I was pretty sure that Sarah and I both had the same fear -- that Keli would put on the ring and make a foolish wish without knowing the danger she was in. And while we could talk to each other all we wanted, neither of us could communicate with the clueless housemate.
That didn't stop Sarah from trying though.
"Keli!" she shouted. "Keli! You've got to heard me. That thing is dangerous. Don't put it on. You don't know wh..." She went silent for a second. "Why are you looking at me like that?"
"Who?" I asked. From my position over Keli's arm, I couldn't really see what has going on.
"Keli," Sarah explained. "She was looking at the ring for a second there, but now she's staring at me with this... I don't know... She looks like she's in a trance or something. Hey!"
"What?" Even as I asked, I found myself flying across the short distance between where Keli was standing and the bed. I landed in a position where I could just barely see the young woman. She was bending over facing me, moving her arms down her legs. "What's she doing?"
"Taking off her panties," Sarah sent back. I couldn't see where she was now, but I assumed that she was still in Keli's hand. "I think she's going... Oh my god! She is! She's putting me on!"
"What? Why would she do that?" As I asked, Keli stood back up, and I watched as she pulled Sarah up around her waist.
"How the hell should I know," Sarah answered, as Keli adjusted her for a better fit. "I mean, she's borrowed underwear from me before, but never any that I'd left on the floor. I mean, this is kinda sick."
I really couldn't argue with her on that. "Well," I said, trying to reason it out, "there must be some reason." And then, it hit me. "Oh, that must be it."
"What?"
"The wish," I explained. "The one you made that changed you. It's not finished yet."
"I don't follow."
"You wanted to know what I was feeling, remember?"
"Yeah. So?"
"So," I continued, warming to my subject, "you can't REALLY feel what I was feeling unless..."
"...unless I'm being worn," she said, finishing my thought. "So, now what happens?"
