I watch you fight to regain your balance as your shoes stick to the floor, stopping you in your tracks. Then you slip free and run toward me, stopping mid way to thrust an outstretched arm in the direction the bottle came for and mumble something. A small ripple leaves your fingers and travels through the air, getting bigger and stronger the further it travels. The first shelf in its wake wobbles, the second careens, and the third one is picked up as if by a hurricane and flung out, sweeping everything in it's path and crashing into the far wall.
I stand speechless for a moment. That demonstration of destructive magic reminded me why normal people fear and shun the magically gifted. I shudder thinking what could happen if I got on your bad side. Better not delve on such things...
"Fuck!" I hear somebody groan, then another voice joins in in a foreign language "Kurva čarodějnice! Utíkej!" followed by the sound of footfalls and a door slamming shut.
I peek out from behind the crate, then step out. Everything seems to be quiet. "Come on!" I motion for you to come out and start walking toward the far end of the warehouse, following the path of destruction. We proceed with caution. While our assailants seem to have retreated, the results of your spell seem to have taken out the power so most of the lighting is gone, making navigating around the debris somewhat more complicated. On the other hand, the reduced visibility makes us less of a target in case those people decide to come back.
As you go around a fallen cabinet, you step right into a shallow puddle of liquid pouring from a ruptured container. Good thing it wasn't glass so there are no sharp shards lying around, but you still get your socks soaked, making your feet feel wet and cold. The coldness does not last long though, and is quickly replaced by a warm tingling, which unfortunately appears to be accompanied by clumsiness, as you literally start tripping over your feet. After a couple of near falls, the next one catches you by surprise and you crash down on your butt. The noise makes me turn around and I gasp when I see that your feet are twice their normal size and still growing.
You quickly explain what happened and I look for something to dry your feet with. By the time I find a largish piece of fabric, you have already pulled your socks off, taking care not to touch the wet parts to avoid having your fingers suffer a similar fate. When I start towelling your enlarged feet off, you realize that they did not only grow larger but also became much more sensitive, and rubbing them with the cloth brings almost orgasmic sensations.
"Are you OK Kelly?" I ask with concern in my voice when I see you shudder under my touch and hear a soft moan escape your lips.
