As Becky settled down to sleep James slowly came to terms with the fact he would be spending the rest of the night as a dog. There were more unpleasant forms he had been forced into within the previous few hours, but this was both terrifying and demeaning nonetheless. Worse still, Alcuin had messed with his friends mind to the extent that she seemed to want to keep putting him through similar ordeals to satisfy her weird new sexual cravings. Still, there was nothing much he could do for now. Even if he had a clue how to reverse Becky's spell over him, she had made him fully obedient to her so he couldn't actively defy her wishes. He just had to hope the madness ended in the morning. Perhaps Alcuin would even let him turn at transforming Becky - he certainly wouldn't hold back if given the chance for some revenge.
The sleepy pair were roused from their slumber by a firm tapping at the door the next day. Becky awoke with a start before wrapping the bed sheet around her naked body and shuffling over to open it. It was the old wizard Alcuin accompanied by his sullen looking daughter Kayla, the apprentice witch who had started this bizarre chain of events.
"Oh, Hi!" Becky smiled politely but cautiously.
"Um, hello. Is your friend their too?" Alcuin enquired. Becky nodded down at the black and white collie at the foot of her bed that had sat up to attention at the sound of the wizards voice.
Alcuin chuckled to himself "I see you've been enjoying my gift to you?"
"We both have" Becky nodded a little defensively "Isn't that right James?"
Her new pet wagged his tail and barked, very much against his wishes. Alcuin raised his eyebrows and chuckled again while Kayla made a creeped out kind of an expression.
"Well, look I came here to apologise for my daughters, and indeed my own behaviour and send you on your way. It is not often I get the chance to practice my magic and I'm afraid I rather followed Kayla's poor example myself last night. We are both very sorry"
"Yeah, sorry" Kayla mumbled grudgingly.
"It's fine" Becky smiled back quickly, fearful her fun may be about to end.
"No it isn't" Alcuin corrected her "And of course I shall be removing all of the magical effects the pair of you have been subjected..."
"No, please don't!" Becky interrupted urgently "Just send us back as we are, please! Both of us are happy with my new powers. We're kind of enjoying them. Right James?"
James barked and wagged his tail while he inwardly despaired.
"Yuck. Too much information" Kayla shook her head in disgust.
"Well, I suppose by way of an apology it wouldn't do any harm to allow you to continue to entertain yourselves with your new power" Alcuin looked slightly uncertain "Ok, I will allow it. As long as you promise not to let anyone to witness James transforming. If that happens you shall lose your power immediately and James will be stuck in whatever form you have left him in"
"It's ok, I'll be careful" Becky insisted. James barked a few times but nobody knew or seemed to care what he was trying to say.
"Ok then, as you wish" Alcuin nodded in assent at Becky.
