Sibling Rivalry Shortcuts

 Sibling Rivalry Shortcuts

Helena Bonham Carter TG.

~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~

Obsession isn’t just a brand of perfume, it’s a word that goes hand in hand with fixation, addiction and other words of that ilk. Sometimes our obsessions can get the better of us and in numerous ways than one, William Haddingham was the younger brother of Stephanie and he was always pulling practical jokes and trying to tell her that she was wrong about everything, he couldn’t stand how much of a diva his sister was, how she ever got popular to begin was questionable even to him. ‘Why do guys even crush on you, sis? You’re kind of a bitch to them and not just because you’re a werewolf sometimes.’ ‘Because between me and that weird witchy Victoria I get more compliments.’ ‘But Victoria is nicer than you are. She actually cares about inner beauty.’ ‘I don’t care, I consider her to be competition.’

“If that’s how you feel about her…”

“Well yes...I feel that strongly about her trying to steal my spotlight.”

“You’re such a diva, one of these days you are going to get your comeuppance for that.”

Stephanie chuckled, as if she felt proud of being called a diva. She definitely was the queen bee around the group she was in and acted like it too, ordering around her assistants and keeping them in check, then again she was a werewolf and also the kind of werewolf that could snap someone’s spine in half if provoked enough. She let her long dark brown hair down as she chuckled at her brother, she never did take him seriously, due to his prankster persona and comedic nature. ‘That’s a good one but i’m not afraid in the slightest.’ ‘Oh but you will be, I’ll find a way to show you just how horrible you truly are to people sometimes.’

“Like how would you be able to do that?”

“Don’t question Victoria and her methods.”

William decided to head out to go and find a way to give his sister a taste of his own medicine, stepping on his motorcycle and sitting down on the seat as he started it up, revving the motorcycle up and heading downtown. Upon heading downtown he noticed a supernatural themed store and he decided to hurry over to the entrance of it.

The store definitely had a Tim Burtonesque vibe to it with a tropical tiki motif too, with various artifacts displayed in the window, naturally this inspired him as the doors opened up as shadowy creatures guided him. ‘Wow, they really went all out.’ Upon entering the store, he couldn’t believe his eyes, there were a bunch of monsters working around and even a few Tim Burton characters. Carefully he made his way over to the special display isle.

“I see you have an interest in these items.”

“Well yes I do.”

William nervously looked around and then he saw a spectral entity materialize in front of the desk, actually there were two spirit entities...one of them being Lisa Marie dressed in a dark queen ensemble and the other was the late Glenn Shadix. ‘These are unique items, they are supernaturally powered. All the better to wow over guests at the next gathering.’ ‘I’m looking for something to get back at my sister.’ ‘Ah yes, sibling rivalry….’ Glenn purred as he walked past William, examining him. ‘Yeah I cannot stand Stephanie. She may think that she’s a hot shot because she’s a supermodel and i’m not but she isn’t, she’s anything but one.’

“Ah yes, Miss Hadingham. The most fierce yet powerful and beautiful face to grace the screen.”

“So you know her?”

‘Oh yes...and that boyfriend of hers, Thomas Sheppard. Let’s just say that the work he does is unsurpassed.’ ‘Oh...well, yeah.’ ‘How did this shop pop up?’ William was curious, this shop had never been seen up until now and he was anxious to find out what exactly was this all about. ‘You should be careful with that curiosity of yours. You know what they say.’ ‘Yeah I know, but how? I don’t remember seeing you or this store here.’

“We just arrived in town last week. I follow the spring.”

“So…”

“I haven’t seen an autumn or winter in years. We are creatures of the spring, you and I.”

“I don’t know where I came or why…”

‘You are scared as hell..of yourself. You want to stand up to Stephanie but you can’t because you can’t find the courage to do so. You know that her werewolf powers mean she might end up crushing the next poor guy who comes along.’ ‘That’s true.’ ‘And of that sister you thought you once knew.’ ‘I beg your pardon?’.

“Listen to me, William. Listen closely.”

“Alright…”

“Please sit down, sit.”

“Okay…”

‘I am the one who understands. I am the one who knows Stephanie’s secret.’ ‘Can you help me?’ ‘I sure can.’ Glenn smirked and chuckled to himself as he pulled out an ankh from one of the displays and brought it over. ‘Is that a potion?’ ‘Yes..part of it. Try it and you’ll be ageless and more glamorous than she is and won’t have to be afraid of her anymore, don’t and well you know.’ ‘I want this very much.’

“I knew you’d make the right decision.”

“Huh?”

“Well naturally of course I did.”

Glenn administered the ankh’s contents and put them in a potion, injecting the ankh’s needle in William’s arm, which made his skin glisten. ‘There is of course the sordid topic of coin..’ ‘I’ve got you covered’, Willliam handed him some monster world coins and he gave him the potion in return…’ah thank you, bottoms up.’ William reached for the potion and drank it up, as he did he began to feel a sensation creeping up and down his arms as his skin smoothened and became paler than it usually was. His hands shrank in size as his fingernails lengthened, his arms lengthened as his chest and torso contorted, feminizing in the process while a pair of breasts developed on the former, he examined them as his stomach slimmed. In addition to this his outfit slowly altered into one that was essentially a dark queen outfit as his legs stretched and his hips flared out, his privates retracted as his feet dwindled down a couple of sizes and his back arched.

His shoulders shrank inward as his neckline altered and his hair darkened, turning to a darker shade of brown, becoming curlier than usual and becoming a bit messier as his eyebrows thinned and eyelashes blossomed around his eyes as dark eye-makeup was applied, in addition to this his nose shrank while his features softened and contorted, his cheekbones sharpened as his lips plumped up, his features slowly altering into those of a woman he knew. A woman he knew as Helena Bonham Carter as his voice altered, feminizing and becoming exactly like hers, developing an English accent in the process.

He kept a selection of his own memories and personality, but also gained a secondary persona that was that of a dangerous/dark dream woman, that woman being Helena. William or rather Helena purred as her transformation completed, she looked over at herself and admired her reflection for a bit. ‘Now Stephanie is going to be jealous for sure.’ ‘She sure is.’ ‘You turned out excellent, just look at you. Look at that lovely complexion of yours.’

“Thank you, thank you.”

“You’re most welcome, however there is one thing..”

“What?”

‘You must make me a promise. The secret that we share must never be found out, you may continue your adventures or whatever you’re doing for about 10 or 20 months or years or weeks, but if you reach the end of that and they find out, you must do something before become suspicious.’ ‘Really now?’ ‘Well you could hide out here with me and Lisa Marie, you could pretend that you’re deceased or have gone missing.’

“As long as I don’t have to actually die, right?”

‘Or as one of my clients famously said...I want to be alone, ja.’ ‘Greta?’ ‘Why yes.’ ‘Don’t you worry, i’ll keep this a secret.’ ‘You better, because if word ever gets out.’ ‘Don’t you worry I won’t tell anyone about this.’ Glenn looked over at Helena for a minute before holding her hand gently and smiling, with a look that said…’I trust you with all my heart.’ ‘Is there anything else?’ ‘Well there is one more thing…’ ‘What is that?’ ‘A warning of course.’

“Now a warning?”

“Yes..take care of yourself and make sure Stephanie doesn’t find out. Don’t tell anyone.”

“Don’t worry I won’t tell a single soul about this.”

‘That’s good. Now how do you enjoy your new look?’ ‘I love it.’ ‘Remember what I said.Take care of yourself and don’t tell a soul about this. It’s between us.’ ‘The secret is safe with me.’ ‘As it should be.’ Helena got up as she clicked her fingers and disappeared, leaving the store and heading down to the apartment where she lived with ‘Stephanie’. Once she got to Stephanie’s part of the apartment, she worked on a plan to get back at her, using Steph’s weaknesses and little curse to her advantage.

It wasn’t long until Stephanie did find out but luckily she never found out about the store or about Helena, and it wasn’t long until she got found out for her behavior. Thomas Sheppard, her athletic boyfriend attempted to defend her only to end up next on Lisa Marie’s list, as for what happened to Helena...she spent many weeks as who she was while still enjoying the things she loved before, it’s just the secondary persona that came out more often whenever Stephanie acted up. Lisa Marie and Glenn’s little supernatural store was never found out by Stephanie or any of the others but they did have to be extra careful. And thus here comes the moral, sibling rivalry can be more than a little wild at times but remember, you can always take shortcuts to avoid being at the receiving end of wrath from your siblings, just be careful.
