Darkness, that's all Todd could see, pure untainted darkness. He wasn't sure what had happened, or how he had gotten here, wherever here was, it was dark and claustrophobic. He tried to move but when he did he felt his whole surrounding shake. Where the hell was he? where was Gretta?
Panic gripping his heart, Todd began to thrash around in the dark and felt the world around him shake until finally, his left foot broke through what felt like the floor and a light shone through. Frantically he continued to break free from his prison until he was able to punch a hole big enough for him to see through. The light! It was blinding!!!
"Well done, you're nearly there!" Gretta? Was that you? Eagerly, he thrashed about harder until he was free from his prison and fell face first on to a soft cushioned surface. Suddenly, a sharp pain entered his lungs and his let out an all mighty painful cry. "It's okay, it's okay I'm here!" He heard a reassuring voice. Gretta?
A pair of hands grabbed hold of him and lifted him off of the ground and into to scaly arms of a giant. "Shhhhh, everything's going to be alright." He heard Gretta say. Wait, was she the one holding him??? Adjusting to the light, Todd slowly opened his eyes and looked up into the smiling face of Gretta, except she looked bigger than before - much, much bigger. "Gretta, what's going on? Where are we? How did you get so huge? What have you done?" He asked her frantically but all Gretta did was shush him again,
"Todd, I understand you're upset but you have to understand that I don't understand what you're saying." She told him sympathetically. The young man tilted his head in confusion, "here, let me show you." And the crocodile woman began to walked over to a mirror. "See." She said to him and Todd looked. What he saw terrified him.
Staring back at them in the mirror was a gigantic crocodile woman with bulging muscles that put a professional bodybuilder to shame and huge breasts. Gretta's body was lidled in scars almost as though she had seen a lot of fighting and she was dressed in what appeared to be some ancient female warrior outfit he had half expected to see the ancient Egyptians or African tribes to wear. But that's not what frightened him, he actually expected Gretta to wear something like that - no what terrified him was his own reflection. Starting back at him, nestled safely in his friend's big strong arms was a new born anthro crocodile baby boy.
"I love you Todd," Gretta said to him, couping his cheek in her spare hand gently. "Your mummy loves you very much."
