Freak Island

A few miles from the French Mediterranean coast, is located a small island with
beautiful beaches and a steeped rocky peak in the center. This small paradise of barely
some square miles of extension was just some years ago, a private state owned by rich
noble family.

Due the increasing number of ‘special’ births, the French government, along with other
neighbour nations, approved the petition of a group of less than a hundred women of
transforming this non permanent inhabited place into their home.

In just a couple of years, the island became a prosperous place. Not only a busy little
town populated completely by mutant women, but a tourist getaway. The island was
renamed Myth Island.

One afternoon, Thalassa steps out from her home. The woman has five breasts on her
torso. She has dark short hair which covers her forehead. Barely below her hair, can be
seen that Thalassa doesn’t have eyes at all, but she guides herself using a system similar
to dolphins.

She is carrying a small black case and pushing a cradle as she heads downtown. Along
the way, she crosses with a couple of tourists. The young American accent couple asks
directions to Thalassa.

As the eyeless woman instructs the tourists, they stare at the woman. “Look honey! She
has no eyes at all! Wow, that’s incredible!”

Thalassa blushes in shame and lowers her head as the man replies. “Yep sweetie, that’s
what I heard about this place, it’s like a huge freak show, a freak island. It’s kindda
scary.”

Then a baby babbling is heard inside the cradle. The woman leans toward the cradle and
observes a small creature moving under the covers. “Oh it’s that a baby? How cute! I
thought only adult mutants lived in this island. Cuchi-Cuchi Cuu!”

“Err… You are wrong ma’am…” Thalassa tried to warn her.

The newlywed couple lean forward and uncovers the small being. It’s a mutant woman
composed only for a head with a pair of huge breasts. Her sex is located in the middle of
her breasts. The tourists look at her perplexed.

“Guguu DADAA! HAHAHAHA!” The woman shouts while making faces. “It’s Myth
Island, you damn Yankees!”

The tourists run away scared. Inside the cradle, is heard the laughing of the small
mutant. Thalassa then turns to her and says seriously. “You are incorrigible, April.”

“Oh come on Thala… Just because they are tourists that doesn’t mean they have the
right to be offensive with you. If they really want a freak show, they should get a big
mirror first.” April stated upset.

Thalassa remains quiet and starts pushing the cradle. Later on, she asks April. “So
these ‘mirrors’ copy what is in front of them? Like if I stand there, there will be two of
me?”

“Here we go again…” April sighs as she tries explaining again what a mirror is to her
while they head to town.

Later on, the women arrive to a small café in downtown. They enter the place
and the owners welcome them. The owners are a couple of conjoined women.

Their names are Carmen and Kathleen. Carmen, the burnet head looks serious and
smart. On the other hand, Kathleen, the blond head, behaves childish and playful with
the guests.

“Hello Thalassa and April, how are you doing today?” The burnet head says.

“We are fine thank you.” April responds inside the cradle.

“I see its noisy today.” Thalassa adds.

“There’s always noise here at O’Kana’s Café, especially on Friday afternoons, right Mr.
Puppy?” The blond conjoined head says while looking at a socket puppet in her hand.

“Yes, Miss Kathleen. You are right as always.” She says with a childish voice.

“Why thank you, Mr. Puppy, you as polite as always.” The woman answers herself.

“And you so educated. Not like that witch you share your body with.” Kathleen says
again speaking for the puppet.

“I think you better start, Thalassa while I stuff Kathleen’s mouth with Mr. Stinky
Sock!” The burnet says upset.

“Don’t worry Mr. Puppy, Carmen is just teasing.” Kathleen tells the puppet while
Carmen is surrounded by an evil aura.

Thalassa leaves April above a stool with the conjoined women. She takes her black case
with her and heads to a small stage at the other side of the café. Then the O’Kana sisters
get a microphone upfront April and lower it for her.

“Testing… Hello everyone! Welcome to O’Kana’s café!” April tells the crowded
establishment as it gets quiet. “We are proud to present our musical show staring our
virtuous violinist. Please everyone; let’s give a big welcome to Miss Thalassa!”

Getting from her case, Thalassa pulls out a violin. The woman starts playing it like a
professional artist. At the other side, April starts moving rhythmically and says to the
microphone. “And now, I’ll sing a song for all you. Oh my…”

April pauses and looks at the mic. She turns to the O’Kana’s sisters and discovers
Kathleen is holding on her puppet’s mouth, the unplugged cable and waves it to her.
Angry, April sticks her tongue out at the owners as Thalassa’s melody goes on.

At a corner in the café, two men in suits and dark glasses listen to the show. Sally, the
waitress, brings the men their order. The mutant teenager, which has a hand for body,
places on the table two coffees she brought on her wheeled tray. The men thank Sally and start talking to each other as they observe the talented mutant.

The next day, Thalassa and April go back to the café. As they head there, a three legged
woman stops aside of them. She wears sport cloths and has a headband and listens to
music in her headphones.

“Hello Lorelei!” April tells her. Practicing again?”

“Yep, I have my Tae Kwan Do class in fifteen minutes so I’m warming up.” Lorelei
responded while jogging in the same space. “You should both come someday.”

“We might, Lorelei.” Thalassa replies.

“I would, but I don’t like that.” April adds. “I’m not good at punching and kicking.”

“Err… Sorry, I… did it again.” Lorelei says rubbing the back of her head.

“No problem, Lori. I know you meant no harm.” April tells the three legged woman.

“Anyway, have to run to my class.” The active mutant woman says as she leaves.

“Bye and don’t forget picking up Sally tonight!” April says to her.

“I will... won’t… bye!” Lorelei shouts while leaving.

“She is not very intelligent, but she is a great person” April tells Thalassa smiling as
Lorelei runs away.

Later, they arrive to the café. At the door the O’kana’s sisters take them to the kitchen at
the back. Surprised, they look at them while Carmen excited tells them. “We want you
to meet someone.”

At the backroom are the two men who were sitting at the bar. One of them was about
fifty years old and had clear skin and grey hair. The other had tanned skin dark hair and
beard and was about thirty years old.

“Good afternoon Miss Thalassa. I’m Dr. Mazzini and this is my partner Mr. Mustafa.
We heard your music yesterday and I must admit it Mr. Mustafa was right. It was worth
the trip all the way from Sicily to listen to your music.” The Italian accent man told her.

“Dr. Mazzini wants to hire us to serve and entertain at his party on board his yacht next
week!” Kathleen says excited.

“That’s right lady, I want to hire all you for my wife’s surprise party. I will pay good
money for your services. You are a talented musician and your drinks are excellent.”
Dr. Mazzini informs the eyeless woman.

With a smile, Thalassa listens to the rich doctor proposal. Then the Doctor’s partner
adds with an Arab accent. “All your trip expenses will be covered by me.”

Thalassa stops smiling for a second and remains thoughtful as the Doctor finish
telling them his offer. Carmen then turns to the eyeless musician. “What do you think, Thalassa?”

“I… I don’t know… I think you shouldn’t leave your café all alone.” Thalassa replies
doubtful.”

“What?! Didn’t you listen what the man said? This is a great opportunity for everyone.
You are going to make more money in a single night than what you are paid here in two
months!” Carmen desperate tells Thalassa while shaking her forcefully.

“I’ll pay you double.” Mr. Mustafa says quickly. “I’ll pay you half right now.”

“I don’t think we should go.” Thalassa adds unsurprised.

“Heh, my friend here likes to joke… right Thalassa?” Carmen replies laughing
hysterically and then takes Thalassa away. “Are you insane?!”

“Mr. Puppy and I are going to place you in the oven if you ruin this chance.” Kathleen
adds showing a demoniac smile and talking softly.

Cold sweating, Thalassa finally nods. Quickly the O’Kana sisters shake hands with the
Doctor. The women receive a check from the Arab man. Then the café owners push
Thalassa and April outside the room and lock the door.

“Is there something wrong, Thala? You seem disturbed.” April asks.

“The Doctor sounded like a good honest person, but his partner sounded very
disturbing, like he is hiding something.” Thalassa says worried.

“Well, you heard the Doctor, he is his partner. Maybe he is a corrupt or cold blooded
businessman. If it was that bad, wouldn’t you hear anything wrong with the Doctor
too?” April responded calmed.

“I guess…” Thalassa replied pondering about April’s words.

At that moment, the door of the backroom opens. The O’Kana sisters come out laughing
with the Doctor. Behind them is Mustafa following them.

“Well, we have settled everything. Remember, This Wednesday, at six pm, at Dr.
Mazzini’s yacht pier 15. Got it?” Carmen tells Thalassa and April all excited.

“We’ll be waiting for you, Miss Thalassa.” Mr. Mustafa says to her while extending two
close envelopes to her.

Thalassa gulps as she hears again the Doctor’s partner. The foreigners exit the
establishment while the eyeless woman remains thoughtful.

The next day, we find Sally at the back of the café in a small dark room. The hand girl
is spraying water over a peculiar plant while a radio played soft music. The mutant plant
moves slightly and rhythmically with the eyes close.

The plant has a human head and its hair seems to be composed of leaves. She has two
orange size fruits on the stem bellow the head. Aside of the plant are another two pots with small normal plants.

“Hold still Fleur. I’m almost done washing your leaves.” Sally tells the plant.

“I like the song and my pals here too” Fleur says while looking at the two pots aside of
her.

At that moment, the O’Kana sisters enter the room. Bellow on the floor is another
mutant. She has snake body and a human head. The snake woman has waitress
headpiece similar to Sally’s.

“What do you want here?” Fleur asks in fear. “Don’t take my fruits!”

“Sally, go outside and take care of the costumers.” Carmen says to her. “We need a lot
of juice for this Wednesday party.”

“Come on guys, can’t you see she is already scared.” Sally replies protecting the plant
woman.

“Now Sally! Go out side.” The snake body waitress orders her.

Sally sadly walks out while Fleur shouts. “Please Sally don’t leave me with Fee. She is
a butcher!”

The screams continue as Sally exits the room. Then the conjoined owners and the snake
body waitress exit the room. “Remember Fee to comeback for another pair every hour.”

Two days later, Sally is at Lorelei’s apartment. The hand body girl is on the floor of her
friend’s room. She has two inch long nails. With difficult, Sally walks on the shiny red
plastic nails.

“Are you sure about this, Sally? Maybe you should take off that manicure. You are not
used to walk on long nails.” Lorelei tells her as she observes all the trouble Sally has
using them.

“No… I must master them… Tomorrow’s party… is very… important.” Sally states as
she continues practicing.

At that moment, someone rings the front door bell. Lorelei exits the room and opens
the door. It’s Thallasa. “Hello Lorelei. Is Sally here?”

“Hi Thalassa… Err…Yes she is in my room. Why you ask?” Lorelei asks them while
Sally walks out the door of Lorelei’s room.

“Who is it?” Sally asks heading slowly to the front door.

“Good evening, Sally.” Thalassa tells her. “We need to talk…”

The next day in the afternoon, at the Doctor’s yacht, the boat crew prepares everything
for tonight’s party. At the center of the deck, the O’kana sisters supervise everything for
the event.

“This is going to be great, Mr. Puppy! Our business is now known internationally.”
Kathleen tells the sock puppet wearing a tuxedo bow.

“Yes this is good for everyone!” The puppet replies.

Carmen, trying ignoring her sister, observes a couple of workers moving careless a
twenty gallon container. “Hey! Be careful with that!”

“No need to hush. It’s just juice.” One of the workers tells the conjoined women.

The sisters run to the men after they almost drop the large bottle. Carmen upset tells the
men. “That’s our special recipe juice and one of the reasons Dr. Mazzini hired us. You
are holding in your hands enough motives to get fired immediately by your boss!”

As the workers gulp cold sweating, Carmen looks over their shoulders. At the
background she recognizes Thalassa and April which just arrived. The conjoined
women approach their friends.

“Hello guys! We were waiting for you for half hour!” Carmen states relived.

“Sorry for being tardy, but we had things to do first.” April responds.

“Now we are only missing Sally. She better have a good excuse.” Cathleen states while
talking as the puppet.

“I almost forgot. Sally is not going to come. She call sick.” Thalassa tells Sally’s boss.

“Great, just what we needed.” Carmen sighs and then turns to the tables at her right
side. “Hey Fee! Sally is not going to come. You are going to serve the food by
yourself!”

“WHAT! No way!” The snake body woman stated surprised.

“Err... Is there a place were we can change cloths?” Thalassa asks.

“Oh yeah, let me take you to your room.” Carmen states as she heads to the stairs down.

At 8 pm. The guests start arriving. It was a small party for about fifty people. Among
Dr. Mazzini’s relative and close friends, also went to the party the Myth Island’s mayor
and other local figures.

“Damn you Sally!” Fee exclaims while working like crazy getting everything ready for
the guests.

Down at their room, Thalassa and April get ready for the show. Thalassa is wearing a
beautiful night dress and April also, but in a shorter red version. Thalassa picks up April
and her violin case, then exit their room, but they found Mr. Mustafa outside.

“Good evening ladies.” The Arab man tells them. “Have a minute?”

“Oh! Hello Mister Mustafa, I’m sorry but we are late for the party. If you excuse us…”
Thalassa tells the man.

“Sorry, but I must insist.” Mr. Mustafa replies while sneering.

The Arab man pulls out a gun from his pocket. April gulps as soon as she sees the
firearm. Thalassa stays still lowering her head.

“You are pointing at us with a gun, Mr. Mustafa?” Thalassa asks.

“That’s right, eyeless girl.” Mr. Mustafa answers. “Now, go back inside your room in
silence.”

Inside the room, Dr. Mazzini’s partner locks the door while both mutant women sit on
the bed. April then asks the man. “What do you and the Doctor want from us?”

“Heh, the doctor is too good for his own good. I’ve been manipulating him for just a
week and I’m already his partner.” The man tells the girls. “I needed him to go back to
Egypt without passing through customs.”

The man pulls from his vest a photograph of an ancient rock with ancient symbols
showing a familiar drawing. “Since most of the world’s monsters are here now in this
island, I want you to take me to the plant girl.”

April looks at the photograph. The drawing looks similar to Fleur. Bellow the drawing,
are some hieroglyphics. Then Thalassa tells the man. “Sorry I can’t read it. I only guide
myself by sound echo.”

“Don’t play fool with me, Miss!” Mr. Mustafa says upset. “My family had a plant like
that a century ago in Egypt. I had some of the juice your serve in the café a week ago.
When I combined it with a dried leaf we kept from our plant, I was cured from my
diabetes. I need the fresh salvia from the steam of your plant girl to create the Elixir of
the Pharaohs, The ancient potion of eternal youth!” Mustafa tells the women.

“You are insane?!” April shouts. “You want to kill Fleur just to be young again!”

“Fleur, huh?” Mr. Mustafa exclaims grinning at April. “You are going to take me to the
plant!”

“In your dreams, psycho!” April replies angry.

April jumps down the bed. She catapults herself bouncing with her breasts and hits the
man in the face. Mr. Mustafa falls back while discharging his weapon. The bullet passes
aside of Thalassa making a hole in the porthole.

Upstairs at the deck, Carmen and Kathleen wait impatient for the mutant artist. They
then hear the detonation and the boat crew goes into alert and the guests start panicking.

Bellow, April tells Thalassa. “Quick, escape and go for help!”

Unfortunately, the discharge made Thalassa’s ears ring. She couldn’t locate the door
or the aggressor. Her echo guiding was unusable. April watches the room locked door
unable to open it.

Mustafa recovers and stands up. He points the gun at Thalassa as he wipes the blood
from his nose. April observes this scared.

“No, wait!” April shouts at the man. “I’ll take you to Fleur. Just don’t hurt Thalassa!”

The Arab man grabs April and exits the room. Still disorientated, Thalassa is unaware
she is now alone in the room.

Mr. Mustafa runs toward the boat exit. The man is about to reach the way out when
something grasps his ankle. The Arab man trips as he feels a painful bite and the pistol
slides away from him. April realizes is her friend Sally using a headphone.

“Leave my friend alone.” Sally orders the man.

Mustafa releases April and tries to take Sally off his leg. Desperate, he pushes away the
hand body girl and tries to escape.

Before he walked two steps, he sees a pair of legs coming at his face. Lorelei kicks the
man directly on the face with two of her three legs. Mustafa finally falls knocked down.

“That’s my double kick, buster!” Lorelei shouts while raising two legs in the air and
then turns to her friends. “Are you Okay, April, Sally?”

“We are fine thank you.” Sally tells Lorelei after checking April was alright.

“What are you both doing here?” April asked surprised.

“Thalassa asked us to monitor her. She is using a microphone and we heard this
crook was kidnapping you. So we came to help.” Sally explains and the grabs her
headphone. “Hello Thalassa, we got Mustafa. The police just arrived here.”

The man is arrested quickly and taken away. Later on, Thalassa explains everything to
her friends. “I knew something was wrong with this man so I went with Sally and using
her PC, we found out he is a smuggler from Cairo. So we contact the French police
yesterday and they helped us trapping him. We just needed first some evidence.”

“Why you didn’t tell us all this, Thalassa?” Kathleen asks.

“You were too excited with the party. Besides, I wasn’t sure what he was planning.
I didn’t want to worry anyone, so I just take some precautions.” Thalassa responds.

“Well crime or not crime, we still have a party to take care of. That also goes for you
Sally!” Carmen tells the group.

“Yes, or you won’t get paid.” Cathleen says using her puppet.

“Yes ma’am.” Thalassa, April and Sally answer at the same time.

For an hour, the group entertained the guests while the police investigated downstairs.
The doctor’s wife was fascinated with the exquisite music of Thalassa. April served as
the party animator and Sally helped Fee serving the famous O’Kana juice to the tables.

“HELP! Something’s wrong with the doctor!” A man comes out from the kitchen
shouting.

The group rushes to the kitchen and finds Dr. Mazzini lying on the floor. Aside of him
is the twenty gallon bottle half empty. The doctor now has three faces, one at each side
of her head.

“Help me, please…” The man asks terrified talking with his three mouths.

“Oh man, not again!” Carmen exclaims while covering her face with her palm. “That’s
what happens when you drink more than a liter of our juice. People have temporary
mutations!”

“Can you reverse this?” The doctor asks worried.

“Relax, in four hours you’ll be back to normal. Go to bed and tomorrow morning you
will be fine.” Carmen informs the Doctor.

The next day, Mr. Mustafa is taken to mainland by the police. While in custody, the
man smiles with his face lowered as they take him to jail.

“This is not over. I won’t surrender my elixir.” The man mumbles.
