Infinity: Rising of the Soul Weavers

* Diamond Eyes - Everything *

AN: this was a 3K-word chapter so I cut it in two for the ease of reading.

"Maya stop, I can't go in there!" Raven whispered loudly to her little sister that was dragging her by the arm into the girl's changing room.

"What do you mean? Do you want to go the boys' side?" Maya asked puzzled by Raven's words.

"No..." Raven replied with red cheeks, "but I- I think I can change in the washrooms?"

Currently, they were in a beautiful waterfront resort, away from Torinto city and its sad memories.

Even though the monster invasion was a global issue, it happened that some places were left unscathed, and this resort was one of them.

"No, you can't change the washrooms because they're not made for that!" Maya retorted impatiently.

Since Maria, a woman that's akin to their mother, had urged Raven and Maya to take a dip in the large swimming pool they have at the resort, mainly to relieve their stress, both girls obviously needed to change into their swimsuits.

But the problem arose from the fact that Raven had only been a girl for less than a week.

Previously, her real girl-body was disguised by a strange runestone and as such, she lived her entire life and up until lately as a boy.

She wasn't used to her new girl-body yet, nor to girls' mentality in general. Even though her hormones helped in that aspect, they also made her feelings harder to control than a runaway train.

'I really miss my life as a boy...' she thought to herself with a sad smile.

Everything was easier back then. She could just say whatever she wanted, and act the way she felt like, without being mindful of the countless stereotypes around her for being a "pretty girl".

She could use the men's washroom without even thinking twice. But now...

Now she couldn't use it because of her body, and had to even be more careful in the girl's washroom since she still has the mentality of a boy.

[You could change your body into that of a boy, temporarily.]

Kayla said in Raven's mind while trying to suppress a laugh. She was akin to a system that has been trapped in Raven's head after a recent accident.

'Kay, imma get back on you, I promise...' Raven replied to Kayla with fake rage, as she was making fun of her.

Maria had advised against changing her body, even though she could.

"It's a matter of getting used to it. Being a girl is your true nature after all, and it's not wise to suppress that." Maya had said with a 'soft' smile.

"Come on now!" Maya shook Raven out of her trance as she pulled her forcefully into the women's changing rooms.

Raven stopped in her tracks the moment she set foot in the changing room.

Watching all of the 'wonders' caused her blood to boil in her brain and threaten to rush down her nose.

'Is this it?' she thought to herself, 'is this how I die? High blood pressure... stroke in this... wonderful land? Have I been good enough to deserve this as my last memory?'

Noticing that Raven had 'malfunctioned', as it was apparent by the smoke rising from her ears, Maya face-palmed as she dragged her into one of the closed changing rooms.

'Oh my God...' Maya was both embarrassed and jealous of Raven's behaviour.

They weren't blood related sister, and after a bad accident where Raven ended up saving Maya from slavery, she started having this weird feelings for her.

Taking a moment to breath again, away from all of the half naked girls trying to change into their swimsuits, Raven felt substantially better. But at the same time, she realised something was off.

"Maya...."

"Aha?" answered Maya who was tired from dragging Raven around.

"I can't change into a swimsuit..." Raven muttered with a loud gulp and scared expression.

"Why?" Maya asked as she palm slapped her forehead.

"I'm basically a boy trapped in a girl's body, I'm not actually a girl! How do you expect me to- you know, get myself into something like that..." she said pointing at the swimsuit in Maya's hands.

"No, you're not a boy ... let me correct that for you," Maya said with a tired expression, "you were born a girl, with a girls' original mentality and body.

"Through unfortunate events, you ended up living as a boy, but that doesn't change the fact that you're a real girl, both in body and mind."

Even though it made sense to Raven, she still couldn't do it. "I'm sorry but I still can't-"

"Oh, let me help you with that!" cutting Raven off, Maya jumped on top of her and started undressing her.

"It's taking them a while to get changed, huh?" Maria said to Camilla who was sitting next to her, on a luxury beach chair.

Maria was a young woman that was in her early thirties, but her beautiful shiny skin and long silky jet black hair made her look in her mid twenties.

Her athletic body that was mostly revealed thanks to her azure blue swimsuit made her look even prettier, and combined with her sharp sapphire blue eyes, many people found it hard to look at anything besides her.

"I mean... you sent Raven and Maya, what did you expect?" Camilla said in reply. It wasn't a secret that Maya would get the butterflies whenever she was with Raven.

Even though she didn't stand out as much as Maria, Camilla was considered a beauty on her own. Her fair pale skin, long black hair, and deep blue eyes made her look like Maria's twin sister, even though the two weren't related in any way.

"But don't worry about it," Camilla continued, "we've sent Axane and Rain after them, so they should be good."

"Uhm," Maria nodded in worry as she used a large towel to cover her stomach and thighs. The stares were getting rather uncomfortable after all.

"Do you want me to scare them off?" Kuru asked.

Kuru was an alien of unknown race that looked like a small version of a lion-tiger hybrid that was both cute and menacing at the same time.

He was all jet black, except for his silver grey mane, and matching fluffy tail. Even though he was proud of his appearance, most people would just dismiss him as a wild cat.

Until he starts talking, that is.

"Haha, don't worry about it, I'm more concerned about Raven and Maya when they come out, even Axane too." Maria replied with a smile, "even though Jakol had given her a device that makes her look human, rather than her original silver Malaian form, she is still rather stunning..."

"Yeah..." Camilla said, not caring to hide the jealousy in her tone, "I personally think we should cut down some of her 'extra weight'... if you know what I mean." she said while gesturing towards her chest.

"Here they come!" Maria said happily, as she was getting worried something might've happened.

Looking at the four girls, Camilla saw Maya in her light green swimsuit that matched her hazel eyes, and quickly commented, "Maya has the 'extra weight' problem too..."

"Shush, are you jealous of a teen?" Maria raised her eyebrows sarcastically.

"No, I'm just stating facts..." Camilla replied with a fake smile that would be more appropriate for filming advertisements.

"..." Maria stayed silent for a while, observing the girls, before answering. "fair point."

Aside from Maya, Rain had a one piece orange swimsuit that highlighted her olive toned skin.

Axane was wearing a white swimsuit that went quite well with her silver white hair and matching eyes.

But as if to address Camilla's concern about her 'extra weight', she had a large red towel covering her shoulders, back, and part of her chest. In addition to that, she was carrying a small baby girl between her arms.

"Oh look at her go," Camilla said with a laugh, "covering her assist isn't the smartest move, but with baby Rituxi being so cute in her human form, she gains some extra points back."

"I mean, the stares get pretty unpleasant, you know. And yes with baby Rituxi in her arms, Axane always manages to look like a cute mother," Maria replied with a smile before taking a good look at Raven.

The crimson-purple haired girl had a light purple jacket covering her upper body, and even though the zipper was left open at the top, it only made her look prettier while highlighting her dark blue swimsuit.

"I honestly expected you to be wearing shorts at least," Maria said to the feverish coloured Raven while looking at her pale tender thighs. Turning to look at Maya, she asked, "what did you do to your sister?"
