“Ribbit, Ribbit, Ribbit!” James riposted. He wasn’t going to accept those terms. What did he meant with “reward for your patience”; that wasn’t fair for him to be used as a simple object, all because his stupid daughter couldn’t work a proper spell. James demanded he was turned back to human.
“James, once again I’ll advise you to reconsider your options!” the Wizard calmly said with a very menacing tone. James didn’t register it, he was too angry to reason properly. He just hated that situation, Kayla and that ridiculous man. After a deep croak that extended his human throat like a toad’s inflated one, James positioned and jumped forward hitting his webbed hands in the wizard’s chest, knocking him down.
Kayla screamed scared with the attack.
“You’ll have it mister” the Wizard raged. “Rana Vatrakos Bufo Groda” he swished. A green light hit James in the chest and his perception of dimensions changed so much; he was now a toad once again. The wizard got up and scooped him, held him by the leg – which hurt a bit, crossed the circus camping site, passed the outdoors fireplace where the artists and freaks reunited, the circus’ director and entered back in his tent, the second biggest of all. The interior was purple and yellow, with ancient mobile and towers of old books piled onto another. He threw James in the desk and opened a trunk. James thought he could leap and escape, hiding behind the books, but before that he was once again scooped and put inside a fish bawl aquarium whose entry was blocked with a book.
“I’ll give you the night to think. Now, it will be a whole month you’ll have to work for us. And if you still refuse, welcome to your new life, sir. Do you see this hand, I just have to whisper a spell and snap its fingers to make either your mind forget you human life thus becoming a total amphibian or make you talk like a man. Either way I’ll a good meal or a paranoid talking frog that people will pay to see…You have a whole night, think about it.”
