Terry and Sarah come ups only stand in stunned silence as they tried to make sense of what they had seen. Both Duke and Jessie had been reduced to children, the sounds of their childish laughter now echoing from the adjacent room. Sarah now grabbed Terry’s shirt, yanking him close as she fearfully stared into his eyes.
“Terry what the hell just happened,” she exclaimed.
“The lots,” Terry stammered, his hands shaking. “Somehow, they must of rolled. I...I don’t know how but they affected Jessie, just like they did Duke.”
“Look Terry,” Sarah sighed. “Getting a Little ya ne’er isn’t so bad but I have no desire to be back in grade school. We gotta find those things before we end up like those two.” Terry could only nod as the two adults now made their way towards Duke and Jessie. As they peaked into the living room they could see both Jesse and Duke sitting on the couch. Both children dressed only in oversized shirts, their tiny feet dangling from their seated position as their feet rhythmically drummed on the upholstery. Both adults shivered slightly at the sight, neither one wanted to become that young.
Terry glanced at where the two children sat, his brow furrowing. “Damn I not see the lots,” he whispered. “So where do you think they are,” Sarah asked. Terry motioned to a side room. Quietly the two adults now made their wa towards the next room. As they entered Terry frowned, Duke had pushed an ottoman towards the bookcase in order to retrieve the lots. “Damn it,” he grumbled. “Guess Duke was a bit of a troublemaker as a kid. He must of climbed up the bookcase to get them. I thought they would be safe there.”
Sarah chuckled softly as she looked at Terry. “You know for someone with kids I would figure you would of come up with a better hiding spot.” Terry could only frown, his massive shoulders slumping as he sighed. “Just look around for them okay.”
“Okay,” Sarah stated. “But what do they look like?”
“They look like two dice,” Terry said. “Too be honest they really don’t look like much but when you pick them up you can kind of feel how powerful they are.” As the two adults now began scanning the room, Sarah noticed a something shimmer on the floor. As she bent down she could see two small die. “Hey I think I found them,” Sarah said as she now picked them up.
“Okay now just be careful with them,” Terry said. “Anytime you throw them you get younger under depending on the number you roll.” Sarah nodded as she simply stared at the lots. Something about them the lots seemed to hypnotize her. She could feel a power inside them, a power that almost seemed to beckon her to cast them. The need to cast the lots was almost overwhelming. “Sarah What are you doing,” Terry asked cautiously as he saw an odd expression spread across Sarah’s face.
“What would one throw hurt,” she whispered. Terry could only scream no as Sarah released them. As they clattered to the floor, Terry read them, 6 and 4.
Sarah gasped, moaning in surprise as ten years now fell off her body. The woman moaned in sensual pleasure, grasping her breasts as her body youthened. Terry watched as Sarah’s breasts began to perk up while the lines around her eyes and mouth vanished. Even the small amount of grey in her brunette locks vanished, leaving it glowing with youth. As the magic subsided the now 30 year old woman painted as she stared at Terry.
“Oh my god that was incredible,” she breathed. Terry quickly snatched them from Sarah, gripping them tightly as he glared at Sarah. “Damn it why did you do that,” he hissed.
“I don’t know,” Sarah whispered. “Something about them just made me want to throw them. I..I couldn’t help myself and then the sensation afterwards. Oh my god Terry, I’ve never felt anything like that.”
“Yeah I know,” he murmured. “It’s intoxicating but we need to be careful. That feeling is what got Duke in trouble. If we’re not careful we could end up just like them.”
Sarah could only nod as she longingly gazed at the lots in Terry’s hand. “Okay,” she said. “So what do we do now?” Terry could only rub his neck as he now thought of their next move, they needed to find a cure and soon. Hopefully they could keep the lots from rolling or they would find themselves joining Duke and Jessie in a second childhood.
