Soul Sword
Chapter 1: The Prologue

By Blackout

Editor: Zip

Terry was your typical average teenage boy. But like most stories he was about to be startled by some unexplainable power, but hey that’s what makes the story interesting. Read on as the life of one typical teenage boy except for his hobby of swordsmanship is turned around as he discovers a world he never thought he would enter in more ways than one.

Also I know I went off the radar for a while and I know it's going to happen again sometime. So I am going to say sorry ahead of time for that. Anyway here is a new story. I am going to try to keep the amount put out for each chapter lighter otherwise I won't be able to write at all considering the pressure Real Life causes. This has not been really edited so please forgive me ahead of time if you want to point out mistakes message me. Again I just could not write anything other summer. But I hope this story starts off well.

It was going to be a long summer break. Here I was camping with my best friend Shane in the forest of who knows where. While most people would like camping trips I was not one of them. Don’t get me wrong, I could see why some people liked the idea of getting away in the woods. But to me not showing, having no TV, or any connection to the outside world was completely unappealing. I really missed the modern world advances already.

My name is Terry by the way and I was your typical guy who liked to play video games, and chill with his friends. I wasn’t particularly smooth with the ladies either, unlike my friend Shane. Shane wasn’t even all that athletic. The only thing we ever really did together besides video games was to practice swords at his family’s house… which also ran swordsmanship classes. I was really interested in learning the art of the sword and that is how I met Shane. Unlike me though, Shane had no real interest in learning about sword fighting, in fact he was pretty bad. If it was not for our friendship, he would not even practice sword fighting at all.

It was rather unfortunate. Here I was a typical loser boy, whose only real talent was swordsmanship. But, I hailed from an ancestry of bankers, lawyers, and so on. While my friend Shane came from a family who had an ancestor that was a famous Knight known for apparently slaying some mythical evil dragon. Not that I for a minute believed that story. But his family still hailed from a famous knight, whose swordsmanship was unmatched. Yet all Shane ever really cared about was how many girls he could hit on in a week. We were both 18 although he was older than me. Soon we would be heading our separate ways as we headed to college. It was kind of a sad thought.

He was still my best friend, even though he made me look bad by comparison. We had been through so much together. I helped him with swords and he helped me with girls. Somehow from there our friendship blossomed, and now we were out here in the woods. It was all Shane’s dad’s idea. We would go out into the woods, just the two of us, and indulge in nature while working on connecting and becoming one with our swords and become men, whatever that meant.

Anyway, here we were just minding our own business in the woods, and all I really wanted to do was go back home.

“No bars! How am I supposed to text Michelle now?” said Shane.

“Do you really need to talk to her now?”

“Of course, you really don’t know girls at all. I don’t want her to think I am ignoring her. I thought we would at least get some bars out here.”

“Whatever man, listen I am going to get some wood for a fire.”

“Sounds good!”

As I walked into the forest I could not shake the strangest feeling that I was being watched. It was about five minutes later that I found the jack pot. I had found some pretty large fire wood nearby. It was pretty weird too, since all the fire wood was pretty much located in the same place, like someone had left it there. The area around this part of the forest seemed pretty thin… except for this one giant tree. It was a very beautiful tree though. Age did nothing but add to its beauty. It was like the mother of all trees. Stranger then that was the fact that it looked like it was riddled with cuts from a sword. Maybe someone came out here and practiced on the tree.

“Whatever! I better get the firewood back to the camp site.”

It took a little while to drag all the firewood back. Shane was nowhere to be seen. It figures. He is probably still trying to get a connection to contact Michelle.

I just don’t know what he saw in Michelle, besides the fact that she was gorgeous. If it was not for her looks, I doubt anyone would want to hang out with that self-centered Bitch. She was your typical manipulative teen idol. I swear the only reason she was dating him was that he was considered the cutest guy in school, according to the girls and Michelle thought it was important that he was under her thumb.

Shane had a pretty muscular build but not overly so, like those body builders you see in pictures on the internet. He had your typical shaggy brown hair that for some reason the ladies loved, and emerald eyes that also seemed to look through you. That was another aspect of him that seemed unnerving. He seemed to be able to look through you and understand every aspect of your soul, which he often used, at least on girls anyway. His skin was fairly plain maybe a decent tan but not much to speak about.

That was the only area I trumped him in looks. I was pretty tan just from the amount of time I spent outside practicing the sword. My messy brown hair, for some reason did nothing to attract girls. It was just messy. While on Shane it gave him that sense of danger like he was not to be taken lightly. I did not look as buff as Shane, but that was because most of my muscle was lean and hidden under the skin, to allow for smooth, swift reflexes while using a sword. While my eyes compared to Shane’s were a shit brown. Damn why couldn’t my eyes just be brown. They had to be a shit brown. Nobody likes looking into someone’s eyes and seeing…. Shit! Yes shit is very romantic…. for freaking monkeys.

I started to add the wood I found around that mysterious tree to the fire as it was beginning to die. As the wood was added it began to give off a very peculiar and sweet scent. I inhaled deeply. It was very relaxing. The scent from the wood seemed to swirl around and I felt like all my worries were fading away. I decided to just take a quick seat and relax around the fire.

“Damn this wood is awesome it’s so relaxing…..YAAAWWWWNNN! I guess a little nap couldn’t kill me.”

)()()()()()()()()()()()()()()()()()()()()()()()()()()()()()()()()()()()()()()()()()()()()()()()()()()()()()()()()()()()()()()()(

I was floating in the area. The smoke from the fire was sailing around me, it still smelled great but now it was invigorating. I filled me with energy. I felt powerful and strong, like I could take on the world.

That’s when things got weird. The smoke suddenly took a form of a beautiful lady. She looked young but I sensed that she was really centuries older than she appeared; she gave off a sense of wisdom and unequaled experience. I really could not make out any really defined feature since her entire body was made entirely of smoke which was still moving all around. It was like smoke trapped in a bottle shaped like a woman.
It was then, that a beautiful mysterious voice seemed to emanate from the smoke woman.

“A sword is born to prepare her lord
Through times of scorn and time of mourn
A soul she bears upon to take her role
An unbreakable sword to move forward
One life shall end but another shall begin
Thrust forward sword till the end
Your adventure is about to begin”

With that the smoke lady seemed to disappear. “What the heck was that? I can talk like that. You know weird spirit smoke. A cryptic message, what a drool. See I can speak like that also?”

Here I was just talking out laud to myself, and I did not even notice the smoke start to surround me. It was suffocating like it was taking over me.

“Terry!”

Someone was calling me name.

“Terry wake up, its morning already!”…….

Author's Note: I have come back. Also I hope you enjoyed ch 1 the beginning. Anyway this story has now been edited and updated thanks to Zip.

Soul Sword
Chapter 2: Freaks of Nature

Terry was your typical average teenage boy. But like most stories he was about to startled by some unexplainable power but hey that’s what makes the story interesting. Read on as the life of one typical teenage boy except for his hobby of swordsmanship is turned around as he discovers a world he never thought he would enter in more ways than one.

“Huh! What’s up man? Is it just me or do you feel as tired as me this morning?” I said as I rubbed my hand around my eyes. I hated the waking up and I still felt sleep in my eyes. It seems I slept outside all night. I was not going to like all the bug bites I probably had gotten.

“Morning my ass Terry! You slept all afternoon!”

“Holly shit! We still have to practice some sword training this morning. Give me a second and I will be ready.”

“Yeah ok just hurry up.”

I went to the bathroom in the woods first. My bladder felt like it was about to explode. It seemed my body was trying to rid itself of something. I then went and brushed my teeth using the spigot. It was rather disgusting since that water is always disgusting when you get it from the woods. I swear it was like bad taste microbes invaded the insides of the pipe making the water taste like ass. With the grueling task of brushing my teeth done, I headed into the tent to get dressed. I just had no time to take a shower I needed to go and spar with Shane. I felt bad. How could I have overslept that late? That rarely ever happened. I quickly threw on a pair of shorts, some clean socks and underwear, along with a shirt. Grabbing my sword I ran outside where Shane was waiting.

“So do you know where we could spar man?”

“Yeah, actually I saw this great place for sparring yesterday, when I went to get firewood.”

“Ok then man, lead the way.”

I lead Shane to the area with the big tree. Looking at it again there really wasn’t anything to spectacular about it now that I saw it in the daylight. Sure it was big and the area was thin with few trees around but that wasn’t so unusual. It was still a pretty good place to spar though.

“Wow, you weren’t kidding, this is a nice spot to spar.”

“Yep I know! I found the firewood here yesterday. Ok let’s quit the chatter. Are you ready to get your ass handed to you?”

“Dude you know I don’t care that much.”

“Yeah but come on. At least try to have more fun with it. Ok come at me.”

Shane and I unsheathed our swords and began to dance around each other. Since we were using real swords we had to be careful so we only used the back side of the sword and we had to try to only hit the sword out of the others hand. The reason we were allowed to use real swords such as the katana I was using, was that we had already practiced enough with the wooden swords that we were fairly safe when using them.

I parried and lounged forward bring my sword up against his to try to knock it out of his hand. He countered with a block. Both our swords were now neck and neck against each other I knew I could not win in a pure strength and endurance battle, so I pulled back. Shane however followed my retreat pushing me further back. I would have to come up with something creative.

“Terry, hate to break it to you but you’re going to lose this time.”

“It’s not over yet man.”

“Whatever, you know you can’t beat me with pure strength.”

“Yes but I am more cunning when it comes to tricks and style, I practice more, so my skills exceed yours.”

I twisted my sword up and around Shane’s sword to bring it crushing back down as I brought my body forward to apply more force. He still held his sword up though.

“Terry I hate it when you pull those moves on me.”

“Sorry, I know how to manipulate my sword.”

We both laughed at that one. I then tried to knock him off balance by going in even closer so that I was practically in his face. I then took the hilt of my sword and smacked his hilt.

“Ouch” he cried as he dropped his sword.

“I win, Woot! Woot!”

“Holy shit! Terry you’re bleeding.”

I look at my arm. I really was bleeding I had got a minor cut when I used that final move to win. It was not that big a deal but it did sting. Good thing you always bring a first aid kit when you spar with real swords I though. I went and sat by the tree as Shane came over with the first aid kit. He wiped and cleaned my cut, and then wrapped it. The disinfectant stung like hell.

“We should probably rest here for a little bit. The cut wasn’t that big but you lost some blood so just lay down for a little bro.”

“Yeah I hear that.”

I did not bleed so much but it was pretty evident that I was fairly hurt.

Now that I had sat down the adrenaline wore off I my arm started to swell. The throbbing pain was pretty uncomfortable. The cut was only about an inch big on my arm and the bleeding had basically stopped already.

“Hey man I am going to come back with some food, water, and an ice pack.
Try to just relax here till then.”

“Ok but don’t get distracted by a phone call with Michelle.”

“Come on man you know me better than that.”

We both laughed at that one as he headed to the camp site. I started to feel a little disoriented maybe from the loss of blood. So I just lay there against the tree.

After what seemed like an eternity but was probably only about half an hour Shane came back. I’m not that patient of a person.

“Finally back huh?”

“Yeah it was a pain in the ass to find my way back here.”

“Whatever man, you got some grub in that bag?”

“You know it man.”

“Then let’s chow down!”

He got out a picnic blanket in the bag laid it out and then came out bread, an assortment of meat, condiments just what we need to make some sandwiches. There were also chips, and carrots. Carrots were about the only vegetable I actually liked. Though they never really actually seemed to improve eyesight, like some would have you believe.

“Hey Shane make me a sandwich, I’m injured?”

“Hell no I’m not a woman. Tough it up and be a man.”

We both had a laugh at that joke.

The sandwiches were as good as one could expect. I basically just sat there eating carrots and chips for a while.

“So do you have any plans for when we get back, man?” Shane asked me.

“No not really. I was just going to chill and practice with swords the rest of the summer.”

“That’s cool. Hey, it’s getting pretty late, we should probably head back now, you up for it.”

“Yeah my arm is not hurting as much anymore.”

We got up and started to head back. It was good to get out of that place finally, It felt like I had been there for a while.

“Hey Shane don’t you get the feeling were being watched?”

“Yeah I do, it’s weird… Holy shit! Dude what is that thing?!!!!!”

There in front of us was the most hideous monster I had ever seen. It looked almost like a zombie. It had a humanoid shape but was hunched over and about half the size of an adult human. Instead of normal nails, what came out of his fingers were claws. Though despite being riddled with holes and looking like a decayed zombie mutant this thing looked surprisingly fast, with huge feet, far bigger and not proportional to its body.

“Shit dude this thing is freaky. Let’s run for it.

Before we could do that however about ten more of those things came out and blocked our path forward. There was no way around them. This was the scary shit show ever. Lucky for us we had swords if we were going to be killed, I sure as hell wasn’t going down without a fight. One of the things inch forward and pointed at Shane.

“Yoou..uu .wweeeilllder….givv vee uss..ss. the..ee S… sss sou..uulll Ssword!” /“(You wielder give us the Soul Sword)”/

“What the hell are you freaks of nature saying… what the HELL is a soul sword?!”

Then the thing then pointed its long and dangerous finger at me. “HHHee..eer…rr!” /“ (Her!)”/

Author's Notes: Soul Sword two is here. Shocking end in this chapter and what exactly is going to happen. Well you will just have to wait till I feel like writing more of the story. Also comments are helpful and keep me motivated to write more.

Soul Sword Ch 3
Chapter 3: I am the sword! The Awakening!

Editor: Zip

Terry was your typical average teenage boy. But like most stories he was about to startled by some unexplainable power but hey that’s what makes the story interesting. Read on as the life of one typical teenage boy except for his hobby of swordsmanship is turned around as he discovers a world he never thought he would enter in more ways than one.

---

 

“What the fuck did that thing just say?”

“Dude, just forget about it, let’s just get out of here.”
As much as I was surprised and pissed, I was more scared of those freaking zombie things. We turned around and started running back from where we came. The whole situation made no sense to me, and I couldn’t really think much about it, since I was running for my life.

“Those things are probably blind, man!” Shane told me as we were running.

“Yeah! That’s what it must be, though this whole situation makes no sense!” I kept getting hit by branches as we moved further back leaving scrapes and bruises all other my body. There was just no time to navigate carefully around the trees.

“Ouch! Stupid forest! Can this day get any worse?”

“I don’t think so Terry, but let’s not jinx it.”

As we continued forward we eventually made it back out of the clearing we just left. The sky was pretty dark now and it seemed to be giving off an evil vibe. It was as if the world itself was alerting us to our ultimate doom. I know that is not the nicest of thoughts. But I can’t help but thinking it. I mean… life as I knew it was turned upside down with freaking zombie mutant things. I could not see or hear any of the freaks.

“I think we finally lost them, man.”

“We can’t be too sure we should continue moving before they find us again.”

“Good idea. Let’s get as far away as possible and try going around to get back to your car.”

“OOOHHhhhh…..sssoo..ooo….ther…ee …. Yo..uuuu.. ……aarrrrre!” “(Oh so there you are!)”

The creatures had found us and this time there was no escaping without a fight.

“Shane, it’s been nice knowing you man.”

“Yeah it was fun, bro.”

We both nodded smiling at each other. We both know what the other was thinking. We were going to fight till the end and die as warriors. If we were lucky we would kill a few of those things. Me and Shane had our backs up against the big mysterious tree at this point. This was so we could avoid attacks from behind since we would be facing multiple opponents.

“Gee..tt….thheeemmm! (Get them!)”

The freaks of nature charged at us. Though they only seemed to be going for Shane so I did my best to fend them off while helping Shane. We were finding it impossible to hit any of the zombie mutant things. They were just really quick and Shane was taking a real beating as he was cut and scraped. Shit he was going to die soon if we didn’t find a way to defeat those things. I never was much for prayer growing up, but seeing as I was going to die soon anyway I might as well try it.

Oh please, if you’re out there listening, whoever you are. Please, please provide us with the strength to survive. Please allow me to save Shane!

“Yes that is the spirit, my child., A sword must protect her master!” An unknown voice echoed in my head.

It was then that my entire world seemed to go black. I could still hear the sounds of the outside world though it was strange I heard the beasts yelling and jeering, but I was never more freaked out in my life. What was going on, was I dead. Did the beasts kill me?

“Holy Shit, Terry!”

It was Shane’s voice; I guess he was shocked about my death.

“Don’t touch him, stay away you beasts.”

It felt as if someone suddenly grabbed me and picked me up. I felt euphoria like I was being lifted up. I then heard a sound like the unsheathing of a sword, a sound I knew well from all the time I spent practicing my swordsmanship. Light suddenly filtered through and I could see again. I guess I wasn’t so dead after all then, unless I was a ghost now.

I don’t think I was though. I could see a sword in my hand and my body seemed to be moving really quickly as if I was cheetah. But I wasn’t moving at all. I caught a glimpse of something that shocked me. It was a red shirt, not just any red shirt but the one Shane was wearing with Hollister logo on it. Somehow it seemed I was seeing the world through Shane’s eyes, and boy was he something.

A moment before Shane was nearing death, but now he was moving around with great agility and skill. It was beyond any normal human movement. It was amazing to watch as he wove and dodged attacks from the strange creatures. I also felt the motion, somehow though. It was like I was being held by Shane. I felt Shane’s hands on me somehow, and he was using me. Then Shane finally got one of the beasts as he chopped off a few fingers. The weirdest part was I felt the blow. It was like I was cutting through the monster. It was kind of disgusting feeling monster blood on me, like it was contaminating my beauty.
“Holy shit” I screamed. Realization had hit me. I was the SWORD!!!

“Hey Terry, is that you?”

“Yeah it is. What the hell is going on?!”

“Somehow we can hear each other’s thoughts Terry.”

“Yeah I know it’s weird, and I can see what you’re seeing.”

“Really, so you’re seeing this all through my eyes.”
“Yeah I am! So what exactly happened back there? How am I a freaking sword?”

“Well you suddenly glowed without a lot of light coming out of you, and then suddenly your shape changed. It was like your whole body collapsed into a sword. The beasts were going frantic then trying to grab the sword but I wasn’t about to let them get what they wanted.”

“So I really did become a sword.”

“Yeah it was strange, and the moment I picked you up and unsheathed you I felt rejuvenated and strong again like I could take these monsters. My whole physical ability and skill with a sword seems to have exploded beyond human levels.”

“I can see that man, you’re doing pretty well.”

“I know it’s like I have superpowers now.”

“By the way, I can feel your hands on me… which I am fine with, considering the situation. But it’s a little creepy. Also when you cut the monster I felt its blood on me. But I also felt something more. It was like tasting pure evil and chaos, but there was also some confusion I felt.” The problem was, I couldn’t quite pin it. It was like something inside the creature was screaming to be set free.”

“Wow you felt all of that just from the creature’s blood. I wonder what else you can do.”

“I don’t know man, but if we don’t find a way to turn this battle around, we’re done for.” Despite how much inhuman skill and agility Shane now had, the sheer number of the beasts attacking him was beginning to take effect. If we didn’t find a way to turn this around soon, we were going to lose.

I had to find a way to turn this battle around. What could I do as the sword? I didn’t have to think hard because all I did was ask myself, and poof the answer came to me. It was like my instruction book was in my head. I only had to ask.

“Terry I think I found a spell that will help us out of this situation.”

“What do you mean a spell man?”

“I know it’s hard to believe but just trust me ok.”

“Dude I believe you, there are freaking monsters here, right in front of me.”

“Ok! So all you have to do is swing the sword at the monsters as you recite this particular spell, you don’t even have to make physical contact with the monsters. You got that?”

“Yeah man, so what do I say?”

“The spell is called dancing tree wind in English, and what you need to say to cast this spell is VABRAZON CARDONIA. You got that?”

“Loud and clear, let’s try this spell out shall we?”

As he was swinging me, I heard Shane scream at the top of his lungs “Vabrazon Cardonia!”

I felt cool all of a sudden, like a great wind was welling up inside me stirring all the trees, and then I felt the wind release from me all at once. Looking through Shane’s eyes, I was shocked and thrilled to see a giant arc of razor sharp wind being released from me. It completely sliced all the monsters in its path as it sailed through the air. I heard those beasts scream their final cry as they crumpled dead. The other beasts just stared at us in terror and began to back up, lucky for us.

“Rrree..trreeeaaattt!” “(Retreat!)” One of the beasts yelled.

“Wow dude that was awesome.”

“I know. Right!” I was finally relieved that the mutant zombie things were retreating.

“That’s right! You better not mess with me again!” Shane yelled.

A few of the retreating monsters suddenly got sliced into many little pieces as they were running toward the denser part of the forest.

“Geez what am I going to do with you guys. You’re fucking WORTHLESS!” Someone screamed.

Out of the forest walked one of the most intimidating adult men I have ever seen. He was carrying a two handed sword that gleamed red and silver, red because of all the monster blood on it. He was wearing armor that was black as night. He had a lot of rough manly stubble; he probably had to shave often. His eyes were a dark shade of brown but seemed to glow red also from the blood on the sword reflecting into his eyes. He had messy black hair and deep folds in his cheek bones that only heightened his masculinity. This was all on top on the fact that he already looked as buff as hell, and his eyes seemed to scream evil intentions. The worst though was the sinister smile he was giving off. It was damn scary.

“Mmmaaa….sssttt..eeerrrr Deee…aaat..tthhh ….Bll..aaade!” “(Master Death Blade!)” The monsters still alive shouted surprised.

“You Zogarts are trash. You're given one small little task and you mess it up. If I had my way I would kill the whole lot of you.”

“Wweee..rreeee….sssooorr…r.rryyyy…..ssii..rrrr!” “(Were sorry sir!)”

“Save it you trash, I could still kill all of you and just say you were all defeated by this new soul sword wielder, but you’re lucky that I am in a good mood today.”

Then to mine and Shane’s horror the demon swords man turned his attention to us.

“Hey! Boy let’s see what you’re made of. Entertain me a little before I kill you.” The black knight said with that evil smile of his.

Author's Notes: So here is Soul Sword Chapter 3 and things are picking up even more. I actually did manage to already finish chapter 4 and it is edited but I am going to wait a little before posting it. It is also really great having Zip back and editing. So if you want give Zip a big thanks. Also I will say it again if you enjoyed the story and wish to see more please kudos and or comment if you want. It really does help motivate me to write more. Also after looking around for a while (about 5 hrs) I finally found a picture suitable to be the title picture for Soul Sword. I don't know about anyone else but I really like this new image for the story :)!

Soul Sword Ch 4
Chapter 4: Unsheathed and unveiled! A sword reborn!

By Blackout

Editor: Zip

Terry was your typical average teenage boy. But like most stories he was about to startled by some unexplainable power but hey that’s what makes the story interesting. Read on as the life of one typical teenage boy except for his hobby of swordsmanship is turned around as he discovers a world he never thought he would enter in more ways than one.

 

“Yo! Death Blade guy, bring it on!” Shane yelled.

“Hahaha! I really like your spirit, boy. But please refer to me as Duncan. I never much cared for the Death Blade nickname.”

I don’t think I could ever refer to him as Duncan; Death Blade fit him much better. Duncan now that’s funny. He looked nothing like a Duncan. Most names just don’t have an evil ring to them unless there designed to, like Voldemort for example. You couldn’t imagine calling a guy as evil as Voldemort by the name Tom could you? ‘Run for the hills its Tom,’ I thought sarcastically.

Shane and the Death Blade guy started going at it. Shane was hacking left and right, trying to use any and all ways he could to get an attack in. However you saw it though Death Blade was only playing with Shane. The Death Blade guy was not even using his sword yet he was just dodging everything Shane had to offer.

“What the hell, Shane. We survive one battle against freaking monsters only to learn we are still going to get killed.”

“Well you’re a sword right now so you don’t have to worry as much.”

“What do you mean I don’t have as much to worry about? What about the fact that I’m a sword.”

“Yeah you’re right.”

“Is this really all you have to offer? This was not even entertaining. I guess it’s time to die.” Said Death Blade.

Death Blade got out his sword and brought it crushing down at Shane’s head.

“NOOOOOOOOOOOOO Shane, watch out!”

My warning helped Shane at the very last moment. Shane managed to get his blade up to block the attack. The weirdest part was though when our swords hit. I felt the soul in the enemy’s sword and we were fighting each other for a brief second as the swords hit. Then the black knight pulled away smiling.

“Well this is interesting!”

“What is so interesting?” Shane asked.

“Your soul sword that is. It’s rare but not unheard of.”

“What the hell are you talking about?”

“Well… All soul swords are female.”

“Hahahaha, well I guess we are an exception.”

“Sure, you’re welcome to think of it that way. Anyway, time to die.”

Death Blade was going in seriously now when attacking. With one swoop from the Death Blade’s sword I got knocked from Shane’s hands and flew out somewhere. I had now lost vision since Shane was no longer holding me.

“I am about to kill you and take your friend as my newest slave! Do you have any last words?”

“Wait you make soul swords your slaves?”

“Yeah that’s right, there just tools to be used.”

“That’s just wrong, there’s no way in hell I am letting you make Terry your slave.”

"What can a soon to be dead man do to stop me? So, going back to my first question… any last words?”

“Yeah, this fight isn’t over yet!” Screamed Shane.

“Yeah that’s the spirit Shane” I screamed but of course nobody could hear me.

I then felt my sword body lift up in the air and then all of a sudden I landed in someone’s hands. Thankfully it was Shane’s hands. I could tell right away it was Shane again thanks to the red shirt, and the fact that the black night was standing right in front of us. Though when I saw Shane’s hands then I was shocked and apparently so was Mr. Death Blade.

Shane’s hands were glowing bright green.

“Oh how interesting it seems you weren’t a normal wielder after all. You have showed me something good so in return I will take my leave for now. But we will surely meet again one day boy, so you’d better prepare.”

With that the night walked away back into the woods followed by his monsters. As soon as they were out of sight, Shane collapsed to the floor.

“Terry I’m really glad that’s over with.”

“Me too man, but can you turn me back into a human.”

“Oh shit I forgot about that.”

“Ok please restore Terry to his original form, mysterious force.”

No matter what Shane said or did he was unable to restore me back into human form we spent a good ten minutes trying. I was beginning to get really scared because I didn’t want to be an inanimate object for the rest of my life.

“Hey Terry. Have you tried consulting that instruction manual of yours yet, to learn how to change back into a human.”

“Sorry Shane I already did try and it seems it only is good for finding spells and for some reason I can’t find any more spells.”

“I see. Hey have your tried thinking yourself back to your original human form.”

“No I haven’t, that might actually work. The first time I transformed into a sword I was thinking please give me a way to help Shane and then I became a sword.”

“Well then give it a shot.”

No sooner had I thought that then my sword body began to glow and expand. It was then that Shane let go of me. A few seconds later I could see again through my own eyes. For some reason or other, it was unusually cold and Shane was just staring at me with a look of shock. What the heck after everything that happened to us today what he is most surprised about is that I went back from a sword to human.

“Holy shit Terry!”

“What is it Shane, just say it already!” My voice sounded unusually high, like a girl’s.

“You’re a chick!!!”

“I’m a what? Hahaha! Nice joke man.” Taking a look down at my body I discovered to my horror it was not a joke. Sticking out of my chest were a pair of perky breasts…… and I was completely in the nude. I grabbed my mounds with both hands and it made me feel strange and it felt good.

“HOLY SHIT. I have BOOBS!!!”

It was then that I realized Shane could see everything. I suddenly felt embarrassed, and vulnerable. Before I would have had no problem standing in the nude in front of Shane we were both guys then but now it was uncomfortable.

“Eeeek” I shrieked covering my new anatomy with my hand, like I’ve seen girls do.

“Why am I a girl and where are my clothes. “

It wasn’t hard to find my clothes. I noticed them just laying there on the ground a couple of feet away.

“Oh that is where I unsheathed you. I think your clothing became the sword’s sheath. So when you untransformed you were no longer wearing your clothing.”

Shane kept staring down at my naked body like it was the most wonderful thing in the world. I didn’t blame him that much because I understood how it was like considering just seconds ago I was a guy. But geez I was his best friend still, did he have to check me out.

“Dude can you stop staring,” I said as I quickly put my t-shirt on. The t-shirt was now much too big for me now. It wore like a dress on me, but at least for now it provided me some coverage from the perverted eyes. Then I pulled up the shorts luckily they were elastic so they would do for now. I decided to go commando for now wearing my guy underwear would just be strange now.

“Yeah! Sorry Terry!”

“Next time make sure you sheath me before I turn back into a human.”

“Yeah ok dude…mam…I mean Terry.”

“Shane can you please stop checking me out!”

“Sorry I can’t help it.”

I started to cry right then and there. My best friend in the whole world was checking me out and I was a girl now. What the heck had I done to be punished this way?

Shane ran over and gave me a pat on the back a few times. I appreciated the support. It would have been too weird if he hugged me. At least he respected our friendship enough in this situation to realize that. After a bit I decided to man up and stop crying.

“Hey Terry after all that happened today let’s get home and settle everything there. I want to get out of here.”

“Yeah” I sniffed. “Good Idea.”

We finally were able to walk back to the campsite in peace although now it was kind of awkward and unnerving for me. Shane kept glancing at me nervously like he wanted to say something. I was rarely glad when we got back. I don’t know how much more awkward it could have gotten.

“Terry wait here a second.”

“Yeah it’s not like I want to go anywhere, looking like this.”

A few minutes later Terry came back. He was looking kind of nervous and had a hand behind his back making it obvious he was hiding something.

“What do you have there?”

“Umm well you see Michelle’s birthday is coming up so I kind of bought her a very special present. But umm right now I think it will help you more.” Shane began to pull the object out from behind his back.

My heart sank when I saw what he mysterious object was that Shane had just revealed. In his hands Shane held a small pink bag clearly labeled in sparkling letters Victoria Secret!

Author's Note: Well here is chapter 4 when the big transformation is revealed. I hope you enjoy this chapter. If you want me to get out more chapters quicker please kudos and if you want leave a nice comment. It helps motivate me to actually write.

Soul Sword Ch 5
Chapter 5: Self Discovery!

By Blackout

Editor: Zip

Terry was your typical average teenage boy. But like most stories he was about to startled by some unexplainable power but hey that’s what makes the story interesting. Read on as the life of one typical teenage boy except for his hobby of swordsmanship is turned around as he discovers a world he never thought he would enter in more ways than one.

 

“No fucking way am I wearing anything from Victoria Secret! You gotta be kidding me man.”

“Umm would you rather go commando?”

“Well no but its victoria Secret. Wait did you actually go into Victoria Secret to get lingerie for Michelle?”

“Hell no man, you wouldn’t catch me dead in there. I ordered it online.”

“Well I wouldn’t be caught dead in their clothes!”

“Look Terry, frankly you clothes are too big on you now. Without any sort of underwear on your body is just to revealing and distracting. I can see everything underneath your shirt.”

“Pervert” I said taking the bad glaring at Shane. It was beginning to get uncomfortable as the shirt was rubbing against my nipples. I took the little pink bag and pulled a lacy red pushup bra and a matching lace thong.

“Do you expect me to wear this?” I said holding up the thong.

“It’s the only female underwear I have with me, it better than nothing. You need to wear some underwear and no one would see it anyway.”

“I hate you.”

“Sorry, you can go change in the car and I will go pack up the campsite.”

“Fine but you better not look.”

“I would not dream of it.”

“That’s a lie and you know it.”

“Hahaha! This is different than when we peeked on the girls changing room. I mean it’s you Terry.”

“Just shut up.” I walked away and got into the car closing the door behind me. Taking off my shorts I looked down at my new equipment or lack of equipment. It was a painful sight to finally see for real, the symbol of my masculine pride now gone, replaced with feminine sensuality. As a guy, getting to the sacred haven was the ultimate goal, something I had never achieved as a guy. Yet now, seeing I had one it was not the same at all. It felt embarrassing and depressing to think about.

I decide… I really did not want to deal with that issue too much, so taking the little red thong I slipped both my legs through and brought it to rest comfortably across my vagina. As a guy we would usually refer to it as pussy. But now that I actually had one, referring to my anatomy like that felt wrong. The thong actually felt pretty good against my new region. Although the string riding up my butt was a little uncomfortable. Though, looking down on it, I had to admit it did look pretty cute there on me. If I was still a guy I would definitely have a hard on.

Quickly trying to erase such thoughts, I pulled my shorts back up. I was really glad now that I brought shorts with an elastic waist band. I had to take care of my breasts now. I really did need a bra to stop them from jiggling all around. I took off my shirt and got out the bra, trying to put it on when I realized I had had next to no idea how to put one on correctly. I tried many different ways to get my boobs into the cups and strap it from the back. I finally succeed by cupping my breasts with my hands to lay them down nicely in the cups and then I clipped the straps together in the back. The bra felt a little tight on me and I had to adjust the straps a bit, to make it a little more comfortable. I guess the bra was a little small on me. I had to smile a little at that one. I mean I had bigger boobs then Michelle and Michelle was considered hot. On the other hand… I had boobs bigger then Michelle. It was a bitter sweet moment for me.

The bra also looked pretty cute on me and it really added depth to my chests making it look bigger and more firm than it already was. The red lacey bra made me feel embarrassed at how sexual and cute it was on me. Although it was much better than having my breasts flopping up and down. It added support allowing me to feel more comfortable in this new body. I took my shirt and put it back on. A big mountain was now protruding under my shirt. Getting out of the car I had found Shane had already packed most everything.

“Wow that was quick.”

“Not really! You took your sweet time changing just your underwear. So did you like what you see?”

“You’re an asshole.”

“”Hahaha! Sorry I couldn’t help it.”

“Let’s load everything quickly so I can get the hell out of this forest.” I went to get one of the big duffel bags to load in the car.

“Hey Terry let me get that, you should get some of the smaller bags.”

“What? You’re underestimating me because I am a girl now?”

“No it’s just that … it looks kind of heavy for you.”

“Well I have it so I don’t need your help.”

“Ok, you got it.” That was damn right I had it. Just because I was a girl, now doesn’t mean I was going to let guys do favors for me and treat me like some delicate daisy. I hoisted the bad up and nearly fell. It was a lot heavier for me to carry now. But I wasn’t about to give in. I hoisted pulled and lifted it into the back of the car. Take that Shane… I could still get the work done. Although I really had lost some muscle. It was a lot tougher to move, then when I was a guy.

“See, I could get the bag into the car.”

“I never said you couldn’t, I just thought you would like my help.” Looking back, I saw Shane had already got the rest of the luggage in the car.

“We’re done already.”

“Yeah it seems after that the effects on me from when I was holding you in my hands didn’t completely disappear when you became human again.”

“Excuse me” I said raising my eyebrow at him. “Did you say when I was holding me?”

“Well yeah. How else am I supposed to say it? But yeah I guess it does have a whole new meaning, now that you’re a chick.”

“Excuse me CHICK?”

“Chill, hahaa! I was just joking.”

“Yeah I know. It’s really not fair though. You got faster and stronger and I became a freaking girl.”

“Well not as strong as when I was umm… holding you. But yeah pretty much. But hey you are a beauty.”

“Save it. Let’s get home.”

“Agreed, I am ready for this crazy trip to be over.” We both got into the car with me riding shot gun. Shane started up the car and we hit the road. I was really thankful to finally get out of there. The trip was cut short, but after everything that happened, I wanted nothing to do with this place ever again.

~o~O~o~

We had been riding for about two boring hours. Thoughts of my future were running through my head but I was just so tired all I wanted to do was sleep.

“Hey, I know you probably don’t want to think about it right now… but have you thought about what we’re going to tell our parents when we get home?”

“Not really. I thought I would just handle the situation as it came.”

“Yeah that makes sense.”

“Though… what are you going to do about college? You’re clearly not the guy named Terry anymore.”

“Can you stop, your making me more depressed.”

“Sorry! I just thought talking about it would help.”

“Well it’s not! Ok!”

“Yeah I hear that, but seriously I do care for you.” Shane said putting a hand on my back.

“SHANE” I scream.

“Oh sorry! no touchy right?”

“NO! WATCH THE ROAD!”
BOOM!
A deer had suddenly come out of nowhere and we had crashed right into it. Shane had lost control of the vehicle and was doing all he could to get some control back. The car swerved back and forth. Shane managed to regain some control of the vehicle again. He quickly pulled us to the side of the rode and stopped the car. Luckily neither of us got hurt. I was pretty startled though. He got out of the car to inspect the damage.

“Shit, this sucks. Why the hell did this have to happen to us now of all times?”

“How bad is it?” I asked.

“Well the front of the car is all messed up and we blew a tire, anyway we can’t drive on it.”

“We should call triple AAA. Can I see your cell phone, I left mine at home, you know to get away from technology.” I said disapprovingly.

“Yeah, well about that. My phone is kind of dead.”

“Don’t tell me you were on the phone with Michelle until your battery died.”

“Umm yeah!”

“Damn that must have been one hell of a long conversation. Well what do you propose we do now then?”

“Hey isn’t that a house over there?” About fifteen yards from us was a dirt road and it seemed to lead to a pretty small but cute white house off the side of the road. It was a little strange and out of the way place to live, but who knows, maybe they could help us.

“Yeah it is! Let’s head over there, maybe somebody there can help us.”

Author's Note: Ouch Murphy's law sucks. What a time to hit a deer. I guess Shane was to distracted by Terry's new look. lol! Please if you want comment and if you liked the story kudos it. That is the best motivation there is.

Soul Sword Ch 6
Chapter 6: The Wheels of Fate Begin to Turn!

By Blackout

Editor: Zip

Terry was your typical average teenage boy. But like most stories he was about to startled by some unexplainable power but hey that’s what makes the story interesting. Read on as the life of one typical teenage boy except for his hobby of swordsmanship is turned around as he discovers a world he never thought he would enter in more ways than one.

Please read the Author's Note of this chapter.

 

Shane left to go up to the house and check things out. While Shane was in the car I couldn’t properly let my feelings out. I had been running on pure adrenaline for a while and had been holding back the tears. Now finally being alone it all just came out. I just kept crying and crying. This whole situation totally sucked and I hated being a girl. My whole life was flipped upside down. Sure, being a sword was cool and all, but now I was also a girl. Everyone would treat me differently and there was nothing I could do to change that.

“Why? Why me?” I cried out. I never liked crying in front of people and so I tried my hardest to not cry. But the tears were beginning to pour out like rain. I felt so alone now, more so then ever before. It was also probably the new hormones that added to just how emotional I had become all of a sudden. I was also confused with my entire world being flipped upside down, me becoming a sword, and the mutant zombies. If I said this to anyone before I would be pretty certain they would say I was insane. Now I wasn’t so sure. It is one thing to say such fantasies don’t exist; it’s all together another thing to have them occur before your very eyes. While the shock was still new, I could barely think about the situation, and I was just trying to calm down. Now I was upset, because my life was destroyed since my gender was flipped, as well as being completely unnerved, because the world no long made any sense to me.

Before I knew it though, Shane had already come back from the house and with him was an old man. The old man had a receded hairline around his grey hair and hazel colored eyes with deep wrinkles that portrayed years of wisdom.

“I’m sorry miss; I see you’re still startled from the accident?”

“Yeah!” I muttered knowing I couldn’t tell him the truth.

“My name is Howard by the way… Mam?”

“Terry.”

“Nice meeting you. You look rather worn and tired; you must have been through a lot recently. Why don’t you go head inside? My wife will fix you up.” Wiping my tears on my shirt sleeve I headed inside. Howard’s wife Miranda was very kind she gave me some food.

While I was eating I couldn’t help but start crying again. I still was very upset and shocked with the whole ordeal. Miranda was a sweet old lady with dyed brown hair and warmth oozed from her body she seemed like the typical kind grandma. She instantly wrapped me in a hug and embraced me.

“I don’t know what you’re going through sweetie, but I will let you know something everything happens in this world for a reason.”

“Well then the world is cruel.” I cried.

“Yes it is. But we can either look back with regret… or move on to a brighter tomorrow.”

“That’s a nice thing to say but in the end it’s worthless.”

“Maybe, but that doesn’t mean we can give up on life.”

“Yeah! But it still hurts; and I have never been more confused, upset, and lost in my life. And my emotions keep spinning out of control now.”

“Everything will work itself out. You’ll see.”

“Thanks. I never thought I would lose it here in a stranger’s house.”

“Well we’re no longer strangers, Terri. You have eaten some of my pie, and I only give my pie to people I like, and I like you.”

“Thanks.”

“No problem. Listen, I am going to go check on the stove. If you need anything just call me.”

As she left, Shane came back into the house and found me. He had a real serious face when he approached me. No matter how much of an asshole Shane could sometimes be on the outside, I knew he was a good guy at heart. Which is why I was friends with him… but not his girlfriend.

“Hey Terry how are you feeling?” Asked Shane.

“Better thanks!”

“Hey, I need to apologize to you!”

“Its ok man, I already know.”

“No it’s not ok. I have been doing some thinking and I realized just how much of a jerk I have been to you since this all has happened. I was trying to joke with you, like we did as bros before this change thing happened. But with you being a girl and me trying to joke about the situation, to relieve stress, it mostly comes out as bad pickups and makes me look like a huge jerk wad.”

“Yeah it does.” I said laughing in between my tears.

“Hey, there is no need to be so strong and hold it together like you have been doing for the past couple of hours. I know it must be hard, so if you ever need anything just tell me. I’m here for you.

“Thanks” I started crying again. I was just so emotional right now, more so then I had ever been in my entire life… and it sucked. I had tried holding it all in to keep myself from succumbing to the pain. I just wanted to ignore it and maybe it would all go away, but it was obvious… it wasn’t.

“Again I am really sorry. I would never do anything to hurt you man. It’s just when I look at you its really hard for me to imagine my best friend Terry, under there. You look so different.”

“Yeah, I really do” I said crying even more. I instantly hugged Shane… and he hugged me back.

“Shane what am I going to tell my parents. My life is officially over.”

“I’m not sure you want it, but if you want, I will be there with you.”

“Thanks Shane. I like it when you’re like this instead of when you’re in douchebag player mode.”

“Yeah I’m sorry about that. It’s a part of what makes me who I am.” We pulled away and both smiled weakly at each other.

“I know, but I am not in the mood for it with all that has happened. So if you would please tone it down for me.”

“Yeah I will work on it. Hey, you want to see if the car is ready yet. Triple AAA got here about five minutes ago so they should be done soon with attaching the spear tire.”

“Sure, I’m ready to head home.”

Triple AAA sure did work fast when they got there. The car had a spare tire put on and we were all good to hit the road now. The police had come and killed the deer and took Shane’s insurance information. Unfortunately for Shane that meant his dad would hear about the accident from the police. Needless to say Shane’s dad was not going to be thrilled, when we go back, that much was for sure. We both said our goodbyes to Howard and Miranda and then hit the road to home.

It was late at night when we pulled up to Shane’s house. We had decided that I would spend the night there tonight and then deal with my parents tomorrow. We walked up the door and Shane unlocked the door. To Shane’s horror, we found his dad sitting there waiting for us.

“Hey dad!”

“How is it going Mr. Hailon?” Hailon was Shane’s last name.

“Shane you have some answering to do.”

“Mr. Hailon we can explain.”

“First of all… who are you?”

~o~O~o~

“Hey Howard do you believe in fate?” Miranda asked her husband.

“I like to think that we all have some free choice in this world?”

“I’m sure we do, but mysterious occurrences do happen that can only be described as fate.”

“Yeah! I never thought a new sword would be discovered after all these years. It’s almost like when they found Excalibur!” Howard replied. He could barely contain how excited he was.

“Hahaha, few know that King Arthur’s wife used to be his best friend. But it must have been fate that brought those two to our front door.”

“Maybe, but fate it just another word for accidental.”

“Yeah that’s true. Well… I better go contact Swords Master Cedric and alert him about two new students at the University.”

"Hahaha! I don't know if fate exists. But if it does it has one hell of a sense of humor!"

 

Author's Note: I did my best to take the comments into account and improve the story.

First off I wasn't thinking of it as the characters coping to well but rather the location where they were impacting how they were thinking and reacting (The environmental stimuli). Everything happened so soon and they really had not been in a place that allowed all that happened to sink in. They were more worried about getting to a better, safer location.

I am expecting Terry to have more break downs around times that remind her more about her old self so expect more of that when they finally get home. I did add some emotional identity crisis in this chapter allowing the facts of the change to sink in.

Also with the comment about Shane. His character is a little tricky. I hope in this chapter I showed the better side of his personality and why he was acting like he was. That was closer to how I pictured Shane. (Possible spoiler: And then having Shane change slowly for the better because of Terry.)

As for plot development I am showing more of the plot now. I assure you there is a good plot but this story is more frequent chapters with each chapter moving things forward a little bit. So we aren't far enough along the story where I can give you the details without spoiling the story.

Remember these chapter are about 1200 words so we really haven't went that far in the story even though we are on chapter 6 with this. It can be seen as only chapter 2 in a less frequently updated series. (Why do you think I am having trouble updating elemental awakening: It takes to long to write a single chapter for me when I write large chapters so it begins to bore me.)

Also please kudos and comment (Maybe about the story itself). If you ask me questions I will try to answer on the story but without giving away spoilers.) Also the higher the kudos the more motivated I get. There is a great satisfaction knowing people enjoy your story.

Soul Sword Ch 7
Its me Terry!

By Blackout

Terry was your typical average teenage boy. But like most stories he was about to startled by some unexplainable power but hey that’s what makes the story interesting. Read on as the life of one typical teenage boy except for his hobby of swordsmanship is turned around as he discovers a world he never thought he would enter in more ways than one.

 
Oh shit! I had been thinking about the situation the whole car ride but now that I was here my head was blank. This whole situation sucked. Here I was in my best friend’s house having to explain to a man I practically saw as a second father that I had somehow magically transformed into a girl.

“Yeah dad it’s a long story….this is…”

“It’s me Terry.”

“Right your Terry I get it” Mr. Helion said sarcastically.

“It really is Terry dad you got to believe us.”

“Do you honestly expect me to believe your best friend Terry all of a sudden became a girl?”

“Dad I told you it was a long story.”

“Shane this prank has gone too far. This is probably some hijinks you came up with to get out of the camping trip.”

“Mr. Helion do you remember that time Shane and I unlocked your beer cabinet and got really messed up. You were really angry at us and handed our asses to us. Or that time you forgot your wife’s birthday so you had me buy her a present.”

“Dad you forgot mom’s birthday?”

“This is not the time for that right now Shane.”

“Oh right, sorry.”

“Ok I believe you. After all being your father I can tell when you’re lying to me Shane. Like that time you thought you got away with breaking your mom’s special vase. The truth was I just hated that vase too.”

“Really you knew?”

“Yes Shane. Anyway tell me what happened to you guys.”

“Do you honestly expect me to believe Terry became a sword?”

“Dad we’re not making this up.”

“Show me then.”

“What?”

“Become a sword.”

“Well I’ll try I guess?”

I really only had to try to think about it when I began to shine again. The world went dark again and I knew I was a sword. I immediately thought of changing back and I did. I was weird becoming a sword.

“If I did not just see that with my own eyes I would never believe it.”

“Tell me about it.”

“Well as shocking as this night has been there is no use thinking about this on a lack of sleep.”

“Hey, dad where will Terry sleep?”

“Terry can sleep in Cassie’s room.”

Cassie was Shane’s sister who had gone off to college a few years ago. During college she began to become more and more distant from their family and now they rarely ever hear from her since she graduated.

I said good night and went upstairs. Cassie’s room was next to Shane’s. I had never been in there before. Opening the door and turning on the lights I found a typical girls room. This whole day had taken to much from me. I don’t think I have ever been this exhausted in my life. Cassie’s bed was so comfortable though that before long I was fast asleep.

“Yawn!”

I hated mornings so much. Thankful I think I can sleep in today. I will be able to hang out with Shane and just have some guy time, although something felt off. I had the strangest dream yesterday in which I became sword and a girl. Thank god that could never happen. Though there was a strange weight on me and I felt weird and kind of sore today. I sat straight up. Looking down at my chest I was horrified to discover the yesterday’s events where a reality.

“Eeeeeeeeeeeeekk!”

Yesterday I had been pumped on so much adrenaline that I felt upset but the total impact on my life had not sunken in. This whole situation sucked something fierce.

Knock! Knock!

“Hey are you ok in there? I heard screaming.” It was Shane’s mom, she was probably already up to date on the whole ordeal.

“No I just woke up to discover yesterday was not a dream.”

“Hah that’s funny. It seems you still have your sense of humor though, that’s good. Do you mind if I come in?”

“Sure go right ahead.”

“Wow I would never have had believed it in all my years.”

“Well it’s reality and it sucks.”

“I’m sure it does but it’s not all bad. I’ve been a woman my whole life and I couldn’t be happier.”

“Yes but you were not born a man.”

“True, but you can’t sit here moping all day. It’s time to get dressed.” Mrs. Helion has always been like a second mother to me partly because I was at Shane’s house all the time. I guess I could use her help right now but the whole situation was embarrassing.

“Terry I can read you like a book, don’t worry there is nothing to be embarrassed about. It’s not anything I haven’t seen before.”

Reluctantly I striped down.

“My, my you certainly are a looker.”

“Please don’t tease me.”

“Ahaha, sorry about that. Couldn’t resist.”

Mrs. Hellion went over to Cassie’s dresser opened it and got the female underwear out.” If I had to put a bra and panties on day after day I might end up insane. I mean I liked female underwear as much as the next guy. Heck I would even admit that I now looked good in it. Yesterday I had the same thought as well as I put on the lingerie. But it was me looking at a girl in underwear that I found cute. But when the facts hit me that the girl was me, the whole illusion was ruined.

“Here Terry I got you some underwear, I know it’s not what your used to but I did keep it simple.”

Thank heaven it was not something frilly or girly. It was the basic white bra and panties. Still the idea of putting on panties was very embarrassing. I slipped on the panties finding they were quite snug. I then tried to put on the bra but it was a bit tougher, no matter what I did I just couldn’t get it to feel right.

“Terry let me help you. After you have slipped on both straps you should lean forward to make sure you get your breasts in the cups. Then you strap it in the back and adjust the straps to your liking.”

“That’s better but it’s still slightly uncomfortable.”

“Yes I believe it would be. You’re going to need to be measured for the right fit.”

“Uhg you gotta be kidding me.”

“I wish I was, but that’s something all woman need, you don’t want your breasts sagging do you.”

“Ewww that’s disgusting.” I pictured my new self being older with saggy breasts and decided that as long as I remained a girl I was going to wear bras.

“Yep so you need to wear a bra, it also keeps them from being very uncomfortable and embarrassing. I got you some clothes from Cassie’s drawers.”

The shirt was a girl shirt but no overly girly. It was a tight fitting short sleeve shirt with a picture of a cute panda on it, and black sleeves. The shorts would be a little more embarrassing since they were red short shorts. I put them on anyway. It was less embarrassing then standing around in my underwear.

“Wow even these simple clothes look good on you. Go look in the mirror.”

I did look pretty good except for my hair which was a bit of a mess, but not all that bad.

“This really sucks do I really have to go through all this?” I broke down crying. It was no longer me I saw in the mirror. In the mirror was a gorgeous young lady. Not Terry, it was not me.

“I’m afraid so, at least for now. But your no alone there is people here who love you.”

“Yeah but what about my parents? What will I tell them?”

“Don’t worry we already took care of that for you. Your mother is on her way here right now.”

“SHIT MY MOM IS COMING HERE?” I screamed.

“Terry no need for that language here. Your mother is a wonderful person and will love you regardless.”

“You don’t understand my mother always wanted a GIRL!”

…to be continued

Author's Note: Sorry for the long break. I finally finished this chapter. Yes the story does progress slowly but it should pick up.

Mother Troubles

By Blackout

Terry was your typical average teenage boy. But like most stories he was about to startled by some unexplainable power but hey that’s what makes the story interesting. Read on as the life of one typical teenage boy except for his hobby of swordsmanship is turned around as he discovers a world he never thought he would enter in more ways than one.

 

“What do you mean your mom always wanted a girl? Why does that matter?”

“Have you ever looked through magazines like Women’s Fashion Weekly, or Hot New Looks?”

“No. Why do you ask?”

“My mom is Maria Young the model! She’s a freaking model! Think about it she is going to want to get me in all the cutest girly fashions and complete submerge me in girl world. It’s going to be a nightmare.”

“I’m sure it can’t be all that bad, she is your mother after all.”

“You don’t understand my mother is obsessed with the idea of having a daughter. She always brings home samples of the newest brands of clothes girly teen clothes saying how she wished she had a daughter to give them to. She has a collection of these clothes upstairs just in case she ever gets a daughter.”

“Well Terry you’re going to have to face her sometime.”

“I know I just wanted to put it off as long as possible.”

“Don’t worry she’s your mother and she loves you. I’ll be here right next to you also.”

“Thanks Mrs. Helion” I said forcing a smile. Mrs. Helion was always like my other mother. At least she didn’t obsess over the latest brand clothing.

“Come on let’s head downstairs and get something to eat.”

“Ok that sounds good. I’m starving.”

We headed downstairs to the kitchen where Shane and his dad were already waiting for us. They were having the very basic cereal and bagels for breakfast. I sat down got myself a bagel and cream cheese with lox and started eating. Unfortunately Shane kept glancing over at me and when I turned to look at him he glanced away. Fortunately for me Mrs. Helion stepped in.

“For gosh sakes Shane you act like you’ve never seen a girl before. She is still Terry your friend. Don’t treat her like a stranger.”

“Yeah I’m sorry Terry, I’m just having trouble digesting this all.”

“I understand, if you want we could spar and just hang out sometime later when I have this all sorted out. I just don’t want to lose you as my best friend.”

“Yeah that sounds great.”

I was happy he agreed with me. I was worried about was that something was going to change between us. Shane had always been a brother to me, so much so that the thought of losing him pained me.

Ring! Ring!

“That must be your mother Terry.”

Mrs. Helion went to get the door. Upon opening the door the slim pretty figure of my mother gleamed. She was certainly a model with luscious curves, nice big breasts, long brown hair, all in all a killer body. Unfortunately I often had friends say “man what I wouldn’t do to get with your mom.” Even worse was the fact that now I was her daughter, and I had her gorgeous genes. For some reason I was not all that good looking as a guy, but as a girl I was something else.

“Hello Mrs. Helion. I am her to pick up my… Oh my God EEEK Terry you’re so cute!” My mom spotted me ran over and gave me the biggest girl hug imaginable.

“Ummm mom you’re crushing me.”

“Oh! Sorry sweetie. I am just so excited to finally have a daughter. But look at those clothes. They are way to boorish and boring for any daughter of mine to be wearing. We need to go shopping for the latest fashions. We are going to have so much fun, just some quality mother daughter time.”

“Uhg I was afraid of this. Mom I really don’t like being a girl. Please can you understand that?”

“Terry I am you mother and as long as I’m paying for your expenses you will live by my rules, and I will have no tomboy as a daughter.”

“ARE YOU F**KING kidding me. I literally just became a girl and you’re already trying to girlitize me. Don’t you ever consider my feelings?”

“Tori watch your language, a young lady does not use such foul language!”

“Tori? Mom my name is Terry!”

“Well now that you’re a girl I thought it would be more appropriate to have you go by Tori.”

“Don’t I have any say in this?”

“No Tori as your mother I know what’s best for you.”
“STOP CALLING ME TORI! I HATE YOU!” I yelled. I stormed out of the kitchen running up the stairs.

“Tori come back here this instant young lady and apologize.” I was so pissed at her that I would not even dignify that with a response. She thought she was the victim. I had only been transformed into a girl a few days ago and already she was trying to make me the daughter she always wanted. She rarely ever fussed over me as a guy but now that I was her daughter suddenly everything changed and she cared more. Hell no was that ever going to happen.
I heard the fighting continuing downstairs. Apparently Mrs. Helion was sticking up for me.

“She is your child.”

“Exactly, she is my child and I will raise her as I like.”

“You need to consider what she wants.”

“She doesn’t know what’s best for her.”

“And I suppose you do?”

“This discussion is over Mrs. Helion. I will be taking Tori home now.” With that my mom marched upstairs and grabbed me by the wrist. I knew better than to fight against my mother. Last time I tried I ended up with a bottle of soda poured over my head, I was grounded for a month and she made my life hell for an entire year. My mom was one of those women who knew just what buttons to push to make someone tick. Women are scary like that. Sure most men were physically superior but when it came to psychological warfare women were superior, and my mom was at the top of the heap. I cringed; thinking about the fact that I would have to deal with that in girl world.

As I was leaving the house I saw Mrs. Helion moth the words “I’m sorry” to me. I was really thankful she cared for me. But I knew I was doomed. My mom marched me to the car and literally threw me in. Both mom and I sat in silence the whole way home. Though I had to say that car ride home was about the worst experience I had ever had in my life.

~o~O~o~

After what seemed like an eternity we finally got home. My home was what you would expect of an upper suburban house.

“Tori go upstairs and take a shower. I am going to go fetch you some nicer clothes. We have a lot that needs to be done. Get you new clothes, remodel your room, and then we will discuss your future.”

“I really hate you mom!”

“Tori I am your mother. Now go upstairs and get into the shower this instant.” I reluctantly went upstairs to take a shower. As much as I was angry at mom right now, I had to admit I did need a shower. I had not showered for a few days now since going on the camping trip, and boy was stinky.

I got undressed and turned on the shower to allow it to warm up but there was something missing. My 2 in 1 shampoo and conditioner was gone as well as my old spice body wash. Replaced with them were many different bottles of shampoo, conditioner, body wash, and face moisturizers.

“Hey mom, where did you put my shower supplies?”

“You can’t use those anymore they would damage your beautiful hair and skin. I got you much more suitable stuff for the new you.”

“I don’t want to smell all girly! I don’t even know how to use them.”

“Ok I will be right up to help you?”

Unfortunately my mom did walk in about a minute later as promised. I really did not want to rely on her but who else was here that could help me.

“I had my doubts but you certainly are my child, you look almost like me when I was a child.”

“Really thanks. That makes me so happy.” I jeered sarcastically. Mom just ignored me though.

“Ok step into the shower and get your hair wet. Apply the shampoo and really lather it all in. This will take longer than you were used to.”

“Which one should I use?”

“Well today will be more relaxed Tori so you should go with this one.” She said as she handed me a bottle of shampoo. It did take a while and before I knew it my hair smelled like roses. Conditioner took just as long. Using my new body wash also made me smell more girly. It was an interesting sensation as I massaged in over my body. The water never felt so good on my skin either. It felt really good to get clean. Unfortunately my mom saw me smiling and gave me a big grin and decided to use that as an opportunity to take me a step further into womanhood.

“Now we should shave those legs. You don’t want to be a Sasquatch.”

“No mom I am not shaving my legs. Not now or ever.”

“Suit yourself you will have to shave them eventually.”

I tuned off the shower dried and wrapped myself in a towel like my mom showed. It was weird to have a towel moved up and wrapped around my breasts instead of my waist, just another reminder of my predicament.

“Geez what do I supposed to do about this mop of wet hair?”

“You need to blow-dry it first. After that I will show you how to wrap it in a towel.” After what seemed like an eternity I finally got out of the bathroom. I had also discovered the reason girls take so long in the bathroom.

“Tori I left some clothes for you on your bed, go get dressed. I will be back shortly; I need to make a quick phone call.”

I got out of the bathroom in a jiffy, strangely happy to smell good. I guess after being in the wilderness, one does feel relieved after a nice shower. But this was different. I really liked the way I felt and smelled.

I suddenly had the strange suspicion that something was watching me.

“Hello young lady.” I jumped startled by the unknown voice.

The voice seemed to echo from my bed and sure enough there was someone or something there.

“What the HELL are you?!!!”

Soul Sword Ch 9
I'm Going to College!

By Blackout

Editor: Draflow

There sitting on my bed was a blooming two inch tall fairy. She was fairly cute as far as fairies go. This fairy looked like a mini inferno. She had red hair, and a red dress on. I wondered if I touched her would I catch on fire.

“Wait fairies exist?!!!” After all the surprises I’ve been through you’d think I wouldn’t freak out. But seeing a fairy was still very surprising.

“Well excuse me for existing.”

“Well after what I’ve been through I guess anything is possible.”

“Well technically I’m not a fairy. I am more of a familiar born from the union of wielder and magic swords, such as you.”

“So you’re my familiar.”

“No I am the familiar of Lady Castillo.”

“Then why are you here?”

“I’ve been sent to extend an invitation to you and your wielder to attend the Excalibur Institute for Swordsmanship.” In some ways this was big new to me since I could no longer attend the college I was originally planning to attend and if my mother had any say in it I may as well end up in charm school. But wait why did I need to attend with Shane? Considering he was my wielder. That was another issue the whole idea of him being my wielder was degrading and diminishing in some ways. It was like I was a possession.

“Do I need to attend with my wielder?”

“Well technically no but you would not do very well in the school without your original wielder, though that has never happened before.”

“What do you mean not do well?”

“It is a proven fact that your true power as a sword can only fully manifest when wielded by your true wielder.” I guess that made sense. It was still an unnerving feeling with me becoming a girl and all. I looked down and realized I hadn’t changed yet.

“Would you give me some privacy to change quickly?”

“Sure I have been informed of your unique transformation, and completely understand your need for privacy.” The fairy flew toward a corner of the room and kept her head against the wall. I wondered how they knew I was originally a boy. But I guess if they could figure out where I lived figuring out I was Terry originally a boy wouldn’t be too hard; especially considering I was an only child. I took one look at the clothes my mom set out for me and tossed them to the floor. She had put out a dress and the frilliest matching underwear I had ever seen. Instead I put on the clothes Shane’s mom had given me this morning. It was a good thing I had saved them.

“Ok fairy I’m decent now. By the way what’s your name?”

“I am Gloria.”

“So how do I know I can trust you people?” After meeting the Death Blade guy I really did not want to walk into a place he worked for.

“Excalibur institute exists to help people like you. There are some bad people out there who would love to control your power. We provide young swords and wielders the education to harness their own powers.” They did sound good. I couldn’t help but imagine a Harry Potter scene except that it was magic swords instead of wands and I was the sword. I decided it was best to keep my meeting with the Death Blade guy a secret. Who knew what kinds of trouble it would cause.
“Wait how do I get there? I doubt this place just appears on the internet with directions on how to get there.” The fairy suddenly spun around and out of thin air produced a package. It was so cool. As strange and freaky as this meeting was seeing the laws of physics broken was awesome. What would my physics teacher have to say to that?

“Inside that package is all the necessary information needed?” I guess some things stayed the same.

“Well it’s been nice meeting you Terri. I have to go now.”

“Nice meeting you to Gloria.” Gloria flew out the window like it was the most natural thing in the world. It was so cool. I wondered if Shane and I would get a familiar like that. But first I would need to get my mother to agree.

~o~O~o~

“Sure.”

“Wait you mean you’re OK with me going to Excalibur.”

“Why wouldn’t I be? You need to go to college.”

“But I’m a girl now. I thought you would want me to be all girly and follow in your footsteps as a model.”

“That has nothing to do with you going to college. Plus it’s in England. London is practically the fashion capital of the world. I’ll finally have an excuse to go there as much as I want.” Now it made sense. My mother was in love with London. If it wasn’t for dad and me she would practically live there. But I guess it was lucky for me otherwise I might not have been allowed to go. My dad was relatively more understanding then mom. He was patient and was usually the one who helped calm my mother down. If my mom had said no I planned to go to dad he was usually the one who got her to understand. Fortunately she was Ok with it.

“Just one more thing mom. About my name I want to continue being called Terry.”

“But Terry is more of a boy’s name and is not very cute.”

“Then how about Terri? Spelled T-e-r-r-i. It’s a girl’s name, and while it may seem a bit boyish to you, the spelling is cute.”

“No young lady should have a boyish sounding name.”

“But you can’t just change my name mom. It’s my name.”

“Yes and I’m your mother, and I don’t think a young lady should have any name remotely male. Don’t even get me started on the name Alex.”

“How about a this? If I get to keep the name Terri, I will go out shopping with you and not complain at any of the clothes you choose.” My mother knew how much I would be against anything remotely girly so I knew this would appeal to her. As much as I did not want a girly wardrobe I figured this was the only way I would convince her to allow me to keep my name. I also knew how much it meant to my mother to have a mother daughter shopping trip. I could anyway buy my own clothes once I was out of her sight and in college.

“So you’re saying you won’t complain what I buy you?”

“Yep.” But of course she couldn’t force me to wear them.

“Ok well see when your father gets home.” Luckily I didn’t have to wait too long before my father got home. He was usually the mediator between me and my mother.

“How’s my Terri? Something has certainly changed. But I can’t quite figure out what it is.” Both my dad and I had a laugh at that one. It was good having him home and I needed a good laugh. But mostly I was happy that my father still accepted me as his child. I was a little upset about my change in sex.

“So that’s what happened dad.” I had told my dad the whole story as soon as he got home.

“I see. Don’t worry about it. I will talk to your mother and work things out.” There was some screaming and yelling going on but it seems dad had managed to calm mom down in the end.

“So how did it go?”

“Well you still need to go on your shopping trip without complaining but you get to keep your name. Really, you and you mother are like oil and water. You both fight over the stupidest things.” I was glad everything had worked out and I would be allowed to keep my name, though I was dreading the inescapable shopping trip. But all that didn’t matter because in one week I would be heading to Excalibur Institute for Swordsmanship.
