It had been a long day.
For Sarah, she and her fellow cheerleaders had been practising for what felt like hours. Dressed in their midriff-baring outfits and with the floor resonating with every synchronised step they took, the clock hands dragged on endlessly.
As the teacher left the room to see a 'visitor' outside the hall, the girls continued to practise - throwing some conversation between their actions. As they finished, however, the girls suddenly realised they couldn't move - like every musle in their body had frozen and left them paralysed.
Panicking, the girls began to shout for help - only for the hall door to open and a unfamiliar figure to enter the room.

It was a man dressed in unusal clothing - like some kind of futuristic armour. His right hand was entirely mechanical while a metal mask covered half his face. On his wrist was a device of some kind while on his mask, his right eye looked undeniably different from a humans.
The man grinned as he walked in and turned to face Sarah and the rest of the girls.
"Well, well, well", he began. "What a beautiful group of ladies I will be feeding today".
The girls looked at him in confusion.
"What do you mean by feeding?" Sarah questionned. "It's already been lunch break, and who are you anyway".
"Oh, forgive my rudeness", said the man with a laugh as he walked towards Sarah. "You can call me the Slave-Driver. I am a scientist who discovered how to manipulate the nervous systems of all animals - finding out how to weild that power through technology".
"Is that why we can't move?" one of the other girls called out.
"Indeed", the Slave-Driver called back as he stood next to Sarah. "With this technology, I can seize control of the bodies and make them do what I want, like good little puppets".
His gaze then turned back to Sarah, who was trying her best to reclaim control of her body. It was no good, though - she was as stuck as the rest of them.
"I can manipulate your movements and your senses", the Slave-Driver explained with an evil grin, "making even the slightest touch feel so much more".
With that, he poked his finger into Sarah's bellybutton and wiggled it around inside. Normally Sarah wasn't very ticklish, but with her senses heightened she was soon in hysterics - unable to resist or fight back.
HAHAHAHAHAHA-HAHAHA! STAHAHAHAHAP-AHAHAHAHAHA!
A moment later, he stopped before walking away.
"Such a sweet sound - but now, time to hear a sweeter sound".
Suddenly, all the girl's eyes were shut as their legs began to move, marching them out of the hall and along the corridor - heading outside.
"Where are we going?!" screamed one of the girls. "What are you going to do with us?"
The Slave-Driver chuckled.
"I've already told you...I'm going to feed you".

Outside, the girls found themselves coming to a stop. When their eyes open, many of the girls wished they had stayed shut.
In front of them was an enormous centipede-like beast - towering over them. Most the girls immediately screamed at the sight of this towering colossus.
Three-fingered claws wiggled at the end of each leg while it's antenna flicked almost excitedly. A set of huge jaws on its mouth opened and closed as it gazed from up high down at the girls.
"What is that thing?!"
"One of my 'pet' experiments", the Slave-Driver replied. "During my time as a scientist, I was continually experimenting with animals as I learned more about controlling them".
"But what does this have to do with us?" Sarah asked.
"I said I was going to feed you", said the Slave-Driver with a sadistic smile. "I didn't say who I was going to feed you to".
His answer terrified the girls as they now realised his intentions. Some of them began to cry or scream or somehow try to delude themselves into thinking it was just a nightmare and that they would wake up.
If only fate could be so kind.
The girls suddenly found themselves been marched - one by one - towards the monster before them. The first gir screamed as the centipede grabbed her arms and lifted her off the ground. Moments later, the girls watched in horror as the screaming girl was slowly swallowed feet first into the Centipede's mouth.
The next girl, sobbing as she was forced to walk towards impending doom, was carried upside down as the centipede wrapped its claws around her boots before lifting her up and slowly swallowing headfirst. After some muffled screams, the girls feet disappeared from sight.

Sarah, watching in horror from below, now found herself been made to walk towards the creature. Again, she tried to regain control over her body but to no avail. As she stopped before the centipede, the beast hooked one of its claws under the back of her belt before lifting her from the ground.
Screaming as she watched her friends getting further away, her attention turned to the monster holding her as it first wrapped its tongue around her boots, pulling her in feet first.
Unable to move, she continued to scream and sob as she was pulled up to her waist inside the centipede's maw. Soon, her belly disappeared from sight as she was pulled in deeper.
With one last glimpse of sunlight as the creature tilted its head back, she found herself surrounded by darkness in the beast's mouth, sliding towards the throat.
However, she unexpected discovered that the Slave-Driver's technology was not affecting her now. Moving around, she began to scramble in search of a way to stop herself sliding further down.
Maybe...just maybe...there would be a chance for her to get out alive...
