Chapter 54: Discipline, Glad It's Not Me

I walked over to the water and bent down to splash my face, and then I cupped my hands to take a drink. Mary was swimming around me as I did this, softly humming to some unknown melody that was both beautiful and alluring at the same.

I turned my face to look into Mary's stone eyes as I listened to the song she was humming. I felt myself being drawn into Mary like there was some unseen force that was pulling me closer, then I got a rough smack upside my head.

It didn't hurt, but I was knocked ass over tea kettle from the impact of Jilly's big hand in my squatting position. As I slowly picked myself up, I realized something, I did not have time to be messing around like this right now!

"Come here! What did I just tell you!" Jilly shouted as she came over to the water edge and dove in after Mary.

Or, that's what had assumed was happening, but only the female half of Jilly went in. Her red-plated centipede body stayed up, and soon it reared up, pulling Jilly back out.
