Blu: Everything Changes, Part 2

Nothing else to do, Blu walked down the grassy hill, down into the stony barren valley below, intent on reaching the distant tower, rising high into the air, bright, almost glowing in the soft green sunlight..

But between her and it lay the deep valley of dark gray; gingerly, Blu walked down through the grass where it grew sparser and sparser, until it gave way to gravel. Blu winced as she walked on bare feet across the sarp gravel, then onto bare gray rock.

She picked her way carefully further down into the valley, trying to avoid the patches of sharper rocks for the smoother areasshe could walk without hurting her feet. But it was slow going: before long, a thin layer of sweat covered her naked skin; she shone in the green sunlight, and her breath came fast and hard, rasping in her ears.

It was about mid-morning when she started walking; by the time the green sun stood overhead, she could barely walk, and Blu staggered to a large rounded rock andcollapsed on it, sitting slumped over, her bare breasts rising and falling as her lungs heaved for breath.

She was thirsty and hungry, but she had nothing, not even a stitch of clothing, and the bare rocks promised nothing.

So she sat and tried to breathe, squinting her eyes againstthe bright light, trying to see how much was left to go.

Then she felt like she was being watched; she felt someone’s gaze resting on her; she looked around and saw not someone, but something, watching her.

It was shaped something like a man, but long and lean, covered in dark greenish-grayscales and with a long whipcord-thin tail that trailed behind it. It had long thin ears that sprouted either side of its head, and it stared at her out of slitted yellow eyes.

Blu rose to her feet, staring at this strange apparition nervously; she had no idea what it was or what it wanted.

It stood still as a statute, still staring at her. Then, it took a long step toward her.

Blu ook a step back, put off by the thing’s utter silence.

It took another step toward her.

Blu took another step back.

It leapt at her: one instant, still as a staute, then next bounding ta her full tilt.

With a scream, Blu turned and tried to run, but she tripped on a rock; Blu cried out as she fell headlong onto the rocky ground, the sharp rocks hurting her naked skin. She tried to rise, but with her right hand trapped beneath her, she could hardly begin to move before the creature jumped on her; pinning her down with it right knee in the small of her back, it grabbed her left wrist with its left hand and pinned her arm to the ground.

“Hey- Mmph!” Blu cried out in protest, turning her head to lok up at it, but the creature slapped its right hand across her soft lips, muffling her voice to a whimper.

It stood still, frozen but for its eyes that turned this way and that, as if looking for some other predator. Its long ears twistched and turned, listening intently.

“Mhmm,” Blu whimpered helplessly, pinned beneath its scaly weight.

From somehwaere -Blu didn’t see where- it drew forth a long rope with its long thin agile tail; it stuffed its tail under her to grab her right wrist and drag her armout from beneath her. Blu whimpered into its scaly hand as her soft sin was dragged across the sharp rocks beneath her, but the creaturemade no more reply to this than to anything else.

It forced Blu’s hands together in the small of her back, still keeping her mouth covered, and wrapped the rope around her crossed wrists, coiling it tighter and tighter around her hands, it cinched the rope, then tied it off tightly, making Blu whimper again as the rope csank into her soft flesh.

The creature grabbed her and turned her over onto her back revealing the multitude of scratches from the stones that now decorated her skin, especially on her breasts where much of her weight had rested. Much of her weight now rested on her bound arms; Blu stared up at the creature with wide pleading eyes, mumbling pleas into its muffling hand.

It abruptly took its hand away; Blu drew a deep breath, but before she could speak, the creature opened its own mouth and spat: a big wet glob struck Blu on the mouth, rapidly hardening in the air. “Mhmm!” Blu ried, shking her head, trying to dislodge it, but to no avail.

The creature rose off of her, then reached down and grabbed her: with insolent ease, it picked her up and tossed her over its shoulder, placing a scaly four-fingered hand on her ass to hold her steady as it turned and strode away.

“Mhmm!” Blu moaned, struggling wildly in its grip, kicking her heels uselessly as it bore her away.
