September 11th

Ellie, I can honestly say that the Trinity Q are definitely a trio that both terrifies and surprises me yet have this brotherly bond that I wished I had with my brother. And after meeting them at dinner two nights ago, they made me feel like I could be one of them.

Freddie (the stricter twin) is known to be very dedicated to his schoolwork. His more rambunctious brother Fergus is  like a giant cuddly puppy that you can't seem to say no to. And Frank's the one to keep his brothers together and hold everything down. And together, they bring off this kind of vibe that pulls me into their world. It's little wonder that I kind of felt more at ease over dinner. Much to my surprise, it wasn't as bad as I originally thought it was, although I did have some suspicions about everything so far.

The conversations that I was swept into by the guys were flowing freely like water as I laughed at Fergus' jokes while Freddie helped me out with my homework and Frank's the one to keep the vibes at ease over the dinner. I kind of had fun, if I say so myself. So much so that I didn't even hesitate to allow the guys to be my designated mentors for the school semester.

I dunno, Ellie. Maybe it wouldn't be bad to stick around a bit longer than the Halloween deadline. Who knows? I might even make a few more friends. Anyway, the dinner came and went without a hitch and I'm now heading to bed earlier than planned since I'll be at tryouts for the swim team. Now THAT'S the one thing that I'm worried about. With all the guys looking like supermodels, I'm a bit self-conscious about my body. Maybe I better give Beau's planned diet and fitness regime a shot and even get some sun. I'll sign off for now and write more tomorrow.

Foreman Hall, the next day...

Ja'Marco couldn't believe what he was seeing in the mirror.

After waking up in his room from passing out, he was certain that something was going on. He remembered trying on the swimsuit that was gifted to him for winning his competitions for the team, certain that something had happened. And when he took stock of his newly-athletic body, Ja'Marco was certain that something had happened when he was unconscious.

He had somehow gained more bulk in his arms and legs while his abs and chest muscles were more defined and toned. His Olympian-esque figure was still leaner, but the slightly-bigger muscle mass made him more and more like a quarterback who was a talented swimmer. His skin color was also different, no longer the original dark-chocolate brown that he took after his mother but more of a caramel-toned complexion while his hair was finer and went from jet black to a dark brown. But the one thing that caught him off-guard were his sea-green eyes that were more brighter than before.

"Whoa," Ja'Marco breathed as he stared at this athletic frame in the mirror. "How the heck...how is this...what's going on?"

"All part of the Nexus and Mystique, Jay."

Ja'Marco's heart nearly flew out of his chest as he whirled around to see a naked Bradenton standing in front of the bathroom doorway, his hair slicked back as if he came out of the shower. "Brad, what's happening to me?" he asked, gesturing at this physique. "I mean, I didn't expect to..."

"Be more of a supermodel since coming here," Bradenton finished. "It's all part of the Triton Mystique, man. And from what I can tell, you coming here was long overdue. Those old friends of yours had kept you from unleashing your real self. And after last night's meet, I can honestly say that you were in need of a drastic change."

"But what does this all mean?"

Bradenton smirked as his sea-green eyes glowed in power. "It means that you're closer and closer to knowing the legacy of the family," he replied as he stepped forward towards his cousin. "But now, I think that it's only fair that you and I...lose ourselves."

Ja'Marco's eyes went wide in realization. "Y-you can't be serious," he breathed. "We're related and-"

Bradenton placed a finger on Ja'Marco's lips. "There's something you need to know about the Quitman men, bro," he said. "We're known to be quite sexually adventurous with each other. Hell, our dads are incestuous with each other and us. So it goes without saying that you're in a family that has strong desires with each other...and you."

Gentle reader, it shouldn't go without saying that Ja'Marco was definitely blown away with the revelation that dropped on him. And given that he was feeling more and more powerless by Bradenton's alluring gaze, he had to make a choice- nip whatever was going on between them in the bud...or allow himself to play the games of desire.

And once he dropped his green triangular swimsuit that revealed his prominent erection, his decision was made. "Just make sure that whatever happens between us and the other guys here...stays that way," Ja'Marco said. "No matter what, let's keep it in the closet."

"But of course," Bradenton replied as he pulled his cousin in for a hungry kiss. And just like that, Ja'Marco was soon playing the dangerous games in Glenview Valley Academy.

Meanwhile, at the natatorium...

"You're taking a giant risk, lass," Ferguson said to Dominique, the woman in question emerging out of the locker room in a form-fitting one-piece deep-green swimsuit as she held a set of swim goggles and a swimming cap in her hand. "And you do realize that by joining us, you cannot go back to your old life."

"I know," Dominique replied, sliding on the white swimming cap over her head (her hair in tight bun for the last time). "Melinda said the same thing to me this morning. I've already made the arrangements for everything and I'll soon be with the other male teachers."

"Then I would like to be the first to welcome you to our flock, Nassau," Ferguson replied. "I'll make sure that you'll have some fresh clothes at the ready after you take your swim."

"Thank you."

Dominique bit back a shudder, her skin prickling in anticipation as she felt her muscles tense and relax. She soon approached the starting block of the second-to-last lane before sliding on her goggles. No going back now, she told herself as she got into position.

"On your mark," Ferguson boomed. "Get set, go!"

Dominique dove into the water, the shock of the cold water wearing off quickly as she soon got into a steady pace. Grateful that she took up swimming back in high school and was on the varsity team, she switched to a front-crawl swim and lost herself in her own solo trials.

Once she reached the T and did the first push-off, she started to feel her breasts start to retract into a set of men's chest muscles that had a more lean and toned definition as estrogen gave way to testosterone that began to flow through her body. She fought a groan while continuing to swim, not letting the slight aches and pains in her lower stomach distract her.

The first lap completed after the second push-off, she felt her hair underneath her swim cap retract to a shorter hairstyle until it was now completely cropped. Her face soon transformed into a masculine form while his arms and legs soon had a bit of hair beginning to form.

So this is what it's like, Dominique mused to himself as he reached the third push-off. It's really...domineering yet so sensual all at once.

The next part of the transformation came when he felt a certain appendage between his legs begin to form while the white one-piece swimsuit melted away to a pair of white speedos that formed around his groin and buttocks.

"Almost done, lad! You got this!" he heard Ferguson's booming voice yelled from above.

Dominique's head began to throb as memories of being a middle-aged woman were swiftly being replaced by memories of being known as Dominic, the newest member of the faculty and the assistant coach for the diving team. He also remembered being Ja'Marco's godfather through his friendship with Francis and his brothers.

The final lap now finished, Dominic soon emerged out of the waters as his speedo changed from milk-white to a deep-green with a gold triton at the side. He ripped off his swimming cap and goggles and inhaled sharply, his body still tensing and relaxing with the final transformations still being recalibrated.

"How do you feel, Nassau?" Ferguson asked just as a speedo-clad Frederich came out of the locker room with a duffel bag in hand.

Dominic smiled widely, his brown eyes now changing to sea-green while his skin-color changed from a light-brown complexion to a darker color. "Damn," he said, his voice deep and melodic. "That was something else. I never felt so alive in my life."

"Welcome to the brotherhood, Dominic Nassau," Freddie remarked warmly as he handed the new acolyte the duffel bag. "Once my nephew sees the new you tomorrow, he'll soon see that there will be more acolytes that will join the fray."

"I'll bet he will," Dominic agreed. "I personally can't wait to see how those nobodies will react when I pay them a visit later today. Ro'Niah Adamson will definitely go into a cardiac arrest."

Ferguson grinned. "Now THAT I would love to see."

Unbeknownst to them, a slack-jawed Jeremiah Colby was watching from afar and taking in what he had seen and heard. And he knew, gentle reader, that there was something indeed going on in this town. Grateful that he made sure to record everything, he quietly snuck out of the natatorium before racing to his private office, locking the doors, and making a harried phone call. "Hello, is this the Adamson residence?" he breathed. "This is Jeremiah Colby. Listen, Mr. Adamson. What I'm about to send to you and your son is something that pertains to what Freeman, Yuen, and your relatives are afraid of. When you pick up the kids from school, have everyone meet up at Coral Bay Diner. We have a LOT to discuss. All right, thanks."

He hung up before sending the recorded video to the LA Calvary, the Freeman, Lancaster, and Yuen families. He then reached for the journal that Felicia gave to him two days before she and the Westons left town. "My grandson could be heading down the same path if he's not careful," he intoned. "I only wished that I was there with Ellie to keep you from becoming one of them. S.G., if you know ANYTHING that we should know, your journal can be that key."

Deciding to get back to work as the guidance counselor, he unlocked the door and opened it to welcome any student whom he would help. After all, gentle reader, he had a role to play and bills to pay.

Ooh, wee!

A LOT is going on as we speak: Dominique Nassau is now a man and a part of the brotherhood while Jeremiah is worried about Ja'Marco's future. And speaking of which, Ja'Marco's lost in the sensual games of dangerous desire! Things are going to get more complex and scandalous all at once!

Coming up next, the Adamson/Thade/Turner clan join the Freeman/Lancaster and Yuen families and Jeremiah for more journal entries and plans for another takedown while Ro'Niah and his clan are planning something more sinister. Don't go anywhere!
