Marcia felt the years tick by as she continued her frantic search. Once the braces vanished from her mouth she knew she was back to 6th grade. Then feeling her shirt brush against her chest without even a training bra to separate the two meant she was back to elementary school.
She had almost given up hope when finally she saw it. Inside of a unicorn lunchbox attached to her current bag was a gold amulet that might just...
"Aah!" Marcia shrieked in surprise when a furry hand grabbed her.
Only as the bag fell from her grasp did she realize the 'hand' was actually a small stuffed bunny clipped to the strap. Watching helplessly as the bag shifted one last time, the lunchbox vanished as the now small, plush bag landed softly on the floor.
At the same time the physical changes came to an end. Marcia felt a sudden breeze as her pants and shirt merged into a dress. The soft cotton underwear was also replaced by a strange papery material. Looking away from the bag, Marcia found her new green dress with short legs partially covered by a tall pair of red rain boots.
The banshee quickly lowered her back down. Still slightly above the ground, Marcia found the banshee's grip release and found her knees buckle from the unexpected jolt. Falling to her butt, she heard an unmistakable crinkle as the banshee picked up her jacket from the ground.
By the time the banshee was pulling the sleeves over her arms, the denim jacket had become a red rain coat covered in black spots. The banshee then picked up the backpack. Marcia saw that it was now shaped like a ladybug and had her name stitched in bright letters.
As the banshee buckled a strap across her chest, Marcia saw affixed to the straps was a tag that said:
My name is Marcia ______
I am _____ years old
Please call my _____ if found
It then listed a phone number and address.
