The spidergirl untied Luke and led him to a blanket on the floor.
"Later you can go wherever you want, but until your transformation isn't complete you will be closed in this hut for your own safety.", said the
drider, "I will look after you every few hours and bring you something to eat. By the way, my name is Zoey. Oh, look your are already changing!"
Zoey pointed at his arm and he saw something like scab on his skin. Luke begin to scratch it, but Zoey stopped him. "Don't try to remove it! That
only makes your change hurtful." With these words she left the hut and Luke heard her blocking the door and the windows with wooden bars.
He must have slept for some hours cause the next thing he remembered is that Zoey was in the hut again and put a plate with vegetables next to
him.
"Oh, you are awake. Don't worry. Most of us slept during the main time of their transformation. I see that you are halfway through." Then she left
Luke again. He examined his body and saw that the brown scab now covered his arms and most of his body. Also he saw that his fingers became
thicker. Also his bottom felt numb and after he tried to look at his back, he saw that his bottom seemed to expand.
Luke slept some more, now mostly on his stomach cause the further swelling of his abdomen butt made it difficult to lie on the back.
When he awoke next he got a better hint into which direction his transformation went. On hint was his swollen butt, which seemed to change into
an insectoid abdomen or his fingers, which seemed to fuse into two big claws. But the most obvious hint were the four extra legs which began to
grow right behind his old ones and were covered in scab like the rest of his body, except for his head and chest. Luke guessed that the scab
must be his chitin exoskeleton and he wanted to ask Zoey about it. Asa spider hybrid she must have some experience with it.
When Luke awoke next and last time during his transformation, Zoey was back and he could see that she was kinda worried. He wanted to ask
her what happened, when he looked down at his body and let out an almost inhuman shriek.
"I'm sorry, Luke. That happen some very rare cases during the transformation, but don't worry. Everything will be okay, nobody will mind it.", said
Zoey and tried to comfort Luke.
"Everything okay?! I am a freaking girl! Let alone a half-insect girl! And what do you mean nobody mind it? I mind it!", screamed Luke in his new
high-pitched voice.
"Well, look! There isn't anything you can do about.", said Zoey, "Due to your change you must start a complete new life anyway, so think of being
a girl just as another aspect of your new life. And like I said in rare cases a sex change happened during the transformation so we new about
your problems and can help you, don't worry. All hybrids in this village are there for you and will support you. We care about each other, no
matter what his or her form are, okay?"
"Okay", sniffed Luke. Somehow he felt strange and wanted to cry. He didn't want to yell at Zoey, but the whole body change thing became simply
to much for him. Strangely he got the feeling to hug Zoey and she gently padded his back.
"Also you aren't an insect-hybrid. You are a scorpion-hybrid, and a very lovely one too.", said Zoey and led him outside to a well where Luke
could see his , now her, mirror image in the water and she saw her new body for the first time.
Luke was the same height as Zoey and her face looked much like a girly version of his old one with a smaller nose, bigger eyes and delicate
features. Her sandy brown hair went down to her waist and her smaller, still humanlike, naked torso sported now a pair of firm B-cup breasts.
The rest of his body was covered in a yellow-brownish chitin skin and his hands were now huge scorpion claws.
"Well, I guess I must learn to use this, but I fear I won't be famous for the dexterity of my fingers.", joked Luke.
Behind her, her abdomen wasn't as huge as she feared it and it ended in a curved scorpion tail, whose tip was hovering in the air right behind her
shoulders.
"I hope I won't sting myself accidentally.", worried Luke, but Zoey assured her that she would help her to learn living with her new anatomy.
Which also included Luke's six insectoid legs which where a lot like Zoey's, and Zoey saw that Luke had some problems coordinating six legs at
once.
Also Luke wasn't too happy with her sudden gender swap, she thought she could live like this, especially with someone like Zoey at his side.
