Turning Insole (Patreon)

Ming Lee had never cared for one of Mei's friends. Priya and Abby were fine enough and loved seeing how happy her precious girl was around them, Miriam however constantly got on her nerves. It wasn't just that she was a tomboy and Ming worried that might rub off on her daughter, she also seemed to constantly be pushing Mei to stand up to her own mother and convincing her she was being overprotective. Ming had put up with it for far longer than she should have, nervous that trying to force the two girls apart would only make Ming resent her and act out, but she couldn't afford to wait any longer... 

 With Mei's panda form soon to awaken she just couldn't take any chances, her daughter was going to need her protection more than ever and a certain bad influence was guaranteed to screw things up if left to her own devices. So Ming Lee invited over Miriam on the pretext that Mei was waiting for her, the nervous mother watching the door while tightly clutching a mystical amulet. It had been a gift from her grandmother that she had promised to only use to protect herself and her family, and while she was striking preemptively Ming was still confident this would keep her daughter safer in the near future. She waited until the clueless girl had closed the door behind her to use the artifact, watching in fascination as she dwindled down rapidly to the size of a bug. Her shocked shout petered out into a tiny squeak, and Ming almost giggled a bit at the sound of it. Kneeling down to pluck up the confused tiny, she also slipped off one of her shoes and grabbed it with her other hand. She had debated for some time on if this was too cruel a manner of imprisoning the girl, but she just couldn't risk Mei ever finding her. Keeping her underfoot was the only way she'd know where she was at all times, though she'd have to seal the entrance of her shoe at night with a sock or something...

A few days later, Ming Lee was relaxing on the sofa with her new insole squirming against her sweaty foot. The feeling had oddly grown on her, and the giantess was slowly trying to convince herself that perhaps she should alter her original plan. She had only intended to keep Miriam locked up until the panda curse had been dealt with, but Mei would probably be over her disappearance by that point, right? Should she really throw her daughter's world into more chaos by having her missing friend suddenly spring back up spouting crazy stories about her mother. Let alone if her daughter ended up believing her, the rift it would cause between them would tear their precious family apart! No matter how much she tried to justify it though she knew how cruel it would be to keep the girl in her shoe forever, but she kept chipping at her consciousness all the same. With how little she had seemed to take life seriously anyway, was becoming a foot servant really that dim a prospect...?
