Inktober Day 8: Teeth

The woman called Fraulein was a raggedly old monster.

Her transformation was even more dramatic than Ace's. Her cheeks hollowed out, her teeth began to clump together and grew into gigantic calcified mini-horns, with the canines so large that she couldn't keep her mouth shut. She drooled, and her face had a maniacal smile.

"So, who's first?" she asked.

The right side of her face began to crack, and her features dramatically became like that of an old woman. Her breasts began to sag, and the rIbs could show on her dress. Her hair became wild and began to float as though she was connected to static electricity. The color of her sclera and pupils inverted, and her neck began to stretch.

Finally, a couple of tattered wings burst pout of her back, shredding the dress there.

Within seconds, she had very few features that showed she was human.

"Well?" she asked.

Alec made to move, but he got cramps in his hip.

"Shit!" he gasped, sitting down.

"Oh, looks like you're out of commission, eh, Alec Winters..." she said, cackling loudly.

She knew who he was all this while. He was a target.

"...guess it's just us Ace," she said, her wings flapping as she began to float, "it's my 112th birthday today. Will you dears give me a birthday gift?" she asked as she began to ready herself for an attack.

"Gow am=bout a nice mahogany casket, you old wench!" Alec screamed. How did she look so young before?

"Cute of you to think you can kill me. I've absorbed the flesh of the likes of you to maintain my youth, but getting victims has been hard these past few weeks. I'm already beginning to look like I'm 50..." she said, her mind wandering off for a while.

"So I'll use you boys to top up my fountain of eternal youth. But don't worry, there'll still be enough flesh left for Bates to recognize you," she said.

Alex quickly grabbed a rod and threw it at her, but one flap of her wings repelled it with a strong gust of air as she hissed.

"I might be old, but I sill pack a punch or two!" she cried out.

"Alec, stay back. I'll handle her." Ace shouted.

"I never really knew you as the knight-in-shining-armor type, Chase. Are you sure you'll be able to fulfill that role?" She screeched as she few towards him quickly.Ace dodged and tried to slash her, but she was well beyond his reach, zooming quickly towards Alec.

"You first kiddo!"

Alec braced himself, and with a strong movement, leaped towards her. She didn't expect it and was unable to get out of the way as Alec rammed his fist into her chest. He knew he got her good, and at least three ribs had been broken.

With luck, they had punctured a lung.

She flew backward, a testament to the sheer strength of the armor. Ace was quick on the uptake and was already moving forward with his sword.

She managed to outmaneuver him at the cost of a slash to her side. Hissing, she dropped to the ground and slowly dragged herself to her feet. She then wrapped her wings around herself and closed her eyes.

Soon she unwrapped the,]m, and she was looking much leaner. But there was another change. Her injuries were all healed, and her wings looked a lot less tattered.

"I can rejuvenate myself using the energy stored in the cells of my flesh, boys. I'm not going nowhere, but can you say the same about yourselves?"

The marks on Ace's body were spreading fast, and it looked to Alec like he was trying to suppress them.

"Oh, you don't want to get too excited so that the perfect transformation doesn't occur? Or there's more, isn't there? The experiment wasn't a success, as the rumors say, right Ace?"

Ace looked at her and grunted as he forced the marks to recede a bit. Alec was shocked. What experiment was being referred to? What exactly was Ace?

"Alec, this is the time for teamwork. Neither of us are in our prime, so we'll need to team up to finish her off. Come."

Alec drew closer to him, and when he listened to the plan, he knew it was the only thing that would work.

He readied himself with the item required, and luckily, she didn't know what it was.

Ace then shouted, "Prepare to die!" and dashed towards her.

Fraulein never saw it coming.
