"How about I give you the power to change your friend in any way you wish. Nobody else, just Nicola" Meredith offered James "You could turn her into anything you want whenever you want. Wouldn't you like that power over her?"
James looked at Nicola, still sitting obediently at the floor next to Meredith. For reasons he couldn't explain or understand, he did feel an overwhelming urge to transform her - not just once but many times. Playing with her mind wasn't enough any more. Everything Meredith had said to him seemed to make sense now.
"Yes, I would" James answered firmly.
Meredith chuckled with enthusiasm "Good, then the power is yours"
She then clicked her fingers. Nicola let out a yelp of surprise and rose quickly to her feet.
"Hey! What just happened? Why was I..."
"Just a brief hypnotic demonstration, I apologise" Meredith casually explaines to the embarassed girl "Your debt is now repaid and you are free to leave"
"Come on" Nicola huffed at James "Let's get out of this dump. And you'd better not tell anyone about the hypnosis stuff"
"Enjoy your new power over your friend" Meredith winked at James.
"Whatever, weirdo" Nicola shouted back as the paire exited the store.
