That will require a blessing of a different kind, but... the Lord provides.

Finding a place to sleep was quite easy - after all, with the city locked down, there were only a few tourists left that hadn't managed to get out in time and were now stuck here, preyed upon by Hell's denizens. Of course, a number of hotels and B&Bs were closed due to lack of patrons, but Penny and Ellie managed to find a room before the sun had fully disappeared from the sky - albeit one with a queen-sized bed instead of two separate ones. As they checked in, the front desk clerk was obviously smitten with Penny's appearance, the clerk's eyes running over her alabaster skin and the prodigious swell of her bosom. Penny could not fault her for that - for to look at her was to gaze upon a small measure of God's perfect creation.

After they had bought a frugal dinner from a vending machine, the friends retired for the night and sat down together at the small table in their room to eat - and it was there that the full extent of Satan's insidious plan was revealed. Ellie hadn't been eating, or rather nibbling on, her sandwich for more than a few minutes when she slowly put it down and began sobbing. Penny jumped up and hurried over to her friends, divine boons jiggling and bouncing with her quick movements.

"What is wrong? Why dost thou cry - art we not doing the Lord's work? Thou shouldst rejoice..." But Penny had known her friend for years, had been on mission with Ellie more times than she could count. No matter how exhausted they had been, Ellie had always been smiling contentedly after carrying out the Almighty's will all day. And now, with His blessings clearer than ever... "Something is wrong, is it not? Canst thou tell me? I'm sure that with God's divine guidance, there shall be a way."

"I... I have been trying, Penny! I really have." Ellie looked up at her friend's unmarred face, her own streaked with tears. "All day, I have joined you in prayer, basked in His light shining through you, but it's still there!"

"What is? Ellie, thou hast to tell me!" Kneeling down before her inconsolable friend, Penny grabbed her hands. "I shall do my utmost to help you."

"I... I think it's best to show you... And I have to undress for that." Standing up, Ellie began to undo the upper of her dress with shaking hands.

"Oh." Penny's heart sank - this could only mean one thing. There had to be changes to Ellie's body, and the way she reacted to them, they were decidedly not blessings of the Almighty. "Very well, thou art free to do that."

It was even worse than Penny had feared. As Ellie slipped out of her black dress, nothing much was visible at first. Her bra and panties seemed a little tight, at most, but then, her friend turned around - and a black, sinuous tail with a spaded tip whipped through the air, coiling around Ellie's leg shamefully.

"Oh, Ellie!" Embracing her friend from behind, Penny felt tears well up in her eyes - and her bountiful breasts press against Ellie's bare back. "Why didst thou not tell me? Were thou afraid I would judge you for it?"

"Y-yes... no... I could barely think straight..." Shoulders shaking with her silent sobs, Ellie grabbed Penny's arms and held on to them tightly, the words spilling forth now that she finally found the strength to talk. "It grew when we visited the Montgomery's... a-and I thought that if I prayed hard enough, it would disappear, and... and then you got blessed and I grew hopeful. Maybe, if I spent enough time in your presence... but it only grew longer, and then these... urges began."

"What urges, Ellie?"

"The more your blessings grew, the closer you got to His light... the more I desired you, the more I hungered for you... Oh God, you must think me monstrous!"

"I could never. Though thou art undoubtedly touched by the Dark One..." Ellie tensed up at that, and Penny tightened her hug. "Thine immortal soul is still pure, or thou wouldst already have succumbed to his temptation. But... if thou hast basked in the Lord's light all day and prayed for His guidance to no avail... I fear the Devil has his claws in you deep. But fret not; I shall pray for deliverance with you, and together, we shall banish his influence."

Guiding her friend to the bed, Penny made Ellie lie down on the covers, taking her place next to the bed, kneeling down and folding her hands in prayer.

"O Lord, thine humble servant ask for thine guidance once more.
We beg of thee, show us a way to deliver this one from the Lord of Hell's grasp."

Already, Penny could feel the Lord's divine light fill her, nipples stiffening and poking into her dress. With every word, His influence on her grew, assuring her she was on the right path.

"Thine light guide us,
thine will strengthen us,
thine boons deliver us."

The warmth inside Penny grew, making her heart beat quicker and her breath grow deeper. But it was different than before; while it still pooled in her lower abdomen, there also was a distinct throbbing and pulling inside Penny's nethers, making her thrust her hips involuntarily as it grew ever more insistent.

"Thus we humbly ask for thine boon once mo--"

With a loud gasp, Penny stopped right in the middle of her prayer. The warmth of God's love was turning into a searing heat between her legs, making her lower lips twitch and pulse. A rapturous moan rose from her slack mouth as Penny felt her nethers bulge, pressing harder into her dress with every passing second, her hands squeezing down on themselves. The bliss was nearly excruciating, tears running over Penny's upturned, alabaster face, golden eyes staring sightlessly towards the heavens.

Penny's hips thrust and jerked as her nethers swelled and throbbed, their bulge sliding along her preternaturally smooth legs. She felt the heat pulsing from them as they throbbed and grew, the shape so alien yet so blessed. She felt twin sensations travel through her lower body, melding with the searing, rapturous bliss that speared through her growing lance until she felt another bulge **** its way between her thighs, a kind of sack below the holy rod the Lord was gifting her. She could feel said thick shaft throb with her heartbeat as it inched forwards, only stopping when it had passed the middle of her thigh, twitching and straining against her dress.

"O Lord, we thank thee for thy blessings that thou giveth so freely..." Penny finally breathed when she had found the ability to talk again. "Amen."

"Amen," Ellie echoed, staring at her friend with wide eyes as Penny lowered her head to look at her.

And her eyes only got wider when Penny stood, presenting the mighty lance that was tenting her dress.
