You twitch you tail once.
"Very well," the witch sighs, but then you find yourself twitching your tail again. The witch looks at you.
"Was that what I think it was?" she asks. For answer you twitch your tail once meaning yes. "So you'll let this young lady who betrayed you stay as a human? Do you not what revenge? Don't you want her to suffer as she allowed you to suffer? Aren't you angry?" she asks.
You think for a minute. Yes you were angry at her at first, and in truth you still are angry at her, but for some reason you just can't doom her to a lifetime of being a squirrel, especially after she's been through it herself. You scurry over to an old typewriter your mistress has and manage to type your message to the witch. The witch grabs the paper and reads.
"Not the right rhing to fo." she reads what you wrote. "Not the right thing to do I'll guess that means, hmmm? Well perhaps not." she strokes her chin. With that she casts a spell at you. You find "fingers" on your front paws growing longer. The paws their attached to start to grow as well. You begin getting taller and taller, the fur on your skin getting thiner and thinner as you do. Your bones shift, a painful sensation to be sure, but there is a small thrill you feel as well, because you know what's happening. Within moments you are your old self again. You gasp and make a few strange sounds as you get used to speaking again.
"What? What happened?" you ask.
"You passed the test, deary." the witch says "I've long believed that people often don't deserve their humanity. They don't appreciate it. They go about fulfilling their base desires never rising above. So I test people. Make them loose their humanity and only give it back when they've proven to me they deserve it." she says. "Which reminds me." She snaps her fingers and Amanda returns home in a puff of smoke. She looks confused until she sees the witch, then she looks terrified. She tries to run out the back door, but she's hit was the witches spell before she gets a second step. She stumbles to the ground, thick gray fur already beginning to form on her skin. She cries from pain and fear as small fluffy tail grows from her backside, which her rapidly shrinking form quickly grows into.
"Wait, stop I didn't want this!" you shout. The witch cast a spell and you fall backwards onto a chair, paralyzed.
"No interference. Her fate was sealed as soon as she decided to keep you from humanity. Had she tried to seek help, the test would have been entirely different." the witch says. She walks over to your former mistress and picks her up. She opens a cage which Amanda reluctantly goes into." She looks over to you "now don't feel too bad. This young lady will be returned to her tree in the park and eventually she will be tested again." she says and adds with a wry smile "As will you."
"What?" you exclaim
"Well, deary, once your a victim of my magic you never truly escape it. There will be tests for you again. Some when you least expect them. So be good." she says and snaps her fingers and disappears. As do you. You find yourself bolting upright from your bed, still clad in your pajamas, the clock says 11:46 pm, the day you took the walk in the park.
