Description
The Amulet of Strength
By Morpheus

Amanda Barnes was 17 years old, and a very pretty brunette with her long tied back into a pony tail.  She had always felt rather proud of her hair, which she thought of as her best feature.  However, Amanda was a little less appreciative of the rest of her figure.  She stood 5 foot 5, though was less than pleased by her small breasts and tended to dislike any girl who's breasts were bigger than hers or received more attention.

At the moment, Amanda was frowning as she walked through an estate sale that she'd spied while walking home from school.  Everything had been scattered about on the front lawn, though you could even go into the house to see other things.  There were piles personal items and antiques for sale, though Amanda sneered at most of  them, thinking them little more than junk.

Though Amanda's first impression had been to just walk past the estate sale as she did nearly every other cheap yard sale, she suddenly remembered hearing a story on the news about some guy who'd bought a painting at one of those things for a few dollars and then discovered that it had really been worth millions.  In fact, she remembered hearing several similar stories of people finding hidden treasures in places like that and grinned greedily as she thought that she might even be next.

"Who can find anything in this junk," Amanda muttered to herself after she had been looking around for a little while.  "And who wants to buy someone's old clothes..."

She took a look around the bedroom, glancing at the price tags on the bed post and dresser.  Then she noticed something sticking out slightly underneath one of the dressers.  Amanda pulled it out and saw that it was a plain wooden box that looked as though it could have been a jewelry box, except that it didn't seem fancy enough to be.  There was even a small latch and lock holding it shut.

Amanda shook the box, hearing something rattling around inside.  She looked at speculatively for a moment, wondering if it really was a jewelry box, and if so, what kind of jewels might be hidden inside.  Then she quickly looked over it for a price tag but didn't see any.

"Perfect," Amanda mused to herself.

Maybe the people holding the sale hadn't even noticed it.  Whether they had or not, Amanda saw this as an opportunity.  She slipped the small box into a wicker basket with a $2 price tag and then left the sale, having gotten the extra box...and whatever was inside of it for free.

When Amanda got home she set the box down and stared at it, muttering, "I hope I didn't waste two bucks..."

Once Amanda had her dad's hammer from the garage, she took a good swing at the lock.  The first swing missed and put a small dent into the box.  She cursed, then tried again, this time hitting the lock and snapping it open.

Amanda gave a hopeful grin as she looked inside, only to let out a sigh of disappointment once she saw what it was.  The only things inside of the box were a slip of folded paper, and what looked like a jade necklace.  However, after a moment of consideration, Amanda wondered if the necklace might be worth at least a little bit.  It didn't look too fancy though so she suspected that it wouldn't be worth too much.  It was little more than a jade disk with strange symbols on it and a long chain.

After looking at the necklace for a minute, Amanda turned her attention to the paper.  It was a short note, but after reading it, she was sure that it was some kind of joke.

"The amulet of strength will offer great strength and power to whomsoever wears it upon the stroke of midnight."

"Yeah right," Amanda muttered, dropping the amulet and note both back into the box with a snort of disbelief.  "What a waste..."

--------------------

The high school lunchroom was busy, just as it was every day at that time.  It scarcely seemed that any table had further room for more students, though they never failed to provide seating when required.  Sitting at one of these tables, Becky Sawyer was talking to her best friend Chris.

Becky was 17 years old, though could have passed for a few years younger, much to her annoyance.  She was 5 foot 6, had shoulder length blonde hair and was frequently called cute, though she would have much rather have been called pretty.  However, she was resigned to it and had decided to take what she could get.

Chris was Becky's best friend, having been her neighbor for nearly as long as she could remember.  However, to her embarrassment, she had recently started to hope that he might become more than just her best friend, though she was afraid to mention this to him for fear of losing what they already had.

"You okay," Chris asked, distracting Becky from her thoughts, making her blush as it was about him that she had been thinking.

"Yeah, just fine," she told him.  "Just thinking about that history report we have to write..."

Chris just nodded sympathetically at that, "Doesn't sound like much fun..."

Once they were finished eating, Becky and Chris said good-bye to each other as they each had to get to their next period, and the classrooms were on opposite ends of the school.  Becky watched Chris walking off, letting out a sight as she did so.  He was so cute...and nice...   And she was afraid that he wouldn't like her like that.

Becky started down the hall, then paused as she saw Amanda sitting on the foot of the stairs, eating her own lunch and glaring at just about everyone who walked by.  At least those that she seemed to deem worth her notice.  But that was normal for Amanda.  As far as Becky could tell, the other girl had a huge chip on her shoulder and was always daring everyone to knock it off.

Just then, Becky saw another girl coming their way, or actually several girls.  The one in front of was Shawna Lewis, a hot looking blonde who was not only one of the prettiest girls in school, but also one of the most popular.  The other two pretty girls behind her were Debbie and Michelle, her loyal followers.  Or 'lackeys' as Becky thought of them.

"Get out of the way, loser," Shawna snapped at Amanda, "You're blocking the stairs..."

There was far more than enough room for all three girls to get past, even going up side by side.  However, this didn't matter to Shawna who didn't even need to go up them in the first place.  She was looking for amusement and had found her target.

"Fuck off," Amanda growled back.

"What the fuck?" Shawna gasped, grabbing at the slightly shorter girl and pushing her back.  Michelle and Debbie were both there, standing over Amanda, threatening her with their presence.

"You scrawny little bitch," Shawna spat out angrily, "Who the hell do you think you are?  You're nobody in this school..."

Becky grimaced, not able to take any more.  "Leave her alone," she demanded.

Suddenly, Shawna and her lackeys were looking at Becky instead, and Becky wasn't sure that this was much of an impression.  Especially since Shawna not only had several inches on her, but because she was outnumbered.

"You say something girlie?" Shawna demanded, glaring at Becky.

Just then, a teacher started moving up the stairs, providing just the break that Becky needed.  She let out a sigh of relief as Shawna and her lackeys glared at both her and Amanda before leaving.

A moment later, Amanda got up and spat, "Mind your own fucking business."  There was just as much venom in her voice as if Becky had actually been helping Shawna.

After Amanda had left, Becky shook her head and muttered, "What a day..."

--------------------

Later that night, Amanda was pacing back and forth in her bedroom, still pissed at the way she had been treated earlier that day.  She couldn't stand that stuck up bitch Shawna, or even that nosey Becky.  Who the hell did that girl think she was?

"Fuck them," Amanda growled furiously, "Fuck them both.  Fuck all of them..."

Then, her eyes settled on the box that she'd almost forgotten about over the last couple days.  Amanda frowned and opened it up, staring at the amulet and the little slip of paper.  As she glared at it, she couldn't help wishing that what the paper had said was real.  That she could get the power to teach those bitches a lesson just by putting that thing on.

Finally, Amanda decided that it wouldn't hurt to at least try it.  She stayed up late, keeping an eye on the clock and fingering the jade amulet.  And then, it was nearly midnight and she slowly slipped the amulet around her neck.

"Here goes nothing," Amanda snorted, hoping that it would work though refusing to admit that she could possibly believe in such nonsense.

Suddenly, the amulet started to glow with a pale green light, causing Amanda to gasp out in surprise.  But just a moment later, the glow seemed to spread out, covering not just the amulet...but her.  Amanda's whole body was covered with a faint green glow.

"No way," Amanda gasped as she felt a strange tingling beginning to wash over her body.

A moment later, the tingling turned into a pleasant warmth that seemed to slowly be filling her, warming her from the inside out.  Every one of her muscles felt warm...and as though it were being massaged from the inside out.  It was a strange, though almost pleasurable sensation.

"Is it working?" Amanda asked herself.  "I don't feel any stronger..."

However, almost as if on cue, the feeling of warmth changed, becoming something more.  Every fiber of Amanda's body suddenly felt...energized.  Alive.  She'd never felt anything quite like it before.

Just then, Amanda's muscles all seemed to go incredibly tense, then swell up.  She gasped as she could actually feel herself getting stronger.  She looked down at her arm, eyes going wide as she saw that it looked a bit firmer...more muscular.  This was happening over her entire body.

"YES," Amanda laughed, "It's working!"

Then Amanda realized that the changes were still happening.  Her body was continuing to get stronger...more muscular.  But that wasn't all.  Her clothes were starting to feel tight on her, almost painfully so.  She looked down and let out a gasp at the sight of two breasts pushing out against her shirt, at least two cup sizes larger than she had been.

"Oh yeah," Amanda grinned excitedly as she grabbed hold of her larger breasts, feeling them continuing to grow.

Amanda winced at the pinching from her clothes and started to undo her pants.   While she was doing so, she noticed that her pant lets were several inches higher than they should be.  But before she could get her pants all the way off, she heard a ripping sound, which was followed by a releasing of pressure around her top.  Her shirt had torn badly, and it looked like her pants were soon to follow so she scrambled to pull the too tight piece of clothing off even quicker.

As Amanda saw the way her socks were beginning to stretch around her feet, she thought that it was a good thing that she'd taken her shoes off some time earlier.  But a moment later, her socks began to stretch to the breaking point...and then beyond, leaving her standing there with only the tatters of clothing that she had been wearing remaining.

But still, Amanda continued to grow, if anything even more rapidly than before.  She gasped as everything seemed to be shrinking around her, then grinned in delight at the strange sense of power that was filling her very being.  Her whole body was swelling up with size and muscle, becoming much more shapely as well.

When it finally seemed to stop, Amanda remained motionless for a moment before looking down at herself  and gasping, "I'm...I'm HUGE!"  She stood there a moment longer her new 6 foot 10 glory, feeling in awe of how small everything looked around her.

Amanda gasped her now large and shapely breasts, then slowly ran her hands over her now rock hard body.  Every inch of her seemed ready to burst with muscle...muscle and power.  Her hands settled on her abs which had become a well defined six pack, then she continued to move them over the rest of her muscles.

"Oh my God," she grinned in delight, flexing a bicep and seeing a massive bulge appear.  "I can't believe how strong I feel..."  Amanda grinned, feeling as if she could do anything...  She'd never imagined that she could feel that bursting with energy.

On an impulse, Amanda leaned over, wrapping her arms around her dresser and lifting it off the ground with ease.  Normally she wouldn't even be able to budge it.  She set the dresser back down, feeling even more excited.

Amanda laughed in delight, then took off the necklace, sure that it was safe since the glowing had stopped when the changes had.  She was surprised to see that the amulet no longer looked like jade.  The green had faded away entirely, leaving it all a dull gray.  Since the amulet had already done what it was supposed to, she absently dropped it back into the box she'd taken it from, giving it no further thought.

Then Amanda suddenly realized what it was that she needed.  A mirror.  She hurried out of her bedroom, having to duck to avoid hitting her head.  The doorway seemed so small to her now, as did everything else.  That just made her grin even more broadly.

When Amanda looked at her reflection, she let out a gasp of amazement...and delight.  Her body was ripped with well defined muscle, yet at the same time managed to look even more feminine and sexy than ever before.  Her face seemed to have matured a little, and her hair had grown even longer, more lustrous.

"I'm a goddess...," Amanda gasped, then laughed, "I'm a fucking goddess...."  She flexed her muscles at that, loving the power that she felt within them.   She was even sure that she was now the strongest person in her school, even stronger than any of the football players.

However, Amanda still wanted to try her new strength out.  She ran outside, not even bothering to put any clothes on, knowing that nothing that she had would even fit her now.  But at the moment, she didn't care.  She had nothing to be ashamed of now.  NOTHING.

Once outside, Amanda went to her dad's car, staring at it for a moment with a smirk and deciding that this would be a good test.  She moved to the front of the car and braced herself, then started to lift.  Amanda had to grunt with a bit of effort at first, but the whole front end of the car lifted off the ground.  It was even easier than she would have thought.  The front wheels were nearly a foot above the pavement before she put it back down.

"Oh yeah," Amanda laughed loudly, no longer caring if anyone saw or heard her. "I am a GODDESS."

Amanda grinned triumphantly, knowing that the world was now hers.  No one could mess with her now, and once they saw her, they wouldn't even dare.  She could do anything she wanted and no one would be strong enough to stop her.

"Just wait till they see me at school tomorrow," Amanda grinned smugly as she looked down at herself, flexing her muscles again at the same time.

But after a moment, Amanda remembered her clothes, or lack of them.  Nothing that she owned would fit her now.  Her growth spurt had seen to that.  Not even her dad had anything that would fit her, which made her grin as she thought how he would react the fact that she now towered over him.

"I go shopping tomorrow," Amanda grinned to herself as she made plans, "And then the day after...  Wait till everyone at school sees the new me..."  She could hardly wait.

--------------------

When Amanda made her debut at school in her new body, she loved the way everyone stared at her...at the way they stared UP at her.  She was instantly the center of attention, with everyone quickly stepping out of her way.  And she was enjoying every moment of it.

Amanda smirked as she looked around at the other students, all of whom were so much smaller than her now.  They all seemed so...fragile.  Almost pitiful.

That just made Amanda think back on how her parents had reacted to her changes the day before.  She even laughed as she remembered the look on her dad's face...  And even harder on the look on his face when she'd forced him to realize that she was MUCH stronger than he was.  It was at that moment that she has become the defacto head of her home.

But just then, Amanda was snapped out of her thoughts by the sight of Jason Whitmore...the tallest...now second tallest person in school.  Where once he had almost seemed to be like a giant to her, now she dwarfed him by a full 6 inches.

"Hiya shorty," Amanda smirked as she put a hand on top of Jason's head, laughing at the look of shock on his face.

Jason gasped, staring up at her in shock, "What the...?  Who...?"

Amanda just grinned, announcing, "See ya later tiny," as she walked off with every eye nearby locked on her.

Of course, Amanda was bombarded with questions about what had happened...about how she had changed so drastically.  But she had been expecting those questions and had even come up with a story.  Amanda told her teachers...and everyone else that she had no idea how it had happened...that she had just woken up like that.  She wasn't sure that anyone really believed her, but no one dared to question her further on it to her face.

Throughout the day, Amanda quickly became sure that this was the best day in school that she'd ever had.  All of the boys were staring at her not just in awe, but in lust...desiring her much sexier and shapelier body than they ever had before.   Of course, everyone was MUCH more accommodating of her.  Everyone would move out of her way in the halls and the teachers were VERY nice to her, obviously intimidated by her massive new size.  And she loved it.

"I'm finally getting treated the way I should," Amanda smugly told herself several times.

However, there were several problems for her during the day as well due to her new stature.  She bumped her head several times entering classrooms, and her seats and desks in every class were now far too small.  Fortunately, there were larger substitutes in the library, but even those proved to be barely adequate.

During lunch, Amanda quickly ate her lunch, as well as those of several other's since her appetite had increased along with her size.   Fortunately, there seemed no shortage of people who were willing to surrender their lunches with nothing more than a suggestion from her.

Then as Amanda started to leave the cafeteria, she nearly ran into Shawna and her two friends.  She looked down on the other girl, wondering how she could have ever felt threatened by something as small and pitiful as that.

"My God," Shawna grimaced as she looked up at Amanda, taking a step back, "What a freak..."

"What did you call me?" Amanda demanded.

"You're a freak," Shawna sneered, stepping back nervously, though still continuing to talk.  "Why don't you just go away and leave this school to normal people...?"

Amanda glared down at her, beginning to get angry.  She looked at Shawna's breasts, once the target of her envy though now nowhere near Amanda's size.  Then Amanda started to smile, and it wasn't a pleasant one.

"Look here pipsqueak," Amanda growled as she lifted Shawna off the ground with one hand, not even having to put forth any effort.  "You're going to stay out of my way if you know what's good for you..."

"You leave her alone you freak," Michelle called out.

"Yeah," Debbie added, obviously afraid, "put her down..."

"Gladly," Amanda laughed, then proceeded to dump Shawna head first into a garbage can, laughing at the other girl was screaming and struggling uselessly.

Debbie and Michelle both stared at Amanda in terror, and as soon as she took a step towards them, the girls ran off as fast as they could.  That just made Amanda laugh even more.

Suddenly, she looked at the gathering crowd and flexed one of her arms for them, loving the look of shock and amazement on their faces.  "Anyone else want to mess with me?"  When no one volunteered, she snorted, "Good...," and started towards her next class...which was to her delight PE.  It was a class that Amanda normally detested, though this time she couldn't wait to make that asshole teacher realize how weak and scrawny he was compared to her.

By the end of the day, Amanda had made herself the nearly undisputed queen of the school, and that was exactly the way that she liked it.
