Chapter 2: Modesty
Peyton sighed. With her shift over, she could finally focus on some personal time, specifically organize her meal plan: Two chicken breasts with rice, a yogurt as a snack and a protein shake every day for the next week. Stood over the kitchen counter, she counted the breasts individually, the rice boiling away gently in the background. She’d just bought two six-packs of yogurt on the way home and would no doubt buy another before the week was even halfway through.
Grunting softly, she pulled her shirt off over her head, allowing her muscles to finally properly breathe. Just by standing over the counter Peyton could feel her biceps’ tendons pull and constrict, taut from the evident lack of oxygen supplied to them throughout the day from hiding them. Her friends and colleagues knew about the muscles and even accepted them - it was from Priscilla they had to be hidden, knowing she would derogatorily mouth off. Her earlier comments about Masha Konovaleva were proof of that.
The TV was on in the background, though muted. Peyton didn’t have much interest in watching network shows these days, between exclusive streaming services on the rise, her part-time job as a personal trainer and the other as a hairdresser, not to mention working out in her own time, she could barely keep up with a schedule for such things. Ironic, Peyton not being able to adhere to a timetable. Even so, the vibrant colours and flashing from the TV caught her attention, like disco music pulling in an energetic youth from the outside. Turning away from the counter, she gave the news report a moment of attention before inevitably being sucked into it like a black hole.
The report was being presented live by a man somewhere in his mid-forties dressed in a thick raincoat as light rain lashed him, stood outside the Silverlight center, a five-billion pounds sterling project funded entirely by the Avington Concern, used to host expos, theater shows and other forms of leisure.
Several black vehicles filled most of the camera’s frame. Peyton found herself slowly lowering into the couch as the main headline rolled in from the right:
BODYBUILDING CONTEST CONTROVERSY - CONTESTANT ARRESTED
Seeing the headline, Peyton unmuted the TV, the full force of the report having now grabbed her attention. A sense of unease came over her, coupled with uncertainty.
“That’s right, Harriet,” the male reporter called out loudly amongst a gust of fierce wind battering him, forcing him to double-check his footing, “Australian amateur female bodybuilding competitor, Zara Philips, has been detained following her disqualification from the contest, which came after an inexplicable outburst of growth when performing on stage. The contest was subsequently canceled.”
A female voice came through live from the news studio while the reporter adjusted his jacket, trying vainly to keep himself presentable for the live viewers across both the country and the world. “What could have caused this outburst to take place, Glen?”
“Hard to say at the moment, but from what information has been gathered since then, this ties in with the group of vehicles behind me that arrived shortly afterwards. Too soon for any outgoing call to the emergency services to arrive.” Glen turned sideways to look at the vehicles curiously, the camera panning and zooming in to get a better look at the unfamiliar crest on the front door - a love heart, in side of which resided a small cross, flanked by spread wings. “It is unclear at this time which section of the law enforcement these individuals represent. Perhaps, most likely, something new, but they were aware of this incident being likely to happen.”
Glen was cut short, looking at the cameraman behind the shot pointing outwards at Silverlight’s main entrance where several officers representing this yet unknown wing of the law enforcement came from, escorting Zara Philips. Glen rushed to meet the group head-on, desperate to know so much more of the incident that occurred behind closed doors. But he stopped dead in his tracks when he noticed Zara.
Her muscles were still twitching from a perverse want to grow, desperate for more of the pills. Her own increase in size wanting—needing to feed on itself like a virus. Zara may have complied with the nameless group’s demand in detaining her, but she never was going to be aggressive. If anything, she just wanted to ensure her victory in the contest, feeling her pecs swell outwards inches at a time just by breathing. It was orgasmic, a sensation she would’ve taken care of personally backstage had she not been caught doping. Arms hung at her front, her biceps creaked and bloated in their sickening desperation to grow, her peaks pressing against her hips, a layer of vascularity suddenly bursting into existence.
Glen caught the attention from one of the people escorting Zara, coming up to the camera to interrupt the otherwise perfectly flawless shot of the Asian’s spurt of growth. That was when Peyton recognized the red hair and light brown trench coat. It was Detective Lily Hart, coming all this way from Southpoint - again.
Lily flashed her badge on camera, though it wasn’t distinctively a police one. Rather, an exact copy of the crest found on the vehicles shown earlier. That was when the report was cut off, bringing the live feed back to the BBC offices in London.
News presenter Harriet Lane issued an awkward smile. “Sorry about that. In other news, South Korean medical firm Bright Life has come under fire for its alleged illegal use of DNA—”
Peyton’s mouth dropped open in shock. That was it? Damn it. She turned the TV off and threw the remote onto the couch, trying to figure out how to make either heads or tails of what she just saw. How was Kim so big? It couldn’t possibly have been the monkey pills because looking that large when on them would’ve yielded countless adverse effects - internal organ failure, an abnormal outbreak of vascularity, high prospect of addiction—all the same traits a particularly different redhead exhibited a couple of years prior.
Then of course, there were the bigger questions. Who was Lily working with that she had to maintain such secrecy? Sure, she was a detective, but this secretive wing she worked under definitely wasn’t public knowledge. It was all so stressful.
Opening the nearby drawer, Peyton looked at the lone pill bottle rolling back and forth. Then the smiling monkey face slowly came into view as if to tease her. Kim couldn’t have been using the monkey pills because Peyton had the last bottle in existence. When Natalie decided to go cod turkey, she dumped the remaining bottles into the chemical waste bin. But from mere happenstance Peyton found a long-lost unopened bottle in her sister’s wardrobe when spring cleaning last year. Peyton had been ploddingly taking them since then just for the thrill and curiosity. If one of the pills in the palm of her hand, she remembered her vow: when the bottle was empty, she swore that would be the end of it.
Should she, shouldn’t she?
A smell filled the air, causing Peyton’s current train of thought to grind to a halt. The smell was familiar, not unlike something…burning,
“Oh shit! The chicken!”

Depression: that was the sole feeling to have swirled within Reagan’s mind for months, like flesh slowly ebbing away, decaying. Stood by the hospital window, she gazed out at the street below, longing to live the life of a free woman, but that wasn’t to happen anytime soon. Even so, there wasn’t much Reagan could do. Her life had changed so much in the past two years since her admission and the doctors’ worked to rehabilitate her. Dale had left and her parents ended up disowning her for the freak she ended up transforming into. Though it wasn’t her fault. Not exactly anyway.
The doctors worked their hardest to restore Reagan to her former self, though they weren’t totally successful. The eighty-hundred-and-fifty kilo mass monster they were originally tasked with saving, pleaded mostly by Natalie, now stood by the window at ninety kilos, most of which was made up of the musculature the doctors couldn’t subdue through being so solid owing to having gone full-bottle. And that wasn’t even the worst of it.
Sighing, Reagan glared at the metal brace bolted onto her mangled left leg, designed purposefully to support and evenly distribute her weight. Her right leg contrasted the other; strong and muscular, layered with soft veins. The irony though was Reagan had become sickened by the strength certain aspects of her body possessed, retained from unforeseen effects brought on not just by going full-bottle but the rehabilitation procedure that came afterwards. She could walk, but no further than to the window she next to, only a few short steps away. The doctors, in turn, placed a small table and some chairs next to the window for visitors.
Her right arm throbbed, as if to attract Reagan’s attention. She hated it when that happened. It was her body’s way of saying ‘I’m still here, you’ll never get away from me. I am you!’ It drove Reagan mad at times, made her realize Karma had finally decided to dole out its dues.
Upon her admission to the hospital, the doctors eventually realized the adverse effects of Reagan going full-bottle weren’t just physical, but equally daunting cognitively and psychologically. When her body shut down from the abhorrent use of the monkey pills, it wasn’t long before Reagan was being force-fed through a tube and on twenty-four-seven care for months, the shutdown a counteraction from the pills on the doctors’ attempt to heal her.
In the months that followed her physical health returning to normalcy, Reagan experienced further problems, namely memory. She lost all semblance of knowledge or recognition from before she suffered her shutdown, failing to remember faces, names or even how to talk, spending most of her time staring blankly at the window like she was now. The memory loss was, thankfully, only temporary, but lasted long enough for certain problems to arise, particularly the relationships she had with Dale and her parents.
It took Reagan merely weeks to obtain the physique needed to enact her desired revenge on Natalie, but years to revert to normal. She was riddled with guilt gnawing on her bones and half muscular flesh. The irony of it all—
“You ready, Reagan?”
Jerking back into reality, pulling herself away from the mist of guilt, Reagan remembered. The detectives were going to question her today. A poly-something test, she vaguely remembered it being called. She agreed to it once her memory started coming back. She just hoped enough of it was back to help them. Something about an ongoing investigation involving the pills? Right?
“Yeah, I’m ready.” Reagan turned to the nurse feigning a smile. Her voice was still slightly masculine. In fact, that was permanent, something the doctor’s couldn’t do to help unless it involved clipping her vocal cords, which they wouldn’t do without Reagan;’s expressed consent. Reagan wasn’t particularly up to that. Her body had gone through so much of a change already…it was maybe best to wait.
The leg brace clicking, she hobbled over to the nurse, then stopped. She had already been offered a wheelchair, but refused, insisted she was well enough to walk. She’d have to do it eventually, anyway, otherwise prolonging the inevitable.

“I’m done.”
“What? Already?”
“We’ve been—”
Muffled moans and screams of pleasure. The rhythmical shaking of the bed frame. Calling out in lust as suppressed voices came from behind the locked door, which a large, burly and hairless brute of a man named Owen stood abreast of, gulping nervously as he overheard the wanton intercourse from the wall behind him. He’d never known Priscilla to have such sexual energy, though supposed it to be pent up and compensating for her comparatively mousy stature. She wasn’t small—not exactly anyway—just looked like that compared to Owen.
But, I’m not done,” came the voice from behind the door.
A groan followed by a dull thud and metallic clatter.
Literally hot under the collar, he tugged at the neckband of his shirt and exhaled. It felt like if he held his breath in long enough, something would happen, the inhales syncing up with the thrusts, exhales going hand in hand with the bed frame’s wooden groans.
Then, from the corner of his eye, Owen saw Dayna appear seemingly out of nowhere. Though the truth was he was too mesmerized by Priscilla’s passion to know the bespectacled assistant had been standing there for the last few seconds, sizing the large yet quiet giant up from head to toe.
“Lost in thought, are we?” Dayna’s voice always melted Owen’s heart; layered thickly with eroticism, applied deliberately when talking specifically to him. Because she knew he liked her. It was Dayna’s job to keep track of things, particularly when they concerned Priscilla. Owen simply grumbled in response, the sex behind him amplifying. “How’s she doing?”
“She’s been at it for four hours straight. Around five men are in there with her.”
Owen was surprised he managed to retain a sense of professionalism after divulging such a thing to Dayna, who he presumed to find such things either distasteful or lacking in morals, judging by her conservative dress; a black blazer suit and trousers, white shirt and a tie, almost identical to Owen’s attire. But Dayna was younger than Owen, he in his mid-forties, she only just reached her twenties. That made her even younger than Priscilla.
Dayna looked down at Owen’s crotch and smirked at the first obvious indication of an erection, then looked up at him with shrewdly. “Well, if you’re a good little guard, I’m sure she’d be perfectly willing to make it six men—next time.”
Priscilla swayed her hips in sync with her thrusts, releasing impassioned moans in the attempt to instill vigour in the man below her struggling to keep himself awake. His energy had been spent long before now, yet determined in some way or another to ensure she was satisfied. Her breasts bouncing up and down gently with each jolt, slapping into one another, she bit her lip in eagerness, staring into his eyes.
The door clicked open revealing Dayna, who casually walked past and over the sexually exhausted men strewn across the floor, some of which were bigger and longer than others, but it was clear they just didn’t do the job they were paid to. No-one seemed to fit the bill. One of the men paid to service Priscilla laid droopy over the bed, groaning in a manner that seemed to indicate pain.
“Enjoying yourself?” Dayna stopped just a few inches from Priscilla, examining her naked back, which, unlike the impressively-built man below her fondling her perfect tits, was glistened with sweat. Curious at first glance, considering they’d been at it for hours.
“No.” Priscilla stopped, looking at her gigalo in disgust. He seemed to be enjoying himself, what with the wide toothy grin plastered across his face, but it wasn’t about him. It was about her. “Four hours and five dicks later, I still haven’t orgasmed. Not once. Are you sure they’re working as they should? Are they long enough?”
“I can assure you these men are of the highest quality.”
Priscilla scoffed, sliding free from the dazzled man who just couldn’t keep his eyes off her. “Whatever you say, Dayna.” Between her smooth and tight bubble butt, hourglass figure and gravity-defying breasts, she was, in a word, perfect. A goddess, even. But Priscilla felt different on that matter. Never in her life had she reached climax during sex. It drove her mad at times to think she was different from other women, different from her friends who could do it anytime they wanted. She was annoyed, and it showed.
“Why are you here?”
Dayna reached into the inside pocket of her blazer and pulled out a syringe with a vial attached to its bottom. She and Priscilla looked at each other knowingly. Time for another check-up.
Priscilla nodded, then poked her male friend in the elbow. “You. Leave. Take your friends with you.”
“Will I see you again?” It was clear this man—whoever he was—had become starstruck by the beauty Priscilla naturally expressed. Not that it mattered. “I think I’m in love.”
“No. You’re useless to me. So you won’t be back. You…” Priscilla offered a perfunctory glance to the other men strewn across the floor and bed. “…or your friends.”
He turned to Dayna as if expecting her to reprimand Priscilla for her cold-hearted yet honest response, but the truth was Dayna didn’t feel any different on the matter. She was utterly devoted to her employer, offering an equally affronting glance that had the gigolo quickly on his feet gathering his clothes and waking his friends from their slumber.
Priscilla held out her arm, squeezing her fist a few times to get blood flowing and the veins in her arm to rise to the surface of her skin. She never questioned why samples of her blood were taken on a regular basis, having them done so ever since she could remember. It was part of her life.
“How’s Daddy?”
“Busy. What with all the Bright Life shenanigans going on. He expects having to work with them through their court case. In the meantime, he wants you to work on your relations with other people.”
“You mean, he wants me out the way.”
“Priscilla—”
The blonde groaned, slipping back into her pair of snow-white frills and ankle socks, then searched frantically for her bra. “What did he have in mind, exactly?”
Dayna didn’t immediately offer a response. Instead, she marveled at Priscilla’s tight glutes as she bent down to pick up her bra from the floor. “Oh, um…nothing in particular. Although, I offered a suggestion.”
Priscilla turned as the elastic of bra snapped into place across her shoulder, her interest piqued. “I’m listening.”
“Peyton.”
Priscilla burst into laughter. She was expected to form a friendly relationship with the fucking hairdresser? Surely Dayna wasn’t serious? Of course, when she saw the expression painted across her face—
“Oh my god, you’re serious. Why would I ever want to be friends with her?”
“Because she has friends.” Dayna kept up with her keen observations while placing the vial of blood and used syringe into her blazer’s inside pocket. “Something you, admittedly, have a severe lack in. You might learn something from her.”
Priscilla’s eyes narrowed. She didn’t like it when people called her out on her shortage of friends, especially when such comments came from someone she otherwise wholeheartedly trusted. “Careful, Dayna. Or you will find yourself with the severe lack of a job. Maybe then you’ll learn something about where you stand.”
“I didn’t mean to—”
Priscilla’s deathly glare strengthened. That alone spoke for her. Dayna stopped before speaking herself into a corner.
“Fine. I suppose it can’t hurt to see just how interesting Peyton actually can be,” Priscilla commented, tying her hair into pigtails. “Not that she will be, or anything.”
