The Sojourn
Kendra and David woke early the next morning, after an abrupt end to their previous night, to get ready to head to the Airport. The time read 0400 when there alarm went off, and Kendra smashed it with her hand as she rolled out of bed. She was so tired she didn’t pay attention to David, who was rolled right on top of, woke up relatively quickly.
Kendra felt a struggling beneath her body, and realized it was David. She quickly shot out of bed so fast she did a complete radian and a quarter, and hit the ground with a loud thud that made her yelp. David got up and looked over the edge of the bed at the crumpled heap on the floor that was Kendra’s body.
“Are you okay Kendra?”
“No… I’m asleep.”
“Come on, gotta get up. Can’t sleep there!”
“Just five more minutes.”
“No!” David leaped from the bed and landed with a soundless crash on Kendra’s right thigh and made her jump, which caused David to roll all the way to the ground.
“Hey! That wasn’t nice.”
“Neither was lying on me.”
“Oh you liked it, don’t lie.”
“I won’t.”
So Kendra picked herself and David up again, and went and gathered some clothes and threw them in a small carry-on bag that she was going to take on the plane with her. In the bag she also put a couple snacks, and a few other time wasters; like books and crosswords. Within a half hour she had showered and dressed, and was ready to go half an hour later; when her father too was ready to leave.
She put David into her front right pocket, which was a tight squeeze for him as her very tight denim jeans were, well, very tight. He was however able to hide successfully. And he didn’t really dislike his location, he liked where he was, and everything around him felt so wonderful, he didn’t mind the crushing pressure that surrounded him.
When she got into the car with her father, after loading her luggage for a week into the back, David nearly died. He wasn’t paying attention to just what was happening on the outside, and when she sat down he wasn’t ready, and the pressure around him increased tenfold, and gravity changed. When she stopped moving, David wiggled his way up to the edge of the pocket to peer out, but found it to be incredibly difficult.
Kendra could tell what he was doing, and used her hands to both shield David from view, and pull open her pocket a tiny bit to let him see out. She certainly was a giant he was glad to be with, she looked gorgeous. She had put on her light blue jeans, and a white and yellow top that fit her very closely.
Within a half hour again they had parked and extracted their luggage. Kendra and her father went through security, picked up their tickets, and proceeded into the main lobby past security. David didn’t have to get a ticket because his plane seat was on Kendra’s lap, and he rather liked that idea, she came up with it and he didn’t mind.
They finally made it to their Terminal, and her father took a seat, and picked up a new edition of Life Magazine, which had a picture of a cow with a fence leaning on it, with the title “Magnetic Personality, or just Promiscuous?”
Kendra sat next to him and put her head back against the wall and closed her eyes. She could feel David moving in her pocket, and she covered his little impression with her left hand. She liked feeling him moving around, it excited her somewhat. But she was too tired to pursue it much further, and she slipped into a slight dream.
What felt like seconds later she heard her father waking her up, as their plane had begun to board. She stood up and stretched and yawned. David himself had been bored in her pocket, not having anything to do, and not being able to do much but struggle against the stalwart fabric of her jeans. He just went along for the ride, and when he felt her move again, he was beyond ready to get out of the pocket and explore.
Kendra boarded the plane with her father; they went towards the back of the plane with the other passengers, as they loaded from the rear forward.
“So where do I sit dad?”
“Well, this ticket has you sitting in that seat there.” Her dad pointed to the seat on their right, it just so happened to be the only seat in the isle, and was at the back of the plane. “And I am sitting here,” He pointed again to a seat three seats in front of her to her right.
It was a very small plane, three seats in a row, and an isle between two and one. Kendra sat in her seat and her father left her to head to his own. Kendra looked around, and it seemed safe to take David out, so she did. She used her left hand to open her pocket and her right hand to coerce David on out.
“Need something?” David asked as he stood up on her leg.
“Yes, I need entertainment!”
“Wont I get seen?”
“Only if you stay in the open.”
“What do you mean?”
“Dunno yet. But, I am probably going to fall asleep for a while, as it’s a very long flight, and I don’t want you getting lost or found.”
“Heh, that shouldn’t make sense but it does.”
“I know.”
“So?”
“So, I don’t care what you do, so long as you stay safe… While I’m asleep that is.”
“Oh?”
“Yea. Are you tired David?”
“Actually… Yes, I am pretty tired.”
“Well then you should sleep too.”
“I will. Don’t worry, I’ll stay out of site so I’m not found, and I’ll stay near you so I’m not lost.”
“Thanks David,” She picked him up and stealthily gave him a kiss before bringing him back down. “So where do you want to stay? I can’t believe my pocket being too comfortable.”
“No kidding… It wasn’t all bad, but it wasn’t all good either.”
Kendra went into the seat back in front of her and pulled out a pillow. She laid her head down and situated herself.
“Alright, I will probably be asleep really soon, stay safe David.”
“I will. Get some sleep.”
David could tell that Kendra had fallen asleep relatively quickly, even with all the rumble jumble going on around them, as the plane was boarded and loaded. David decided to jump down onto her leg and try to hide between her and the wall. He lowered himself down onto her seat nearly beneath her leg, and decided it was acceptable, so he settled in for a nap. Little time passed until he was fast asleep too, he was after all very, very tired.
David felt movement. And all around him felt very strange. For some reason it was very, very warm, and wet. He could hear sound that didn’t seem to match with the location he fell asleep in. Something wasn’t right. He opened his eyes.
He couldn’t make sense of what he was seeing again. All around him was moving, as though he were in a giant moving ship, and all around him things were falling around. Giant pillows of yellow that were wet and mushy were built up around him, falling randomly. There were all sorts of things he couldn’t even identify, and the walls around him seemed to be made of some kind of fabric.
Outside his world, he couldn’t tell, but he heard what sounded like was chewing. He was quite confused. One second he was on a plane, falling asleep next to Kendra, and the next he was in some strange tube. But before he could contemplate all too much, the world around him lurched. He heard what sounded like a crack and a powerful crunch, then tearing. Where could he be?
The world suddenly moved again, and the sound of tearing fabric reached his ears. He wasn’t sure, but was he in some kind of food item? The yellow pillows could very well be eggs… And that was one hell of a scary thought. If he was in food, who’s food was he in? He could be anywhere, and he could be with anyone. He wasn’t quite sure what to do, everything was so confusing.
He felt the world move again, and this time saw the hall in front of him collapse in on itself, and rip away. In its place were a pair of teeth, which were eventually obscured by lips before the mouth before him started to chew. And it really was glorious, awe inspiring. He could tell right off however, that it was not Kendra, as this person, a girl it must be, didn’t have braces. And her mouth was ‘substantially’ larger than Kendra’s.
She chewed with her mouth relatively open, and it created a very loud racket. Whenever her teeth parted and masses of food was moved around, David could hear it, and see it. When her teeth came together he saw it again, except this time things were crushed beyond belief. After a few seconds of this chewing, everything that was once a solid was now more of a liquid like paste that stretched around. It would of looked disgusting on any normal basis, but considering his current predicament, he was enthused entirely.
When she went to swallow, her lips came together and David heard her gulp. Almost instantly her lips parted a bit, to reveal a completely empty mouth. She then looked down, and David got a view of her nose and cheeks, she smiled. She spoke to someone beneath her, or at least beneath David. Her voice came out unintelligible. A beautiful sound it made, but nothing David could understand. Everything she said came at him in a blurred together fashion that kept him wondering.
Who was this girl? Was she speaking English?
But David didn’t have any time to respond as he saw her level her head and open her mouth. David felt himself moving towards it, and he quickly ran back, and it wasn’t a moment too soon before where he once stood was inside her mouth, and her teeth came together. David heard the crack of her teeth, and felt the entire world shift, and bend as the soft cylinder he was in bowed and broke.
The tearing of the world her teeth induced as she pulled him away from her lips was intense. David watched as the entire chunk, as massive as a car or two broke away. Suddenly, the floor gave way, and he lost his balance. He had to grip the broken floor just to keep from falling. He nearly yelled; however, even if he did, his voice wouldn’t of been heard by anyone, as the absolutely massive girl behind him began to chew.
He was hanging by what felt like carpet, and looked white and brown. And as he hung there, he took in his surroundings. Beneath him was a plate, and what looked like a small person; however it was too far to see. Behind him he looked into her mouth, now more eye level with her lower lip, he watched as it darted about accommodating to her jaw working through her food. Again the same spectacle was repeated as he had seen earlier.
When she went to swallow this time, David was much further down, and was able to see her throat. Her entire throat moved in unison, a small bulge moved up, her neck came down, and her throat transported her food as she swallowed. The sound was much louder now than it had been before, and David was again transfixed.
He was mystified. However he was quickly brought back to the real world as he noticed her preparing for another bite. A fall from this height might hurt him pretty bad, she he decided it a better idea to climb back up and wait until after she took another bite to assess jumping. He scrambled upwards. His arm strength had never been so great, and he had no idea how he moved like he did. But somehow he made it up into the ‘burrito’ (as he came to call it after being nearly outside it). Alas, just as he got his footing, the light cut out, and he saw in front of him his world begin to close off. He leaped in the direction of freedom, but wasn’t fast enough. Her teeth seared through his world.
He was trapped in her mouth, and he felt her rip the rest of her food away from him. He quickly assessed his options again, and it didn’t look good. However there was one hope, jumping out of her open mouth. If he were able to he could have a chance… But his thought pattern was cut short as everything around him moved, and he was thrown upside down.
She began to chew.
The sound was deafening, and he could hardly keep himself up. Every time he’d get up, she’d throw him back down. Time and time again, he had to scramble off her teeth as she deposited him onto her molars, near miss after near miss, all the while working his way, forward. However the further he made it forward, the further she’d pull him back. She hit him with her lips a few times, trapping him inside. Finally he was able to take a stance on her gum line in front of her tongue and behind her teeth. When she parted her teeth again, he leapt for all he was worth, and just barely cleared her lips. They came together behind him, and as he fell, he heard her swallow.
David plummeted, and for how long he didn’t know, but it seemed to take forever. Wind was whipping his face, the roar of it nearly deafening. The landscape in front of him was beautiful. But something about it all didn’t fit. What the hell happened?
He hit something very hard.
David groaned. When he landed he roughly landed on his front, partly on his face. But whatever he was on was very hard, and quite warm. He opened his eyes and he found himself on a girl’s leg. He looked up, it had to be the same girl. He looked around, and found that she was wearing very tight jeans, and a blue crop top. David wasn’t sure, but everything looked different. He stood up, and was bedazzled again. Long strong fingers wrapped themselves around him, and brought him up. On his way he got a long glimpse of her breasts, which were huge to him. This girl had a hell of a shape. Finally she brought him up in front of her face.
She was beautiful. She gazed at him with green eyes that shown in the light; who was this girl?! She began to speak, but again David could not understand any of her words. Instead of listening, he just watched her lips move as she spoke. The inside of her mouth glistening with saliva as her glossy lips and her pearly teeth moved to articulate words.
When she finished speaking, David wished he had been able to understand her. As she instantly changed how she was holding him and gripped his right leg, and let him fall. Gravity yanked his body, threatening to tear off his leg, but she held him fast. She brought him up to her lips, and gently kissed him. David loved the feeling. Almost instantly however her lips parted and her mouth opened. It was impressively large.
With a gentle flick of her wrist, David was propelled into her mouth, breaking three bands of saliva with his flight, until landing on her tongue. She closed her mouth, and swirled him around a few times. David fought for his live, but it was futile. Her tongue was just overpowering. He yelled and screamed, kicked and punched; but to no avail. He ended up swallowing a lot of her saliva, and was utterly exhausted. When he grew limp, she stopped swishing him around, and positioned him for swallow. He said something unintelligible, and she gulped. David felt the ground beneath him move, as her tongue pushed upward, David was shunted into her throat, accompanied by a sonic boom of energy, and a torrent of accumulated saliva.
David felt the world close in on him. Everything grew dark and he felt insane pressure all around him. He was moving, and he wasn’t sure of where anymore. Sound surrounded him, as pressure closed in on him. Then he heard a feminine voice, it was calling to him. He tried to listen to it.
“David!” He opened his eyes.
Kendra was squeezing him very hard, and he felt it hard to breathe, as though his ribs were going to crack. His arms and legs were pinned together, and he could only move his head. He first looked at Kendra, who looked concerned. When she saw his eyes open, she relaxed her grip, and David nearly collapsed inside her hand.
“Are you okay David?”
“What happened?”
“I couldn’t get you awake.”
“Where are we?”
“We’re in Kansas.”
“Layover?”
“Yes.”
“Where’s your dad?”
“Oh, around.”
“Oh I don’t feel so good.”
“I’m sorry David.” She brought him to her lips and gave him a quick peck, which covered his face. “Feel better?”
“Actually.”
“That’s good. Well… Are you hungry David?”
“Not particularly. Why? Are you?”
“Yes, I’m starving.”
“What did you have in mind Kendra?”
“Well… Since we’re in a new place, and I don’t know anyone, and no one knows me… Why not some people?”
“You want to eat people?”
“Yes.”
“That’s incredible.”
“I know right? I’m starving, and I am feeling adventurous.”
“How are you going to collect people in here? Isn’t it dangerous?”
“Yes… That’s why I’ve been looking around for a while.”
“A while? How long was I out?”
“Well… If you fell asleep before we took off, then a few hours.”
“Wow.”
“Yea… Well anyway, I’ve been looking around, and I’ve found a place where there aren’t any cameras.”
“You aren’t going to go touch everyone to shrink them are you?”
“I don’t know.”
“Hmmm… Might want to figure out how you’re gonna tackle this. Because if people see you touching everyone, and then them mysteriously disappearing, someone’s going to notice.”
“I know…” She looked at a lone boy, probably four years older than her, walking towards her. He was about fifty paces off, and he noticed her looking at him. Their eyes connected, and almost instantly he vanished. “Woah!”
“What?”
Kendra took off towards the boy, who was now on the ground, stunned. “I just shrank that boy by thinking it!” She grabbed him in her hand and opened her purse, and deposited him. He yelled up at her as he fell, but she closed her purse.
“You what?”
“I shrank that boy without touching him.”
“Just by thinking about it?”
“Yea… I looked at him, and wondered how cute he’d look about your size, and poof! He was miniature.”
“Amazing. You could put that to good use.”
“How?”
“Well… Think about seeing like… A group of people that small, and see if that works.”
Kendra quickly pushed David into her stomach, as a small group passed. Even though it was unexpected, after the initial shock, he enjoyed his new location. Her stomach was making a hell of a racket protesting it’s empty state. After all, it hadn’t been fed since last night, if David was remembering right. It rumbled and he felt and heard it. Her skin was so soft and warm, it was a golden experience.
David felt her grip him again, and pull him away from her belly. He gave it a once over as she moved him out, and it was very pretty.
“That was close.”
“Did they see me?”
“No. I think.”
“Good. Well, you should grab some more people, your stomach is ravenous.”
Kendra blushed and put her free hand over her stomach to hide it from David. He turned his attention back up to her grayish eyes. “Okay.”
She hid David closer to her as she moved across the hall, and to a more secluded place. There was a small group of people coming her way. They looked to be all part of the same group. All around their mid twenties, with luggage and everything. They were chatting and laughing as they went, not really paying any attention to where they were going. However, there were other people in the hall now, and Kendra thought it was too crowded… She was worried.
The lights in the hall went out, and the tunnel was plunged into near blackness. There were the initial shrieks of terror, however they were quickly subsided. Kendra worked in the dark, and took less than seconds to cross the hall, to where she saw her first victim. She quickly began gathering them up into her bag, and their screams were cut off one by one. There was a groan over head, and when she shut her purse after collecting the last person, the lights came back on, and the deafening silence that ensued was only broken by the hum of the overhead lights.
Kendra straightened herself out, and walked off casually. No one seemed the wiser, as she carried eleven people off in her purse; as it swung gently under her arm.
Kendra took David and her ‘lunch box’ to a secluded area just outside her next gate, in which she and her father were going to converge, along with a hundred or so other passengers for Maine in about an hour. She opened her bag and peered in. There were girls in the group, and half of them screamed when they saw Kendra peering in over them. One of them positively fainted when Kendra’s eyes passed over her. Three of the girls were clutching what must have been their boyfriends very tightly. Two of the other conscious girls weren’t screaming, but scowling.
The men of the group, which totaled seven in all, were either consoling their girlfriends, looking up at Kendra, or, in one case, cowering under some purse items.
“Hmmm… Who should be first?”
“For what?” Piped up one of the strong looking guys.
“You’ll see. You’re first.”
“Wha…” But before he could finish his question, Kendra had reached in and snatched him up, causing a little scuffle inside as she closed the purse a little, as to block out all light.
“Hey there. What’s your name?”
“It’s Bryan… What do you want with me?”
“That’s a secret to them,” she tilted her head towards the bag. “But not to you.” She brought him closer to her lips, “I’m hungry.”
“WHAT?! You can’t be serious.”
She pulled him back a little and looked at him, “Oh yes, pretty serious.”
“I don’t believe it. You look too good to be bad!”
“Oh you’re just trying to flatter me. You’ve got a girly in there, I bet right?” He shook his head. “At home?” He shook his head again. “Aww, well that’s too bad. Perhaps under different circumstances. See, this little guy here is mine. I’m his girly.” She motioned to David, who Bryan just saw, David looked away and felt his face grow warm. “Anyway, it was lovely meeting you Bryan.”
“…” He opened his mouth to say something, but only a small yell escaped his face as, at the same instant, Kendra opened her mouth up wide, and tossed him into the air. She moved like lightning, and caught him; closing her lips around his shoulders and sucking him into her mouth. This time, he full out screamed.
She wasted no time, in softening him up with her wet tongue. His taste made her mouth begin to water. Within seconds of throwing him in, she swallowed him and was opening her bag. ‘She is really becoming a predator. I think I love this girl.’ David thought to himself.
The light returned, and the people inside, non-the-wiser of the fate of Bryan looked up at their captor.
“What have you done with Bryan?”
“I let him go. I feel like we’re going to be together a long time, you all and I. Let us become friends, shall we?”
“And what if we don’t want to be your friends?!” Yelled a girl up at her.
Kendra looked right at her, and her defiant stance faltered. “Well that would be just mean, and I don’t like mean people. You shouldn’t be mean. How about, let's have you go next okay?”
“What? No!”
“Come on, it’ll be fun!” Kendra was reaching into her bag already, the girl attempted to run, but had nowhere to go. As Kendra’s fingers surrounded her, she screamed, and was pulled out of the purse. Kendra looked back into the purse, “I won’t hurt her, I don’t mean to.” She gave them a small smile, and one of the guys smiled back uneasily; Kendra caught it, and winked at him.
She closed the purse again. “Argh! Let me go you bitch!”
“What did I say about being a nice person? Are you trying to make me angry?”
“I do not care! You’ve violated our lives, and you deserve to be punished!”
“You’re in no position to be making any demands little girl.” Kendra said, her temper rising.
“Little girl? You’re what, 10?”
“Oh no you didn’t.” Kendra grinned at her, and brought her up to her lips. “You’ve been a very bad girl.” She licked her, and allowed her to get sucked into her mouth. Her screams were muffled by Kendra’s tongue.
Kendra wasn’t liking this girl all that much, so she decided to press her into the roof of her mouth to… Soften her up. She then swallowed hard, and David could hear it. Kendra had hoped no one in the bag had heard. She wiped her lips and smiled at David, who was sitting on her right knee, admiring her as she worked. He gave her a thumbs up, and her eyes nearly twinkled.
She went back to the bag, the group had huddled together, and was just being interrupted by Kendra. “What do we have here?”
“Nuttin.” Said one of the smaller boys.
“Oh… Well… Did you know ‘nothing’ usually means ‘something,’ but you just don’t want to talk about it.”
“Uhhh…” Was the unanimous response.
“I thought so, what’s your name little guy?”
“J… Ja… Jake.”
