Chapter Twelve
==============
Mary was in Michelle's room along with all of the Council members. They were all there to inspect, for themselves, how Michelle had been able to escape from such a secure room.
"How the fuck did this happen," asked one member. "This room is supposed to be secure. Even a Kithra can't escape from this room."
"That's why she escaped," Mary stated as she examined the lock on the window. "This room is designed to hold witches by negating their magical powers. If you take away a Kithra's power, they become useless. But Michelle is no Kithra, or at least not one with any powers. She obviously has other skills, like lock picking. We've underestimated Michelle's normal abilities."
"Why wasn't the window alarmed," the leader asked one woman whose responsibility it was for the rooms.
"Because it doesn't need to be," the woman replied. "I mean, the glass is bombproof and the lock is... almost pickproof, so what do we need an alarm for."
The leader nodded, accepting the explanation. It was a long running debate within their society about the over or underestimation of normals and their over reliance on witch powers. They had clearly made a mistake in putting Michelle in a room designed for Kithra.
Another member moved to the window to examine the lock, "We are assuming that she picked the lock. I mean, what if someone handed her a key? Sarah perhaps? She was in the room here."
"No," Mary interrupted. "That's what I thought at first. But I've checked and all the keys are accounted for."
"Mary," the leader asked. "Without being too crude... who the fuck was this guy?"
Mary was slightly shocked. It was so unlike their leader to openly curse, but she could understand his frustration. After escaping from a seemingly inescapable room, Mary was beginning to question exactly who Michael Curtis was. She just shrugged.
"Have we tried casting a Vision spell to see what happened outside," another person asked.
"It won't work," someone pointed out. "She's Kithra remember. You can only cast a Vision spell when at least one normal is present."
"So what do we do?" yet another person asked.
"Simple," Hank chirped in. "We get out there, we find her and we kill her."
*****************
Tina and Michelle were now at a secluded rest point. Tina knew that they were now well out of range of her group's ability to use magic against her, which allowed her to stop and explain things better to Michelle. Tina had just started the rest of her story.
"When our ancestors discovered the secret of magic, things began to improve. They were able to develop their powers. They could use them to hide and to make people forget what they saw. It was a turning point. The persecution against us stopped.
"Over the years, they refined all of their spells, including the Transformation spell. Today, it not only allows a witch the ability to channel magic, but also does a lot of behind-the-scenes stuff. Even if a new Kithra never learns magic, their body doesn't age or grow old.
"But a few decades later, as our numbers grew, we ran into a big problem. The powers of all witches started to slowly diminish. It took a few years for them to work it out, but it turned out that only a limited number of people in the world could be Kithra. It seems that there's a well of magical power and like any normal well, if too many people drink from it, it dries up. The maximum amount of witches at the time was around four hundred.
"The only solution was to strictly limit the number of witches. Now that's easier said than done, but there were already too many Kithra. Because of the huge power that a Kithra had, it wasn't something that any of them wanted to give up willingly.
"A civil war followed. Most of this went completely unknown to the rest of the world, but hundreds of us were killed in a matter of a few months. Straight away, the number of Kithra dropped to below four hundred so all their powers returned to full, but the killing didn't stop. Because, in the future, Kithra numbers would have to be strictly limited, the fighting continued as to whom would have control over this. We split into four factions.
"The war continued steadily over the years, with each faction developing more deadly spells to use against each other. The older witches found that they were able to defend themselves against offending magic fairly easily, but new members had no protection. Numbers were dropping even further. We were nearly making ourselves extinct because all new Kithra were being picked off almost instantly.
"Then, one year, a neutral member developed an addition to the main Transformation spell. When cast for the first time to transform someone into a witch, it would grant them innate magical protection. They would become immune to all other witches spells from the very first minute of being Kithra. It would protect that witch from virtually any spell, with healing spells about the only exception. He gave the secret to all of the factions at the same time.
"The war continued for a little longer, but all sides realized the new problem. Since they couldn't use magic against one another, they had to resort to conventional means to kill one another. Somehow, they realized just how silly they had all been. A truce was soon declared.
"However, the addition that grants a new Kithra innate protection has always remained even to this day. This means that once a person it turned into Kithra, they can never go back. They are stuck with that body for life.
"The factions settled down. They agreed that each group should be responsible for maintaining their own numbers and each group must keep their numbers below one hundred. The original factions were called the Falcons, which is our group, then the Eagles, the Kestrels and the Hawks, all the names of birds of prey.
"Sometime later, another hard line faction split away, The Ravens. But by then, we had managed to use our magic more efficiently, so the total number of witches could now be five hundred. So each group must still keep their numbers below one hundred with no exceptions."
Michelle had listened intently while Tina told this part of the story, but now interrupted, "So are you saying that your group is... full up. Is that what the problem is?"
"No." Tina replied. "There are ninety members of the Falcons. The truce that had lasted for so long broke down about twenty years ago. Over thirty members of our group were killed, including my father. Only now have our numbers returned to normal levels."
"I'm sorry," Michelle said. She had always been told that Tina's father had died in an accident.
"It's okay," Tina reassured. "It happened when I was young and I'm told that his death was the most meaningful. It brought in the Eagles, who helped us out and saved us. But after it all ended, our group was the hardest hit."
"So if there's room in your group, what's the problem then?" Michelle asked.
Tina took another deep breath; "It was also agreed long ago, that this secret must never come out. We might not all agree on everything, but all the groups are agreed on one thing... we must protect our secret... at any cost."
"So, they agreed that no person that hasn't been raised with magic in mind from birth, must NEVER be allowed access to magic... whatever the circumstances. All the groups must follow this to the letter."
"So what are you saying?" Michelle asked.
"It's simple. You're Kithra now. In less than a year, you'll be able to transform people. You'll be able to create new witches and those will be able to create more. If you do that, then the magical well will dry up. If that happens, you could end up destroying our very society."
Michelle was now just beginning to understand what was going on.
"B-But I wouldn't do that," she stuttered.
Tina looked deep into Michelle's eyes, "I believe you. I really do and so do many people in our group. But it doesn't matter. Our laws say that you should... be... killed..."
Michelle gasped. It was fortunate that she was sitting down because her whole body trembled and went weak. Although she had guessed that her life was in danger, to hear this from Tina was the final straw.
"You're not serious. Can't you... make an exception," Michelle suggested.
"Not according to the laws. They're absolute. No 'normal' can ever be allowed access to magic. No exceptions."
"B-But that's evil. That's murder," Michelle protested.
Tina just nodded. "I know. But they don't think it's evil. You see we live a VERY good life. We can use our magic to give us all the money we need. We never grow old. We're always young and beautiful and we hardly ever die below one hundred unless another witch kills us. Basically, we have heaven on Earth and most of us will do anything to protect that," Tina paused, "and if that means allowing an innocent person to die... they'll let it happen."
Michelle hung her head low. Tina just said nothing, allowing Michelle to think about what she had said.
"So, what does all this mean for me. Can I ever be a guy again?" Michelle asked after a prolonged pause.
"It's possible," Tina replied which caused Michelle's mood to brighten up, "but it's unlikely," which shattered it again.
"Explain," Michelle demanded.
"Okay, there are two ways to become a guy again. The first way is to learn magic. You'll still need training, but that's not hard. After about six months, you'll be able to transform yourself, just like I can."
"But there's a catch," Tina said. Michelle guessed that there had to be. Tina continued, "If you were to transform someone else, the transformation would be permanent, but if you ever transform yourself, it's purely temporary. Because your ability to channel magic is keyed to this physical form, then as soon as you deviate from this form, any powers you have will start to diminish. Once your powers disappear, you'll revert back to this form again and your powers won't return for months. So you can transform yourself, but not for long."
"How long?" Michelle asked.
"It depends on how far you want to go. If you want to turn yourself into another woman, you should be able to maintain it for days, maybe even weeks, depending on how radical the change is.
"But what if I want to be a guy"
Tina looked down and sighed, "To be a... genetic male, you've got to change your whole body. It takes enormous power just to maintain that form. If you don't cast any other spell, you can probably be a guy for five or six hours per week."
"Six hours per week," Michelle shouted. "That's no fucking good to me," she snapped, thinking that perhaps she could have become Michael again semi-permanently. But six hours was virtually useless if she wanted to live an entire life as a man. However, she quickly realized that she shouldn't get so cross with Tina, "Sorry. It's not your fault," Michelle said.
"No. You're wrong. It IS my fault. You'll probably hate me for life."
"Oh Tina," Michelle called as she put her hand on Tina's, "How could I ever hate you. I know this was an accident now. I don't blame you," she reassured Tina. Michelle began to feel even more guilty as she guessed that her own powers were responsible again.
Tina smiled, happy that Michelle bore her no malice, although she doubted that she would ever be able to forgive herself for the pain she had inflicted on Michelle, regardless of whether Michelle blamed her or not.
"What's the other way?" Michelle asked interested. She had a feeling from the way that Tina was talking that the second option wasn't much better than the first.
"There is a holy time for witches. Call it Halloween if you will, when the power of witches reaches a peak. We call it the Spectacle. At this time, it's possible for witches to link together strip away your magical protection. Then we could turn you back into Michael again permanently. It hasn't been done in decades, so I'm not sure if it will even be possible now, but it's the only other option."
Michelle immediately brightened up a little, "Well, Halloween is only a few months away. I think I can live like this for a few months."
"No," Tina interrupted. "31st October is the time normals celebrate Halloween. It's not the real Halloween for us."
Michelle was again brought back down to Earth with a thud. She cursed herself for thinking that it could have been that easy. If it had been that easy, Tina would have mentioned it earlier, "When is it then?" she asked. She had an awful feeling that Tina was going to say something like "last week" and she would have to wait a full year.
"It doesn't happen every year. It's based on an astronomical event."
Suddenly a year was starting to look much more appealing to Michelle, "When is it then?" she repeated.
"It happens around every eighteen months," Tina stated.
"And when is the next... occurrence?" Michelle asked. She could tell from the torturous way that Tina was drip-feeding the information that it would not be any time soon.
"Well, you know when you saved our lives three months ago. We were on our way to celebrate the event then. I'm sorry, but the next Spectacle is fifteen months away, ironically around Halloween next year"
Michelle just hung her head in defeat again. That meant that Michelle would be forced to live as a woman for over a year.
Michelle said nothing, so Tina continued, "To make things worse, it has to be done at our holy site where the other groups would be present. So, we would have to tell the other groups about you. If we do that... your life might be put in danger."
"What a fucking choice," Michelle said. "Eternal womanhood or risk death just for the chance of being a guy again. I wish I'd never asked."
There was another lengthy pause as Michelle's mind attempted to digest the new information. Again, Tina remained silent allowing Michelle to think.
"So what happens. If I can't be a guy again and your bunch want to kill me, what do I do now?" Michelle asked.
Tina thought carefully for a moment as she tried to think rationally. Tina was beginning to question that her group really intended to hurt Michelle. Doubts were creeping into her mind that running had been the best thing to do.
However, Tina knew that the past could not be undone. They had made a split decision and now they both had to live with the consequences.
"That's up to you," Tina eventually replied. She was trying to leave the full decision with Michelle. Tina felt a little cowardly at that, but realized that it was a decision that only Michelle could make fully. "We can go back to the mansion and I'll try to smooth things over, or we can... run."
Michelle started ahead blankly for a few minutes, attempting to balance all the arguments. She spoke after a few minutes. "I'm not sure I can go back, even if things are okay. That Hank said he wanted me dead. But how will I manage on my own," Michelle complained, realizing that she had very few options.
"You won't be on your own," Tina reassured as she took Michelle's hand. "I'll be with you all the way. I'll take care of you and I won't let anyone hurt you."
"Won't they be able to track us down using magic?" Michelle asked.
"Not easily. We should be safe as long as we stay well away from them," Michelle replied.
Michelle thought for a moment. Running away like that hadn't been what she'd planned. But as she tried to contemplate everything that had happened, she realized that she had little choice but to keep on running.
"I can't go back," Michelle decided, then paused slightly. "It looks like I'm a girl on the run now," Michelle said as she smiled slightly.
"Come on, we need to put some more distance between Boston and us," Tina said as she started the engine and drove back onto the interstate.
*****************
"Mary. I SWEAR I had nothing to do with it," Sarah begged to Mary.
"Then how else did she escape," Mary interrupted.
"I don't know," Sarah pleaded.
Mary looked closely at Sarah. She could see from the look in her eyes, that she was telling the truth. She might have revealed some information to Michelle, but Mary was reasonably sure that she didn't help her to escape.
Mary sat down beside Sarah sighing, "I don't know. This whole situation is getting worse. Why the fuck did she try and escape?"
"Do you think it's because I forced her to wear that dress," Sarah confessed. She was feeling guilty that she had pushed Michelle so hard, but at the time, she though it was the best thing to do. After all, there was nothing Michelle could do; she had to accept things. Escape was impossible, or so everyone though.
"No, it's nothing to do with that dress. She heard us talking in the hallway. When she thought we were going to kill her, she escaped," Mary concluded, answering her own question. "I would have done the same," Mary pointed out.
However, Mary was aware that although she would have done the same as Michelle, she wouldn't have been able to break out of the room, despite being a very powerful witch. But if Sarah didn't help Michelle, then how did she escape. The locks on the windows were the best money could buy. Was Michael Curtis some sort of expert jewel thief? No architect could have picked those locks.
"What are the others saying," Sarah asked. She knew that Michelle's escape would not have earned her any new friends within the group.
Mary sighed again, then replied, "Hank's loving it. Up until now he was restrained, but now Michelle's given him all the ammunition he needs. He's now calling for her to be shot on sight."
"B-But they wouldn't actually do it would they?" Sarah pleaded. "I mean, all this about killing her. It's just talk, isn't it?"
Mary looked Sarah in the eyes and said, "Before she escaped, yes it was just talk. Hank was just blowing hot air. Even when we were outside Michelle's room and he called for her to be executed; he was just kicking up a storm. But now that she's escaped right under our noses... it's put people on edge. I still don't think we'll hurt her, but... it's made other's think twice."
"I won't let that happen," Sarah called out defiantly.
"Neither will I Sarah," Mary reassured her. "It'll be okay as long as we get her back quickly. If you know anything Sarah, please tell me. It's for the best."
"I'm sorry Mary. I wish I could help, I really do..."

Chapter Thirteen
================
Tina drove for several more hours, until late into the evening. They soon passed out of Massachusetts and into New York State. Michelle kept seeing road signs that she recognized. She knew that New Jersey was only a few hundred miles away. There was a part of her that wanted to force Tina to drive there now, so that she could be with her family.
But she knew, deep inside, that such action was impossible. New Jersey would be the first place the Falcons would look and also, there was nothing there for her. Although her family were now probably grieving over the loss of Michael, Michelle knew that if she turned up, they would never believe her. They would simply call the police, believing she was a mad woman.
To pass the time and attempt to forget about her home, Michelle kept continually digesting everything that had been said to her. It was a lot for her to take in all at once, so she asked Tina some more supplementary questions for confirmation.
To sum it all up, she was now a witch, just like all the others back at that mansion. But because of some ancient law, her mere existence as a witch posed a threat to all other witches. Therefore, some of the groups, although not completely evil, were definitely hard line and were quite prepared to sacrifice Michelle in order to safeguard their lifestyle.
She also found out, that Tina's group, were for the most part sympathetic to Michelle's cause, especially since she had saved the lives of three of their members. However, a certain section of the Falcons, namely Hank and his supporters, felt that they couldn't afford to attempt to protect Michelle, because their numbers were still suffering from a battle some decades ago. If the other groups discovered that the Falcons were harboring an illegitimate witch, it would give them both the excuse and desire to wipe them out.
Apparently, Hank had been the person whose fighting actions saved the Falcons from being killed off twenty years ago, so although the majority of the Falcons do not share his opinions, they all feel indebted to him and he is given a certain amount of leeway in his actions. His very presence, on the Council of Falcons tends to make the other groups think twice and all of the Falcons know that. He's considered a loose cannon that no-one wants to fix.
Michelle had also gained some basic knowledge of the internal politics of the witch culture. Tina's group, the Falcons were fairly liberal. The Eagles were peace loving and wouldn't hurt Michelle, but the other three were a serious problem because they were increasingly hard line, especially the Ravens. Although none of these groups went looking for trouble and tended to stay out of the way, they were ruthless in their actions and would consider killing Michelle to be an obligation.
She also discovered that the witches tended to live a good life. They didn't get involved in the affairs of normals, preferring to enjoy themselves. Although they could use their powers to dominate and rule, they usually didn't do that, mostly because they didn't actually gain anything, except possible exposure.
Michelle had also asked supplementary questions about being a man again. Apparently, she would, after a time gain the ability to turn herself back into a full male, but only for a few hours per week, assuming she cast no other spells.
That wasn't much good, but there were alternatives. She could simply transform parts of her body, in effect remaining female from the waist down but just having a male appearance. However, because her current appearance was so completely feminine, even that change would be quite radical, so Michelle would be lucky to spend any more than two days per week in a male body.
There was also more bad news. Her ability to channel magic was keyed to her current physical form. The main Transformation spell was designed to make sure that a witch's body never deviated from that form, in any detail and that included things like hair and fingernail length.
If she attempted to cut off her long hair, it would merely grow back to waist length within a few days. The same would apply to her nails and everything else. Although she could attempt to continually cut her hair and nails everyday, it would be a huge sap on her magical power and would severely hamper her ability to channel magic.
After she had learned magic, she could transform herself to make her hair and nails shorter and these changes could last for a while, but it would still be a temporary measure.
Apparently, any deviation from a witch's 'natural' form puts a drain on their magical energy and such energy can only be recharged in their natural form. Sarah, Mary and Tina's grandparents still look like twenty-five year olds for most of the time, but because Sarah is supposed to be a mother to Tina and Andrew, she ages herself while in the company of others and reverts to her natural youthful look while alone.
Tina said that the Council had been going over plans for daily haircuts to limit Michelle's potential power, but had held back for the time being as there was little point, because Michelle would not be casting spells for several months at the earliest.
At that point, Michelle had to ask Tina a question. She wanted to know how old Tina was. After learning the information that Kithra do not age, Michelle was wondering if Tina was really an eighty-year old woman. However, Tina reassured Michelle that she was, in fact in her mid twenties, as her appearance dictated. It was usual, in their society, for new Kithra to live as normal lives as possible, with parents still fully on the scene, up until around thirty-five. After all, they had plenty of time.
Then Michelle diverted her attention to her own powers. She thought that she really should tell Tina about her telekinetic abilities, but something was still holding her back. After three years of keeping them secret from everyone, it was so ingrained within her personality to keep them secret, even from Tina. She though that she should keep Tina on a 'need to know' basis. But, she decided that if everything panned out over the next day or so, she would reveal her power to Tina.
There was one awkward moment, when Tina asked Michelle how she had escaped. Michelle stuttered slightly, before saying that the window hadn't been locked fully and that Michelle had been able to open the window and climb down. Michelle could see that Tina didn't completely believe her, but didn't want to call her a liar. Michelle knew that this point would come up continually unless she thought of a better explanation.
Eventually Tina suggested that they find a motel for the evening. Tina had to do this, because Michelle's chemical attractions were driving her wild with desire. Tina had deliberately put the air-conditioning on to keep the car cool and thus reduce the effects, but she was beginning to smell her own sex and she knew that Michelle would soon guess what was happening.
Even without Michelle's pheromones, Tina knew that she would have no trouble making love to Michelle in her current form. Although she was mostly interested in guys, like most of the Kithra, she had become bisexual since her transformation because she now had the ability to become male for short periods of time. But she felt that making love to Michelle now would be taking advantage of her situation and that Michelle wouldn't have much choice in the matter. It would be like raping her. So she made a promise to herself that she wouldn't let it happen until Michelle was ready for it.
As it turned out, Michelle could detect the smell of sex in the air, but she believed it was her own. Ever since she had first awakened that day, she had felt a mild sexual excitement running through her body, which seemed to grow throughout the day. But since escaping, the feeling of excitement had grown into a light sexual craving. It was beginning to worry her because she couldn't explain it. After all that had happened, how could she possibly feel horny?
She wasn't sex starved or anything like that. She didn't feel like a sex craved nymphomaniac, but she felt a definite desire for something, more like a hunger. She continually tried to cross her arms and inconspicuously attempt to knead her nipples to provide the relief they ached for, but it did little good. If anything, it just made her feel more frustrated. She was very relieved when Tina suggested they find a motel, so they pulled into the next available one.
As they pulled into the parking lot, Michelle allowed Tina to sort out the room details. At first, she was afraid that Tina might telephone the Falcons and report her position. She instantly realized that she had to stop such feelings of paranoia. She knew that she would have to start trusting someone eventually and if she couldn't bring herself to trust Tina now, she might as well give up.
When Tina returned with the room key, Michelle discovered that she would have to walk some thirty feet to the door of the room. Dressed as she was, that thirty feet seemed like a hundred miles. There was a diner across the parking lot and as soon as she closed the car door and started walking, she was sure that she could feel some eyes upon her.
When they were inside the room, Michelle felt the first thing she had to do was get out of her dress. She hated wearing it. She tried to reach behind and unzip it, but she couldn't manage it. Seeing her frustration, Tina stepped over and unzipped it for her. As the garment fell to the floor, Tina found that she was unable to tear her eyes away from Michelle's body.
Whenever a prospective person is transformed into Kithra, they effectively get to choose their own body, right down to the small details. However, they are given very strict warnings about going over the top because they will have to live with their new body for the rest of their lives. They spend many hours, going over the fine details with the person that will transform them. Therefore, they all good look, but none of them look as stunning as Michelle.
Tina was no exception to this. Before her transformation, she was a very ordinary nineteen-year-old girl with glasses. At the time of her transformation, Tina preferred the refined look, so her new body was slightly fuller with 36C breasts and a much more athletic body. Tina had been perfectly happy with the new self.
Over the years, Tina had occasionally turned herself into a sex goddess with a voluptuous body, much like Michelle's. She knew it could be fun for a few days, watching all the guys drooling over her, tripping over themselves and rushing to open the door for her. But she couldn't begin to imagine the problems involved in living like that permanently where the guys look no further than the bust line. Tina knew this was a problem Michelle would have to get used to by herself. Tina could only offer her support in that matter, but little else.
Tina's thoughts were broken when Michelle walked away and turned around. Tina looked at Michelle in her underwear, which only made her own arousal grow. She could see that Michelle was looking down at her breasts. Suddenly Tina noticed that Michelle's nipples were poking straight out. Even her bra couldn't hide the fact they were rock hard.
"Tina," Michelle asked looking up with an awkward expression on her face. "I have a question."
"Yes," Tina replied.
"Erm... it's err... kind of embarrassing," Michelle said, finding it difficult to phrase the question.
"What?" Tina asked.
"It's... err... just that... I-I've been so... horny today," Michelle said embarrassed, going slightly red.
Tina's eyes widened slightly. Although she remembered the pheromone enhancements, the other enhancement had slipped her mind. Because these enhancements were only temporary, she was hoping that she wouldn't have to tell Michelle about them. It seemed one thing too many for Michelle to handle. But Tina realized that it was bothering Michelle.
"Yeah. That's normal," she replied, thinking quickly. She thought that brushing it off might be the best approach. She didn't want to hide anything from Michelle, but she believed that it was in her best interests. She could understand that being turned into a woman was bad enough, but finding out that she would be a horny sex magnet would probably be too much.
"Normal?" Michelle asked.
Tina nodded. "It's a side effect of the transformation," Tina said truthfully, although she neglected to mention that she was responsible for that particular side effect. "You'll be horny for the next week or so. But after that, you'll be fine. You'll have a normal female sex drive."
"S-So I'm not turning into a bimbo then," Michelle said, seeking reassurance.
"No. Aw, did you think you were," Tina said, walking up to Michelle until she stood right in front of her. She could now understand why Michelle was so worried about feeling horny.
Michelle nodded, "Yeah. I err... thought that maybe because I looked so good, that I err... might be turning into a slut."
"No. It's just a side effect, nothing more," Tina said, taking her hand.
"So... err... what do I do now. I mean, how do I... err... stop feeling horny?" Michelle asked.
As Michelle was asking that question, she was half thinking that Tina would suggest taking an aspirin or something. But as soon as she completed her question, she realized that there was only one way to truly satisfy sexual cravings and Tina knew it as well. Their eyes locked together in silence. They were standing right in front of one another, less than a foot apart and an invisible force pulled their lips closer together until they finally touched.
The next few minutes were a complete blur to both Tina and Michelle. Before either of them could even think, they were both on the bed tenderly kissing and touching one another.
Before she could do anything, Michelle found herself lying on her back as Tina straddled her stomach. Tina's hands found their way to Michelle's bra and her palms rubbed Michelle's hard nipples through her bra.
Michelle groaned involuntarily. Her body had been strained to the point of sexual frustration. She had no idea what Tina could do to help her, but at that point, she didn't care. She just wanted Tina to keep doing what she was doing.
Tina sat up and slowly unbuttoned her blouse. Although Michelle was in her underwear, Tina was still fully clothed. Tina took her time with each button, teasing Michelle to the limit. Michelle had been long dreaming of the time when she would finally see Tina in all her naked female glory. She never imagined that she would also be a naked female
In a matter of minutes, they were both naked and cavorting on the bed. Tina was in awe of Michelle's sexual body. In all her years as a witch, she had only made love to other Kithra. Because of that, her partners could be in several guises and she had often made love to the bodies of various movie stars and other famous people. But there was always something special about making love to another Kithra in their natural form.
Tina also had to marvel Michelle's natural form; with her soft curvy body, her full lips and incredible breasts. Her body was truly perfect.
Tina resumed her position of straddling Michelle's stomach. Smiling devilishly, she put her right down to Michelle's groin. After a little more teasing, she inserted first one, then a second finger into Michelle's wet hole, relieving the craving Michelle ached for.
She then rested her own groin on the back of her hand, then slowly, Tina started pumping her whole body in and out.
Michelle, who was lying on her back, could do nothing but allow Tina to finger fuck her. Each thrust from Tina elicited an involuntary gasp of pleasure from Michelle.
As Michelle's hands moved to caress her breasts, her pleasure level was sent skyward.
"Oh God," she cried as Tina ruthlessly pumped her as Michelle's groans grew louder. Michelle tried to stay quiet, but she couldn't. It was like a reflex reaction. Every time Tina's fingers pushed into her hole, she felt compelled to gasp.
"Oh God," Michelle repeated a few minutes later as she felt a familiar sensation; a sensation that she had felt two days ago in her hotel room.
"I think I'm gonna come," Michelle cried as she felt an approaching orgasm. Part of her wanted to resist, not wanting to accept that most feminine thing. But although she easily had the physical strength to stop Tina, she couldn't do it. Her body wouldn't let her. She had to let Tina fuck her.
Tina didn't let up. In fact, she pushed harder and deeper, using every method she could to push Michelle over the edge.
"Oh God," Michelle cried one last time as she reached a peak and the first wave came crashing down upon her. Michelle's whole body shook as she cried out. Michelle tried to stop herself from screaming, but it was impossible. She couldn't control herself.
Tina still did not let up. She continued to fuck Michelle relentlessly, thrilled that she had been able to provide such pleasure for Michelle. Just as Tina saw that Michelle was beginning to come down from her heights, Tina renewed her efforts and pushed further, forcing Michelle to climax hard again.
After what seemed an eternity, Michelle came down from her second successive orgasm. Tina finally slowed her pace and eventually stopped. Michelle was relieved. She didn't think she could take any more. The jerk off in the hotel room two days ago had been good, but it didn't even begin to compare to what she'd just felt.
Tina eventually withdrew her soaking wet hand. She then moved up the bed, finally straddling Michelle's face, with her pussy just inches above her mouth.
"Your turn," Tina said.
Michelle hesitated for full second, before her head lifted up and her tongue darted out of her mouth and into Tina's waiting pussy.
After the extreme pleasure that Tina had enforced upon her, Michelle felt obligated to repay the gesture.
Michelle licked tenderly on Tina's pussy, sucking and probing her enlarged clitoris. Finger fucking Michelle had left Tina so sexually frustrated that she had to have her own relief. As she looked down and saw Michelle eating her out, she knew that her own climax would not be far away.
"Yeah. Bring me off," Tina whispered.
Michelle had never quite known what to do when performing oral sex on a woman, but right now, she knew that she was doing something right, so she simply pushed her tongue in deeper.
Tina orgasmed soon afterwards. Although Tina's body shuddered and she gave a loud moan, Michelle instantly noticed that Tina's climax had been nothing compared to her own. Michelle continued to lick away at Tina's juices until Tina came down completely from her peak.
"See," Tina said when it was finally over as she lay beside Michelle. "Being a woman's not so bad."
Michelle just smiled back; not saying anything because she felt embarrassed that she'd enjoyed it so much. They were just lying on the bed as Tina continued to stroke Michelle's body.
Tina felt a little guilty. She had promised to herself that she would not give in to the pheromones that compelled her to make love to Michelle. But when she was standing in front of Michelle and she told Tina that she was equally horny, Tina found that she simply couldn't hold out. Her body didn't act fully under her own control.
Still, it appeared to work out all right. Michelle, although embarrassed, had clearly enjoyed it and it did solve her horniness.
"God that felt good," Michelle said after a pause. "Why did it feel so good?" she asked Tina.
"Because that's what your body was designed for," Tina replied.
"But I thought you said I won't turn into a bimbo," Michelle said, with the tone of her voice showing some concern.
"You won't," Tina replied. "I told you that you'd be horny for the next few weeks. But your body was designed for sex. It's very... sensitive in those places. You won't always be horny, but you'll always... enjoy sex."
"B-But if I'm gonna enjoy it so much, what's to stop me from turning into a slut anyway?" Michelle asked, worried.
Tina swallowed, worried about that very fact, but she did her best to hide it from Michelle. "A lot. Nothing's changed up top. It's still you in there," Tina said as she tapped Michelle's forehead. "There's a big difference between a girl that's horny and a girl that enjoys sex. Right now, you're both, but it'll be okay."
Michelle relaxed again, assured by Tina's comments, but Tina was still very anxious, because she knew that even after Michelle's hormone level dropped to normal levels, she would still be left with a body that was designed for one thing in mind - sex. That sex session had just confirmed one of Tina's fears. Michelle's body was extremely sensitive in certain places. Tina saw that Michelle could do nothing but allow Tina to please her. She was helpless.
Because of that, Tina also knew, that if Michelle did ever allow a man just to touch her in those areas, she would probably find her heart melting quicker than an ice cube in Arizona.
What frightened Tina was the fact that if Michelle did start to enjoy sex so much, she could so easily become addicted to it. Tina, like all the other Kithra, had the ability to increase her own body's sexual sensitivity so she knew how addictive it could be. The only thing that held back those addictions was the fact that such sensitivity could only be temporary.
However, for Michelle, such sensitivity was permanent. If she ever learned magic, she could decrease her sensitivity temporarily, but by that time, she might not want to. In short, although Tina had denied it, she knew that it was possible that Michelle could end up as a slutty bimbo over time.
But in the end, Tina knew that all she could do was guide Michelle and help her. She wanted to try to avoid it, because if Michelle did up end as a bimbo, Tina would feel as if she killed Michael by transforming him. Tina knew that the old Michael was already gone forever and a gradual change was inevitable. However, Michael would continue to live on in Michelle and Tina wanted to try to ensure that as much of Michael's personality remained intact.
"So how long will that satisfy me for?" Michelle eventually asked in a joking nature, breaking Tina's thoughts.
"I don't know," Tina replied. "Like I said, your horny nature is a side effect of the transformation," again, Tina neglected to tell Michelle that she was completely responsible for that particular side effect. "But it'll settle down in time, say about a week."
Michelle didn't exactly like the idea of being a horny female for week, but she felt reassured that Tina was there to help her through it all.
"What would happen if you weren't here to satisfy me?" Michelle asked.
"You'd probably end up screwing a guy," Tina joked back, which made Michelle look very nervous. The mere thought that she could ever have sex with a guy was very unnerving for her.
"Hey, that was a joke," Tina reassured but she could see from the look on Michelle's face that she was far from being totally assured. "Look. You don't ever have to have sex with a guy if you don't want to. You can spend the rest of your life being a lesbian if you want."
"But it's so unnatural being a lesbian," Michelle complained without thinking. She stopped herself instantly as she realized she arguing for her self to sleep with a guy. A very insecure feeling swept through her.
"Don't worry," Tina reassured. "You'll be fine. If you want to sleep with a guy, then go ahead. If not, then don't. And if you do ever want to try it, you don't have to go and pick up a guy. I can always grow a cock for a short time if you want," Tina paused allowing Michelle to think, "it's not a problem. Take your time."
Michelle was slightly reassured. Although Tina had transformed her, she still trusted Tina. She felt that Tina would never allow her to come to any harm.
"So Tina. If I ever become a full witch, what powers will I have? I mean what can you do?" Michelle asked. Although she was still thinking from the tactical point of view, Michelle was asking it more out of curiosity now.
"Well, we're very powerful, but only in a narrow field. You see, apart from a few exceptions, our powers only affect living things. We can transform people. We can heal our bodies, so we never get sick or ill and we can keep a youthful appearance."
"So, will I ever die then," Michelle interrupted.
"Yes. We're not immortal. If you walk outside and a truck knocks you over, you'll die. We can't heal fatal wounds, just as we can't prevent death. When your time comes, that's it. But we can prolong it. You'll live until you're at least ninety and anything up to a hundred and fifty without aging a single day unless you want to."
"So what about other things, say..." Michelle paused, "telekinesis."
"No. That's beyond our power" Tina replied, which shocked Michelle. "Like I said, we can only affect living things. We can hurt people if we want to. We can create illusions in people's mind and we can even make ourselves invisible to normal people. We have limited mind control and telepathy, but we can't turn lead into gold or anything like that. We can't affect anything inanimate."
"So... in the wider sense, you're not all that powerful then, are you?" Michelle pointed out.
Tina shook her head, "No and against other witches, even that power becomes useless. But the power we have gives us an edge in life. We all live very comfortable lives and because of that, a lot of us will... do anything to protect our lifestyle."
Michelle fully understood was Tina was trying to say. Her own telekinetic powers gave her a different, but equal edge in life and although her own powers were minor compared to theirs, Michelle could live an extremely comfortable life with the aid of her telekinetic powers.
However, the news that the witches did not have the power of telekinesis was shocking. Michelle would have been prepared to bet that her telekinetic powers had something to do with Tina's witch powers, but that hypothesis was starting to look very shaky.
Michelle was just beginning to feel that maybe she might have found a new home with these witches. She was even thinking about telling Tina about her powers, believing it may help her cause to be accepted. But when Tina told her that telekinesis was not possible, Michelle withdrew from her plan.
As Michelle turned to look at Tina, she noticed a small circular pendant on her neck. Although she hadn't paid much attention to it before, it had the engraving of a bird on it, which Michelle guessed was a falcon.
Tina noticed where Michelle's eyes were concentrated. "It's the symbol of our group," she said as she picked it up in her hand.
"Here, you wear it," Tina suggested.
"Oh no, I couldn't," Michelle replied. She could tell that the pendant was dear to Tina's heart.
"No. I insist. I can always get another one," Tina said as she unfastened the chain.
Michelle relented so Tina fastened the chain around her smooth neck. "You're one of us now," she said as she kissed Michelle gently on the neck. The couple continued to cuddle one another, finally falling to sleep in each other's arms.
