Trrr, trrrrr , A bell rang in a house filled with laughter.
"COMIIINNNGGG!"
"Oh, hi there! Why would a beautiful lady such as yourself, be coming to an even more beautiful and sexier lady's house on this beautiful late evening?" A taunting, aggressive woman's voice called out.
"Nothing—just wanted to check on a broken, poor, unemployed woman on her last leg," Mother Veny replied, matching her energy perfectly.
"Technically, you're also jobless, Miss Beautiful Lady," an irritated voice sounded.
"Mooo, don't start as soon as you see each other! Come on in, Mother Veny. And Gloomy, why are you here again? Still wearing that dress of mine? I guess you still have some decency left, huh?" Sio came in middle, putting some distance between the two mothers.
Agghh. Gloomy shuddered, thinking about what would have happened if he had changed.
"Fine, fine, I'll make myself at home." Mother Veny pushed Sio's mother aside and walked right in. "Hmm, quite clean, I must say. Your holiday hasn't been a waste, haha. Sorry to disturb your precious holiday, but we have work to do." Mother Veny smiled as she turned around, hands on her hips, bags dangling from her arms.
She explained the situation clearly.
"Hmmm, it's a good idea. I do know designing and all that, so I could help. Count me in." Mother Ariana said with a confident smile.
"Hmm, good! That's what I wanted to hear. But before that, we have somewhere to be—another party is going to join us, right, Gloomy?" Both mothers smiled evilly.
Agh, my stomach hurts for some reason. Gloomy felt the pressure mounting.
"Ahm, now, now, you kids go to Emmy's house. We have some business with your mother, so I don't want you there. I know your place, so I'll take Veny with me. You take Sio and go there." Mother Ariana ordered.
They both nodded and left quickly, not wanting to stay with two giant demons sucking their energy dry.
Sigh. "Why do I feel my energy is getting drained a lot more nowadays?" Gloomy sighed while walking casually, phasing in and out of his gaseous form as he passed through objects like poles and trash bins, not bothering to walk like a normal person.
"Hmm, Gloomy, can't you walk properly? I'm having a hard time catching up to you," Sio said, trying to focus on the route Gloomy was taking.
Gloomy looked back and saw a fidgeting Sio in her high-waisted, belted half-pants reaching above her knees, with a tucked-in, tight brown sweater—full sleeves with cute designs on it.
"Hmm, it's so tiring to dodge these things. Just keep following me—don't worry, you won't get lost." Gloomy turned around and started walking.
"MOOOOO, Gloommmyyy!" Sio took large strides and came beside him, hugging his arm. "Now don't start phasing—I can't keep up with you," she said while glancing around nervously.
"Hmm, like this, we're for sure looking like brother and sister," Gloomy smirked.
"Hmmm, aren't we already? And we're looking like sister and sister," she pointed at his outfit, smirking.
"Ugghhhh!" Gloomy suddenly pulled her into a dark alleyway.
"Hey, hey, where are you taking me? This doesn't look good!" Sio startled at the sight of the dark alley.
"Don't worry, this is a shortcut I always take. It's fast and easy to phase out." Gloomy patted his chest confidently.
"But I'm with you now, Gloomy?" Sio spoke in a low, scared voice.
"Ah! I didn't think of it that way. Don't worry—just keep walking. Don't disturb whatever people are doing, and we'll be fine," Gloomy said, trying to relax her.
.
"Hey, hey, walk slowly," Mother Veny said while hiding behind Mother Ariana, fixing her off-shoulder top a bit.
Seeing this, Mother Ariana smiled who was wearing a crisp white blouse with a high collar, its sleeves gathered neatly at the wrists. Over it, a dark red leather corset fastened with metal buckles shaped her waist and touched just below her chest, giving her an air of both discipline and beauty. Black fitted trousers with matching leather straps and thigh guards completed Mother Ariana's look and a white gloves to hide her blackness of her fingers.
Mother Ariana turned around and came close to Mother Veny, smirking. "What's this? Someone is scared? Want to go back to your little cave? You should show your curves a bit more, Veny." She pulled Mother Veny's off-shoulder dress down slightly, exposing more of her cleavage.
"Huuhh, what are you doing, Ariana?! Leave my dress!" Veny shocked dropped her bags and tried to release Ariana's grip while using her other free hand to cover her cleavage, which only drew more attention to her upper chest.
"Oh my, your panicking face is so cute!" Ariana pulled the dress down even more, revealing thirty percent of her breasts.
Just as she was about to tease her further, a hand suddenly came from behind and rested on Mother Ariana shoulder like a buddy. "Hey, hey, ladies! What are you doing here? Enjoying your own time alone? Why not join us and have some fun with real men?" A man with foul breath came close to Ariana, touching her chin while staring at Veny's exposed breasts.
Veny panicked, swiftly covering her embarrassing state. She picked up her bags and moved closer to Ariana as other men surrounded them.
Seeing this, Ariana's expression didn't change. She casually touched his arm and made it fall from her shoulder, then pulled Veny into her arms until both their chests touched. She looked seductively at Veny, then at the men surrounding them. Touching Veny's backside, she smiled. "You see, these ladies love each other's company, so we don't appreciate any men with us. Sorry, handsome men. I'll give you my blessing that you'll find a cute lady for your handsome bodies." She winked as she gracefully led them away, holding Veny by the waist.
The men stood dumbfounded. "Tsk, another weird woman. Let's go!" They walked away.
"And that's how you walk here with confidence, Miss Veny," Ariana smiled arrogantly, making fun of Mother Veny.
"Geezz, don't use me for your example! You could have just told me! Tsk, embarrassing me in front of other men." Mother Veny fixed her top and glared at Mother Ariana, stepping out of her embrace.
"Now, now, don't be mad. Your husband will be happy knowing his wife learned new skills today." Ariana casually put her hand behind her head and walked cheerfully.
"Huh, that man is probably enjoying his time with Julia now, not thinking about me!" Mother Veny pouted in anger as she muttered and followed Mother Ariana.
.
Achoo!
"I think someone is thinking about me," Esjar said while coming home with Julia.
"Huh, are you sure? Feels like we're being left out a lot from the others, so I don't think anyone is thinking about us!" Julia sighed as she opened the door.
"Hellooo, we're back!" she shouted, but no reply came. She turned around and looked at Esjar. "See? Clearly everyone just forgot about us."
Sighhhh. "I guess we have to eat out today. Let's freshen up and go—they'll come back soon enough." Esjar walked ahead.
Seeing his broad back, Julia licked her lips. With a dash, she came closer and turned him around. "Hey there, husband, why don't we have something delicious here only?" She raised her hand and undressed her shoulder armor plate, leaving her cloth-strapped bra in plain sight.
Seeing this, Esjar's pupils sharpened. His face flushed with embarrassment. "Hmm, anyone can come back. Can we not do it?"
"Hmmm." With her strength, she pulled Esjar inside the room and pushed him toward the bed, making him sit.
She came forward, pulling her hair loose. Her long hair reached her breasts as she stood in front of his sitting face and looked at Esjar. He saw her abs shimmering with sweat in front of his face and couldn't control himself. He pulled her close and started kissing her abs, licking the sweat.
Mmmmmhhhh..She moaned in pleasure as Esjar slowly undressed her pants, leaving her only in her panties. He grabbed her waist and threw her onto the bed, then slowly removed everything from her, leaving her fully naked. He went down and started tasting her private parts.
"Ummmm, yeessss!" Julia felt waves of pleasure as she rubbed her own breasts. "Yeeesss, husband, keep aahhhh lickiingg ittt! Ummm, thereer! Veny sure aahh aahhh missed a treattt!" She kept moaning, hoping the night could go long.
.
"Hmmm, suddenly I feel so irritated. Tsskkk." Mother Veny walked behind Mother Ariana with an irritated expression as Mother Ariana was now carrying her bags as punishment.
Sigghhh. "What's with these bags? They feel like they've been around forever—like they've seen so many things, more than I've ever seen." Mother Ariana slumped under the weight, glaring at Mother Veny.
"Heheh, don't you know they're the main characters of our story?" Mother Veny joked as she skipped ahead.
"Hhhaaaa, what main characters? They're the worst! Wait, not there—that wayyyy!" Mother Ariana and Mother Veny slowly reached Gloomy's house.
Seeing the place, they both sighed.
"Let's go teach some manners to that mother." Veny clenched her fists as she approached the door.
Suddenly, the door opened, and three men appeared in front of her—muscular, gritty men.
Ugghh, I forgot. Veny smiled awkwardly as she saw Ariana smirking from behind her. She pouted in anger as she heard:
"Oh, we have some beautiful ladies out here! Why not join us? Three for three?" They smirked, checking out her outfit and Ariana's.
She calmed down and thinking back she said, "Hello there, gentlemen. I would have loved to do that, but you see..." Veny pulled Ariana from behind and hugged her from the back, bringing her forward. She gracefully licked her fingers and touched Ariana's private area from above her leather pants, pressing her fingers against the surface, as Ariana subconsciously spread her legs slightly. "Hmm, you see, she and I are quite wet—ready to, you know, have some fun. But we want a ladies' night. Why don't you handsome young men take a break, grab some booze, and relax a bit while these ladies have a fun night?" She slid her fingers in and out in a teasing motion as Ariana smiled in embarrassment, her face red.
"Hahaha, sure, sure! You go ahead. We're all the same—wanting to enjoy some time. Go ahead, we won't disturb you." The men just gave them way smiling in disappointment.
Veny smiled, pushed Ariana forward, as she released her from the hug, and let her go inside. Veny fixed her hair in slow motion and winked at the men, gracefully walking by and patting their arms. "Byee, boysss!" She went inside and closed the door.
Siighh. "What beautiful women. Such a shame. Let's go drink some booze," one man said as they left.
"Ugghhh, disgusting!" Mother Veny jumped around, trying to shake off the feeling.
"Hahahha, good job, Veny!" Ariana laughed. They looked at each other and laughed together as they went inside.
"Ugghh, this smell." They walked slowly, avoiding some fluids on the ground, and came to a single room where they saw Gloomy's mother covering herself with a bedsheet.
"Hmmm, I don't serve women. Sorry, you have to go back," Gloomy's mother said with no expression.
"Hmmm, we're here for your service, but not for that. We're Gloomy's mothers, and we're here to take you out into the world of the living," Mother Ariana said in a loud voice.
"Hmmm, who is Gloomy? Are you here because my son has done something wrong to your children?" Gloomy's mother asked confusedly and trying to guess their intensions.
Ugghhh! Sorry, Gloomy, both mothers apologized in their heads.
"Ahhmm, I mean Theo! We're Theo's friends' mothers, and we came to talk to you about something!" Mother Ariana said, pointing at her.
Sudden realization dawned as Gloomy's mother subconsciously held her sheets tighter. "Ahh, so you're his friends' mothers. Welcome. But I don't have anything that could interest you. Why are you here? Are you here to ask for money for Theo's outfit? Sorry, but I don't have money for that. You can take back your outfit from him." Gloomy's mother backed away slightly, holding her sheets tightly.
Ugghhh, my head hurts. Mother Veny suddenly got very angry
"Hey, bitch, stop being so dramatic, will you? I'm here to beat the shit out of you for doing such nasty things to your kid! Beating him day and night while you let other men play with you!"
SLAAPPPPP!
Mother Veny came toward her, grabbed her sheet, and slapped her hard across the face.
SLAAPPPP! SLAAAPPP! SLLAAAPPPP!
"HOW DARE YOU BEAT MY KIDDSS!"
SLAAPPP! SLAAAPPP!
"You bitch, taking out your anger on little Gloomy! Did you feel an achievement or what?!"
SLAAPPPP!
Mother Veny, with a furious expression, slapped her face left and right. Gloomy's mother just endured it, not doing anything.
"Hey, hey, stop, stop! Don't beat her too much—she's still Gloomy's mother. He won't like that." Mother Ariana stopped Mother Veny's outrage.
Hearing this, Mother Veny stopped, not wanting to hurt her children. She stopped, tears welling in her eyes, and said to Gloomy's mother—who had fallen from her sitting position onto her face:
"YOUUU BIITTCHH, IFF YOUUU DARRE TO TOUCHH HIMM AGAIIINN, I WILL KILL YOUUU WITH MY OWN HANDS!!!"
Mother Veny roared.
"Ugh, THEN KILL ME!" a voice came from tired Gloomy mother.
"Huh? What?" Both mothers were surprised.
Gloomy's mother said again, "THEN KILL ME! I DON'T WANT TO LIVE LIKE THIS! JUST KILL MEEEE AND TAKE THEO AWAY!"
Gloomy's mother got up and kneeled. Her sheet fell away, revealing her bruised, naked body—covered in bruises, some burning marks, some choking marks. Her body was a mess. She kneeled and put her head down, saying loudly:
"PLEASE TAKE THEO AWAY FROM HERE! HE CAN'T LIVE A NORMAL LIFE LIVING HERE! PLEASE, I'LL GIVE YOU ALL THE MONEY I HAVE! GO, TAKE HIM AWAY! IF HE STAYS HERE, I'LL BEAT HIM AGAIN AND AGAIN! GO, TAKE HIM AWAYYY!"
Gloomy's mother said this with a sobbing voice to the two stunned ladies.
Seeing her bruised state, both of them calmed down. They came toward her, kneeled beside her, and raised her head. Both mothers saw a weeping, child-like face with blue hair and a messy haircut—two long strands of hair reaching her shoulders with short bangs on her forehead. Some tattoos marked her face. She looked fragile, but both mothers smiled.
Ariana said, "Oh my, such a lovely lady crying in such a mess."
Mother Veny continued, "Yes, truly a beautiful woman, just like us."
They cleaned her face with the sheets and said, "It's not that we didn't want to take him—it's just that he doesn't want us to. His true mother is alive and healthy. He was so happy today that we would meet you. He wants, from the bottom of his heart, for his mother to live like other mothers out there. We won't ask you how you came here or why you're still here, but we will ask you: Do you want to go outside with us and see the world?"
Gloomy's mother looked at the two ladies. Slowly, a hint of light entered her eyes, but it faded soon. Before she could shake her head, Ariana grabbed it and said:
"Don't look away! Can't you see what everyone wants from you? We're here for you, giving you a hand. You just have to grab it and walk with us. Then everything—happiness, sadness, anger, everything—we'll share it. Can't you just stand and walk with us and JUST TRY FOR ONCE?"
Gloomy's mother was now fully awakened. Tears streamed down her eyes as she nodded heavily, not speaking any words.
"Mmhhh, mhhh, I WILL WALK! Sobb, soobbb. PLEASE HELP ME WALK! Waahhhh, III AMMM SOORRRYYY, THEEEOOOOO! YOUR MOTHER COULDN'T DO ANYTHING FOR YOU! I AM SORRRYYYY! I AMMM SORRRYYY! PLLLEEASEEE LETT ME WALLKKKK! PLLLEEASEEE, I... I... UGGHH, I WANNT TO GET OUT OF HERE!"
Gloomy's mother started bawling her eyes out. Both ladies, seeing this, hugged her naked body, not bothering with her condition—just hugging her tightly as she cried like a child.
After minutes of crying, she calmed down.
CLLAAPPP!
Mother Veny clapped and said, "Now it's time for you to take a bath and wear my cute outfits that have been waiting for who knows how long! Come on, get up, get up!"
Both ladies helped her wash and told her their plan.
.
After a while..
"Ummm, I don't think this suits me," Gloomy's mother said, checking herself out.
She now looked beautiful and cute. Her face had received a full cleanup—all the weird markings removed, her hair cut properly, makeup applied. Finally, the bags' role was over, and many outfits were now scattered around her clean house, both mothers have done their best during this hour.
Gloomy's mother wore a simple, clean outfit matching her son's cute style—a clean white colored, one-shoulder off top which is tucked in a high-waisted blue jeans and white shoes on her legs. Her smooth-looking one side bare shoulder emerged from her top, showing some of her breast's roundness. A cute, simple locket and well-trimmed hair made her seem simply beautiful.
"Heheh, look, look! My masterpiece! Now Gloomy and you both look like mother and daughter! Kyyyaaa, look at her—so cute!" Mother Ariana kept slapping Mother Veny, who was sitting beside her, mesmerized by the before-and-after transformation.
"You little wench, stop hitting me!" Mother Veny roared.
Gloomy's mother fidgeted, trying to pull her outfit to cover more of herself, but couldn't do it, in return her breast corner roundness became more visible in her shoulder cut top. She looked for her beanie hat, which was lying in a corner. She walked over and was about to pick it up when Ariana came and grabbed her hand, pulled her up, and pushed Gloomy's mother's back against the wall. She came close, holding her hand up.
"Hey there, beautiful lady, don't you dare put anything weird on my cute outfit. If you do, then..." Ariana brought her other hand forward and touched her naked shoulder, grazing the roundness emerging from her breast. "I WILL COME HERE DAILY AND PLAY WITH YOU, MISS SILJA MACCCC!"
"Uwwwahhhh!" Gloomy's mother panicked, trying to hide her face but couldn't.
"Oh my, I like your reaction!" Ariana came forward, letting her breasts touch hers, and held her head straight. "I LIKE YOU A LOT, SILJA! WHY NOTTT..."
GUUUAAAAA, OOUCCHHHH!
A leg came flying from the side, hitting her abdomen and sending her sideways.
"Oh my, my leg slipped! SAARRRYYY!" Mother Veny glared at Mother Ariana and looked at Gloomy's mother. "Hey, don't think too much. I'm letting you meet the others, so you don't want to look bad for him, right?"
Gloomy's mother nodded.
"Hmm, then it's good. Become a good mother from now on. It's never too late to get better—we're still young and can make up for our mistakes. So, treat Theo with all your heart, okay?"
"Hmm, I will," Theo's mother nodded, light returning to her eyes.
"Now let's go! We have some money to make—this poor lady is dying from poorness! Lettss goo!" Ariana roared as she got up.
The other mothers laughed, seeing this. Gloomy's mother looked at Mother Veny and asked, "By the way, where are your kids?"
"Hmmm, Gloomy and Sio already left, so they should reach soon. Others are roaming around here and there, and I hope they reach soon so I can kill them! Kekekek!" Mother Veny's evil laugh made Gloomy's mother step back a little.
"Now, now, don't scare her." Ariana came and held both their hands, stepping between them. "LETS GOO, MY BEAUTIFUL LADIEESSS!"

END OF CHAPTER
There are bruises the world can see, and there are chains no one knows exist until someone dares to break them. Silja wore hers in silence, convinced that suffering was her inheritance, that hurting the ones she loved was inevitable. But sometimes salvation doesn't come from within—it comes from two fierce women who refuse to let another soul drown in the same darkness they've survived.
Every transformation begins with a single choice: to take the hand extended toward you, even when you believe you don't deserve to be saved. Some people spend their whole lives learning that lesson alone, while others are blessed with someone who won't let them give up.
