Why does that spell even exist? (BE story)

I had it so there were larger gaps between paragraphs that separated the time frames, but...

What could I do to make it clearer?

[teh_ninja]

Maybe the use of ellipses or something? Kind of like this:

then

A short thing here. I've redone Allie, since I never liked the old picture. Now her face is round like it should be, and she's actually got the lower half as described. And I made her skin less yellow. Overall, I'm much more satisfied with this one.

I also did Lucille, both before and after her chapter.



I will work on the next chapter later today. It's another that's mostly written already, so hopefully it won't take long.

Turns out it didn't take long just as I guessed HARR

A quick sidetrack from the main plot, to visit someone who's been absent for some time now.

Chapter 23

____________________________________________

“Nah, Lucy. I don’t think that’s a good move.” “Why not? I can capture your piece.” The two princesses were in Ruhtina’s lavish bedchamber. It was late at night; the elder princess wore only a nightshirt, which, due to her mammoth breasts demanding all the space, left her panty-clad curvaceous rear woefully uncovered. The younger had on light pink pajamas, and they highlighted her magically-gained curves quite nicely, though it also showed that she was rather dominated by her sister in figure. They were on Ruhtina’s large, elaborate bed, playing board games. “Because it’ll screw you if you do.” Lucille ignored her and did it anyway. Ruhtina shrugged, and grabbed her piece. “Jump, jump, jump, jump. I win.” “What?!” “Told you.” Lucille crossed her arms under her chest. “Checkers sucks.” Ruhtina laughed and grabbed the board and pieces, moving them off to the side.


“Okay, enough of that, now for seriousness. I’ve been meaning to discuss with you about running the country…” “Ruttie! That’s not your job yet! You’re still a princess! Mom’s in good health, right? She’s only forty seven! She’s… she’s not dying, is she? Ruttie, is Mom dying!?” “No, she’s not dying, stupid! But let’s face it: Mom’s… kind of an airhead. She’s not getting anything accomplished, and she’s just letting that Council of Lords walk all over her. I don’t like them at all. I get the feeling they’re doing things under our noses. So… I think I’m gonna have a talk with her. See if she wants to pass down the crown.” “Ruttie…” “Don’t worry. I’m just going to reestablish the monarchy’s power. I’ll be a fair and just queen and such. No, even better.” She pointed to Lucille. “We’ll co-rule.” “What? But that’s not how it works at all!” Ruhtina rolled over to her back and let her head hang back. “Ugh, I don’t care. The royal family here’s just props anyway. If we’re gonna get back to action, we need to throw out these rules. I just wanna get rid of those Lord guys.”


“What’ve they even done? I thought they’re doing okay…” “Lucy, do you not remember just this winter? They would’ve had you killed when you came back not looking like yourself. They were going to kill what’s her face; that sorceress who lives up north.” “Carline?” “Yeah, that’s it. The one who gave you these.” Ruhtina reached over and playfully grabbed Lucille’s breasts. Lucille shrieked and batted her hands away. “Ruttie!” A guard was almost immediately at the door. “Something wrong, Princess Lucille?” Ruhtina waved her hand for her to go away. “It’s fine, Sylvia. Just normal sibling fooling around.” Sylvia bowed and retreated. “Anyway,” She continued, as Lucille defensively covered her chest with her hands. “And I spent days with the sorceress. She wouldn’t hurt a fly. The Redlich Massacre, that must’ve been a fluke. If I were in charge, I’d find out exactly what happened there. I’m sure clearing that up would improve our relationship with Retzli as well; they’re not really appreciating how Ceyllitar houses her and such, even though she’s only even at the very edge of our border.” Lucille reached her arms out, yawning loudly. “But it’s getting late. You should go to bed, Lucy. We can talk about this later.” “No, no. I’m fine.”


She sat up from her sideways-lying position, and rubbed her eyes. “And it’s all the fault of Lady Rudine anyway.” “Gawd, Rudine. She gives me the creeps. Her and her husband Rulfort. They were the ones pushing so hard to set Bella on the sorceress.” “Yeah… and then Lord Rulfort suddenly passed a few days after she brought me back here.” “See, I don’t get that at all. I mean, they agreed on everything, and she didn’t have anything to gain it, but I’m still convinced she killed him.” “Ruttie! Don’t say things like that! You don’t think she… Lady Rudine… she’s creepy with all her monochrome and stoicness, but… you don’t really think she woulda killed her husband? She loved him!” “Everything’s all lovey dovey and idealistic with you. They were only even married a year. And the guy only even was here for a bit longer than that. I bet she was using him for something. I mean hell, can you even become a lord by marriage? And that witch is old; she’s been on the Council for like forty years. Why would she settle down now? And why would her hubby roll over and die when the Bella thing fell through?”


Ruhtina yawned as well, girlishly and properly covering her mouth as she did so. “But enough politics now; I’m getting tired too.” “So what then? Are you going to bed?” “Not before you do!” Ruhtina rolled back again so she was lying on her stomach, her enormous breasts keeping her from actually lying flat. “So, I never asked. How was it by the sorceress?” “What do you mean?” “I mean when she gave you those big ‘ol tits and ass.” “Oh! I don’t really know… I was too excited by actually having them to dwell on how it felt.” “Haa~” Ruhtina swung her legs around and sat up as well. She held up her breasts. “When she did me, it felt great.” “What would she need to do you for, anyway? You’re already so curvy and pretty.” “I am, aren’t I?” She let her hands travel up the expansive roundness of her breasts, and then down her ribcage and slim waist. They came to a rest at her wide hips. “I really am just built to have sex, aren’t I?”


Lucille shifted in her spot. “Why do you always sleep around anyway? It’s really undignified.” “Says who? I think it’s liberating to be sexually active. But for why, it’s like… have you ever just been sitting, and suddenly you have this huge craving for donuts?” “Yeah.” “Now imagine that, but it’s for having sex instead of donuts.” “I… can’t really do this fairly, Ruttie. I haven’t ever gotten urges like that.” “Well, it’s what I do. And… my god, Lucy, it’s so amazing…” “Do you have to go have sex with everyone though? Men and women?” “What can I say? I like cock. Big ol’ cock. And I like me some pussy too; I don’t discriminate.” “Ruttie…” “I mean, it’s hard to beat sex with a man… a nice, long, thick cock thrusting up into your cunt…” “Ruttie! Gross!” “But there’s also so much appeal in some wonderful pussy-pussy action, and then I don’t need to bother with birth control…” “Ew! Ruttie, this is disgusting!” “Well maybe you should go get laid sometime. Then you’d get where I’m coming from.” “B-but Ruttie,” Lucille said, trying to steer the conversation back into her comfort zone. “Shouldn’t you be looking for a suitor or something by now? Someone who can be the prince to your princess? The king to your queen? Settle down with just one man?” “Ha! If I can ever find one man who can keep up with my libido, maybe I’ll ‘settle down with just one man’. And I mean keep up. I wanna be able to pull a day straight of nothing but fucking and rehydrating ourselves.”


Ruhtina stretched again during the pause in which Lucille was plainly grossed out. “Now I’m wide awake from that. And kinda turned on. Hey, Lucy, you like boobies, right?” “They’re… um, alright. I guess. I think mine are really nice.” Ruhtina got off the bed. She walked over to the door, and poked her head out. “Oi! Sylvia!” Sylvia came to and responded. “Y-yes, Princess Ruhtina?” “You were nodding off, weren’t you? Shame on you! You’re supposed to be guarding us from intruders!” “I-I’m sorry, princess! It won’t ever happen again!” Ruhtina looked over her guard. She was about the same height as her, and kept her platinum blonde hair short. She was wearing proper guard attire, and kept herself completely nonsexualized. Ruhtina’s eyes traveled over her; the guard was kind of dumpy, in the princess’s opinion. She wasn’t really fat, but she was kinda thickly built, and not so hot in the body. A smile played at Ruhtina’s lips. She could at least fix part of that. “Hey, Sylvia, go see if any of my handmaidens- no, scratch that, go see if Cassie- er, Cassandra- in specific is awake, would you? Bring her to me if she is.” “And if she’s not, princess?” Ruhtina shrugged. “Do it anyway.”


Ruhtina returned to her bed and sat, patiently waiting. “So Lucy, we were just talking a few minutes ago about the sorceress, right?” “Yeah…” “When I was there, I picked up something amazing from her.” “Oh?” “Yeah, just wait till Sylvia comes back. Then you’ll see.” Lucille yawned a second time. Ruhtina lay back, propping herself on her elbows. “Don’t be falling asleep yet, Lucy, there’s gonna be a show soon.” “I’m tired, Ruttie. I wanna go to bed.” “No you don’t! Stay awake!” Ruhtina reached over and began to tickle Lucille. The younger giggled and squirmed. “S-stop it Ruttie! You know I’m ticklish! S-stop now!”


A woman clearing her throat caught Ruhtina’s attention. She turned her head to see Sylvia standing at her door with a redheaded young woman who was sleepily rubbing her eyes. “I’ve fetched Cassandra, princess.” Ruhtina clapped her hands together. “Excellent!” Cassie didn’t seem to be in such a chipper mood as the princess did. “What is it, princess? It’s like one in the morning…” “I’ve been meaning to do something with you, Cassie.” “Does it have to be now?” “I think it’s a good time; I dunno about you.” Lucille pitched in, “Look, Ruttie, I’m sorry, but I agree with Cassie. I’m really tired. I’m going to bed.” Ruhtina rolled her eyes and sighed. Lucille was going to miss it. Oh well. That meant she could get more overtly sexual around them then (and perhaps even bed them). The two princesses both got up, and they hugged. “G’night, Ruttie.” “G’night, Lucy.” Ruhtina also became aware of her sister’s breasts pressing against her own, a sensation she still hadn’t quite gotten used to. “Lucy, this was so much easier when you were all small. Now your boobs get in the way.” “You sure it’s not just yours?” Lucille detached, and left the room, yawning yet again.


Ruhtina, now alone with guard and handmaiden, looked over the latter. She was a bit shorter, and younger; she knew her to be only eighteen. She had an innocent, pretty face, and mid-back length orange hair. She was lightly freckled across her face and down her arms, and they disappeared into her nightgown. However, the poor thing was completely flat, and had no hips or butt. She didn’t really have a figure at all. Ruhtina wore a small smile again at the last bit. She could change that too.


“So, girls… I’ve been meaning to show you something…” “I-including me, princess?” “Yes, you too Sylvia.” She walked a small circle around the two of them, not bothering to hide the fact that she was checking them out. “So, Sylvia… how does someone so young as you get put in charge of keeping someone as important as the crown princess of Ceyllitar from harm?” “I-I don’t know, princess.” “Someone so young and inexperienced… and who falls asleep on the job…” Sylvia averted her eyes. “I… I don’t know… princess…” Ruhtina put a hand to her chin, and brought her to face her. “So, do you know what I’m going to do?” “I… don’t know, princess.” Ruhtina backed off, and looked her in the eyes. “Take off your shirt.” “What? You… can’t be serious?” “Yeah, I’m serious. Let’s see those lovelies.” Sylvia was severely confused, but did so anyway, it being an order from the princess. She removed her shirt, and exposed her small breasts, held by a lacy bra. Ruhtina lightly felt one. “Lookit these cute little things.” Sylvia’s face got very red. “P-princess, what are you doing? Aren’t you going to punish me?” “Punish you? No… it’s not your fault not everyone adheres to a sleep cycle that can handle this. I’ll have to reassign you, sure, but first…” She drew herself closer, pressing her breasts against Sylvia’s, dwarfing them. “What do you think about… sex with another woman?” “P-princess! Are you saying what I think you are?” “Absolutely. The two of us. Here. Now.” “I-I’m sorry, princess, but I don’t… that’s not…” Ruhtina put a finger to her lips. “Shhh. I’m sure you’ll think about it more as we go.”


She turned to Cassie, who didn’t seem terribly perturbed by Ruhtina’s actions. She was Ruhtina’s main handmaiden, so naturally she was used to her behavior. “And you, Cassie.” She moved to her, and laid her hands on her waist. “You’ve lain with me before…” Cassie sluggishly knocked her hands off herself. “Princess… I just want to sleep… do you have to be horny all the time?” Ruhtina smiled softly. “Oh, but Cassie, I know you’ve always been self-conscious about your itty-bitty titties.” Cassie suddenly woke up, and blushed. “S-so what?” “Don’t you wish you had ones like me?” She put a hand on one of her own, pressing into it invitingly, not even close to being able to cover it. “Big, beautiful, round, soft, full breasts like mine?” “Yes, yours are lovely, princess, but I’m fine with mine. Honest.” Ruhtina rolled her entire head. “Drop the whole ass-kissing modest servant thing. If you had the chance for some great knockers, would you pass it up?” “No, I wouldn’t.” “I thought so.”


She backed up, focusing her gaze on both women. “I’ve got something, I think I’ve finally figured it out; it can make both of you look great.” Her hands shone a soft pink. “Now ladies, I’m not sure I have enough in my reserve for both of you to have gorgeous tits like me, so you’ll have to share, and maybe we’ll do this again later~” She clapped her hands together, and the pink dispersed into both Sylvia and Cassie. Ruhtina moved to the youngest again, and began encircling her chest with a finger. “How about we lose the nightgown, lovely?” Cassie, still not really ashamed, pulled it over her head, exposing her barely noticeable, undeveloped breasts, along with the fact that her spotted skin went down far enough to go over them as well. Sylvia had her arms folded over her chest, rather uncomfortable during all this, and she voiced it. “Princess, what exactly is going on? If you invited me here for sex, I’m sorry, but I need to turn you down. I’ve already let down the kingdom by sleeping on the job…”


She stopped, as she felt something jabbing her arms. “What is…?” She loosened her arms a bit, and saw her erect nipples. She quickly covered herself even more tightly. “What are you doing?” “I already told you: Boobie. Spell.” “I didn’t think you actually meant it!” She quickly reached for her shirt again, and pulled it over herself, ignoring how good the fabric dragging across her nipples felt. “This has c-crossed a limit, princess!” “Come now…” She approached her guard, and laid a hand on her breast with perfect timing, as it started to fill up. “What? My… my breasts… they’re…” “Yeah, growing. Try to keep up.” Ruhtina held her hand in place, feeling the soft flesh swelling into it. She gave Sylvia’s breast a light squeeze, and its owner quickly drew back. “No! I don’t know what kinds of things magicians like you get up to… b-but this is absurd!” She folded her arms again, but this time she couldn’t do it nearly as tightly, as her breasts were getting to be more than their nearly flat previous selves.


Ruhtina laughed haughtily. “You’ll come round.” She turned to Cassie, who’d been staring wide-eyed. “Are you seriously…?” “Oh, yes. Look at yourself, lovely.” Cassie turned her eyes downward, and saw that her small nipples had perked up. “Oh!” She kept her hands off of herself, not wanting to get too involved, and she saw her nipples and areolae grow slightly, covering more of her chest. She touched a pink nub, and gasped, the intense sensitivity it suddenly had surprising her. Ruhtina closed in on her, moving just behind her, and she put her hands on her shoulders. The princess leaned in and whispered into her ear. “Just think about it, Cassie, in just a few short minutes you’ll have a lovely, bouncy pair of breasts.” Cassie felt a sudden jolt, and the redhead and blonde both watched as two small lumps budded on her chest. She put her hands to her mouth and squealed. “Boobs! I’ve got honest-to-goodness boobs!”


Again, she slowly reached up, and this time prodded one of the soft, tiny mounds, and gasped with excitement. Ruhtina laughed, a low, seductive laugh. “Not yet you don’t. These babies aren’t nearly what they will be.” She reached one of her arms down, and slid it over Cassie’s chest. Cassie made a funny noise, as her budding breasts were very sensitive, just like her still minorly growing nipples. Ruhtina released her and strolled away. “Oh, but I can’t stay too long with one of you.” She sauntered over to where Sylvia had gone, facing away in one of the corners of the room. “And how are you doing?” Sylvia didn’t answer. Ruhtina peeked around, and Sylvia blushed heavily, clearly fighting very hard to not enjoy it. “C’mon,” the seductress purred. “Just think of how buxom and beautiful you’ll be.” She gently grabbed one of the guard’s arms, and set it aside. Her breasts had become round and cute, but were still about that same size they’d been when she’d walked away, not nearly as big as they should be. Ruhtina puzzled over this. “Odd… I recall mine getting bigger much faster.” She stared at the pitiful, hardly noticeable growth, and suddenly had insight. “Ah! My magic’s weak, and it went into both of ya! That means… I need to bring you two closer!”


Sylvia was still very embarrassed and hesitant. “I-I’d rather just stay o-over here, princess, if that’s alright with you…” “No, no… join the fun, Sylvia. Don’t you want to be a busty beauty like me? You don’t know what you’re missing.” A mischievous smile played at her lips. “But I can show you.” She grabbed her nightshirt and pulled up, purposely struggling at her bounteous breasts. She waited for just the perfect amount of time, and then finished its removal, and her glorious bust was out in the open. Sylvia couldn’t help but be mesmerized by it; most people couldn’t. Ruhtina had no idea why they were so supernaturally appealing, but she wasn’t above abusing the fact.


She balled up her shirt and threw it toward her bed, and turned back to Sylvia. “See these? Don’t you want perfect, heaving, flawless breasts like them? I’m sure you could get any man you want.” As she said the last few words, she slipped her hand under Sylvia’s shirt and walked her hand up the space on her chest between her breasts. “Or any woman.” “That… would be good…” Ruhtina suddenly closed the gap between them, pressing her lips against the guard’s. Sylvia was helpless against her overwhelming sexual power, and gave in, while Ruhtina explored the inside of her mouth with her tongue. Sylvia squirmed after a few moments of this and pulled away. “P-princess! Not for… not for my first time…”


Ruhtina gasped with exaggerated shock. “Twenty five and still a virgin? We’ll need to fix that, won’t we, you Christmas cake you.” “N-no! It’s perfectly fine like this!” “Now, now, think about it: any man (or woman) you meet, you could tell them, ‘Hey, the first person I fucked was the super-hot princess!’” “But… you’ve been with so many people…” “And it’s the most mind-blowing sex they ever have.” “P-princess, this conduct is highly improper, and I think you should leave me be!” “Pah.” Ruhtina turned her attention away. “How boring. She’ll come around eventually.” She returned to Cassie, who was still gazing at her chest, undecided as to whether she wanted to touch any part of the new developments. Ruhtina pressed her bare breasts into her chest, and the handmaiden squealed again. “P-princess! Ooh!” “No need to be so formal, Cassie. I want to hear my name when you get to the height of passion, not my title.” Cassie backed away from Ruhtina’s soft spheres, and continued to observe her unchanging chest. “Oh… why won’t they get any bigger? And my nipples are still so hard… sitting on a line between extreme pleasure and a bit of discomfort…” “Then let’s push you over that line.” She leaned over a bit, her massive breasts swaying hypnotically, and set to work on Cassie’s pitiful ones with her hands, feeling their awkwardly large nipples, and gently depressing the small, soft mounds beneath them. “Whoo! Oh! You r-really jacked up how good this feels! B-but Ruh-Ruhtina, stop, please!” Ruhtina obliged, giving her a questioning look. “Why won’t they grow?” “I need to bring Sylvia over here to make that happen, and she won’t give in.” “Well, go get her! Please! I want this so much!”


“I’ve got an idea… why don’t you go get her? That way you could even get some going right there.” “Ooh, why didn’t I think of that?” Cassie left her and went to Sylvia. “C’mon, Sylvia… what’s bad about having bigger boobs?” “That’s… there’s…” “We’ll be so beautiful, Sylvia…” “A woman’s beauty isn’t in her breasts, Cassandra.” “But it helps! Please, Sylvia. I’ve been flat-chested all my life. I just want a nice pair…” “Well, no. Not at the expense of my dignity.” “You can still have dignity and a nice pair. Look at Princess Lucy.” “Cassie… my position’s already lost now thanks to me sleeping on the job. What will they say if I turn up tomorrow with huge, inflated breasts and having slept with the princess?” “They’ll say whatever Ruhtina wants them to say… have you forgotten that she’s the second most powerful woman in the kingdom? And you say ‘if’ as though sex with her is an option at this point… trust me from experience, it’s not. She is MAGICAL at that. You might as well enjoy it.”


At that point, Ruhtina made her direct presence known. “So girls, how’s it going?” “P-princess, I-” “I’m gonna say the same thing I told Cassie; for the rest of the night, I’m just Ruhtina.” She looked between the other two women’s chests. “So, as I said, how’s it going? Doesn’t look like much progress has been made.” “Prin- Ruhtina, I… does this really have to happen?” “‘fraid so, Sylvia.” She put a hand just below the slight curve of one of Sylvia’s breasts, and moved it up and down a bit. “You said it’ll be your first time… don’t worry… I’ll be gentle… I’ll guide you…” Sylvia just sheepishly nodded in defeated silence, coming to terms with the inevitability. Ruhtina thus lifted Sylvia’s shirt over her head. “But first let’s get these done… you won’t regret it…” “O-okay…” Ruhtina clapped her hands again in excitement. “Goody! About time! Now, lovely, you and Sylvia go hug or something.”


Cassie moved the short distance to Sylvia and reached her arms around her. Both felt their breasts suddenly jolt internally, and resume their regular course. Cassie separated, taking Sylvia’s bra with her. “Where we’re going, we won’t need bras!” She twanged it and giggled. She dropped the garment to the floor, and took up observing herself again. She squealed in delight when she saw that her breasts were continuing to form, and slowly her oversized nipples became more natural looking against them. She felt the supple developments with glee. Now she finally could look like she was someone hot enough to date, like she could claim to have actual boobs!


Sylvia on the other hand was more apprehensive about it. As she stood topless with the underwear-only princess and handmaiden, her and the latter’s breasts growing, the entire thing felt a bit surreal to her. Nonetheless, she let a hand feel the strange, but pleasurable growth. Breasts that had been small and admittedly not perfectly shaped were becoming bigger and rounder, and she hated herself for liking it. But still she indulged herself in the wonderful bliss of it. She rubbed her thighs together as she fondled herself, and her breasts were becoming a more prominent mark of her profile all the while.


Cassie looked up from her dealings to Sylvia. “What? No fair! Why are hers getting bigger so much faster?” She grabbed one of the guard’s breasts, and the other gasped. Feeling herself up was new and exciting enough, but another! “Ooh, Cassandra… that’s good… do it some more…” Cassie got a glint in her eye. “You like that, huh?” She shuffled a bit closer, her face right next to Sylvia’s. “This threesome’s gonna work out fine, I think.” She continued to grope the blonde’s breast, and her other hand went down to remove her pants. “C-Cassandra! That’s…” Ruhtina butted in, putting a finger to Sylvia’s lips again. “You won’t need pants where we’re going, either.” The two more excited ones teamed up to remove her pants, while each used their free hands to stimulate each of her breasts. “Whoa… ooo… P-princess, I’ve heard stories about youuuoh!” Ruhtina smiled as she noted the breasts of her guard reaching a large size. “They’re probably all true… you’ll find out personally in a few minutes…”


She ushered Cassie’s hand away, and began to knead Sylvia’s breasts alone. “They’re becoming beautiful, Sylvia. You should be very proud of them.” “Ooh… th-thank you, Ruhtina…” Once again they locked lips, and this time Sylvia participated as well, both women lovingly caressing each other as they did. Cassie, meanwhile, refocused on her own chest. “These are wonderful…” she thought, as she stared at her still growing breasts, a light red coloring her freckled face. She bounced up and down on the balls of her feet, just to watch the bouncing of her breasts. She placed her hands on the grapefruits to calm them, and let out a very happy sigh. This was absolutely worth being woken in the middle of the night. She had, in her mind, the most wonderful pair of breasts in the world, and even as she felt them come to a stop, she was completely satisfied, looking down their round, lightly mottled forms.


Ruhtina and Sylvia separated, the guard blushing heavily still. “R-ruhtina… that was… wonderful.” “Oh, but that’s just a taste of things to come tonight…” She looked down at Sylvia’s chest, and noticed that her breasts had finished too. They looked very nice, and Ruhtina mentally patted herself on the back. They’d gone from petite and a bit off to shapely and decently sized; probably large C cups, maybe Ds. She could definitely use another round of this later, once Ruhtina’s magic had recharged, but for now it’d do.


“So,” Ruhtina said, looking between the very pleased Cassie and the embarrassed but happy Sylvia. “Now that you’ve both got some nice (but still small, Cassie) tits, how about we get this started?” “Okay!” Cassie nodded, excited, and took Sylvia by the hand, leading her over to Ruhtina’s bed. Ruhtina left them for a moment to go and lock her door. This was yet another time she was grateful that she’d had her walls made particularly thick, since it was to be a loud night tonight.


She turned back to the other two, where Cassie was now lying on top of Sylvia, both looking at her expectantly. Ruhtina smiled. With the new pleasure, sensitivity, and horniness the spell had given them, this was going to end up being her greatest night since her threesome with some twins. On the subject of that, she had a thought. “After this… I need to see if I can find a spell like this for penises…” But now was not the time for that. She slipped off her panties as she began to walk, hips swaying, back to her bed. She got on, prepared for a very good time.


It was going to be a long night.

Chapter 24

________________________________________

Tuicia made her way toward Anni?s bedroom, walking rather quickly. It had been a while since the other time she?d gone to her for advice, but she was hoping that Anni was still as open as then. Now was a desperate time. Her mind had far too much on it. She needed some kind of getaway. She flung open the unlocked door to the bedroom. ?Annee, ?it me, Ah? AH!?


She seemed to have just stumbled on a very private moment. Anni?s clothes all lie in a pile at the foot of her bed. She was lying flat on her back, knees high and her legs bent and spread wide, her panties down around her ankles. One hand was low down, a sole finger gently and relaxedly traveling up and down the rim of the cleft between her legs, and the other was up higher, glowing a faint pink. It was softly fondling her slightly growing breasts, her erect nipples pointing into the air. Tuicia was pretty sure she could see the smallest droplets of milk beginning to leak from them as well. Anni?s face held the most serene, blissful expression Tuicia had ever seen. It didn?t last long, though, as she registered the voice. Coming out of her daze, she turned her head, opening her eyes and seeing Tuicia standing in the doorway. She screamed, quickly sitting up and crossing her legs tightly, while trying to cover as much of them as possible with her arms. ?WHAT?RE- WHAT DO- GETOUTGETOUTGETOUT!?


Tuicia instantly slammed the door shut and whirled around, completely red with embarrassment. She put a hand over her chest, feeling her heart race. ?Oh? it is just? just like when Ah walked in on Madame? all zose monzs ago?? She felt her heart beat even faster now, thinking back on Carline?s naked form. ?Ah! No! Ah must not sink of zose sings!? She put her hands over her eyes in an attempt to block out the image. She waited a bit like that to calm down, thankful that Anni?s room was at a dead end where other servants usually did not come by, then turned and knocked on the door softly. ?Annee? Ah?m? Ah?m sorry, interrupting your? alone time. Ah was so used to just coming in?? There was no response for a bit, but then the door creaked open, and Anni?s face peeked through the gap. ?Wh-what did you see?? Tuicia began running her hands down her hair. ?Ah am afraid Ah saw everysing, Annee; your ?eavenly expression? your bared bosoms? even ze way you gently ?andle your? um? your la chatte.?


Anni looked as though she was distraught but trying to hide it. ?Oh?? She averted her eyes. ?Annee?? ?J-just go away? come back later?? She began to close the door, but Tuicia caught it. ?Annee, please. Ah need to talk about zis. Ah don?t sink it can wait.? Anni stopped, but still wouldn?t look at her. Tuicia sounded particularly concerned.?Fine? f-fine. Give me? give me a bit.?




The two of them sat uncomfortably on her bed about fifteen minutes later, the younger woman clothed now. She had not taken the time to put on all her clothing, only sporting her black pantyhose-like material and tank top. ?Annee? Ah am so sorry? your door, it was not locked?? ?I-it should?ve been? I locked it when I decided to? to? um?? ?Annee? why did you, in ze middle of ze day??? ?I already told you? I use the buxom spell along with other things as a stress reliever?? Her face was a deep shade of red. ?A-and? well, I?m young and horny. This isn?t the first time I?ve done this? e-ever since you talked with me that l-last time? and when I was buxomizing the servants, and th-they were?? Anni trailed off. ?I?ve got these hormones out of control and all, but? I?m? um? incompatible with anyone else here? I like boobs, of course; I blame that on Carline?? ?What are you trying to say, Annee?? ?I?m saying? I-I think I want sex. Badly. But being stuck up here, and having a shit reputation anywhere nearby, it?s not like I can find some dude? so? this is the closest I can get. I?m just stuck here, d-doing this to satisfy my urges.? She paused and wiggled uncomfortably, still flustered. ?B-but I?ve said too much. Why are you here??


Tuicia tilted her head. ?Annee? is zat really such an issue for you? Ah am sure, if you wanted a relationship, we could ?ave ze Madame-? ?No, n-no, it?s fine. You?re? you?re not here to talk about me. Why are you here?? Anni repeated. Tuicia decided not to press the subject, since Anni clearly didn?t want to talk about it. ?Okay. But Annee, please, if zere is anyzing Ah can do-? ?No! Just drop it!? Tuicia sighed. They both sat in silence for a bit, before Anni spoke, seemingly calmed down. ?S-so what do you want, then?? ?Before Ah start? Ah want ze buxom spell first, Annee.? She pulled her top down, exposing her breasts, but not without a bit of embarrassment from both parties. ?Ah am ?eavily conflicted? Ah need zis to ?elp calm me?? Anni snickered. ?With or without milk?? ?What are you? Some kind of fast-food restaurant? ?but wizhout.? Anni placed her well-kept hands on Tuicia?s breasts, and calmly put the buxom spell to work. ?Good. You got all weird with it when I did that last time. Tried to drink it and such. Weird as hell.? Tuicia covered her bosom again, blushing. ?Ah? Ah ?appen to like ze? unique taste of breast milk, okay??


She sniffed. ?Merci. Now? it is about ze Madame. Ah fear it is getting worse? after ze events two nights ago, wizh what Ah did to Madame?? ?What?d you do now? I missed all that.? ?Well? Ah was razher drunk, but? Ah tried to coax ?er into ?aving sex wizh moi. But zat is not all. If it was, Ah would just blame it on my intoxication. Ze reason Ah am in ?ere? A few hours ago, Ah took a quick nap? and in it? in my dream? Ah did ?ave sex wizh Madame. It was not just a random dream like zat, zough? it was wonderful, Annee. We were? so passionate? so tender? so loving? everysing felt? so right. But? what could it mean? Do dreams tell?? C-could it really mean zat Ah am? zat Ah am in love wizh Madame?? Anni stared. ?You? in your dream?? ?Oui. And? ma situation, it?s deteriorated. Before Ah ?ad no attraction to ?er body. She is beautiful, yes, Ah ?ave always recognized zat, but now? Ah look at ?er, and she is even more ze most stunning woman Ah ?ave ever seen. ?er? ?er every modest curve, ?er beautiful, dark ?air? ?er pretty, pale eyes? ?er long, lovely neck? ?er? soft lips, according to my dream??


Anni hesitated before answering. ?Tuicia? it couldn?t be more obvious. You love her. How could you possibly describe her like that if you didn?t?? Tuicia began running her hands down her hair again. ?Ah? But? ?ow could we work? We are? two women. Ah? so long, Ah ?ad always meant to settle down wizh a good man and start a family? ?ow could Ah do zat wizh Madame?? She could feel her nipples were erect now, but they did not show through the thicker bustier she?d fashioned since last time. It was only a small comfort at the moment, though. ?Ah? Ah just don?t know, Annee?? ?Tuicia. I say this as a friend. Go for it. You?ve known her nine years; and especially over this last one, when she?s become less distant. You know her well? you know what kind of decision this is? and besides, I think Carline?s been looking to fill that hole in her life.?


?B-but ?er ?usband! ?e? She ?as not mentioned ?im for some time, but? Ah don?t know if she?s over ?im still!? Her breasts began to slowly push out, and she absentmindedly grabbed for the top of her bustier to keep it on. ?Well,? Anni said, eyes flickering momentarily down to Tuicia?s growing bosom. ?Not to be a bitch, but? it?s been nine years. She needs to get the fuck over him. He?s been dead for almost half the time she?s known him.? ?Annee! Do not speak like zat!? ?It?s true, though.? Tuicia exhaled a short breath through her nose, and pulled her outer edge of her top away from her a bit to see the progress of her chest. It plodded along slowly, her breasts getting bigger and rounder. She let go of her clothing, wincing as it snapped against her sensitive mounds. Then she removed her gloves, just as last time.


?But even zen?? Tuicia lightly played with her breasts, enjoying the wonderful feeling, but making sure to keep it in moderation so she could still hold conversation. ?Zere are still so many ozher factors?? ?Like what?? ??aving child, for starters. Ah want to be a mozher, so very badly, but? zere are a few anatomie problems wizh Madame preventing zat?? ?So adopt or something.? ?No way!? She animatedly thrust her arm into the bed as she said it, sending her small-watermelon-sized mammaries jiggling. ?Zere is no point in being a mozher if you do not go srough ze pregnancy and childbirzh! Zat is important bonding time wizh ze enfant!? She placed her other arm beneath her breasts to steady them, and shuddered momentarily. She?d forgotten how sensitive they got when under the buxom spell?s influence.


?A-and what about being bonded wizh Madame? Ah wish to marry ?oever it is Ah settle down wizh, and ma Madame?? She tried tucking her breasts back in, as they were overflowing her bustier and trying to escape. Even so, their areolae were noticeably sticking out of their holder. ?What?s the problem with that?? Anni asked, trying hard to maintain eye contact. ?Ah? Ah don?t know if she would be ready for zat kind of sing? and we are also two women?? She looked up and noticed Anni biting her lip. ?Annee? Are you- OH!?


Her breasts spilled out of her top, jiggling vigorously from the sudden movement. ?Oh? oh! Is zat what you were?? Go a?ead and give zem a feel, if you?d like?? Anni nodded and grabbed one of the tanned orbs from below, and Tuicia gasped. ?Annee, your ?ands are cold!? ?Nah, your boobs are warm.? The two felt Tuicia?s slowly growing rack for a bit in silence, barring Tuicia?s odd moans, until her breasts leveled off at about the size of basketballs.


Tuicia cupped them as best she could, lifting them and feeling them. ?Ooh? Ah always loved ?ow sensitive and beautiful ze buxom spell makes zem?? ?So what about Carline then?? Tuicia let her breasts down, quickly returning to her worry. ?Ah? Ah do not know what to do about ?er?? She trailed off, then looked nervous and yet again played with her hair. ?Ah mean? ?ow do Ah approach her on it? Ah cannot just walk up to ?er and say, ?Bonjour, ma Madame! ?ave you gotten over your ?usband yet, because Ah love you and want to be wizh you.?? ?I don?t know. Tuicia. Again. I was fourteen. FOURTEEN. Last time I interacted with not the same twenty people every day.? ?Ah know, but? what if she rejects moi? Ah know she loves me too, but what if somesing doesn?t work, and? she? and what if Ah ruin our relationship forever? She is ze only sing zat keeps me going?? Now she just held her hair tight and squeezed it, very nervous.


Anni sighed, and began to speak, knowing she was going to regret this. ?Tuicia, this will probably be the most sick, perverted thing I?ve ever done, but?? She reached for the glass of milk that she had lying on her bedside table. She then held it out to the distressed woman. ?Wh-what is zat?? ?It?s? my milk from a bit ago. Normally I j-just dump it, but? I figure since you said you like the taste, maybe it?ll calm you, or?? Tuicia reached for the glass with a trembling hand. ?A-are you sure, Annee? Zis is very-? ?J-just do it before I think over how fucked-up this is!?


Tuicia took the glass and downed it in slow gulps. She handed it back to Anni, who refused to look at her as she took it. ?Merci, Annee?? Annee still looked away, dwelling again on what had happened prior to the conversation. ?So you did see everything then, right?? ?Oui?? Anni sighed. ?Dammit.? ?Annee? Ah don?t mean to bring it up more zan it needs to be, but? when you covered yourself? Ah noticed you went for your legs right away?? ?Yeah? And?? ?Why did you? Especially when it meant leaving your bosom uncovered??


Anni blushed a bit, and turned her head further away so Tuicia couldn?t see. ?Well, as you?ve seen now, one?s pretty hopelessly disfigured? but it?s also a cultural thing?? ?Oh?? ?Yeah? F-for a Gatznian woman, baring your legs in anything but the most intimate of moments is like? it?s like if right now, tits out and milk mustache and everything, you were to start walking around out there. But worse.? Tuicia wiped her face at the notice. ?Ah ?ad ?ad no idea zat your ?ome?? ?And hell,? Anni continued, gesturing to the light clothing she had on. ?Wearing what I am now back home would probably get me branded a skank.? ?Annee, Ah ?ave been wondering? ?ow did we end up taking you in aneeway?? ?What do you mean?? ?Well, if you were fourteen, and you ?ave a functioning family, zen??? ?Oh, that. I ran away from home.? ?What?? ?You heard me.? ?But Anni, ?ow could you?? ?A number of reasons. Stupid fucking Melietti, stupid fucking everyone comparing me to her and wishing I was more like her, stupid fucking- okay, so it?s pretty much her fault.?


?But Annee! What about ?ow zey feel? It ?as been six years since zen! Do zey even know if you are alright?? ?Well, yeah, duh. I still write them. I even just sent a letter a few days ago.? Tuicia pondered the new information she?d been given. ?Does Madame know about zese circumstances?? ?No, and I would appreciate if she continued to not know. I?m twenty years old. I can make decisions myself. I have an apprenticeship under a kind and powerful sorceress, and I think I?ve done rather well for myself on my own.? Tuicia rested her chin in her hand and stared at Anni a while. ?Very well. All of ze sings we ?ave talked about today shall remain secret zen.? Anni nodded. ?Now? if you could put zese back to normal, Ah would like to go to work.?


Anni snapped her fingers, and Tuicia?s breasts snapped back to their regular size as fast as a balloon deflating. ?Whoo! Annee, ?ow did-? ?What, Carline?s the only one allowed to experiment with that spell?? ?Hmph.? Tuicia pulled her bustier over herself again, and got up and made for the door. ?Ah believe Madame earlier said she wished to give you anozher lesson in not long from now, so?? Tuicia trailed off and opened the door. She turned back toward Anni as she stood in the doorway. ?Sank you for zis discussion, Annee. We may ?ave ?ad our friction in ze past, but? you are a true friend.? She turned and shut it, while a small, warm smile showed on Anni?s face, which she quickly tried to hide.

Hm... I realized there's not many chapters of this left. Sad day.

Chapter 25

__________________________________________________ _


“Those two really are friendly, once you get to know them.” “Oui, Madame.” “’s too bad Penelope didn’t speak a word of English. Communicating through you was hella awkward.” “Mm…” Carline and Tuicia were walking back to Cecily’s car, which they’d borrowed again for their second trip to fix J?rmafi. She’d found a way to fix her skin properly in her research, and true to her word, she returned J?rmafi’s bust to normal as well. However, the woman insisted she not put them completely back to normal. Afterwards, since her friend had been there, and it was late, she insisted that the two stay the night.


Carline had noticed, though, that Tuicia was being rather evasive lately. Not in physical presence, but she wasn’t very conversational. That was odd, since normally she delighted in the presence of Carline. “So where did you park it, again?” “Over ‘ere, somewhere, Ah sink…” “Why didn’t you just park in her driveway?” “Ah don’t know…” They reached the vehicle, and Tuicia put the keys in the driver’s door, but stopped before unlocking it. “M-madame…” “What?” “Um… since we are alone for ze moment…” She hesitated, as though unsure of whether she wanted to continue or not. “Z-zere is somesing Ah want to ask you…” “Oh? What is it?” “Madame… do you-”


“Je le savais!” Came a voice, startling both of them. “Je savais que j’avais entendu la voix de ma petite Cici!” Tuicia froze up at the words. “Merde…” She whispered to herself. A woman came out, curiously, from inside a bush. The strange watcher was tall and also somewhat gangly. She had on a simple outfit highlighting her slender body; yoga pants with a midriff baring shirt, both in a light, pale green. Her hair was also green, but in a different shade, a fern green. It was pulled tight, into a braided ponytail that was unnervingly reminiscent of a scorpion’s tail. She looked as though she was probably mid-thirties, and had seen a few better days, looking slightly unkempt. Something about her seemed off, but Carline could not place it.


The purple-eyed woman approached the two, brushing off the various things from her odd hiding spot, and Tuicia stood frozen in her spot. “Alors? Comment ma Cici se porte-t-elle?” she asked. “?a va. C-?a va.” Tuicia answered flatly. “Bien, c'est bien.” Carline looked between the two. “Who is that? What are you talking about?” “Oh! My apologies!” The woman said, promptly switching language. “I didn’t know you were an English speaker! Cici, ‘ow about you introduce moi?” “M-Madame…” Tuicia said in a small voice, gesturing shakily toward the woman. “Zis… zis is Madame Gartave…” “Oui. Pleased to meet you, Madame…?” “Carline.” She said, extending her arm to meet the other in her offered handshake. As she did, she felt a small jolt and a bit of a glow. “Ah. You are a powerful sorceress, no? So that is where you ‘ave been all this time then, is it, Cici? With ‘er?”


Tuicia came around the car to the same side as the two sorceresses, suddenly subdued and submissive. Gelly looked her up and down. “Mon Dieu… Cici, you ‘ave gotten even more beautiful since you left moi…” Tuicia blushed a bit and became rather interested in the curb. “M-merci, Madame…” “You ‘ave filled out so slightly, but so nicely…” She walked over to her and looked down her shirt. She then lightly stroked one of her breasts, to which Tuicia shivered, but otherwise did not react. Carline opened her mouth, but Gelly just went on. “Your breasts… they ‘ave gotten a bit bigger… so very soft and full, and yet so firm…” “Madame…”


Carline had no idea whether she was being referred to, or Gelly was. But she stood, watching the scene, unsure of whether to intervene or not. Tuicia, while plainly somewhat embarrassed, was not acting as though this was unusual of Gelly. Carline did note, though, that she felt an odd twinge of jealousy. Gelly let go of Tuicia’s chest, and gently grabbed and brought up her chin to look her in the face. “And you ‘ave matured in the face in the years you ‘ave gone… you look very lovely, Cici.” “Merci, Madame, but Ah-” Gelly wasn’t really listening, and walked around behind her. “Ooh… this is wonderful. Your butt ‘as gotten so big… you have such a womanly lower ‘alf…” Just then, to Carline’s surprise, she yanked up Tuicia’s skirt to expose a panty shot. “Oh… she is so plump and ripe… you ‘ave developed so nicely, Cici…”


At that, Tuicia jerked forward away from her. Gelly seemed surprised. “Cici… what is ze matter? ‘ave I done something wrong?” “Madame Gartave,” she started hesitantly, as though it was taking a great deal of effort for her to say it, but cut straight to it. “Ah am no longer affiliated wizh you. Ah ‘ave… Ah ‘ave grown up, and Ah ‘ave left. Ah… Ah am sorry, Madame, but… ze bird ‘as left ze nest.” Gelly looked disheartened, but also got to the point. “Please, Cici. They… they took everything from me. They took the brothel… they took my fortune… even now they ‘unt me… you are the only one ‘oo still-” “N-no, Madame! Ah will not be used for your sick desires! Not… not aneemore! Madame Gartave, what you need to do is turn yourself in for ze sings you ‘ave done! You ‘ave… you ‘ave run illicite operations for years, you ‘ave forced a teenage girl into your vile business, and now when you ‘ave finally been stopped, you spitefully cursed ze one ‘oo did it! Ze least you can do is… is go and give yourself to ze Knights, and per’aps keep ze tiny amount of respect Ah still ‘ave for you!”


Gelly blankly stared at her for a moment, and then backed away, putting both Tuicia and Carline in her field of vision. “So this is ‘ow you thank me…” She said, in a suddenly weary voice. “I gave you a ‘ome, and I took care of you, and I loved you, and this is what I get…” “Per’aps from your perspective it was love, Madame Gartave, but-” “Again! Again with the ‘Madame Gartave’! Why am I no longer just ‘Madame’?” “Because…” Tuicia said, walking over to where Carline stood. She put her arms around one of Carline’s, holding it close. “Madame Carline… she is now ma Madame. And she always will be.”


Given the moment, Carline suppressed her flattery over the comment. Gelly did not look so amused. “Carline. Carline Marzelaei. Oui, I thought your name sounded familiar. I know of you. Carline Marzelaei, that foul, evil sorceress ‘oo lives in ‘er mansion off of civilization. But no. I ‘ave been ‘earing zat you ‘ave turned yourself around. You ‘ave gone soft. No, rather, scratch that. You ‘ave pretty much always been soft. When I ‘eard about you, I was actually a bit frightened. You burst onto the scene with an explosive start; more than two ‘undred deaths, as I recall. And then after that… nothing. You petered out and did not a single thing. For eight straight years. Sure, you terrorized a town every now and then, but what did you do? You stole back with you books. Books.”


“So what? Maybe I was sick of being known as something I’m not.” “Then why did you kill them?” “It was… it was an accident!” “One ‘ell of an accident.” Carline did not respond, but both pairs of purple eyes glared into each other. “But enough of that.” Gelly looked back to Tuicia, her expression immediately softening. “Cici… please, think about this. You do not know what you are saying. You are the only thing I have left now… I need you…”


Tuicia bit her lip, trying to not budge an inch. “Madame, please, Ah am telling you… turn yourself in… Ah will put in words for you, in ‘opes zat your punishment is not so very ‘arsh… Zen maybe after zat, ‘owever long zey keep you… Maybe… maybe zen we can…” “Don’t you know what they’ll do to me? Cici, they’ll keep my magic from me. I’m already so old… I wouldn’t be able to survive like that for long…” Tuicia looked down, unsure of what to say. “Cici… we could… we could just go. Somewhere else. You and I. Start up the business again. This time ‘ave you in an executive position, as my equal…” “No! Madame Gartave, enough wizh ze brozhel! It was an evil sing!” “Then we’ll do another thing! I don’t care! Just come back with me…” “Ah… Ah cannot, Madame… you are abusive, psychologically and emotionally…” “I can change, Cici…” “No! You cannot! You clearly will not, since you are still ze same now as you were zen! You are playing wizh mes emotions, guilting moi into zis, just as you would ‘ave when Ah was zere!” Gelly was taken aback at her words. “Cici…” “Just get wizh us, into ze car. Ah will take you to Dame J?rmafi, and Ah will be sure zat zey do not sentence you past what is reasonable. Please, Madame, at least show me zat you ‘ave some form of repentance for what you ‘ave done!”


Gelly was quiet for a bit following that. “So…” She said, her voice rough again. “This is how it’s gonna be then. Your loyalty lies with this sorceress now.” “Oui.” “I won’t ‘ave it.” “Pardonnez?” “I won’t. ‘AVE IT!” Gelly roared, her hands suddenly glowing a violent red. She fiercely threw her arm sideways, and Cecily’s car was thrown into the street carelessly. Tuicia shrieked, and Carline immediately jumped to attention, priming herself for whatever Gelly did next. “I will not allow this! If I cannot ‘ave Cici, then I won’t let you ‘ave ‘er either!” She said, pointing an accusing finger at Carline.


She threw another spell, which Carline recognized as the same variety, and blocked it appropriately. “So you know ‘ow to defend… very nice…” Gelly switched to a bright yellow, which Carline recognized and also promptly blocked. This went on for a bit, Carline noting with worry that the spells Gelly was using were getting more and more deadly. “You cannot keep that up forever, Carline. Sooner or later, I will get you, just like I got that J?rmafi. But this time I do not feel so forgiving…”


Carline took the opportunity of her talking to throw out a spell of her own, which Gelly hastily stopped. “About time you went on the offensive! Let’s see what you can do!” Now the two traded blows, each skillfully blocked by the other. Tuicia stood by helplessly, having not brought any form of weapon but her own body, and she had the feeling that trying to attack Gelly head on at the moment was useless. She looked around at the houses not far from them. “Doesn’t anyone hear this? Someone, help us!”


Gelly threw a spell Carline didn’t recognize, and it knocked her to the ground hard. “Madame!” Tuicia cried, and was immediately at her side. “You keep away from ‘er, Cici! I cannot bear to ‘ave ‘er take you from me! Not for even longer!” “Madame, you ‘ave lost your mind!” She tugged on Carline’s arm to get her back up. “Madame! Get up! ‘urry!” Carline was somewhat stunned from the blow, but got back to her feet while Gelly sportingly waited. “Already you are slipping? ‘ow sad. I expected more of you.” “Yeah? Then how about this?”


Her hands glowed pink, but it was not the normal color; it seemed livelier. Gelly took it straight on, unsure of how to block it. “What was that? Is that really what I think…?” “It’s a little something I’ve been experimenting with. I call it the buxom spell.” “Buxom spell? The name evokes something I am familiar with… but ‘ow do you expect it to save you?” She tried slinging another spell, one that she had set to bust her opponent’s skin, but she felt blocked up. “That is not right…” She tried again, and again, but to no avail; in fact, she could instead feel a bit of pressure building in her chest. “So it is what I thought. I know this spell.”


Gelly put to work the counterspell for it, but to her surprise, nothing happened. She felt her bust jump forward a bit as well. “Qu'est-ce que ceci? Comment ce fait-il que je ne peux...?” She tried the counterspell again, but her breasts just swelled a bit bigger. “’ow are you doing this?” She futilely did it, again and again, and each time her breasts bounded forward, tightening her shirt. By the third or fourth, she also felt a light tingling within her chest. She stopped her magic, and grasped her swollen breasts, which had gone from softballs to larger grapefruits, while Carline watched smugly. “What the ‘ell did you do? Answer moi!” “Oh, it’s something my apprentice and I have been fine-tuning for the last week or so. Y’see, I took some anti-magic technology from the Knights, and integrated it with one of my personal favorite spells.” “You… anti-magic…” Gelly was slowly coming to the realization. “Yep. Every time you cast a spell, your boobs get bigger.”


“No! I will not be stopped by something like this! There is no way it can keep up with all of my…” She cast another, pouring more energy into it, and she felt her breasts continuously fill up. She felt them get large and heavy, beginning to pull her shirt above their bottoms. In response she just put in more, ignoring Carline’s disbelieving stare. “I can sense it not keeping up with moi… I will pass its effects shortly…” She put in more and more, her claim looking validated by the fact that her breasts were no longer increasing in rate with her effort.


But then, as she passed what she felt was the threshold, Gelly felt the tingling in her chest reach a peak. Her breasts spasmed, and she felt a faint dampness at her nipples. At that, she cut off her magic and looked down, and saw, with shock, that she seemed to be… “Lactating? What is…?” “Y-yes,” Carline said, surprised by it. “I predicted that it might not keep up sometimes, so I found a secondary way to divert the magic…”


Gelly put her hands down firmly over her hard, leaking nipples, and she could feel that her breasts were still growing from her recent magic. “D-damn you!” She looked around, seeking an escape route, and as she did so, her breasts slipped out beneath her shirt. “Oh! N-non! Stop it!” She dropped to her knees, struggling with the somewhat pleasurable feeling of her milk flowing down her palms. “My… my seins… they are…” Gelly trailed off, sitting in silence as her volleyball breasts swelled, but slowed.


Carline then turned to Tuicia. “She’s done. That spell’s gonna last some time, so she’s of no danger. I’m gonna go fetch J?rmafi; wait here and watch her.” She disappeared, leaving the other two alone. They sat awhile, while Tuicia nervously held one arm. “Madame… Ah am sorry to see you like zis… but you must…” Gelly looked up at her former adoptee.


[author’s note: this entire conversation is in French, so it’s more convenient to just present it in English]


“Cici… Tuicia… please… you can still help me.” “N-no. You’ve brought this on yourself, Madame Gartave. You were going to kill my Madame. I can’t forgive you for that.” “Cici… please… you were all… all that I…” “Madame, if you would at least accept this gracefully…” “You have a car, right over there… we could… you could help me escape…” “No, Madame.” “I can… Cici, your parents. I know where they are. I-” “What?” Tuicia was in disbelief. There was no way she could have known, not all this time, not without telling her! And to reveal it only now? “You’re bluffing.” “No, honest! Monsieur Aimeric, Madame Jeanette? I know them. I could… I could take you to them! And your younger sister, Rosaire! I know her too! She has become a successful young woman! I could reunite you with them, all of them!” Tuicia hesitated. Gelly was correct on all of their names. But could she really…?


Tuicia looked up and saw Carline in the distance, with J?rmafi and Penelope behind her. Judging by how she was acting, she didn’t seem to remember where she’d left them. Now would be a perfect opportunity to just up and leave. But that would mean leaving Carline behind. But it couldn’t be for too long… all she would need to do is take Gelly to… to somewhere else. And after all, she was the woman who raised her, flawed as her methods were, in lieu of her actual mother. And to get a chance at last to see her family, after two whole decades, to find out why they’d…


She held the car keys in her hand, staring at them in deep thought. “Well?” Gelly asked impatiently, having switched back to English. She was trying to find a comfortable way to hold her breasts, which had stopped now, the size of watermelons. Whenever they moved, it seemed they were stimulated to excrete a tiny bit of milk. Tuicia let out a deep sigh. “Ah am sorry, ma Madame…”


She stuck her arm straight up, waving it back and forth, and called out. “Madame! We are over ‘ere!” Carline heard and saw her, and began to hurry over. Gelly looked down. “You little shit.” Carline, J?rmafi, and Penelope reached them, the last one looking incredibly surprised. “Qu'est-ce que vous lui avez fait?” J?rmafi ignored translating her question, all business. “I thought you were still with moi, that you had any sense of loyalty at all!” Gelly told Tuicia. “You worthless bitch! I gave you your chance, and I took you in when you were in need, and you’ve spat in my face!” J?rmafi grabbed her by the arm and began to walk her away, while Penelope continued to stare incredulously at her chest. Gelly did not struggle, but continued shouting over her shoulder. “I will get back, Cici, and I will not forgive you for your actions! I will punish you most dearly! Your famille was right in abandoning you!”


Tuicia watched them go in silence. Carline walked up behind her and put a hand on her shoulder. “Tuicia…” “Let’s just go, Madame.” They went to the car, and, finding that it didn’t have any particularly noticeable damage, got in and left. Tuicia did not speak a word the whole way.

Chapter 26

__________________________________________________ ____

Carline lazed in her bed, twirling a lock of her still only shoulder-length dark hair. It was a day where she didn’t particularly feel like fooling with magic. So, she’d been reading several books of hers that she’d been putting off, and even managed to get one finished. Now she was a bit into a novel that she had aside a while. As she read, though, she came upon a bit of a surprise. The book she read was surprisingly less… wholesome… than she’d thought. But she read on anyway, her face taking on a light red hue as she did. She scooted up from her casual position, to a more upright one, and found her free hand lying just over her crotch. It had been a while since she’d read a book so… erotic.


However, she heard a knock on the door before she started anything. She quickly stowed the book beneath her pillow, and took a moment to steady herself, before calling out a “Come in!” Tuicia entered, and gave a slight bow. “’ow are you doing, Madame?” “Um, fine. What’s up?” “Zere is a visitor for you. She said somesing about being asked to come ‘ere?” “Odd. I can’t recall sending for someone for anything.” Carline swung her legs over the side of her bed, and followed Tuicia out.


“So Tuicia, I’ve been wondering… what happened between you and Gelly that day last week? That led to her screaming at you like she did?” “Oh! She was… making false, ‘orrible, lie-ridden promises to moi, trying to get moi to ‘ide ‘er away from you. But Ah ‘eld strong, Madame. Ah would not ‘ave it.” Carline could hear a bit of uncertainty in her voice. “Tuicia… she wasn’t lying, was she?” Tuicia stopped walking. “She was telling the truth, with whatever she was promising, wasn’t she?” “Y-yes…” She began to tremble. “She… Madame Gartave, she told ze truth, Ah could tell… she… would’ve taken moi to see ma famille…” “Tuicia…” “Ah… Ah could ‘ave seen zem again… my mozher and fazher…” A few tears began to form. “Ah could ‘ave… could ‘ave found out why zey… why zey would so ‘eartlessly…”


She was surprised as Carline quickly pulled her into a hug. “It’s alright, Tuicia. Don’t you start crying.” “B-but,” she said, beginning to fail what Carline just told her, hard as she tried not to. “Madame Gartave, she got to moi… s-she… she… even zough Ah know she is a terrible person, she pulls off being so pitiable… and she was r-right… she did take moi in when Ah was in need, terrible person or not…” “If it means that much to you, what she was saying, then we can go out and find them ourselves, Tuicia. Together.” “M-merci, Madame! Ah… Ah don’t sink Ah am ready on my own, but… if you would be so caring as to…” She trailed off, while Carline held her close. After standing like that for a minute or two, Tuicia separated from her, wiping her eyes. “Ah sink Ah will need a moment to compose myself. Go on wizhout moi.” Carline nodded, and continued to the foyer.


“She keeps herself so level most of the time… I keep forgetting what she’s actually been through…” She arrived there as she ran various thoughts in her head, several about how nice holding Tuicia like that felt, and saw a woman patiently waiting. “Oh, hello. Um…” She looked over the woman. She was roughly Carline’s age, probably a bit younger. She had red-brown hair, evenly cut just below her shoulders, and a simple outfit, of a moderately-cut light purple shirt, and dull orange pants. She didn’t look familiar to Carline at all. “My apologies for asking, but… who are you?” “I’m Dee Wrennel. I perform a simple job; I am very proficient at detecting magic.” “Oh… um… might I ask why you’re here?” “I received a letter asking for my services.” She pulled a folded up letter from her pocket and held it out. “It was anonymous, and did not specify what to be looking for, but did include your address, so…”


Carline took it and read, but didn’t recognize the (pretty bad) handwriting. She sat in thought. Who would’ve sent that? Checking for magic in a place like this was pretty useless. “Are you sure it wasn’t just a prank? You… do know who I am, right?” “Yes. Carline Marzelaei. Instigator of the Redlich Massacre.” “So why are you here, then? You know what kind of ‘dangerous’ person I am. Don’t you fear me?” “Not hardly. The fact that you have not caused a single death since, and that you have done nothing antagonistic in almost a year is suspect. Let alone that you saved a Knight from a crippling curse.” “You… you know about that?” “Of course I know. You think Dame J?rmafi kept quiet about it? And that’s not even getting into the bigger thing you did of successfully taking down Gelly Gartave.”


Carline could feel a bit of sunshine on the inside. Could it be? Could her good deeds finally be becoming known? Might this finally be the start of the overturn of her terrible reputation? “Oh,” she said, trying to hide her sudden excitement. “Okay then. So… uh… I guess start detecting stuff? I’m really not sure what to be looking for.” “Alright. This whole thing was probably just a prank, but since I’m in a good mood, and here anyway…” Dee closed her eyes. “Well, obviously, you have incredible magic, both in potency and extent. I can sense another, similar to you, but lesser in capacity and greater in power.” “That’s gotta be my apprentice.” “Aaand… I can feel a few others… they aren’t full blown. Just low sorceresses.” “A few? I thought the only one was Denise?” “…why do you tell me by name? I have no idea what their names are.”


Carline thought over her employees. She didn’t think any but Denise had any form of magic. Or… was someone here who should not be? “Let’s see…” Dee continued. “If I’m getting my auras or whatever right, then one is, judging by her motions, applying lipstick while talking to someone, rather casually.” “That’s gotta be Denise. I gotta get her to stop slacking off.” “The other is harder to detect, she’s very faint, little magic… she’s… pretty bottom-heavy, I think; it feels like she… er… carries a lot of weight behind her, if you catch my drift.”


Carline reviewed those in the mansion. She did have a few large-reared women under her, in part thanks to her and Anni’s escapades with the buxom spell. Heck, even Denise included. “Erm… could you go into more detail?” Dee opened her eyes. “What? You mean someone with a huge butt isn’t specific enough? What kind of people do you employ?” Carline just gave her a look. “Yeah, okay, fine.” She closed her eyes again, reaching out to where she had been. “Um… she has her arm behind her, hand closed around something… I think she’s leading someone somewhere.” “Oh?” “Yes. She seems kind of in a rush.” Dee paused. “In fact, I can continuously feel her field more clearly. I do believe they’re coming this way.” “Wha?” Carline then heard a high voice protesting.


“No, Cecily, it’s fine, really. Honest!” “Are you serious? You have to get this checked out! What’s the matter with you?” Carline recognized the two lovers’ voices. “Miss, do you know where Miss Ombruge-” Carline turned around, and Cecily jumped. “OH! I’m sorry! I didn’t recognize you from behind, w-with the… with the hair…” She gestured at about neck level to indicate Carline’s hair length. “Don’t remind me.” “S-sorry.”


“So wait,” Carline said, turning her head back to Dee. “Are you telling me she is the one you felt?” “Yep, loud and clear now.” Cecily seemed to forget what she was doing as she stood with a confused look. “Who’s feeling me?” She asked, letting go of Allie’s wrist to cross her arms over her chest defensively. “No, not like that. This is Dee.” Carline said, gesturing to her, and she did a friendly wave. “She’s a magic detector thing. She claims that you’ve got some latent magic or somesuch.” “I… what? Me?” Dee nodded. “Yep.” “N-no I don’t. I don’t have any magic. Are you sure it’s not Allie?”


Allie looked inquisitive for a moment, before Dee announced “Nope. Not her. It’s you.” Allie looked briefly almost disappointed, but it was barely perceptible. Cecily seemed excited. “I’m… I’m a sorceress!” She bounced up and down like a giddy schoolgirl, until she realized something. “Um… how do I use it?” “Well, it normally comes naturally, so I guess just keep doing your thing till you notice something.” “Really? Poop. I thought it was gonna be like some big flashy…”


She shook her head. “Wait, no, don’t distract me! Allie is-” Cecily turned around and saw that Allie had snuck away in that short time. “No! Allie, come back!” Cecily started to run after her, but was stopped short when she saw Anni coming out of that same hallway with her in tow. “Seriously, Cecily? All I tell you to do is take her to someone who knows what they’re doing, and-” She saw Dee as she came closer. “Who the hell?” Carline sighed as she had to introduce her again. “Dee. Magic detector. Don’t know why she’s here. But what are you going on about with Allie?”


“N-nothing, Miss, it’s nothing… they making a big deal about nothing.” “Like hell it’s nothing! Carline, look at this!” Anni grabbed Allie’s right arm and held it up, showing it wrapped in a few layers of white cloth. Allie winced and quickly jerked it away. “D-do you mind, Miss Annilitia?” “No. Now…” She grabbed it again, and Allie yanked it away again. “Dammit, stop it!” “Then stop grabbing it!” “Both of you stop!” Carline said authoritatively. “What are you trying to show me?” “It’s Allie, Miss Carline! Her arm, it’s- she’s-” Cecily traced a line down her arm with her finger.


Trying to figure out what the hell that meant, Carline got closer to Allie. “Allie, if you don’t mind…” “Miss, please, it’s nothing. I’m fine.” “Allie…” She said with the tone of an exasperated mother. At that, the maid submissively held her arm out to her. Carline took a moment to find the end of the cloth, and began to unravel it. Her eyes widened as she got down a layer and noticed a distinct red streak in it. Another down and the streak was much longer, wider, and redder. The last layer was almost the entire length of her arm and very red, stained with what was clearly blood. Somewhat on edge now, Carline finished unraveling it, and gasped at the sight within, while Dee had to turn her head away and cover her eyes. Allie had a long gash running down her arm, going from mid-bicep to almost her wrist.


“Allie! What the hell!?” “I’m sorry, miss… I accidentally cut myself on… on a knife, while helping Jessica wash dishes.” “You ‘accidentally’ cut the entire length of your arm?!” “Y-yes… you know I’m clumsy…” Carline didn’t believe a word of it. “Allie, how did this happen?” “I just told you, miss! Go get Jessica, she’ll back me up!” “Allie!” Cecily said. “Please, don’t be like this! What did you do to yourself?” “N-nothing! What, you think I’m self-abusive or something?” Cecily gave her a pitiful look. “Allie…” “Well, I’m not! Why would I be? So everyone j-just leave me alone!” She stormed off. “No, Allie, wait! Get back here!” Cecily followed her. Carline muttered to herself. “Shit, that’s not good. It’s recent too… What the hell is she doing?” She went off to fetch Tuicia, but remembered something. “… oh! Anni, if you could be a dear and occupy Dee for me…” “Wait! No, you-!”


But Carline was already walking away by then. Anni turned back to Dee, uncomfortably scratching the back of her head. “Um… well… hi? It’s not normally this dramatic here.” Dee separated her fingers, peeking through them to be sure that the sight was gone. On seeing it was, she dropped her hand and cleared her throat. “Sorry. I have a pretty weak stomach. If you don’t mind my asking, you are…?” “Her apprentice.” “I see. Anni Julipeit, if I’m recalling my data.” “Annilitia.” She corrected. There was a moment of awkward silence after that. “Um… so… just so I can tell Carline later, what kind of payment are you looking for for this?” “No need, it’s fine. I was half-expecting this to be a prank job anyway, so-”


She suddenly cut off. “A-actually, there is one thing, now that I think about it. I’ve, um, heard some stories about your mistress here…” “…what kind of stories?” “Well… um…” Dee looked incredibly uncomfortable. “Talk has spread about Carline again, but this time about something quite different. There’ve been rumors going around that she’s… um… that she’s discovered a spell for… for making women’s breasts bigger.” Anni stared at her in silence a moment, and then broke out laughing. “W-what’s so funny?” “Oh lord! I can’t- I can’t wait until she catches wind of this! Pfffhaaha!” “Why? Is it a bad thing?” “HELL no!” Anni laughed herself out, and then wiped her eyes.


“No, not at all. Carline… you have no idea how happy she’ll be when she hears this.” “Why’s that?” “You have no idea how long she’s been trying to get out of the way she’s been viewed. If this is seriously the way it’s turning…” “S-so, um… is it by chance true?” “YEAH it’s true.” She pointed to her own bosom. “I went up an entire cup size with it!” “Oh, wow! Is it… slow acting, then? I mean, if you’ve known it for so long-” “Hardly! I only did this by choice. You wouldn’t believe how big they can get, and how fast.” Anni momentarily reflected on Miara for the truth of that statement.


“Then… do you happen to know the spell?” “’course I do.” Even though it was obvious where she was going from here, Dee tapped her toes into the ground nervously. “Then, um…” She stopped. “T-they are real, right?” “Yeah! What would be the point of a spell for fake tits?” “O-okay. You see, um… I’m pretty… small there.” She indicated her chest, which as she said, was unimpressive. “And, um… I’ve always wanted… bigger breasts. And, if I know my husband, I’m sure he’d really appreciate it too.” “So how big are we talking here?” Dee got excited. “So you’ll do it then?” “You kidding? I love using this spell!”


Dee pondered her question. “I want them big, but not so big that they limit me, y’know?” “Alright then, some nice big boobies coming up!” Her hands glowed, and Dee closed her eyes and braced herself. Instead of the impact that she was expecting, it was more like a gentle caress. “Oh… my, this feels wonderful. How fitting for a spell like this…”


Her nipples perked up, and she blushed. “Oh!” She put her hands over the offending bits. “S-sorry! I didn’t think it was quite like that!” “Nah, ‘s fine. I’ve seen so many nipples from doing this, clothed and not.” Dee nodded. “Okay.” She said, slowly and reluctantly letting her hands drift off of them. “If you weren’t a woman, I probably would be much more reserved about this.” Dee then felt the pleasure that came with it. “Oh! Ooh… is this part of it?” “My bad! No, it doesn’t need to be. Want me to-” “No, it’s actually quite alright…”


Then, to her delight, her breasts began filling up. She clapped a hand over her mouth in her excitement. “My… they’re actually growing!” She cautiously brought up her other hand, and lightly touched a swelling mound. It felt wonderful, and she happily felt it more. “Oh! This is… these are… ohhh yes~” She brought the other hand down to join the first in her light yet thorough fondling.


The space between her breasts that was exposed by her neckline was filling with wonderful cleavage. And the causes of said cleavage were looking wonderful themselves, shaping and rounding up as they increased in size. Cupping them in her hands, she noticed her breasts were actually a good handful now. She felt them with excitement, almost unaware that Anni was still standing right in front of her. She was so very happy about it, in fact, that she didn’t realize her simultaneous arousal, and she moaned sensually. She put her hand over her mouth again, speaking a “Sorry!” from behind it.


She went in again with a bit more clear head, feeling her soft mounds with glee. She let go, suddenly curious, and bounced up and down a bit. Though mostly kept steady by her bra, her breasts did bounce animatedly as best they could. Dee’s blush increased on seeing it. She stopped and listened to the quiet sounds of her shirt stretching to contain her bosom. “Oh… there’re so many things I wanna try with these, I can’t even decide…” She spoke more directly to Anni. “I-if you could… ooh… if you could excuse me for a moment…”


She walked over to a corner off the room, and looked over her shoulder. Anni got the hint and politely turned away. After watching her a moment to make sure she stayed that way, Dee turned her attention back to her chest. Her breasts had her shirt tight, a large amount of cleavage showing in it. She lifted her shirt up, over her swelling globes, and left it around her neck as best she could, while not obscuring her view. They bounced again from the motion, and Dee smiled. “Oh, Martin is going to love these…” Even without their cotton cover, they still looked pretty big. Her bra was plenty tight, and didn’t cover near what it used to. She could even see it making a slight indent in the soft flesh of her chest. She debated just taking it off, but was far too modest for that. So she just poked her hard nipple, and then began to feel her soft flesh, now that no shirt was between her and them. She bit down on her lip to keep from making noise as she did so.


After a bit of this, during which she sat on the line of vocalizing her pleasure, she was sure her breasts were finished. Dee stopped, letting out a quiet, suppressed moan. She looked them over, determining that they had to be DDs, probably even small Es, and that her bra was way too tight. She grudgingly unclasped it against her vow of a few seconds ago, and took it off, and pulled her shirt down over her new bosom before any freak accident resulted in her bare chest being seen. She looked it over, somewhat dissatisfied with the way her enlarged nipples protruded through her shirt, but hoped that it wouldn’t be as noticeable when they weren’t hard. She also noticed that the shirt no longer covered her midriff, something she sound somewhat amusing. Though it did mean that she’d probably need to get a bigger top; a tight, revealing one like this was too casual for her tastes.


She went back over to Anni, letting her bra dangle in her hand, and called to her. The apprentice looked up, and Dee grabbed her in a big hug. “Thank you!” She said, with a most childish sincerity. Anni couldn’t help but be a bit turned on by the feeling of the woman’s large chest squishing against her side. “Y-you’re welcome.” “This was better than any payment!” Dee said, letting go of Anni. She lifted her breasts from below. “I mean, look at these!” Anni did just that, taking in how tight her shirt was on them, and how they showed their pale roundness from her newly low neckline. No matter how many she blew up like this, she would never get tired of looking at boobs, she didn’t think. Dee continued in her joyous rambling. “They’re so big, and so obviously real! So soft, and jiggly, and even my nipples got a bit bigger too, and more sensitive! I mean, just having my shirt rub them-” She looked back at Anni, who had turned her head away, seemingly out of modesty, with a deep red hue to her face. “Oh! Sorry.” She let them drop, greatly enjoying how they bounced from their own weight. She looked thoughtfully past Anni, talking out loud to herself. “I bet he’ll love them too, once I get back. The first night with these babies’ll be wonderful~” Anni also believed that she would never get tired of people’s reactions to being buxomized. Still, she was deep in thought as well, but on something decidedly different. Back to what she and Cecily had discovered earlier that day.


“What was up with Allie, anyway?”

Well, here we go. One I've been building toward for some time. Let's see how well I did.

Chapter 27

__________________________________________________ ____

?Allie!? Carline called. There was no form of response. ?Dammit!? She hurried along. Since seeing her arm yesterday, Carline had tried to get the truth out of her, but she was evasive, and the entire conversation went in circles for hours. She?d finally dismissed her, telling Cecily after she left to keep a close eye on her. But now, she?d apparently been lost. Cecily came in earlier crying that she couldn?t find her anywhere, so now Carline had everyone in the mansion looking.


Carline still didn?t understand it though. Allie hadn?t had anything resembling a history of that? Why would she hurt herself like that? As far as Carline knew, her life was going wonderfully. She had a great relationship with her girlfriend, she was happy living in the mansion? why would she?? ?Madame!? Tuicia called out, coming around the corner. ?What?? ?Ah ?ave been sinking? per?aps we are going about zis all wrong? Ah mean, ?ow can we know it was ?er ?oo did it aneeway?? ??you did see it, right?? ?Yes, Ah know, it could not be accidental. But what if? what if someone else did it to ?er? What if someone else cut ?er like zat, and maybe zey z?reatened ?er to keep quiet about it?? ??what.? ?Look, Madame, it may seem out zere, but Allie is not ze type of person to do zat to ?erself! ?and besides, Ah ?ave? seen similar situations myself.? ?Maybe, but? fine. Gather up everyone. I?ll be there shortly.? ?Oui, Madame.?


Tuicia rounded the corner she came from again, and Carline turned to go to her bedroom and get something. ?Who the hell would do that?? She thought as she went. ?That?s just? ugh! I swear, if it is any of them, then?? She stepped on something that crinkled beneath her feet. She stepped back, and saw it was a crumpled paper. ?Bah, who?s leaving things lying-? She cut herself off once she inspected it closer, and realized it was the letter sent to Dee. Carline picked it up and smoothed it out. There was one glaring difference, though. Written diagonally across it, in big red lettering, were the words ?STUPID BITCH.? She noticed, disturbingly, a few red dots on the ground as well, leading into the closet next to where it lay.


She thought she heard a whimpering from inside the closet, so she stopped and listened. From within, she heard Allie?s voice, quiet and distressed sounding. ?Please, Hakira? no more? please? it hurts? it hurts so much?? Then her voice changed to a completely different tone, one that sounded sadistic and menacing. ?Shut up, you cunt.? A sharp cry of pain came from within. ?I can?t stop until you learn your lesson, you stupid bitch. You clearly didn?t last time, since Dee is STILL ALIVE.? The last two words were punctuated oddly and forcefully.


Carline tried the door as quietly as she could, but it was locked. The quiet voice came back, and now she sounded like she was in tears. ?P-please! No more! Anything! I?m sorry! I? just? I don?t want to kill anyone!? Carline froze. Killing people!? ?I was o-only here for information! N-never to kill anyone! Please, Hakira! N-no more!? ?But it was your own fault that she was here, ?anonymous letter?. You were trying to get me found out! But then you couldn?t even make up for your misdeed. I mean really, you were set up right by her car, you had the opportunity to set the explosive, but no. You pussied out.? Carline?s eyes widened at that statement, and she considered whether she should try to force her way in or not. ?You?re lucky I need your breasts and fat ass that you so value,? the Hakira voice went on, ?or else I?d be going after them instead. Maybe that?d convince you. Oorr?? She paused dramatically. ?Maybe next time I could target that delicate little lover of yours.? Allie did something between a shriek and a gasp. ?No! Please! Don?t hurt her! I?ll do whatever you say from now on! I won?t undermine you again! Just? no more! I?m begging you! The pain is unbearable!?


??very well. You sound genuine enough.? The Hakira voice lowered. Carline felt magic occurring within; magic to create silence. She stealthily cancelled it out, immensely surprised. The supposed Hakira hadn?t seemed to notice. ?Now listen carefully this time: I can sense your mistress outside the door. She?s been there a long time; I don?t know if she heard any of this, since I?m not sure if I put up the spell powerfully enough. I want you to march right out there, and if she brings it up, tell her you?re schizophrenic, or multiple personality, or something.? ?Th-thank you. I?ll go and-? ?Now just wait! We?re not done here?? ?Wh-what? B-but you? you said-? ?I can?t just let you go now. You can find her later. We?ll finish this first, just to give you a permanent reminder.? ?N-no! Please! Don?t, please, I?m begging-? She started screaming loudly in pain, and Carline immediately crushed the lock and burst in.


Allie was standing inside, only wearing her underwear. She was dragging a long, heavy knife down her arm, cutting it deeply, parallel to the previous wound. Her arm was bleeding heavily, but even though she was screaming piercingly, tears were freely streaming down her face, and the entire rest of her body was trembling, her arms were completely, unflinchingly steady. ?Allie! What the hell are you doing?! Stop!? She moved to her and ripped the knife from her hand. Allie stopped her pained screaming and gasped several deep, shuddering breaths, the instrument no longer tormenting her, and then collapsed.




Several hours later, Allie was lying unconscious in a makeshift hospital bed. Carline, Tuicia, Anni, and Cecily all sat around her. Cecily was softly crying over Allie?s lifeless form, while Carline?s most medically inclined servant tended to her as best she could. ?So what the hell happened, exactly?? Anni asked. ?I don?t know! I was just passing by and heard her talking to herself! She was saying some really disturbing things, and then she started screaming, and I went in and found her mutilating herself with this!? Carline held up the knife, still stained with Allie?s blood. The blade was crooked, and the handle was ornately done, gold designs all over it. As soon as Anni saw it, she became withdrawn. ?Zat is? we don?t ?ave anyzing like zat ?ere. Where did she get such a sing?? ?I-it was mine? I bought it from Miara? but how did??? ?I have no idea. But it?s crawling with curses. I still can?t get her wound to heal properly, or the one from yesterday either; they?re going to be pretty nasty scars forever.? ?I-it doesn?t matter!? Cecily said. ?I just? I just need to know that she?ll be okay? Anni, why did-? ?It?s not my fault! I can feel it too, and it wasn?t cursed like that when I got it!? ?Allie? Ah ?ad no idea she was so unstable?? ?No, that?s the thing. I don?t think she was herself. I think something really bad is going on, and I need to know what.?


?What do you mean?? Anni seemed particularly worried. ?Well, when she was talking to herself, she was referring to different selves.? ?So what, she?s multiple personality?? ?No? the other one of her said to claim that she was if she was questioned on it. I don?t think that?s how it works.? Anni looked puzzled. ?And there?s more. The other her, the one that had her doing this? she?s a magic user.? ?Ah did not sink Allie could use magic, zough.? ?She can?t! Even now, I can?t sense a thing off of her.? Cecily choked back her tears so she could speak clearly. She grabbed her hand, making sure not to touch her damaged arm. ?Allie? what?s wrong with you? there?s something really wrong with you? you?re the thing that matters most to me in the whole world; please? we all need to know??


Allie?s eyes opened slowly. ?Mmm? what happened?? They all sat debating what to say, and Carline was the first to speak. ?Allie? are you okay?? ?Y-yes, Miss Carline. Why do you ask?? She noticed exactly who was in the room, and the state she was in. She clapped both hands over her mouth, but then winced from the movement of her right arm. ?Ow? oh, I remember now?? She laid her head back again. ?I?m sorry, misses. I must?ve been very frightening. I? the knife? I?m very self-abusive?? The corners of her mouth twitched as she spoke; she didn?t seem sincere at all.


Carline leaned close and began to talk quietly. ?Allie, please. We?re very worried about you. Tell us? why are you doing this?? ?I?m sorry, miss. I? hate myself, really. I cut myself often. All that keeps me going is you guys.? ?Allie. That?s not it. This isn?t? Allie, please. Tell us the truth. I heard? parts? of your conversation in the closet.? Allie had a look of brief triumph, before fading back into a neutral face. ?Oh, you did? That? I?m multiple personality. I? I have one, her name is Hakira. She?s violent? manipulative? spiteful? I?m really sorry, I should?ve told you before. You should lock me in an asylum. Yes, that?d? that?d s-solve it. For both of us??


?Allie? you?re still hiding it.? She sat up straight again, looking to the other three. ?Tuicia, Anni, Cecily. If you could leave for a moment. I really think I need to talk to her alone.? ?Madame, she is dangerous! ?ave you seen what she does to ?erself? Ah cannot do zat!? ?Tuicia, please. I need to talk to her in private.? The two looked into each other?s eyes, and Tuicia realized that there was no way to convince her otherwise. She sighed. ?Fine, Madame. But if Ah ?ear ze slightest of sings, Ah am coming right back in. Come, you two.? Those who weren?t Carline stood, the gardener looking at Allie. ?Allie, please, please tell Miss Carline. We want to help you. I want to help you. I don?t? I don?t want you doing this to yourself f-for any reason?? She trailed off, and Tuicia ushered them out of the room. Carline looked up and saw the other servant still tending to Allie?s arm. ?And, if you don?t mind, Nina?? ?But Miss Carline! She needs-? ?I?ll only be a moment.? Nina sighed. ?Very well.? She left the room too, shutting the door behind her.


Immediately after hearing it shut, Allie was more alert. ?Are they gone?? ?Yes?? ?Miss, I need to tell you now then. I?m? not me.? ?Pardon?? ?I?m? a puppet. I always have been?? ?A puppet? What is that supposed to mean?? ?Everything, all of it? it was her. I?ve been trying to fight it, I?ve been winning, but? she?s getting desperate as she loses control over me.? ?You?re not making any sense.? ?I?ve been noticing? the more time I spend with you guys? the better I can fight her off? I?ve been hoping that maybe? I could completely suppress her? she?s getting lesser and lesser?? ?Who is? You mean the other woman?? ?Yes? Hakira? now? maybe you could help me? put her down for good?? ?What do you mean?? ?Her influence is already crumbling? maybe if you can help me seal her somehow, with some kind of magic, then she could die inside me like that.? ?Who is Hakira?? ?I don?t have time to explain now? can you do it or not?? ?It?s complicated, but? I think I can.? ?Then do it!?


Carline raised her hands, unsure if this was a good idea, since she?d never done this before, but pressed forth anyway. She pulled a tremendous amount of energy, and laid her hands on Allie. A divine glow danced around them, and a low rumbling came from her hands. Allie breathed rhythmically, trying to focus on keeping down the thing she claimed to have. The two stayed like that for a while, but something seemed wrong with Allie as it went on. Her breathing lost its rhythm, and her face began to get screwed up. ?Miss? it?s not working! She?s trying to leave my body now! I? can?t hold her!? ?Don?t worry, I?m almos-? Suddenly the glow was vanquished, and Carline?s hands were flung from Allie?s body. ?Allie! What?re-? She cut herself off as she saw Allie?s face. She was whimpering softly, while a thick blue smoke poured from her mouth, nose, and eyes. The whimpering changed to laughing as it went, and the laugh was nothing like Allie?s own, inflection or not.


?What the hell!?? There was a furious pounding on the door. ?Madame! What is going on in zere!?? ?I-I don?t know!? ?Ze door is being ?eld shut! Ah cannot get in!? ?Out of the way! I?ll-? Carline heard a loud bang that rattled the room, and then silence. ?Damnit! Annee, she tried opening it! Ah sink ze recoil knocked ?er and Nina unconscious!? ?Allie, miss! How is Allie doing!?? While they panicked, the smoke ceased to emit from Allie, and began to coalesce into a figure.


The smoke stopped being thick and blue, and took on a distinct appearance. It was that of Allie, a perfect copy of her. That is, until she opened her eyes, and revealed a harsh and red gaze, a blatant contrast to Allie?s inviting brown. ?It?s no use for them.? She said with Allie?s voice, but with the same tone she used when torturing her in the closet. ?I?ve sealed off the door. They don?t remotely have the power to breach it.? It was then that Carline worryingly noticed a pair of jewel-embedded armlets resting just below where her sleeves ended. ?Are you Hakira?? The other woman smirked. ?Yup. Stupid little Allie was about to tell you too much.? She glanced over to the now lifeless woman. ?But I will give her the credit due; she was getting close to harmlessly assimilating me. It even shows in my appearance. Rulfort never had any kind of will but my own.?


Carline was somewhat nervous in the face of someone who claimed to possess this much power, but she stood strong. ?What are you then, that you can possess people? A spirit from the Otherworld?? ?Hah! No, though I did spend some years over there. I am but human, like yourself. And no, I do not possess people. I create them.? ?You create them?? ?Yes. Empty shells for my spirit to inhabit. Alleant? is hardly the first. Though she was the most simple.? There was a loud rapping on the door. ?Madame, what is going on in zere!?? ?Shut up!? Hakira snapped. ?You?re lucky I even allow you to hear my beautiful voice! But really, this isn?t even my own voice yet.? ?But Allie-? ?Yes, I?m getting there. This conversation will move at MY pace, thank you.?


?Yes, she started as but a shell, even when you first laid eyes on her. I appreciate the compliments to her butt, though.? She reached down to feel her own. ?Very nice handiwork, I must boast. Too bad it?s so fat. Not at all tight and toned like mine. But as I was saying, over time, she began to develop a personality of her own from my acting, and a will. That was new; never before had my puppets become their own entity.?


She began walking closer to Allie. ?It?s too bad it was almost disappointingly easy to get her in here. I mean, good lord, I almost matched every physical preference you have to start with! I?ve got the skin, I?ve got the hair, I?ve got the curves. Oh yes, I?ve got the curves.? She slipped a hand beneath Allie, feeling her ass. ?So very like mine, if I weren?t so fit. But such soft cheeks she has?? ?Stop that!? Hakira stopped her groping and looked back toward Carline. ?And why?s that? It?s my body. It?s masturbation at worst.? ?No! She?s not you! Not anymore!? ?And how can you prove that? Is she even alive without me in her?? Carline hadn?t even thought of that. ?The answer, however, you sorcerous wench, is surprisingly yes. I?m amazed, really. She developed her own self so well, she no longer even needs me. I suspect it has to do with that Cecily woman. That whole ?love? bullshit is surprisingly effective.?


Carline did see how Allie was breathing, though somewhat irregularly. Everything about Hakira pegged her as unstable, so for Allie?s sake, Carline had to keep her talking. ?Why did you come here? What for?? Hakira did not bother to face her. ?Information.? She pulled her hand out from under Allie, and moved up to her chest. ?Oh, but her tits.? She grabbed hold of them, leaning over the bed to do so, and letting her own press against Allie?s belly. ?They?re so big and full and round, just like mine.? ?S-stop it!? Hakira ignored her, and slipped Allie?s bra off of her breasts. She leaned over and lightly grabbed a nipple. ?So wonderful, these little things. I almost wanna suck on ?em.? She pulled on it, and let go, watching Allie?s breast jiggle. She fell back a bit and began to feel up Allie?s breasts, gently massaging them. ?They?re so much more impressive on her than me. She?s got a smaller body to cart them around on. I?m kind of jealous.? She got a foul glint in her eye. ?But I can fix that.? Her hands glowed momentarily, and something small and shiny fell from her sleeve. Without missing a beat, she grabbed it and swung it in a wide arc at the underside of Allie?s breast.


Carline immediately processed what had happened. She shot forward, shoving Hakira out of the way. She put her hands on the quickly bleeding wound, and began to mend it with her magic. ?What is wrong with you!?? Hakira ran the dagger along the palm of her hand, disinterested, in a way almost like she was filing her nails. ?I can do what I want with her. She?s my puppet, and one who?s gone a bit out of line. She needs punishment.? There was banging on the door again. ?Please, whoever you are, don?t hurt Allie any more! I?m begging you!? ?I said SHUT UP!? Hakira roared in the direction of the door, and flung the knife at it. It didn?t get far before it uselessly impacted the ground. ?Dammit. Her body is so weak.? She held her thin arms in front of her with contempt, her right hand bleeding from her fooling with the blade. ?I need mine back. Delicious and sensual curves aside, she?s got nothing over mine.? Her hands glowed an intense dark blue, and along with them all the sapphires on her armlets.


Suddenly it all stopped. ?There. Now I should revert to myself.? She looked down over her borrowed form. ?Though it?s a shame to lose this one. I quite liked being so short and squashy.? She grabbed her breasts, and began to squeeze them. ?Hers are so much more sensitive than mine. It?s quite? erotic?? She fondled and teased them, a light laugh escaping her. As she did so, she could feel her body beginning to return to its normal self. She felt her legs lengthen a small bit, and dropped her soft breasts. ?And now, Carline, you?ll get to see me in all my beauty.?


She stretched toward her toes, feeling a popping in her back as she did. It was followed by a bit of tightening back there, a bit of muscle building. ?So, since I know you want to know what?s going on, I?ll fill you in.? She said, straightening up. ?Where to begin? I suppose with how I got here.? She lifted her sleeve nonchalantly as she spoke, watching with amusement as her arm became gracefully thicker, athletic muscle appearing on it. ?You see, it started with Bella. After stealing her armor and weaponry from Aphira, and a few other things, I seduced the secret of resurrection from the witch?s daughter, whatever her name was.?


She felt the wonderful tightening of her rear, and let a hand travel down there, lifting her shirt to feel it. It still retained a bit of Allie?s softness, but it was distinctly one that had been worked hard for. Her smile increased. ?So then I let her do her thing. Before long, you came in. You kidnapped the elder princess, but I held my tongue. Couldn?t jump the gun there. But when you took the younger, oh, that?s when I incited Rudy into doing something about it!? Her thighs also became more defined, as fat was traded in for muscle. And as her legs grew still longer, her stockings became tighter on them. ?So a few stacked debates later, and we had Bella after you!?


?Now see, I?d heard tales about your evil and might, so I was curious to see who would prevail there. To my amazement, it was you!? Hakira arched her back as her ribcage got a bit wider and her torso lengthened slightly. Her uniform was beginning to get tight on her body. ?When you brought her in, the new, worthless her, I didn?t even know what to say! So I just abandoned my old plan and came here.?


?So from what little I read off of you when you were defending yourself, I constructed that thing.? She pointed to Allie, who seemed to be completely calm and peaceful. Hakira?s vile smile widened as she looked over her arm, which now had the tone of someone who worked out often. ?I used your pathetic carnal fetishes to open a quick gateway to you.?


?How disappointed I was, though, when I found out you were not evil in the least; just a pussy who had bad luck. Still, though, the other thing you held was still of value to me.? ?And what was that?? Carline asked, saying the first thing in a while. Hakira thrust her arm forward dramatically, a single finger pointing at her. ?Your magic. I could not believe how big a pool you have. It?s more of a damned ocean! And the power that inherently comes with a source that large? even with these-? She indicated the armlets, which now fit much more snugly on her muscled biceps. ?-I only just beat you. That kind of anomaly is incredible. So I stuck around to see what kind of information I could gather.?


She stopped there and looked down her body. ?This is going far too slow. Excuse me a moment.? Once again her hands and armlets glowed in unison, and her metamorphosis sped up. Her hair began to grow out, and her face lost some of its roundness, becoming more angular and seductive. She began to grow more steadily, most still in the legs, and even her breasts got a bit larger. Her uniform audibly strained against her growing form.


She put a hand on the opposite bicep and squeezed it, reveling in the tone and hardness it had. She flexed her arm, causing her glove to slide down toward her forearm. She let out a ?Ha!?, her voice markedly different from Allie?s now; quite a bit deeper, smooth and sexy. She bent over, offering a generous panty shot to anyone who would?ve been standing behind her, and felt her solid legs, and how tight her stockings were on them. Even with just a quick flex there she might-


But that didn?t matter, as her legs put them past their limit in their slowing growth, tearing a vertical line through almost two thirds of each one. Her feet also became tired of her constricting shoes, and ripped them horizontally, bits of them gently sliding down around her feet. Hakira felt her thighs, firm but still smoothed by a thin layer of fat, and straightened up, satisfied, revealing her Amazonian height. ?What do you think, Carly~? She said, in a voice that simultaneously suggested intention of seduction, rape, and murder. She half-turned, lifting her skirt, and took in a deep gaze of her large ass, her thong wedged deep between her cheeks. She dropped it again, where it covered to only just below her crotch.


The upper part of the uniform, on the other hand, wasn?t so well off. Her thickened torso left little room for it, and her slightly larger breasts and significantly larger chest behind them made it very tight, and she could only take shallow breaths. Her sleeves were also no longer loose, tightened by her wider shoulders and thicker arms. To relieve this, she inhaled deeply, and then wrapped her arms over front of herself, tight as she could, until she heard small twangs, and at that even tighter, until she heard a loud rip. Hakira then simply grabbed the neckline of the uniform and tore, pulling a line down it to below her breasts, and she popped them out, where they kept still from the tightness of the bra strap against her back.


Her hair stopped at the length of her upper back, and it fell randomly over her face, giving her a feral look. She took a moment to fix this however, separating her hair into a style she saw fit. She looked over her torn, ill-fitting clothing. ?Oh, but this won?t do. Give me just one more moment, if you would.? Hakira held her arms straight out in front of her, and suddenly all of her clothing set fire, a dark blue blaze. Within no time it burned off, leaving her in the nude aside from her armlets. Shameless about her nudity, she ran her fingers over her toned abs. ?Almost forgot about this?? She also felt her breasts, large and soft, but also firm and pretty perky. ?And these too? Allie only WISHES she looked like me.?


She cast a seductive gaze at Carline, turning and striking a pose for her. ?I ask again, what do you think? Much better than that little girl, yes?? Carline averted her eyes. ?Get back to explaining.? She said, in an entirely serious tone. ?Hmph. Fine.? The blue flame returned, passing over her body in eerie silence. This time it left her clothed again, in pants of a dark, rich blue, extraneous material strapped to her calves; a black camisole, which draped loosely over her hips; and more cloth wrapped around her forearms, in mock versions of sleeves.


Hakira held her arm toward her dagger, which flew off the ground and into it. She ran the blade along her right palm again, smiling with satisfaction as it failed to cut the material of her newly gloved hands. She then grabbed the hair over her face and pushed the knife against it until it cut, so that it hung only just below her chin. Then, as a final test, she spontaneously flung it in the direction of the door again, and this time it not only reached, but stuck in the door up to its handle. Cecily was heard gasping on the other side.


?But back to business. Where was I? Oh yes.? Her face lit up again as she continued recounting. ?So I let myself continue to go around as her. But problems arose as she began to develop her own sense of self. At first it was easy to get her to do what I wanted. She was weak-willed, and effortlessly controlled. But then she started separating from me. She didn?t do what I wanted. No, Allie had to be a stupid fucking faggot, and fall for the fucking gardener. I made her a lesbian so that she would go after someone who matters, like Anni. NOT THE MOTHER FUCKING GARDENER!? She bellowed at the door, whipping her head around to face it.


Hakira took a moment to regulate her breathing and fix her hair before continuing. ?That derailed my plans quite a bit, but then some time later you made such a wonderful suggestion, I had to take advantage of it. That day where you insisted we all be drunkards? I got you to tell me things you can?t even imagine, little Carly. Things that I shall find quite useful later.? She looked over her shoulder to Allie and sighed. ?But alas, all good things come to an end. Recently she?d been actively defying me, so I?ve had to keep her in line with violence and threats against her ?wuvewy Sessy?. But now that I?ve been found out here, there?s little reason to stick around. Or, for that matter?? She held up her hand, and in a burst of flame Anni?s fancy knife appeared in it. ?Little reason for her to either.?


Carline started and spoke out, now that Hakira was no longer content just talking. ?What are you planning to do to her?? Hakira waved the knife in front of her. ?What do you think, dumbass? I?m gonna cut her up until she doesn?t move again. You got a problem with that?? She straightened up, and walked over to Carline, looking down on her. She was intimidating, well over a head taller and quite a bit bulkier, her scarlet eyes piercing the sorceress, but Carline stood her ground. ?No! I won?t let you hurt her any more!?


Hakira snorted. ?Good luck with that.? There was another flash of azure flame, and now Hakira stood behind Allie, knife dangling above her face. Carline moved to stop her, but Hakira just hovered it over Allie?s closed eye in a warning, and she immediately stopped. ?What do you want? Why are you so interested in my power? Why are you doing any of this?!? Hakira laughed. ?Why am I doing this? No reason. No reason at all.? She pried Allie?s eye open with her fingers. ?I. Just. Like. Seeing. People. Hurt!?


In time with the emphasis of the last word, her knife did a quick and brief plunge as Carline watched in horror. ?NO!? She screamed. ?Miss Carline! What happened!?? Cecily?s worried voice called through the door, but Carline paid it no attention. She tried shoving Hakira again, but her much larger frame didn?t give nearly as much as when she?d had Allie?s body. So, wearing that same sick smile, Hakira did the same action, and Carline shrieked again. ?STOP IT!? Hakira spun the knife in her hand apathetically, and wiped it on Allie?s shoulder. ??s not like she?ll die from that. I only got her eye. She?s got two for a reason.?


Carline immediately set to work trying to heal it, but found out with horror that whatever Hakira had done cursed the knife with far outclassed her ability to heal. With no time to lose, she closed her eyes and breathed in deeply, recalling what Praeli had done for Tuicia last winter. Her hands shimmered softly, and she tried as best she could to put Allie in that same kind of stasis. Hakira watched smugly, arms folded. ?Impressive spell you got there. Might need to learn that one.? Carline ignored her comment, focusing as hard as she could on Allie?s well-being, and she heard a small pop. She opened her eyes, and Allie wasn?t moving at all any more, or bleeding.


Hakira applauded from the other side of the bed. ?Well done, well done. Do you really thin-? Carline casted at her, infuriated, and Hakira blocked it effortlessly. ?DON?T YOU INTERRUPT ME WHEN I SPEAK!? She roared, ramming her foot into the table Allie was on, sending it skidding into Carline and knocking her off her feet. ?I don?t think you?ve learned yet, little Carly~? She said, abruptly switching tone to a dangerously playful one. Without warning she hopped up on the table, leaning over Allie?s body. She grabbed her right arm, and seared through the bandage that Nina had applied, leaving a burn along her arm. Then she casted something of her own, something her armlets pitched in on, and Allie seemed to fall out of Carline?s spell. With no delay, she took the knife to it, slowly cutting across it like one would a steak.


?NO! Stop!? Carline got up and ran to Hakira, tugging on her left arm, but if Hakira was in any way slowed by this, Carline couldn?t see it. Allie?s arm was beginning to bleed badly. ?Try harder, little Carly. You?re gonna need to do better than that if you wanna save her~? Carline was both sickened and enraged by her, and casted the worst things she could think of at her. Without missing a beat, or even any physical reaction at all, Hakira blocked them all, the sapphires in her armlet shining brilliantly.


?C?mon, you can do better than that!? Hakira said, staining her gloves with Allie?s blood as it spurted from the deep wound she was making. ?Stop, damn you!? Carline cried out, as she tried everything she knew, even the buxom spell, but to no effect. Hakira just happily sawed away, ignoring her. ?If you want me to stop, try harder. You limit yourself. Draw more into your store if you wanna get- Ooh, I think I just hit her bone!? She began laughing, but it was no overdone evil laugh. It was a genuine, joyful one, that of someone who was having a great time. Somehow this pissed off Carline more than anything. She clenched her hands as they grew black.


?ENOUGH.? She said in a powerful voice. It was enough to cause Hakira to turn her head toward the source. Carline held her arm straight at Hakira, who seized up, and then flung her sideways, off of Allie and into the wall. Hakira was up quickly, and cracked her neck as she got into a fighting stance. ?It?s about damn time you did something.? She growled. Carline had only intense hatred on her face. She raised her arm again, slowly and deliberately. Hakira jammed the knife into the wall, and readied herself. Right as Carline casted, so did Hakira, and the two stood like that, pouring in immense amounts of magical energy, each woman?s cancelling out the other?s.


Suddenly Allie?s shuddering breath caught Carline?s attention, and she remembered what kind of condition the maid was in. She cut off her end, and to her surprise, so did Hakira. She ran to Allie?s side, keeping the demon in view, and she tried her hardest to fix Allie?s arm. Once again, she couldn?t stop it, and she began to panic. Hakira, on the other hand, merely retrieved her weapon and began to walk over. ?You?re not serious, are you? Didn?t we do this very thing mo-? ?Shut the fuck up!? Carline yelled, casting at her. Hakira didn?t expect that one at all, so she took it without defense.


Hakira twisted her neck a bit in rage. ?What did I tell you about interrupting me, bitch?? She changed her grip on her blade to a reverse one, and closed in. ?It seems you just can?t learn, can you?? She began to pour in some more vile enchantments on the dagger, but was surprised when nothing happened. Instead, she felt a tingling in her chest. ??the hell?? She took a few steps back, and tried again. The same nothing occurred, and the tingling became stronger.


She twisted her lips, now somewhat angry that this wasn?t working. She did it again, allowing her magic amplifiers to join in this time, and still nothing. However, now she felt a thrust in her bosom as her breasts plumped up slightly. She also felt a tingling she vaguely recognized from a long time ago. Recognizing it for what it was, she stopped trying to use magic, and put her free arm over her chest, glaring at Carline. ?So, you?ve finally found a practical use for that damned spell, have you?? Carline nodded, glaring back at her in return. ?With that in play, any moment now, your spell will fail, and Tuicia will come in and deal with you. I wouldn?t try anything anymore.?


Hakira sneered at her. ?That so?? Her breasts were very slowly but steadily growing, with how much magic she?d put in all at once, but she didn?t let it hinder her. She calmly walked over to Allie?s other side. ?I?ve still got one more thing.? She grabbed Allie?s earring and ripped it out, and Carline jumped up on sight of her action. ?Recognize this?? Hakira said, holding out Carline?s backup reserve. ?I recall it worked for the actual device, so it?ll work here I imagine.? She held her hand up, and it glowed a vivid red. ?Yep,? she concluded with a violent smile.


Carline became almost exasperated. How long was this going to go on for? She couldn?t stop her! ?However,? Hakira said, ?you people bore me now. I?m done here. I?ve wasted months here, and I?ve got better things to do. A step of my life plans needs attending to. I?ve got to visit an old acquaintance of mine. I believe you know Gelly Gartave, yes?? She reached into her shirt, producing something bright green, ethereal, and shiny, and dropped it on the ground. ?We?ll be in France with that Laurent bitch. Buh-bye!?


Hakira disappeared in fire before Carline could react, and the door flew open. ?Madame, what ?appe-? Tuicia gasped and put her hands over her mouth on seeing Allie, and Cecily screamed and fainted. Carline ignored both, recognizing what Hakira had dropped. ?Both of you, get out, n-? She only had enough time to set up a barrier as it exploded.




Carline awoke with a start, and immediately sat upright. Tuicia was sitting at her bedside. ?Shit! Tuicia, what- where?s Allie?!? ?Madame, Madame, calm down. She is being taken to ze finest of ?ospitals as we speak.? ?What? Who by?? ?Cecily and Nina ?ave driven ?er. She is stable for now, but?? Carline put a hand to her head. ?How long has it been?? ?Almost a day.? ?What?! Shit!? She jumped out of her bed, but her legs gave beneath her. ?Madame!? Tuicia was immediately at her side to help her up. Carline submissively accepted her assistance. ?D-dammit? what did she do to me?? ?Ah don?t know magic, Madame, but she did some kind of explosive Ah sink.?


Carline sat back down. She kept her head down, debating events. After a while, she looked up at Tuicia. ?Tuicia? I have to go stop her.? ?Madame, you are not in condition to-? ?I don?t care! If I don?t, then she?s just going to go hurt more people! Even now, she?s going to get Gelly!? ?Madame, please, didn?t you learn anysing from what ?appened? She is vicious and powerful! You can?t beat ?er! Zis is what ze Knights are for!? ??no. Tuicia, I have to help. Someone like her won?t go down easy.?


?Madame, she will kill you if she desires to! Please, do not do zis!? ?I don?t care! I?d rather die a hero than be remembered a murderer!? ?Madame! Do not talk like zat! Even now opinions will change! Before you know it, people will realize-? ?No! They won?t! People won?t ?realize?! People never ?realize?! It?s been nine years and no one?s ?realized?!?


??Ah ?ave.? Tuicia said quietly. ?What?? ?Madame? Ah? Ah can?t let you go srough wizh zis. Not alone. If you are doing it, if you really ?ave to do it, if Ah cannot convince you ozherwise, zen Ah can?t let you go alone. Ah will go wizh you. If? if you are to die zere, zen Ah die wizh you, because Ah cannot live wizhout you. Ah? Ah? l-love you, Madame?? Carline was caught off-guard by her sudden confession. ?What?? ?Ah ?ave only just realized what zis feeling meant, but Ah cannot deny it. Madame, you are ze light of ma life, and nozhing makes moi ?appier zan being wizh you.? ?Tuicia? is that really how you feel?? She nodded, tears beginning to lightly go down her face. ?Ah sink it always ?as been.? She bent down and kissed Carline on the cheek. She straightened up and wiped her eyes, a blush decorating her face. ?Ah will be? be putting supplies in Cecily?s vehicle, Madame. We leave in a few hours.?


Tuicia clicked out of the room quickly, embarrassed, and Carline put her hand on her cheek. ?Now she tells me, of all the times??
