Bully tg Chapter 9 (story)

Simon adjusted his glasses as he peered out the window.  Even though he had just got his glasses a few days ago, they didn't fit very well.  He saw David return to his apartment with two girls.  Ever since David had moved in a week previous, every time Simon saw him, he was with a new girl.  Simon couldn't help but worry about David.  He sort of had a motherly feeling for him.

Motherly? Simon shook his head.  Why did he think that? His mind was getting fuzzier and fuzzier.  He would often say or think strange things.  Not only his mind was weird, but his body was acting up as well.  Not necessarily in a bad way.

He was in his late fifties.  He was already greying and going bald. He had bad posture by hunching over his computer so much.  His skin was somewhat pasty, and he was too thin.  He often had a difficultly getting out of bed because he lacked energy.

Now, his hair was growing back, much thicker than it was before. He even had to cut it twice over the week, but it grew back by the next day.  His skin color was much healthier and gained more color. He also had more energy; he was more productive than he was before and his apathy was minuscule when compared to the past.  Many people he met remarked how much better he looked.  The only negative aspect was that his vision went bad, and he needed glasses.

The doorbell rang.  Simon stood up excitedly; he had never been a very social person, but now he enjoyed talking with others, even if they were just talking about their rent.  However, as Simon opened the door, all excitement escaped him. A woman in her fifties stood casually in the doorway.  Janice, his wife.

"Hello, Simon.  My, my, aren't you looking good.  I barely recognized you."  Her voice had a slight mocking tone to it.  They had been separated for a few years and the only time they saw each other was to exchange guardianship of Riley.  Simon had completely forgotten she was coming.

"Janice, had a nice trip?"

"Quite.  Is Riley ready to go?"

"Um, he is actually a friend's house."

"Oh, he actually has friends here. That's a surprise. I thought you just allowed him to play video games all day."

"See! This is why Riley doesn't like being around you. Degrading woman."

Janice eyes widened a bit.  "A new spine to go along with your appearance.  Well, Simon, I don't have time for this. Go get me my son."

"No."

Her eyes flared with anger. "I have just as much right as you."

"That's not the issue.  He's at a friend's house; let him enjoy the time."

Janice tried to stare Simon down, but he held his ground.  The new found confidence was thrilling.  Finally, Janice sighed.  "Fine.  I'll let you have this one. But, I'll be back here in two weeks. No arguments then."

Simon gave a sharp nod. "Fine."

As Janice walked out the door, she looked back at Simon. Was there a bit of warmth in her eyes? The moment passed and she was gone; must have been his imagination.

Simon had to sit down to calm his emotions. For years, they had passively grown apart. They didn't really argue. Janice would complain, and Simon would ignore her. However, the brief moment of tension they just had held more passion than most of the years they were together. It was kind of sad now that he thought about it.

Janice aside, Simon was getting a little worried about Riley.  It had been a few days since he had started hanging out with David.  Simon did get texts every once in a while, but never actually saw or talked with him. Simon had always been a hands-off parent, but now it felt like he needed to do more.

Over the next few days, Simon kept a watchful eye over David's apartment.  A lot of girls walked in and out; it was hard to keep track who was who.  However, he never saw Riley or David walk out. He was worried they cooped themselves up in the apartment.

Every morning, Simon checked himself over the mirror.  His hair was growing longer and longer; he grew tired of cutting it every other day.  He pulled his hair back into a ponytail that reached his shoulders as it kept on getting his face.

His face had been changing every time. The first noticeable difference was that he looked younger.  He looked like he was in his late twenties.  However, he didn't look like he did when he was younger, even though his identifying features remained intact, like his eyes. The shape of his face was different, smoother and oval shape.  Any flaws, including scars and moles, disappeared. The position of his eyes shifted, his mouth shrank, and his mouth became thinner. He was more attractive than he was before; however, he was more pretty than handsome. It was rather disconcerting.

His body was also shifting.  He was noticeably shorter by at least a few inches.  It took a while to notice because his clothes still fit properly. One day, he tried to grab a plate from a high shelf, but it was out of reach.  Ever since then, he had measured his height whenever he could. Other noticeable changes were that his shoulders were narrower and his hips were slightly wider.

Alarmingly, his private parts began to shrink. He was never well endowed, but now it was getting difficult to hold to go to the bathroom.  He had to start sitting down, because it became easier.  His chest began to itch a little as well, but that was the least of his worries.

During this time, Simon spent most of his time inside.  He was a little embarrassed by the way he looked.  Occasionally, tenets would come by with a problem with their apartment; they would stare at Simon with confused eyes, as if they were testing if their memory was right. Simon began to play as a nephew who was watching the apartments while Simon was on a trip. It just made it easier to not deal with the stares and awkward questions.

After five days since Janice came, there was another knock at the door.  Simon answered and a tall man in formal clothes stood in the doorway. "Hello. Can I help you?"

"Sir... miss..." the man started; he seemed a little confused about how to address him. "I am Detective Jaques. Are you the owner of these apartments?" He showed his badge to prove his profession.

"Yes, I am."

"Are you familiar with Alec Hutchins?"

"Yes, he is a friend of my son and his family members are tenets here. Is something the matter with him?"

"I just need to ask him some questions. I visited his family, but they haven't seen him for a few days; they said it was a regular occurrence."

"I can ask around if you want."

"Please do." The detective took out a card. "Call our office if you find him. Thank you for your help."  Simon nodded as he took the card and closed the door as the man left.

Simon thought about how the last time he saw Alec was with Riley and David.  He decided to visit David's apartment to ask them if they've seen Alec; it was also a good excuse to check on Riley, since he hadn't seen him for a while.

--------------

Richard Jacques walked away from the landlord's apartment.  He shook his head; he always had a hard time with people who he didn't know their gender.

He thought about the mysterious disappearances that happened ten days ago.  There had been five people who had gone missing.  First of all, three people from the rest home disappeared after a group of teenagers volunteered to visit. The secretary on duty during the disappearance specifically mentioned a red haired guy.  In addition to the three people gone missing, their bank accounts also received large withdrawals.  Richard looked up the recordings and saw young women with a red-haired guy withdrawing the money.

Next, on the same day, two teenagers went missing from a water park; their car never left the parking lot. After talking to a few people, Richard had managed to find out that there had been some sort of magic show with the missing guys and some girls.  He received the video recording of the water park’s entrance and parking lot. After painstakingly watching the dull recording, he learned that the two missing guys never left the water park, and that two girls never entered the park.

The two girls entered a car owned by Alec Hutchins, a red haired teenager.  Richard went back to the rest home and showed the secretary Alec's picture. She confirmed that he was the same person, which is how he ended up at these apartments asking after Alec.  There was no clear evidence that Alec was the culprit, but it was the best lead he had.

-----------

David heard the doorbell ring.  As Rachel answered the door, David heard a voice, "Hello, miss. Is David or Riley here?"  The voice was unfamiliar and familiar at the same time.

"D-David! My . . . Er . . . The landlord's here." Rachel sounded a little flustered, probably because this was her first time meeting her father as a girl.

Suddenly, David felt very grimy; it had been a few days since he got in the shower.  He hadn't really been meeting with too many people, only the girls that had transformed.  He found his brother's hat, which he used to cover his greasy unwashed hair.

Walking out of his room, David saw Simon for the first time in a few days.  He looked obviously younger; his long hair pulled back in a ponytail gave him a distinct look.  He also looked like he had more energy, much livelier than he was before.  His hips were slightly wider, and there was a hint of breasts on his chest.  The shape of his face made him appear more innocent.  Rachel quietly walked to the back of the apartment, out of view.

As Simon saw David, a look of concern passed his face.  The bloodshot eyes and pale skin of spending too much time inside on a computer were starting to show on David’s features. Gratefully, Simon didn't say anything.

"Simon, it's good to see you. What can I do for you?"

Simon wrung his hands nervously.  He seemed happy and scared at the same time. He also seemed confused that he was nervous.  "D-David, it's good to see you too.  I . . . Um, I'm just wondering where my son is." His voice lost the gruff voice it had before, not quite feminine, though not masculine either.

"Well, um, you see, we're in the middle of an online game," David lied carefully. "Also, he doesn't really want you to see him at the moment."

"Has he given any reason why? Did I do something wrong?"

"No, I don't think so . . ." David said slowly.  "He doesn't talk about it much, and I don't press it."

"I see.  Um, also, have you seen Alec? A detective came by that wanted to ask him a few questions."

David began to feel a little sick to his stomach.  Did he make a mistake somewhere? "Ah, no, I haven't seen him for a few days. Is something wrong?"

"Not that I know. He didn't tell me anything.  Anyway, tell Riley I stopped by. Also, tell him his mother is coming to pick him up in about a week.  He’ll need to come home before then.  Take care.”  With that, Simon left the apartment.

David watched Simon leave through the window.  He had a sway to his hips that made him appear more feminine.  The transformation was progressing slowly but surely.  

"Rachel, he's gone," David called to the back.  Rachel emerged.  "Did you hear that conversation?"

She nodded. "Yeah, what do you think we should do? My mom's not the most . . . kind woman in the world."

"I see.  Well, your dad will hopefully be fully transformed by the time she comes. Maybe he'll have an idea of what to do. We can also ask the others as well."

Rachel seemed skeptical, but she nodded her head.  She walked over to her favorite couch, laid down, and took out a book; she did that a lot.

About an hour later, all of the girls that had transformed gathered into the David's apartment.  David himself spent the entire day in the apartment.  All day, every day, he researched the translated letter from the cave, surfed the internet, and played video game.  He was terrified to go back outside in case he touched someone else.  He became obsessive about asking the girls about their previous life, how they felt right then, and what they were up to.

Rachel, who was still sitting on the couch, stayed at the apartment with David all day; she stayed quiet and wasn't much for conversation, but her company was nice. Allie and Ellie found a part time job at a nearby diner. Allie was very protective of Ellie, but she also encouraged her to be outgoing too. They were chatting on the couch next to Rachel about their day at work; apparently, they were quite popular with the customers.

Alex, who was starring emotionlessly at David, also had stayed in the apartment all day in the beginning, but her presence was very awkward.  Almost every night, she wound up wrapped around him.  No matter what she did, her clothes seemed to either come off or get ripped in revealing places. David had convinced Ellie to take Alex with her to work; Alex got a simple job because they told the manager she was very shy and couldn't handle social interactions.  He also convinced the girls in the other apartment to have her sleep over there.

Leah, who was cooking in the kitchen with Sam, started to volunteer at a daycare; her energetic personality fit the occupation.  Sam still worked as a programmer, and she still loved to cook; David hoped that Leah's help would make the cooking better. Finally, Cassidy was watching TV, trying to ignore everyone else.  She went out every day, but David wasn't quite sure what she did; when he asked her, she didn't give a straight answer; she only smiled and changed the subject.  Sophia had left a few days previously; she said she wanted to check up on her family and live her own life; she promised not to tell anyone about David.  Touching a woman definitely had a different effect on the personality than touching a man.

David stood up and said, "Everyone, can I have your attention." The room grew quiet; there were some benefits of having people always willing to listen. "As you know, the landlord, Rachel's dad, is transforming. However, I think we might need to find another place.  First of all, Rachel’s mom is coming to pick Riley up.  She might cause a big fuss if she doesn’t get her son.  Also, a detective came by asking about Alec.  That might have something to do with the rest home and water park where you girls came from.”

“Can’t you just touch them and get it over with?” Cassidy asked.

“If we do that, it would cause more problems,” Rachel responded.  The two glared at each other; just because all of the girls loved David didn’t mean they liked each other.

“Rachel’s right,” David continued; Rachel shot Cassidy a satisfied look.  “If a detective goes missing, they would investigate even more.  But I don’t just want to do nothing.  We need to find another place where we can essentially disappear.  Any thoughts?”

The girls looked at each other in silence.  Finally, Cassidy spoke up.  “I think I might have an idea, but it’ll take a few days.”

“Great, thanks a bunch, Cassidy.” David responded; Cassidy smiled warmly at David. “We’ll try to think of new ideas in case it doesn’t work out.  Let me know if anybody thinks of anything.  Meeting adjourned.”

------------------

A few days after Simon visited David’s apartment, he received a text from Riley asking him to come back over.  Riley was ready to meet with him again.  Simon couldn’t help, but smile.  He would get to see David again.  Wait, no.  He’d get to see Riley again.  Simon’s brain was increasingly getting fuzzier.

Simon looked at himself in the mirror.  It was hard to consider his reflection a male.  He had once again gotten younger; now he appeared to be in his late teens.  His hair had grown all the way down his back to his butt; he stopped putting it in a ponytail and spent a great deal of time brushing it out.  It just felt right.  His butt was rounder and his waist thinner.  His chest had two distinct mounds. Breasts.  Simon remembered waking up the day after he visited David to the new body parts.  It scared him for a while and wouldn’t meet with anyone after that.  He tried to tape them down, but that just caused more pain.  His manhood had also completely disappeared.  There was no question that he was turning into a girl.

The person reflection was also wearing a skirt and a blue sweater.  No matter what Simon would wear, over the course of the day, his clothes would shift to female attire.  Simon straightened his clothes to make them look nice.  

The young woman stared back at Simon in the mirror.  She was cute and bright; the glasses made her look more studious than he felt.  Simon didn’t want to go to the doctors.  They would either think he was crazy, or they would run experiments on him.  He didn’t want that.  He was determined to tell Riley and David what had happened.  He couldn’t keep it inside any longer.

Simon nodded at the reflection; time to do this.

A few moments later, Simon nervously rang David’s doorbell.  David answered.  “Welcome, Simon.  Come on in.”  The moment Simon saw David, his chest tightened; he couldn’t help but notice how handsome he looked.  He also looked much better than he did a few days previous.  Simon recognized that he was physically attracted to him.  Every little movement, every little glance made his heart beat faster.  It was a very odd experience to be attracted to a guy.

“How . . . how did you recognize me?”  Simon was surprised by his own voice, since he hadn’t talked with anyone for a while.  The voice was peppy and delicate.

David just smile.  “Come on inside.”

Simon sat on the couch inside the apartment and waited expectantly for David to talk.

David sighed for a moment, and then looked at Simon with his beautiful eyes.  Yep, Simon was definitely in love.  “I have to tell you something that might be a little hard to hear.  I’m sure you’ve noticed, but you’re turning into a girl.” Simon nodded; obviously.  “Well, I’m the cause of that.  A few weeks ago, I went on a hiking trip with my brother.  I found a crystal that blew up in my face.  Now, whenever I touch a person, he or she becomes a girl about my own age.  I touched you around the first time I arrived, so you’ve been transforming ever since then.”

Simon nodded slowly as the information started to seep in.  Sure enough, around the time David arrived was the time when Simon began to change.

David continued.  “Also, you aren’t the only person I’ve touched.  You might have noticed girls walking in and out of this apartment.  Well, most of them were guys before.  There’s someone I’d like you to meet.”  In a loud voice, he called, “Rachel, come on out.”  The blond girl with a braided coming across her shoulder walked out.  “Simon, I’d like you to meet Rachel, formerly Riley.”

Rachel smiled timidly.  “Hi, dad.  Long time no see.”

Simon stared at her for a long moment.  He stood up and touched her face.  “Riley?  Is that really you?”  The girl nodded, not looking at him in the eyes.  It was hard to believe; his son had now become his beautiful daughter.  However, thinking about how he looked, it made it easier to believe.  Simon hugged his daughter, and said quietly, “You look great.  I’ll love you no matter what you look like.”

They hugged each other for a long moment.  As they hugged, something inside Simon snapped.  She accepted everything.  Her body, her feelings, her new daughter, her life.  Everything felt right.  Tears began to stream down her face.

“Dad? You feeling alright?” Rachel asked as they withdrew from the hug.

“I’m feeling better than alright. I feel great.  You don’t have to call me dad now.  Just call me Susan.”

“Well, Susan,” David said, “Welcome to the team.”

Susan couldn’t help but smile at David.  She ran towards David, wrapped her arms around his shoulders, and gave him a big kiss.  With her face bright red, she looked at him straight in the eyes, and said, “David, I love you.”  Her embarrassment wouldn’t allow her to stay for very long, and she retreated to one of the back rooms.

-------------

Rachel stood next to David as she watched her father run away like a giddy school girl.  “No matter how you look at it, this is pretty weird.”

David nodded in agreement.  “You can say that again.  Well, anyway, is everybody ready to go?”

“Yep, my dad is the only one left.  I’ll go tell her the plan.  She might have a hard time if you tell her.”
