Jen stared at the 3 unmoving Stacys standing near her. She hoped that Stacy would be alright, or at the least alive. Stacy was her friend, and she didn't want to be responsible for the death of a friend. Especially not if that death was by absorbing her body.
The rest of the cheer squad stood about 20 feet behind the Stacys, both curious and terrified of what they were watching. Amanda stood the closest, but even she looked terrified.
Jen looked away from her friends and back down at her changed body. She still couldn't move anything. It didn't make sense to her, this was supposed to be her body now.
A scream brought Jen's attention back to the cheer squad. Beth was pointing at one of the unmoving Stacys. Jen looked over and gasped as she saw that Stacy's head had deformed and was rapidly growing to be the same size as Jen's upper torso.
Oh no... Please no...
The remaining 2 Stacys began to shift the same way. Jen closed her eyes and mentally begged that it would stop. Another round of gasps tempted Jen to open her eyes, but she didn't want to see what was out there. She had a good idea of what was happening, and she didn't want to confirm her fears.
The sensation of weight being supported by her legs and feet roused Jen to tentatively open her eyes. She shrieked upon discovering that her vision had been quadrupled, along with the number of physical locations she was in. Her quadruple shriek echoed and she heard it 4 times. All 4 of her minds cried out in terror, anger, and regret. Through her 4 sets of eyes, she saw herself sitting up on the floor, and 3 more of her standing off to the side.
Stacy was completely gone - 3 more upper torsos and heads had grown out of the top of the 3 unmoving Stacys. Jen had fully absorbed Stacy, becoming a single girl in 4 bodies, just like Stacy had been. Unlike Stacy, each body had 2 torsos, 1 stacked on top of the other. Her increased height made her vision seem even more alien. Her 4 minds started thinking in synchronicity, but quickly diverged and in seconds she was thinking 4 different thoughts at the same time.
As the merge finished, Jen's minds were swarmed with memories from Stacy's life. Both her original life, and her reality-shifted life growing up with 4 bodies. The memories morphed and twisted as reality shifted again, creating a new set of memories for Jen - One from a reality where she had been born as stacked quadruplets with a permanent mental link.
One memory from the previous version of reality quickly bubbled to the forefront of Jen's minds: It was early this morning when Kyle had called Stacy. When he had cursed her, he had spent a long time on the phone, setting up an elaborate curse, one that he wiped her memory of until she had merged with Jen. Jen remembered what he said like she had been the one on the phone:
"If Jen manages to make it to school without merging with someone, and doesn't merge with anyone after a short time, say 10 minutes, you will chase her down and touch her. When she merges with you, this will replace her curse - All of your bodies will become part of Jen, and reality will shift so that you never existed and Jen was always that way, and everyone else will forget about today's curse changes. When Jen has sex with someone with a normal body, she will cause them to shift into a new form. When Jen has sex with someone with an abnormal or cursed body, she will merge with them in the same way she will merge with you. There will be no limit on the number of times that can happen."
"BUT she has to always have at least 4 of her base body - how she is just after you and she merge. If she merges with someone, one of her base bodies will perform mitosis to replace the missing base body. And everyone except for Jen will think that's just normal, and no-one will remember the people she absorbs. And just for kicks, the entire cheerleading squad will think Jen merged with you is extra sexy and will want to have sex with her. If she thinks she's so good, let's see how good she is when she has 10 bodies and is literally the entire cheer squad! Remember Stacy, I promised you would either be mine, or you would be gone and I wouldn't have to suffer remembering your rejection. That's how love works! Now when I hang up the phone, you will forget everything I said about Jen... But if it happens, she'll remember, cause I want her to know just how messed up her life is going to be after she ruined mine."
My god, what a manipulative little bastard.
He planned this all out
He ruined my life
He killed Stacy!
I'm going to make him pay
I'll find a way
Once the rush of memories and emotion past, Jen realized she could move her bodies. She stood up her sitting body and silently marveled at how natural it felt to move. While she got up, her other 3 selves turned around and looked at the cheer squad. In a stark contrast to what had happened earlier and just now, they seemed to be in fine moods. A few of them were even checking out Jen's naked cleavage and exposed genitalia.
Amanda stepped forward and grabbed one of Jen's lower arms and hugged her close. "So sweetie, what was the reason for today's meeting? Why'd we have to be here so early?"
