Zoe was munching down the food without a care in the world while grace looked at her concerned, she thought they had this figured out, but her transformation and Zoe's ha such different results. She was still herself completely but Zoe didn't mind being not human anymore, although she at least wasn't trying to force Jeff and Lucy to follow her. Maybe it was the sex? She was feeling a lot of pleasure when she turned, while Grace was also scared and well, not fucking her brother, something she was regretful about and it made her a bit sick.
Meanwhile Jeff tried to convince Lucy to leave the bathroom to eat, but she refused to even respond. She was scared and confused, and Jeff understood she needed some alone time, but she was in the only available bathroom.
Jeff Come on Lucy, open the door.
Lucy Leave me alone!
Jeff Lu, I love you but we need this door opened now.
Lucy Go away!
Jeff - *Sigh*
Zoe Hey Jeff, leave her alone. She will come around eventually, meanwhile I wanted to get mom some food.
Whitney I'm hungry in here!
Grace But we can't open the door!
Zoe Why not there is two of us and one of her, there is no way she can overpower the both of us.
Grace Still
Zoe We can't let her starve to death can we?
Jeff didn't care anymore. Most of his family was not human anymore, maybe this was the end of their humanity after all, but if Megan and Jenny thought they would get what they wanted they were sorely mistaken. But he wasn't giving up now, if there was hope he would fight, but whatever shape that hope took it didn't matter anymore. Maybe he had been affected like Zoe...
Jeff Open the door, but mom, we are locking you again if you try anything funny.
Both Zoe and Grace were ready to immobilize her if she did anything stupid, but she was surprisingly calm as she left the closet.
Whitney See, I'm cooperating kids. I'm not going to rape you guys so calm down.
Grace Yeah, we don't trust your judgment right now mom, you have been bat-shit crazy for the last few hours.
Whitney I'm still your mother Grace, don't speak to me like that.
Grace S-sorry
Whitney But wow, aren't you two gorgeous, after I'm done eating why don't we cuddle, all five of us?
Jeff Come on mom
Whitney Just a suggestion, and by the way
Whitney slid to the door calmly, grabbed the doorknob and opened the door to the bathroom.
Whitney The lock is broken.
While Whitney ate Jeff went to comfort Lucy who was acting much like Grace the previous day.
Lucy Why would you do that? Why?
Jeff I'm sorry Lucy, we couldn't stop ourselves. We will be more careful from now on okay.
Lucy What is the point...we are doomed.
Jeff Maybe...but if we have to be monsters, we will be the one's we decide not the ones those two want us to be. I'll find that gun, and end this. But now I want you to eat something okay?
Lucy Okay
Whitney at least for now was being a cooperative prisoner/mom, but Grace and Zoe kept at least one eye on her at all times.
Jeff Mom, answer me this. If you had to choose between this hive Megan and Jenny want, and us, what would you choose?
Whitney Jeff, why would you make me choose that?
Jeff- Well, I have a reason but answer me before I tell you it.
Whitney I...I would choose you all of course.
Jeff Good, where is dad's gun?
The woman realized what his plan was, and she felt torn. She didn't want them dead, but if she did something to try to stop them, she would be locked again. She loved her children but her instincts to protect her hive were pretty strong too. In the end she meant what she said, she was a mother first, but her heart was heavy like it had never been before.
Whitney I can't help you there Jeff. If it was either you or them I would chose you, but it either their lives or all of us being a happy hive together.
Jeff Damn it mom
Whitney You are not a killer, I know you wont hurt them, besides the office is locked and...FUCK!
Jeff Thanks mom! I'll be back soon guys. And mom, behave yourself.
Whitney shriveled in the corner, regretting her words.
