Now Petunia didn't know her father was coming 5 days earlier.
So that night she was out with her coven of Dark Magic friends,and they'd been
chanting evil and arcane spells somewhere in Deathshead Swamp,trying to summon a
monster.
That was a part of her life that she'd never told Rick about
in his earlier visits,that she,a young teen witch of the Dark Forces,could
due some pretty nifty things that the chemist never dreamed possible.
She and the rest of the coven would choose some unsuspecting human host,
and raise a nasty spirit from the cauldron they kept hidden in the swamp and fuse the two
together to create a monster.
They'd started cautious ,setting the time the daemon could possess their
test subject for no more then a minute.
After a year of this,they'd now set their magics to alter the human host
into a monster for up to half an hour.
So it was whilst Rick was slowly crawling along in his van that night the witch girls
were awestruck as their magics summoned some slain evil dragoness ,whose immense misty body was
heaving and pushing its way out of the cauldron and into the physical world.
The witches had overdone it this time and they simply stood there rooted in terror as
the daemon heaved and shook as she awaited their commands.
Since the thirteen human witches all stood in protective chalk circles,the
daemon couldn't go after them.
The beast just stood there,glowering at them with luminous slitted green fire
eyes.
Finally Petunia recovered and ordered the daemon to seek a suitable human host.She however
fudged the part about telling the thing how long it was allowed to stay in the mortal plane.
Now the daemon,with its evil cunning,smelt Petunia,and smelt Rick off in the distance.
What the dragoness daemon really wanted to do was gobble up this hated human who was ordering it
around,and take the humans soul off to its own plane of brimstone,hellfires and wailing
trapped human souls.
Alas Petunia was protected by that chalk circle.
However the other scent from the human in the moving iron cage wasn't,and the daemon could
tell by the bloodscent the two humans were related.
So the daemon dissolved in the night and departed from the magic making.
So it was that Rick was driving along when he suddenly saw the figure of a young woman in a white
dress dash in front of his vehicle.
He slammed on the brakes,swerved to avoid her and his van plunged off the road and into the swamp.
It came to lye on its side ,the radiator busted and steaming,the lights blinked and went out.
After a few minutes a dazed Rick pushed open the drivers side door and stood on shaky legs in a
foot of fetid water.
In the darkness the daemon dragoness oozed into her human host and went to work.
In the darkness the sounds of ripping cloth interupted the chirping of the
crickets as Ricks body swelled and grew.Then came the stretching of skin,the muscled
bulged and grew,there was a bloody rip as new powerful wings tore out of hir back,then the
crunching of bones as Rick's jaws lengthened,her hips widened and reformed,and the new dragoness
plunked down on all fours as her body finished turning into a vast powerful female
dragoness with glowing green eyes,blood red scales and a angry swishing spiny tail that
clanged on the ruined van slowly sinking in the swamp mud behind her.
The daemon and Rick were one,and since they both had a interest in the human witch named
Petunia,the beast quickly took to the air and ,her forked tongue flickering in and out of her maw,the dragon tracked the human witches scent back to where Petunia now was,warily approaching her mothers
creepy old mansion.
So it was the dragon settled in the road in front of the horrified witch,and spoke to
her in her fathers voice.
"Petunia,don't you recognize your father?Its me,Rick"
