Synopsis

Ashley touches an alien artifact one day and an alien invades his body with incredible results.

Chapter 3

Ashley had never felt so powerless. He was literally trapped in his own mind, unable to control his body which was being run by an alien called Jav intent on turning his body female so that he could reproduce.

Jav’s sinister intentions were well underway. He had already succeeded in making Ashley’s body undergo a female puberty. He had also come out as transgender and had intimated to Ashley’s family that he was actually a girl and didn’t want to live as a boy. The coup de grace came a week after that day when they went back to the doctor for updates about Ashley’s breast development. Jav had insisted on going as a girl and Lorna had given in as it was obvious the teen was quite serious about presenting as a girl. Since coming out a week before Jav had spent every day dressed as a girl. She had Lorna and Matt (Ashley and Reagan’s parents) tentative support after another tear fest and a heart rending account of how miserable she’d been living as a boy. They were okay with her dressing as long she did it at home. They had made plans to see someone to figure out what was going on with her.

Dr Evan’s had more shocking news for Lorna and Ashley.

“The blood samples I took showed an elevated level of oestrogen, very unusual in a teenage boy. Upon further testing we found that Ashley has XX chromosomes,”

“Does that mean he is a girl?” Lorna queried

“Genetically that is a karotype associated with females but there are a few men with that chromosome combination. I’d like Ashley to undergo a scan so we can confirm what I’m thinking,”

Ashley was driven to a nearby hospital and had her abdomen scanned. The results were shocking. The specialists identified a fully formed but immature female reproductive system inside him. They examined Ashley again before giving the Smith’s the news.

“Ashley is female genetically, what appears to be a penis is largely an overgrown clitoris while the scrotum is a fused labia,” said Mr Musgrove, who seemed to be the head honcho.

“What are our options?”

“Well we can either, remove the female equipment and then give Ashley testosterone injections to complete male puberty or we can open her vaginal channel. If Ashley stays as a male he will be infertile but that won’t be the case as a female,” the specialist announced.

“What would you recommend?” Lorna asked.

“This is up to Ashley,” said Mr. Musgrove, ‘’but from what I can see this seems to be good news,” he said.

Jav smiled, “Yes I’d rather be female and I guess it explains why I feel the way I do,”

“Okay. Mrs. Smith are you okay with that?”

“Yes it’s just such a shock,” said Lorna with a shake of the head.

Jav squeezed her hand, “it’s okay Mum. This is what I want,”

Lorna looked into her child’s eyes and nodded.

“If you’re sure,” she said.

“Yeah I am, this is a dream come true,” Jav said softly.

Lorna hugged her child.

“I’ll schedule you for next week then. I’d like you to talk to a psychologist before though,” said Mr. Musgrove.

The rest of the Smith family was shocked by the news of what the doctors had found. Matt, Ashley’s father who was still reeling from the discovery of his child’s gender dysphoria was stupefied but once he read the doctor’s report and listened to what Lorna had to say he was less disturbed. His thinking was if Ashley actually had a female reproductive system then it made sense that he felt he was a girl. As such he found it more palatable now than before even though he was disappointed and felt a profound sense of loss though he hid it. He was going to miss having a son and a part of him wondered how he’d missed Ashley’s unhappiness. He’d had no idea what his kid had been going through nor did Lorna who felt terrible for missing her child’s misery. Even Reagan who’d had her doubts about the whole Ashley being transgendered thing couldn’t argue with medical facts. She’d been aloof from from her sibling ever since Jav came out but not now. When Lorna gave her the news she’d given her new sister a hug.

‘It’s a good thing I can’t feel this or I’d be puking,’ thought Ashley.

It was fair to say Reagan wasn’t her favourite person. He thought she was a very conceited know it all.

“Wow, so you’re a girl. Are you okay?” Reagan asked

“I feel great Reagan. It’s a dream come true,” Jav said in soft tone Ashley found sickening.

“You have honestly felt you should be a girl,” Reagan remarked

“Yes I have though I tried to deny it,” Jav answered, “so I acted like a typical boy. Being friends with Marco helped. I learnt what to do from being around him,” Jav explained.

Ashley was disgusted by the ease the lies rolled off Jav’s tongue.

“Are you going to tell Marco?” Reagan asked.

Marco and Ashley had been friends for close to eight years. They had the same interests and were in the same group of unassuming gamer boys who didn’t make ripples at school academically or socially. They were those instantly forgettable kids no one ever remembered at school. Reagan was one of those popular girls, you know the type- good looking,talented and hyper aware of it and made sure that everyone in the school knew this. Needless to say the pair of them weren’t close

“Yes I will,” Jav answered.

“When,”

“Right now,” said Jav.

This news gave Ashley hope. If anyone could see through Jav it was going to be Marco he thought before he realized that the fiend had access to all his memories.

‘Crap’ he thought.

“Are you sure about that?” Lorna asked.

“Yes. I’m not going to go into hiding Mum, the sooner I do this the better,” said Jav.

She went upstairs and called Marco.

“Can you come over?”

“Sure,” said Marco, “what’s up,”

“I have something to tell you,” said Jav.

“No problem,” said Marco.

Jav changed clothes and donned something boyish for the first time since he’d come out to his family. Whenever he’d gone out before he’d had to dress as a boy and he did that now to soften the blow for Ashley's friend who’d had no idea what was happening in his ‘friends’ life.

When Marco reached the Smith house, Lorna told him Ashley was upstairs.

“Mate,” said Marco in greeting after knocking on his friends’ door.

“Hey,” said Jav, “I’ve got something to tell you,”

“Yeah what,”

“I went to the doctors last week. Something’s wrong with me,”

Marco’s frowned, he looked worried.

“You don’t have cancer do you?”

Ashley smiled from his mental prison. Jav was exactly like a cancer and it made him feel better that his only friend could be so concerned.

“No. It’s not that bad,” Jav replied.

“Yeah so what is it?” Matt queried.

“I’m a girl,” said Jav slowly looking Marco in the eye.

Marco frowned.

“Huh,”

“The doctors found I have some girl stuff inside so I’m supposed to have surgery,” Jav explained.

“Shit," swore Marco.

"Yeah it was a shock," Jav agreed, "so I have to have an operation to sort it out. Not the shock obviously."

A wan smile made it to Marco's lips.

"How does that work? Are they going to take it out?” Marco queried.

“They can but if I do I won’t be able to have kids. I really want kids so I decided I might as well be a girl, they’ll fix me up and so I won’t have the boy bits anymore,” Jav replied.

“Man that sucks,” Marco replied.

‘Tell me about it’ Ashley muttered.

He wanted to tell his friend that it wasn’t him speaking but an imposter that had stolen his life. He knew he couldn’t though and he was resigned to being nothing but an observer in his own life. Any rage led to Jav putting him under for days. He decided being an observer was better than nothing.

“Totally…but I reckon it won’t be so bad. I mean half the world is female right,” said Jav trying to be upbeat.

Marco nodded, “As long as you’re okay with it,”

“I’ll have to be. Let’s hope I don’t turn into a clone of Megan Hopkins,” said Jav referring to the class bimbo.

That earned a chuckle from Marco.

“So when’s the surgery?”

“Next week,” said Jav, “some specialist's coming in from London to do it,” he said.

“So will you like boys now?”

“No way.. I’ll get a sperm donor when I want a baby or maybe my partner will carry the baby,” said Jav with some indignation.

Marco nodded taking a gulp, “I don’t think I’d be able to handle that. You’re a braver man than me,”

Both of them laughed at his gallows humour when it hit them what he’d just said. They spent the rest of the day playing with Ashley's gaming console. Jav had fooled yet another of the people in Ashley’s life.

The visit to the psychologist was a mere formality. Jav knew what to say and it wasn’t a surprise when the doctor said Jav had gender dysphoria which was explained by him being intersex. Surgery was seen as the best outcome and recommended.

Jav was wheeled in for the surgery some days later and it went well. He put Ashley under for the whole surgery and kept him like this for three weeks afterwards. The next time Ashley awoke was when Jav was drying his body after a bath. On seeing his naked reflection Ashley nearly passed out. In the mirror stood a complete stranger. There was no way that was him, from head to toe only a girl looked back at him. She had all the correct parts, her bosom seemed bigger than the last time he’d seen it. His bits where gone forever he realized with sadness and replaced with a feminine cleft. His hair was much longer than he’d ever had it as it went to the girl's shoulder blades and it was no longer blonde but auburn. His eyes seemed bigger and his face seemed rounder. The features were his only a lot more feminine

“Phase One is complete. Now I have to find a suitable partner to impregnate this body!”

“You can’t get me pregnant!” Ashley protested.

“I can and I will. I’ll just make this body more attractive and when I pick a suitable mate a pregnancy will follow shortly. Everything works perfectly and this body will have its first period tomorrow,”

Ashley was stunned into silence at the thought of being on the curse.

“This can’t be happening, it’s a dream,” he thought to himself over and over.
