As Laura finished her incantation the glazed look fell from Sophie's eyes to be replaced by a sudden look of realisation. It had all flooded back to her in a second.
"Laura *ook* I remember you now of course *ook* the auctioneers had made me forget my old life. They've done the same to Lucy and Annie. You have to get me out of here so we can *eek* rescue them. I don't want to be some *eek* milllionaires pet!"
"I'm sorry? What are you talking about? Do we know each other?" Laura answered blankly.
Sophie sighed "Very funny but we don't *eek* exactly have time for jokes"
"I have no idea what you mean" Laura was confused "But if you don't mind I'd better get back to my hutch. I don't want to sleep through the auction tomorrow."
Sophie was exasperated. This was even worse than before. Now the only one in a position to help didn't want to. In desperation she reached out for the spellbook Laura had placed on the ground and pulled it through the bars. She didn't know what any of the spells meant but she was out of any other ideas at this stage.
"Ok, here goes" Sophie began as she aimed what she hoped was the correct incantation at Laura.
