It had been about 15 minutes since Lisa, Sharon and the original Melissa had arrived back at Sharon's house, and her boyfreind Jim was already there. He was sat on the couch watching television as the three of them came in. All three looked dirty and exhausted as Jim turned around to look at them. Instantly a look of concern sprang on his face and he clambered over the couch to help them.
"Oh god, look at you three! Didn't you get this young lady to a hospital?" Jim knew that he shouldn't really know this girl's name, and only learnt it through the clone.
"No, we were too far away. God, Jim, i am shattered!" Sharon said and collapsed on the sofa and began to stare into the flashing colours of the TV. The other two looked equally tired and broken.
"I ran a bath upstairs if anyone..." Lisa had beaten the other two to it and the bathroom door slammed and locked shut. Jim smirked out of the sight of Sharon and Melissa. Soon it would be complete.
------------------------------------------------------
Lisa melted into the bubbles as her grubby body slipped into the water. It was so warm and relaxing. She grabbed the scrubber and covered it with liquid soap, and started to rub the mud and dust off her skin. The scrubber felt so good compared to what the day had brought her in it's sack, and as the bubbles fizzed and popped around her, her eyes slowly began to close and she succumbed to the warmth of the tub.
She was only woken by a frothing at the other end of the bath. Had she pulled out the plug whilst she was dozing? When she realized the water was going down, she reached to the other end of the bath to look at what the problem was. The bubbles had gone and the water was a funny greenish colour. She let out a loud screm when she saw that the skin was coming off her hand!
------------------------------------------------
Downstairs, only Jim seemed to hear the scream from upstairs as he made three cups of cocoa in the kitchen. He smiled, then opened the door into the sitting room, to be deafened by the blaring sounds of the TV.
------------------------------------------------
Lisa writhed and struggled in the bath, and eventually managed to pull herself out. But at a cost. The acidic effect of the bath had left her body very degraded, and muscle was beginning to show through the huge tears in her skin. The final sight that Lisa saw, was her right eyeball falling out of it's socket and rolling across the white bathroom tiles before her face disintegrated into nothingness...
A huge splash of water and a large gasp of air was inhaled as the clone of Lisa came out of the water and took it's first breath. Had she dozed off while she bathed? She turned and looked at the tiled floor.
Hmm...the floor was wet, had she gotten out and gone walkies while she slept? Getting out, she grabbed the towel from the rail and dried herself off before wiping the residue off the floor. Suddenly, her eyes rolled back into her head, and she turned to the windowsill. Grabbing an egg-shaped pod from the plant on the ledge, she emptied out the water in the bath and placed the pod in the tub, before beginning to fill up the bath again...Now to continue the conquest.
------------------------------------------
Jim heard the bathroom door open, and smiled to himself. Lisa came down the stairs, dressing down on, and a towel around her head.
"Mmmm...that was a great bath,...Jim, thanks a lot. Sharon, i began another one for you, if you want."
