The huntress hunted

I kept looking at Aurora's sleeping figure for a moment, wondering what to do... She was so beautiful... I did have a crush on her from the two times we met before, and even her trying to kill me wasn't enough for me to let go of the appreciation I had for her. My skinwalker side was pestering me to just skin her and assume her life, encouraging me to become that stunning and strong goth girl I had a crush on...

I took a deep breath and crouched again, stabbing Aurora one more time with the spines, this time with the intent of absorbing her soul. It was too dangerous to let her go like this, without altering her memories...

Claire watched with a mix of revulsion and shock as Aurora's skin deflated and her soul flowed inside me. She wanted to see how it looked like tomorrow, but she witnessed it earlier than we had planned.

"It's... It's really disturbing... You were right..."

"I told you..."

After all this time without one, having another person's soul to warm me up felt so nice, even if I was still freezing cold.

"Let's go home. We'll think of what to do there." I said as I stuffed some of Aurora's clothes and her skin inside my bag.

Just briefly holding her skin like this was enough for my skinwalker side to get excited.

Stop... Not... Not now...

Claire nodded, but she was still shocked by everything that happened this evening.

The boots would obviously not fit inside the bag, so I carried them with my hands. It was a good thing our flat was just a few blocks away, it only took a few minutes to get there.

After closing the door behind us, I dropped the bag next to the couch and took out Aurora's skin. Even deflated, I had to admit that she was stunning. The impulse to wear her was becoming stronger with each passing second, I could barely keep myself in check...

"Ed... Are you... going to wear her?" Claire timidly asked.

"I... I won't..." I hesitantly replied.

"You... really look like you want to..." She commented.

I couldn't deny it... I only wanted to alter her memories, but, as I expected, now that I had her skin in my hands, the temptation was far too hard to resist... Every fiber of my being wanted me to wear her... To become her...

"W-wouldn't it be better if you... wore her? Instead of the man you mentioned...?" Claire said, which surprised me.

"H-huh? But... She's a woman... I-I can't... I can't wear her..."

Claire came closer and hugged me tightly. She was still shivering from the encounter.

"Ed... I... I don't mind if you like being a woman... All I want... is for you to be safe and happy... I'll always love you... no matter if you're a man or a woman..."

Hearing her words, so full of care and love, I crumbled... I started to cry...

"But I... I don't... I don't want to feel this way... It... seems wrong..."

Claire gave me a warm and reassuring smile. "Dahlia told you, there's nothing wrong with feeling like this... I can't... exactly relate to what you're going through, but... you know how hard it was for me to accept being a lesbian, right? Isn't it... somewhat similar?"

I looked down and took a deep breath. "I don't know... But okay... I'll... I'll wear her... I'll... go to my room..."

Claire nodded and let go of the hug. I took Aurora's skin and her clothes and went to my bedroom, locking the door behind me. I really didn't want Claire to see the process...

I took one last glance at the skin in my hands. I was both dreading wearing her and waiting for it excitedly... I stripped and tore her back like I did a few times with the previous skins I wore, gulping before finally inserting my legs inside hers. It didn't take long for my legs to melt and for me to be able to feel the carpet from underneath my new smaller feet, with their black-polished toenails.

It's so weird...

I took another deep breath, bracing myself for what was about to come... It's been a while since I last wore Laura, but the sensations were still vividly inscribed in my mind... I pulled her up and slid my arms into hers, and, as I expected, the overwhelming pressure flared within me as my genitals vanished inside Aurora's, replaced by her womb and vagina. I had to cover my mouth to stop myself from moaning, the feeling so much more intense than I remembered...

God... I can't... take it anymore...

As I got taken over by my desires, I hurriedly pulled Aurora's face over mine, the skin tightening around me, my vision whitening and my mind going blank.

Aurora's memories flowed inside my head. I was born twenty-six years ago in Norway. Both my parents were professional monster hunters who used to work together and fell in love. From a young age, I noticed that I had a gift that my parents and the vast majority of other humans had not: I was able to sense people's auras. After learning about it, my parents trained me to make sure I was able to protect myself and become a strong hunter. My father died during a mission when I was eleven, making me hate monsters with a burning passion, and my training intensified with my mother. We also moved to the USA to live with my grandparents. My first kill was a succubus who fed on naive men in a small town not far from where I lived, when I was seventeen. Once I became nineteen, I left home and joined a group of hunters, wandering around the country and tracking down monsters for three years, but I decided later on that I mostly prefered to work alone, even if I still was on good terms with my former teammates.

I slowly opened my eyes and took a deep breath, filling my new lungs with air. The oppressive cold was gone. I felt incredibly good, as if I suddenly woke up from a horrific nightmare, as if I was finally where I belonged... Everything felt perfect...

I glanced down, seeing the curvy, muscular, and pale body that I now had. I had so much energy, even more than in my original body. I felt so much more nimble and fast...

I went to the small mirror hanging on my wardrobe door and observed myself. The makeup was a bit smudged after the fight and after having been carried in my bag as a skin, but Aurora still looked beautiful... I looked beautiful...

For a moment, I stood there, completely at peace... But I then heard a knock on the door, breaking me out of my reverie.

"Ed... You're okay?" I heard Claire ask.

"I-I am!" I spoke, Aurora's sexy voice coming out of my mouth.

I held my throat, stunned. I knew it was how it worked, but it still surprised me nonetheless.

"O-okay... You... wore her?"

"Y-yeah... Give... Give me a minute... to get dressed..."

I quickly picked Aurora's underwear, some black boxers that were more practical than sexy, and a matching sport bra. After that were her leather pants. I didn't expect to ever be wearing something like this, but it made me feel so hot... Then was her shirt, with the logo of a black metal band she quite liked. She was into even more **** stuff than I was. Finally, I put on her socks and these thick platform boots I used to find hot when I first saw Aurora at the bar that fateful night.

I tried to relax and stood up, still a bit worried about Claire's reaction, even if she was the one who encouraged me to wear Aurora in the first place.

I unlocked the door and stepped into the living room, Claire gasping as she saw me.

"I'm... I'm done..." I just said, looking at my feet.

Claire kept staring at me for a while, not saying anything.

"A-are you okay...?" I asked, worried.

She blinked a few times before answering. "It's... unbelievable... You really... became her..."

"Yes..."

As I got closer, I felt something strange. I looked at Claire, and it was like there was some sort of warmth coming from her.

Is... Is it the thing I saw from her memories?

I realised that it was thanks to this strange ability that she was able to discern my true nature during our second encounter. My own aura was apparently very strange and almost non-existent, which she immediately found suspicious. But since she had to deal with another monster first, she saved me for later.

No matter if I erase her recent memories, she'll keep tracking me down...

"E-Ed? You're... spacing out..."

I shook my head and regained my composure. Or tried to, at least. The long jet black hair I now had that moved around my shoulders reminding me of my current situation all too well.

"S-sorry... That's just... a lot to take in..."

"How... How do you feel?" Claire asked.

I sat next to her and closed my eyes. "I feel... fine..."

I still felt so ashamed of these feelings... But Claire held my hand and smiled at me.

"It's... weird to see you like this... especially since that girl attacked us earlier, but... I told you, I'll always love you..."

I pulled her into a hug. "Thank you... For saving me back there... And for supporting me, despite what I became..."

"You're my only family, Ed... I'll always be there for you..."

We kept hugging for some time, but I then stood up, grabbing Aurora's leather coat that I left in the bag.

"I'll go see Dahlia to tell her what happened, can you text her to warn her that I'm on my way? I'll also stay the night at the place Aurora rents. I need to learn more about her."

"Will you be fine?" She asked.

I smiled. "I think I'll be more than fine. I already wasn't a bad fighter, but now, I feel like I could take on almost anything. We'll talk more tomorrow, don't worry. Just rest, I know the kick she gave you was pretty violent. It probably still hurts, right?"

Claire caressed her stomach and grimaced. "Yeah... I didn't expect her to be so strong..."

I patted her head like I often did in the past. "I'll ask Dahlia to bring you some of her balm tomorrow, stay here and take it easy."

After that, I left the flat and went to Dahlia's place. It was getting late, so I didn't plan to stay too long. While I was walking, the reality of what happened truly started to sink in. I felt my ass swaying with every step I took, my hair brushing my neck... I was too well aware of the hot clothes I was wearing. The few people I crossed path with all glanced at me, sometimes with lust, sometimes with curiosity, but I was an eye-catcher... I was really wearing Aurora... And I was loving it...

I swore to never wear a woman again... But I failed...

I reached Dahlia's flat and unlocked the door with my keys.

"Ed? Claire texted me, what hap-" Dahlia started to speak but stopped when she saw me. "No way... You... You finally did it?"

"Did what?" I asked as I locked the door behind me.

"Accepted your desires... I mean, look at you... You're absolutely gorgeous..." She replied, a hint of pride and appreciation in her voice.

I blushed. "It's... complicated."

Why does it feel so nice to be called gorgeous?

I approached Dahlia. I expected to have a similar feeling to what Aurora experienced with me, but I didn't feel anything strange with her... Her aura seemed... normal... warm like Claire's.

Weird... How does it work exactly?

I didn't have the time to linger on that for now, though.

"So... The girl I'm wearing... She attacked me and Claire earlier..." I started.

"She attacked you?"

"She's a hunter. She tracked me down these last few days and striked tonight. Unfortunately for her, Claire and I managed to defeat her."

"A hunter...? You... fought and defeated a hunter?" Dahlia asked, visibly in shock by the reveal.

"It wasn't easy, she would have killed me without Claire's intervention."

Dahlia quickly hugged me. "Oh my god... I'm so glad you're both okay... Hunters are terrifying..."

"I know. She killed quite a few creatures, she's far stronger than she may look."

After calming down, Dahlia smiled at me, pushing my hair away from my face. "And now... Her beauty and strength are yours."

"I... I don't know if I'll keep her skin..." I timidly replied.

"Ed... Do you think she'd stop hunting you if you were to restore her...?"

I sighed, already knowing the answer to this question. "No..."

"Then stay safe and keep her skin. Embrace this girl's identity and use her abilities to achieve your goals more easily. Please trust me, Ed, I can assure you that everything will get better for you if you stay as her."

I looked away. I didn't plan to steal Aurora's life... I just wanted to alter her memories at first... But everything felt so wonderful ever since I wore her...

"I'll... think about it... I'll stay as her for a few days, at least. To learn more about her."

Dahlia held my hand. "You'll see. I'm certain that you're going to love being her. Being a woman is amazing, Ed. And you're now a smoking hot and dangerous one."

I blushed again at her compliment. "I'll see... I should probably go now, but we'll talk more tomorrow."

"Alright." She gave me another, quicker hug. "I'm so glad that nothing bad happened, Ed... I don't want anything to happen to you or Claire..."

"Speaking of Claire, she'll probably need some of your balm. Aurora gave her a pretty powerful kick, I'm sure it left a bad bruise."

Dahlia smiled. "Aurora, hmm? That's a cute name. And I'll bring Claire a tube tomorrow morning. I can't let my future girlfriend all bruised up."

"Thank you. Have a good evening, Dahlia."

"You too, Aurora. And have fun~"

As I left the building and went on my way to Aurora's temporary place, I had one thought.

Being called Aurora felt nice...
