A Killer's Apprentice

Alxina smiled down at the street market brimming with fresh meat--er, people. She decided to use her favorite method to lure people away from the crowds, and looked about for those of richer status, as their robes were usually filled with coin, and the meat on their bones was plentiful. She finally found a target--a woman with graying hair, obviously nearing her mid-fifties. Yes, this woman would be perfect.

She took a moment to work up fake tears, a trick she'd learned in her airbending household to guilt-trip her old mother, and then ran down the street in the clothes she'd been wearing when she'd first met her new momma. They were dirty and ragged, and torn in some places, looking like the perfect clothing for a poor child. She ran up to the lady and tugged on the woman's red silk sleeve, sniffling. The woman looked down and her face instantly became one of compassion.

"Oh, my poor dear, what has happened to you?" The woman asked. "I can't find my momma!" Alxina wailed, working herself to an overdramatic point, her tears running freely now. The woman only looked at her tenderly. "I'm sure we could find her! Where did you see her last?" she said, and Alxina took the woman's hand and pulled her away from the crowds, still sniffling here and there, but leaving the waterworks behind. This woman was now putty in the nine year old's capable hands.

Alxina led her towards the woods, until they reached a clearing not far from the cart her mother and she used to take the bodies home. Once here, the woman looked at her quizically, and opened her mouth to speak, but it was too late--two of Alxina's metal claws were in the woman's carotid artery, and out of the woman's mouth came a gurgling sound and then she dropped to the floor. Alxina quickly took the silk robe off of the woman, so as not to stain the wealthy fabric with blood, and left the woman in her thin shift, the blood soaking into it. Alxina took all of the coin out of the robe pockets, putting that into a bag hanging on her little shoulders, and stuffed the robe on top before dragging the heavy cart back to the clearing and managing to shove the woman up there.

Panting, she began trudging back home slowly. In the past three months, what little baby fat she still had left was gone, turning into firm muscle. For a nine year old girl, she was quite strong and well-built, a production of hard manual labor that she pushed herself through.

Eona went to a small village, she had brought the cart with her. She went in and she slaughtered the entire place. One by one they all fell, the cart was filled with all of the bodies of the dead. Eona took some oil and she burnt the place to the ground, it wasn't until the next day did she return with the cart full of bodies. She went inside and she asked Alxina to help her with them.

For a brief moment, Alxina would be able to see a look in her mother's eye that could, and would, scare any creature and fill them with fear. It was the look of an animal, one that had just killed many, and still wished to kill more. Then, as quickly as it had come, it was gone. "Child, I got rid of some stress, that's what I did. The place is of no importance. And good job on planting the flowers, and I hope that pig got full for once." She went inside and she started to cook.

Once the meal was done, and a far larger meal than she had ever prepared, they went to wake up Nami. Of course, Eona and Alxina had already eaten their fill. Nami looked at the meal and she ate. She ate and ate and ate. Until, it appeared that she had finally met her match. She was sweating as she was eating, she was groaning as she ate. Her stomach was growling not with hunger, but with the stress of too much food. But, she managed to eat all of it, or so she thought. Eona went to the kitchen and pulled out another dish, just one more dish. Nami went to work on it. She got halfway through it when she fell backwards in her chair. When she landed, the ground shook and the chair splintered under her weight. She couldn't handle any more. She was fit to burst! Eona grabbed a blanket and she put it over her. Telling her to relax and to wait until she could move again. She went on over to Alxina in the next room. "Think we should wait for the rest of the time? By that time, she won't even be able to move. If we wait for a little while longer, we may be able to get her to that point faster if we continue stuffing the pig like this for every meal. In maybe a month instead of the year, what do you think?"

OOC: This choice will decide whether or not there will be a month time skip or an eleven month time skip! I can't keep on writing like this without sounding like someone with a fetish!

"That sounds like an excellent plan." And so, the true fattening of Nami began...

Time Skip: Eleven Months. Dear God, how big is she!?

To answer that question, she was outside. In her own hut. A hut large enough for a large catholic family. She could no longer move. She was simply too large. Her belly was twelve feet out of the huts main way in. In order to feed her they had to climb on her massive body and put the food into her mouth. She could no longer see, her face was so fat that her eyes were permanently closed. She had twenty four chins. Her shins were as large as tree trunks. Her thighs the size of a great oak. Her meaty arms couldn't move, only her jaw could move still. For that was all that she needed. The side of the hut burst, her fat spilling out of it. "Alxina, do you want to kill her? We can't afford keeping her like this."

"You go kill her, I feel as though you need to do it." She patted her daughter's head gently and she stepped back, preparing her infamous pot. She gathered the spices and she waited until her daughter came in with the news of her sisters death.

Eona listened to what Alxina had said, that wasn't good. She went out to the hut and she formed her claws silently, she aimed them at her head and she fired. All five of the claws hit their mark, and the snoring ceased. She went on to begin cutting the meat off of her body, calling for Alxina to come help. Once she had enough for a feast, she cooked. Once the cooking was done, she ate. She had made sure to make the most delicious batch of food ever created. She even decided to try and make some brain pie. I'm not sure if that's tasty or not though. Once that was done, she went out to begin carving the rest of the meat for storage. She had begun salting the meat when she noticed that it was getting late, so she decided to finish salting it all in the morning.

Eona awoke from her slumber. She had decided to sleep in because for once in an entire year she could, and without having to slave away in the kitchen for that fat pig. She awoke and she was feeling a tad bit peckish so she started cooking some of the girl's remains for breakfast. She had made sausages, I'm not going to ruin sausages for you and tell you how they're made. She went over to Alxina and she woke her up, giving her a plate of sausage. "Want to go kill someone with me? Or better still, think of all the skin that the blob had on her. Want to go tan that?"

Eona smiled and brought her daughter over to the girls dead body. She instantly got to cutting the skin into strips to sell at the market. After an hour or so, half of her arm was skinned, and her brain matter wouldn't be enough to tan all of it. So, they had to take something else's brain matter to make it work. Going into the meat locker, Eona took a club and bludgeoned some old woman's head open and gathered the brain matter for the tanning.

Eona literally face palmed, "Of course we could have. Why didn't I think of that?" With that, she got back to tanning and she was just muttering under her breath about it all. She couldn't understand why she didn't think of it, or why she didn't like the idea of going outside of the house. Truth is, she was getting soft.

Alxina watched her mother silently, then set back to work tanning the skin. Then, she said something that had been on her mind for a while: "Momma, when will you put me in school?" It's not that she WANTED to go to school, but at the same time, she didn't want to stay at a nine year old's knowledge level her whole life.

[OOC: Sorry it's so shitty and short, I'm just kinda tired at the moment. XD]

"Well, I guess if you want to go then you could go. But I think people would be suspicious of a nine year old that went missing suddenly returning to school. So We would have to move to a new city or town. We can do that after the blob's been eaten." She went over to the meat locker to get some of the blob's meat. She cooked it up and she served it to Alxina and herself. "Please remember, I've spent the last year cooking for fifty people a day, so if I start ot cook too much, tell me."
