On the run

After I passed some distant lights to the west, I approached a rocky steep coast. Sudden gusts of wind came from the north east from time to time and the waves got a bit steeper. In the moonlight I could see a steep raise of terrain.

I maneuvered to a stretch of land with no visible source of light. There was no beach, but I found a place where the water was a bit calmer.

I packed the rests of the bottles in my bag, turned the boat with stern towards the coast. Then I carefully slipped into the water which went up to my chest with my feet on the ground. I fixed the motor in place to just push the boat ahead with the maximum speed where I could easily hold the boat. Then I aimed it back to sea. I didn’t know how it would turn out, but I wanted to the boat to be found somewhere else.

I dunked myself into the water and tried to get rid of all the jeez, especially in my hair, for a few minutes. Without soap it was a nuisance, especially because I wasn’t able to get rid of the corset. There were cords at the back, but the knot didn’t budge at all and felt off.

After that I carefully climbed up the rocks. After I passed the wet slippery area near the water I was able to climb up to a point where I could start to walk again. I was dead tired.

A short rest would be okay so I sat down on a boulder for a while and managed to remove the gag after a while. The latches were wrapped in tape and it was pain to remove them. Finally I was able to close my mouth again. It was quite sore after all the time.

Considering what to do with the vile thing I decided to take it with me for now as someone could find it and would give them a hint where I reached the coast. They might be able to track me with dogs if they found it to soon. I latched it to the strap of my bag and opened one of the bottled from the boat.

The beverage had a slight lemon taste and probably was one of these isotonic stuff. I’d have preferred water, but beggars ain’t be choosers. I took a few deep swigs and put the bottle back in the bag again.

Looking down at myself I realized I that the ankle cuffs, the excuse for a panties, the skimpy skirt and the darned corset along with those bracers were the only thing I had aside from the bag with some plastic bottles. I had some money though, but my cheeks started to get warm a bit imagining to walk into a store in this attire. It wasn’t exactly subtle either.

I wondered how I’d fare with no shoes though.

Sighing I got back on my feet again. The moonlight was bright enough to make some progress. I reached a dirt track a few minutes later which lead from east to the west. A smaller path leading east started right in front of me a few meters away.

Should I keep to a path? The mountains were rough so cutting across could lead to lots of diversions. I wanted to go northeast in general, but didn’t want to stay near the coast. Staying at the coast would probably be much faster. Either I could head east on the track or I could try cut across the mountains ahead, which looked quite steep.

The road it was. I took the smaller one as it went more up the mountain. Carefully I navigated along the rocky trail. After a while I noticed that my feet seemed more durable as was normal, which enabled me to pick up a faster pace.

The path ran along the coast though. After an hour I reached a few buildings including what looked like a small church. I continued down the path farther to the south east and it ended at another lone church. The path ended here.

Going back wasn’t really an option, so I started to make my way along the coast to the north. Without an actual path and the steep terrain my progress was slowing to a crawl. As it started to dawn I searched for a place to hole up. I came across a greener area and found a rugged ridge covered by trees. After searching for a while I found a hideout with cover to the sky.

As I was dead dead tired by now I fell asleep a few moments after my head touched the ground.

I woke up with the sun high in the sky. It was hot and I was thirsty. I emptied the first bottle. Since I might find a place to refill I put the empty bottle back into the bag. Plastic isn’t exactly heavy.

As the sun scorched the area I decided to wait until the sun went down some more. I just leaned against a boulder, pulled my knees to my chin and slung my arms around my legs. I spaced out after a while.

I came back to my senses as I heard a helicopter in the distance. I had plenty of cover to the sky so I decided to just stay put. The machine seemed to sweep the area from an altitude, but after about half an hour it left the area. I waited another half an hour, but it didn’t come back. The sun started to drop behind the mountains to the west.

It got quite a bit cooler and so I decided to move on. I was in a kind of valley at the moment and the area ahead seemed to get rougher and steeper.

I inched my way north for few hours. My control over this body improved vastly.

Taken from Royal Road, this narrative should be reported if found on Amazon.

I found a small cave near noon. Since I was still feeling exhausted and tired, I decided to hole up in the cave for the rest of the day and the night. I’d continue my way north early tomorrow morning. The cave was high enough to sit but not really deep. The ground was covered with a sheet of fine sand so it would be better than bare rock.

Looking down myself I started to get rid of the ankle cuffs for a while, but I found no locking mechanism at all. Perhaps it was cleverly hidden but it may as well be some snap-in mechanism. I needed tools for these.

I could remove the bracers, they were simply fastened with strings and a knot. Grime had started accumulate beneath. Since I had no water I rubbed my arms and the bracers with some sand. Not ideal but I felt better afterwards. I shuddered imagining the situation under the corset.

The skirt and the panties were of a similar design so I took them off an tried to clean them a bit.

The corset didn’t budge however. There were strings at the back, but the knot was covered in what I thought was hardened glue. I’d need at least a knife. And some proper replacement to cover myself up at least a bit.

The blue skin was strange to look at, but the coloration was quite even and the skin felt natural. My nails were blue as well, but with a slightly darker hue.

My short ginger hair was totally tousled as far as I could feel. A mirror would be nice. I would try not to shatter the next I was going to find. Well the last wasn’t a portable one, so it didn’t really matter.

As far as I could see I had the body of a woman now. No dick. I felt it occasionally in the beginning, but the feeling had been vanished over the day. The boobs were obvious though and I could feel it now when I squeezed them. They were quite pert, but maybe that was because of that corset pressing them together. There hadn’t been much jiggling before they put that thing on me, but the sensations coming from my chest were garbled and weird at that time.

I put all the stuff back on in the end as they were the only things I had to cover me at least a bit. As soon as I got access to a store I’d buy pants, a few t-shirts and some underwear.

It was going to be difficult though, as I’d need quite unusual sizes. I might find some shorts though which was okay for these temperatures. It would get a bit cooler in a few months though.

One thing I really appreciated that I got no sunburn. Having blue skin gave me no hint how I would take the sun out there. It seemed to be decent, but I hadn’t been out in the sun around noon for now.

“Your personal assistant is ready to work now. I am waiting for your orders.“ A sonorous voice came from a strange direction.

I flinched and bumped my head against the cave wall.

“Oww!” I turned my head while groping the hurting spot cautiously with my left hand.

“I’m sorry to have startled you. This was not my intention.” The voice piped up again.

The sound still came from a strange direction and there was no one else in the cave.

“Where are are you?” I turned to have my back against the wall.

There was plenty of blood on my left hand.

“Inside your head.” the voice stated.

Somehow it was like wearing a headset. The sound was equally loud in both of my ears, and I couldn’t really point out a direction.

“What are you doing inside my head? Get out!” I yelled while pressing my hand firmly on the bleeding wound.

“I am made to assist you with many tasks.” The voice piped unperturbed.

Still no-one was in the cave with me.

“I can’t get out though.” The voice stated firmly.

“The same way you got in?” I furrowed my brows.

“An adequate medical facility is needed to remove me.” The voice answered politely.

This was going nowhere.

“Care to explain more detailed who you are?” I snarled back.

“I’m am a personal assistant. I can manage your appointments for example. You can instruct verbally to keep track of things and I’m going to take care of your problems within my abilities.” The voice lectured me.

This sounded ridiculous.

“I can interact to a degree with all of your senses and can store information for you.” The voice continued.

“The hit to my head seemed to have made serious damage.” I started to feel a little bit lightheaded.

“There is no damage to your brain reported.” The voice tried to calm me down, failing.

“How do you know!?” I barked.

There were a few moments of silence. Maybe the delusions stopped somehow.

“I am connected to your neural system.” The voice explained.

“So I’m not hallucinating?” The pain on my head started to tune down a bit.

“Of course not! You can hear me, can you?” The voice exclaimed.

This wasn’t happening. I decided to play along to get more information.

“So you said to can interfere with any of my senses. Draw a blue line across my field of vision.” I wondered what would happen.

A line, blue as my skin appeared across my field of view.

I blinked a few times and then rubbed my eyes, but the line was there, taunting me.

“Delete the line.” The line vanished.

This was just ridiculous, but as long as it worked somehow there might be some uses.

“Can you tell what time it is?” I tried a simple thing.

“I have no means to determine the local time. Can you provide me information about how to determine the local time?” The voice replied apologetically.

“Well the day has twenty-four hours and each hour is divided into 60 minutes. It’s twelve o’clock when sun is at the highest visible point in the sky.” I explained.

“This method is really local as it changes while you change position, but only in a certain way.” The voice seemed not to be impressed.

“Actually this is an old definition of local time. It was done that way for a long time. The planet is split into zones where time of a point in this zone determines the time for the complete zone to help to mitigate the problem to a degree, but the definition I gave you is the best approximation without access to actual clocks. It is called the solar time.“ I briefly explained timezones to the voice

“This solution is still inefficient. I could try to determine the solar time for you and keep track of the value. Don’t expect handling appointments to work flawlessly though.” The voice sighed.

“Then do that from now on. There are radio signals with the local time information at some points.” There was a time signal accessible for mobiles.

“I will determine solar time as soon as possible and keep track of it. I start analyzing the radio signals available as well.” The voice declared.

Great. I was curious where this will end. I needn’t time at the moment, but I could check what all this was about.

I decided to get some sleep. Maybe tomorrow the voice was gone. This was really weird. I laid down and tried to get some more sleep.
