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.

Chapter 23: The Deal

 

Kylie awoke, a soft bushy tail of Checkers in her face, his belly supporting her head. The plush mattress of her crib and warm jammies kept her comfortable. Her thick diaper squished wetly against her and last of all the hateful eyes of Lilly bearing down on her. She didn't need to look, it was hard to enjoy the infantile comforts while feeling that hateful gaze upon her. Kylie began to cry knowing her best friend now hated her.

 

"Mommy is here, sweety" Alex said and plucked Kylie from her crib. Her diaper was quickly changed and then she was set back into her crib so Alex could get around to Lilly. The two were then taken to a play room and set down on the floor where a sturdy looking plastic fence kept them locked inside with various toys.

 

Lilly moved to play with some dolls doing her best to look annoyed as she played alone.

 

"Oh boy, it has been a long day," Lilly said, making one doll talk. "My feet hurt from standing all day, my back hurts from heavy papers but at least I can come home and relax"

 

"Mommy, mommy I made a huge mess in the kitchen and I am hungry!" Lilly spoke in a slightly higher tone for a different doll.

 

"That's right!" Lilly huffed for the first doll "I have to take care you, I can't relax at all, I have to take care of you"

 

"I get it!" Kylie yelled. Lilly paused in her play but didn't move. "I am a bad friend, I didn't help around the house like I should have, I made more mess, after you cleaned up. I had you take care of me, I am sorry!" Kylie said. "You forget I had a job as well"

 

"No you didn't, you just needed to make coffee and stand around" Lilly grumbled.

 

"Do you know what customer service is even like? Last I remember college let you get right into a cozy desk job. I get screamed at daily by entitled people, I have to smile and take it all in, all the while never getting to sit down while my boss eye fucks me." Kylie told her.

 

"Wow no surprise, Kylie has it harder than everyone" Lilly spoke sarcastically.

 

"Damn it Lilly, shut up! I wasn't saying that!"

 

"You are implying it though"

 

"What the hell Lilly, why are you being so vindictive?" Lilly stood and turned toward Kylie.

 

"Because I love being in diapers! I want to be a baby. I have ever since I can remember. To me, this place is paradise. I resisted at first but after my first diaper change I knew I never wanted to be potty trained again." As if on cue Kylie could see the wetness indicator on Lilly's diaper change color. 

 

"Why?"

 

"I told you, long ago, I never had a childhood. Hell I barely had a babyhood, I wouldn't doubt the second I was born my parents were trying to potty train me so they could put me to work to have the best daughter"

 

"Lilly please, I just want us to go back to our normal adult life, and I promise I'll do better. After this I don't want to be so childish"

 

"HA! Your promises mean nothing! How many times did you promise to study, to clean your room, to help around the apartment? I have heard you promise so many times and in the end you needed me to take care of you"

 

"What can I do then?"

 

"What?" Lilly crossed her arms. Even when dressed like a baby and in a wet diaper she still somehow evoked stern maturedness.

 

"What can I do to get you to trust me again? To be my friend?"

 

Lilly stood there a moment and pondered it. “I'll think about it”, Lilly sat down and began to play with the dolls. She didn't tease and taunt Kylie anymore. Kylie sat there watching her, her most mature friend looking like nothing more than a toddler. After a time a sitter came into the room and carried the girls toward the dining room for lunch. They were fed, burped and carried to another room for a diaper change and a nap. All the while Kylie pondered how she could make it all up to Lilly. She thought about how Alex had power, how she could manipulate the minds of her children to regress, maybe she did something similar to Lilly? If she could get her out of this world maybe she would go back to normal.

 

After their nap Kylie and Lilly were once again in a play room. Kylie watched Lilly play before she stopped and turned to Kylie.

 

"I have it figured out," Lilly said. Kylie waited with baited breath. "I have a deal for you, one that will let me regain your trust, let me forgive you and that will make us the bestest of friends ever" Lilly said.

 

"Yes? I'll do anything!" Kylie pleaded.

 

"You and I, Drink Mommy's Milk together, we let her breastfeed us" Kylie's eyes widened as far as they could go and her mouth opened slightly.

 

"But…but that will…"

 

"Erase all the bad debt between us. If we were back in the normal world and none of this happened to us, yet we were having this conversation…I would ask you to be my Mommy, for a whole year"

 

"What?"

 

"An entire year where I can just lay around the house and do nothing, while you cleaned it and took care of me, Be my Mommy, I would be in heaven, if that was the case, and get Josh to be my Daddy as well" Lilly shivered in delight at the thought.

 

"We…we can do that Lilly we just first need to get out of here"

 

"No!" Lilly said coldly. "I can't trust you, you don't keep promises, but there is a way to forgive all that and better yet, we can be sisters, we just need Mommy to breastfeed us, deal?" Lilly held out her hand. Kylie hesitated. "It is either this, or I will make it so Mommy never lets me see you again and our friendship is over" Kylie's hand shot out but stopped just short of taking Lilly's hand. The very thought of losing Lilly as a friend made her unconsciously want to accept. Now conscious in her action she thought of it again, throwing away everything just to get her friend back. Kylie took her hand.

 

"Deal" Kylie murmured.

 

"You can honor this deal then by telling Mommy"

 

"What?" Kylie asked but it was too late.

 

"MOOOMEEEEE!" Lilly cried, pink and blue flames swirled to life creating a large bonfire from which out stepped Alex.

 

"Lilly girl, what's the matter?"

 

"Kywee has somfin to shay" Lilly said her cry having nearly got her actually crying.

 

"Oh? What is it Kylie?" Alex asked, smiling. More of a smirk Kyke thought as if Alex knew how this was going to go.

 

"Um…" Kylie stammered. "Lilly…and I made a deal to uh be friends again and…" Against her will she didn't want to say it but she did for her friend. "We want to be breastfed, Mommy," she finally said. Alex's smile faded and looked at the two girls for a moment.

 

"Are you sure baby?" She asked and made sure to look each in the eyes.

 

"Yes," Kylie said and Lilly nodded.

 

"Ok…if that is your wish" Alex said and picked both girls up. They were carried to a nursery. The room was dim, and mother settled into a rocking chair, both girls on her lap. Lilly watched with great excitement as Alex undid her blouse and unhooked her bra to expose her leaky breasts.

 

"I'm ready…" Lilly said, eyes unblinking from her desired want. "But Kylie needs to start first!" She said breaking eye contact from the drug she longed for.

 

"Kylie" Alex spoke in a motherly tone and her hand cradled the back of Kylie's head gently bringing her closer toward the nipple where she could see milk was flowing. Her lips would wrap around it and she would pull milk into her mouth where she would not be able to stop until she was regressed completely into an infant her previous life erased, she wouldn't remember Lilly but that was temporary, Josh would be forgotten and Matt would no longer be her boyfriend. Gone would be her days enjoying candy until she was older. Laying around the beach in a skimpy bikini while men gazed at her near nakedness, all the while Matt protecting her and making them envious. No more shopping trips to try out the newest and hottest style, at least for a while, it would be cute and pretty instead. It was all just put on delay for a few years…though knowing mother and this land that could be longer and she would forget it all.

 

"NO!" Kylie screamed and shoved her hand upon Alex's breast to prevent the nipple from entering her mouth. The sudden attack startled Alex and Lilly, Kylie stumbled from her spot on Alex's lap to the ground.

 

"Kylie are you ok oh baby!" Alex asked out of genuine concern, standing up to check on her.

 

 "I can't do it! It is my life damnit!" Kylie ran for the door.

 

"Kylie get back here" Alex demanded. Having been betrayed Lilly began to make a fuss, crying and thrashing and crying even more. "Lilly shh, it's alright" Alex cooed between trying to soothe Lilly. For her it was another rodeo one she had been a part of many times before. Yet Kylie was out the door and running. Not for another door but one of the slide tunnels. She dove into one and hoped Alex would have a hard time going after her. By the time Alex had Lilly in the crook of her arm and her breasts covered and reached the door Kylie was gone. With only a blubbering Lilly in her arms.

 

"Shh, Lilly it's ok, here you

are" Alex produced a baba for Lilly and fed her. "When Mommy catches her, we can breastfeed then”.

[Vimboof]

Sorry for the lengthy delay, to anyone who've been waiting. A lot of life distractions good and bad and such. I'll try and the next chapters out on better time frame than months away.

[Vimboof]

Hello once again to apologize for the delay, but in this delays comes news, good news! When I post the next chapter, Chapter 24. It will not be alone, instead imma post all the others 25-33. So the next time I post a chapter it may be the last one for this story.

I say "may be the last one" as I think over how I have written some of the last chapter and not fully happy with how I am ending things, sooooo...might add more.

I will not promise that, and I will let you know if "Eleven Stars Daycare" will be ending with 33 chapters.

Why the delay? You may ask, when I said I would do better? Simply, work, family matters and I am lazy. Plus I have a vacation coming up so have been trying to get that around.

So please be patient, I am slowly working on it!

I always liked the idea of wine/alcohol in bottles and sippy cups for adults

If you get to Paris have dinner at this quirky fondue place, they have two types of wine, red or white and both come in a baby bottle, not a glass in sight. The atmosphere is fun and hilarious. https://francoisetmoi.com/food/le-refuge-des-fondues/

I doubt I will ever leave the country (USA), purely because of financial reasons. 

That does sound interesting and I will keep it in my notes, for if ever I get the chance.

will there be more of this story?

Chapter 24: Matt's Fight

 

Matt had been walking for a while. The panties he wore chaffed him. All the while there were no signs of other kids or playground equipment. He looked back to the castle to check on his progress. The castle was far off on the horizon, Matt had traveled what seemed like miles in the short time he had been walking.

 

Naptime was approaching as the bright happy sun began to fade into a sleepy moon. Cribs began to appear dotting the landscape. As they did when nap time approached, giving children a place to sleep. With no babysitter around however, no one could force him into them. He gave a big yawn. It had been sometime since he had a nap, the constant switching of bright light to dim light messed with his head. How long had they been in this infantile hell? Matt decided maybe it would be a good time to sleep, with no one around they couldn't trap him in them. He approached one crib. It was white with tall corner posts that had bright pink canvas around it. The blankets inside were white with unicorns and princesses for a pattern. He ignored this one and found a different crib. This one was pink, large colorful blocks with the words "Baby Girl" on the head board.

 

"Fuck that…" he said. Another Crib was white with rainbows, another was purple with fairies. The more he looked for a crib more suited to his gender the girlier they seemed to get. Matt yawned again and began to climb into a crib. He shook his head to wake up and pushed himself out of the crib. He only fell back upon another, nearly falling into that one.

 

"Damn it!" He cursed once again trying to get out of the crib before he was fully in, yet he only seemed to stumble into another crib. As he regained his footing he noticed something. The cribs were gathered much closer than before. He turned around, finding there were more cribs than before. He turned the other way and the cribs were closer. Were…were they moving? He began to move around them and when he turned he found they had bunched up like a wall behind.

 

"Oh fuck you! Don't act like mannequins" he yelled at them, giving them the bird. A classic horror game trope to make inanimate objects, mainly mannequins, move while the player isn't looking. Matt had spent so much time cursing the one group he turned to find the cribs had formed a semi-circle behind him. Only for the previous group to complete the circle. He was trapped. The wolves had surrounded him and there was nothing he could do…

 

So he sat down.

 

"I don't have to pick, the ground is soft enough," he told them. He laid down using his hands to comfort his head and crossed one leg over the other as he got comfortable. He closed his eyes and began to hear wood on metal creak in frustration at his refusal to lay in a crib. The creaking began to grow rhythmic. All the cribs, now chanting around him. It was almost deafening, if this place didn't care about the children that was. Matt opened his eyes as the ground began to shake. He tried to stand but the rumbling kept from getting up. Small columns shot from the ground surrounding him. Bars appeared between each column forming a fence around him. They closed in on him surrounding him perfectly with enough room to move around but not letting him really go anywhere. The ground began to soften and he began to rise as a new crib rose from the ground right beneath him.

 

This one was like all the other cribs combined. White bars with rainbow trim, light purple head and foot boards decorated with princess themes and blocky letters declaring who slept in this crib. Blankets with fairies and unicorns frolicking across fields of flowers. Around him was the aroma of lilacs, roses and lavender. Above him was a mobile of ponies and fluffy clouds softly plinking a lullaby. To his horror he felt exhausted he wanted to escape but he could barely fight the sleep that was quickly taking him. He soon fell to darkness surrounded by sweet girly perfection.

 

Matt began to rouse from his slumber around him; he could hear murmurs and whispers. He opened one eye to check and saw the faces of several little girls around him.

 

"She's waking up!" One of them said, "Hello!" She waved and Matt glared at her. "My name's Penelope, what's yours?" She asked.

 

"Matt, can you get me out of here?" he said, fully roused from slumber and ready to tear down the crib bars.

 

"They will go down on their own, or I can get your Mommy or a daycare lady" Penelope said.

 

"Hell no I don't want…what did you say?" He asked. If he had heard her right it was his Mommy, not defined as theirs, and also a daycare lady not a babysitter.

 

"They go down on their own or I can get your Mommy, unless you just need a daycare lady"

 

"See that!" Matt said. "Why are you saying it is my…" he took a sharp inhale "...my Mommy and not our mommy" 

 

"Cause I already have a Mommy, and Mother isn't my Mommy, even though Mommy tells me to call her Mommy, she really isn't my Mommy, but Mommy says she doesn't like that and if I were to say that to her I wouldn't be able to see Mommy anymore, but she isn't here, so it's ok." Matt was grinding his teeth by the end of the girl's blabbering.

 

"Look I don't need her, I need to get out of this place."

 

"Mommy says the kids like you are the ones who need your mommy more and that I should go get her, so I'll do that!" the girl and began to skip away.

 

"Wait! Help me out and I'll buy you whatever you want from the toy store and a mountain of candy!" Matt said he knew he would need to buy two mountains of candy after this one for this girl and one for Kylie when they got out. The girl stopped and looked back tapping one finger on her chin and squinting at him.

 

"Two toys," she declared.

 

"Deal!"

 

"No Three!"

 

"Fine whatever just get me out of here!" The girl skipped over to a block and pulled it over to a crib she stepped up undid a latch and stepped down slowly lowering the crib bars. Matt jumped out and smiled.

 

"Toys please!" The girl said hand outstretched.

 

"After we get out of here" Matt said.

 

"You are out!" Penelope said.

 

"I meant out of the Daycare"

 

"Nuh-uh, you said out of the crib"

 

"I meant the daycare you little shit!" Matt said getting irritated, taking the girl by surprise. He knew he messed up then, but the girl didn't cry; she only glared at him and huffed.

 

"Daycare lady! She said a bad word! Daycare lady!" Matt began to run, he wasn't sure where to go. The forest was his best bet however, he was on an entirely different side of the castle getting back to the abandoned HQ was out of the question. There was also the chance to stumble upon the Boogeyman and he didn't like the odds. As he ran he settled on to head back to the castle, maybe he could regroup with Josh and Paul and rescue Kylie and Lilly as well.

 

He only got so far before he was snatched up out of the air. He struggled for a bit but the arms wrestling him were strong and eventually had him subdued. Before he could say a word a pacifier was forced into his mouth.

 

"Do Not spit that out, you are in big trouble young lady!" The babysitter said. Next to her was the girl grinning in glee. 

 

"She lied to me!" Penelope cried "she said she would play with me if I let her out of the crib"

 

"Lying is wrong, do you understand?" Scolded the babysitter. "You go right over to little Penelope and you hug her and say you're sorry" Matt stood his ground and crossed his arms as he glared up at the babysitter. He yanked the pacifier out of his mouth and threw it at the babysitter.

 

"One I am not keeping that in my mouth, Two I want to make it clear I am a guy, and Three I said I wanted out of the Daycare not just the crib, so she is lying," He said.

 

"Well I see we are not wanting to be a big girl about this" The sitter said and reached to grab Matt. He fought back, after all he wasn't going to simply go down without a fight. He punched, ducked and weaved. It was all pointless, in his life he was always the bigger man. He was tall when he was a kid, built up muscles in highschool for sports and kept them maintained in college for football. He was always a big guy and now that it came to fighting someone bigger than him. He wasn't really sure how to fight back, besides simply attacking. He didn't pay attention to lessons of taking on someone bigger than him since it was rare to find someone that was. Here he was now so small against a woman much taller than him and much stronger once her hand had latched down on his arm.

 

Matt played ragdoll and did his best to get free of her grasp. All she did was pick him up and held his arms and legs together in a princess carry.

 

"What's going on here, you look like you are having trouble" a new voice said, and by all of Hell was it new.

 

"Oh hi Dan, this little girl is just bratty and not playing fair." The sitter said. Matt looked at the man. He wore jeans and a black shirt with the logo for Baby Metal on it, it was a bit tight on him. He had shoulder length hair that was a mix of silver and blonde. He was scrawny but toned if his forearms and the muscles under his shirt said anything.

 

"Hey, let me take care of her, I can set her straight," Dan said. Matt was handed off to him. The switch from thin soft arms to large tough ones felt odd. It was more welcoming somehow. Matt was set on his feet and the second Dan let go Matt ran. All of sudden though he came to a dead stop and felt himself pulled backwards. "Woah got a runner!" Dan laughed. Matt looked back at him seeing he held onto a blue leash that stretched down and toward Matt's back. Dan began to walk, leading Matt away from the sitter and Penelope. While Matt did try and get away the leash kept him close to Matt and leading wherever the man wanted to go.

 

"Alright Princess what seems to be the problem?" Dan asked.

 

"Fuck you, I am a guy!" Matt said. Matt wanted to punch him and did…hitting him right in the kidney, but it was like punching a tree.

 

"Yeah what makes you think that?" Dan asked, ignoring that he was punched.

 

"Look at me!" And Dan did. "What about this says I'm a girl!"

 

"Well you have cute undies on" Dan said.

 

"I don't have a choice! I am forced to wear these"

 

"No you're not princess" Dan said and knelt down to be eye level with Matt. He tapped a knuckle on the ground and a dresser appeared. Dan opened it and pointed. "Pick one you like" Matt looked in the dresser. There were different pattern clothes inside, some were like he was wearing, cute, pink and frilly, others were plain and some had designs of cars, planes, and transformers. Matt grabbed a plain white pair that were close to the big stuff but they were regular girl undies. He then grabbed the transformers undies. Looking at them he didn't find the flap that was meant for boys.

 

"The hell are these?" Matt asked.

 

"Undies for girls but cool, instead of cute" Dan said. Having picked them out Dan helped Matt out of his current panties and into the others. Matt let it happen he felt small and vulnerable as soon as Dan began to undress and redress him.

 

"You saw it right? How I got a dick. I'm a guy!"

 

"I wasn't paying attention, princess. Let's get you some real clothes" Dan opened another drawer and picked out some shirts and a shirt for Matt. Matt was dressed and besides one small detail he only knew of from seeing, he felt he was dressed normally for a boy. "There you feel better princess?" Dan asked.

 

"I am not a princess!" Matt snapped.

 

"It's ok to like boy things and still be a princess," Dan said. "Nothing is inherently for boys or girls except maybe your undies and a lot of other things when you get older, but you don't need to worry about that right now"

 

"I don't fucking care, I got a dick, so I'm a guy" Matt growled. Dan put a strong hand on Matt's shoulder.

 

"It's ok, life is growing and changing all the time and these days boys are wanting to be girls and girls are wanting to be boys, just because you were born one way doesn't mean you need to settle on that, you can still like boy things and be a princess"

 

"I want to be a guy! I want to go back to my adult life!" Matt said and Dan just chuckled.

 

"I am just trying to help you adjust, mom wants you to be a girl so that is what she is getting. Whether you want to be a boyish sissy girl or a girly one is up to you, until mom or one of us gets fed up with giving you the choice."

 

There it was, the truth finally spoken by someone. Matt glared daggers at Dan.

 

"So what will it be? Are you going to fall in line? If you do, I will make sure you stay as close to being a boy as I am allowed, or you can continue to fight and wind up as a girly girl, with your junk as the only reminder you were ever a guy, until you beg to have it removed" Dan said.

 

"You know, if I was back to my old self, I would kick your ass" Dan chuckled at that.

 

"Are you sure about that?" He grinned. Matt looked away and sulked a bit.

 

"We will never know at this point," Matt said.

 

"I can take that sort of bet, how about it?" Dan asked and held out his hand. If such a thing was possible what did Matt have to lose, one way or another the worst outcome was either now or later, and he was confident he could best this guy. Matt reached out and grabbed Dan's hand. It was only after he should have known there would be a catch.

 

There was a flash of light and Matt stood in a ring of stone surrounded by blackness. There was Dan on one side of the ring with Matt on the other. Matt looked down at himself and saw he was himself again, tall, big and built. He clentched his fists and flexed his muscles feeling them tight against the fabric of clothes he wore.

 

"Damn, you're a big guy!" Dan said. "I might actually be worried" though he didn't sound like he was. "Game is simple, Maddie, You, Me, a duel for your adulthood and masculinity."

 

"Perfect" Matt said, punching his fist into his hand and began to charge. He only got two steps in before Dan stopped him.

 

"Ah, ah, ah! Here is the thing, we go best of five rounds. If I win a round I am going to change a part of you, you want to get out of here just as you are now, you will need a perfect win streak, cause if I win, you are going to be a good baby girl. And just so you don't throw a tantrum IF you win, I don't have enough power to keep you grown up or regressed, you have an hour at most to stay big before you return tk how Mom had you. An hour for me to get you to her to keep the changes permanent.

 

"Fine…but I only need one round to knock your ass out!" Matt charged using all his training as a quarterback to slam into Dan. Dan met him but was quickly overpowered.  Matt made sure his arm was lined up with Dan's throat as he tackled him. The two fell to the ground, as they hit the ground Matt reared his fist back and brought it down like the hammer of Hephaestus or Thor smiting his foe with great fury and power. He wasn't going to go the full five rounds; he only needed one. Matt got up only so he could wrap his meaty hand around Dan's throat, he willed all his muscles to bring his fist back and launch it back into Dan's face. Faster he needed to be like a jackhammer to tear up Dan's face, to become the meteorite that created the moon. Mash and pound Dan's face to pieces, to paste, to nothing. Blood splattered as Matt continued to beat him field but all the race bottled up in his time in this infantile hell…

 

…Matt stood in a ring of stone surrounded by blackness. There was Dan on one end of the arena with Matt on the other.

 

"Ho! Fuck that was brutal!" Dan said running his jaw and face from the shock of having his face pounded in. "Mom did say never to underestimate mortals…damn she was right…wow, you actually killed me there"

 

"Yeah? Then why aren't you dead?" Matt readied his fists. Dan grinned.

 

"Cause the rule was first to five, in this place rules are to be respected, sure you can kill me and I can kill you but if we can't reach five cause one of us is dead, it turns back the clock" Dan said. Suddenly a burst of red fire came from the darkness and began to circle around the arena. "But it remembers who was the victor so the point is yours" Dan said.

 

"Then get ready to feel that face flatten four more times!" Matt charged again. Dan had a cocky smirk on his face. As the two came close to contact Dan moved. He moved low and stretched out his leg to trip Matt. Matt tripped but he had this happen a few times before in his games. Matt threw his head back shifting his weight backwards. He stumbled a bit in his feet but only a couple steps before he was stable on his feet. Then the world erupted in a flash of white and pain.

 

Dan had gotten to his feet before Matt and quickly moved to deliver a kick to Matt's spine. The big man collapsed to the ground. Dan was on him in a second wrapping his arm around his neck, hand on chin and the other on top of his head.

 

"First we need to get rid of those muscles big man, get ready for your losing streak princess" Dan said. Matt heard a crack, then felt excruciating pain from the sound of flesh tearing away from meat then…

 

…Matt stood in a ring of stone surrounded by blackness. There was Dan on one end of the arena with Matt on the other. One red fireball circled the arena as well as one blue. Matt spat in disgust the fight only lasted a few seconds and he lost. Matt looked at himself. His muscles were gone he was scrawny as if he never worked out in his life but kept fit by other means.

 

"The fuck you do to me?!" Matt screamed, even though his voice wasn't as strong anymore, not as low but still deep not as loud either.

 

"I took away some of your masculinity, you are still a boy but a lot softer now…don't worry, this round I'll make you see what it was like for me that first time" Dan said and he charged. Matt braced himself ready to take the brunt of another Quarterback's tackle. As the two hit Matt was thrown backwards, he felt like he just got hit by a truck. The wind knocked out of him his throat crushed from Dan's arm. Dan was above him fist already locked back to deliver the first blow. Matt whimpered if Dan was going to do the same thing that Matt did…he remembered the anger he felt and how he willed his muscles to move. The first came down. There was pain then…

 

…Matt stood in a ring of stone.

 

"Fuck…" came an airy high voice. Matt gripped at his throat and tried to clear it with a few breathy coughs. As he hacked and coughed all he heard was the breathy wisp of some soft spoken woman.

 

"Gotta say you are pretty cute this way, Princess" Dan said. With a snap of his finger a mirror appeared in front of Matt.

 

It looked like a mirror but inside it was some frail dainty woman. Curly brown hair fell on either side of her face. She had modest breasts and a well toned figure but was dressed just like Matt. As Matt moved, so did she. She acted exactly when he did.

 

"That's you, princess, no tricks" Dan called.

 

"Oh go fuck yourself!" Matt said in a breathy voice yelling out what he said.

 

"If you want to go by Yourself, I would gladly…but I gotta wait for Mom's permission…tell ya what when you grow up I'll take you out on a date" Dan grinned.

 

Matt got himself ready, tiny hands balled into tight fists. He charged but he felt faster and more agile, there was no power or weight as he charged. He doubted this would do anything if he struck Dan. Dan could just dodge it, if he wanted. Before Matt realized he crashed into Dan but the man didn't budge. Instead Matt was the one falling backwards. As he realized this he braced to land on his ass. Instead he felt arms wrap around him. Stop him from crashing to the ground. Matt saw he was now in the arms of Dan who smiled kindly down at him.

 

"Don't worry I am not going to fight you, I don't like hurting girls"

 

"Then I win!" Matt declared. "You won't fight me so I will just kill you!" The airy voice cried.

 

"You can, but I am going to win a different way"

 

"How's that?" Matt asked ready to clibber the man when he felt Dan lowered his guard.

 

"I am going to kiss you," Dan said. Matt's eyes went wide at the proclamation. Before he knew what was happening he felt soft lips press against his forehead. Matt felt anger and rage fill his face. He burned red as adrenaline began to fill him. Yet it felt off. He was hot as if rage filled him, but he wasn't angry, not entirely. He felt a wave of emotions he wanted to hide away in an ocean of blankets, he wanted to beat up Dan for his transgressions. He assumed he felt a kind of joy, like when Kylie was given a king size candy bar or large ice cream cone. He was…blushing? He was Blushing!

 

After the kiss as Matt looked up at Dan he was much much smaller, his feet just barely hung past his legs. Dan's arm wrapped around him and supported his back. If Matt wanted he could curl up in Dan's lap and rest comfortably in his arms. Confused Matt looked at Dan. In the ring of stone there were four blue flames and only red one, Matt knew he was playing a game and he was losing but what exactly the game was he couldn't recall.

 

"Sorry princess," Dan said. "Big bro, had to take quite a bit to satisfy Mom and the five win condition" Dan said.

 

"I…I won't lose!" Matt cried his voice so squeaky from his new young age. "Um…how do I win?" He asked big brother Dan was good at games he had the advantage of being bigger-er and smater-er.

 

"Easy princess, don't let me change your diaper" Dan smiled.

 

"But I'm a big…girl?" Matt asked he didn't think that was right. "I don't need diapees." He said.

 

"Mom said you needed them, but again You just need to not let me change your diaper, so getting out into one won't make you lose" Dan said. He picked up Matt who clung to him. Dan was a good big brother after all, he thought. Dan was nice. Matt soon felt Dan gently lay Matt down on a soft pad. Dan stripped Matt of his clothes and watched as he produced a pink diaper and lifted Matt's legs before lowering them and dusting his crotch with powder. Matt looked down and thought something was wrong with his crotch, something was missing, he concluded as the diaper was pulled over and taped tightly to him, that Dan was right and Mommy was right. He needed his diaper. Matt smiled and it wasn't long that after he was properly padded he felt it begin to warm as he began to pee.

 

"So princess…looks like you need your diapers, big bro is gonna change you and we will go see Mom, ok?" Dan said.

 

"Ok!" Matt agreed and waited as his big brother changed his diaper.

 

The fifth blue flame sprouted. While Matt clung to his brother as he was carried across the field. He knew deep down his name was Maddie and she was a good baby.

 

"Brodder?" Maddie asked trying to talk with the pacifier in her mouth. "Can I shtay wish you?"

 

"Don't worry, I'll make sure Mom let's me watch over you, I am sorry, my little trick isn't like Mom's you'll realize what has happened but I promise I will take good care of you, noatter what" Dan said patting the back of someone who will become his little sister, maybe Mom could overlook the two of them dating, if she let Maddie grow up. No matter the decision he was at least determined to keep Maddie in his care. He promised after all.

 

Chapter 25: The Escape

 

The halls twisted and turned there was no rhyme or reason at least if you didn't think like a child. Colors shapes and just pure imagination led Kylie through a maze of complex stairs, slides and halls. The problem she realized was that she was trying to reach Josh and Matt who were obviously in two different locations. Lilly was with Alex, she didn't want to go there…Matt was alone somewhere pink, but he was a tough guy, she knew he could handle whatever was thrown at him and Josh. Josh was with Paul, while Paul was a stranger to her, she trusted Josh in his judgment. Kylie threatened to pull out her hair. How was she to save her friends when they were everywhere. Kylie screamed in frustration.

 

Carthism sometimes was a nice thing. Her head clear and feeling a touch more relaxed she could think. Lilly was in the arms of the demon, dangled like a piece of meat. Matt was a strong, powerful, handsome and sexy brute of a man who would kill the freaks here. Josh was with someone and it was why Josh was the best option, if he knew one person that person would know of someone and that would expand in some mathematical way she didn't understand…She wished she paid a bit more attention to what Lilly taught her.

 

Kykie ran through the halls and stairways of the castle. She felt herself go up and down the same stairwell but as for what she felt it was the right path. Kylie shoved open a set of doors and saw two little boys in a playpen. One had a car and was trying to crash it into the dinosaur that the other boy had.

 

"Josh!" Kylie called running up to the playpen. Both boys looked like toddlers not even prepared to think about using the potty.

 

"Kylie!" Both yelled and ran to the netting of the playpen. Kylie gave a sigh of relief the two didn't seem like they were lost.

 

"You two ok?" She asked.

 

"My diaper could use a change," Paul said.

 

"I could go for a juice box," Josh added. The two at that moment seemed dazed. Kylie clapped her hands to grab their attention.

 

"Focus!" She yelled. "What has gotten into you two?" She asked. Both boys lowered their heads.

 

"It was a devastating blow to the Naughty Kids. We tried to say Mother's name" Josh explained. "If she wants Kylie, she can just snap her finger and bam we babies…she leaves us like this cause it is fun for her…" Kylie looked to Paul.

 

"Paul, I am so sorry," Kylie said. "Look I think I have an idea on how to get out of here but I need to get a stick again, can you help me" Josh looked over at Paul.

 

"We get sticks, we can fight back" Josh said. Paul shook his head.

 

"We lost last time, remember?" Paul said.

 

"She ambushed us last time, and her army of doppelgangers are dwindling, I have been seeing kids without her throughout this castle. I don't think she can have that many"

 

"That's not good enough!" Paul yelled "you think she can't have that many? She is an all powerful demon and this is her domain…the fact she doesn't dote on every child is because they don't need her, a babysitter will do until then, you think you have all the answers but I have been here way longer than you and it took an army just to survive, what can you do against that monster, just a wave of her hand and walls crumble at the command…" Paul said.

 

Kylie took a deep breath, she closed her eyes and focused…like riding a bike except it was a motorcycle, or something like that. Kylie clenched her fist tight, she opened her eyes and held out her palm waving it across the mesh of the playpen, it burned quickly and turned to ash. Josh jumped back as the two boys watched the wall crumble before Kylie.

 

"Holy ship!" the two boys gasped.

 

"She isn't the only one who can do that stuff, but I need help, I need a staff or wand, and most of all…I need a book…we are taking our friends, we are getting our adult bodies back and we are going home!" The two boys looked at each other and nodded.

 

"We don't have much time…but I think I know a good way out," Paul said.

 

The three waddled through the halls, their butts crinkling all the way. A left turn, a right, up one set of stairs and back down. Now and then they would look to see the main hall and the large door that led outside. Paul made one final turn and came upon a room. It was filled with blocks and empty. He grabbed some blocks and stacked them in a peculiar way. It made no sense at all but he made sure letters such as N, E, S and W faced a certain direction.

 

"We wait now and hope that…" a panel in the wall opened up and out came three kids wearing ninja costumes.

 

"Lucky you…we were just checking this room" one kid said. Paul and Josh stood at attention and saluted.

 

"Blue Sock reporting sir" Paul said.

 

"Blue Sock? Shit sitters finally got you?" The kid asked.

 

"Mother actually…" Paul lowered his head.

 

“During the Homecoming…Bad luck…these two are Josh and Kylie right?…Nursery is in a whole uproar over you and your friends, You especially" he pointed at Kylie. "The buzz is you are something very special…and I take it we are extracting our special girl?" he asked.

 

"All three of you can, we also need an extraction bike"

 

"Depends…how diaper dependent are you?" All three blushed deeply.

 

"Potty training…" Josh and Paul said. Kylie wanted to say the same but she knew better and if it helped in getting out of the castle then…

 

"I need my diapees…" she said squirming in place. The kid pulled up a walkie talkie that looked to have been colored black with marker and paints.

 

"Will be extracting three, requesting a wagon over" he said. "May need a change as well, over" he added. "let's move"

 

Into the secret passage they went. This was trickier as they needed to climb around the cramped spaces. They simply went down and climbed over various walls before another passage was opened and they entered a small room.

 

"Quickly get changed" the leader said, handing a set of clothes to Josh and Paul.

 

"What about me?" Kylie asked.

 

"You are a liability being diaper dependent, best you stay dressed like that" he said. "Do you need a change?" He asked, gesturing to her diaper.

 

"No!" Kylie pouted but the leader walked over and pressed his hand to her diaper.

 

"You need a change…" he brought up his walkie talkie "update we will need a change, be warned she is a special package over" he said.

 

After the boys changed a new door was opened and they walked outside.

 

Greeting them at the passage was a bike hooked up to a wagon. Several kids were playing around it. As the door opened they all crowded around and pulled the three away from the doorway quickly before it closed behind them. They continued their false play as they helped get the three to the bike. A couple other kids hopped in the wagon and they were quickly rushed away from the castle.

 

Midway through their journey they soon came to a stop.

 

"We are getting the change here" one of them said and the kids piled out grabbing Kylie.

 

"Hey!" Kylie protested at first as she was dragged along toward a group of kids who had a babysitter.

 

"Please don't resist, and do your best to act like a baby" they whispered. "Sitter lady!" One kid spoke as childishly as they could. "Emily here needs a new diapee" they said handing Kylie off to the sitter.

 

"Aww ok, come here baby" the sitter gently hoisted Kylie up and carried Kylie a little ways off. A changing table appeared and Kylie was settled up on it. "Whose a wet baby? Is it you? Yes it is!" The sitter cooed as she undid Kylie's onesie and began to change her diaper. It was a grueling forever of constant baby talk as her diaper was placed on her. After the diaper change she set Kylie down with the kids again. "There you go hope you are playing nice with her, only soft toys"

 

"We are!" The kids said and carried Kylie back to the wagon where they pedaled off.

 

"That was the worst…" Kylie groaned, doing her best to hide her face.

 

"How's Lilly?" Josh had asked after some time had passed. Kylie winced at the question.

 

"She hates me…" she finally said, tears filling her eyes.

 

"She doesn't hate you," Josh said.

 

"She HATES me!" Kylie yelled tears starting to roll down her face. 

 

"Hey, we don't need a crying baby right now, calm her down" one of the kids said.

 

"We can go alone from here if you want to bail!" Paul added and positioned himself ready to take over while the other kid had to jump off, important if you were willing to sacrifice yourself for others to get away, in this case it would be the reverse, kids who bailed would be safe. Not needing much convincing the other kids bailed and Paul took over to cycle.

 

"I do have to say best calm her down or we're in trouble!" Paul said.

 

"Kylie it's ok" Josh said pulling Kylie into a hug and patting her back. "I am sure it is just Mother's magic upon her…we left her alone with her after all and she is just confused…" he said.

 

"No…she hates me, she wants this life Josh…" Kylie finally said. Trying to calm down but she was already sobbing. She focussed on on not crying but the painful memory of lying in the crib with Lilly and how she bailed on their deal only worse Ed her state.

 

"Kylie please…" Josh tried to calm her down in desperation. He grabbed the pacifier clipped to her onesie and stuffed it in her mouth. Kylie suckled on it but still sobbed a bit.

 

"She starts balling, we will need to bail, we can kiss another escape goodbye" Paul said.

 

I'm fwine!" Kylie yelled through her pacifier. She went to remove the pacifier but instead held on and suckled a bit more. Her hand glowed and she popped it out.

 

"Lilly wanted us to be mommy and daddy to her" she finally said.

 

"What?"

 

"She was so stressed about work and the fact she was also taking care of me…she wanted me to be more mature and treat her like a child…have us play mommy and daddy while she got to be a baby…Mother granted her part of that wish anyway…" she said. Josh looked back at the castle.

 

"I knew she was stressed about work, she never mentioned the other stuff…

 

"We're here, brace yourselves!" Paul yelled. They crashed into the bushes and continued onward pedaling. It was only once the brush and trees became too thick for the wagon they stopped.

 

Quickly the three abandoned the bike and found themselves some sticks. Josh gave a test fire on one particular gun look stick, and Paul secured a few good melee styled sticks. Kylie found a branch particularly gnarled and took it up as a staff.

 

"Are we good? Now what do we need?"

 

"If this was anything like a dream, I would just need a book that might help me get the one I really want," Kylie said.

 

"I only know one place for one of those," Paul said looking into the dark forest. "Think you can hold it until then?"

 

"I don't have a choice…" Kylie said blushing.

 

Then there was a small blink of a light in the darkness.

 

"Did you guys see that?" Josh asked. "It was like a-" Then came a flash from the darkness.

 

"Oh no…" they whispered as they all looked into the darkness. There was something else as well, eight glowing red eyes that accompanied the flash…

 

"Oh Fuck…" Paul spoke in terror.

 

Chapter 26: The Monster and The Witch.

 

FLASH

 

The sudden light was like the gunshot to start the race! Many tendrils shot out from the darkness black talons slashed through trees and dug into the dirt dragging with them a massive body with them. The creature with the red eyes revealed itself. First there was a gaping maw of teeth and fangs that were hidden by a set of chelicera. The body revealed was lithe but sported black skeletal wings sprouted from its back, a large abdomen that revealed a large serrated stinger. The many talon arms grabbed in random locations as it scuttled in rapid form behind the giant monster was the silhouette of a man who reached out with long black arms toward the children.

 

As fast as she could Kylie stabbed her staff into the ground and created a wall around the three of them. She focussed hard to make the damn thing sturdy to not be touched by those creatures.

 

The talons clanged against the shield wrapped around it and squeezed. The shield strained against the arms.

 

"No. You. Don't!" Kylie yelled the sensation of armor layered upon her and felt the many tendril arms squeezing around. She focussed harder screaming in her mind to keep the barrier up. Then the many eyed monster pressed his face to the shield, a mixture of spider features with a zombified clown glared down hungrily at her.

 

Kylie felt her diaper starting to warm up out of the fear of things alone.

 

"BAAAGGGH!" The creature yelled in disgust the shield began to crack. Kylie felt Josh and Paul on either side of her grab the staff the armor she felt wrapped around began to grow stronger. The monster focussed his eyes upon the boys now. Drool dripping from his mandibles. It soon stopped gripping the shield so tight. It gazed back down at Kylie.

 

"CuRIOusss" its voice was deep but high pitched with a mixture of insect and rodent chittering. "A bABy of THe SAgeS…" its arms retreated but it continued to scurry around the shield the Boogeyman walked up and simply watched inside its camera flash still going off now and then. "ChIlD oF tHe DeAD FoRgOTteN MaGEs of MOrtaLs, hAS MoTHeR SEnT YoU…or pErHAps LoST?" It asked.

 

It took a moment for Kylie to overcome the fear that gripped her, she wanted to cry for her mommy to run to her bedside and be safe in her arms, it also sickened her that she thought of Alex to be that person. Yet her mind doubled back, what was worse was the horrible monster before her, who seemed to hold a hunger in its eyes…or the fate of eternal babyhood for a demon with an obsessive maternal complex? Kylie took a deep shaky breath and steeled herself.

 

"N-neither and I won't let you take me back to her"

 

"BAAAAGH!!" It clashed a talon against the sphere. "If I WeRe tO hAVe YOu it wOUlD bE TO fEAsT uPOn yOU!" It chittered.  "NooO YoU aRe lIkE uNdEr coOKed pOUltrY. ApPetIziNG, yEt BAD foR THe StOMacH" it spat. The shadowy figure who had been flashing at them approached. Its hands testing the barrier.

 

"That is the Boogeymonster and the Boogeyman. Two of Mother's nemesis." Paul explained.

 

"You are not with Alex then?" Kylie asked.

 

"Pah! WHaT wE HaVE is A PaRAsItIC reLaTIOnshIP. SHE, HE pUlLs lITTle BoYs LittLE gIrLS tO tHEir EarLIeR YeARs WhERe I maY fEAsT uPoN tHem. SOmeTImEs toO FaR…suCH as YOU…" it growled. "HoWeVEr sHE dEteSTs tHIs aND pREvEnts mE FRoM My FEastS WHeN sHe he cAn" 

 

"Then maybe you can help us," Kylie said. She didn't like the idea, but if she could have just one ally that was a powerful demonic entity then she would risk the consequences, all just to get out of here and be an adult again.

 

"NO!" The creature snapped. "thERE is NoTHinG yOU can OfFeR THaT I CaNNot alREadY HaVe"

 

"Stopping Alex? You can then eat all the children you want!" Kylie nearly puked as she said it.

 

"ParASiTic reLaTIOnshIP! liTTle boY liTTle GiRl. BY sTOppInG mY MoRTal eNEmY, my FooD STOps flOwINg. As I SaiD yOU CaN't ofFFer me a THinG"

 

There was a scratching from beneath Kylie's feet. The Boogeymonster was trying to get at them from below. The shield that fully also covered the ground. Though their chances of leaving alive were slim.

 

"Kylie, any chance you can make a really bright light?" Paul whispered. "This is the Boogeymonster after all…what gets rid of monsters?" It was a rhetorical question.

 

Kylie would need to drop the barrier to use a different spell and if she did they were exposed for who knew how long, would she be able to create a bright light fast enough? Or bright enough? Then after that how long would it take care of them for? Kylie felt woozy for a moment thinking it all over. If this place was like the dream realm it would be over with just a-

 

BANG!

 

The Boogeymonster was growing impatient; he began to pound on the barrier in an attempt to break it. It wasn't like it would be hard, the thing was as strong as a jawbreaker enough pounding and slowly it would weaken until it was as easy as peanut brittle.

 

Bang!

 

"Just so you know, monster!" Kylie shouted. "I am going to take down Alex! I am going to be an adult again, and I am going to make sure *None* of your kind, ever touch the Mortal realm again!" Kylie stomped her foot and in one second Kylie tapped her staff on the ground and the barrier expanded just a bit before it turned off. Boogeymonster's arms coiled around the children talons seeking flesh at the center. He grabbed at them and moved to sink his many needle-like teeth in them. Boogeyman's arms did the same, seeking to drag the children into him and no longer be found. The two met in the middle to find that Kylie, Josh and Paul were gone. Boogeymonster only had bits of gum and cotton candy in his talons. The two looked at the ground where the children were. Only a small bit of warhead sour candy was left in their place. A bit of the wrapper peeled open…and then it went off like a grenade.

 

Far away the three children landed with a thud on the hard ground. Far away came a bright light and a small shockwave followed after. The screams of the damned echoed after.

 

"Kylie…wha-how-when….what?" Josh stammered.

 

"I…can…do…magic" Kylie gasped and suddenly she vomited.

 

"Kylie!" The two shouted and acting quickly Paul rolled Kylie into her side. She kept retching until it was only bile she spat out. "What's wrong? What's happening?" Josh asked.

 

"Just breathe, you're gonna be ok?" Paul instructed the sick girl.

 

"What's wrong with her?"

 

"You got me, when she stops, grab her and let's find a place she can rest". Paul said.

 

The two helped Kylie up and carried her through the forest. They stumbled through direction less while Paul had scouted the area a dozen times; nothing seemed familiar. If he wanted to get his bearings it was either get to the kiddie pool or find HQ and he wasn't sure which way they were. Kylie gasped for air clutched at her head all the while whimpering with a ragged voice.

 

"She doesn't sound good," Josh said just as Kylie began another round to vomit up the empty contents of her stomach. "We don't get her help she is going to vomit up her stomach" Josh did his best to calm down Kylie's upset stomach. After she did she began to shake as if she was freezing.

 

"She's getting worse, and I have no idea what the problem is" as if to answer their prayers there came a small light. It danced before them and inscribed a green passage upon a tree, it simply read. *Need some help? Follow the thorns* The light gave a blink and thorns began to grow from the ground and create a winding trail. Without much choice the two boys helped Kylie down the path.

 

At the end of the long twisty path was a small cavity. Made from remnants of playground pieces and wood. The door to the cabin was open allowing warm light to spill out. Just to the side of the open door was a figure. As the boys got close they noticed how it was a woman cloven hooves for her feet. A tail that twisted and ended with a large round bulb complete with guard. She was dressed in a black t-shirt and cropped jeans. Her skin was a deep red. With two bright pink eyes that glowed in the dark, black slits for pupils. Curly amber brown hair that flowed down to her shoulder, shaved on one side and a set of horns poking out from her temples that curled back before jutting out on either side. Besides a few details and missing wings she was nearly a spitting image of Mother.

 

The boys stopped fear gripping them as they looked upon the woman.

 

"Give her to me, I can help" she spoke in a bored tone. Popping a cigarette in her mouth and blowing smoke out the side of her mouth.

 

"Why should we trust you?" Paul asked.

 

"Well…either she dies or I turn her over to Mother" she said, throwing the butt of her cigarette in the ground and stamping it out. "Or just maybe…I won't" she then held out her hands. Josh moved forward and handed Kylie over. The demoness picked her up and carried her inside. The boys at her heels.

 

Inside was warm and fragrant, a series of pots simmering a mixture of cigarette smoke and food. The demoness carried Kylie over to a corner where a changing table sat. Kylie was quickly changed into a fresh diaper, one the boys noted was very plain, very basic and seemed to lack the plastic shell they had come to know. Kylie was wrapped up in a set of blankets and settled into a bassinet.

 

"Come on you two…eat" the demoness stated and brought a pot over ladling a stew into some bowls. "You want coffee?" She asked.

 

"Yes!" The boys said in unison. The demoness grabbed a pot and began to pour it into some sippy, handing them off to the boys. Hesitant, Paul was the first to try it and nearly screamed as he pulled the cup away.

 

"THIS IS COFFEE!" He declared. "Like it's real coffee!" And began to cry as he went in for another sip. Josh joined him enjoying the bitter taste of it. It was real coffee alright. The stuff they had was like it was reheated several times over and just tasted burnt with a mix of mud.

 

The demoness meanwhile picked up Kylie and settled into a couch pressing a bottle to her lips. Kylie latched on wanting something in her stomach and began to drink greedily.

 

"So…" Josh asked, breaking the silence save for Paul's crying. He needed to address the elephant in the room. "Who are you?" He asked. It was then Kylie stopped drinking she didn't want to wind up regressed further she couldn't continue to let it happen and spat the teat out. Besie urged her on however.

 

"Besie,  Daughter to Mother" she answered. "And you are the ones who just set off a nuke of a flashbang amiright?" She shifted Kylie in her lap trying to get her to drink more.

 

"So when is Mother going to be here?"

 

"Fuck if I know…come on squirt drink, sooner your done with your bottle the better you will feel"

 

"She isn't a baby!" Josh growled.

 

"I know, but after what she just did she is lucky I am not breastfeeding her…which she is going to be doing if she doesn't drink her baba" Besie demanded again trying to get Kylie to accept the bottle. Though she refused while the threat of breastfeeding was there she swore to herself she wouldn't let that happen either. She was only half aware of what was happening, the most she caught was she was in the arms of Alex who wasn't Alex.

 

"What did she do?" Josh asked.

 

"Believe it or not, mortals were once able to perform magic…thanks to witch hunts, crusades and the like, it simply was forgotten. Save for the few who were never taught magic but let their bloodline continue. It is far off but she is a descendant of such people" she tried for another attempt to get Kylie to drink and gave a sigh. "I warned you kid" the demoness lifted her shirt revealing she wasn't wearing a bra and pulled Kylie to one of her breasts. Kylie fought back at first but once a bit of the milk touched her lips and she tasted it she quickly accepted, despite not wanting to. It was thick and creamy and held a hint of butterscotch.

 

"Wait!" Paul blurted and stood up. Besie gave a flash of her eyes and he sat back down.

 

"Relax…I am not like Mother, though I wouldn't blame her if she found it addicting. She needs nourishment but most of all she needs mana. She is currently suffering from dehydration, hypothermia and starvation, but worse than that is manablight, which is causing those symptoms and would continue to build on them until she withered and died. Best cure?" Besie then pointed at the nursing Kylie. "Fluids from a demon, depending on where in hell you are, might change what fluids you are offered though."

 

"Who are you?" Josh asked again.

 

"Like I said, Besie…one of Mothers actual children and her little black sheep" Besie said.

 

"Black sheep?"

 

"Every family has one, no? I didn't want to do the whole babyfication domination with her…though I can understand why Mother likes it…this one is growing on me" she smiled down at Kylie. "Oh the look on that old hag's face as this one calls me mommy instead of her" she grinned.

 

"Don't…" Josh warned.

 

"I am not going to do anything, I got like zero interest in having a baby" she looked down at Kylie and Josh could see there was a growing interest.

 

"Doesn't stop you from having a changing table and crib" he pointed out. Besie only rolled her eyes and snapped her finger.

 

"Boop it's gone" she said as she did so the changing table was gone. "Boop it's there" she snapped again and the changing table returned. "It isn't hard to summon that kind of stuff…come on baby, other side now" Besie moved Kylie around and she only fought to stay for a bit longer but once she was moved she greedily nursed on the fresh source of milk.

 

"Why are you helping us?"

 

"Well, I was having a good smoke when there was a massive flash of light followed by a rush of wind that blew out my smoke and Boogey howling…who wouldn't be a little interested in that?" Besie asked. "Those who didn't notice would be blind and deaf. As to why I am helping, I don't have a reason. I just am. A spectacle like that done by a little girl from the mortal plane, on par with some of the more experienced demons this side of Hell…how could I not help?" Kylie was removed from her breast and swaddled up, a pacifier popped into her mouth and she was gently settled into a crib. "It will take her some time to recover but she should be safe for now"

 

"Are we safe?" Paul asked.

 

"Boogey might come around, while Mother will be on the lookout she won't find us here…I made sure of it"

 

"How can you be sure? isn't she more powerful than you?"

 

"Yes, but let's just say someone more powerful than her is keeping Mother from finding me"

 

There then came a thundering noise from outsIde, followed by the clattering of several things upon the wood and plastic of the cabin.

 

"GRREEEEEAAAAAAARRRRRGGGGGGGHHHHHHHHH" roared the Boogeymonster causing the cabin to shudder. "BRING ME THAT-" with great speed Besie grabbed a newspaper and was at the door,  flung it open and swatted Boogeymonster in between his two larger sets of eyes.

 

"Shut it! You will wake the baby!" She hissed.

 

Kylie was just on the verge of sleep, the warm soft blanket with a full belly and while she didn't want it, the soothing comfort of the pacifier bobbing back and forth in her mouth was settling her down. Then came the sudden boom and roar. She whined at first but the yelling startled her and she couldn't help but cry a little.

 

"See what you did!" Besie snapped.

 

"I caRe NoT FOr HIs hEr SLuMBeR! I WiLL CrUSH HEr hIM, reND HIs hEr FlESh anD cRAcK HeR His BOnEs!"

 

"I don't care, now get off my porch!" Besie snapped her finger creating a pink flame in her hand and gave it a small toss. As it made contact with Boogeymonster it erupted like a wildfire and sent him scrambling off the cabin and into the woods.

 

Besie then headed to the crying Kylie and picked her up gently bouncing her.

 

"There there baby, big scary monster is gone, shh" she cooed and as Kylie settled down she was placed back into the crib. "You two, bed time" Besie ordered.

 

"We just had coffee," Paul said.

 

"Yeah, given our younger state we are going to be wired," Josh added.

 

"You two have been here long enough you can't tell good coffee from decaf. Come on Bedtime. We can continue the Q and A tomorrow. You will be safe here and you need to sleep." She ushered the boys to the bathroom and made them brush their teeth, with a snap she made a couple extra beds and a dresser so they had something to change into and tucked them both in. Besie gave a snap of her fingers and pulled out a book. She sat between the two boys and opened the book.

 

"Thought you didn't want kids?" Paul grumbled.

 

"I never said I didn't want kids, just not wanting to baby every soul I come across, and consider this payment for me helping you. You stay out of the clutches of Boogey and Mother, I get to play mommy for a bit." Besie then began to read the story, she spoke softly so Josh and Paul could settle down and doze off when they wanted. The story wasn't fully over when both boys were asleep. She gave both of them a kiss on the forehead before leaving and stepping outside.

 

Besie popped a cigarette in her mouth. With a swish of her finger in the air a small pink flame lit up and she applied it to her cig and gave puff. She stared out across the vast endless gray desert before her toward the Daycare. She gave a slow sharp breath in and blew out the smoke in a perfect O.

 

"Sorry Mom, you ain't finding me like that…they're mine now" she looked into the cabin staring at the crib where baby Kylie slept. "Your days are numbered, she is gonna wreck you" Besie laughed. She gave another puff of her cig and tossed it in the sand, before going inside to rest herself, and prepare for when the kids woke.

 

Chapter 27: Kylie's Training

 

The boys woke to the sweet smell of fresh pancakes and the aroma of coffee. They got out of bed and headed into the kitchen where Besie was busy with cutting up a set of pancakes for Kylie who sat in a high chair in a clearly soggy diaper.

 

"Be happy you are getting pancakes at all." Besie was telling her as the boys joined them at the table. "We can skip this and go right into feeding you if you want."

 

"Nooo, I want pankies but I want diapee change first!" Kylie whined.

 

"Kylie you need to be a big girl for me, use your big girl words and stop whining" Besie scolded but Kylie continued whimpering. "Stop!"

 

"What is wrong with her?"

 

"Part of Mom's magic is still affecting her. It would be easy to get rid of but she keeps acting like a baby so it stays…" to prove her point Kylie grabbed a piece of syrupy pancake in a tight fist and smushed her fist into her face licking and sucking at the pancake.

 

"I am hoping after a feeding and diaper change her own magic will help bring her senses around"

 

"Wasn't last night enough?" Josh asked.

 

"No, but mother's little spells aren't helping. Kylie has little control of her magic, right now she is unconsciously dispelling the small hexes on her, but because she has so little mana it burns up before it can work. So the hexes stay."

 

"So what do we do?"

 

"Well for starters, *Kylie* needs to be a big girl and use her fork!" Besie told the infantile girl. Kylie stopped, grabbed the fork and used her hand to transfer food to her fork, brought the food to her face and used her hand to transfer the pancake from her fork to her mouth, smiling wide for doing as she was told. "You little booger…" Besie shook her head.

 

"She doesn't seem to be getting better…" Paul mused glaring at Besie.

 

"Don't make that face, I have done all I can to help her blight, but in doing so it has regressed her, I am hoping after another feeding she will have enough to return to whatever normal she was before we met."

 

"She still needed diapers before then, but was mostly an adult…for her." Josh said.

 

"Alright sticky butt let's clean you up and get you properly fed" Besie said, taking a wet wipe and cleaning Kylie's face. "There is coffee in the pot for you boys, you literally can't spill it" she said as she carried Kylie away.

 

The boys excitedly went to pour a cup of coffee. The aroma was intoxicating. Just as she said they went to pour a cup and while they didn't try to spill any the pot magically made sure to pour just enough for each cup. Once in hand they clinked cups together and had a sip. Bitter but absolutely delicious they couldn't help but cry tears of joy, Paul especially couldn't help but cry.

 

"I just wish…the others could have had a cup…before…" he broke, spilling his coffee which sloshed in the air and returned to the cup.

 

"We will save them, save all of them" Josh patted his back.

 

Besie sat down on a couch and prepared Kylie for her feeding. She heard one of the boys sobbing but figured it would resolve itself, who knew how long it had been for them since they had actual coffee.

 

"I know you don't want to be like this baby" Besie said as the little one quickly latched onto her. "But, if you want to give up and stay this way, then I'll take care of you, ok?" Kylie stopped and looked up at Besie.

 

"As my Mommy?"  Besie smiled at her.

 

"Yep, I'm your mommy, but you will need to tell those boys you want to be a baby, if I do it, they will just think I am like her"

 

"I no baby!" Kylie whined. Besie took her head and guided her back to her nipple.

 

"I know, but just a bit longer ok? Then mommy will teach you how to go back to being a big girl"

 

After a few minutes Besie joined the boys with a clean and freshly diapered Kylie who also looked terrible.

 

"How is she doing?" Josh asked.

 

"I'm fine…" Kylie groaned. 

 

"Her feeding went well, but she will be feeling a little exhausted for a bit, should be over soon though."

 

Holding her head. Besie settled her into the high chair and handed her a cup of coffee. "Can I get some creamer?" She asked.

 

"What's the magic word?" Besie demanded.

 

"Please" Kylie grumbled and was rewarded with a pour of cream. She took a sip of it and noted the butterscotch flavor of it. Besie gave her a wink.

 

"Once you lot are ready, we can start your training," Besie announced.

 

"Training? For what?" Josh asked.

 

"Well, Kylie needs to start her training…but might as well teach you boys some tricks to help out" She said.

 

"Like what?" Paul asked.

 

"Like how to defend against some of Mom's magic, it ain't foolproof but should she just give up and snap her fingers, you can protect yourself for a moment."

 

"That's a thing?!" Paul nearly yelled.

 

"Yes…why?" Besie asked, a bit shocked at Paul's sudden outburst.

 

"We lost a lot of friends..we tried to say her real name and she retaliated…left just the two of us alive since we couldn't say her name" Josh explained.

 

"You know Mom's true name?! I am sorry for your loss…but believe it or not there is hope for them, it may take time but what I will teach you has the potential to save them. First we need to get my baby here up to snuff" Besis jabbed her thumb at Kylie and lit a cigarette. "Come on baby" She said, helping Kylie out of her high chair and taking her outside. The boys followed and were greeted by endless grey sand. 

 

"Wait, I have seen this before," Josh said.

 

"Limbo…or at least the Limbo of Hell" Besie explained. "No matter how far you run, it is only the mind that wanders, not the body. So your first lesson will be to cross the desert. The trick is to know your destination, first time crossers are forever trapped here since they don't know any of the cities or towns. Few lucky ones find a city but most times it isn't what they want, to help out, you lot will simply come to me" Besie began to walk out into the desert and to Josh's surprise she actually did walk out some ways. She got herself comfy with a lawn chair and shouted that they could begin.

 

"Well this won't be hard" Paul scoffed and began to make his way over to Besie. He had counted how many steps she had taken, which was about twenty five long steps. He counted thirty…thirty five, having a higher number was going to happen. He was shorter than her after all but as he reached fifty he could still see he had a long way to go.

 

"Paul!" Josh called to him. Paul turned his head to look at Josh who was right next to him, Even Kylie was there. He looked behind him to see he was still on the porch of the cabin.

 

"The hell?"

 

"Yeah, it's weird as she says it is just your mind that wanders…i watched as Matt tried to run it…she said the trick is to know your destination…" Josh thought about it. He wanted to go from the Porch to Besie. He could do that by using his legs. Brain tells legs on the subconscious level to move and he would travel over to Besie and stop there like she tasked him to do.

 

"Kylie! Be a big girl and walk please!" Besie called. Josh looked down the porch to see Kylie putting all her effort into standing up and walking toward Besie.

 

Kylie had crawled a little when mommy…Besie had told her to walk. It was simple she wanted to go to Besie…so she went to her. Just as she reached the lawn chair she fell forward and crawled the last foot to be picked up by Besie.

 

"Good job!" Besie congratulated and settled Kylie in her lap. "Come on you two!" She called

 

"Come on! Slow pokes!" Kylie teased. Josh wanted to show her who was slow. So he began to run. Part way through he noticed how close he was getting, he was doing it he was actually making some distance he looked back at the porch, sure enough he had made it some distance. He turned back to travel the rest of the way and noticed he was once again going nowhere.

 

"Oh! He thought about it too much" Besie said.

 

"Stop thinking about it and come here!" Kylie shouted both hands up to her mouth to help amplify her shout.

 

"Kylie, you don't need to tell them how it works," Besie said.

 

"Sowwy" Kylie moaned.

 

Josh thought on what Kylie said, *Stop thinking* and from what Besie said *The trick is to know your destination*, know where you're going but without thinking about it. He knew he wanted to go to where Besie and Kylie were. With one step in front of the other he approached the two and without thinking hard on it he stopped alongside them.

 

"You did it!" Kylie cheered, throwing both hands up in celebration. "Now Paul needs to" Kylie watched expectedly.

 

Paul had watched both Kylie and Josh move across the small bit of space across the grey sand. He struggled on how they moved effortlessly across the desert while he had gone nowhere.

 

One foot in front of the other. That was a fundamental law of getting places for people. Now here he was going nowhere on that same law. Maybe it was like a disability, if you had only one foot where was the other to complete it. If you had no legs, you used your arms in some way…

 

"Stop think-!" Kylie yelled and was promptly silenced by Besie with a pacifier.

 

"Kylie, the point is to figure it out, people have their way of thinking and when faced with a challenge they will use that to solve it, once that fails what do you think happens?" She asked but didn't wait for a response. "They change their thinking"

 

*Stop thinking about it* That was what Kylie had yelled and from that Josh was able to move across the desert. To not think was impossible it meant you were dead if anything, or brainwashed to not question whoever was in control. He took a deep sigh as he pulled it over when something clicked. How was he breathing? He didn't need to think about it; it was second nature. To take it from there if he wanted to walk somewhere he just did it. He had to make it second nature to get from one place to another. He had to not think about getting there, he just wanted to be there.

 

"Youw bidsh ish!" Kylie cheered through her pacifier. Paul looked up and noticed that he was next to the others. He looked back at the house where he had been, and kept walking.

 

"But I was thinking all that time…" he said.

 

"But not about how to reach the destination, only that you wanted that destination. The first rule of magic is want, you want to hold fire in your hand? You don't think about all the things in how to do that, the first thing is imagining yourself already doing it like with all things in life, then you just need to want it." Besie explained and gave Paul a pat on the head. "But now comes the hard part, and the best I can do for you boys is teach you how to defend yourselves while Kylie actually learns magic" Besie got up and set Kylie down. "Now come on back!" She said and walked back to the cabin. Once again the three struggled their way back, Kylie was quick, Josh was slow and Paul was last.

 

The other lessons were the same. A struggle of understanding how magic worked. Kylie would learn a spell the boys practiced to defend against it. The second day was the same: a quick run back and forth through the grey endless desert then practice spells. This went on for a whole week…

 

"I am ready to go Damnit!" Kylie yelled, slamming down her fist and almost knocking her sippy cup over. Kylie, Josh and Paul had begun to grow up again. Kylie was still a bit behind, she was potty training but had graduated from diapers at least. Josh and Paul were starting to enter their early teens. Paul above all else was ecstatic for this new development; he had been a child for so long the thought of becoming an adult again was a drug that drove him. Thanks to Besie's help the power Mother used on them was starting to wane. However it would return when they went to face their foe their regression was inevitable, but their new found knowledge would at least keep them in the more older years rather than the susceptible younger years.

 

"You are not ready young lady!" Besie scolded. "Or do we need to be reminded how little we actually are" she threatened by making a baba and diaper appear. Kylie pouted and dug into her cereal. It had been like this everyday but the last three days were Kylie thinking she was ready.

 

"It has been a week now and who knows what that bitch has done to our friends!" Kylie yelled mouth still a bit full of cereal.

 

"Kylie swallow first before you talk! And! The same as every day, nothing has happened to them that hasn't already been done. Your friends are fine, we need to focus on your training and above all that…do you need to potty?" Besie asked. 

 

"Maybe…" Kylie pouted again and from there the two went to the bathroom. Where congratulations would be made and a happy Kylie would beg for big girl undies…then throw a tantrum when she was denied them.

 

"Still, how long will it take?" Josh asked. "We can't just hide and train for years, eventually we need to take action. The longer we wait the more people Mother will kidnap," Josh said.

 

"Considering even once we enter it is still just three against a whole army and a godlike being, remember one snap and we are babies again." Paul added.

 

"Only if we don't play her way…"

 

"Her way consists of turning us into babies"

 

"Maybe we can use that, be caught on purpose and play her game then catch her unaware"

 

"Hide in her bedroom and yell her name…she will be the most unguarded there" Besie said as she came from the other room, Kylie pouting beside her.

 

"Like she wouldn't be aware of us when we walked in there, she seems to know everything at all times" Paul said.

 

"She isn't omnipotent, when you do something long enough enough you become good at it and she has been caring for babies, toddlers and teens for a long time"

 

"So what do you suggest?"

 

"She hates the 'Why Game' really takes it out of her mentally" Besie said.

 

"Why?"

 

"See you're already an expert" she quipped.

 

"The second she is onto us we will get pacified"

 

"Allow Kylie to demonstrate then, Kylie play the why game" Besie instructed.

 

"Why?" Kylie responded, Besie then pacified her.

 

"So we can show the boys how it works"

 

"Why?"

 

"See? The pacifier isn't a gag or anything, it might not help with other words but the word 'why' isn't that hindered by it. The hag hates the game and her first instinct is to use a pacifier. She won't use something that is cruel or unfair since you are just playing a game, a game she hates, but it isn't fair to punish for that, she might throw you in the playpen and leave you, so the game is a good way to get rid of her. However, you will need to be tactful with it, spouting it off she will quickly realize what you are doing."

 

"Why?" Kylie asked.

 

"We can stop playing the why game now" Besie told her.

 

"Why?" Kylie asked, a grin forming on her face. Besie gave her a glare.

 

"So! One or two of you can distract her while two or one of you hide in her room, and it will be there you need to be the most adult, you need to pick a place that isn't obvious. She always does a baby check before she rests. You can't just hide behind the curtains with your feet sticking out and think you are safe. Once she is in bed, say her name and…" Besie snapped her fingers, the boys flinched at the sound, small protective wards quickly forming. "You got her"

 

"When can we go?" Josh asked.

 

"Ideally, in another month or two," Besie said.

 

"We are awwedgy ober our vacasson, we cansh wait aaay wonger" Kylie said through her pacifier.

 

"I know sweetie, but the hag is very powerful. When she regressed you lot, she erased the memories of you from the people who are closest to you. So her little babies are hers and not theirs. The only people who would remember you existed as an adult would be someone, say the barista at a coffee place."

 

"Kylie was the barista," Josh said.

 

"Random customers then, point is, when she fixes all of this, she can manipulate the minds of people to believe your vacation was extended and that it was all fine, Paul, you have been here too long already, for you, life will be hard, you vanished without a trace." Paul looked down.

 

"I am not gonna go back" he said. Everyone looked at him confused. "I won't go back until all the Naughty Kids are able to walk through that portal and return to their lives"

 

"Paul that isn't going to be possible"

 

"I don't care! She stole us from our lives we have the right to go back to them"

 

"So many of you have gone missing, some have been here for decades, some centuries. For some they can't just go back as adults. They will need to be regressed to infants and grow up again. Some might be able to take on the added years, I wouldn't doubt the few who have lived for centuries would want to finally embrace their death. The sheer number of them is the problem…" Besie explained.

 

"We will gain control of Mother. Fully in our grasp and be careful about where and when we return kids, we can deal with the other problems later." Paul said knuckles turning white as he gripped his fists. Besie sighed.

 

"If that is the case, I will help where I can, but a price must be paid" Besie took a long drag of her cigarette and blew out a thin wispy trail of smoke that slithered about unnaturally in the air.

 

"What is it?" Paul asked.

 

"I gain power similar to the hag, I was her favorite back in the day because of this but I didn't share her ideals…so the price I ask is to regress some of you and then nurture them back to adults or at least angsty teens…"

 

"I'll…think about it" Paul grumbled, not happy with such a deal.

 

"Deal with a demon, my offer still stands when you are ready…the question now is, do you want to go now or can you wait one more month?" Besie asked, looking at Josh and Kylie.

 

Chapter 28: Return

 

The children were at play hopping and skipping about yelling and running around the playgrounds. Some slept peacefully for an early nap. Some snacked on crackers and cookies. All the while Mother gazed down with loving caring tenderness, but would scan the horizon of the abandoned sector with icy malice. It had been a trip down memory lane when she had returned that one time yet one of displeasure with how the trees had rotted and the rose bushes never blossomed and that pitiful house cold and abandoned. A different life that was. Her "prodigal" daughter would return one day and she would be ready for it.

 

"Mommy?" A small voice peeped. Alex looked down to see Lilly looking up at her.

 

"Aww, Hi my little Lilly" Alex sang and picked the little baby up. "How are you?"

 

"Mommy can I have milk?" Lilly asked.

 

"I told you before sweetie, we need to wait for Kylie"

 

"She doesn't want to share with me," Lilly pouted.

 

"Maybe not, but when she sees you doing it, maybe she will want to then" Alex explained. She gave her little one a kiss and stared off into the horizon. Inside she grinned to herself at seeing Kylie's remorse while her best friend regressed before her eyes. Alex imagined Kylie would throw a tantrum and after a bit of fighting ultimately she would give up and become her little baby. The thought was so pleasing she began to grin on the outside.

 

Her enjoyment had to be put on pause however as a stuffed toy flew towards her. Instinctively her tail caught it and set it aside.

 

"Maddie we don't throw toys" Alex chided. Near some of the toys was her other little girl Maddie. Transformed by one of Alex's big boys. The girl had a small temper tantrum as she picked up another stuffed toy and swung it around like a bat, testing its firmness. "Do you need another time out?" Alex asked her.

 

"Maddie, this is supposed to be fun," Lilly said.

 

"Scramble you, Lilly!" Maddie yelled. "Change me back now! I'm a girl! I'm a girl! I am a girly girl Maddie screamed, stomping her feet and smashing the toy into the ground, the toy giving off small squeaks as it hit the floor.

 

"I think it is time for someone's nap, Maddie, do you need a diaper change?"

 

"Yes Mommy" Maddie answered then seemed to jerk back to reality. Maddie screamed and tossed the toy and it was easily countered by Alex's tail.

 

Alex set Lilly down and began to tend to Maddie, easily subjugating her and taking her from the room to change her and put down for a nap.

 

Meanwhile…

 

A little makeshift cabin made from various playground equipment and wood, blinked into existence. It wasn't far from an abandoned house that it once complimented long ago. The door of the cabin opened and out stepped three young adults. As they passed the threshold however they regressed to preteens.

 

Paul raised a mug to his lips and sipped at its contents before he began to down it and set the mug down on a windowsill.

 

Josh checked his supplies making sure everything was there. "Everyone got everything?" He asked.

 

"And then some," Kylie responded. She snapped her fingers and produced a small flame spreading her fingers wide and watched as the flame separated to each finger slowly engulfing them. "Yeah I don't have as much magic power here, but we should be fine." Kylie said, shaking the flames free from her hand. She waved her hand about in front of her and chanted, "Sek-ib ee rht eki-Ldl ouw-I" she repeated it a few times before she snapped her fingers. Flames erupted before them but vanished just as quickly as they appeared. Before them sat three bikes, with large round dinner mints for wheels, pretzel and licorice frame, gusher bike seat and twizzler handlebars. The three kids got on a bike. Besie walked out and lit a cig.

 

"Be careful…" was all she was able to say. 

 

"We will," Josh answered.

 

"Thank you for everything mom," Kylie said. The three of them kicked off the ground and began to pedal toward the Daycare proper.

 

…

 

Over the course of the day rumors quickly exploded. Three kids riding bikes made from candy were riding about from playground to playground. Some children tried to follow them, some who had bikes joined in whatever game they were playing. They would reach a playground set and yell "Victory is Upon Us, we call you to battle!" then ride off. From there children either followed the biker or stayed put having no chance to keep up; however, some kids ran another direction. At first the babysitters were able to hold back some of the kids from heading off into the woods, but as their numbers soon grew it was the siblings who needed to intervene, using their magic to stem the tide of children. While they were able to catch many of the children it meant nothing when a girl came riding on one of the candy bikes. With a wave of her hand she began to dispel the traps and cages that the siblings created, setting them free and allowing them to join the wave of children who fled into the woods.

 

Mother was tending to a fussy Maddie and a few other babies who needed their nap when the doors burst open to undo all her hard work. The little ones began to cry having been disturbed from their rest.

 

"What is the meaning of this!?" Mother yelled, might as well wake them all up now she figured.

 

"Mother the children are running into the woods" the sitter said.

 

"You are to be watching them carefully! If you can't manage that you must not be as big of a boy as I thought…" Mother said calmly with a sly smile on her face and her finger raised, her thumb readying a snap, another baby to add to a crib.

 

"Mother! The children are running into the woods!" Another sitter burst in.

 

"You too?!" Mother asked, appalled. She knew she taught them better. "What sections are you from that you can't handle a few little children?"

 

"Mother! The siblings can't stop them all!" A third called.

 

"What is happening!?" Mother asked. It was never perfect in The Daycare. These things happened as would from any workplace environment. Yet this was a well oiled machine she operated, the few "young hires" making the small mistake was a daily thing if not weekly. Yet for three to come in so quickly and now the siblings were involved…something was wrong.

 

"Mom! I'm sorry but a girl on a bike made of candy is undoing all our spells to catch the children. The family can't stop her!" One of her children yelled as they came in."

 

It all Made sense then.

 

"KYLIE!"

 

With a burst of fire Mother left the chamber. "Put these ones to bed!" She ordered.

 

…

 

It was only a matter of time before those who couldn't make it to the woods would have to be abandoned. It was the risk for this maneuver. The plan was simple. Hit the few playgrounds closest to the woods then aim for the furthest giving them time to reach the woods. Some Naughty Kids, especially the ones part of rescue teams joined the call to battle and rode off to hit up other playgrounds. Soon the fields between the playgrounds and the woods had a flood of Naughty Kids. Most wouldn't be heading for the abandoned HQ they would scatter to lands beyond, places in The Daycare that Mother abandoned. Her realm was large as were any Nobles' realm in Hell. Yet unlike her peers she ruled alone with only a small handful of higher ranked demons to help her manage…her "Family" who in turn has a small group of "Children" the 

siblings and a large spattering of sitters. Her vast realm only focused on one location while the rest was a desolate wasteland untended to. With thanks to kids willing to make the journey to transport supplies the Naughty Kids who had ventured beyond the woods could survive and waited for the call to battle.

 

"KYLIE!" A roar. Bellowed out from the skies Large walls of pink and blue fire erupted from the ground blocking off the children's escape. Kylie moved to the wall and set up shields to open the wall.

 

"Go! Go! Go! You know the drill?" Only a small handful entered while the others began to disperse. Paul and Josh quickly entered and Kylie stayed ready to face down Alex. Alex landed with a boom throwing up dirt.

 

"It has been some time, little girl, come give mommy a hug." Alex said, opening her arms wide wings unfurled and twitching anxiously to wrap Kylie up. Her tail whipped about like a cat on the hunt.

 

"I did…just before I came to see you…Grandma!"

 

As if Kylie was Medusa herself staring down her prey. Alex froze absolutely still.

 

"What did you just call me?" There was no coy lilt in her voice, no sly smile of trickery, no warmth in her tone. The fires of Hell were what resonated from her throat. Part of which was her own voice mixed with that deep masculine rumbling second voice. Her flames seemed to die down but flick for naturally to that of fire yet a much darker shade, more blood red and deep blue than their cotton candy colors.

 

"Well let's see, besides my mother who birthed me into the mortal realm I found someone loving and caring who helped me grow in this realm. She is just as much my Mommy and since she is your child…that makes you…my Grandma!" Kylie said with a big innocent smile on her face.

 

"Besie…" Alex sneered, but began to laugh. "Do you think you can fight me?"

 

"No…" Kylie admitted, but he can" Kylie shoved her thumb into the back of the woods, then gave a snap.

 

Tendrils and talons shot out from beyond the treeline. A large buzzing followed after as Boogeymonster leapt from the woods. Caught off guard Alex was pounced upon and her supple skin was torn at.

 

"I have no time for these games!" Alex roared, tossing Boogeymonster off. From a black void Alex pulled out Ebenezer Von Spank and swung it with great force into Boogeymonster. 

 

"How about that game?" Kylie asked, pointing toward an area of field where children were screaming. The Boogeyman was going after them.

 

"You are letting him take them?" Alex asked quietly, shocked as she had to fend off both Boogey now.

 

"No…I couldn't strike a deal with him…kind of funny he is more the monster than him" Kylie said as Boogeymonster recovered and began to attack once more. Kylie didn't stick around though she quickly headed into the woods.

 

…

 

HQ. Here it was. It had taken some time to reconstruct it to fit more children. Built from candy and more playground equipment. The place was more of a playground set than a house. Already kids were being prepped with sticks and other gear. They would need to be ready soon, in fact the sooner the better. The longer Alex was distracted the better.

 

"He show up?" Josh asked as Kylie entered what was the master bedroom.

 

"Yeah…I wish he didn't though it just complicates matters."

 

"Soldiers are ready and platoons are being formed, we prepared for this and knew the risks involved we can't have regrets now" Paul said.

 

"Yeah I know…Hopefully he won't be in the way when we storm the castle."

 

"Yeah, we will need to quickly brief the soldiers on the attack…" Paul began to set out maps. Kylie worked a bit of magic to create a projector for all the soldiers to view.

 

"Attention everyone! May we have your attention!" Kylie shouted into the p.a system. "My name is Kylie, As you are being geared up and settled into your platoon. We will debrief you now on the plan of attack. Today, we are storming the castle Mother's home. Not all of us are going to make it…but we are prepared…you should be prepared. Today we plan to open up portals all across The Daycare we will return home. Prepare yourselves…for while you may go home, you may go home at the age you are now. For some of us…that may be perfect…others I know you will miss your old life, We sure will…I don't have anything more to inspire you, I am sorry. Yet I know you are here because you want to grow up, you are done being a child in this world we call Hell"

 

"This is Commander Paul" Paul began taking over the microphone. "If you don't wish to fight, fear not for we will be moving some of you to other bases to live. Where you will join other Naughty Kids who await a new call to battle. As we speak many of us are heading there now to tell those people. We have prepared for this day and others. Today is to see if we can make it, we have lost so many people to this demon we call Mother. Many have already given up. Yet if you cling on to the hope of returning home you are what we need, now and in the future. Fight hard my brothers and sisters, I will not leave here until I know for certain that I will be the last one through those portals. I hand you over to Lieutenant Josh now for the debriefing."

 

"This is Lieutenant Josh, if you don't want to fight please head toward the red equipment for evacuation. If you are willing to lay down your life and adulthood to give us the chance to leave head to any other color…I will now relay the plans we have been making for the last Five Years"

 

Chapter 29: A Plan in the Making.

 

Five Years Ago

 

"...the question now is, do you want to go now or can you wait one more month?" Besie asked, looking at Josh and Kylie.

 

"I want to go now!" Kylie demanded.

 

"We should wait another month," Josh said.

 

"Strike now while the iron is hot!" Kylie said.

 

"The iron I so cold your tongue would stick to it" Paul interjected.

 

"Kylie, if we wait another month we will be even stronger and ready for Mother." Josh argued.

 

"What about our lives! They no doubt stopped the police investigation on four missing adults!"

 

"They wouldn't have bothered" smoked puffed from Besie's mouth.

 

"What did you just say? Kylie asked, a bit shocked.

 

"If there is one thing that hag is good with it is being a Mother, caring, disciplining, replacing. When she converts a child to being her own, her power can span across the planes to affect the memories of your parents, siblings and relatives, making them forget you ever existed. Pictures are erased, rooms are changed. If they got something for you…gone. Here in Hell that very power is sought after…no other demon has that sort of influence. Not even demons like Lucifer, Asmodeus or Lilith. If that power could be converted…" Besie let that hang in the air.

 

"I want to go home," Kylie said, tears forming in her eyes. Even Josh looked sullen.

 

"You go now, you might be able to…whats one more month and it will be even more possible." Kylie looked at Josh and sighed.

 

"Fine…" she said, defeated.

 

"What about getting everyone else out?" Paul asked. The two looked at him.

 

"Month should work, maybe two," Besie said.

 

"We won't need a whole two months…but that extra time we can get the Naughty kids ready," Paul said.

 

Three months later

 

"Hey you know what's a good idea? Inform every damn agent across The Daycare about being able to escape,Nothing can go wrong!" Kylie pouted.

 

"I get it, you can, can the sarcasm" Paul said, he peeked over the large alligator, aimed his stick and fired a blast at the large mechanized crib hitting one of the many large white hands.

 

"Hey, you know what is smart, Paul?" Kylie asked as she tossed a handful of pop rocks behind her head in the direction of the mechanized crib. Lots of explosions went off.

 

"Not now Kylie!" Paul berated. 

 

"Let's use the sound system from the robo-nanny's main computer to broadcast our announcement!" Kylie said. She peeked over the alligator, Josh was being wrestled into a nap. Thanks to Kylie's bubblegum spell and Paul's shooting they were able to delay Josh being taken. He was already diapered and placed in jammies, a pacifier silencing him and he couldn't let go of a stuffed animal. If he was put down for a nap they would lose him. It was just then that the mechanized crib fell into a hole and got stuck. "I'm going for it!" Kylie said, summoning her peppermint staff and rushing toward the crib. Paul gave covering fire, blasting at the hands.

 

"Pew! That hit you! Bang! That one got you, you're dead!" He shouted each phrase as a method to make the bullets home in on the target. Kylie launched a freezing wave of magic covering the spot where the crib's foot had gotten trapped. Kylie summoned a large gummy bear and used it like a trampoline to jump high above the crib. Mid-air she changed her staff into a spear and came down toward the crib stabbing at the monitor that made an angry face of red digital dots. The robotic crib seized for a moment before calming down and going silent. Josh was recovered.

 

"Dumbest idea ever!" Josh said. It took a bit to remove the magical seals on the pacifier and stuffed toy.

 

"Mom will get the rest off," Kylie said.

 

"We're pulling out, it is obvious this was a wasted effort, the nannies are too efficient at this."

 

"Explains why the whole place is abandoned, Mother wanted the fun of it all" Josh said.

 

"At least there can't be a dumber idea than this…" Paul said.

 

Two years later[/I]

 

"Hey Paul?" Josh asked incredulously. Arms crossed as he took in the situation before him.

 

"Yeah Josh?" Paul joined in mimicking Josh's pose.

 

"Remember when we tried to use the P.A system in an abandoned robo-nursery?"

 

"Oh yeah, that was my idea, I am sorry for such a stupid idea" Paul said. "Oh but remember when we tried to convince one of Mother's children to join our cause?"

 

"I do, Jenny was her name I think…that was my idea forgive me for such a dumb idea" Josh said.

 

"You are forgiven…what was a dumber idea than those?" Paul asked.

 

"There was that time we tried to fight the living stuffies, oh and thinking the Sandbox pits was the greatest place to hide"

 

"I do remember those, pretty dumb…but you know…I think converting the Boogeymonster is by far the dumbest idea we have had"

 

"Yep, even Besie said not to…Well it was Kylie's idea…."

 

"Will you two shut up and help!?" Kylie yelled. She struggled to keep the barrier up as Boogeymonster clawed and bite. Anything to exact his revenge from two years ago. The boys held up their hands and reinforced the barrier. "Now Boogey!" Kylie turned her attention from the two dolts. "Hate me all you want, but I will be your Harbinger. A pathway to the human realm if we succeed. All the children you can eat then. No one can stop you then, find a good place to settle down in and you can make yourself a little child farm, but you need to help us first for it." The clawing and biting stopped for a moment.

 

"YoU sAcriFICe bILlIOns THaT waY" it chattered.

 

"Help us by fighting Alex and once everyone is evacuated, I will take on my role for you. Without you our plan will surely crumble…you will even learn her true name" the red dots in the Boogeymonster's eyes dilated.

 

"A DeaL ThEN!" It backed off, slinking back into the forest. Kylie gave it a minute before she lowered her shield but stood ready just in case.

 

"HA! OF ALL THE DUMB IDEAS MINE WORKED!" Kylie said.

 

"Let's just hope Mother kills him off so you don't have to keep your end of the bargain…." Paul said.

 

"Yeah…" Kylie agreed. "Let's hope"

 

**Nine months later.**

 

Thwack, Thwack, Thwack

 

"Stop it young lady!" Besie yelled, this was the third time she needed a spanking but Kylie wasn't having it.

 

"NO! I wanna go home now!" She screamed her throat going raw from crying.

 

Josh and Paul sat on the ground waiting for her tantrum to end. They were locked in the living room behind a baby gate and wearing nothing more than a t-shirt and diapers. All the while they played with some Legos which they had structured to plan out the final attack.

 

Ever since Kylie had come up with the brilliant idea to recruit Boogeymonster they had been stuck in diapers. Besie had shown a furious rage the likes they had never seen. She still maintained their potty training though, but she treated them like babies fully through, no training, no operations, the best they could do was send codes and letters to other agents to prep. This was during times they were allowed "Adult Time" which lasted at best an hour or two. Baby time though was to last a whole year.

 

"I have put up with this shit for three years now!" Kylie screamed

 

Thwack

 

"A week without potty training now!" Besie told her.

 

"I want to go home! I want my life back! I want my real mommy back!" Besie paused in her spanking. She quickly secured Kylie's diaper on and stood up. Nearly threw the girl into a room and slammed the door.

 

"Throw your tantrum then!" Besie spat. Shakily she took out a cigarette and lit it, deeply inhaling and nearly sucking the whole thing away.

 

The last comment stung a bit too deep for her liking. Three years now since she brought the children into her home. Three years Kylie has been calling her Mommy. She relished every letter of it. The affection, the care, sure she has the two boys as well but they didn't call her mommy. They were like someone else's children she took care of. Kylie was hers!

 

Besie slumped down on the floor back against the door hearing Kylie pound on it. Tears welled up in her eyes, these kids were fighting to leave this place, every little operation of theirs getting them one step closer, she was so proud of them.

 

She had warned them about doing things too dangerously. She didn't like that time in the abandoned factory. She hated the war they had with the living stuffies, it was too damn close to the hag's castle. Most of all when they came back cheering they had gotten Boogeymonster to agree to help, she lost it. Sure the other little things they did were bad but they would have wound up as babies at least then one day she might be able to kidnap them from the hag in a century or two. Boogeymonster though…that was a death sentence and her fury and fear had coagulated together into their current punishment. She had forgiven them months ago, but she needed to keep her end of the deal or be seen as too lenient. She didn't want Kylie to go back, as proud as it would make her, to know she was growing up. 

 

"We do keep promising her…next year or next month we'll be ready" Paul murmured. “Sorrow and frustration are a volatile set of emotions…”

 

"We're those big boy words?!" Besie snapped, Paul quickly shut up and shoved a pacifier in his mouth to show his compliance. Besie stood up and tossed her cigarette away only to light up another.

 

An hour later she opened the door, only to nearly be tackled by Kylie.

 

"I am sorry, mommy" she cried tears running down her face. I didn't mean it, I didn't mean the real mommy thing, you're my real Mommy! Please don't be mad" She continued to bawl.

 

"It's ok, it's ok. I am not mad anymore."

 

"You love me again?" Kylie asked.

 

"I never stopped loving you baby, come on let's get you and the boys some dinner and a fresh diaper"

 

Two years later

 

"The stick pile is good. Rations are divided, the house is cleaned and the extra space is built" Josh went over. The last two years he was gathering sticks and collecting proper rations for all the soldiers. So many to go over, plenty of the playgrounds even had some stored.

 

"The captains are prepared and ready to receive word, their magicians close by" Kylie said. Two years of finding and training kids in the art of magic like Mommy had, as well as kids who could be good leaders for the thousands that would be scattered and clumped on the fields.

 

"Then it seems we are truly and finally ready…send word to the big bad and let's get our messages out" Paul said.

 

"Bye Mom, thank you for everything" Kylie said holding Besie close. Five years she waited on this. She was going home finally. As the two women held each other Kylie knew if she failed Besie would save her one day, hopefully before her memories were erased or at the very least before she saw Alex as her mother.

 

"You take care sweetie, I wish I could do more for you" Besie said.

 

"You have done enough…so how about you quit smoking" Kylie said.

 

"May I have one more then?"

 

"Better be your last one" Kylie warned. They stopped to embrace each gave the other a kiss on the cheek and they headed for the door…

 

The Present

 

"Stage one, we push for the castle!" Josh explained. "Take out any and all opposition in your way. Do not kill, while we can…we shouldn't. I'll explain in a minute. To note all of this is a game, one large big kid game with the goal of getting every laat one of us out of the daycare…

 

Stage two, once inside the castle start causing chaos. Wake the babies, scare the children, do not harm them. We need them calling for her as much as possible. Mother plays by a set of rules and we will bend each other them but if we break them she will snap. Mother can instantly make us babies with but a snap of her finger. The second her children or babies are truly injured she will stop the game in its tracks. We can expect her to simply cause a wave of magic that will instantly regress all of us.

 

Stage three, the goal of stage two is to get Commander Magician Kylie into Mother's bedchambers. There she will give a call that will signal the last stage of this game.

 

Stage four, if…" Josh paused, he wasn't sure about the entire plan but it was best to not fill the troops with false hope "...when Kylie sends the signal be ready to leave…portals will open up all across The Daycare, we are not sure how big they will be so please be ready to line up in single file and quickly move through the portal. You may not get a better chance.

 

Lastly…we are not sure if we will return back to the age we were before coming here…if the time spent will advance us to the age we would be if we didn't wind up here, or if we will wind up the age we we all see each other as now. For all of us prepare yourselves to live a new life growing up, for some let us all hope we can return to our families...and for many more of us I wish the best, godspeed"

 

Click

 

With that the message was over. The troops…riled up…if one could call it that. For all any of them knew this was a one time deal. There was no second chance. Josh looked up to Paul and Kylie both of them were ready and their resolve helped steel him for the battle to come.

 

Chapter 30:  When a Naughty Kid Goes to War

 

"Damn BUG! I should have squished you when I had the chance!" Alex yelled, swinging her paddle around to fend off a volley of talons, "What did those damn brats offer you?"

 

"YoUr NaME" the Boogeymonster chirped gleefully. Fire raged in Alex's eyes and she began to swing more wildly about, yet with greater force. This dance of theirs has gone on for centuries, to many of the other demons; he was an insignificant pest, to her; he was a tumor. She had a chance to squash him so long ago but her pride and ego had spared his life. Why kill when she could lord it over him, an insignificant threat that would never best her. Yet he dined on the few children who left her care and protection. He grew stronger.

 

All the while the sitters and family members rounded up what children had yet to reach the forest. If not for Alex keeping Boogeymonster busy, he would have smashed the playpens and crib's down to let them escape. The ones who had escaped couldn't last long without supplies. Eventually they would need to return to designated care zones where their mother would be waiting to properly return them to their diapers, crib's and routine. 

 

Barrrrum

 

At first it was quiet but it was there…

 

Barrrrrrrrrrummm

 

The sound of rhythmic thunder rolling out from the forest.

 

Barrrrum bum bum barrrrum bumbum bum bum

 

The low deep but booming beat of war drums. Horns flared up next, a call to the soldiers. To send forth a cacophony to all in unison!

 

"I am Naughty so I'm Told!"

"Causing Mischief 'till I'm Old!"

"Mother wants me to be Nice!"

"Swaddled in Care and Diapered Twice"

"I am Naughty and I won't Bend!"

"We'll be Adults in the End!"

 

Everyone stopped and turned to watch as children emerged from the forest. The thousands of kids who had escaped from Mother's grasp and yet to be brought back to the fold. Many others were the opposite, children who were in her grasp and since the call had fled with the others to join the cause.

 

Amongst them all were a small group of kids Alex quickly set her eyes on. She moved off of the Boogeymonster who waited for his own signal from the captains.

 

"Young Lady, this has gone far enough!" Alex called. "All of you, playtime is over, you are all grounded, unless you come over here this instant!" Alex said, sweeping Ebenezer Von Spank across her vision of the army slamming it at the end to punctuate her point.

 

"Naughty Kids!" Kylie announced. Like a wave all the children braced themselves.

 

"I will see to it you NEVER reach eighteen months!" Alex spat, cotton candy flames exploding the air as if there was too much oxygen around her.

 

"CHARGE!!!"

 

The children began their sprint, sticks raised high as their little legs pounded the soft bouncy ground.

 

Boogeymonster grinned and opened his maw as wide as a pair of doors. Some of the children ran for it as if it was their last hope!

 

The tales were told, the rumors spread there were the hopeful…they could go home and return to normal lives. Then there was hopelessness, there was no returning for them, maybe they could live on, maybe they would age so fast it would kill them regardless they wouldn't see their family or friends again many had moved on already probably. For many of these crestfallen children they didn't join the cause…what was the point? For many others however they could give those dumb little hopeful fools a chance…feed the beast…literally!

 

"What?! NO!!!" Alex screamed, instead of charging for Kylie like she planned, cutting the head off the snake, she rushed toward Boogeymonster and slapped him with her paddle, stopping him and the little children martyrs. Boogeymonster made a second attempt and like a game, the children rushed for his open maw. Once again Alex stood between them and kept her eternal foe away from them. "FUCKING KYLIE!" Alex roared, the little bitch had done it now, a dumb plan like this?!, even if it wasn't her idea, she led these forces so she had to bear the responsibility and the consequences of them. "I will reduce her to a damn fetus! Birth her, nurture her and after her first diaper change do it again! Over and over until all she knows is absolute devotion to Me"

 

[Slap!

 

"Then I will keep doing it! Until every little atom of her only knows me as her Motherly Goddess, only then will I let her have a second diaper change, and when she gets old enough to speak I better hear 'mommy I never want to leave my diapees, mommy I only want to drink from your breasts'" Alex slapped Boogeymonster away, her anger still fueling her terrible scheme. She looked over her shoulder watching as Kylie and all the Naughty Kids ran across the battlefield. Furiously she wrote a set of sigils in the air, with a snap of her finger her spell flew across the sky, there would soon be a massive wall of reddish pink and deep blue flames furiously blocking the children. However she watched as a bubble wrapped around the spell stopping it, a neon blue thread wrapped around it and flung it toward the sky creating a dazzling burst.

 

Alex stood there mouth agape on how her spell was countered. She looked toward the crowd. There were several children channeling magic. One out of a hundred maybe, all working to create spells of their own and all of them watching Alex.

 

“You taught them?! I am so proud” she said softly, but a growing buzzing reminded her of something more important. “Unfortunately it is buried by all this UNYIELDING RAGE!” Alex turned and took flight to quickly counter Boogeymonster. A whip of her tail and swing of her paddle to counter his many talons that reached to rip into her and pluck children from the ground.

 

In the midst of the battle Kylie watched as the two powerful demonic entities began to battle in the air. It was a game of “King of the Skies” as Alex would push Boogeymonster away but he tried to fly back to the little martyrs.

 

“FIRE!” Paul called and a volley of lasers flooded ahead of them trying to push back the many sitters and family members. Spells to catch the children were cast and countered. The many gifted children tended to the battlefield. They were broken up into four groups. Half were for countering Alex, another half for the battle. Halved again so one group could channel magic and the other prepared to counter. All the while the kids charged forward. Pushing toward the castle. The massive group they started with began to break apart as strong children and powerful sitters began to have their own battles. Still they pushed onwards. Their numbers were few compared to the many. It took maybe six or more kids to impede one sitter. Many more to stop a sister or brother plus a set of gifted children to stop their magic.

 

“You can stop there now, children,” one aunt said. Kylie recognized her, she had brought Amy to the mortal realm. Kylie readied her staff.

 

“You sure?” Josh asked, his own counter spell was ready as well as his stick. 

 

“She is the last one, so just be ready,” Kylie said. She began to channel magic the Aunt smirked and raised her hands red painted nails grew into claws magic zipping between them. Kylie then gave a flick and out popped a small piece of candy.

 

“Is that a Warhead?” The aunt asked. She looked up seeing that Kylie and Josh had already put on sunglasses, she saw everyone had sunglasses on…

 

Alex swung Boogeymonster higher into the air and she threw Ebenezer Von Spank which slapped into his abdomen. Ebenezer Von Spank began to glow a deeper purple.

 

“Grow stronger with every spank my love” Alex murmured to herself. She didn’t get where she was without her favored paddle, fighting seriously. She knew how to maneuver her opponent so she could always strike their butt, in doing so her paddle built up power…it was almost time to end it.

 

Boogeymonster fell some distance before he recovered in the air he faced toward Alex. The whole buffet was ruined, it was anticipated. The magic girl-boy leader said to expect it as such. He was gifted with children who would willingly be eaten on the promise he fought on their side and kept the Rival busy, if they didn't run toward his hungry belly then don't eat them. Yet the Rival would never let it happen so do everything to keep her attention.

 

Alex grasped Ebenezer’s handle like one would to their partner during foreplay. She gazed at its runes which held such a deep purple it was nearly black.

 

“It is about time we wrap this up my forever friend. I have many children who need a good spanking, time out, naps and fresh diapers for the potty trained,” she said. “First I need to squash a bug” she looked at Boogeymonster and she wasn't sure what she was seeing at first. It was as if  he had many different lenses over his large spider eyes. Dark lenses as if they were…

 

…

 

POP

 

…

 

There was a flash of light, it was the sun on earth as it bloomed magnificently and would turn night to day as if the two were wired to a light switch…

 

…

 

Then came the aftershock.

 

The two airborne combatants violently shook around their wings becoming twisted up or burnt before they began to fall. Alex lost her grip on her paddle in the explosion, her eyes burning with a near perfect image of Boogeymonster grinning at her burned into her eyes. She screamed but couldn't hear. She could barely feel the wind whip at her as she hit terminal velocity. She barely felt the ground as she came down upon it.

 

Kylie stumbled to get up. Her nerves yelled at her to not move. She ignored them and cast out a net of powder that began to quickly heal her injuries.

 

“Kylie you ok?” Josh grunted as he picked himself up and dusted himself off. “I thought you were going to do a weak one?!”

 

“That was weak,” Kylie gasped.

 

“Kylie…never do a big one…” Josh added, “I don't know how anything survived that” he said looking across the battlefield, everyone was shaken but not harmed.

 

“I wanted a big flash, big boom and not be harmed in it,” Kylie said. Those who didn't have a pair of sunglasses were now rolling on the ground holding their eyes, screaming from the pain.

 

“Come on, let's move before they recover, Paul can handle ordering the troops” the two quickly scrambled up and headed for the castle.

 

They were close, it had to be in the castle, a small little sticky note, or some archaic scroll with only a few lines on it. Whichever form Alex decided to use for it. One little spell noted down just in case she forgot, who was to say if Alex had perfect memory or not. They were betting on not, or her pride set it up like a trophy she could hold high and gloat over. Sure…the many powerful demons were sick of being summoned to the mortal realm, it was embarrassing for a powerless mortal to have control over a powerful being. Yet a human soul was worth its weight in power…they were still sought after.

 

BOOM

 

From The skies, like a meteor, came two bodies. Alex knelt before the gates, paddle slowly raising above her head. Across her knee was the writhing form of the Boogeymonster, he screamed as her blanket wings wrapped tightly around every part of him, his abdomen raised high.

 

“Shh, Shh…it's ok…it will all be over soon” she said so softly. “Ebenezer Von Spank…Sing with me, Piano Sonata Number Two” the abyss black runes began to hum the sorrowful melody.

 

“Goodnight, Sleep Tight, Don't Let the Bed Bugs Bite.” Alex sang the phrase. While the runes grew and enveloped the paddle making it as void black as they were. The holes were like black holes sucking up everything and the light around them.

 

“And if they do, then Take your Shoe and Beat them until they are Black and Blue.” The paddle high above her head now. Her arm arched to help guide the paddle; Ebenezer Von Spank, the blade of a guillotine who only had one path to go.

 

“Αντίο” The paddle came down, it swallowed everything in its path creating a black nothingness in its wake all to come toward the backside of the Boogeymonster.

 

SPANK

 

Boogeymonster gave out a scream as the force collided with him. His body began to break down, turning to dust being sent flying off into the daycare, yet at the same time he was sucked into the paddle, into the void. He was torn apart in two directions yet all was soon absorbed into the paddle.

 

The magical shields on Kylie and Josh had activated. They watched the display and were scared of being next, the urge to cry and beg mommy not to spank them next gripped at them, they wanted to be good babies and not be spanked like that.  Kylie reinforced the barrier yet it did little to ease the feeling, the urge to be good for mommy.

 

Boogeymonster's screams were the last thing to be absorbed. The darkness slowly ebbed away. Alex stood and glared down at the two children.

 

“Young Lady…” mommy demanded her attention. Their eyes met, mommy’s eyes were red from her little prank earlier she was mad! “I am going to give you until the count of Three to lower that barrier and come here, no two and a half's, or quarters, I am going straight to Three…One!” mommy was serious, there was no way she could avoid her spanking. No begging or acting cute she was going to be spanked and hard, not as hard as the Boogeymonster but her butt was going to be red for years. “Two!” Kylie raised her hand to drop the shield, Josh wasn't helping he was just as paralyzed with fear as she was. Kylie watched as Mommy opened her mouth for three…

 

***SLAM!!!***

 

From out of nowhere a ramshackle of a cabin appeared; it sent Alex flying across the field breaking whatever spell was around them. From the porch stood Besie.

 

“MOMMY!” Kylie cheered seeing Besie.

 

“Hey kiddo, I won't get another sucker punch like that, so you be sure to finish this up ok?”

 

“We will!” Kylie agreed. With that the cabin vanished the dark figure of Alex high in the sky and flying quickly toward.

 

“In the castle, in the castle now!” Josh screamed, pulling Kylie with him. They slammed the doors behind them and headed into the halls. Here Mother had the advantage. It was three years ago she began to only let her most favored children in. The Naughty Kids had been causing a ruckus sneaking in or not and causing problems. So many times Mother had brought them in to punish only to quickly be let out after too many playpen breaks she made a rule that any new kids must first be introduced or be tattled on immediately.

 

“Sure we can't scream her name right now?” Josh asked.

 

“Would be a good time, but no, I want to be able to see across all of the daycare that all the portals are opening up, I am not giving her an inch to try something just in case.” Kylie said. “Let's go”

 

The two walked down the halls with one destination in mind.

 

Chapter 31: Reunited

 

The castle had changed in the five years they had been gone. Nothing was terribly different but the rooms had altered. Once the castle was made for anyone and everyone to come and enjoy being close to their Mother, now each room was designed for each favorite child individually.

 

There was only one room they wanted though. They wished hard for it, Not Alex, or Mommy or Mother, they wanted the room that belonged to Lambda De’Fillion.

 

“What about Lilly and Matt?” Josh asked as they ran up a set of steps.

 

“Alex will bring them to us once we have control,” Kylie said. “Right now we can't get distracted”

 

“Hey you two!” A voice shouted at them. Kylie and Josh stopped and looked over at a girl dressed in a strawberry dress which was too short to hide the pink diaper she wore. Her hair was short but just long enough for a pair of pigtails that she spotted on top of her head and she carried a little stuffed gorilla.  Kylie grabbed Josh’s wrist.

 

“We don't have time, run!” Kylie said and the two ran. The little girl also ran after calling after them.

 

“Wait, Kywee, Josh, it's me Maddie!” The girl yelled. “It's me Maddie!” She said a little more flustered and she called again a bit more frustrated than last. “Josh I am gonna kick your bottom and make Kywee spit sugar on your Xbox!”

 

This made Josh pause for a moment as he looked back at the girl who struggled to climb the steps fast enough. Once she reached the top she crawled a bit further before getting on her feet and toddling after them. In all the world and even Hell only one person had made such a threat as Kylie spitting her sucker juice into his game systems.

 

“Matt?!” He asked.

 

“Josh, we don't have time!” Kylie said, trying to pull him along. Yet he shrugged her off.

 

“Kylie it's Matt though!” Josh said and walked toward the little girl.

 

“I know! But Alex could be in her room right now. We need to move!”

 

“Glad I caught up to you guys!” Maddie said. “I missed you so much! I knew you wouldn't leave me behind, there is something wrong with Lilly she is all into this stuff!”

 

“We know, we are going to undo all of this soon”

 

“You know?” Maddie asked.

 

“Of course they know” came another voice higher up on the stairs. At the top was Lilly dressed in a green dress with a picture of a  cartoon giraffe. Her diaper was happily on display and from the indicators and bulk of it; needed a change. “They knew ever since they abandoned you here all those years ago!”

 

“They didn't ababadan me!” Maddie struggled with the words.

 

“Look we’re sorry we left for so long but we are literally undoing it all right now, so we don't have time for this!” Kylie said, marching up the stairs but Lilly pulled on a cord and several balls began to descend down the stairs. Kylie stopped as the small ones began to flood her path she set up a barrier as larger heavier ones bounded toward her.

 

Lilly made a gesture and with a snap of her finger the stairs changed to a slide and Lilly quickly tumbled down the steps.

 

“How the?!” Kylie and Josh looked up at Lilly who smiled down at them. “You can use magic?!” She asked.

 

“Do you think I have only been enjoying this paradise, no, Mommy has taught me many things in the time you have been away.” Lilly performed another spell and with a snap made a puff of smoke, the smoke slowly dissipated revealing flying diapers. “Mommy will be so proud of me when I have you two diapered” she said.

 

“We don't have time for this, Josh do the thing!” Kylie said, readying her own spell. Josh looked toward the transformed Matt.

 

“Kylie we can't, they're our friends” Josh said.

 

“Damn it Josh we talked about this!” Kylie yelled and fended off some diapers.

 

“Josh, come on!” Lilly called. Josh looked up his once girlfriend. “We can be together again. Mommy will let us grow up one day and we can do all the things we planned then” she said. A set of stairs formed between her and Josh. Josh looked over at Kylie who was trying to fight off a set of diapers that clung to her legs and were trying to crawl up to her waist.

 

“Josh, a little help!” Kylie called. He then took that first step. “Josh! what are you doing?” Kylie asked. A second step…then a third.

 

“Kylie…I am tired,” Josh said. “That's my girlfriend! That's my best friend!” He said pointing to the respective person he called out.

 

“Josh?” Kylie stopped fighting and she felt the diapers slowly work their way to securing her.

 

“Kylie…it has been five years and after seeing this! If I have to fight my friends….I just don't have it in me.” He said as he continued to slowly go up the stairs. “it has always been an option to submit to all this. Lilly likes it! So it must be fun!”

 

“I don't like it!” Maddie yelled.

 

“Because you want that dumb life. Look at this!” He said casting a quick barrier spell then getting rid of it. “We can do magic! We can play all we want! Video games are a thing here; we can play them all day! We can play football or whatever we want! Why bother with the grind and effort of adult life when we can retire and have it all and more!” Josh said as he reached the top to look at Lilly, she was adorable in that dress.

 

“I am glad you can see it my way Josh” Lilly said and the two moved into a tight hug. It had been so long since they could hold each other like this.

 

That was it now…without Josh to help her Kylie was fighting a losing battle. She stopped fighting back entirely felt as the diaper ate away at her clothes like acid and began to secure itself in its rightful place ready to squeeze at her and urge her to use it like the baby she was meant to be.

 

Then it stopped…convulsed a bit and dropped to the floor and poofed away in a cloud.

 

Time had slowed as Kylie and Maddie watched Josh and Lilly go flying out the window.

 

Josh had done the thing. He had pretended to give up so he could get close to Lilly and in a split second. Three both him and her out the window. The confused shock of it all made Lilly drop her spell. Then the two were gone.

 

They would be fine of course something would catch them or the floor would just be super bouncy for a bit. There was no getting hurt inside the daycare unless it was an abandoned sector, or done by someone.

 

The stairs returned to normal and Kylie fixed her pants before she took the opportunity to go up the stairs.

 

“Kywee wait for mee!” Maddie called. Climbing the steps on her hands and knees struggling with every step. Kylie stopped and looked down at her once boyfriend. Time was out, either help the little girl along or run ahead now…there wasn't an option really…

 

“I'll be back Matt! I am going to undo all of this! I'm sorry?” She said and rushed up the stairs. The little girl calling out for her as she got further away.

 

The doors were an impressive sight. Gates to be exact. They towered above all at a height to make anyone feel like a small child. A large across the top for all to read as they announced “Mommy's Room” Kylie pushed st the doors and summoned several gummy bears to help. Slowly the gates creaked open and soon she pushed her way inside.

 

The bedroom…was not here. Before Kylie was a throne room. Alex’s throne a rocking chair made of stone and wood. The Greek letter for L, Lambda carved right above her head. Sat at the far end of the room. Between the gates and it were several crib's each a different style but all designed to face toward the throne, mobiles easily watched upon as well as each baby to watch. Floating around them were changing pads, powder, pacifiers, bottles, rattles, story books and of course diapers. Each one ready to care for the baby in the crib.

 

“I have been waiting,” Alex said gently, rocking in her throne. Kylie cursed internally she knew she was out of time as soon as Lilly got in the way, as soon as Matt showed up even. It wasn't over but damn if it wasn't gonna be a nightmare to get through. “Do you want to go to my Bedroom?” It is just over there” Alex said pointing to a door that sat behind her throne. “But babies are not allowed in there” she stood. “Babies belong in here”, she gestured to the cribs on either side of her. They turned toward Kylie one side of their bars lowering offering to her to climb inside. “I forgive you baby. It is a mother's duty to forgive her children. You don't understand the world and certain concepts are lost to you. Punishment needs to be given while they are still fresh so you learn the rights and wrongs.” She said, “I will forgive you, just get on all fours, walking is still very difficult for a baby like you. Mommy will put you back into your diapers, I won't breastfeed you, I'll give you a chance to still be a good baby” she said sweetly.

 

“Oh? Mommy is here…I thought I was just visiting Grammy alone, are you going to change my diapers….Grammy” kylie said punctuating the word. Alex’s eye visibly twitched, far worse than when someone swore. With a wave of her hands the cribs and baby paraphernalia absorbed if to the walls. Flames of pink and blue rose up on the sides of the walls dim yellow pictures of stars and moons and cows jumping over them littered the walls and ceiling.

 

“What was the plan exactly?” Alex spat her gentle tone gone, now she was angry. “You try and feed that damned tick make him stronger so he can eat all the children across the realms? You hurt my children for what, so you can have a private audience with me? What you think yourself a big enough girl you want to get into my bed. Is that how big your oedipal complex is?” Alex asked.

 

“I am going to make you open up a portal to the mortal realm and fix ALL of this!” Kylie said. Alex stood there and punched the bridge of her nose.

 

“All of this for that?!”

 

“Enough portals for all the adults you have trapped here to let them go home and have normal lives!” Alex looked up a bit confused at first then it dawned on her she pantomimed a long “Ohhhh” before grinning.

 

“Oh my sweet little Kylie, my darling baby Baelsebee is a smart girl, she really is, if only she was as baby-crazy as me I might have enjoyed being a…grandma…but really she knows nothing.”

 

“You mean Besie? What do you mean?”

 

“There can only ever be one portal open to the mortal realm, I cannot open hundreds of portals across all of my daycare. Just one!” Alex said and snapped her finger a large portal opened up showing the little room on the other side. Candles dripping all around a podium where a book sat. “Sweetie demons do not want to be summoned. It means being enslaved to a lesser creature and embarrassment really. I had to face such ridicule once…but look at me now! I can travel back and forth, I am envious of all, some are reconsidering their decision. Yet it is too late, the book is in my grasp” 

 

Kylie was staring through the portal to the book. She needed that if she was going to win.

 

“Now!” Alex said, pulling out Ebenezer Von Spank. “It is time for your spanking”

 

“What happened to me being too small to remember what I did wrong” to which Alex grinned.

 

“I gave you your chance to be a good girl and be forgiven, what I have planned for you though is an eternity of relying on me, you won't know anything else”

 

Kylie summoned forth her peppermint shield and Sugar Daddy sword; she readied them for the next attack.

 

“Oh…doesn't this take you back. You, me and a room with which to fight in. Back when I was leading you to your fate, your destiny, your diapers” Alex said.

 

“You mean how I resisted you, growing stronger to the point I could beat you!” Kylie said. Alex chuckled.

 

“We'll see, we will all see!” Alex said and with a snap of her fingers, Kylie bracing for a spell to hit her, the room widened cribs floated above them and in each of them was a child, each one an important child to Alex. All happy to watch the show she was putting on. There were even some which held key resistance members, Paul was one of them a bit perplexed he was even there. Near Alex’s throne were only a couple of highchairs which sat high standing demons in the daycare, one of course being Aunty Deidra. Regardless of their status no one was old enough for a grownup chair in the presence of Mother.

 

Also near Alex’s throne were three cribs each holding one important person to Kylie; Lilly, Josh and Matt.

 

Josh and Maddie were a bit shocked to suddenly show up in the room. Lilly on the other hand glared down from the crib with a small smile creeping on her lips as she knew that soon Kylie would become a baby.

 

Followed from there were a multitude of cameras of various make and models all aiming to keep Alex and Kylie in their sights.

 

“Now all my children can bear witness just exactly what happens when they don't listen to their Mother, when they disobey ME” Alex announced. She swung her paddle casting a great gust of wind across the room.

 

Kylie braced herself and used her sword to dig into the castle floor to help resist the gale. As the gust died down she rose to her feet, but already there was a great shadow looming over her. Alex had moved and was behind Kylie paddle held high and aiming for her exposed derriere.

 

Kylie turned to her left, shield held lower to protect her butt. The two flat objects collided with a resounding clap however Kylie was sent flying from the sheer force of Alex's attack. Kylie landed curled up on the ground, bottom raised up exposed for Alex.

 

The demoness moved quickly to where Kylie was and swung Ebenezer, aiming for her bottom. Kylie moved her shield to block. The force crushed her I to the ground and the pressure as the paddle was lifted sent Kylie into the air as well. Alex grabbed Kylie by the scruff of her shirt.

 

“I lived nearly an eternity compared to your short life. Faced monsters and old lords the likes of which could have been titled the god of war. I have come out on top in each of those fights. Do you really think you stand a chance?” Alex asked, but the question didn't require an answer. “Now…time to put the baby to bed…huh?” Alex paused and watched as Kylie began to melt in her hand, like marshmallow fluff.

 

Across the room Kylie ran heading for the open portal, wings that looked like fruit roll ups dropped off her back. She had altered her trajectory with them after the first hit, sending a clone one way while she escaped. Alex growled and rushed to catch her but the fluff had began sticking to her hooves moving on its own in an attempt to glue her to the floor. Pink and blue flames burnt the fluff to a harmless char and Alex rushed for Kylie.

 

Kylie was close to the portal, once she was through it she could grab the book and find a way to open many portals, she was sure there was a way. First she caught the distinct smell of burnt sugar. One look over at Alex and she was already looking at the demon’s clawed hand grabbing at her. Kylie swung her sword to parry and was sent off her feet crashing into the castle wall. The wall cushioned her like bounce castle, and then just like one spat her out and into Alex’s awaiting hand.

 

“Now, now sweetie…babies aren't allowed out there, no, no, no” Alex chided.

 

“I am not a baby! We are not all babies!” Kylie yelled.

 

“I beg to differ, you are quite the little baby”

 

“Just because I am smaller than you, just because you can put me in onesies, make me pee myself, force me to act like a baby, all you have done is use your magic to force people to become babies” Kyle said. Alex only grinned.

 

“Oh sweetie, it runs much deeper than that. Yes, I use my magic to influence, but if you were such an adult it wouldn't work nearly as well…the magic intentionally used to not work well anyway. Just look at you and little Lilly, she was barely influenced and if not for her willingly wanting to be a baby she would have become a good babysitter” Alex said.

 

“I call bull,” Kylie growled.

 

“It is true! I am sure you have seen it! The world is full of irresponsible and childish adults who were never raised properly and influenced by childish and irresponsible adults who were in kind raised by the same people or simply neglected. People who think they are entitled to special treatment, people who can't manage simple chores or time or money. They whine and cry about the world being unfair and that they deserve to be treated special, they want to be taken care of. You have seen them I am sure”

 

“I didn't think I was entitled,” Kylie argued

 

“I apologize, all those things can be mutually exclusive, but my point stands. They are just brats and babies in adult bodies. Then you have adults who actually try and the world is so cruel and cold to them that they wish for simpler times. People who all they can do is work day in and out, stress mounting. People with PTSD, trying to forget about it all and they think back to the times when things were easier when the hardest question was, ‘what do I want to play?” Alex said. “Then you think about it, I am the answer, I correct bad behavior, I provide a safe environment and let the worries of adulthood fade away, a demon I may be but I am an angel to the people of the world!” Alex said. Kylie lowered her head.

 

“I can admit I was childish, I neglected my friend and I wanted my boyfriend to take care of me, so I could just sit around and do whatever I wanted” Kylie said.

 

“That's a very big girl thing you did”

 

“But it doesn't give you the right to take away people’s lives!” Kylie yelled and Alex burst out laughing.

 

“This is what I enjoy! What exactly did I take away from you, huh? Your vacation? I took your new toy away and what is it you do? Throw a tantrum!” Alex declared. “You want to go camping?” She asked and with a snap of her finger a portal opened showing the outside world of the Daycare, there was the makings of a fake campsite on the other side, colorful tents, plastic stones with fluttering cloth simulating campfire. “You can make s'mores over that and fall into it without getting hurt…what was next in your vacation? A theme park?” Alex snapped her fingers again and the portal changed showing a small amusement park, all the rides were for babies though, there was a roller coaster but the highest point was about six feet. “I have it all Kylie and you just needed to ask, I can happily give you, your vacation and more”

 

“At the cost of growing up!”

 

“I will admit I don't like letting my babies grow up, they are so cute! It isn't like I will keep you that way forever…just maybe not the first ten thousand years or so.” Alex said.

 

“Like hell I will be your little baby!”

 

“Sweetie, why didn't you appreciate your friends more?”Alex asked a grin on her face.

 

“What?”

 

“Poor little Lilly only wanted a break from the stress of work, but then there is you, making her play mother and only adding to the frustration by making her clean after you, getting you to eat healthy and be on time for school or work”

 

“I get it! If anyone deserves to be in this hell it is me! But I am going to correct all of it, I'll do better”

 

“Then you also steal her boyfriend” Alex said as if she heard nothing Kylie said.

 

“What?!”

 

“I know it might be a bit early, but you did spend the last five years with him, did you not? With your history and the fact you both did enter puberty again I wouldn't doubt if your hormones kicking back in would have your feelings changed. The adventures you had, a night cuddles together, a pair of young teens with a close history, practicing kissing again, or perhaps sneaking into each other's rooms and sharing the bed.” Kylie sheepishly lowered her head.

 

“We didn't do any-” Josh yelled but was quickly silenced by a pacifier.

 

“We did think about it, yeah, we did make out once, because yes, we were like twenty in that cabin and we were horny, but it got weird…like two step-siblings who spent more time seeing each other as brother and sister. Plus the lives we wanted to live with Lilly and Matt, the guilt crushed us.” Alex grinned even wider, it was time for the coup de grâce.

 

“Then poor Matt,” Alex said. Kylie glared up at Alex. “Five years you spent without seeing him. Five long years he has spent wanting to see you, having to play like a little baby girl, my cute Maddie!” Alex looked over at Maddie with a loving smile and returned to Kylie with a menacing grin.

 

“I am going to save him and everyone!”

 

“But all this time sweetie and what did you do after seeing him?” She asked but a response wasn’t needed. “You didn’t embrace him, you didn't check on his well being, No, you ditched him!”

 

“I didn't have time!” Kylie yelled tears in her eyes.

 

“Ran off leaving him chasing after you crying to wait up. He missed you and you abandon him”

 

“You think I wanted to!” Kylie screamed the guilt rushing over her and soon came pouring down her eyes. She dropped her weapons and held her hands to her face. “I was there and I saw him, I didn't want to believe that it was him, that little girl, but I knew it was him! I didn't want to leave him. I knew if he showed up it would be hard to explain, I wanted to see him at the end of all this.” Kylie cried.

 

Slowly Alex approached and gently knelt down and wrapped her arms and wings around Kylie as she cried. 

 

“There there” Alex softly said and held Kylie out a bit from her. “All can be forgiven and all can be right, Mommy’s here” she said. She gently lifted the crying girl’s head up with one hand and with the other pushed a pacifier into her mouth. Kylie gently suckled on it. Calming down a bit. “There’s a good girl” Alex caresed Kylie’s face and leaned in. “You can have your friends back, have that little vacation you planned and more. You just need to show Mommy, that you’re not ready for the potty, that you need your diapers”.

 

Kylie could feel her bladder was full she knew she could hold it, but that wasn't the game. She closed her eyes and suckled heavily in the pacifier as she gave in and let her urine flow into her pants.

 

“Aww look at that little puddle you made, not such a big girl after all” Alex teased but spoke gently, motherly. Kylie was picked up and cradled in Alex’s arms carried to the center of the room where she placed on a changing table. Cameras all around them as Kylie was undressed. Pacifier bobbed back and forth in her mouth as she was handled a stuffed chipmunk. She held it close but didn't bother trying to hide herself. Alex gently cleaned her up before presenting and sliding a pink diaper under her, lifting her legs to make it easier. By all the lords and ladies of hell did she feel small. Baby powder was heavily applied around her crotch. The sweet smell that came with a fresh diaper. The diaper was pulled up between her legs and with two tapes was secured. Alex made double sure that the leg holes were tight and the waist wasn’t bunched up. Before she gave the diaper a pat.

 

“There doesn't that feel much better, baby?” Alex asked and Kylie nodded.

 

“Yesh Mommy” Kylie said. Kylie was then dressed in a fuzzy footed sleeper and gently picked up. The cribs that held her friends settled down and Kylie was brought with Alex who sat upon her rocking throne. Kylie was gently rocked as Alex pulled up a baby bottle and replaced the pacifier with the nipple. Kylie sucked at the bottle relishing the sweet milk. Alex smiled and looked up at all the cameras which broadcasted to everyone her victory. This was the fate for all in the daycare who opposed her, it was inevitable really.

 

Kylie still had something more to give, with a small push she filled her diaper with a brown mess eliciting a smile from Alex before returning to finish her bottle.

 

“Good baby let it all out” Alex said. Since Kylie was done with her bottle her pacifier was put back in and gently rocked to sleep.

 

“Laba wababa blobba doobloo” Kylie murmured. Alex couldn't help but giggle at it.

 

“My goodness such baby babble, I actually didn't quite catch that sweetie” Alex said and removed the pacified.

 

“I'd jush shaid” Kylie sweetly smiled relaxing into her role as a baby, drunk off the sweet milk, she hoped for a diaper changed but maybe first make it warm and wet first. She loved her mommy and diaper changes. “Lambda De’Fillion, Thy Command Thee!” Kylie spoke with full authority.

 

And then the room went Silent.

 

Chapter 32: The End

 

Etiquette and manners be damned, Lambda stood up, dropping her baby Kylie to the floor. Like she was a rotten maggot infested carcas. Kylie saved herself and quickly rose to meet the demon. Bright runes appeared in the air, yellow, white and blue sigils appeared, Lambda tried to counter them but her own pink and blue sigils turned sides before them. The many sigils spat out large iron shackles that foisted themselves upon the demoness’ wrists, ankles and neck. The demoness noble tried to tear them off clawed at them to shrapnel, but they held fast and were not even scuffed at her attempts. Chains floated about and became taught as they sank into thin air. Lambda stood before her new mistress a chaotic storm of pink and blue flames around her.

 

“Gotcha!” Kylie laughed. Lambda could only sneer at her. “As my first command, I want you to clean me up, I am done being in a dirty diaper.” Kylie said. She expected a snap of the demoness’ finger but instead she approached. Kylie was picked up and quickly placed in the changing . “Stop, this isn't what I want!” Kylie demanded.

 

“I am afraid I am confused...Mistress…” Lambda spat the title like it's very being was a slur, but she couldn't resist. “You wanted to be cleaned up and out of that dirty diaper, I only know one way to do so” Lambda said with venom in her voice.

 

“Proceed” Kylie growled. Kylie was quickly undressed and her dirty diaper removed and then wiped up. Lambda then began to grab a new diaper.

 

“Stop!” Kylie commanded but the demoness didn't stop. Kylie’s legs were lifted the diaper slid under her, baby powder applied and then taped back up.

 

“Done!” Lambda said with a smile. Kylie was plucked from the changing table and set back done on her feet. She now only wore her diaper.

 

“I didnt want a new diaper I wanted my adult clothes!”

 

“Oh? You didn't say that you did, and I am afraid I had to overrule you not needing a new diaper, you were after all wearing a dirty diaper, YOU, pooped in.” Lambda grinned.

 

“You can't overrule me I am in command now!” Kylie said.

 

“You don't know all the rules…and you forgot I am a noble…Mistress Baby” Lambda said.

 

“Fine!” Kylie went to remove the diaper but as soon as her fingers touched it, it was like she forgot how exactly to get out of it. She knew she could remove the tape or even just slide it off, but somehow when she touched it, she couldn't figure out how those steps were done.”

 

“What did you do?!”

 

“I changed your diaper…Mistress Baby” Lambda hated how she had to call her Mistress.

 

“To the diaper, why can't I take it off?!”

 

“Babies don't know how to take off their diaper. Mistress clearly needs diapers, so I enchanted the diaper to make sure you needed someone else to change you”

 

“Tch, so get someone else to get me out of it”

 

“Allow me to clarify first Mistress, the diaper is enchanted so that if anyone changes your diaper, it is for a diaper change. They themselves cannot stop midway, and best of all there will always be a fresh diaper with changing supplies right next to them.” Lambda said. “Allow me to also tell you, That while you can command me and I have to follow orders” Lambda added “I too have power over you…while I must obey should I think it in your best interest I may NOT obey your instructions to the letter, so long as harm does not befall you and it isn't in my own interest.”

 

“You put me in a magic diaper, that is totally in your interest!”

 

“Mistress…Much like making a wish with a djinni, or signing a contract with a devil, there are loopholes in your command. Are you not out of your dirty diaper?”

 

“But you made it magical, I didn't want that”

 

“I am a noble dear, my power is vastly superior to yours, yes, you hold the theoretical leash, but I can pull back on the other end. You are not so well versed in magical arts to be able to have full control…a literal baby against an expert in their field”

 

“You have to obey me!”

 

“We both know you won't be able to command me for long, so I thought it important that if I can't change your diaper, someone would need to, and just as well that since you would most likely want out best not to let you, incase you had an accident”

 

“I command you to open a portal to the Mortal realm!” Lambda’s good humor or what was there was now gone. With a sigh she snapped her finger and opened a portal next to Kylie. Not giving the demoness a chance to stop her Kylie began to walk toward the portal, yet it moved. At the last second. Lambda twirled her finger around in the same direction the portal moved, smirking the whole time.

 

“Keep it still!” Kylie demanded.

 

“I can't let a little diaper wearing girl go somewhere where there isn't an adult, what if you have an accident?” Lambda grinned and held out her hand. “Take Mommy's hand now” frustrated at this game she played, Kylie did so and the two walked through the portal.

 

As before it was like stepping into another room. The warmth of the castle now an abandoned cold. Kylie slipped from Lambda’s hand and quickly snatched up the book. She opened it and flipped through the many pages of rituals. Somewhere in it had to be spells other than summons.

 

“What's the matter, Mistress Baby, can't find what you are looking for?”

 

“Will you shut up, there can't be just how to summon demons, how else could it tell you how to open the portal?”

 

“It is a ritual book sweetie…you open the portal by performing a ritual, I had to take a day just to open one for myself, when I first got the book, I had to makeshift a simpler one so I could open it at will, then perfect that so I could just snap my fingers to open it.”

 

“There are other spells!” Kylie insisted. “Like this one” Kylie held up a page, the one that could send Lambda back to her realm and seal her from the mortal realm. Lambda’s smile faded and she leaned down. To look at the page her eyes lit a flame then died down. Her eyes held confusion with her face of concern.

 

“Mistress, if you are holding something, there is nothing there…I love when my little-ones play pretend, but I will not accept it this time.” She said with a stern voice. Her hands moved to her hips.

 

“Good, probably made so you can't destroy it or something” Kylie said she read over the page memorizing the spell. She was nearing the end when…

 

Crash

 

One of the shackles binding Lambda had broken, shattered like glass which fizzled to dust before dying out to nothing. Lambda stretched her arm out twister her wrist about as if she had been cramped in a box for weeks.

 

“Time is running out” Lambda grinned.

 

“Release my friends!” Kylie demanded. Lambda snapped her fingers. On the other side of the portal Lilly, Josh and Maddie were let out of their cribs. “Undo the enchantment on my diaper, '' she added. Lambda actually scoffed at this one. She snapped again. Apparently that was always possible.

 

Crash

 

One ankle was free and she shook her hoof. Kylie needed to think fast, she didn't have as much time as she thought.

 

“Change Matt back to himself” Lambda snapped her finger and there was a puff of smoke, Matt didn't look any different but his hair was shorter.

 

Crash

 

Her other wrist was free now. She rubbed at it a bit before grabbing at the collar and pulling at it before it broke. Her power regaining and Kylie’s dwindling the shackles were a trifle to break on her own.

 

“I tire of this, my little baby, it is well past your din dins, and I know you are hungry” Lambda said emphasizing where dinner came from by caressing one of her breasts.

 

“Let my friends-”

 

Crash

 

The last shackle broke signifying the end of Kylie’s command over her.

 

“We can do this the easy way” Lambda said a snap of her finger and she sat upon her throne. She pulled out a small towel over her shoulder and unbuttoned her shirt, ready to start breastfeeding. “Or the hard way” flames erupted around the room melting the candles that floated about. “Either way, you are going to be fed this way and only this way, so come to Mommy, Now!” Lambda demanded.

 

“No!” Kylie yelled clinging to the book as if it held the answers. She wasn't done yet she needed to get her friends through the portal, at least her friends.

 

Lambda rolled her eyes and stood up. “I know it is hard to understand my baby and I understand the appeal of being in your terrible twos, but you are just an infant, a newborn, you know nothing but Mommy's love and warmth.” Lambda didn't approach as Kylie stepped back. The flames scorched around them. “You have until the count of three to get your diapered butt over here young lady” Lambda threatened.

 

“One” the magic began to tug at Kylie, Mommy was mad and Kylie needed to go to her so she wouldn't be mad. Kylie held fast.

 

“LAMBDA DE’FILLION!” Kylie screamed over the roaring flames and the fear for Mommy's wrath.

 

“TWO!” Lambda yelled back more infuriated than before she was not going to be under a baby’s command again.

 

“Mla ersih tmor fuoy tcej eri!” Kylie yelled Just as Lambda said…

 

“THREE!” Lambda yelled just as Kylie ended her own.

 

Lambda began to storm over toward Kylie just as there was a loud crack the portal turned a horrible shade of red and began to fluctuate wildly between all the colors of the spectrum slowly speeding up until it was nothing more than a disgusting white light.

 

Lambda had finally stomped up to Kylie, the little girl now scared of what mommy was going to do to her. Lambda reached to grab at her collar but her talon-like hand never reached Kylie.

 

It was as if there was a force pulling it back, and there was. The portal was a doorway in outer space and it was open now, trying to balance the pressure of the room. It only affected the Noble Demoness however.

 

Try as she might Lambda planted her hoofs into the floor but little by little they slid and the vacuum only pulled harder the more she struggled. She dug her talon like nails into the floor but that too was fruitless she only ripped up the floor as she was dragged closer and closer to the portal. Lambda reached out with one hand to grab Kylie, she wasn't going to be banished from the mortal plane without her, she would win this game of theirs. In the end it was her undoing. The portal began to go into overdrive and Lambda was soon sent flying backwards and spat out on the other side. Without a force against her she zoomed back to the portal but slammed into it as if it was glass. She pressed hard on it but it didn't budge. She gazed from the other side, anger burning around her. The portal stopped glowing white and began to slowly fizzle.

 

Lambda reached outward trying to use some of her magic to stop the portal from closing. It became clear very quickly there was no fighting back. Her anger was gone like a blown candle. Horror filled her face as she looked at the very babyish Kylie on the other side.

 

“Kylie come here, please!” Lambda gasped. It was the first time Kylie saw her terrified, well and truly.

 

“No…” Kylie said.

 

“Kylie! You are just a baby, please come here come to mom-just come here please!”

 

“No”

 

“I'll undo it all, you and your friends, no more babying, I have a sister who can house you, you can have a normal adult life”

 

“I want to be in this realm, not that one!” she insisted. “Bring my friends to this one and undo it all”

 

“Kylie I can't, I can't cross the portal, so they can't either, My magic is being drained from there. I only have enough time and power for one of you, please baby! I mean Kylie!”

 

“No! I want to go home, I want to be with my family! I want my life back!”

 

“You can have it!” Lambda pleaded. “I can pull some strings ask some favors we can turn back time so you can have it all back, it's just the portal to the mortal realm might take some time”

 

“No! I want it now!” Kylie demanded stomping her foot.

 

At this point the portal was nothing more than a window and quickly closing. Lambda was frantic her baby on some other side of a closing portal doomed to be lost on the other side for the foreseeable eternity.

 

“Kylie!” Lambda screamed like a desperate mother watching her child in on-comimg traffic that wasn’t going to slow. “Now before it is too late, please my baby, my child, you won't survive, there are no people around for miles, only I allow people down that road! you're just a baby you’ll….” The last word she dared not say.

 

Kylie held up her middle finger “Fuck you” she spoke quietly.

 

Lambda looked at her with a look of disbelief, as if she had been shot. The portal was nearly closed. In a last ditch effort. Lambda summoned all her power and shoved her hand through first it was like glass but that glass began to bend and mold around Lambda the portal desperate to contain every part of her on the other side. There was a pop as her hand finally broke through to the other side, with all her power she snapped and quickly retreated before the portal could cut off her arm. Angry at her defiance it shut instantly, clipping off a claw on the process, the only part that remained.

 

The room was dark, save for one candle that lay on the ground among a pool of wax and burnt out flames. What magic this room held was gone now.

 

Kylie stood up looking at where the portal was and where the claw laid, it glowed faintly of pink and blue with the demoness’ magic still inside. Kylie grabbed the book and did her best to carry it. It was heavy, a bit too heavy for her arms and after the third attempt to pick it up and carry it she dropped it, she decided to leave it. In the basement a light was on, helping her find her way to the stairs. As she approached suddenly the light broke!

 

In that momentary darkness there were two things, the light at the top of the steps and the fear of something in the basement ready to get her.

 

“Y-you’re dead, I saw it!” She said, staring up the steps. There was no reply but she could hear that chittering growl.

 

“I aM ETerNaL, LitTlE bOy LiTtLE gIRl, I aM thE fIRsT fEaR in ChIldREn, THe preDAtoR in DaRKnESs, the MonSTER unDEr ThE BeD, thE THinG iN tHE ClOSeT, I aM WhAT yOu RUn FroM aT tHe bOtTom oF thE StaIRs wHEn yoU TuRN ofF thE lIGhT” the Boogeymonster said. “NoW RUN”

 

Kylie scrambled up the stairs as best as her diapered bottom could. She could feel the Boogeymonster chasing her, she only needed to get to the top before he could get her.

 

As she scrambled into the hallway where the light was she looked back down the basement stairs. There was nothing there, no monster chasing her, like always. Yet the shadows seemed to shift about as if something moved away from sight.

 

Tired Kylie crawled to the living room and fell onto the couch. A place where it all began. She looked up at the cabinets where many favored toys were kept. All of them were gone. Kylie looked around the room. Every toy was gone, Lambda had gathered every toy for her babies back home. Save for one. A stuffed chipmunk that sat near the door of the house, an open door that led outside. Kylie wandered over and picked up Checkers. In the end Lambda still loved her, like all her children, adopted, foster or otherwise.

 

“Come on Checkers…we gotta a long road ahead of us” Kylie said and walked out the door. She walked down the driveway and into the road back the way they had taken.

 

Kylie felt a pain in her tummy and with a small strain it was gone, but her diaper weighed her down a bit more, Mommy would change it later. Mommy who was back home wherever that was now. Back where Matt, Lilly and Josh now were. Her friends were gone. She gave them up cause she wanted to be in this realm, who knew if Lambda would do good on her word though. Then again it was probably better than now. Now when she needed a diaper change, when she needed a hug, and a baba.

 

There was a light ahead, maybe it was a portal back to mommy?

 

The growl of the tires slowed to a stop and a door opened.

 

“Oh my goodness come here baby!” a voice called from the light, a bit panicked from seeing a baby in the road then the figure blocked the light and picked her up. It wasn't Mommy's voice but Kylie was happy to have someone hold her. Kylie was brought into the car and held close to the lady.

 

“The hell is a baby doing in the road” a man.

 

“Dale! Language in front of the baby”

 

“Phew! Is that her?” Dale asked.

 

“Yes, she is a stinky girl” the lady cooed at Kylie.

 

They drove down the road back towards home. The lady shushed and cooed at Kylie asking questions Kylie was too tired to answer.

 

“There's a house, she might be from there, there’s some lights on” Dale said. They pulled into the driveway and got out. “Doors wide open, no wonder she got out” Dale mentioned.

 

“That was a far distance for her to travel, I swear I am calling CPS on her mother!” The lady said.

 

“Hello?!” They called into the empty house. The two began to search the place, finding it abandoned.

 

“Who would abandon a child!” The lady exclaimed.

 

Kylie held Checkers close, snuggling into his soft fur. She wanted her mommy, she wanted to see her friends. Kylie whimpered a bit. As Dale continued to search the house the lady took Kylie around as well finding some changing supplies, she changed Kylie before returning downstairs to the kitchen to find something to feed her.

 

Dale returned shortly after the lady had a bottle ready for Kylie.

 

“There is a shit-ton of wax down in the basement, like all melted?”

 

“Dale!” The lady hissed.

 

“She don't understand what I am sayin’” Dale scoffed.

 

“Babies pick up on that stuff so don't fill her head with it all.” the lady said. After her bottle the couple packed some things up. Figuring the occupants left. A baby seat was installed in their car and supplies gathered before they left the house.

 

On their way home Kylie noticed something in Dale’s pocket, it was obsidian in nature and a faint glow of pink and blue. Kylie noted next to her in the diaper bag Dale dropped off was a book, bound in a very disturbing leather. Kylie stared at it a moment, then looked over at Dale's pocket. If the book brought Lambda into this world, what could her claw do? These thoughts needed to be on hold, a full belly of milk and the gentle rumble of the car soon put Kylie to sleep.

 

Chapter 33: Epilogue…

 

On that day came what would be known as The Big Sad. In all her eons of living and mothering. Mother had lost a child never knowing if her last bit of magic guided parental figures to her. Never knowing if she survived.

 

At first, Mother comforted all her children and found comfort in them. She hardly let the sitters or family take care of them or play with the children. Doing so sometimes ended up in them being regressed and then comforted. In this time it was nearly impossible for the Naughty Kids to move. Yet escapes were attempted…that only caused her to go mad with overprotectiveness. What were once locations abandoned across the vast domain of Mother’s land were once again put into full operation. That wasn't simply the end of it however, they were adapted into each other. Creating deceptive, intricate and terrifying new ways to babify those who resisted Mother’s Will.

 

Pockets of the resistance still hold out against Mother hoping beyond hope that they will be rescued. For many others they gave up after their promise was broken, either they simply allowed themselves to become babies or began to help babify other Naughty Kids

 

Having their promise broken however and seeing the great power that both the Boogeyman and BoogeyMonster held in the battle, a cult in worship of the two began. Cult of the Oogey Boogey they call themselves. They were granted strange dark powers to aid their resistance and goal to revive the Boogeymonster so he may swallow us all to salvation.

 

Lilly became one of Mother's best girls. Her powers are powerful and terrifying, only subverted by her desire to be a baby. Like any of Mother's children Lilly is dedicated to helping Mother turn people into babies without question. Matt on the other hand felt betrayed by his once girlfriend. He struck a deal with mother to help her if she allowed him to grow up once again. A deal was struck, so long as he hunts down children who resist mother's will she won't turn him into a baby and so Matt the Hunter was born, he and those given to him to command look for us Naughty Kids everyday.

Commander Paul along with Commander Josh continued to fight against Mother with hope that Grand Wizard Kylie would return. Though the future looks grim for us all. We do what we can if nothing more than to show that Mother is not all powerful. Many new recruits show promise in the arts of magic and that has helped us in many ways. We can fight back against the sitters and family and hold off against Mother herself even, her powers are grand but even she cannot focus on more than one spot for long. She has allowed many of her children to grow up becoming sitters and Family members alike to help maintain control over her domain.

 

As Mother continues to retake control over her domain and bring forth great and powerful babify creations, she has also begun to speak with other noble demons and take an active part in the realms of Hell. The days she leaves gives us a moment to expand our resistance, recover our troops and fight back harder. Intelligence has told us that Mother had gone off to another meeting of the nobles, but something was wrong with the portal and Mother acted very strange to its appearance. We can only speculate what that means but rumors have begun and they are hard to ignore we may just have a chance to leave this place for good, or we may be seeing the last days of our resistance, yet when Mother has been gone for longer than a meeting should go for we can only hope that Mother has gone back to the Mortal Realm.

 

We hope she succeeds, for it will be her downfall…

Thank you to all who have been waiting...I hope you have enjoyed this story.

There will be more in the future as I continue to work to improve my writing and story telling!

[YourDiapersCute]

Absolutely loved this story. The juxtaposition of Mother wanting to be perceived as a caring parental figure, but also letting her children be eaten by boogie, or throwing her "baby" to the ground was top tier.

You're concern about the ending is something I agree with. It feels like something was missing, but I understand how a firm resolution wouldn't have felt entirely realistic either.

All told, you did an amazing job and I'm looking forward to your next piece.

[aldl4811]

wow, this was a real masterpiece. so much hard work and effort. thank you!
