The world was a blur of sensations for Claire—pain, power, fear, and an overwhelming sense of something dark and primal taking hold within her. Her body continued to grow, muscles stretching and expanding as the combined forces of the B-Virus and G-Virus pushed her to the brink of her humanity. She lay amidst the rubble, her massive form filling the cavernous space beneath the collapsed lab, struggling to maintain a grip on her sanity.
Through the haze of her transformation, a faint sound reached her ears, cutting through the cacophony of her own heavy breaths and the distant echoes of falling debris. It was a voice, soft and childlike, calling her name. "Claire... Claire!"
She blinked, her vision slowly focusing on the small figure standing a short distance away. It was Sherry, her eyes wide with a mix of fear and amazement as she took in Claire's enormous form. The sight of the girl, so small and fragile in comparison, sent a wave of clarity through Claire's mind, pushing back the encroaching darkness.
"Sherry..." Claire's voice was a deep, rumbling growl, but she fought to keep it gentle, to not scare the girl any more than she already was. She struggled to sit up, her movements slow and deliberate as she tried to minimize the destruction around her. The realization of her nakedness struck her, and she quickly moved her arms to cover herself, a flush of embarrassment cutting through the haze of her transformation.
Sherry took a tentative step forward, her eyes filled with concern. "Claire, are you okay? What happened to you?"
Claire took a deep breath, willing herself to stay calm. "I'm... I'm okay, Sherry. Just... just give me a moment." She shifted, adjusting her position to better shield her exposed body, the rubble crunching beneath her weight.
Sherry's gaze darted around the destroyed room, taking in the sight of the monstrous creature that had once been her father, now lying broken and defeated. Her eyes returned to Claire, a mix of fear and hope in their depths. "Claire, you have to stop growing. We have to get out of here."
Claire nodded, her mind slowly clearing as she focused on Sherry's voice. The primal urges that had driven her moments ago receded, replaced by a fierce determination to protect the girl. "I know, Sherry. I'll... I'll find a way."
With great effort, Claire rose to her feet, the room seeming to shrink even further as she stood. She had to hunch over to avoid hitting her head on the ceiling, her towering height making the space feel impossibly small. She looked down at Sherry, her heart aching at the sight of the girl's bravery in the face of such overwhelming odds.
"Stay close to me," Claire said, her voice firm. "We'll get through this together."
Sherry nodded, her trust in Claire evident in her eyes. "Okay."
Claire carefully navigated the rubble, each step causing the ground to tremble beneath her weight. She kept one arm wrapped around her chest, trying to maintain some semblance of modesty as she moved. The air was thick with dust and the smell of decay, but the presence of Sherry gave her the strength to push forward.
They needed to find a way out, a place where Claire could regain control and find a solution to her uncontrollable growth. But for now, the priority was to keep moving, to stay one step ahead of the chaos that surrounded them.
As they made their way through the debris, Claire couldn't shake the feeling that the battle was far from over. The darkness within her still lurked, a constant reminder of the monstrous power she now possessed. But with Sherry by her side, she knew she had a reason to fight, a reason to hold on to her humanity.
Together, they would face whatever horrors awaited them, their bond unbroken even in the face of the nightmare that had overtaken their lives.
