Rachel couldn't believe her eyes. "Cassie? No, it can't be..."
The girl simply nodded, and Rachel could see that she'd been crying. She was only wearing a pink tee-shirt with a red heart on the front, but at her current height, it easily came down to her knees.
She looked no older than ten, and with her delicate features, dark blue eyes, and long blonde hair, she was a positively adorable ten at that. Rachel had forgotten what a cute child her friend had been.
Moving closer, Rachel sat on the bed next to the girl. "How is this possible?"
Cassie sighed. "The phone rang earlier while I was changing out of my school clothes. I picked it up, and there was this girl on the other end. She said something I couldn't quite make out. I asked her to repeat herself, and she said I was going to get 'both'. You know that story we heard about as kids? 'Transform or Dare'? It's real, it's so real!"
"You mean...you're cursed?" Rachel was stunned. "Wait, if it's real, you just asked me..."
What does Rachel do?
