The Crib Curse (Patreon)

“Hmm, this seems to be the place,” Maki said to herself, approaching the abandoned nursery. She took out her phone and read the initial report of the situation.

A few days ago the Jujutsu Sorcerers Organization got reports of a strange eerie rattling noise coming from this old, abandoned nursery. The organization classified this as a low-tier request, feeling that this level of the curse was child’s play. They knew that only one person was required to take such a task and Maki took the request without hesitation.

She felt that her skills were getting a tad bit rusty, and this was the best mission to take to give herself a nice training session. In fact, this specific curse was so easy to deal with that the Organization would send students to take care of it. It posed no threat to them.

Maki even did the effort to learn all that she could about this specific curse. It was known as the Crib Curse. The danger level of the curse was rated at a 0 since no one had ever gotten harmed by it before.

The curse was easy enough to handle so long as you avoid the crib. The curse itself manifests illusions around you trying to draw you to the crib. These illusions were baby-like in origin, which would never work on an adult-like herself. The curse also seemed to have the power to levitate objects around the nursery, but they were all just baby toys, nothing that big of a threat. They couldn’t hurt you so long as you stay away from the crib.

If you do accidentally get too close to the crib it will try to grab and pull you in. No one really knows what happens to the people who get caught, they just disappear, but they must have been complete amateurs to be caught by such a lame curse.

“Pfft,” Maki let out a small laugh thinking of the fools that were actually defeated by such a weak curse. She bet that none of them actually disappeared but quit after being defeated by such a curse.

Maki put her phone away as she walked into the abandoned nursery. It was dark and eerie as she walked inside, but she wasn’t worried at all. In fact, she was so confident in her abilities that she just casually trotted through the ghostly daycare.

She didn’t even bother to pull out her weapon yet. There was no point in having to be prepared for this level of the curse. In fact, by doing this she was giving herself a challenge.

“Hehehehe!” a young girl ran past Maki giggling to herself. Thanks to this Maki was able to realize that the illusions had begun. The crib was most likely in the same direction that the little girl ran.

She followed after the girl, as patches of the nursery began to brighten up as if the nursery was still brand new. She then entered what looked like a classroom where an illusion of girls that looked far too old to be babies, were still wearing their diapers and crawling around without a care in the world.

Maki tried to laugh at them but couldn’t help admiring how cute they were. She had always wanted to wear a cute dress like that growing up, but she was afraid that she would be made fun of. Maki’s face turned red, realizing how silly her thoughts just were. She had to get it together, only babies fall for these illusions, and she wasn’t a baby, right?

Maki pushed those childish thoughts away for now as she made her way out of the room, though upon leaving she entered another illusion where her clothes were transformed into a cute giant pink baby dress. Its tutu showed off her new poufy diaper.

A mirror appeared before her and her face turned red, seeing that her hair was styled in baby pigtails. She went to touch her hair, but it was just an illusion, so her hand which looked like it was wearing a giant pink baby mitten passed through the illusion as she touched her head.

“This isn’t real,” Maki said, trying to talk some sense into herself. “It’s just another illusion… a very real and cute looking illusion,” she said to herself, trying to touch her diaper, but oddly felt disappointed when her hand passed through it.

“I have to complete my mission she said walking through the illusion of the mirror, but the illusion of the baby dress and diaper did not disappear.

“Hahahahaha! Look at the baby!” another illusion of a young girl and her friends appeared before Maki. “Does the baby need her bottle? Is the baby’s diaper wet? Do you need a change?”

“I-I’m not a baby,” Maki said back to the girls. She knew that this was still an illusion, but she couldn’t help but feel embarrassed. These mean little sisters were supposed to look up to her, not make fun of her!

“Aww is the little baby going to cry?” the lead girl asked, mocking her.

“I-I-I’m not going to cry!” Maki yelled at the girl, trying to walk past them. She knew that the more that she listened to these girls the further that she would be consumed by the illusion. She had to finish her job, what these girls said didn’t matter, she wasn’t a baby!

“OMG! Look!” one of the other girls said, pointing start at Maki. “The baby wet herself!”

“W-what!” Maki yelled, looking down in shock to see that her diaper was now bright yellow. No how could this happen!? She was a big girl! A big girl doesn’t wet her diaper! This had to be a trick.

Maki went to touch her diaper, but just as it did before when she checked a minute ago, her hand went right through the diaper and she was left touching her skirt.

Maki closed her eyes and centered her mind. When she opened them again, she was alone in the old run-down hallway of the nursery, standing before a singular door. These illusions were more powerful than she thought, she actually thought that she had wet herself for a second and had turned into a giant baby, though that was impossible for someone like her.

Maki readied her weapon not noticing the small moist feeling between her crotch or the several small droplets of liquid behind her. The crib had to be on the other side of this door. Once she destroys the curse she could finally go home and forget about what happened here.

Upon opening the door, she was greeted with e illusion of a perfectly pristine nursery before her and at the end of the room was the crib.  As she started to walk into the room, an assortment of floating baby stuff started hurling in her direction.

Maki managed to easily dodge the stuffed teddy bears and other baby toys. As the speed of the items increased Maki used her weapon, slashing and smashing everything with ease. Though out of nowhere a white bottle came out of nowhere. Maki managed to smash it with her blade causing an explosion of baby powder to cover the room. This caused the baby powder to get in her eyes, making it impossible to avoid or block any of the floating baby objects being hurled straight at her.

Dark shadow-like hands appeared into baby power mist and started to attack Maki. She did her best to fend the pair of hands-off, but because of her current state of vision was helpless to notice another pair reach out from below her, grabbing her legs and pulling her straight back. Maki dropped her weapon as the hands dragged her away.

The baby powder mist began to clear as Maki’s eyes became able to see again, though what she saw was less than good news for her. Maki looked behind her to see that it was THE CRIB! The crib was pulling her in! There was nothing about this in the material that she went over! What the hell was this!?

As she was pulled closer to the crib, another set of arms wrapped around her torso, pulling her up into the air. Maki struggled with all of her might, but it was no use. No matter how hard she struggled, she knew that she was practically powerless without her weapon.

Maki grabbed the crib railings with her hands and was holding on for dear life. Maki was starting to panic and freak out now! There was no way that she fell victim to this level of the baby curse! No, no, no! She wasn’t a baby! She didn’t want to be a baby! No, no, no!

Maki’s mind was a mess, filled with fear as she was slowly pulled into the crib. She wanted to scream for help, but her voice wouldn’t come out. All she could do was sob in fear as she was dragged into to crib. Though even under these circumstances Maki continued to hold on to the railing, knowing that such a baby-level curse couldn’t be any more powerful than this. She would stay strong and she would fight!

Maki tried screaming for help one last time as she was about to lose her grip, but the moment that she did another dark hand muffled her mouth, with a baby pacifier. Upon feeling the pacifier in her mouth Maki let go of the railing in shock and was dragged into the cushy baby crib.

Inside the darkness of the baby crib, Maki was sat down on a soft padded cushion before the arms decided to let her go. Once they were finally gone, she looked up to see that the rails looked massive and they were now too tall for her to escape.

Baby powder began to rain down on her, melting her clothes bit by bit.

“Ack! Ack!” Maki started coughing after inhaling some of the baby powder causing her to trip and fall back to the ground through someone soft caught her and hugged her butt before warping itself around her crotch!

Crinkle!

She looked down and to her horror, it was a diaper! A real diaper, and not a fake one that the illusions showed her before. She tried to rip the diaper off, but it magically sealed itself shut and seconds later creepy baby block letters appeared on the front of her diaper, spelling out her name, which was totes adorable. Wait totes adorable, and cute, why the hell did she think that?

She’s not a baby, but the diaper did feel warm and soft. Maki pushed down on her diaper and oddly enough she felt safe. …No! She couldn’t let herself think that this was okay! She was a jujutsu sorceress, not a baby! There was no way that she could ever let herself be seen like this!

Though who could possibly see her here? Those mean little girls from before weren’t here and inside the crib, she felt safe and secure. The four walls that trapped her made her feel at peace. Was it alright if she just indulged her baby-like mind for a bit?

No, she had to get back, her friends were waiting for her. There was no way that she could stay here. She had to defeat this curse before she was dragged in any further and then find a change of clothes!

“Lalala tra lala, la deda tra lalala-”

All of a sudden gentle and relaxing lullaby started playing all around her causing her to look up to see a giant baby mobile spinning above her. Maki tried to look away, but she felt entranced by the mobile, unable to look away. She then unconsciously laid down in the crib as she continue to watch the mobile. She wanted to fight it, but the urge to sleep was too strong. There was no reason to worry, it was safe here, she could finish the mission in the morning she thought as she soon fell asleep.

Suckle! Suckle!

Crinkle! Crinkle!~

Maki woke up the next morning sucking on her pacifier while her diaper crinkled beneath her. She had no recollection of who she was or what had happened the night before. All that she did know was that the crib was the only home that she had ever known and she was nothing more than an adult baby that was taken care of 24/7 by her magical friends.

Maki noticed that her diaper was wet, but she didn’t even have a chance to cry, as bright colorful rainbow hands which were the same dark shadow hands from last night, flew out to change her, putting her in a new diaper.

“Hehehehe!” Maki giggled with her pacifier in her mouth as her friends lifted her up and put her in her highchair. They wanted Maki to have a fun day, but first, it was time for her to eat. Growing babies like her need to eat a lot to grow up to be big and strong. Though in her case she would never grow up, and always remain a baby for them.

The hands gently took out her pacifier before feeding her baby food. While they were silent it didn’t stop them from finding inventive ways of feeding their baby, such as making her think it was an airplane or train.

Maki seemed to dislike the food at first, but the hands seemed to have a way to make her comply and they made sure that she had eaten every last bit. While she may remember that she had always been a baby, today was still her official day as one, so they needed to make sure that this baby enjoyed all the perks of her new life, by filling her baby food with laxatives.

Once she was done feeding the hands brought her back down into her crib which was filled with a who bunch of baby toys from stuffed plushies all the way to baby teething rings.

She played around for the next few hours, crawling on her hands and knees because she could no longer remember to walk. She kept her pacifier in at all times, but you could easily see her cute little baby smile seep through it.

Everything Maki looked at seemed so bright and colorful that she had to play it. There were absolutely no big girl thoughts left in her mind. They were all drained away from her as she slept. Though it’s not like she ever needed them since this curse always finds those that were true babies at heart.

Maki stopped all of a sudden before sticking her diapered butt in the air, as she made a stern face. Seconds later Maki messed her diaper just like a baby. She didn’t mind as she sat down, mushing her mess all around her diaper.

She then saw a giant stuffed teddy bear and started to sit on it, to show her dominance. Her reasoning wasn’t very solid, but she was a baby and thinking was only for big girls. All she had to do was have fun.

“Hehehehe!” Maki giggled once more as her friends came to change her once again. They handed her a bottle of warm milk as they changed their baby, and like the good little girl she was, she made no fuse as they cleaned her and put her next diaper on though based on how much she ate for breakfast this would be only one of many diapers for this little stinker.

Will Maki ever escape? Does she even want to escape? Will her friends find her? Is her fate to be stuck in diapers forever acting little an adorable little baby? The crib started seeping into the ground through a dark portal, leaving no trace behind of where Maki had gone or what had happened to her. Hopefully, Maki enjoys her new life as a cute little diaper baby because there was no going back now.

-1 Week Later-

“Are you guys sure that she was last seen here?” Nobara asked her friends on the phone.

“This is the last mission that we knew she took before she went missing,” Panda-senpai said to her on his end of the phone. “We tried talking to the organization about what mission that they sent her on, but they refused to answer us. It was a miracle that we were able to find out the location.”

“I want to help find Maki-senpai just as much as you guys do, but are you absolutely sure that she went missing here?” Nobara asked, looking at the abandoned nursery before her.

“I am sure about it,” Panda-senpai said to her. “If you can check out that area, while I try sniffing around the organization some more that would be a great help.”

“No problem,” Nobara said ending their call before walking into the abandoned nursery. Inside she noticed that the power was off, though that didn’t matter since it was still the middle of the day.

The place looked thoroughly abandoned. Each classroom was bare and it only took her a few minutes before she reached the last room. When she opened it up, it looked abandoned like the rest, though through the corner of her eye she saw something laying on the ground. She picked it up and was surprised to see that it was a pink baby pacifier and a note attached to it.

Confused by this Nobara stuffed the pacifier into the pocket of her skirt before slowly opening the note. Inside of it were only five words: Does Baby Want To Play?

“What the fuck is this?” Nobara asked herself, tearing up the note, thinking that it was a prank of some kind by Panda-senpai, before leaving the nursery with the pacifier still in her pocket, not knowing that she was the curse's next victim.
