"Come on Sam." Lara Croft panted tiredly, leaning against one of the many trees around her. The rain beat upon the canopy like a never ending drum, steady streams of stormwater dripping to the jungle floor below. Lara was drenched from the many times she'd trekked through open ground, her torn blue tank top clinging tightly to her toned and slender body. The beautiful British Brunette wasn't helped by also wearing a fairly skimpy strapless bra, leaving her graciously large bust highlighted and leaving her feeling less covered than she was. It also didn't help that her cargo pants had been so utterly ripped that they resembled mini shorts.
"I'm keeping up...you...hush..." A near exhausted Sam Nishimura dropped to her knees and tried to catch her breath. The pretty petite Japanese-Portugese girl was at her limit, her weariness unhelped by how utterly exposed her lack of clothing left her. She had been abruptly awoken when their ship the SS Endurance had capsided and couldn't fasten on her shirt and pants before being dunked into the water. By the time Lara found her, Sam was only garbed in a green g-string thong and a sleeveless vest with a broken zipper.
"Knew you could do it. Good girl." Lara joked, trying to keep their spirits up despite their hopeless situation. Neither girl was sure of what island they were on, only that they had no way of contacting the outside world. For all intents and purposes, the Western World may have given them up for dead. But Lara and Sam had survived a hopeless shipwreck before and they would do it again. They were currently tracking a trail of footprints and campsites to search for the other survivors. Together, they would all have a better chance of surviving this place until they could find a way off.
However, following this trail for weeks was draining the girls' hopes. They'd survived by eating edible fruits, stealing abandoned eggs and hunting any animal that they could with their limited tools of a pickax and a blow dart. It was also increasingly hard to follow the trail due to the week long rainstorm that was hitting the island, raising water levels in sporadic floods. Finding dry ground now was considered a rare feat as Sam and Lara had to get used to sleeping upright in chest-high water and waking up to find only their heads above water.
"Come on, lets keep moving." Lara urged Sam on, continuing their search through this unnamed jungle in search of the other survivors. As they walked, the rain remained unrelenting, softening the ground until they found themselves struggling through ankle deep silt. "We need higher ground. Sturdier ground, this won't work."
"What about those hills?" Sam asked, looking to a rocky hill nearby. "There might be a cave there we can use for shelter."
"It's worth a shot." Lara agreed and began to move towards the ridge in the distance. It was always in sight, but Lara became anxious when it felt as though they weren't getting any closer to it. Maybe the hills were much bigger and more distant than the girls initially realized. This rain was making it hard to judge distance or to really know their surroundings.
"Maybe we'll find the others!" Sam said confidently, pointing to how their trail was getting stronger. "They went to the hills too, I think."
Smiling, Lara nodded in agreement. "We won't find out until we reach them-" Stepping through a bush, Lara suddenly found herself losing her footing and falling down a steep depression that cratered a hidden pit. Lara skid and bumped the ground as she fell, finally landing with a loud splash into a dark organic soup.
"Lara!" Sam cried out, sliding down into the pit after her friend. Lara spat out mud and raised herself up just as Sam reached her, the two girls finding themselves in a pit of lurid mud. Despite the heavy rain, the mud remained lukewarm and Lara could see the skeletons of various creatures sticking out of the deep mud. The Archaeologist swore that she recognized the bones of a dinosaur and near it was a mastodon, an auroch and other creatures long believed to be extinct.
"A tar pit?" Lara thought, but immediately dispelled that idea. Though the sludge was clearly deep, easily sinking the girls up to their thighs, it was not so thick that they could not move through it. A tar pit on the other hand was strong enough to hold mastodons and mammoths until they sank, starved to death or were eaten by hungry predators. Maybe it was a tar pit in the past, thus the skeletons, but gradual climate change caused most of the contents to disappear or change. For now, Lara was more worried about getting out. "Lets get to the other side and climb out."
"You sure?" Sam asked uncertainly, but followed when Lara began to wade through the mud. As feared, the ooze was deeper in some places with Lara needing Sam's help when she was stuck up to her chest just a few feet in. Sam herself was sucked up to her shoulders soon afterwards, the girls barely able to pull her out and stopping to catch their breath.
"This was a bad idea." Lara conceded, the girls weren't even halfway through this pit and they both almost died. It would be better for them to go back, climb out and walk around the crater. It would be a long hike, but it was better than this certain death pit. "You lead."
"Right this way." Sam joked, taking the whole thing in stride. Suddenly, she stopped when she saw something move through the sludge in front of her and stop. "Lara...what is that?" The moving creature looked like a saggy dark grey slug or maggot than ten feet long with a rancid smell that reminded Lara of a corpse.
"I don't-" Lara didn't finish before a pink fleshy worm-like muscle emerged from out of the dull dark slug-like shell. The appendage reminded Lara of a penis with teeth. The "head" was coated in fine, white hairs which Lara guessed to be sensory organs. Those hairs picked up vibrations and scents for this creature, it didn't have any eyes or ears otherwise. Rows of teeth curving backwards decorated the mouth, the ones on the outside significantly larger than those found nearer to the open maw. The mouth gaped open and close, edging closer to the panicked Sam who skid back away from the creature.
Eyes widening in recognition, Lara began to more closely observe this mud pit and deduced a horrific sight. Carefully hidden by the black mud, there were dozens of slug-like shells within the pit. They were all fat and engorged, enlarged by vaguely humanoid shapes and some of them were still moving. Lara even heard faint moans from some of these slugs and began to understand what had happened to the other survivors.
They had found a Carnictis Pit.
"Sam! Get away from it!" Lara warned, oblivious to the carnictis that emerged out of the sludge behind her. Its pink mouth emerged out of its shell struck at Lara's back. Completely surprised, the archealogist cried out when the worm's jaws clamped onto her back and pushed her into the mud. Lara dropped her pickax into the silt, powerless against the weight and relentless prodding of the carnictis' teeth. She felt the creature rip apart the back of her shirt and scratch at her skin, moving up until it found her head and gripped onto her hair.
"LARA!" Sam screamed, watching as her friend's shocked face was sucked into the worm's maw. Seeing only red, a blind Lara immediately began to reach up and tried to push the worm off of her. But the worm continued to pull in her head and advanced down to her shoulders, heavy saliva pouring down her body and lubricating her damp top. Sam stumbled through the mud to Lara, spotting the pickax just a mere foot from where Lara struggled for her life. By the time Sam managed to pull the tool from the mud, Lara's breasts were being prodded and tasted by the carnictis, pushing and tearing at her tank top to reveal the sheer lace bra containing her bust. Lara was growing more and more tired, her struggling weakening as the carnictis began to suck in her torso.
Sam was horrified by how her friend's beautiful body distended the worm's fleshy tube. She could even see Lara's bust and horrified face accentuated by the carnictis' thin membrane. So horrified and determined was Sam, that she didn't notice the other carnictis worms stirring around her. Though fat and full of whimpering and moaning victims, the carnictis was a greedy hunter that knew nothing of temperance. Sam however, was too focused on saving Lara and charged through the mud at the worm slurping upon her hips.
Sam's first strike ripped open the carnictis' body and caused it to lose strength. Lara fell out of its mouth and fell back into the mud, Sam helping her up as she gasped for air. Covered in grime and spittle, Lara had to wipe the filth from her eyes in order to see. She cleared her vision in time to pull Sam down with her to avoid the lunge of another carnictis. They emerged out of the mud together, a wall of pink mouths gaping at the two girls hungry for living flesh. Sam swung at the nearest pink muscle and tore into its disgusting flesh. Two others grabbed Sam's arms and pulled her into the mob of worms, forcing her to drop the pickax as she screamed out.
"Sam!" Lara reached for the pickax, but several carnictis all grabbed for her body and lifted her off of her feet. She cried desperately, feeling the worms suck on her skin and molest her alluring curves in search of an end. The worms crowded over Lara, all of them hungry for her living flesh and pushing at each other for their own taste of the young woman. Lara kicked and punched at the beasts where she could, but it was a losing effort. She felt the worms tear at her shorts, rip into her shirt and somehow pulled off her boots during failed though energetic swallow attempts. In the tussle, her bra was torn from her breasts, exposing her hefty and supple tits to the worms eager mastication. She knew that she could not overpower these numbers, not without a weapon to defend herself, not with her arms being grabbed by several worms.
"Get off of me!" Refusing to give up, Lara headbutted a worm that was moving to her head and then another worm began to contend with it. She gasped when she felt something hot and wet wrap upon her legs and looked down to see a carnictis had swallowed them. Eyes widening, fought against the other worms to keep herself from being sucked in any further. She got her arms free when the worms just gave up, allowing Lara to reach down and try to push off the carnictis advancing up her toned thighs. "No...No!"
"LARA!" Lara looked over to Sam, seeing that her friend had been utterly stripped and mobbed by the carnictis scavengers at well. They were sucking all over her petite form, her small breasts covered in saliva and small cuts more heavily than the rest of her body. A carnictis had already swallowed her legs, now moving up over her hips and Sam restrained by the worms trying to consume each of her arms. Fearful that the three worms would tear Sam apart, Lara was distracted from her own peril. The worm took advantage and sucked in Lara's hands, trapping her arms to the side as it began to slide over the tomb raider's hips.
"Not like this..." Lara pleaded, the worm pushing Lara into the mud as if to use the ooze as sauce. The worm's insides pressed on her lower body, making Lara blush and breath heavily from the undesired arousal. She felt the disgusting meat-weasal slurp in her torso, its fangs pressing on the underside of her bare breasts. Spittle and mud ran over her nipples, arousing her puffy areola and making the tomb raider more miserable than she already was. Lara was on the verge of giving up, unable to do anything but watch Sam scream as her tits vanished inside of a carnictis' flexible maw. "I'm sorry Sam..."
"SOMEONE! SAVE ME! NO! NO!" Sam desperately screamed, her arms reaching up over her head to grab for something, anything to keep from being sucked into the worm. But it was a futile effort. The worm slurped in the short-haired girl with her face locked in a mask of horror and utter despair. Her arms soon followed, sucked in like spaghetti before the worm closed its mouth and swallowed. Lara teared up, seeing a squirming Sam distend the worm as she was pulled further into its retracting body.
"Sam..." Lara gasped when the worm's teeth nipped at her nipples, slowly sucking in her ample breasts and forming its insides around her bust. Lara didn't need to wait for the worm to consume her shoulders and neck, leaving only hear head outside of the worm's tubular mouth. The worm momentarily halted, savoring the taste of the female body that bulged its form and showed opaque shapes of her torso, ass and breasts through its pink membrane. Lara breathed deeply, trying to take in as much air she could before the worm inevitably sucked in her head.
Her last sight on where Sam moaned and squirmed inside of the carnictis that had devoured her...

Will Lara Croft find a way out of her perilous predicament? Is she doomed to become worm food?
I'll leave that to your imagination. I want to try something different by leaving the story intentionally unresolved.
