“That was so cool!” Sonja squealed.

“I can’t believe that actually worked,” said Elise.

“Now I kind of want to make one,” Lorraine added.

“No! We already have enough mouths to feed!” her sister barked.

I too was utterly stunned, unsure of what to do next. I tapped the girl on the shoulder so that she would stop hugging me. She sat up in my lap, keeping her hands on my shoulders.

“Can you tell me anything about yourself?” I asked.

The girl shook her head. She made a soft “uh-uh” sound when she did it, but it was just a hum.

“Maybe she doesn’t understand you,” Elise suggested.

“No, she answered the question. Maybe she’s simply a mute like Alex,” said Lorraine.

“Can you talk?” I asked. The girl again shook her head. “Damn, I was hoping for some answers this time. I guess now we-”

The girl covered my mouth with her own, her tongue already sliding down my throat.

“Whoa! Look at her go!” Lorraine said with a laugh.

I don’t know what was causing it, but her mouth tasted delicious beyond words, as good if not better than when I drank Betty’s milk straight from the tap. I was compelled to collect more of this flavor, sending my tongue swirling around her mouth. The longer we kissed, the more energetic we became, with the girl grinding against me like she was giving me a lap dance as I explored her slender body with my hands. She was even beginning to whimper in sexual bliss.

“Ok, that’s enough, you two!” said Elise, forcing her tail in between us to make us stop. “You, sit right there.” The girl did as told, sitting in the chair next to mine.

“Master, kiss me like that too!” Sonja whined.

“Sorry about that,” I said, “it was like her mouth was full of crystal meth.” I had calmed down, realizing now that my clothes were sticky from touching the girl.

“She’s surprisingly energetic for a salamander,” said Lorraine, “her personality seems way off from how it should be.”

“Yeah, Chloe was so skittish when I first found her. She didn’t react to me at all the way Momo and Sonja did.”

“Maybe it’s because she transformed differently,” Elise theorized. “This time you caused it on purpose, so maybe her newly developed brain instinctively recognizes you as her creator.”

“Is that true?” I asked the girl.

She smiled and this time nodded while humming “uh-huh”, then jumped back into my lap and started kissing my cheek. This time, Sonja refused to be left out and zoomed around the table to join in.

“Ok, so we’ve established that it can be done on command, now we just decide where to go. We could do the Maine Wildlife Park. I’ve been there before as a kid and it should work.”

“Nah, we should do something with more people and more animals, and preferably a little farther away. I say we should hit up the Bronx Zoo,” said Lorraine.

“Ok, you and I will request time off from work and then book a flight.”

“And in the meantime, what am I supposed to do? I think you’ve forgotten how screwed I am,” said Elise.

“Well… you can probably order groceries for delivery. If you’re expecting to meet anyone for business, just try and do it over the phone or postpone it until we come back and Lorraine can do it in your place. I was also thinking that everyone could stay here with you while Lorraine and I are gone. I know you could use the help and I don’t want to leave the girls alone back home. They’ll get lonely without someone to look after them.”

“Fine, but I’m short on beds. There is only my room and our parents’ old room that we use as a guest room, where Betty sleeps.”

“Hauling over our mattress will be a small price to pay to know my girls are taken care of. Thank you. Ok, I’d better get them home. I’ll call you both tonight.” Holding both the girl’s hand and Sonja’s, I headed outside. “Momo, Chloe, we’re going home!”

Momo and Chloe returned from the field, staring at the new girl with wide eyes.

“Master, who is this?” Momo asked.

“This is… Leah. Her name is Leah.”

Hearing her name for the first time, the salamander girl looked up at me with a wide grin and then wrapped her arms around my waist.

“Masteeeeeeer! Leah is getting Momo’s clothes sticky!”

Momo was leaning away from the salamander, who was sitting in the middle of the backseat. Hearing Momo’s whining left her with a mournful frown and drooping shoulders.

“I know, Momo, we’ll clean them when we get home. Please be nice to Leah.”

Now that I thought about it, maybe transforming a salamander had been a bad idea. For one thing, she was always covered with a thin mucus that kept her skin hydrated, but which seemed to lather onto anything she touched. That back seat was now in need of a good washing. We would need to get her clothed as soon as possible. There was also the issue of what exactly that slime was made of. Leah was black with big yellow spots, which in the animal kingdom, meant poisonous. We’d have to be very careful with her.

“Master, are you going to play with Leah too?” Chloe asked.

“Well that’s entirely up to her, but if she’s willing, I’ll make her happy.”

Leah suddenly perked right up and began wiggling in her seat, her face bright with a silent laughter. Was she reacting to what I said? It was obvious she understood English, but did she really understood what “play” meant in our home?

We arrived back at the house and Leah nervously climbed out of the car. I stood next to her, my hand resting on her smooth head. “This is your home now. You’re part of the family.” She smiled and nuzzled up against me.

We went inside and I gave her the grand tour, showing her each part of the house and explaining the different appliances. I then brought her upstairs to the bedroom to give her some clothes. Luckily, she and Chloe were the same size. From the bureau containing all the girls’ clothing, I first handed Leah a t-shirt and told her to put it on, though the moment she was covered, she started scratching at her skin with a pained look on her face.

“Ah damn,” I sighed. Her skin was too sensitive for the dry fabric. She needed something much softer and less absorbent, but I wasn’t sure I had anything like that. She could sense my disappointment and avoided my gaze in shame. I lifted her chin and kissed her on the lips. “No, no, it’s not your fault. It’s something we’ll figure out later. For now, we just need something temporary…”

An idea led me to the bathroom where I pulled down the shower curtain. It was smooth plastic, just what I needed. I returned to Leah and wrapped it around her, connecting the curtain rings around her neck and letting hang down behind her like a cape. She looked at me in confusion.

“There, that ought to work. Until we come up with a clothing solution, just carry this around with you and use it as a cover for whatever you sit on, or wrap it around yourself like a blanket. Understand?” She smiled and nodded. “Good, then let’s join the girls.”

Back downstairs, Momo, Sonja, and Chloe had already stripped down to their natural naked selves, and seeing them without their clothes, I could sense Leah becoming much more relaxed. Momo, Sonja, and I took our seats on the couch, this time with Leah slipping in the edge next to Sonja and taking the armrest. Down below was Chloe, sitting on the floor with my legs wrapped around her.

“Master,” Momo asked over the sound of the TV, “have you and Lorraine decided on what you’re going to do?”

“We have, actually. She and I are going to go on a trip and turn a lot of animals into people so that the world can finally see what is happening.” The girls all turned to me, shocked and horrified.

“You’re going on a trip?!” they cried, save for Leah, who, well, you know.

Of course, that would be the one thing they cared about.

“Girls, it will just be for a few days at most. While I’m gone, you and the pillar men will be staying with Elise and helping her out on the farm. Trust me, you’ll love it. And if Lorraine and I do this right, it may be that you girls won’t have to hide anymore. We can get the help we need.”

As we watched TV, I looked up salamanders on my computer, trying to find clues on how to take care of Leah. It would be an understatement to say her physiology was different from Momo, Sonja, and Chloe’s. Since regular fabric wouldn’t work for her, she couldn’t even sleep in bed with us, but I think I had found a good alternative. I prepared dinner, now with a fourth bowl set on the floor. I got the sense that Leah preferred it that way. As usual, I watched them from the table, snickering at the sight of them all maintaining the same posture while they ate, faces buried in their food bowls. With her skin tone, Leah definitely stood out.

After dinner, we all went upstairs and entered the bathroom to brush our teeth. Leah and I sat down on the edge of the tub. “Leah, I think I figured out a good place for you to sleep. Would you be comfortable sleeping here in the bathtub if I filled it with wet towels?” She smiled and nodded.

“Wait, I wanted to sleep in bed with Leah!” Sonja whined.

“Sorry, sweetheart, but a dry bed isn’t a good place for her.”

I started filling up the tub with lukewarm water and towels, as per the advice I had read online. She couldn’t breathe underwater, but she needed to sleep in a nice damp environment and she needed something she could burrow into. Since I wasn’t about to fill up my bathtub with mud, wet towels would have to do.

As I got her bedding ready, she watched Momo, Sonja, and Chloe brush their teeth, hypnotized by their perfect movements. They had lived around each other long enough to take on the exact same pace when they brushed their teeth. With a spare toothbrush and some paste, I turned to Leah.

“Ok, open wide.” She showed me all her teeth and I began to brush them for her. “Starting tomorrow, you’ll be doing this yourself every morning and every evening, but for now, I’ll just show you how it’s done.”

She was definitely reacting to it, the pressure I was exerting on her teeth, the feel of the bristles on her soft gums and tongue. She squirmed from the alien sensation, never feeling something like this back when she was just an animal. She tried to lean back but I wrapped my arm around her. Her eyes were wet, her lips parted and white with foam. I must say, brushing the girls’ teeth for the first time is always fun.
