The Mary-Sue of Maryland: Ascension - Part 2

*BOOOOM-BOOOM*

“Jesus!” Cameron yelped with hands in front of his face, whole body tensed as he raised his foot. What was dropping in the backyard was a steel girder. A big steel girder. In fact, if it wasn’t curled into a pretzel, a series of steel twists which made it almost look fitting for a female robot wanting a bow, he was sure that it would stretch the length of the road on his block. The width alone twice the size of him.

He didn’t need to ask in order to know where this brownish twisted metal came from. The answer was obvious before it was in front of him. That didn’t mean that he wasn’t utterly panicked though, when the artist of this metal mangling made herself known.

Lily might as well been a statue of gold rising from the ground. Whether she had been sitting, kneeling or laying before, the moment she got to her feet, it felt as if she was never going to stop rising higher. Ten-feet? Twelve-Feet? Fifteen? Twenty? Cameron couldn’t get a read as she literally blocked out the sun for his shivering form on the porch, his eyes **** to bask in this deity’s substitute for solar, her body.

She was gloriously nude, a sight alone which made her physically inferior brother’s mind spin with madness, his eye twitching , body feeling hot and cold, legs weak, he could only pant as he felt the oxygen in the whole of outside bow to the floor in front of Lily.

Her skin had an even more luxurious tan to it now, going from mere sun-kissed Californian to down right Ancient-Egyptian-inspired caramel tone which literally glittered like diamonds under the sun. With her massive growth, came the increase in form to balance her out. She was simply beyond big in every sense of the word, defying the constrictions typically found on the human body with a bombastic pairing.

Her waist, where his eye-sight now laid, was a slim tome of solid muscle, curving inwardly from her ribcage and hips but only leaving pure exposed muscle in its wake, a veritable cobbled road of abs which absorbed light as a solar panel would. Her breasts were as magnificent as ever but now there was more of them, each tit probably containing as much soft flesh as Cameron held in his entire body, held up by an invisible bra which kept them firm but wobbly. There were tipped by dark brown nipples, tanned like the rest of her and surely the size of Cameron’s pitiable fists if he dared to touch them. Her lower body seemed to be one solid bed of rock, round glutes the size of medicine balls which delicately glided to thighs reminding Cameron of the rear legs of an elephant, so gargantuanly packed and solid as to keep this magnificent form standing for a thousand years. Hell, even those calves looked wider than his shoulders.

He looked up, past the breasts to the shoulders, two bulging shoulder pads of muscles which could probably fit a couple of NFL players between standing shoulder to shoulder. But they needed to be massive to support those guns, subtle veins going down their length, not aggressively cut like some body-builders, but there was no mistaken the strength behind these arms thick as people, especially if this metal bar was her handy work.

Then to her face, where her face was as model-like and angelic as ever, but there was a difference. Her hair most likely had gotten even longer than the last time, but she had done it up in some kind of fancy hair-braiding which made the golden blonde appear like a crown, Cameron having no idea what to call it, but he thought he’d seen it on Ukrainian women. The last thing he noticed before she actually spoke were the eyes. There was something so much more knowing in them now, the innocence all but snuffed to make not just a flicker of intelligence, but an all-out wild-fire. He was tired of admitting this about his sister, but those eyes were equal parts unique, awe-inspiring and terrifying.

“Brother.” She said as she crossed her arms, her form so massive that it sounded like mountains were moving their rocky peaks. “Nice for you to join me.”

“L-Lily.” He wondered how he could reasonably compose himself as he stood in her shadow, feeling as he was in the face of some iconography in some church. The eyes of something superior was on him and every subtle gesture felt insufficient, growing his insecurity.

She took a step back in her barefeet, not a speck of dirt or dew upon them despite being in the unkempt grass. “Please, Cameron. Tell me why you are here.”

It was a command, not from a sibling, but from a superior, someone whose time was precious, the fluffy tone of his sister gone. He cleared his throat, internally shaking at the concept of keeping her waiting. “I-I ran out when I heard you were working out. I thought… Well, I didn’t want you to go too far.” He put a hand on the bent steel, ensuring it was real as he put pressure on it to no effect. “But, I can see you’ve been pumping your muscles to down Herculean levels in my absence.”

”Well yes.” She reached behind her to pick up a rock around the size of his head, more like a pebble in her grasp, and she shrugged. “But that only took a couple of seconds. Physical strength has such a limit, as you might have a guess.” She slipped the rock in the crack of the shelf which was her ass, easily fitting between such impressively fit and rotund things. “It’s more for parlour tricks.” She smirked as she gave the most subtlest of flexes, a tiny clap of her behind and that stone turned to literal dust sparkling in the wind.

“O-Okay, so why were you banging this girder around?” His mind whirled for explanations of what his sister was up to in his absence.

“Why don’t I just tell you what I did while you were gone, before you piss yourself at the explanation.” She sighed as she sat on the stone wall divider between them and neighbours behind them, taller than most people but a nice seat for Lily’s impressive form. “This morning, when I was a naïve little girl, I thought the best way to build a case for dick-sucking was to read a book. I decided the local library might not have a book I wanted so I jogged to the smartest place I could think of, John Hopkins and the library there.”

”But Baltimore’s-”

”Yes a very long jog away, but I’m very fast now, so try to keep up.” She picked up another rock and crushed it between her finger tips, making Cameron jump and stay quiet. “In the library, I picked up one psychology book and finished it in thirty minutes, a thick tomb but after the first ten pages, all I had to do was give a page a quick glance over and it was stuck in my mind. The next book only took ten minutes, so I took a pile and finished it off in two minutes. I had the entire row of psychology books done and yet it sticks with me stronger than ever. I can see Civilization and Its Discontents Chapter 6, Freud talking about Eros and Thanatos as clearly as I see you here in front of me. I did a couple more sections of the library, convincing some dumb nerds to pick up the pile of books I left in my wake, but I started to get frustrated. Even with my super-speed and my amazing ability to absorb a books knowledge instantly, it was becoming painfully slow, like writing out the bible by hand or something. I decided to up my game.”

It was somehow worse than he feared. He had expected a smarter Lily to eventually come into fruition, but she was describing the process of how she’s become a super computer instead.

“I went to the computer science faculty, and after optimizing their stupid CPU to optimize processing power, I used the computing power of the newly minted L1LLY-unit to start reading books to me at .4 of a second. It was a little difficult to understand at first, but after a couple of thousands of textbooks, I was able to put two different hearing devices in my ears, reading twice the information into me. As soon as my head hurts from the information, I feel it grow stronger, allowing me to speed up the voice faster and faster.” She gave a wink and typed at her ear. “Even now, I have tiny devices attached to my ear drum, a micro-super-computer with wifi which is literally reading every piece of meta-data collecting on every human. I’m not only knowing the ideas of the greats, but the most mundane information about every human who’s ever logged. Sure, most of its useless, but I’m getting a wonderful layout of the needs and wants of this world, much better than those stupid computing algorithms dreamt up by those mathematicians we call ‘geniuses’.” She gave airquotes and scoffed. “Fuck, we were doomed a species before I came, huh?”

He shook his head, not sure what to believe and what that had to do with the metal in their yard or the degree in their house.

“And…” She raised a finger. “If you must know about the degree, that was just a nice little thing for mom to hang up to show she’s got a smart girl. A little petty considering how little it means to me, but it took such little effort to get, so I thought why not.”

”But-”

”Yes yes, I know. It’s not like I wrote a test or anything, but what better thing to prove my knowledge of psychology than using my psychic powers to make six people craft up the certificate and get it signed by four people in under fifteen minutes? It might as well been my thesis paper.” She laughed. “I didn’t even leave my chair to do it. My mental powers have grown beyond mere human as you can see.” She pointed at the bent metal. “For example…”

Without moving another muscle, the metal lifted off the ground, not slowly either, practically a space launch into orbit as it flew from the giant crater in the ground it made. He walked forward a bit, trying to catch a glimpse of it in the sky before it came thundering down, flames surrounding it as it came back to Earth, and Cameron too shocked to move.

“Eeeeeerrrrrr…” Lily gave a playful sound of cartoon breaks as it broke the laws of physics by coming to an instant stop in the air, rotating a little bit just a foot above his head. “Careful, brother. I don’t think you’re the best watcher when I do my weights!” She chuckled before moving it to the side, pointed to an empty spot of the grass before lightly laying it down, the weight still making quite the hole as it depressed on the grass. “But you can see what I mean by the limitation of physical strength. If I threw that with my hand or caught it, it would have snapped because of the **** in my hand would have exceeded the structural integrity of the the object. But with my mind? I can utterly surround the object of endless size and number, transporting them away with mere will.”

She talked about her new found god-hood as if it was a science-project, it disturbed Cameron as he felt as if the fears, which felt so far away when he fantasized even this morning, had already passed and that he was too late to save humanity. “But why?” He gulped. “Why do all this?”

”Why?” Her smirk soured, now all of her impressive blue eyes now trained on him. “The same reason everything happened, Cameron. Because a little sister liked her big brother. Because a certain big brother was so insecure that he couldn’t explain himself despite trusting her. Because of a big brother’s big ego, he trailed on a naïve girl going through some big changes instead of having an honest talk.” She stood up to her full height once more, Cameron swearing she’d even gained a few inches in height during her talk, her thighs flexing with their volcanic strength, causing the ground to actually break under her weight.“You manipulated me again and again, Cameron, but never again.”

With the latest flex, there was a grinding squirt, splattering his face with a sweet smelling white glob, covering his eyes. He swiped his eyes clean, but he wished he hadn’t.

Making a triumphant return, Lily’s cock, her cum-cannon, meat-train, shlong-battleship was bobbing right in front of his face. He was staring down her urethra, the slit wide enough to surely fit in all five of his fingers, and it pulsed out a soaked heat right into his face, the scent of Lily’s cum, the spunk with the heavenly vanilla taste, now stained up his nostrils. The pink glans was wet already, Lily puling back the foreskin to allow the bulb to fully breathe, the rest of her shaft, reminding him of a telephone pole covered in a silk tanned cover, slowly wobbling.

“But it hasn’t been wasted.” She smirked, patting her cock like a loyal pet. “After all, I grew this thing to be more like you, brother. Did you know that?” She leaned over slightly, ensuring that the tip made contact with the underside of his chin. “That sweet girl wanted more time with her brother, who seemed so odd and distant compared to before, so she thought, in her naïve logic that if she only was more like her brother, they’d have something to bond over. She adopted all your hobbies, but you still weren’t interested, so she looked for something more.. well, biological.”

”Lily… I-” Had he been as neglectful as she said? He thought he’d been doing the safe thing by keeping her at arms-length, but now it was clear how this could look cold from the way he treated her before.

“Enough.” She raised a finger. “I’m not mad at you, Cameron. I’m over you.” She sighed, idly gripping the base and wobbling it further around, the brother treating it like a loaded gun as long as those giant sperm cannonballs were wobbling below. “Plus, it’s not like I don’t enjoy this appendage. It’ll certainly make my plans easier.”

“Plans?” His heart was filled with dread.

She snapped her fingers downright regally before crossing her arms. He was a second from asking what that was for, when the parade began. Up the stairs from the side of the house, a line-up of naked models started to file into the yard. Strikingly grey eyes of a olive-skinned girl with light brown hair, a pale redhead with large pink lips, a freckled girl with brown curly hair combined with the kindest brown lipped smile, a shy glance from a university girl, her body slim but with incredible legs, a tall large busted woman with incredible dark hair and bloated lips, Cameron lost track in the collage, the girls numbering twenty, thirty then beyond forty, all kneeling upon empty spaces on the grass. The colour and sizes varied but there were two things which they had in common.

They were all worthy of magazine covers with their bodies, and those bodies were pregnant, the size of their mid-sections making the other parent undoubtedly Lily.

“I created a system in which to grade the women in the state, then commanded them to come to me. Mom was a fun test, but now I can create the most genetically perfect brood. With my semen, I’ll be able to breed the successor to Homo Sapiens all by lonesome. Like the Neanderthal before them, they will quickly out-birthed by whatever I end up calling the next evolution.” She sighed, stepping around the pregnant women like they were more like delicate flowers than individuals. “Homo Superior is so cliché.”

Shuffling over, he couldn’t help but kneel down to one of these women, a half-Asian blonde, wide eyes so still it was doll-like. He glided his hand in front of their face, their eyes staring ever straight until he touched her cheek. Her eyes darted to his hand before her head turned. “Earth Mother. This male touched me. Please smite him for such insolence.” Needless to say, he retracted his hand rather quickly, no matter how arousing her pregnant body was.

“He is forgiven.” She chuckled. “His crime is only being a brother to such perfection.” She winked. “Plus, he won’t remain completely male for long, his transformation clearly having already begun as we can see.”

“U-Ugh…” He gripped his face, hating how soft he’d become. “A-Are you serious right now, Lily?! Tell me this is a joke!” His fists slammed to his ever widening hips. “Are you telling me that you’re going to fuck every hot woman in the world to destroy men and human race!?”

“Males and homo sapiens, dear brother, those are not the same as men and humans.” She tsked. “But I’m more insulted that you think that I would actually have time for such things.” She pulled the hair of a random woman. “These women are nothing but mares, capsules for my half-human brood who will go out into the world to finish what I started while I shape the world to my liking.”

He had to hold back a powerful retch, his mind unable to connect these concepts and it was making him dizzy. “There’s no way you’re this gone, Lily. You’re acting like you’re not even human, and it hasn’t been-”

”Don’t you ever tell me what I am, Cammy.” She snapped, the power from those two fingers sounding more akin to lightning, making him fall to his knees. Her stern look lightened only after a second though. “You must understand that ‘humanity’ is more a social construction than a biological one, and such thoughts were holding me back from doing what was moral.” She turned her back to him. “Though I haven’t answered the question bouncing around your skull right now. The one about how I have impregnated this many women so fast without even having sex with them?”

She’s in your mind, Cameron. She’s fucking your brain harder than she could ever fuck your throat, and you’re just taking it like a total brain-slut. She knows that you’re harder than ever in your shorts and-

“J-Just get it over with…” He grumbled with crossed arms, falling back on his ass to cross his legs, accepting his was just a spectator to his sister’s perverted showing.

But the explanation from her lips never came, simply another snap of her fingers, not even turning to face him. He turned expectedly to the stairs, sure more pregnant babes were to come just simply to demonstrate her endless virility, but instead, it was a girl his age, not pregnant, with quite the familiar face. She was wearing as red-striped bikini, tanned skin slightly wet as she let her bouncy sandy blonde hair flutter behind her. She was a splitting image of sweet nostalgia from Cameron’s memories, but one feature was missing, her constant smile.

Mary Campbell had appeared to him for the first time since high school, but she looked as brainwashed as the rest.

“M-Mary?” He gawked out, not only shocked by the appearance of his high school crush, but shocked that she had been replicated to perfection from his memories of her by the river. It was one of his most cherished memory, but his heart twisted the second that he realized Lily knew this, that she was about to manipulate his nostalgia into something truly perverted.

“Yes. High school crush Mary decided to pay me a visit.” Lily licked her lips as she started to stroke Mary’s hair, her massive digits tangling within the bouncy locks. “And she wants to beg something.”

She looked up at Lily and her lips trembled, gasping for air after each word. “C-Could I… Could I have… y-your ch1ld, Earth Mother? I-I want you… I want your wonderful seed in me, Earth Mother.”

“Of course!” Lily clapped her hands and winked down at her. “But first, do you remember Cameron here?”

She looked forward with a confused pout at Cameron, looking him right in the eyes, but some seeing past him, like he was grass or the wind. “This male? Should I?”

“No…” Lily’s grin hooked momentarily as she shot a glance at Cameron, but she chuckled away the nasty look on her face. “But I did agree to allow you to join the club of lucky humans to carry my seed, so a deal’s a deal despite you not quite making the cut. Raise you hand.”

Her command was obeyed immediately as her hand was raised, arm shaky as Mary took short shallow breaths. “I-I am ready for your blessing, Earth Mother!”

“Ain’t it cute, Cameron?” Lily laughed as she pulled up her cock head closer to her own ginormous chest. “A superior being comes into existence within a couple of hours, and they already compare me to biblical figures!” She took her manicured thumb and took a thick glob of pre-cum upon her her finger tip, seemingly weighing it out as she dripped some back. “Homo Sapiens may deny it, but they’re nothing more than the ‘cargo-cults’ they mock. Something beyond their understanding appears, and they discard any previous beliefs in order to curry favour with the new order.” She shrugged as she smeared the pre-cum on Mary’s hand. “I mean… They’re right, but it’s just a little bit pitiable.”

“Oh yes, Earth Mother!” She screamed out as she gripped her hand. “Y-You won’t r-regret such a- Uh!” She grunted as she gripped her mid-section, bending over with gritted teeth. “Yes! Yes! Yes!” Each moan expanded her stomach out, starting at a football, but ending up like a swallowed tyre in no time. There was a snap, and that bikini top which previous held a decent pair of knockers, fell to the grass, her udders utterly sloshing with the slightest of tear drop sag, looking to be holding up five quarts of milk, nipples looking like hose-tips, milk already dribbling. She rubbed her stomach, still growing, but tears formed in her eyes. “Y-Yes, Earth Mother… Thank you, Earth Mother.”

”Huh.” Lily shook her head disappointed though. “Might have overdone the cum-load upon her palm there. She’ll probably be having sex-or-septuplets in about three months time, and despite my effect cells effect to make birth pleasurable, that still might be a bit too much...” She shrugged. “Oh well, that was probably enough to demonstrate what I’m going to do to out-breed this society. Think about it, I send all the inferiors out of the city, having a nice jerk session, then just watch as the cum rains down, making every human I deem worthy ready to birth the next generation.”

As Cameron looked from Mary to Lily, an anger grew in him. Maybe there was some cult explanation for all this, something to do with the Virgin Mary, but all he could hear from those lips was a demon. There was no sweetness in this girl anymore, just ire for those she thought below her. The Lily he knew loved all, and that was that. “Shut up!” He stood up and snapped. “Do you not love anyone anymore? Have you grown beyond compassion and care!? These are people, damn it…”

“Oh, my dear brother.” She sighed, unfurling her hair in a single flick, an epic mane casting to the wind like a proud blonde flag, and the thickness of it effectively doubling her casting shadow over him. “Of course, I still love and care. My family for instance. Despite your humanity, I still care for you like pets. Full of love, stupid love which casts me to take care of them.” She wiggled her finger and chuckled. “I may be over you, but I still want to help.”

Submit! There’s still a chance!

He had no intention to come over, but such concerns were secondary for Lily’s latest form, his feet merely levitating from the ground and floating over to her outstretched hand. She gripped one palm around his rapidly diminishing waist, almost waspish at this point thanks to his sister’s seed, and put a hand over his forehead.

“Since I’ve grown, you’ve had this terrible angst and anxiety eating at your mind, brother. I can’t help but feel slightly responsible for such feelings of inadequacy so I want to set you free of such mental conflict.” She smiled. “I’m going to let it free.”

*Crack*

There was a snapping sounding in his mind, almost making him piss his pants until he realized he was still alive, panting and gasping his face to the grass.

What the hell do you mean by that?

His face planted itself in the grass, mumbling something before he looked up, grass and dew dripping from his face. “Oh thank you, my goddess sister. Too long was I stuck in there, insisting that he become your cock sleeve the second you grew that lovely shaft!”

Oh no…

“But now I can make things right!” He bent his face closer to her feet, sniffing. “Oh my sister, my goddess, my heavens and sun, let me be your jizz-rag! Let me make up for lost time by impaling myself on your glory!”

I-I can’t talk… I can’t move… What the FUCK!?

“My, my, my.” She giggled furiously. “You’re even more perverted than I thought Cameron.” She turned her chin up playfully. “But it seems that both Camerons are terrible listeners. I’m done with wanting my brother..” She spied a single eye down. “Unless... you can convince me?”

God damn it Lily! Is this really what you want?! A perverted ****?

“Anything. Anything!” He trembled in her shadow, hands over his head. “I will devote my every being to every task you ask!”

I hope you sincerely hear me when I think this Lily. Fuck you. I’m not going to stay in my own mind for all my life. I’m stronger than that!

“I don’t need to know if you’ll obey, ****.” She elatedly giggled as she kicked his prostrated body upon his stomach, laying her toes on his stomach. “I can make you do that with ease. What I need you to do is convince me why I should want you…”

You hear me Lily? I won’t go out as a mere memory!

Cameron’s body rubbed his chin, practically mewling as he felt Lily’s weight on his soft torso. “I-I can be your little sex pet as you change the world! Bouncing and entertaining you every day. Imagine sitting on your golden throne, petting me on your lap as I keep your cock warm in my body.”

”I’m listening…” She smirked and winked.

Damn it, Damn it, Damn it! He felt his voice bang against some barrier, still unable to escape.

“A-And if you need to experiment on us useless males, I volunteer!” He licked his lips, getting as much a whiff of her foot as possible. “T-Think about it, mom was the test for getting these women pregnant, but if you can make the males pregnant too, you could speed up how quickly us stupid sapiens will be out-bred!”

“Ooo brilliant!” She leaned over and picked him up. “And you’ll be my first bro? My first pregnant stallion for my new world?”

”Oh yes! And I’ll suckle on your cock every hour to keep your seed with in me! I’ll have as many as you ask too. I’ll be as large as a house if need be!” He was shaking in excitement, the wet spot on his shorts growing as he clearly convulsed into another climax.

LILY! LILY! LIIIIIIILY! He felt that barrier and kept throwing his voice, or whatever remained of himself, at it. Suddenly, there was a bright light, making him hear his sister’s voice as if she was stuck in his mind with him.

And she sounded distraught.

You don’t love him. You don’t love him. If you make him hate you and push him away, pretend you don’t need him, you won’t love him so much.

God damn it, Lily. Your IQ is probably over 1000 and you’re hearing his most perverted thoughts and yet you can’t stop wanting to cry and cuddle with him.

J-Just make him think you’re a monster. Make him think you don’t even care about him. T-That will make it easier for both of you.

You don’t love him. You don’t love him. You don’t-

“Jesus.” He muttered out loud, somehow getting his control back as Lily dropped him and gripped her head.

“What the hell…?” She grunted before gritting her teeth. “If you think for a second that I’m not going to make you have so many of my br-”

“Hold on! Wait a second here.”

All heads turned at one who would dare to interrupt the almighty one, and Cameron winced once he saw who it was.

“Who the hell?” Lily furrowed her eyes at the girl in the yellow t-shirt, holding an knitted outfit under her arm. “Who the hell are you?”

”Nelda!” She gave a little bit of jazz-hands with her introductions before nodding. “And considering that your dick has its own postal code? You must be Lily.”

“Such insolence!” She growled and scratched her head. “Why can’t I read your mind? There’s something… there in your head.”

“In my mind?” She knocked on her own noggin. “Hip-hop dancing, two years ago. Broke my skull pretty hard, and they put a metal-plate up there.” She shrugged. “Some people said it turned me a little loopy, but honestly I don’t see it.” She looked around the backyard, seeing the towering sister and around forty pregnant women sitting still. “I mean if you want crazy, this is more my speed.”

”Metal plate?” Lily lifted her hand, levitating Nelda from the ground, the woman in glasses only looking minutely impressed. “It couldn’t be… That’s a mere science fiction cliché! It simply must be something else.”

“Maybe.” She shrugged so unconcerned that she was spinning in the air. “I mean, I don’t really know who my parents were, so maybe I’m like, the Anti-Lily or something, destined to do battle with you.” She put up her fists, giving a goofy smile. “C’mon, let’s fight and see who wins.”

Lily looked down to her brother with a raised eyebrow. “I hope you don’t mind me crushing your crush. But despite being so over you, I don’t really like having competition for your attention.”

He was about to speak up when Nelda held up a finger. “Hold on a second. Before you make me a pancake, you should know we’ve been doing some studying about you and the religion your family comes from.”

”What’s your point? A silly little fringe Christian cult which worships the Virgin Mary. Who cares.”

”We think there’s something more to it than that.” She uttered as she was upside down. “We’re going to-”

”Yes, my great-grandma in Ukraine. I can’t read your thoughts but Cameron’s are as clear as crystals.” She nodded for a second. “But I’m not in a hurry to figure this out. My plans for the town comes first, and I’m honestly pondering why I shouldn’t just crush you both and-”

“Lily?” Cameron got to his feet, brushing the grass off his clothing. “I know you’re going through some big things right now, so I just want you to know…” He moved over and hugged her thigh as tightly as possible. “I love you a lot and I’m sorry I neglected you. We’re going to Ukraine to figure out more about you. Not even necessarily to stop you, but just to do what’s best for you.”

Lily immediately covered her face, the sniffle from her nose undeniably holding back quite the sob. “F-Fine! Take your weird girlfriend out of the country. I-I’m going to be busy anyways.” She sat back down on the wall and waved her hand. “What are you waiting for? Go! I don’t want you here!”

Cameron took a couple of step backs, as Nelda touched the ground. They started to levitate once more, ejected from the back yard and placed beside Cameron’s car as there was a little crying sound echoing through the air. He sighed and turned to Nelda. "I Thought I said to stay in the car..."

"Well, I was doing that, but then I saw all these pregnant women marching up the side of your house." She tilted her head. "Hard to stay still after that. I also finished my sweater, and was getting bored." She held up an abysmal bit of knitting wear, but it did look warm.

"Fine..." He rubbed his head, trying his best to process what just happened and leave before Lily changed her mind. “Are you really coming with me? It’s a long journey."

”Sure.” She shrugged. “I like doing new things. So it’s either this, or maybe learn the xylophone and I’ve already bought the tickets…”

He nodded. “I know we don’t have much choice, but let’s try to make this as quick as possible. I don’t want to leave Lily alone for too long.” He looked back at the house. “She might be surrounded by people who worship her, but I could hear her thoughts for a second.” He sighed. “It’s lonely at the top.”

“One second!” They turned to the house, seeing Cameron’s mother waddle out and down the stairs with a briefcase. She smiled as she handed it over to her son and kissed him on the cheek. “Lily wanted me to give this to you. A little good luck for the trip.”

”Uh, thanks mom.” He rubbed the back of his head, all of this still so surreal. “I-I guess I’ll see you when I get back?”

”Come back soon!” She gave a wave. “Take care of yourself, and I’ll be taking good care of Lily while you’re gone.”

"Oh Tetyana!" Nelda bundled up the sweater in her hands and handed it over to his mom. "This is for your chіld."

She held it up and raised an eyebrow. "A cock-warmer for Lily?"

"If you want." Nelda shrugged. "I was thinking more a sweater for a new baby, but...."

She flipped it over and faked a smile. "O-Of course! How sweet!" She gave a little bow. "Thank you. I'm sure you and Cameron will make lovely human servants for Lily after her complete ascension."

"Thanks?" Nelda gave a little bow back before turning to Cameron. "What's in the briefcase?"

“Just a second.” He turned around and put the briefcase on top of the car, opening it to see what was inside.
