Selina woke the next day to a nurse gently shaking her. Yawning, she pulled herself to a sitting position as the nurse set down a tray of food in front of her. Selina started eating while the nurse walked over to unlock a cabinet on his cart to retrieve a medicine bottle.
When the nurse set down two pills in front of her Selina asked, "What are these?"
"Antibiotics. They'll help with your appendicitis."
Selina picked the pills up and regarded them for a moment while the nurse watched her expectantly. She reasoned that one uneeded dose of antibiotics shouldn't be a big deal, so she popped the pills in her mouth and swallowed them. The nurse seemed satisfied and walked back to the cart to write on a piece of paper then began walking away just as Selina felt her body start tingling before retracting inward. She felt as her legs seemed to be moving along the bed and as the last remnants of her breasts melted into her chest.
Once the sensation had passed, Selina first looked for the slippers and found them laying on the ground. The flash drive was were she had left it, but the bottle was nowhere to be seen.
Damn! She must have kicked them off while she was sleeping. Now thanks to the nurss mistaking them for antibiotics, she was down to 10. Taking a moment to glance in a mirror she found the drop from 12 to 10 wasn't small. Without any hint of curves or breasts to provide any shape to her small form there's little to recognize in the image of the girl barely out of single digits.
'But that doesn't matter right now,' she scolded herself. She can't afford to be worrying about how she looks when she's teetering in such a precarious position. While she might for the moment pass as an undeveloped 12 year old, it's unlikely her cover will hold up if she's dropped down to 8.
Which leaves her with not many options. She could cut her loses and try to escape now, the flash drive is still worth plenty though likely won't soon provide her client with the ability to restore her age. She could go after the medicine cart and try to retrieve the bottle now, which would risk being caught and questioned. Or she could wait until she's next supposed to take "antibiotics" and try to retrieve the bottle then, which might require her to take two more pills.
