[ImmortalSoul]

Sorry to hear about your cat.   I look forward to when I can see some new material from you.  Even if I have to wait awhile I can still reread your old stuff in the meantime.  Keep it up and I hope work and life don't get too out of hand.

Chapter 18: Mostly Reunited

 

The soft plush under her head, the thick softness between her legs and the fuzzy plushness wrapped in her arms. Holy shit was she comfy. Wrapped in warmth and clouds all around her Kylie moaned as she began to stir from her slumber. She chewed at the rubber teat in her mouth and began to crack open her eyes to the world. The room was still dark save for gentle lighting all around. Soft white walls with various depictions of rainbows, clouds, unicorns, castles, animals and other various characters around her.

 

More closely around her were the wooden bars of the crib. Kylie shifted her gaze toward the ceiling, noticing the mobile gently circling above her. As Kylie shifted about she could feel the cold damp of her diaper and the extra squish on her bottom. She groaned and turned her attention to what was with her in her arms.

 

"Checkers?" Kylie asked as she held the stuffed squirrel in her arms.

 

"Morning baby!" A voice spoke. Kylie looked up and saw the plump face of a woman, black hair around her head. "Happy that you have Checkers? Mommy sent him for you, she knew you would miss him" she said softly as Kylie roused more from sleep. Aunty Deirdra, as Amy had called her, picked Kylie up from the crib and brought her to the changing table to get her into a fresh diaper. Kylie waited as she was changed, still suckling at the pacifier in her mouth. "Today, after breakfast, a bit of playtime with your sister, followed by a nap, lunch, then we are going to find your brothers and make sure they are in their diapers before handing you four to Mommy!" Dierdra said, speaking down at Kylie as if she was a baby. Kylie gritted her teeth as best she could while the pacifier was in the way. She wanted the damn thing out of her mouth. She wished she could spit the thing out at Deirdra's stupid round face.

 

There came a familiar feeling. She felt woozy as if she stood up too quickly or drank too much.

 

"Focus Kylie, Focus" Kylie told herself. She couldn't be getting sick or faint at this point. More time being babied was wasted. She tried to ignore the feeling and only focus on spitting the damn pacifier out. Slowly the feeling began to ebb away until it was only afflicting her mouth. "Ptoo!" Out spat the pacifier and bounced off Deirdra's head. The woman was perplexed as to how that happened. She stood there in disbelief that the baby was without her pacifier. Kylie on the other hand was overjoyed and laughed at the moment.

 

"Oh you find that funny?" Deirdra said, picking up the pacifier and placing it back in Kylie's mouth with a small couple of taps leather straps wrapped around Kylie's head securing the pacifier even more. Kylie still tried to spit the pacifier out but regardless of straps she only managed the opposite. "Isn't that funny?" She asked. Kylie glared at her. "Absolutely hilarious, dying of laughter already. Ha ha ha" she said. "I will need to inform Mother of this, but first things first." Deirdra took Kylie from the room. The two settled into a rocking chair and Kylie was gently rocked as the woman undid her blouse. Kylie began to struggle as a piece of her pacifier was unclipped. "I know baby I much prefer to do this without the pacifier too" she said, undoing a clip on her bra and bringing Kylie toward her exposed nipple. It didn't take much coaxing for the milk to flow and once it did Kylie began to nurse.

 

She couldn't restrain herself as much as she willed it. The milk tasted like a bowl of oatmeal heavily sweetened with brown sugar, one of her favorite breakfasts. Kylie cursed her sweet tooth and her hungry belly.

 

"Now the other one," Deirdra said, switching Kylie to her other nipple. However, she removed the pacifier knowing now Kylie would cooperate. Kylie greedily suckled on the nipple as if it was going to be the last meal she would ever have. "good baby".

 

After her breakfast Kylie was placed in a playpen and Amy followed after her feeding. The girls didn't want to do much, their bellies full of milk that jostled heavily in them. Kylie clung to Checkers like a life preserver hoping her stomach would settle down.

 

"I forgot how much Deirdra had in her, oof. Now I know how all those other kids felt with her" Amy burped and held her mouth as if she was ready to vomit. Kylie mimicked her if she regurgitated her breakfast Kylie would follow with her.

 

"I would say serves you right…but flub I am too full" Kylie said. Their stomachs eventually settled and they somewhat played with the dolls in the playpen. Kylie kept Checkers close, a constant comfort in this world. When it was time for their nap the girls struggled at first but up against the plump woman they were no match, their diapers were changed without much fuss and once they were slipped into their onesies there was little fight left so the girls went to sleep.

 

 Lunch came around and much like before the girls drank too much, they were burped and a bit of spit up cleaned up before settling into a carriage and wheeled down the road.

 

Deirdra held up a phone and punched in several numbers. "Hello my honies! I need you to assemble near the bushes. We are going to have a few naughty kids try and kidnap a couple little babies so be ready" Deirdra said.

 

—

 

"It's flapping suicide" Peter said looking across the field. The boys had gathered a bundle of sticks each made sure each was cool in its own way and tested them to be sure they worked.

 

"We can take them, we got Bertha here" Matt said, slapping the branch he held onto. It was the biggest one they found and it showed the most devastating attack among the other sticks.

 

"Bertha is strong and if it was against ten or so babysitters I would be with you in confidence but we have her to deal with" Peter pointed at the plump woman who stood next to a carriage around her were several Sitters. "That is Aunt Deirdra one of Mother's favorites if we want to take her out we will need to distract her, and hit her with everything we got"

 

"Kylie and Lilly are there though, so how are we going to separate them?" Josh asked.

 

"If you want my honest opinion… we should run deeper into the forest and forget the girls, they are lost" Peter said.

 

"Don't you frickin say that!" Matt said. 

 

"Look at that!" Peter pointed toward the carriage Deirdra rapped her fingers on. "Who knows how long Deirdra has had her hands on them, but chances are she has them so little it will only endanger us" Matt glared at Peter, Josh meanwhile wanting to save his girlfriend, knew that Peter was right.

 

"Why don't they come over here?" Josh asked.

 

On the other side of the field Deirdra bid her time. She knew the boys were somewhere in the bushes, but why debate and not save their loved ones.

 

"It seems they don't believe you are worth saving baby" Deirdra cooed at Kylie. "Do you wanna talk to him?" Deirdra gently picked Kylie up and cradled her in her arms. She undid the pacifier making sure Kylie wasn't going to spit at her and held her up. "Can you say hi baby? Say Hi!" She encouraged the 'baby' in her arms.

 

"MATT RUN, I'LL BE FINE!" Kylie yelled. She thrashed in Deirdra's arms trying to break free…and then there was chaos.

 

Throwing caution to the wind Josh grabbed one of the sticks best suited for a gun. He rushed from the bushes and began to make machine gun noises. Bullets flew from the stick and began to pelt the sitters and Deirdra. The plump woman struggling with Kylie was hit and despite her best efforts to protect the baby she dropped her as bullets tore into her skin.

 

Kylie tumbled in the grass for a bit but recovered quickly and began to crawl for all it was worth. She cursed the sleeper she was in. It was worse than when she was dreaming as all this was real. She only imagined trying to run and gave it her all to crawl.

 

"Kylie run to me!" Josh called.

 

"You silly heads get the baby and that brat!" Deirdra called.

 

"I need backup!" Josh called.

 

"Dumbass!" Peter cursed and came out of the bushes and began to lay down suppressive fire of his own.

 

"I can't run!" Kylie cried out as she crawled as fast as she could.

 

"Hey, what about me!" Ally cried struggling to get out of the carriage. A stray bullet hit the brake lock and the carriage began to slowly roll down the field. 

 

"Eat this!" Called Matt yelled at he readied himself with Bertha and fired the RPG. The rocket powered grenade came into contact with Deirdra causing a large explosion sending the carriage rolling faster through the field. Kylie looked back in time to see the carriage flying toward her. She reached out and grabbed at the cloth hanging off it. She was flung with the carriage and flew across the field which came crashing down near the border of the forest. The two girls were flung about across the grass.

 

"Matt go grab them, we'll back you up." Josh called. Matt confirmed and quickly ran to help the two girls up. 

 

"Where's Lilly?" Matt asked. He took out his word and slashed at the fabric covering Ally's legs.

 

"Not now, help me out of this!" Kylie cried.

 

"You're in a footed, just run for now!" Matt said helping her to her feet. Kylie looked at her legs and discovered he was right. She didn't give it much thought as Peter and Josh were yelling to get them moving.

 

The five of them ran into the forest Josh and Peter handed each girl a stick.

 

"Pretend it is a gun and make gun shooting noises" they told them.

 

The girls

did so though not as enthusiastic as the boys. Until eventually the chase had ended.

Chapter 19: The Basement

 

A small clearing opened up and the five kids stopped to take a break.

 

"Everyone ok?" Josh asked. He was immediately struck across the back of the head.

 

"That was the dumbest, most reckless thing ever!" Paul said.

 

"At least I did something!"

 

"Running away was something! You could have had us all captured and babied!"

 

"We have actual weapons now, not just squirt guns! They didn't anticipate that!" Peter gave an exasperated sigh.

 

"You're right…Our tactics are going to change now that we have something that can do damage." Paul relented. "So…these your girlfriends?" He asked.

 

"One of them is" Josh noted the odd but familiar girl while Matt and Kylie were holding each other close.

 

Amy glared at Josh and Matt, she then looked at the stick in her hands and aimed it up toward them.

 

"What are you doing?" Josh asked.

 

"I…ought to shoot you, but more than that HIM!" she yelled pointing the stick at Matt.

 

"Amy put the stick down," Kylie said, trying to protect Matt.

 

"Why?!" Matt asked.

 

"You ruined my life!" She screamed. "I had it good until you bashed my leg, I got demoted because of you, I was a big girl, now look at me!" She pulled up the tatters of her sleeper to show her diaper. Paul now aimed his own weapon up. 

 

"Oh snap…you are a sitter" he said, hate now in his eyes.

 

"Both of you stop!" Kylie got in the way of the two of them. "Look Amy is going to help us, she helped me get here to find you two? She is going to help us get free, right?" Kylie glared at Amy. She moved her gun away and spat at the ground.

 

"Can I at least slap him?" She nodded toward Matt.

 

"Remember our deal, take it up with me later" Kylie said Amy glared again but shrugged it away.

 

"Fine"

 

"And you, can you at least work with her until we get out of here?" Kylie asked Paul.

 

"I can, but I got my eye on her," he said.

 

"Where's Lilly?" Josh asked. Kylie lowered her face and sighed.

 

"She is with Alex…but she doesn't seem able to do this to her" Kylie gestured toward her outfit.

 

"Who's Alex?" Paul asked 

 

"Mother" Matt and Josh answered.

 

"Then she is just a baby then"

 

"No! She can resist her" Kylie said.

 

"Then she is just going to become a sitter or worse, and if Mother really wanted to it would just take a little breastfeeding to get her to be a baby" 

 

"She is fine! Let's just focus on getting out of here."

 

"Won't be easy…" Amy said. "In order to leave you need to open up a portal, which requires a ritual, but that is for basic travel in Hell, if you want to go to the Mortal Realm, only Mommy can do that, or she needs to allow someone to open one up."

 

"So it is impossible then" Paul spat.

 

"No…just nearly impossible, Kylie can open the portal"

 

"What?" All of them said in unison. "No I can't," Kylie added.

 

"Kylie the only difference between Hell and the dream realm is logic. The Mortal Realm is laced with logic, built upon it, with it and reinforced in logic. Hell is merely tethered to logic."

 

"What is that supposed to mean?"

 

"You were in a sleeper not that long ago now look at you" Kylie looked down at what she was wearing. It was a set of footed pajamas covered in pictures of candy and lollipops. "Unlike the dream realm you need to focus more to use the magic.

 

"Are you saying Kylie can use magic?" Matt asked "Like our weapons?" He asked, holding up a stick.

 

"Different kind of magic twerp…with the right ritual Kylie might be able to open up a portal to the mortal Realm there is just one thing we need, mommy's spell book"

 

"The one we used to get here?" Kylie asked.

 

"No, that is a different one, mommy's spell book will tell us everything we need to undo her work"

 

"What's the catch with all this?" Paul asked. Amy grinned.

 

"You mean besides the insane amount of trouble we will get in if we are caught? Or how not only will we need crazy ingredients but lots of magical power to make it all work?"

 

"Does Alex need ingredients to do that stuff?" Kylie asked. Amy shrugged.

 

"If you have enough magical power you can skip ingredients" she said.

 

"Then why not just have Alex 'make' us a portal and what not?" Amy glared at her. "Well can't you manipulate demons or whatever if you know their true name?" Kylie asked. Amy scoffed.

 

"I mean…yeah, but good luck learning mommy's actual name. If you haven't quite noticed she really only sticks to the one"

 

"We can find that out later, we better get moving" Peter pointed into the forest. Off in the distance were the sounds of rustling. "I don't want to find out what that is," he said.

 

The five of them headed further into the forest. Kylie and Matt kept close together, finally being reunited. The two talked about their time apart Kylie regretfully admitting how she forgot that Matt and Josh were with her and Lilly for a time. Matt telling of his time adjusting to being a kid and joining the Naughty Kids. Soon the group came upon a new open area. This one, dominated by a large decrepit house reinforced with makeshift playground equipment.

 

"Home base…" Peter said gravely, the place appeared as if it had never been touched by many hardworking kids.

 

"So this is where you Naughty Kids have been staying, if Mommy only let us go searching for you" Amy said. Paul turned and aimed his stick to the throat of Amy.

 

"You tell anyone about this I will make sure to blow your brains across all the kiddie pool!" He growled. Amy turned her hands up in mock surrender.

 

"Chill twerp I am on your side ok? If I get caught I am as good as breastfed so we are all in the same boat if we get caught" Amy said.

 

The group slowly began to enter. Peter, Matt and Josh readying their sticks for anything bad to pop out.

 

"Olly olly oxenfree!" Paul called. "We are Red!" He added yet he was only met with the overwhelming darkness of the house. "I guess we are clear"

 

"Ugh, stupid color game" Amy spat realizing now what the kids were doing when they went off to play that.

 

"So what do we do now?" Josh asked.

 

"Hopefully lay low for a bit, gather what supplies were left behind and leave a message for any soldiers who might happen to return, maybe find a message saying the same." Peter said. The group spread out searching the many rooms that used to be a safe haven for many kids.

 

"What happened here?" Amy asked.

 

"Code: Window is Open…the Boogeyman got us" Amy paused at hearing that.

 

"I'm…sorry…" she said with a genuine ounce of sympathy. 

 

As the group gathered things together, walkie talkies, tents, squirt guns, packaged snacks they bagged everything up and settled into the living room.

 

"What's in there?" Kylie asked, pointing to a boarded up door.

 

"The basement…we have tried to send people down but they get scared and nearly call for Mother, so we simply barricaded it to keep anyone from going down there."

 

"And what do you twerps bet is down there?" Amy asked. The group looked at her.

 

"Something terrifying enough that kids call for Mother" Paul said.

 

"Well it isn't much of a secret that this place is an abandoned section of The Daycare, theories based on if you want to believe all the made up stories from Mommy's actual children and the ones turned by breastfeeding say this was once the first Daycare then one day she obtains power that makes her a noble goes babycrazy and the new Daycare was made. This old one was left abandoned."

 

"That might be accurate based on what we have found in this place." Paul said "Old playsets, toys for various ages, Main bedroom, nursery, playroom"

 

"Alex likes to keep people away from the basement…" Kylie added.

 

The five all looked toward the basement door. One by one they stood up and began to tear apart the barricade until the door was free. Paul took point and opened the door. A wave of uneasiness washed over them, the kind one gets in liminal spaces. He began to walk down. Each step the uneasy feeling grew, the darkness hiding whatever monster was down there. Paul stopped only five steps left.

 

"Move twerp!" Amy called.

 

"I-I can't" Paul said he dared not take another step. This was the first time he ever tried to walk down the steps. He understood why kids wanted to call for mom…something was down there watching…waiting for him to take the forbidden step. "S-something is down there if I take one more step it will get me."

 

"You are being a baby right now, move!" Amy shoved passed Paul. He tried to stop her but she took that one more step then froze. "Holy ship you're right!" She gasped. "Except…it doesn't want me to take the next step" she said, staring off into the darkness and began to whimper, "I want my mommy" she whined. Paul tried to pull her back and did his best not to take another step.

 

Kylie tried to move through next. She made it to Paul's step when that uneasy feeling grew to being watched.

 

"Ok, so focus it's dark but just a basement and I want to see" she told herself. She looked over at Paul and plucked a long stick from his bundle. It was knotted near the tip, a good large knob for whacking someone with or just maybe something to help her focus on magic. She took the forbidden next step and was now on the same level as Amy. She could feel the eyes of a predator on her; she could almost hear it growling, daring her to try and call its bluff. She took another step and it gave a more threatening growl. God she wanted her mommy right now she even thought she would pee herself right now. Yet she held up the staff. "Y-yeah?" She called out to it. "Don't want me to enter?" She asked the creature. Her voice rose as she tried to turn fear into confidence "Well too bad!" She shouted. "I. SHALL. PASS." Kylie jumped from the step and crashed down upon the floor of the basement her staff lit with a great billowing light like a camera flash. It was on then out but she saw it or rather two things: the great big creature that guarded the basement and a light switch.

 

She only had a couple seconds…

 

Kylie scrambled against the hard floor of the basement the creature lept from where it was hiding, Kylie aiming for the light switch, the monster aiming for her. She could feel the monster's claws at her ankles ready to snatch her off her feet and drag her away. Just as it had her ankle.

 

Click

 

Just like that it was gone. The darkness and the creature. Light illuminated the basement revealing various. boxes and old furniture. The creature Kylie had seen was nothing more than some boxes and old toys. The rest of the group joined her.

 

"That's it? We were scared for nothing?" Paul asked, glancing around in disbelief.

 

"I wonder" Kylie mused and hit the light switch. Almost immediately the monster was back and now it was a race to get back up the-

 

Click

 

 

"Please don't do that again" Amy shouted, the panic gone with a stroke of the light switch.

 

"What's that?" Josh asked, pointing toward the other end of the basement where sat an ornate door. Upon the door was one symbol, an odd A like symbol.

 

"I have seen that before in my dreams," Kylie said.

 

"I know what it is!" Matt said.

 

"You do?" Paul, Amy and Kylie asked.

 

"Yeah it's Half-Life" Josh said.

 

"Best game ever" Matt said and the two boys fist bumped "wished they make the third already" 

 

"You just delayed it by another year dude" Josh scolded.

 

"You two are somehow right and wrong at the same time" Paul said. "Lambda, something the eggheads would talk about it, just to talk about adult stuff, something about wavelengths in math."

 

"That's Mommy's symbol" Amy said, "the elevendy letter of the Greek alphabet, or rather before the Greeks were made…the elevendeenth daughter" she gazed up at the symbol in reverie then it turned to fear.

 

"Amy, are you ok?" Kylie asked.

 

"We're not supposed to be down here, we'll be in big trouble!" She whined.

 

"We need to at least see what is behind there"

 

"Mommy is gonna be mad guys, she is gonna be mad" Amy had tears in her eyes.

 

"Guys, something is wrong with Amy," Kylie said, backing away from her.

 

"She is already gonna be mad at us, how much worse can it get?" Matt said. Amy then began to cry.

 

"No! I'ma good girl and I'm gonna tell on you!" Amy cried.

 

"No you don't! Josh! Stop her!" Paul ordered. Josh moved to grab Amy but the little girl ducked away and began to scramble up the stairs. "Damn it, open the door, only a matter of time before she finds a sitter and tells them"

 

"Wait what's gonna happen?" Kylie asked.

 

"She tells a sitter, sitter tells Mother, Mother shows right up, we need to get in now!" Paul said, pawing around the door for some kind of knob to open it with. "I swear this day cannot get any worse!"

 

"Well then open the door!" Matt said.

 

"There's no knob!" Paul stated.

 

"Push it?" Josh suggested.

 

"I am trying! You wanna help?" Paul said, giving the door another firm push.

 

"Open sesame!" Kylie said holding out her staff and hand in a gesture of pushing the door open.

 

"It's 'says me' not 'sesame'" Paul corrected the three boys now pushing on it. Kylie gave a huff. Once more she held up her hands and thought of opening the door. 'Focus harder' was what Amy told her. 'Difference between Hell and the Dream Realm is logic' that part still didn't make sense. Logically the door needed a knob to turn so that it could swing on the hinges and open. Kylie thought hard on how that was the case, unless it was like an automatic door and slid open because a camera spotted you, she thought hard on that too. Rotating doors you just push on them and then get an urge to keep pushing them and be falsely trapped in them 

 

"Focus" she told herself ”It is just a stupid door you push on and it swings open!”She yelled at herself, there was a loud pop!

 

"Woah!" the three boys yelled and tumbled through the entryway. The stone door opened up. Beyond the threshold was a space of pure darkness; a single brilliant light shining down from high above nothingness lit a path of fog that led toward one massive tree.

 

"How many steps did we go down?" Paul asked, looking toward the top of the tree.

 

"It's a magical space so your steps are useless" Matt said.

 

"This says magic to you?"

 

"Play enough RPGs and yeah…" Josh said.

 

"What is it?" Kylie asked, the four of them soon found themselves at the base of the tree. The tree was massive and up close appeared to be made of several different trees grown together, twisting and knitting together. Soon spreading out twisted branches of their own with a bounty of fruit hanging off the stems of those branches.

 

"Are those apples?" Josh asked. As he asked there came a groaning sound the limbs twisted and swayed the branches clacked about as the entire thing shifted around. Soon the entire base of the tree was of one singular kind of tree with the fruit in easy reach of them. Josh held up his hand to pick at the fruit but it didn't snap off the branch instead the stem elongated as he pulled. He noticed the fruit was clear with writing across the surface with something swirling inside. "Ignire Klapis Apple?" He read the etching on the surface. Then the swirling became a cloud and parted to show a demonic face. Josh yelled and let go of the fruit.

 

"What's wrong?" Paul asked, turning to the door stick drawn.

 

"Freaking horrific demon in that thing" Josh explained. Kylie grabbed a fruit.

 

"Bardare Sevich Apple" she read her fruit showed a set of eyes swirling inside. "Ew creepy" she let go of the apple. Matt grabbed one. This one has many stems on it and they each became their own branch that was absorbed into the tree.

 

"Apple McAppleface Apple," he read with a snort. The fruit then showed him an apple with one demonic eye and a pair of fangs. "Weird"

 

"Wait…" Josh looked at the tree pondering on all the names. "Mother…" he called out. The tree shifted once more this time bringing forth nearly millions of fruit except one of them was far larger than the others. Inching lower than all the others, glowed in a pinkish purple hue. Adorned on the flesh of the fruit was the elaborate etching of one word. "Lilith" Josh read. The tree shook and shifted, the branches cracked and split. Until they all separated into individual trees creating a vast forest around them casting the door miles away becoming lost amongst the trees until they were at the center of it all, with a pedestal and the fruit that now revealed a feminine face. She was pink skinned with two onyx horns, rose colored lips flaming magenta eyes gazed at the four kids.

 

"It has been some time darling hm?" The face gave a glance around and smiled. "Ah I see four little children where they shouldn't be" she cooed in a sultry tone. "What brings you to my family tree?" She asked.

 

"Are you Alex?" Kylie whispered.

 

"Alex?" Lilith asked, the ground began to glow with bright veins scattering across into the forest. "Many Alexs' darling. I am Lilith, the Mother of all daemons" she said.

 

"Are you…THE Lilith?" Matt asked.

 

"No, merely a portion of the real Lilith's power with the sole purpose to help with finding those on the family tree."

 

"We're looking for Mother," Paul said. Once more the veins on the floor shifted colored and glowed brightly.

 

"Many Mothers Darling, yours though…is mortal is she not? I cannot find someone who is naught a demon" Lilith.

 

"No…she calls herself Mother, runs The Daycare" at the mention of this Lilith lit up with joy.

 

"Little Elly of course! When you summoned me I had expected her, but, unfortunately she is in the Mortal Realm right now, darling"

 

"No, we need to know her name," Josh said.

 

"Why?" Lilith quirked a thin eyebrow, her joy having been replaced with a stern seriousness. Josh wasn't sure how to proceed, telling the truth was a no go. He gripped his stick tightly. It was then an idea formed. He was supposed to be a kid after all kids only knew Mom and Dad for their parents so…

 

"We just learned that parents have names, since Mother is all I know we were wondering what hers was" he told the fruit. Lillith's smile returned.

 

"Of course Darling! Her name is Eleven, I like to call her Elly, though she prefers Alex ever since her beloved passed away."

 

"Is that her true name?" Kylie asked. Lillith looked at Kylie and seemed to truly look at Kylie.

 

"Ah, I see you blood of the sage, I will not have you hurt my little Elly" she spoke in an icy tone that seemed to shake the world around them.

 

"I just want to get my friends, go home and go back to a normal Adult life!" Kylie yelled fury building in her.

 

"And you will do no more than that girl," Lillith said. "Opposition is expected, but do not harm my little girl beyond your need, her True name is Lambda De’Fillion" she said.

 

"Why tell us at all?" Paul asked.

 

"Little Elly has enough silly toys as it is, two or three hundred going missing won't do much but make her throw a tantrum"

 

"And if I decide to destroy her?" Kylie spoke low. Lillith giggled.

 

"Darling, I need not threaten dust mites like you" the face then seemed to hold up a hand and snap.

 

They didn't even blink and in that snap they were outside the room, even more they were outside the abandoned house and more than that outside the forest entirely standing upon the rainbow path of The Daycare that led every which way.

 

"I'll be watching…" Lillith whispered in Kylie's ear, sending ice through her veins.

 

"So…that was a thing," Matt said, looking around. They had simply appeared here and no one batted an eye just played in their own little worlds.

 

"So…now what?" Josh asked.

 

"I guess speak Mother's real be and get out of here"

 

"What about the Naughty Kids?" Josh asked.

 

"Yeah, about that…I am gonna split," he said.

 

"What?" Matt and Josh asked.

 

"Look, we got weapons now that our efforts can be doubled. I need to get back with my team and notify everyone what we know. Meanwhile you three can go home…you can be our test dummies, if you fail, means we just need to rescue you, if you succeed we'll be right behind you soon enough" Paul grinned. The three shared fist bumps and bro hugs. Paul took off with the sticks leaving only four behind, just in case Lilly wound up in The Daycare. "Hey! It's not like anything can get worse right?" 

 

Above them came the sound of bells that echoed pleasantly across the land they dinged and chimed and bellowed

a bong. Like a crashing wave came the voice of a goddess that entered the minds of all. A caring, warm and loving voice eager to see the many children after being away for so long. For Kylie, Matt, Josh and Paul it was the voice of death freezing them in place.

 

"Sweeties! Mommy's Home!"

[Vimboof]

Chapter 20: Mommy's Home

 

A cacophony of cheers spread across the land it filled the air drowning all other noise and threatened to deafen the ears of those who could hear. It was like hearing the wails of the damned except it was all joyous applause. Then came the tidal wave of children as they rushed toward the source of their admiration. Many who had lost their ability to walk were carried in the arms of their sitters or pushed in strollers and carriages. They stormed the cast platform of the portal as Alex welcomed them all with a large smile, her wings spreading out as wide as they could for a large hug and unfurling yards of soft blanket behind her for kids to wrap themselves up in. In her arms was a little girl dressed in white, sporting a thick pink diaper, her hair in pigtails as she gazed out at the wonderful new world of her new infant life.

 

Alex gently knelt down and began to hug the other children. Taking several in her arms and kissing each one on their head. The sitters gathered the infants in one area and began to leave like dutiful maids having served their mistress. Alex snapped her fingers and began to walk in…all directions. She split like an amoeba creating copies of herself that walked to a group of children and split off once more. From there each child got a copy of Mother, some shared, others coveted. No matter how selfless or selfish a child was, each one could have their own Mother for themselves if they wanted.

 

Alex stepped toward the four kids grinning unlike the many clones this one continued to hold the child in her arms.

 

"Aww look who it is!" Alex told the little girl. The girl hid her face in Alex's bosom as best she could. "No need to be shy, you remember Kylie, Matty and Josh" Alex told her, doing her best to get the girl to show her face.

 

"Kywee?" The girl asked looking down at the four of them.

 

"Good girl? Yes, Kylie" Alex set the little girl down.

 

"Oh my God…" Kylie mouthed "Lilly!" She rushed over to her friend and held her. Josh was just as fast to run over and check on his girlfriend. "What did she do to you?!" Kylie asked and was soon picked up by Alex who left a clone behind to tend to Lilly.

 

"I did exactly what she wanted, sweetie," Alex told her. "Did you know how stressed out she was?"

 

"She would tell me lots of times how stressful her job was and I was there to cheer her up!"

 

"You were? What she told me was how you made it worse!" Alex giggled.

 

"That's not true!" Kylie writhed in her grip and for her actions was quickly placed in a high chair. Kylie watched as another clone of Alex was busy 'playing' with Matt and Paul. She had them quickly caught up in a web of cloth designed to look like a fort with all the sticks they had.

 

"Oh but it is!" Alex grinned, taking up Kylie's view so her focus would only be on her. "Oh how she had to play mommy with you after a long day of work, 'Kylie stop eating candy you will ruin your dinner, Kylie girl pick up your clothes so I can wash them, Kylie sweetheart clean your room before I get back!'" Alex mocked Lilly's stern and sweet voice. "And all the while do you know what she wanted?" Alex asked but it was a rhetorical question. "She longed for the day her best friend would be mature and let her be the child for once" she said. Alex drew in close her wings folding around the entirety of the high chair and the blanket-like wings drooping low to completely house the two alone. "More than that she fantasized about her Little Kylie being the mommy! 'Lilly where is your diaper, let Momma Kylie change you and then we'll get your baba'" Alex spoke in a terrifyingly accurate voice to Kylie's own, if a bit more mature.

 

"T-t-thats not true, '' Kylie stammered. Alex popped a pacifier into Kylie's mouth.

 

"Did you know that while I was diapering you and regressing you she was actually envious. She longed to stop the rat race of adult life and longed to lie back in a crib without a care in the world. Every night she was sneaking into the nursery to rub against a diaper. Of course I never noticed since I was too busy with you. Only trying to regress her during the day, I should have swapped my routine. And I would have never known if you hadn't left!" Alex punctuated her point with a boop on Kylie's nose.

 

"Dat nah too!" Kylie wailed.

 

"Lilly snap out of it?" Josh said, gripping Lilly's shoulder tight. Lilly began to whine and tried to pull away from Josh.

 

"Josh be careful you can't hold babies that tight" Alex said with a grin and gently pulled Lilly into her lap. "Gentle they are delicate, isn't that right sweetie?" Alex cooed at Lilly who giggled up at her mommy.

 

"Change her back!" Josh yelled which made Lilly start to cry. Alex gently bounced her and smirked down at Josh.

 

"I can change her diaper, but I won't change her back" Alex smirked, I think it’s a cute back” she added rubbing Lilly's back.

 

"I'll make you!" Josh growled. Alex broke into laughter. This also made Lilly giggle though she appeared clueless as to why they were laughing.

 

"You can't tie your own shoes let alone make me do anything but diaper your cute little bottom"

 

"We know your real name, Lamb-durff" as if with Lighting Alex had pacified Josh with her tail, the other Alex's had done the same with all the others. Her joyful yet smug attitude had quickly changed to hateful spite"

 

"I see…we have been very naughty children it seems" Alex growled her eyes gazing off toward the direction of the abandoned house. "It seems I have…neglected something…for too long…" her voice just above a whisper. Her eyes came to focus on Josh. She moved Lilly off her lap and gave her a stuffed giraffe to play with. Alex moved to hover above Josh placing a hand on his shoulder. "I think Mommy needs to make sure you're safe sweetie" her smile returned. "Mommy needs to keep her eyes on you more" she pushed Josh onto his back and held him in place. "Thinking on it, if I have to keep my eyes on you, maybe I need to make sure you are always getting dressed properly" Alex began to run a finger over his chest. His clothes began to change color and material, the patterns shifting from stripes to shapes and from shapes to characters. "Maybe I should also make sure you are fed properly, getting enough sleep, but then to make sure you are sleeping well I should have something so you stay in bed, like bars all around you" then she gasped as if she had forgotten something. "What about the potty? I can't have you always getting up during naps and bedtime, I think we should forget the potty then"

 

"Noh!" Josh tried to struggle and get out of Alex's grasp. He tried to claw at her and hit her but her magic quickly had his hands encased in soft blue mittens. He could only watch as she produced a thick diaper.

 

"Might as well treat you just like a baby" Alex grinned as she lifted Josh's leg up to slide the diaper under him. It wasn't long before he was changed and once secured in his diaper he heard Kylie wail.

 

Matt and Paul grabbed the next best stick and aimed them at Alex; they began to blast Alex in a hail of gunfire sounds. Alex began to feign being shot and theatrically died before the two boys.

 

"It has been such a long time since I have played such games!" Alex said, looking at the two boys in their fort. Matt and Paul readied for another volley but Paul stopped as he saw the damage they had caused, there was none. 

 

"Bang" Paul yelled firing his weapon again, there was no bullet and Alex didn't get hit nor did she feign being hit. Matt rummaged for a new weapon among the sticks.

 

"Unlike Matty, hmm" she pondered for just a second, "unlike MADDIE, you are quick to notice. A trait you and your club are so silly to keep"

 

"We are going to win, we will see you fall into the pits of hell and burn to cinders" Paul growled. Alex giggled.

 

"Fun fact sweetie, the pits are actually very pleasant, warm stones to lie upon that just seem to press against every knot in your muscles, a cool gentle breeze so you never get too hot, cool rivers that lead into hot springs, best vacation spot honestly. If you wanted me to burn however, there is the Black Sea, but even I wouldn't wish that place on my enemies, not after last time" Alex winced from the painful memory.

 

"Screw you!" Paul screamed but was quickly muted with a pacifier. Matt finally turned around after finding the stick he wanted and was rewarded with his own pacifier.

 

"Now, now, no cursing! We can't have bad language around the babies, which is all of you" Alex cooed. Matt hoisted the stick high and charged yelling as best he could with the pacifier in his mouth. He swung the stick but it was quickly snatched from his hands. Alex hoisted it high between both hands, thumbs extended across its length, a clear sign of threatening to snap it. "Be a good girl or I will snap your little stick." She warned.

 

"It ish a shord ann it'sh mine!" Matt roared, jumping up to grab it but failing. Soon Kylie began to wail.

 

The many Alex near the five kids vanished. Alex looked over the babies around her and raised a hand giving a simple snap. Several babysitters quickly appeared bowing before their mistress.

 

"I think these babies' nap times are long overdue." Alex said and looked at her older children. "We will take Kylie and Lilly to the nursery, place Josh and Pauly with them and little Maddie shall join the other sweet princesses," Alex said. The sitters went to their respective charges and restrained them in a stroller. The entire lot of them began to travel down the road while Alex cuddled Lilly in her arms.

 

There was as much resistance from the group as a toddler to an adult. They could only watch as they traveled the rainbow road heading ever closer to the massive castle that always hung on the horizon.

 

"This is going to be such a good move for you all!" Alex said, taking the lead of the pack. "You four have honestly been the most fun I have had in all the time I have spent on the Mortal Realm." She said "Kylie, obviously has always been a baby, Lilly, that difficult adult who has their life straight but surprisingly was a wittle baby this whole time!" Alex pinched at Lilly's cheek. "Josh, Maddie, I deeply apologize I couldn't Interact with you more, but you seemed to have fun while on your own, even made a friend!" Alex looked at Paul. Matt and Paul did their best to get free of their binds but it was for naught.

 

"While we walk and talk, Pauly, as you are fully aware several little babies are out there resisting to accept they need their Mommy, I offer you whatever you desire if you-"

 

"Nebah!" Paul shouted behind his pacifier. Alex smiled, shaking her head.

 

"I offer whatever you desire"

 

"I wam aww da abdulps ta bee fwee!" Paul yelled.

 

"All? I am afraid that can't be done sweetie, can I offer you five? No! Three"

 

"Aww or nofin!" Paul demanded. Alex only smiled.

 

"Just like all the others…predictable…" Alex shook her head. "I offer more than freedom, power? Fame? Money? Your wish is my coman-"

 

"Fweedom!" Paul roared, raising his fist high and began to chant. "Fweedom! Fweedom! Fweedom!" Alex only giggled at how cute he was being. 

 

"So much energy, you will be able to get all of that out into your diaper soon baby" Alex said. "Three good little girls and two rambunctious boys"

 

"We awe going to beat you Yamda!" Kylie said. While she couldn't see it she knew Alex's eye twitched at that.

 

"Well, perhaps we can play a different game than that one later, we have so much to do." Alex said, looking up at the large gates of the castle. At her approach they opened with a beautiful playful song. The group walked in to see the massive hall of the castle.

 

Toys covered the floor from children playing, even now there were some children playing with a copy of Alex doting on them. Doors connected to different rooms, one plainly was a mess hall of sorts, mess being the key word, several different play rooms with varying degrees of toys for each age. Tunnels and slides criss-crossed the hall above them and slides slid to each different room with many ending in the great hall.

 

"Now let's see" Alex pondered and looked down at her children.

 

"Josh, Paul you are going to go into this slide ready?" Alex snapped her fingers and the two boys were pulled from their seats by attending sitters and brought toward a blue slide. The boys struggled and fought with every ounce of strength but once on the plastic surface there was nothing to fight but gravity. Slowly the two boys tried to brace against the surface, to slow or stop their descent. Yet the surface was slippery as if wax or oil covered every inch of the slide. As they went down the entrance, slowly moving out of sight and then there was no stopping as the slide dipped down a bit further and they were off. Their screams of despair echoed from the tunnel eventually fading away.

 

The group traveled a bit further passing through some doors and entering more hallways with the same setup, doors, tunnels and slides but each held a different theme from the last.

 

"I think it would fit best here" Alex pulled Matt out this time. He fought twice as hard. 

 

"I am not some baby! I will wreck your face, you stupid-" as he fought he tried biting and punching but only earned mittens that Alex deftly placed on him as if his struggles was routine and she became a master at handling him. He was even earned a pacifier before he reached the bad words and was placed in a hot pink tunnel before being pushed to his fate.

 

"Lastly you two" Alex beamed. "I think you two have some catching up to do and I have a special friend waiting for you as well!" Alex said.

 

The two girls were taken from their stroller and carried up several flights of steps. On their way kids laughed and giggled as they slid down the stairs. Kylie even witnessed what was a horrible crash but the castle walls seemed to transform into soft pillowy cushions that saved the kids. They laughed uproariously and quickly set themselves back up to crash again.

 

"Aww we're gonna crash again and, Boom!" Alex played along as they passed enjoying the kids at play. More halls, more rooms and more kids at play. Soon the girls were placed in a small room settled into high chairs and locked in them. "Now I think the first thing we should go over is to understand the sort of fate lying in wait for you!" Alex said, leaning down to look at Kylie with her motherly grin.

 

"What have you done with Matt and Josh!" Kylie yelled.

 

"Shhhhh, Shhhh, it's ok, no need to yell baby" Alex said softly. "They are safe, placed in their respective rooms where they can adjust at their own pace, Josh I expect is going to be a big boy, very playful, Maddie on the other hand well….that's a show I don't want to miss, I love boys like him, not to say I don't love all my children equally but I get a special "Mommy" pleasure with boys like him" Alex said. "Now let's not concern ourselves with him and be more concerned with you!" Alex said and reached beyond Kylie's view to pull in another object. It was a bassinet and she pulled out a small girl who began to whimper and cry.

 

"You can either be like little Lilly here. Be yourself and a sweet little baby girl for Mommy" Alex leaned down and gave Lilly a kiss who returned the kiss gleefully. Or you can be like bad little Amy here" Alex then revealed the child to be Amy who struggled in vain to move out of the blankets. Her pacifier was removed and she began to wail a bit louder.

 

"Mommy please I am a good girl! I have done everything you ever asked of me! I love you Mommy, please can I just go play!" She begged.

 

"Amy" Mother said calmly…too calmly for Kylie's liking. "I can forgive your failings, I can forgive the wants and reasons for your actions, but I cannot forgive the betrayal, you hurt mommy very much with what you planned to do" she said.

 

"I know and I am very sowwy mommy pwease, no, pwease don't I get-uh choose!" Amy pleaded doing her best baby voice to pander to Alex's good side.

 

"Remember Henry sweetie? Or Daisy? Remember how I kept giving them a choice to not betray me, how even then they still tried to take my throne? I am sorry sweetie, but you need to think of it this way, now Mommy can raise you properly" Alex began to unbutton her shirt. With a snap of her finger a large rocking chair appeared molded from stone and wood atop the head rest was that odd A the eleventh letter of the Greek alphabet, Lambda. Mother's name adorned upon the headrest in just one letter. "Kylie I will give you a choice later, I still think you can be a good girl for Mommy and will come around like many of my babies but I do want to show you what path you may walk should you be too troublesome for me" Alex pulled aside her blouse to show her breasts trapped behind her bra she unclasped a button and let one breast free. It jiggled heavily with milk, some of the white nectar already leaking from an engorged teat. Lilly became distressed then, she wiggled about and held her hands out grasping at the air in reverence toward the object of her desire.

 

"Mommy milk, Mommy Milk!" She begged. Kylie looked upon the same breast and remembered her time in the dream realm how she suckled that breast herself she began to yearn for a taste herself.

 

"I'll get you a baba soon babies" Alex said and brought Amy to her breast wrestling the girl a bit until she eventually latched onto her nipple and began to drink. Even though all Kylie could see was the back of Amy's head she could tell the girl was nursing as if it was the last meal she would ever have and that it was the most delicious thing in the entire world and she would never get full. Alex beamed down at Amy, a smile of pure maternal joy on her face. Lilly whined wanting a turn desperate for the connection of mother and daughter.

 

"Lilly…you can't possibly…want…that" Kylie said her eyes fixated on any exposed flesh of the milk laden breast if only mommy would expose the other so she could at least imagine herself nursing upon that one. Kylie shook her head and fought back against the brainwashing Alex induced upon her. "No!" Kylie yelled and wriggled in her highchair trying her best to break free, she fought against a strong current, tried to push a massive boulder and did her best to swim up from the bottom of the raging sea. It was all pointless.

 

"So much energy, did you miss a nap baby, I am sure all of you missed your nap, we will fix that don't you worry" Alex then removed Amy from her nipple and brought her over to show Kylie. "Look Kylie it is your baby sister" Kylie looked into the bundle of blankets to see the face of a newborn child. Her skin was a shade blue with little bumps on her forehead.

 

"She is…so…small," Kylie murmured.

 

"Yes, a gift and a curse of mine. Those who drink upon my breast shall become newborns, their previous lives erased in their entirety. Yet sometimes I just wish to feed my babies without them regressing so far so I just refrain from doing so. Thankfully though." Alex then set a baby bottle on Kylie's tray then on Lillys'. "All my children may enjoy my milk, just not from the tap," Alex giggled.

 

Lilly had already dived into her baba and was greedily sucking it down. Kylie only needed a bit of coaxing from Alex before her lips were around the teat and sucking down the sweet white nectar.

 

"Good girls, mommy will be right back, then it will be a diaper change and then a nap" Alex told them and walked off cooing at Amy.

 

"Isn't this the bestestest!" Lilly exclaimed after she pulled the nipple from her lips. Kylie had to first finish her bottle before she could remove the nipple.

 

"Yeah" she said dreamily then her mind snapped to reality. "No!" She yelled. "Lilly this isn't right we are adults! We were gonna go to the amusement park! Camping! Get drunk, maybe have an orgy!" Kylie faced her friend as best she could.

 

"What?!" Lilly looked appalled.

 

"Matt and I talked about it, he was on board as far as You and I with him but didn't want to do anything too sexual with Josh, I said just a bit of kissing, do you think you could rub yourselves together, no penetration is fine…Not the point right now!" Kylie said getting back on track. "We are adults Lilly, this was our ‘to be our last chance’ before life would really smack us around! Especially for me! Matt and I had an offer on a house? Can you believe that!"

 

"You had a house?" Lilly asked.

 

"Yeah and once we had a house Matt and I were gonna take bets on which piece of furniture we would conceive on"

 

"You…you were gonna be a Mommy?"

 

"Yeah Lilly I was gonna be a Mommy, Alex has ruined any chance at that, and we need to fight back so we can have those lives back!"

 

"I no wanna!" Lilly said, crossing her arms and pouting. 

 

 "What!"

 

"I love my diapees! I love my babas and I love Mommy!"

 

"Lilly, don't be stupid!"

 

"You're stupid! I hate being a big girl! I hate the paperwork, the constant stress of being relied upon for every little thing, I hate having to plan out a schedule, I hated my job, I never wanted to be a business woman but oh no! my parents had to have a successful daughter if I wasn't a doctor or C.E.O of a big company or famous actress or god damn billionaire then what was the point!" Lilly lost the baby lisp for her own voice. "And I hate you!"

 

"Lilly, you don't mean that…." Kylie murmured, feeling tears in her eyes.

 

"You are the worst friend! Lilly I want candy, Lilly look at my new dress, Lilly look at how much Matt and I fuck! Lilly cook me something! Lilly I need money! Lilly, take care of my clothes, my homework, Lilly, take care of me!" Lilly said in a mocking voice. "All it has ever been is you! You are such a child, you deserve diapers, I hope that demon makes you suck on her tit so I can watch you turn into the infant you truly are, maybe she can raise you better than your parents did" Lilly said grumbling.

 

"Lilly pwease!" Kylie begged she was in tears now after hearing her best friend speak so poorly of her. There came the snaps of the trays. Kylie was pulled into an arm and she clung to Alex as she cried. All the while Lilly glared hatefully at her, pouting the whole way to their crib.

 

"Big emotions, let it all out girls" Alex said. Each girl was placed in her own crib. A soft lullaby played in the room accompanied by Kylie's sobbing.

 

"She's such a spoiled brat" Lilly grumbled glaring at Kylie.

 

"You don't mean that Lilly" Alex said "you are best friends just having big emotions right now"

 

"I hate her!" Lilly spat.

 

"No you don't, get some sleep now" Alex said, lifting the bars to Lilly's crib, who grabbed her stuffed giraffe. She then tended to Kylie, "there there sweetie big emotions let it all out, yeah big sister Lilly being a grumpy pants that life is behind us now and we can have new ones here ok?" Alex laid Kylie down

and began to change her diaper. The crib bars were raised and Kylie was given her favorite stuffed squirrel, Checkers. Kylie cried into the stuffed toy, eventually petering out into sleep.

Chapter 21: The Naughty Kids Reunion

 

Josh and Paul landed into what could only be described as a cloud. They picked themselves up but before they could really orient themselves were picked up by two attending sitters. A bit dazed from the long slide and sudden fluffy stop they tried to wriggle about but ultimately were overpowered by whoever held them. The boys were deposited into cribs wrapped in a soft blanket and given a baba. At first they refused but it was held firmly to their lips and once they had a taste of the wonderfully sweet milk they couldn't resist. Once fed, sleep came quickly.

 

A soft joyful tune played waking the boys from slumber. They were removed from their cribs and carried to a new room. They rubbed sleep from their eyes and soon found themselves in a large room with several other kids all placed in individual playpens. The scene was reminiscent of a prison yard.

 

"Blue Sock! Finally decided to join us!" Called a boy from across the room.

 

"That you Joe?" Paul called back.

 

"Sure is! Chales should be here shortly, meeting can begin then" Paul looked across the room, each playpen held a person he recognized as being part of The Naughty Kids.

 

"Where's Robert?" Paul asked. Joe just shook his head.

 

"Boogeyman got him…the thing had me but Robert…he tackled the thing, startled the creature it let me go but it took him…not all of us made it Paul…shit we thought it got you and the newbies…"

 

"Matt is fine!" Josh added "we were able to escape because-"

 

"Save it for the meeting rookie" Alpha said and the door opened. A sitter came walking in and deposited a red headed toddler in a playpen.

 

"Now you all play nice!" She said and left the room. 

 

"I call dis meet-ting to or-der" the child had trouble with his words. He grabbed a car and some blocks and began to play with them rambling to the toys.

 

"What happened to him?" Josh asked.

 

"That is what you can expect from here on out." Joe said. Charles seemed to be in his own little world as he spoke slowly and played with blocks. "They are regressing us bit by bit. They focused hard on Charles when we got here, as he was our leader, this is the best we got, he still has his moments of lucidity but we are never sure when he will have those moments. They just place him here as a sign of what we will become" Joe said.

 

"Ahh…Captain what did they do to you?" Paul moaned.

 

"We might have a way out of here!" Josh said.

 

"Yeah how's that?"

 

"We learned of Mother's real name and can use that to control her!" Josh declared.

 

"No freakin' way how'd you learn that"

 

"Not important right now, but her name is Lamby Pamby Fliperdoodles!" Josh babbled in the most excited child's voice, then was horrified. It was like someone had just forced something down his throat and treated him like some ventriloquist doll. A bunch of the kids laughed.

 

"What the hell Josh?" Paul asked.

 

"Yeah I expected that" Joe said. "First sign of their brainwashing. Something in the BaBas! Yummy Dummy!" Joe seemed to flip a switch as he excitedly cheered out in a childish tone. He cleared his throat and regained his composure. "From what we have discussed before they first target random words as a trigger or in Charles' case and probably yours as well a very specific word…try saying her name again"

 

Josh was a little hesitant; he didn't want that horrible feeling to come back and control him but he had to at least try to resist.

 

"Lambadicious!" He cheered and once more gagged at whatever forced itself into his mouth.

 

"Twice now you started with Lamb so I can take it the name starts with an L maybe even Lamb" Joe said.

 

"You got it," Paul said. "It is going to take a bit, but Alphabet game…" Paul picked up a pair of blocks and the room grew quieter than before and listened. Joe nodded his head and began to say the Alphabet when he reached L Paul clacked the blocks together, then Joe started over with A and once more Paul clacked the blocks. This continued until Joe had fully spelt out Mother's name; Lambda DeFillion.

 

"Alright, we know the name now, but will it work?" Joe asked. Paul shrugged.

 

"I offer myself as tribute!" Called a girl.

 

"You sure, Cult?" Joe asked the girl.

 

"Chance to summon a demon has always been a dream of mine, I would love to stick it to that babalababloppydoo" the girl, Cult, babbled.

 

"Permission granted then, though worst case scenario is you speak it Blue Sock and Rookie will be in massive trouble. You two sure you want to chance it right now?"

 

"Not sure if any time will be good, if we can catch her by surprise we might be able to end this here and now" Paul said.

 

"Do it…let's end it now" Josh nodded and the kids all nodded and Cult cleared her throat.

 

"Lambda-" and she was gone. No smoke or fire or magical puff of sparkles she just vanished in less than a blink of an eye.

 

"I don't think that was supposed to happen" One kid said.

 

"Well clearly that was a bust…Mommy!, Is clearly more attentive than we thought." Joe said.

 

The sound of footsteps echoed from beyond the playroom door. All the kids turned toward it and as the steps approached the door they stopped. The door knob jiggled a bit then turned before slowly opening. None other than Mother herself stepped through in all her demonic glory. She smiled at each of the kids and locked her eyes upon Josh and Paul. She slowly approached and smiled down at them.

 

"Who's a clever boy?" She cooed. "Is it you? Is it you?" She asked and tickled at the two boys making them giggle in response despite their refusal to. "It seems my arrogance has gotten the better of me and I have almost been deeply humbled by the absolute humiliation of you two" Mother stood up and began to walk around the room. "I knew it would be troublesome to keep each and everyone of you naughty children in one room. Your refusal to be good little babies has been a fun and delightful game that has helped kept me on my toesies for all these eons. Yet ever since I gained access to the Mortal Realm I become a bit lax in these few decades and it seems I must put an end to this game" She said.

 

"Lamb-MEEEE, Mommy! Mommy! Hehehehehe" SNAP one kid tried to yell her name but with a snap that changed the child crawled around in their playpen and grabbed a toy car and held it up to show off to Mother.

 

"Like that! my little babies…I need not have you nurse upon my breasts or hypnotize you with cartoons, or manipulate your lives to regress you to being my adoring little children" She said. "I just need to- SNAP she aimed her finger as she snapped her finger and another kid was instantly changed into a child who began to chew on the first squishy toy they got their hands on. "But you know? I hate doing it this way" SNAP "it is too easy! SNAP "boring" SNAP "Sure I get my little ones to care for" SNAP "Yet there is just a sort of pleasure you can only get by taking the long route" SNAP Only half the room was left now. Each kid panicked, unsure who would be next to be changed. "An artist who can just click a button to create a masterpiece, what sort of fun is that without actually drawing or painting? You are just doing it to gain fame or wealth then, pathetic!" SNAP "A Racecar driver who simply needs to stand on the sidelines and hold down a button with no danger or skill required to actually compete in the race! Why even bother to race then?" SNAP" Even a serial killer would agree to just push a button and your prey is dead, without the screams and blood and the hunt, why even bother then” SNAP

 

It was now only Joe, Paul and Josh that were left. Alex aimed her finger at the two boys and smiled.

 

"I don't have to worry about you two though do I?" She asked. The two boys stood firm but cowered before her. "I made sure you two could never say my true name, so do you like what is happening, do you want Mommy to be upset?" They shook their heads looking at her hand which was ready to snap her finger once more. "Good, we want Mommy to be happy so she doesn't punish us right?" They nodded. "Then you understand why Mommy has done this right? It is for your own good" she then turned toward Joe.

 

Alpha stood firm and stared her down. Not a bead of sweat graced his brow. While it seemed fruitless to stand against the terrifying demon he did so despite all odds.

 

"I am not afraid of you, no matter what you do to me I will fight with everything in me! The Naughty Kids have not lost yet…we were but a small frontline base protected by that abandoned house!" Mother's eyebrow shot up but she did not smile. "Yeah that's right, there are more of us, thousands in parts of your land that have long been forgotten. We brave the shadows of night, the pits of basements and darkness of basements. We are Adults not some sniveling children who need their-" SNAP" -Mommy! Mommy I'm hungwy!" Joey whined bouncing up and down in his playpen.

 

"YOU FUCKING BITCH!" Paul roared. Mother snapped around and rushed to him, grabbing his arm.

 

"You listen to me young man! None of this would have happened if you hadn't told them my name" she said and let him go. With a snap of her finger that made the boys jump two sitters showed up. "Put them in time out and give Paulie a bar of soap, he has a dirty mouth" she ordered and stormed off "and give Joey a snack!" She added on her way out.

 

Paul and Josh were lifted from their playpen and carried out of the room. Charles had looked back an expression of pain and sorrow on his face as he watched them go. There was a small toot from him and whatever sense of clarity he had was gone.

 

The boys were carried down into a more greyish and less playful room. Each boy was placed upon a stool facing a corner. This was to be their punishment in a place so boring it would have the kids crying and begging that they would be good so they could go play. It was a room of rumination for them. As ordered Paul was given a bar of soap strapped to his head like a gag so he couldn't spit it out.

 

"Now you two think about what you did, and if you leave your seat it will just mean a longer sentence" the sitter said and they left the room.

 

"I think I have a plan-" Josh said but he cut his sentence short. The room was more odd than he anticipated. His voice seemed to get lost among the drab walls vanishing into the corner instead of bouncing back for himself to hear. "Once we get out of here…" Josh spoke slowly and winced he wasn't even sure if Paul heard him speak. "Paul, can you hear me?" He asked. There wasn't a reply Josh turned despite the fact he had to face the corner and he was met with another corner. He turned the other way thinking he had only mis-turned and still was met with another corner. No matter how he swiveled on his seat he was only met with corner after corner. He was trapped in a box of some kind. He wanted to stand up but the second he told his legs to do so a creeping fear fell upon him. Something was watching him, stalking his movements and it was right behind him, if he stood up it would pounce. Sure he could spin around but the corner followed with him. Josh sat there waiting as the feeling went away. They told him not to move from his seat and he didn't want to now.

 

The minutes ticked by as he still sat facing that drab corner there was no other sound but his own breath and heartbeat and his mind constantly trying to think of ways to leave, speaking Lambda's name was impossible, standing up was forbidden, trying to do anything but sit and stare at the wall was impossible. Mother was right had they not played the game to tell everyone Mother's true name they wouldn't be here right now. All of those Naughty Kids would still be adults slowly being regressed instead of just turned instantly into kids. Now that he thought about it, it plagued his mind. "I'm sorry, why didn't we just say her name before she was upon us? Why did we just let her take control? He asked his mind replaying the events as he was forced on the ground and diapered.

 

"Because I wanted to get caught" he thought. Josh jumped at the foreign thought. It was like someone spoke to him he turned to look for the voice even though it was his own. "I wanted to be diapered"

 

"No I didn't!" He shouted and clutched at his head. His own mind was betraying him.

 

"I loved it when Mommy diapered me, I really should use it" he thought.

 

"Shut up!" He yelled "I don't want to be here"

 

"I love it here!"

 

"I don't want to be her baby"

 

"I want to be her baby boy forever"

 

"I want to go home!"

 

"I am home"

 

Back and forth Josh fought off the intrusive thoughts that plagued his mind. He could feel his will breaking down to start actually believing what he thought. 

 

"Ok, you can get up" that mature warm voice spoke. The voices in his head stopped but he felt exhausted. Josh turned to see Mother sitting up on her throne one leg over the other, hands gripping the arms as she stared down at them. "But your punishment isn't over" she growled. "You need to understand you did a very bad thing and I know you are learning, but sometimes a gentle hand isn't enough, which is why we have timeouts and soap and naps. Mommy loves you very much, she wants you two to be very good boys for her." Mother held one hand up and reached out towards nothing, dipping her hand into a black void slowly she pulled out something long, wide and wooden, with several holes drilled through it, so it could be swung without much air with still enough surface area to strike a large area of flesh. Several dark runes covered the length of wood giving it an air of magic and menace. "This is going to hurt me, more than it will hurt you" like a magic phrase: the paddle lit up with pink and blue flames, the dark runes now glowing in cotton candy light, Ebenezer Von Spank clearly visible along the length of wood.

 

"Let's start with you Josh…" Mother said. Josh turned to run but there was no where to go. He was quickly snatched up and bundled up in her blanket like wings. Dragged along the floor toward her and settled into her arms. Mother undid the bundle of blankets and set Josh on her lap. Josh now looked over at Paul, the gag was out and he did his best to spit out the soap without actually spitting.

 

"Do you know why I am doing this Josh?" Mother asked but he didn't answer. "You tried to tell everyone my name, a name no little one needs to know, you and all my children need to call me Mommy or Mama, Ma, Mom or Mother there is no other name they need to know. You need to learn this and saddly it has to be done this way. So sweetie I am going to spank you and every time you will say 'Thank You Mommy' so you may learn on how to properly address me, do you understand?"

 

Josh laid there in her lap. Her thighs were plump like a pillow not too firm that his chest hurt but not too soft either. Her one hand held his arm keeping him from sliding away. It too was gentle but firm his arm didn't hurt from her gripping too tight but he knew he couldn't get away. Josh nodded as she asked him a question.

 

"I want you to say it sweetie" Mother told him.

 

"Yes, I understand" he said and felt a small tap on his bottom"

 

"Yes what?" She asked.

 

"Yes…Mommy…" he said defeated.

 

"Good boy" Mother then pulled his pants down exposing his diaper. She pressed her hand against it and slipped a finger in one of the leg holes. "It isn't good to hold in your pee pee and poo poo baby. So may this also be a lesson on that," she said.

 

SPANK came the crack of the paddle Josh had braced for the hit but didn't anticipate how little that would help. The diaper while thick didn't cushion him against the assault of the paddle it was if his bottom was bare for it.

 

"Thank you Mommy!" Josh !yelled gritting his teeth to the stinging pain of the paddle. B]SPANK[/b] "Thank you Mommy!" The next but was worse and already he felt tears welling up. Mother kept spanking and he kept thanking her. Eventually he couldn't stop the tears and cried. He couldn't help himself either when his bladder finally failed him and his bowels filled his diaper. That was when the spankings got worse, the paddle smashing the poop around his bottom. He felt so small and so helpless when the spankings stopped he cried for the pain of his sore bottom, he cried for a new diaper. It felt it had taken so long he cried for some food, a baby bottle would suffice. He cried for Mommy to give him that baba.

 

Josh's eyes were covered in tears but he watched as Paul was brought up on Mommy's lap and his bottom exposed after being told why he was being spanked. He didn't have a diaper, not that it would help. At first Josh tried to count how many spanks Paul would receive, maybe he would then know how many he was given. One, Two, Three. The searing pain of his bottom distracted him and he lost count, One, Two, Thee, and the pain made him lose track. Josh tried to move off his bottom and count again, but then his diaper would sag and stick to him and every time he tried to count past three he would become distracted. 

 

"One, Two, Five, Three, Eleventy", Josh rattled off doing his best to ignore the pain, but he soon learned he was just saying numbers, he couldn't count. He forgot what was after Three, was Five before or after Two? The pain was too much it kept him from thinking straight and the diaper was so messy it was uncomfortable.

 

Before he knew it he was scooped up into Mommy's arm along with Paul who was crying with him.

 

"It is all over, all's forgiven, what is my name?" Mommy asked.

 

"Mommy" the boys answered together.

 

"Exactly, now let's get Joshy here a new diaper and get you two some food" Josh was then laid down. He hadn't noticed when the room had gone from bland grey to a colorful world of rocket ships and planes race cars and super heros. He found he was on a changing mat and Mommy quickly had him out of the used diaper and cleaned up for a new one. “Paulie I know you are a big boy but do you want a soft cozy diaper for your sore bottom?" Paul nodded and was soon diapered with Josh. "You let Mommy know when you need to go potty so she can take your diaper off, if you use that diaper though mommy will treat you like a baby ok?"

 

"Ok" Paul said Josh and Paul were picked up into Mommy's hand as they were taken to a mess hall. Paul got his own chair with a booster seat and Josh was placed in a high chair. Both were given crackers and chicken nuggets, Paul was handed a sippy cup and Josh a baba. All was forgiven and the boys were happy with how Mommy was caring for them. It wasn't as bad as they had thought.

 

 

Chapter 22: Matt's Escape

 

Matt landed with a heavy thud up on the plush mattress. Around him were white bars painted with pink dots and pictures of tulips. Beyond that a room like any other with one entire wall having a massive mirror.

 

"Hello Princess!" Came a bubbly voice Matt turned to be met with a woman with golden curls, pink lipstick, blush, eyeshadow and in a white and pink polo dress with matching socks and mary-jane shoes.

 

"Who are you calling princess?" Matt snapped pounding on the bars in an attempt to break them.

 

"Why you! Cutie!" She responded. "All little princesses come here when they are getting ready to play!" She said,

 

"Yeah well get your eyes checked lady I am a man!" Matt said.

 

"Oh, I am sorry you are so confused! The fact you are in this room means you are a princess! All little boys know that that slide is for girls, and since all kids know that that must mean you know it and so…you must be a princess!" The woman said her head bobbing left and right as she seemed to try and do very difficult math in her head only to come to the answer with a small jump at her conclusion.

 

"That is because Mother forced me down here!" Matt rattled at the bars trying his best to climb them but failing. No matter how he tried to climb them they were just too slippery.

 

"Mama doesn't force any of her children, cutie patootie! If she helped you down the slide it means she thinks this is best for you!" The woman reached into the crib and pulled Matt out. He kicked and punched and swiped and struggled to his credit the woman struggled to keep him in her hands.

 

"That is bullshit, she forced me to come here, she has forced my girlfriend and her friend to dress in stupid baby outfits, she forced me down that slide and if you don't think that is forced then you are just some delusional bimbo!" Matt fought but he was soon placed in a princess styled highchair.

 

"Oh cutie! You must be so excited!" The woman ignored everything Matt said. "Where should we start? Makeup, or dresses? Full on princess or more the casual girly girl?" She pondered.

 

"Start with her diapers Sherry" a more mature voice said. Matt turned to see Mother entering the room.

 

"Mommy!" The woman screamed and rushed to hug the demoness. Mother patted the woman's head before approaching Matt.

 

"How is my little girl doing?" She asked.

 

"I am NOT a little GIRL!" Matt yelled again banging on the tray of the high chair.

 

"How can you be so sure, many little boys and girls are confused on such a subject" Mother said. Matt grabbed his pants and shoved them down, kicking them off and grabbing at his crotch.

 

"This! This is how I know you dumb bitch!" He said earning a twitch of the eye from Mother, then she giggled.

 

"Well if you are going to toss your big boy undies away like that we might as well get you in your diaper."

 

“Like Hell I am going to be in a diaper!" Matt roared.

 

"Sweetie…this is Hell!" Mother gave a flap of her wings and the blanket-like material lashed out to snatch at Matt's arms and legs. He was pulled into Mother's arms and carried from the high chair to a changing table. Where he was strapped down. Mother removed his shirt so he was completely naked before her. He did his best to struggle but with all his screaming and struggling before was tiring himself out. "Now sweetie, which would you prefer" Mother said and with the help of Sherry held up several diapers before him. One was pink with Disney princesses, one was purple with pink flowers. Another white with pink baby paraphernalia. One was simply pink and another a plain white.

 

"How about none of them…" Matt growled.

 

"I am going to let you pick one sweetie, oh? Maybe I was mistaken and you are such a small helpless baby making choices is just too hard for you and Mommy needs to pick out-"

 

"That one," Matt interrupted, pointing at the plain white diaper. Mother grabbed it and smiled.

 

"Aww, Mommy's choice, how sweet" Mother cooed.

 

"That's not fair!"

 

"Fair? Everything is fair baby, you just don't understand the rules" Mother said with a flick of her wrist the diaper changed form. It was pink around the sides white down the middle large colorful blocks spelled out the word "Baby Girl", around the legs were ruffles and the back had a series of lace to make it more like a skirt.

 

"You never said there were rules!" Matt said as Mother began to clean around his crotch and slide the diaper under him.

 

"Babies never know the rules, you don't see babies knowing not to scream in public or grab at things that don't belong to them. They need to learn all the rules over their life. It is how I know you are all a bunch of babies"

 

"That isn't fair, no one goes into a game knowing all the rules!"

 

"I know, but life isn't fair sweetie" Mother applied the last tape and made sure the diaper was a snug fit. She then pressed her hand to it and rubbed at it. "My my, this diaper is pretty thick, I can't tell if we have a baby boy with us or a baby girl, can you Sherry?" Mother teased. Sherry also placed her hand on the diaper to feel.

 

"It really is hard to tell, but there are some clues Mommy, the color of the diaper tends to help. There are these blocks and I think these blocks spelled something!"

 

"Baby Girl" Mother read, "the diaper is pink with all these laces, she must be a girl"

 

"Screw you both! I am a boy!"

 

"How can you tell?" Mother asked.

 

"What? You saw my dick!" Both women made an obvious glance at his crotch both with the same coy smile on their face.

 

"Just a cute pink diaper sweetie"

 

"You know that is not what I meant! I am a boy!"

 

"I know, sweetie, you are not arguing that you are not a baby though and if I dress the baby boy up like a baby girl, how is anyone going to know you are a boy?"

 

"I will tell them I am," Matt growled.

 

"At least then everyone knows you are a sissy!" Mother's smile growing wider

 

"I will tell them that is a mistake!"

 

"Everyone knows Mommy doesn't make a mistake, because Mommy knows best!" Mother unstrapped Matt from the changing table. Once again he was back at kicking and punching. "So much energy we need to get some of that out", she said. Even though he did his best to fight, unlike Sherry Mother was an expert in fending him off. Mother was able to move an arm this way and shift him back another, making all his kicks and punches a small act of flailing. At one moment he was able to sink his teeth into her arm. He bit as hard as he could and could feel his teeth sinking into her flesh. Mother shifted him and he felt the flesh and sinew tear away from muscle and bone. He gave a yell of victory but when he tried to spit it out he felt the flesh quickly fill his mouth. It was now rubbery, what part was out of his mouth covered it and hardened. The more he chewed and tried to spit out the flesh the more it resisted him.

 

"My, my I haven't had a baby bite me like that in some time, naughty girl, we don't bite" Mother chided.

 

"I think she just wanted her paci," Sherry quipped.

 

"Well she has one now" the spot that Matt had bit was perfectly fine only now he had a large pacifier in his mouth as red as Mother's skin, the only thing as proof he had torn some flesh from her.

 

Matt was placed into a bouncer and left to bounce and suckle. There were some toys around him that could keep his hands busy as he bounced.

 

"We are going to let you get that energy out baby girl, and maybe a little something else" Mother grinned. "Sherry keep an eye on her, I need to check the other children" Mother walked out of the room leaving Matt alone with Sherry.

 

"Oh I am so excited for you!" Sherry said getting a seat for herself and grabbing a toy to "play" with Matt. "I can't wait for you to come to terms with your girly girl side! Oh the fun we'll have playing tea parties and princesses" she gave a content sigh. Matt looked around the room trying to find some way to escape. There was of course the tunnel he came in on, the door that led out into the hall and a second tunnel near a large doll house. He doubt he could get far against Sherry's taller figure, plus the thick diaper making him waddle. The slide might wind up in another crib, he would just need to prepare for that. He just needed to get out of the bouncer.

 

"Can…can I play with the dollhouse?" He asked, doing his best to sound shy. Sherry looked over at the large dollhouse and her face lit up with joy.

 

"Yes! Let's go and play dollhouse, oh Mommy knew you would be a good little girl, look at you coming out of that little boy shell" she said and picked Matt up. She set him down by the doll house and to his expectations it was filled with various dolls. He began to pick them up one after the other.

 

"I am Ms. Bartleby, welcome to the neighborhood!" Sherry said after picking up a doll of her own and using it to play.

 

"I want that one!" Matt demanded holding out his hand wide and making grabbing motions, like little kids do when they want something.

 

"You need to share cutie pie, it is what good babies do"

 

"Share…" Matt contemplated looking at the small bundle of toys in his arm. He had been picking out the hardest ones, he really only needed one doll for his plan to work, but more was better. "Like this?" He asked and then hurled the small bundle of toys at Sherry's head. She was taken aback for a moment, the toys smacking her head. Matt rushed for the slide clambering in while Sherry pieced together what was happening. By the time she turned to catch him he was in the tunnel and sliding down.

 

At the end of the slide he landed onto some grass. To his surprise he was outside. Yet it was different from the playground he had seen. Matt double checked he wasn't being followed. His escape worked…but he needed to get his bearings, check for weapons or something to use, then go find everyone. Matt went to remove the diaper he found that instead of that he was wearing a pair of white panties with a pink little bow. He tugged those off but as they left his hips and landed on the ground for him to step out of it felt like someone was watching him or rather several people watching him. They waited for him to step out of those girly undies to truly be bare and vulnerable. 

 

"Not an adult" they murmured. 

"Can't even dress themselves" 

"Poor thing must be cold"

"See they don't want big kid undies, they must still want diapers"

 

Matt grabbed the panties and yanked them back up immediately the voices stopped and the feeling of being watched was gone.

 

"Oh fuck you!" Matt called out to them and began to walk holding up both middle fingers toward wherever the voices came from until he was far from where he heard them.

 

First things first then…find some clothes.
