Curse of the Transformation

Chapter 2: ### **Part One: The Awakening**



The world had always been fragile, but no one had realized how thin that thread was until the first scream echoed through the alleyways of Marrow Bay. It was a sound that cracked through the night, splitting the silence with a force that reverberated through every inch of the town. A woman—wild-eyed and drenched in blood—stood over the mangled body of a man, her hands trembling as they grasped his severed limbs. The moonlight caught the glint of her eyes, shining with a predatory gleam, as she tilted her head, staring at the crowd that had gathered in stunned silence.

"Is she...?" someone whispered, unable to finish the question. 

Others stood frozen, not sure whether to flee or stay. The woman's skin was pale, too pale, and her hair, once neat, now hung in wild strands that seemed to whip around her face as if controlled by an unseen force. Her mouth stretched open in a smile, a smile that was too wide, too unnatural.

**"Help me..."** she moaned, her voice a strange mix of desperation and hunger. She looked at the bloodied corpse beneath her and then back at the crowd, as though unsure whether they were friends or enemies. But then, as if the realization hit her all at once, her eyes darkened.

With a savage roar, she pounced.

The crowd scattered, but it was too late. Her teeth—sharp and long like daggers—sank into the nearest man's throat, pulling his body toward her as though it were weightless. His scream was drowned in her monstrous hunger.

In the days that followed, Marrow Bay became a ghost town. News spread, but no one could explain what was happening. The first reports from the neighboring towns echoed the same stories—women attacking their husbands, children, friends, tearing them apart with inhuman strength. In the cities, there were no safe zones, no escape from the chaos. Some women were completely unaffected, but they were few and far between. The transformations were slow at first. Subtle. A subtle twitch in the eyes. The curling of nails. But those small changes grew larger, more noticeable.

Dr. Lara Dean, a respected geneticist, was among the first to study the phenomenon. She spent days pouring over samples, trying to understand what had caused the drastic changes. Her research, however, had quickly turned to desperation. Whatever the cause was, it was unstoppable. The women transformed from the inside out—flesh twisted, skin stretched, teeth turned to fangs. What was most terrifying, however, was how they seemed to retain their intelligence, their capacity for cruelty. This wasn't just a physical change—it was a transformation of the soul.

But as the days went on, one fact became undeniably clear: the women were only the beginning. The men were next. As the transformation accelerated, the infected women were joined by others who had once been ordinary, peaceful citizens. The world that had once been full of laughter, of hope, was now a killing ground.

It was on the third night after the first attack that **Narkos** arrived.

A shadow in the corner of the city, a man cloaked in arrogance and power. His dark eyes glimmered with a predatory hunger of his own. He watched as the city burned, as women tore apart their families, as the world around him descended into chaos. But unlike the others, Narkos wasn't scared. He was amused.

His power was extraordinary—far beyond that of the transformed women. He felt no fear, no hesitation. He relished the destruction, the anarchy. To him, this was the ultimate game, and the world was his chessboard. Women, monsters, men, all of them—mere pieces to be controlled, to be exploited. 

From his vantage point in the crumbling tower of what had once been a hospital, Narkos observed the frenzied attempts of the survivors to find a cure, to search for some glimmer of hope. He could hear their cries, their desperate calls for salvation. But he wasn't interested in salvation. No, Narkos wanted power. He wanted dominion over it all.

He didn't need to understand the cause of the transformation. What mattered to him was that the world was now his playground, and those who resisted would fall. Women had become beasts, but Narkos had never seen women as anything but tools. He had always known how to manipulate power. Now, he would control this catastrophe, use it to bend the world to his will.

In the midst of this madness, a small group of men formed a resistance. Led by Dr. Dean and a few others who had survived the initial attacks, they scoured the ruins of Marrow Bay, looking for answers. But with every corner turned, with every shadowed alley, they encountered only violence. Some of the women who hadn't fully transformed had started to fight back—attempting to stop the chaos, trying to save what was left of their world. But their voices were drowned out by the roars of those who had completely succumbed to the change.

Dr. Dean knew there was no time left. They had to find a cure, and they had to find it fast. Every hour that passed brought the world closer to complete destruction. But as the men and women searched, they couldn't escape the inevitable truth that loomed over them: the world was changing, and not everyone would survive the transformation. The monsters were becoming more powerful, more relentless.

And lurking in the shadows, Narkos watched.
