Second Casting

    by: who-me Author IconMail Icon
"Please wait!" Felix called as the large hand four times his new size came downwards aiming at him, "I don't want to hurt you!" Fakira heard him but ignored his plea. The fairy kept reaching downwards at the same pace. Felix could do nothing to prevent it. He just raised his arms outward to the oncoming hand, but what good would it have done now that he was much smaller and weaker than the fairy.

Fakira wrapped her fingers around the Felix's body and lifted him in the air. Felix panicked when his feet left the ground. He knew he had to think fast or he'd be eaten by the fairy, because the fairy wasn't going to hesitate. It was going to eat him without any remorse.

"Evil humans are liars, deceivers, and most of all food," Fakira said, pulling Felix to her face quickly and smiling with all her teeth showing. Felix might have said her teeth were very pretty, though sharp and her smile beautiful, but there was a evil almost wickedness to the smile as it knew of his doom. The fairy licked her lips and opened her mouth wide and as Felix saw himself approaching the dark abyss before him, panic flew.

"No! Please!" Felix screamed. The fairy noted his panic and fear. So, Fakira slowed her hand's approach to her mouth so she could torment the human longer. Felix suddenly recalled the fairy's spell when he was slowly getting closer to the gaping mouth. "Efno Helpu Calcium!" he stumbled, "Ethan Heaplu Culam! Wait! Ethna Hepalu Calum!"

-------------------------

The fairy was laughing inwardly as the tiny human tried using her magic against her.

"Stupid human," she thought as Felix shouted the actual spell inches away from being eaten. Having not expected magic, Fakira didn't have a chance to protect herself from the magic. And given Felix's proximity to her and how much emotion he put into it, Fakira quickly let go of Felix and grabbed her stomach in pain.

----------------------------------------------

The fairy's fingers let go of Felix and her hand fell down to her stomach almost before Felix even started falling. Felix fell the length of Fakira's torso until landing on her lap. Felix then began sliding against the fabric of her dress that only went down to her knees and down the slanted incline of the lap. Felix eventually was able to grab hold of the fabric and stopped himself. Looking up, he saw the fairy already leaning forward with her hands clutching her stomach.

Felix rolled off her lap and onto the rocky ground. The fall should have hurt him more, but it didn't seem to harm his shrunken body and he ran away from the legs, hoping he was far enough away from the fairy and hoping the fairy's spell would wear off soon. The pain was brief as he saw the fairy straighten up and look at him with an angry glare.

"So the evil man now sent you to use magic against me?" Fakira growled. One hand continued massaging her stomach, while the other reached for the tiny human. She glared at Felix viewing him now more than an evil human but a traitor to fairies, helping the evil man hurt her. "Traitor," she added.

"No please, I'm not evil! I didn't know I could use magic until I met you!" Felix shouted, moving away. The hand stopped as the fairy glared at him.

"How can you not know you can use magic?" Fakira asked,

"I have been a slave to Lord William since before I can remember!" Felix replied, "And I never knew I had magic blood within me."

"What is a slave?" Fakira asked. She had never heard this word before.

"I'm his property," Felix replied, "I must serve him or he will punish me."

"Does he want you to convince me to serve him as well?" Fakira growled at Felix, her hand moving once more.

"No! I'm not even supposed to be in here! He told me to wait to feed you but I defied his orders to come in here!" Felix said. Fakira looked over the tiny human and recalled how the ones who hurt her earlier were much larger and stronger looking.

As she debated what to do next . . .

You have the following choices:

1. The two minutes are up and Felix's back to normal size.

*Pen*
2. Randolph looks in and sees the tiny Felix.

*Pen* indicates the next chapter needs to be written.
