“There has to be something to help me in here.” I growled and a tiny slip of parchment drifted out to the floor. I shifted the book in my hands and looked down to see what fell out. A devious smile passed over my face as I read the title of the spell.

Freeze and see, yes!

I sat back and picked it up to read what the spell did and squealed as I read: paralyze your intended so they can see what you are doing. They won’t be able to move or speak.

Perfect.

Once Gran falls asleep for the night, I can sneak out and go home to work my magic and show my parents the pain they’ve caused. It should be easy enough to be back before anyone knows what I’ve done.

Gran’s old orange tabby strolled into the room and rubbed his head on me. I bit my lip, gave Cosmo a scratch on his chin, and spoke in a hushed whisper. “Uoqka pol pairo.”

My hand trembled as I touched his side and gasped when he didn’t move. His amber eyes blinked, and I looked back at the paper for the command to undo the spell.

“Iroeshru.”

Cosmo shook his head and smacked me with his paw before turning and flicking his tail in irritation at me.

“I’m sorry, Cos, I needed to try it out.”

“Mew.” He left the room, and I smiled bigger.

I successfully cast my first spell.

I tucked the parchment back inside the book and set it aside so I could pull out my pajamas and shower before having a cup of tea before bed. Thoughts swarmed in my head. The sense of power I felt, the slick, warm blood. And the urge to touch myself after seeing her naked, feeling her nipple in my mouth!

Stumbling to the bathroom, I set my water and stepped inside. Once the shower curtain closed, I let the water wash away the anger and disgust I felt with my parents. How dare they ruin my birthday! My head was back, letting the water penetrate through my thick hair, and I rotated my head around in a circle.

My PE teacher, Aggie, taught us this move to relieve stress in your neck and shoulders. I scrubbed my body from head to toe and then got out, wrapping a towel around me.

After drying my air with my small towel, I combed it out and split it down the middle so I could braid both sides. I rubbed my sweet rose scented lotion all over my body before slipping into my jammies and then went downstairs to the kitchen.

Gran sat at the table, talking with Jon. “There you are, darling.” She motioned me over. “Mister Dixon came to see how you enjoyed the class.”

My head tilted, and I felt my nipples tighten.

He came to see me!

I walked over and made myself a cup of tea and then sat beside Gran. “Hi, Mister Dixon.”

“Ladies, please, call me Jon.”

“Jon.” I giggled.

His cheeks turned red, and he looked down at his cup of tea. “As your Gran said…” He glanced up at me, his green eyes sparkling. “I wanted to see how you enjoyed the class and if I could answer any questions.”

“Because I was once someone. Does that still make me them?”

He tilted his head. “Give me an example?”

“Let’s say you were King Tut in a past life. Are you still King Tut, just in another body? Or are you Jon Dixon, who once lived as King Tut?”

“Gotcha.” He winked at me. “If that were my life, I would in fact be King Tut in this new body of Jon Dixon.”

“So I’m a Countess in a child’s body?”

Gran laughed. “Exactly.”

I let out a soft sigh and sipped my tea before a yawn took over.
