Centipede Queen WIP

dream: this is probably loosely based off of the game Randy Fox was playing (set in 1920s america with lovecraftian dark magic, don’t know the name)

Starts out in an estate that used to be a  religious college (complete with a very large chapel, dormitory for students, and a separate dorms for staff and church ministries) but was converting to a more secular college. Most of the land was kept in tact, nothing would change because of historical and religious importance, aside from the set up of the dorms (modernizing and better circulation/ventilation).

During the night hours, the buidling would be locked up and inhabitants were advised not to wander around at night (it’s dark, there were lots of tunnels, people could get lost and hurt etc). During the second or third week, nosy students go to a restricted park of one of the buildings and break something.
Bugs start spawning in places they weren’t before– poisonous spiders, red and black centipedes, roaches, biting flies etc gross stuff– water starts running murky or smelling funny, certain buildings loose power for hours at a time.
A  new batch of transfers, coming in for the second or third semester, get bedded in one of the nonconverted buildings. The beds are canopy styled with thick, musky smelling fabrics. The wing was twenty degrees colder than the rest of the building, it was the only way to keep warm at night.

(let’s call the main protag Kerena)She starts having nightmares about dark, moist places and wakes up from them more times than not during the week. A friend of hers gives her something for sleeping and the day that follows was a full night’s sleep. Kerena awakens to find she has been transformed into a monster.

Six arms, and everything below the waist is a giant thirty foot look centipede body. Black/brown segmented body  with sharp red-orange legs. She vomits at the sight of herself. From that poinnt on terrifying things that happening on campus. More students are hurt in accidents, staff are fleeing or disappearing, food or drink are making people sick (if it’s served from the school or packaged from family, didn’t matter).

Keri’s transformation keeps her secluded to her wing (most of the students have left, but she can’t leave in her status) and her friends are the only ones that are allow to see her. During an exploration of the basement, a series of tunnels are discovered.

Certain staff havent left and someone finds out about of Keri’s, and seem a little too interested in her new form. Through some physical persuasion, it’s found out that students haven’t actually left.

They’ve been sacrificed left and right, to a dark entity caged beneath the church. There are even other people transformed into monsters like Keri, some of them killing themselves in a bloodhazed madness, or from knowing too much.

Delarent'e.

“We will see the dawning of a new era, serving under the great God Delarent'e. And you, Dear Kerena, will usher in his children. Clutches of thousands, maybe millions of his spawn that we will serve happily with flesh and blood.”

“….I didn’t agree to any of this shit. I JUST WANTED MY VETERINARY DEGREE. GODDAMN." 

The gate was smashed, the demons were destroyed, and Kerena and friends were turned back into their normal human selves. They could never erase what they know, but there’s not much else they could do.
Kerena changed degrees midyear and transferred to Arizona.
