Amy no longer felt like a woman. She felt like some kind of thing. She watched Raven disappear into her boss like a sweet treat. Like a nightmare. She helped someone escape Lyra’s throat while that woman denied Raven’s salvation. She didn’t really even know Raven, but she knew Raven was somewhere deep inside Lyra. Screaming. She didn’t have time to contemplate her part in Raven’s grim fate. They were still fighting, and Raven was not. Raven was food, but they still had a chance.
Amy held on the best she could, her body badly bruised from the rough handling inside Lyra’s mouth. She had thought she was going to have to watch again as these freaks ate someone else but when they swapped hands she was next on the menu. This other intern, Jasmine? Joanne? She couldn’t remember. It didn’t matter, she was Amy’s last hope. Amy began to panic, knowing full well how quickly her fellow intern kicked someone else into Lyra’s hell hole.
“Oh, I recognize this one. You still think you can make it here, don’t you dear?” Lyra was speaking to the other intern but didn’t wait for an answer. “Why don’t you prove it? Why don’t you feed her to Alex?” Lyra offered sweetly.
Amy was in a full panic. Lyra just commanded someone else to toss her into Alex’s gullet. She didn’t even know this woman, but now she was Amy’s only lifeline. Amy grasped the other intern in desperation and began to beg.
“We have to work together, okay? Please, don’t let me go. Don’t listen to her!” Amy looked into the terrified shrunken woman’s eyes, hoping for some shred of humanity. As they were lowered into Alex’s waiting mouth, all Amy could see in the other intern was fear. Wild, blind, fear.
“Hey. Don’t look down there. Look at me.” Amy pleaded with her, following her gaze. She was staring through Amy, into Alex’s throat. Amy dared not look down, fearing it might be the last she would ever see. Alex’s voice shook her resolve, a deep and terrible laugh.
“I’m sorry,” Whoever she was, she began to speak. Quiet at first, but then screaming apologies between heaving sobs. “I’m sorry! I’m sorry!” Her panicked voice echoed inside Alex’s minty mouth as she tried to loosen Amy’s grip. Her arms shook, trying to pry Amy’s fingers away.
“Ahhhhhhhh~” Alex’s throat was slightly more red in tint, and a little smaller but still able to easily hold both of them. Mint blasted their exposed bodies, a disgusting mixture of warmth and chill.
“Be a dear and toss her in, will you? Alex is terribly hungry.” Lyra asked from above, her voice almost lost in the pops and clicks of Alex’s tongue.
Amy felt the slimy bumps of Alex’s tongue under her soles, and she screamed. Amy tried to lift her legs to avoid further touching, but the horrible tongue rose to savor her flesh. The warm bumps rubbed along her bare ass, and both women shrieked. Amy’s death grip on the intern above her was becoming increasingly difficult, and she was actively trying to throw her off.
“Hold me. Hold me! Don’t let go! Oh, God! Please! No! No!!” Amy screamed, her voice echoing as they descended to the bottom of Alex’s mouth.
“Tsk. Poor thing. If you don’t get rid of her then you’re both going in~” Lyra’s voice was absurdly cutesy. A caricature of kindness.
Amy was hanging by a thread. The awful sobs of the woman above her were punctuated with desperate punches and slippery fists. Amy felt the back of Alex’s throat with her foot and tried to push off of it to gain leverage. Anything to stay out of the sickening throat closing around her on all sides. Her breasts rubbed against the little bumps at the base of Alex’s tongue, but the tongue flexed upwards. Her feet were sucked in, and she lost her grip as Alex’s throat constricted her. She tried to claw her way out, but hot flesh gripped her on all sides.
“I’m sorry I’m sorry I’m sorry!” The other woman’s sobbing apologies had become a mantra.
“No! Please!” Amy managed to scream as her world turned upside down in a deafening GULP. Alex had swallowed, and she tumbled down. Pink and red walls massaged her as she descended, and full panic set in. She screamed and kicked, begging to wake up. Alex’s greedy body continued to push her down, and the mint gave way to acrid miasma.
“Not bad, fresh meat.” Alex’s voice came from everywhere and nowhere. Amy was hollow, unable to comprehend the next insult. “I didn’t think you had it in you.” Amy realized that Alex was talking to the woman who fed her to Alex. Anger and frustration gave way to resigned horror as the bottom opened up below her, and the screaming began.
Amy was in a brief moment of freefall, unable to tell direction and surrounded by sounds and smells. The woman swallowed first was somewhere inside the tumultuous cavern, screaming desperately. Her voice was ragged and animalistic. Amy splashed into the thick fluid and immediately thrashed around inside Alex’s belly. The acidic tides were violent, tossing her around as the stomach walls undulated. The gurgling and sloshing were only rivaled by the near-constant horrific screams.
The terrified woman managed to swim herself to safety, climbing out of the stomach acid. It stank like hot chemicals and sour meat. Amy realized the liquid was reddish-brown and likely contained some of that first swallowed intern already. Amy’s skin was tingling, and her ragged sobs rose to match the screams echoing inside Alex. Their lonely cries went unnoticed, Amy could hear them talking to each other. Debating who was next. Amy hoped to find that traitor in here soon and throttle her before Alex’s body took them all.
The screaming changed pitch, higher and more desperate. Amy wandered the alien landscape to locate the poor soul who came before her. The stomach ridges were slimy, causing her skin to itch and burn. She managed to find the woman, writhing in a small pool of acid along a bulge in the stomach wall. She was dissolving, slowly. Her skin was red and inflamed, and as she tried to slide out of the puddle she simply slid back in.
Amy looked around, her human instincts prompting her to ask for help. To seek first aid. She saw only the disgusting dance of Alex’s stomach walls, pumping more acid in to ensure the morsels were digested. They weren’t getting out. Amy looked at the itchy spots on her skin, and small red marks began to appear. The woman’s screams offered a preview of what was to come for her. The shrieks were unbearable, a mind-numbing reflection of the hellish pain the woman was enduring.
There was no hope. Amy walked to the woman struggling in the puddle. The liquid was a mixture of Alex’s boiling fluid and the woman’s dwindling life. Amy pulled her from the pool, nearly slipping inside herself. The partially digested woman writhed in response, trying to reach out to get more help. Her face was red puffy, her eyes unblinking and raw.
“Help. Help me. Please.” A wet gurgle in the shape of a voice bubbled out of the dying woman.
Amy wasted no time and pushed the woman into the acid lake. She writhed and screamed, but started to sink. Her screams turned to bubbles, and then to silence. Alex’s stomach didn’t seem to notice, still pumping more acid in. The sloshing and growling was overwhelming, and Amy couldn’t tell if it was worse than hearing those screams. She sobbed violently, huddling up into herself at the edge of Alex’s deadly pit.
There was a scream and splash. Another woman was consigned to this fate. Amy tried walking but everything was beginning to burn. She sat in a small puddle and hoped to see the face of her betrayer. She was not granted that last request, as a different woman rose from the depths. Amy didn’t recognize her as she climbed the stomach ridge.
“Fuck. Fuck. Fuck!” The new occupant gasped. She managed to find Amy, still huddled in a small pool slowly disappearing. “She fucking… She…” The woman tried to come to terms with the predicament, shaking and sputtering.
“She ate us. We’re f- food.” Amy offered in a hollow distant tone.
“We have to… We…” The woman tried to say something productive. She was interrupted as another woman dropped in from above, squealing as she dropped into the fluid.
“We have to help her!” The woman’s call to action rang through Alex’s stomach, dissipating into the sloshing and undulating walls. Neither woman moved, but the itch in Amy’s skin rose to a fever pitch. She could no longer resist. Amy let out a pained moan, but it only got worse. Amy rose, fighting through the pain. She walked towards the edge, and her mind splintered as the pain continued to surpass her limits. Amy was surprised to hear the screaming again, this time coming from her own mouth. She knew there was only one thing left to do. She threw herself into Alex’s body, accepting she was now forfeit. More than anything, she needed the pain to stop.
The woman above her watched with abject terror as Amy smiled, her body sinking into the darkness and the pain subsiding. Despite being in a different bowel altogether, Amy hoped to find Raven in the abyss. The pain stopped, and Amy was no more. Churned into nutrients for Alex.
