Elena, a curious adventurer, stood at the cave's mouth, the darkness within beckoning her. Her flashlight flickered as she hesitated, taking a deep breath before stepping inside. The cave walls were damp and cold, echoing with the distant drip of water.

Elena felt a chill run down her spine as she navigated the labyrinthine tunnels. Her flashlight cast long shadows that danced eerily on the stone walls. "I can do this," she whispered to herself, trying to suppress her growing unease.

Elena froze as she spotted a figure at the far end of the chamber. It resembled a woman, her form distorted and grotesque, with a swollen belly that seemed unnaturally large. "Who... or what are you?" she stammered, her voice barely a whisper.

The creature's voice was a chilling whisper, "I am the guardian of this place, and you have trespassed." Elena felt a sudden heaviness in her body, her mind reeling as the creature continued, "You shall bear the burden of my curse."

Elena gasped as her abdomen swelled, impossibly fast, mirroring the creature's monstrous form. She staggered, trying to move, but the weight was unbearable. "What have you done to me?" she cried, panic seizing her as she realized she couldn't escape.

Elena lay helpless on the cold stone floor, the realization of her fate sinking in. The darkness closed in around her, and she could hear nothing but her own ragged breathing. "Is anyone there?" she called out, her voice echoing back to her in a haunting reminder of her isolation.
