Kat lay in her bed, staring at the dark ceiling as her hands caressed her slightly swollen middle as her mind raced. Her stomach seemed to deflate slowly as her body digested the meal. Or maybe it really was just bloating caused from something she ate and whatever had caused it was passing through her system. Kat hoped it was the latter, though she feared it was the former.
Kat didn't know how long she lay in her bed until sleep overtook her, but when she opened her eyes, she found herself in a beautiful clearing surrounded by trees. The air was fresh, with a slightly sweet smell to it that almost reminded her of a bakery. The sound of a creek nearby created a gentle susurration that resonated in the otherwise quiet clearing, as a small stream wound its way through the forest. Above her, the bright blue sky was scattered with fluffy white clouds as the sun beat down from high above.
"Hello Kat, thank you for coming."
Kat gasped as she turned around, her face becoming warm as she saw a beautiful, obese woman with a bright smile standing a few feet away from her. The woman was wearing a simple dress that fluttered gently in the breeze as a bright sun shined down on her. Long, black hair cascaded down her shoulders, somehow not being affected by the lack of wind. The beautiful woman smiled at Kat's reactions, gently placing a hand on her shoulder.
"Yondela."
The words slipped from Kat's mouth like a whispered prayer, and the obese woman smiled pleasantly in reply.
"Where am I?"
Yondela smiled again, gesturing to a small rock that looked about the perfect height for Kat to sit on. Hesitantly, Kat stepped across the warm grass as it tickled her bare feet and lowered herself onto the stone.
"You are in my realm. This is where I live and where I exist. It is here that I can strengthen our bond and extend my influence in your world."
"Strengthen our bond?"
Yondela smiled again and produced a large chocolate cake, moving closer to Kat. Kat tried to rise, to move away, and yet her body didn't respond. Instead, she obediently opened her mouth, letting Yondela shove a piece of cake into her waiting maw. Kat didn't even realize she was doing so until her mouth was full, and she had to swallow in order to say something.
"Mmm, delicious," Kat said through a mouthful of cake.
Yondela smiled and placed a hand on Kat's shoulder. "I am the goddess of bounty, and I have chosen you as my avatar. That means that you are my conduit into your world. With you, I can extend my influence across the entire earth. However, earlier you expressed some unease at accepting my gift, and I have decided to mold your body to strengthen my bond with your world."
"Mold my body?" Kat asked with a mouthful of cake.
"Yes Kat. The larger your body swells, the stronger my connection to your world. However, I have little power over your world and could not guarantee that you would willingly fatten yourself up. That is why I have brought you to my realm, where I can feed you with the abundance of sweets at my disposal. While I cannot make your body fatter directly, I can feed you enough that any action you take in your world will not be enough to stop yourself from becoming fatter. You can go about your life as you choose and every time you sleep, I will bring you here and feed you until I am satisfied. Every time you sleep, I will ensure you eat enough food that weight gain will be inevitable. Even if you exercise, every day your belly will expand, and you will grow fatter and fatter, never reaching a point where your body stops expanding, and the fatter you become, the more I will influence your gain in your world."
Kat wanted to stop eating the cake, and yet she couldn't. Kat knew that every bite would slowly contribute to her waistline as the fattening sweet was digested by her body, yet she opened her mouth obediently, letting the goddess feed her.
Yondela reached out to take a second slice of cake from the plate, which sat on the ground as the two sat on the rock. Kat felt her heart beat as Yondela slid the slice of cake into Kat's wide open mouth, smiling as she fed the girl. Kat panted as Yondela fed her with large slices of cake, shoving it into Kat's eager mouth. With each bite, Kat felt more and more full, and yet she could not resist the food as Yondela offered it to her.
"That's enough for today," Yondela said, moving back, Kat's belly bulging after she swallowed the last of the sweet confection. Kat stood up, but her legs felt weak, and she plopped back down on the rock with a grunt. Yondela smiled and stood up. "That is just the beginning, my new avatar. May this prove to be a long and bountiful reign as your body swells with my gifts."
Kat's eyes bolted open as morning light illuminated her room, casting an almost otherworldly glow across her possessions. Kat bolted upright with a gasp, reaching for her stomach, feeling it lurch slightly as she sat up, her skin tingling as she looked over at the clock. It wasn't even 7 am, but it was close enough that going back to sleep wasn't really plausible. Besides, if she fell back asleep, who knew what kind of food she would eat in her dream... Just the thought of her dream brought bloating to her mind, and she shook her head to clear it.
Did that really happen? She asked herself, doing her best to convince herself that it hadn't.
She lay back down with a sigh, laying her hands on her stomach, feeling how tight and bloated her belly felt, just as it had in Yondela's realm. "No," she whispered, "this is not how I want to live. I refuse to become fat."
Kat pulled herself out of bed and walked to her dresser, examining herself in the mirror that sat atop it. She had expected to find a chubby sixteen-year-old girl with an enormous belly in the reflection, but saw a lean girl with toned body and a hardly noticeable bloat to her belly and an immaculate complexion.
Kat bit her lip, turning this way and that as she tried to find any hint of weight gain on her body. Rather than finding the belly that should have come from eating an entire cake, she saw perfectly toned arms, a nearly flat stomach, and legs that seemed to go on forever. Even her petite chest seemed smooth and without flaw, and Kat shook her head with a slight chuckle.
"Maybe Nathan was right. I'm probably just overreacting. There's no such thing as gods or goddesses, and there definitely isn't a goddess trying to make me fatter."
The words sounded strangely comforting as Kat whispered them to herself while breathing a sigh of relief. Then she blinked, noticing the dark circles beneath her eyes and grumbled to herself about how she needed more sleep, and shouldn't have stayed up half the night worrying about something that obviously wasn't real. If she didn't have to get ready for school, she'd crawl right back in bed and sleep for another few hours, but the dream had left her with a strange sense of urgency that made her leap into showering and getting dressed, and by the time she was walking out the door with a single slice of toast for breakfast, her fears that the dream were real were completely forgotten.
As Kat walked to school, she smiled and thought that the wind felt especially nice this morning. It seemed like it was coming in from all sides and was blowing through her hair like a gentle caress. She put her hands over her head and ran through the brisk air, feeling herself shake with laughter as she made crazy shapes in the air with her body. The leaves were still everywhere from when they had fallen during the previous week's storm, but now they just looked like colorful rugs beneath her feet.
The trees lining her route were showing off different colors as well, beaming in ways that almost seemed unreal, even though it had been happening for weeks now. Everything just seemed perfect in Kat's life as she laughed and giggled the entire way to school as she let go of her inhibitions and her worries for once.
As Kat walked into the school building, she felt her stomach growl loudly in response to the smell of freshly cooked oatmeal.
"That actually sounds kind of good," she whispered to herself as her eyes lit up with hunger. Kat licked her lips, and slipped her phone out of her pocket, glancing at the time.
"If I hurry, I could have some before class."
