his throne as tight as he could.

Melinda had her arms crossed and shoulders hunched as she spoke. “That I’m sorry, Zachary. I… I didn’t mean for my actions to hurt you like they did. I hope you get the option that fixes your hand, and I hope I can someday earn your forgiveness for the pain I’ve caused you all these years.”

Zachary was tempted to just stand up and punch her. He’d been wanting to do that since he learned what she had done. Instead, he chose to remain silent, but his anger at her was evident, repentant or not.

Delilah smiled, “So refreshing to have someone actually own up to their actions. Not that that will save you from judgment. But your remorse might have earned you some points with the Audience, since they did select the option you asked for. You will make one sexy nurse. Behind HELLO NURSE! in second place is I Can Do Better, which will be back next time.” Delilah booped her on the nose with the scepter.

HELLO NURSE!: Melinda will fill out a sexy nurse outfit far better now. Her figure will be enhanced, and her hair will grow out to bombshell proportions. She will also either need to wear a sexy nurse outfit or get used to regular catcalling, leering, and even the occasional groping, as others will involuntarily do those things, and she won’t be able to protest. [Nurse]

Melinda’s hair grew out, down to slightly past her shoulders, while gaining a lot of volume. Her hips and ass grew as her waist shrank. Finally, her bust expanded out, causing her scrubs to ride up slightly, exposing her midriff. Even her black eye was gotten rid of.

Piper wolf whistled as Heather openly gawked at the woman, and even Xin was having a hard time not staring at Melinda. Zachary reached out and smacked her on the ass hard.

+1 VP Spanked by the Master like the naughty girl you are (x2 First)

Melinda stifled a scream as she bent over in surprise. She bit down on her lips to not let a cry of pain escape. Most of the other women winced and turned away, except for Lynn and Caroline. Lynn seemed to be taking mental notes about Melinda. Caroline, on the other hand, was frowning. Caroline actually spoke up, “So, you are just going to do what you want to us.”

Melinda spoke up before Zach or Delilah got anything out, but both were clearly going to respond. “Caroline, it isn’t like that. At least I’m hoping. Reread the second half of my transformation. That’s why your daughter wolf-whistled at me, too.”

“I wolf-whistled because you are hot as hell now, sweet cheeks,” Piper said in protest.

“See what I mean.” Melinda did take a step away from Zach so as not to be spanked again. She also grabbed the front of her scrubs and lifted the bottom slightly and tied it back, showing off her midriff, while also rolling up her pants to her thighs. “Hopefully that will reduce at least the groping.” She said a little glumly. “Can I go back to my seat?”

Delilah wagged her finger while clicking her tongue, “Not yet. I have one more thing for you.” Delilah waved her hand, and Melinda’s outfit transformed into a white sexy nurse costume.

“Just like with Xin, this one’s complimentary, if you want a change of clothes, buy them. Now you may go sit.” Melinda returned to her seat and winced slightly as she sat down, as her ass still stung.

“Piper Brown, it’s your turn up here,” Delilah said, and gave her a menacing smile.

Piper took a deep breath in, and her mother squeezed her hand in comfort. She walked up the steps of the dais with her eyes closed and fingers of both hands crossed, while muttering under her breath, “Please, not the perverted one. Please not the perverted one.”

“Not the perveted one EH?!” Delilah repeated loud enough for everyone to hear. “Well, I guess you are in luck. That one took last.” Piper breathed out a sigh of relief and opened her eyes. “Hmm… then again, it is tempting to use my veto and give you that one. I wonder how you’ll handle being around the others with that.”

“Please… please don’t.”

“Nah, the Audience was clear in what they wanted. They wanted you to be a good little, obedient, and customizable girl for Zach. I’m not going to deny them what they want. Your life is going to be a lot more like a video game from now on, as you got RPG Player Character.” Before Piper could respond, Delilah bonked her on the head with the scepter.

RPG Player Character: Piper loves RPGs; Now she will be a PC in her very own RPG. As she gains VP, she will gain attribute points to be allocated. But PCs don’t assign their own points; the player does, and so Zach will be the one to distribute them to customize her build. [Gamer-Girl]

In front of her eyes, a blue text window from a video game popped up in mid-air, with ‘Loading…’ appearing with a progress bar underneath it. A moment later, the bar completed, and a character sheet appeared in front of her. It listed a bunch of different numbers, like all her measurements. There was also a skills page and a kinks page. Piper scrolled through the pages and was fairly certain all the information here was accurate. “Great, so I’m his doll now.”

“Perhaps, perhaps not. Zachary, I would like to let you know two things: you actually have a few starting points to distribute, after all, that is how character creation normally works. Second, while you won’t be able to do it a bunch, you will be able to respec your build for her later. So you aren’t completely locked in, but you should actually consider your choices.”

“I’ll keep that in mind,” Zach replied, and he found Piper glaring at him defiantly. “I’m not going to do it now if that’s what you were worried about, Piper. After all, this could affect your mother, too.” Piper paled at that realization, and her defiance faltered for a moment before she walked off the platform. Caroline hugged Piper before they both took their seats again.

Delilah then turned to Heather, “Now last and least, Heather Pierceson, come here.” Delilah crooked her finger at her.

Heather wasn’t stupid enough not to go, but once she was on the stage, she did mouth off. “Go fuck yourself, and Zachary, you can go fuck yourself too if you think I’m going to come begging you for squat.”

Zachary stood up and got in Heather’s face. “That’s fine with me, because I wouldn’t give you anything either. You threw away years together, and for what? I still don’t even know why. So go fuck yourself, because I’m telling you right now, we’re done. I was officially done with having to deal with you ever again, earlier today. So, good luck surviving because you won’t be getting help from me.”

Heather’s lip was quivering, but she didn’t back down. Zach was done and simply looked off into the distance above the others, not wanting to make eye contact with anyone right now.

Delilah smiled at Zachary’s response. Oh, this is perfect, I do so love a Master who will actually punish the girls. “Hmm… I wonder if you will be able to keep up that resolve.” Delilah grabbed Heather’s face, and she wasn’t gentle about it. “I’ll have you know, I was considering using my veto on you, too. So, I could give you a second or third option. I’ve decided to humor the audience, though. They’ve been nice. Not to you, but to Zach, so I’m going to reward that choice instead. That being said, I so look forward to what Zachary is going to make you do for him, as his little Domesticated bitch.”

Heather’s face drained of blood. “That’s right. You’ll never be employed again. To make any purchases, you’ll need Zach’s permission. You’ll clean and cook for him. Tend to his needs, and if he ever has any, with you or otherwise, you’ll take care of his children. Even better, Zachary might still get what he wants next time. As Cheaters Never Prosper came in close second. Just short of a tie. I do so hope it wins next time. Enjoy, I know I will.” Delilah tapped Heather with her scepter, and Heather trembled and fell to her knees and braced herself with her hands on the floor.

Heather was crying silently. My career, my life… I’ve lost everything now. I’m now exactly what my parents always wanted me to be for Zach. I pissed it away, and now I have nothing.

To rub salt in her wounds, Delilah bent over slightly and said, “I want to let you know that control of your finances includes your finances here, meaning your BP. Not that you have very much of that. Now take your seat.”

Heather stood, making sure that Zach couldn’t see her tears, and hurried off the dais. Once she was seated, she closed her eyes tightly.

Delilah continued, “Now, for the Master. Zachary, my dear boy.” Delilah pinched his cheek as she said that, but he swatted her hand away.

“Stop screwing around, Delilah.”

She stood up straight, “Fine. Spoil sport. As I said before, I was saving my veto to honor the generosity the Audience has shown you. I Can Do This All Day won by a significant margin. Second place was also a near tie. I’ve decided to let you pick one of the others to get as well. Which would you like?”

All three options were displayed on the screen above him. He took a minute to read over the options again. “Master’s Command. I don’t trust that the other one would be accurate about who has and hasn’t paid for their sins, as it were.”

“Very well then.” Unlike with the contestants, Delilah didn’t touch him with the scepter. Instead, a shadowy energy engulfed the throne for a moment and then faded, but everyone thought that the throne looked blacker than before somehow.

I Can Do This All Day: Zachary will find his stamina nearly bottomless, his refractory period nonexistent, and soreness, physical pain, and fatigue will quickly disappear. [Fitness]

Master’s Command: Zachary is the Master, and his women need to understand that. Zachary will be able to give a command each day to each woman. They will be compelled to obey for the remainder of the day. On their date night, Zachary can give three additional commands. [Corruption]

Zachary felt the changes immediately. His joint pain faded, and he felt invigorated. He tried to close his left hand, and for the first time in years, he didn’t cry out in pain when he did so. He did notice something odd, though. “Delilah, I thought this would fix my hand. When I close it, though, it still feels like my grip is weaker.”

“You asked if it would hurt, and it doesn’t, does it?”

“It doesn’t.”

“I didn’t say it would be completely healed. Though disuse of the hand has played a part in what you are experiencing. Give it time.”

Zach nodded, “Thanks for this. I’m not forgiving you for dragging Lynn into this, but thank you for my hand.”

“You’re quite welcome. Now on to a final piece of business, before you are given the tour. The order of your date night is determined by the popularity poll, with a better position resulting in a better spot. Based on previous seasons, contestants with date nights later in the round tend to do better. So the order is: Heather, Piper, Melinda, Caroline, Lynn, and finally Xin. I wish to emphasize this next point. You will spend that night in Zachary’s room, and you will be spending it in his bed. You are to be in his room no later than 10 pm, unless you have permission from me. If you are late or refuse to get in bed with him, you will be penalized harshly. Do I make myself clear?” Delilah got nods from everyone. “Wonderful. Now, Zachary, tonight you have a choice. You may invite anyone to join you in your room, and if they wish to join you, they may. It is voluntary for both parties for tonight only. The rest of you will be rooming with one of the other contestants each night.”

Zachary considered whether he wanted company tonight. “Do I need to decide right now, or can I do it after the tour?”

“Anytime before we tour the Master’s suite is fine. Now, everyone, please follow me.”
