James stood nervously in what appeared to be the library of the house and as he wandered in he saw all manner of ancient books on magic, some in languages he didn’t know when suddenly in a whirlwind Melanie appeared, completely nude herself.
“James!” she said gleefully as she ran over and hugged him. James didn’t mind watching her run over as her large breasts bounced with her every step and then she pressed them against his chest as he could feel her erect nipples on his body.
“Where are we?” she asked.
“I think this is Elspeth’s real home, not that cottage.”
“Where is she?”
“I’m not sure, she disappeared after bringing me here and she said something about it was ok for us to be naked for this dinner and that there were other guest’s coming.”
“That’s strange.”
“I guess it is all a part of my contract.”
Melanie pulled away and looked at him quizzically. “What contract?”
James then relayed the whole story about his friend, the broken item, Elspeth purchasing him and then the contract. Melanie listened intently.
After hearing it all Melanie stood silent for a moment and then spoke. “I have a bad feeling about all of this. I think we should get out of here if we can.”
With that Melanie waved her hands as if conjuring a spell, but nothing happened. She then tried again, but nothing happened. James looked at her concerned. “What’s the matter?” he said
“I don’t know. I keep trying to use s simple transportation spell but nothing is happening.”
“And It won’t!” said a thundering Elspeth who suddenly appeared.
James put his arm around Melanie as if to shield her from Elspeth.
“Foolish child. You have been one of my most talented and beautiful students, and I had such high hopes for you, and yet you have let this boy ensnare your heart. I thought I taught you better.”
“I have nothing to apologize for. At first this was all just a cute game with him, but then I saw our future and realized he truly loves me for who I am and not just my looks. And in that I discovered that I could actually be in love with him too.”
“So you saw your future did you? I don’t think you saw the harsh reality of it my dear.” And with that Elspeth made a motion and Melanie was jerked from James, who then found himself frozen like a statue.
“Behold your true future child.” And with another wave of her hand Melanie was instantly aged back into an 80 year old woman. “When you experienced this before you did not add the true effects of aging, did you?”
“What are you talking about” rattled the old woman
Elspeth then began to point her finger at the elderly Melanie and sent afflictions her way.
“Advanced arthritis!”
Suddenly Melanie groaned as her joints swelled causing her a great deal of pain.
“Osteoporosis!”
Suddenly Melanie winced in pain as she bent over slightly from the affliction as she put one of her hands on her back for support. “Here child, let me help you.” Elspeth sneered as a walker suddenly appeared and Melanie grabbed it to steady herself.
“Palsy!” and suddenly Melanie’s hands began to shake.
“Hearing loss!” Melanie was now having a hard time hearing Elspeth.
“Macular Degeneration!” Suddenly everything blurred to Melanie as she could only make out shapes now.
“Dementia!” Melanie now lost all sense of reality.
“So how do you feel now Melanie?”
“Eh? What was that dearie? Ya gonna have ta speak up, az I don’t hear as good as I use ta! Can you help this old woman to a chair, these old bones of mine are aching something fierce. Ya should have seen me years ago when I was a young whippersnapper, I was a real smokin’ babe!”
“The now elderly infirmed and delirious Melanie shuffled to a waiting sofa and collapsed on it and instantly fell asleep.
“So James, is this what you want? Because this is how she is going to live the rest of what little time she has left. Or you can take your pick of any other girl and I promise not to punish them like I did Melanie here.”
James had been helpless the entire time and had to suffer watching the young, beautiful 17 year old girl be transformed into a very elderly and afflicted woman.
Suddenly he felt his body being released as he then ran over to Melanie. He grabbed a blanket and threw it over the shriveled naked body asleep on the sofa.
Choking back the tears and he looked at Elspeth. No, I still choose here. Even if this is the way I will have her. I will take care of her myself for the rest of her life. It doesn’t matter if she is old and grey, it doesn’t matter if she no longer recognizes me or knows who I am. She will be loved. And if you want to make me old too, then that’s fine, but I will not abandon Melanie!”
James then sat down next to the old woman and held her gently in his arms.
Elspeth stood silent for a moment looking at the scene before her.
“My guests will be arriving soon and I don’t have time for this. I must admit at being impressed James, you truly do love her……..”
