Taking it All

Eric hated school. He'd managed to get into one of the most elite schools in the country with the help of a lucky scholarship. He tried his best to maintain grades, but the elite nature of the school was cutthroat and he barely managed to scrape by. But that wasn't why he hated school. No, he hated school because of the "3 queens." These girls were from the richest families in the country and had the looks, talents and charisma to match. This meant that Eric, who came from nothing, was an affront to their eyes and they relentlessly bullied them. The two cronies Karen and Christina were bad enough. They'd had him beaten and mocked him relentlessly. The ringleader Isabella was on a whole other level. She held public campaigns of humiliation that were so horrendous and cruel none of the other students could watch. The hierarchy was determined by family and she was at the top, so no student would dare stand in her way. One poor teacher who tried to stop her had ended up losing their teaching license when Isabella used her family's power to crush them. Eric wondered how much longer he could bare it.

Eric sat on a park bench late one evening raging against his treatment. "If only I could take everything from them. Show them what it's like to crawl around in the dirt like the worms they are." More dark thoughts poured out from him. Usually it was only a way to vent his frustrations, but tonight he meant it. Isabella had stripped him naked and had her cronies march him around on his hands and knees throughout the school. The other girls had taken turns forcing him to lick their shoes clean. He despised them with every fiber of his being. His ramblings were interrupted by a cackle. "Seems your thoughts are rather dark tonight, kid." Eric spun around to see an old woman.

"Yeah, so what? Are you going to tell me it's wrong? They deserve it. They deserve worse." The woman laughed. It was terrifying sound.

"No, no, no. I like you, you're honest. And those girls seem like they really deserve it." Eric looked at her skeptically. "Don't worry dear. What if I told you that you could take everything from them. Just wear this necklace and when they corner you next all you have to do is say the words 'I claim all that is yours.' Simple right?" Eric nodded and accepted the necklace with some reluctance. The woman grinned then disappeared. Eric couldn't believe his eyes, but the necklace was still in his hands. He noticed them shaking. Well whatever happened it couldn't be worse then the bullying.

It didn't take long for perfect situation. He'd been eating lunch in the storage shed hoping for some peace when the door slammed open.

"Oh look, it's the pig." The trio marched in. The pushed him off his seat and mushed his food into the ground. Eric had enough. He spoke the words the old lady told him to and glared at the trio for the first time. "Oh, are you thinking of fighting back this time? Big mistake." Karen reached a hand out to grab him, but when she reached him she froze. All of a sudden a black essence seemed to pour from her and flow into Eric. She screamed as her good looks quickly faded into something repulsive. Her hair lost its luster, and her curves disappeared. Fat flowed from every direction and soon a pudgy, ugly girl was looking back. Meanwhile Eric's pudge disappeared. In it's place slight curves formed. Eric looked like a cute girl now. The other girls were frozen in place unable to move. Eric pounced on Christina next, reveling in the rush of power he felt. The process repeated for Christina. As the essence flowed into him he felt a rush of confidence and his posture fixed itself. He now moved with a feminine grace that oozed refinement. His curves flowed one step further, now giving him quite the attractive figure. His face reshaped and now he'd rank among the countries top beauties. Eric's eyes shifted to Isabella, his most hated foe. Her eyes portrayed a fear that she couldn't express. Eric glided over to her, appearing like a princess out of a fairytale and grasped Isabella's wrist. The essence that poured from her was immense compared to the other two. Eric felt everything shift. His face reshaped once again, this time into the visage of the goddess of beauty. Her once luxurious locks now flowed down his back. Eric’s curves fleshed out into truly ridiculous proportions. He felt the intelligence of the girls combine in his head unlocking an unparalleled genius. Finally Eric's little friend disappeared and Eric finished his transformation into a full woman. She needed a new name. Lucille sprung into her head and it felt right.

Lucille looked down at the transformed Isabella, and the name Issac seemed more fitting. She felt reality start to shift. The three losers before her were the scholarship students. She was now the heiress to the largest company in the world. She ranked top in beauty, intelligence, talent, potential. Anything she participated in she excelled. The tatters of the clothes flowed around each person, leaving Lucille in a one-of-a-kind designer dress and shoes. Her underwear reformed and she suppressed a shudder. Meanwhile the peasants beneath her were wearing standard uniforms. Something she was above now. Nobody could say anything as everyone was her thrall. They all worshiped her, and served her. After all she was born different. Born to rule. She looked down and a cruel smile formed. "The loser and his harem. You disgust me, make sure never to cross my sight or you'll be sorry." The pathetic figures could do nothing but nod and bow their heads. Lucille laughed. Her voice was melodic and those listening couldn't help but be enchanted. She needed food now and decided she could stomach the food the private chefs in the cafeteria made and strutted over. The students parted and looked at her in awe. They had lost three queens, but now had gained an almighty empress.
