Quite sensibly once Lucy was herself again she bolted from the scene.
So James,who was looking worried at a bit of pink
firespit that was still clinging firmly to his pinky
and Kayla's assistant returned to the back rooms of the stage
where the assistant showed James how to wash left over
residual transforming magic away in a safe and environmentally friendly manner.
They then returned to the stage where Kayla was working on
the next audience request
one from a old Indian snake charmer who who was playing
his pipe in front of a big pot where a female cobra snake
was dancing to the eerie music.
With a start James realized that the female cobra was Hannah
who had been transformed from a rattle snake into a cobra
snake for the performance.
From Hannahs general demeanor James guessed the snake life
was the life for her.
Her boyfriend was nowhere in the audience anymore,having
wisely fled before the witch turned him into something
his ex girlfriend could eat.
Hannah herself seemed to have forgotten all about her ex
and seemed to have submerged her human mind for her new
reptilian instincts.The female cobra was just that,a female cobra
driven by ancient cobra drives and DNA.
Kayla herself didn't seem too concerned,so James assumed
the witch knew what she was up to.
