Once again it was James who was effected first as the tingling sensation intensified all over his naked body. He closed his eyes and grimaced as he waited for the changes to start but to his surprise when he opened them he still felt pretty much normal.
That was until he looked across at the concerned face of Nicola who was now level in height with him rather than a few inches shorter, then at the smirking Meredith who was now taller than him and continuing to grow. At least he was keeping his humanity this time James figured, but how much smaller was he going to get?
James looked down at the floor which seemed to be quickly rising towards him then back up at Nicola. He was at eye level now with her thighs, her calves, her ankles...Eventually to his relief the tingling stopped as he reached his new size but in a few moments he had been reduced from six foot to comfortably less than six inches tall. Looking up at the two giant women towering above him he had never felt so vulnerable.
Several feet above Nicola glared at Meredith. She was debating internally whether to say something when suddenly she made an involuntary belching sound.
Meredith clasped her hands together with joy "Oh I think I know what this potion does. It's a favourite of mine and I must say it suits you perfectly"
Too concerned to even reply Nicola looked down at her hands to see very clear webbing appearing between her fingers. The skin on her hands then started changing in front of her eyes to a greenish brown hue and became slimy and leathery in texture with the occasional wart.
"No! Please no!" She cried to no avail as she fell into a squatting position with her hands flat on the floor in front of her. She observed with horror that her legs and arms were now the same colour as her hands. Nicola looked up helplessly at Meredith as the cackling witch seemed to grow and grow, then it all went dark as she fell below her clothes in a pile on the floor.
The light came on again as Meredith picked up Nicola's work clothes and underwear, quickly discarding them to reveal a plump, common looking toad.
"There. Not so cocky now are you, you little brat!" Meredith taunted. In response Nicola ribbited a couple of times before sticking her long tongue out to snag and gobble down a fly, completing her humiliation
James was glad he was too big for Nicola to eat. A toad was a pretty scary sight at his size.
"I believe these potions are a little longer lasting and I have a shop to attend to" Meredith announced cooly "I shall leave you for now but I'll be back for more potion testing later"
