Magic Chapter 74
Mark’s perspective:
Emily places her hands on her hips and looks at Julie, then at James.
“We’re going hunting.”
“Hunting?” James asks nervously.
“That’s your lesson.” Emily nods.
“To learn how to fight using your energy.” Tanya adds.
Julie stands.
“Oh! Wait! Julie, I’m sorry.” Emily says. “Take your clothes off again. We need to establish your baseline for the transformation spell.”
“Oh? Okay!”
Without hesitation, Julie starts stripping again.
“S-Sacral Feeders?” James confirms.
“Yes.” Emily nods.
“Here.” Tanya holds out her hand to James.
James tentatively reaches for it.
“Just until we get away from the house.” She adds.
Tanya passes him something.
James takes it in his fingers.
His binding ring.
Without hesitation, he puts it on.
“Ah! Hahahaaaah!” He gasps and trembles as the ring seels off his energy.
His erect penis shrinks and droops.
He inhales deeply as he stands up straight, giving his limp penis a few tugs.
Emily looks at me.
“Mark, just like us, you’re backup tonight.” She nods.
“Backup?” I ask.
“You KNOW how to fight- how to use your energy. This test is for James and Julie.” Emily explains. “So, keep your ring on unless we need you.”
I give my own limp penis a few tugs.
Christine takes my hand and squeezes.
“You okay?” I ask.
“Still a bit dizzy. Stay close?” She whispers.
I nod and squeeze back.
Emily looks at Christine holding my hand.
“What’s that about?” She nods.
“Nothing. I’m just not feeling too good right now. Mark is helping me.” Christine says bluntly.
“ ‘Helping you’?” Emily scoffs. “Helping you what?” She narrows her eyes.
“You were busy helping James and Julie, right? We had to keep OUR moms busy.” Christine explains.
“Oh? So thats why you need Mark’s ‘help’? Because you used so much energy keeping them ‘busy’?! We didn’t feel anything from up here!” Emily fires back.
“Hey!” I scold. “She’s not feeling 100% right now, and neither am I, so give us a minute!”
Emily seems stunned by my tone.
“Why? What’s wrong?” Emily’s tone shifts to concern.
“We-“ I hesitate for a moment. “We had some wine.”
“Oh?” Tanya gasps.
“Why?” Emily asks.
“We were playing cards and mom offered.” I explain.
“Oh.” Emily softens. “Well, sharpen up. This is important.”
“I’m fine.” Christine says flatly.
“You said I was ‘backup’ anyway, right?” I ask. “So I’ll watch out for her.”
“Oh?” Christine seems surprised.
Honestly, so am I.
Emily glares.
“You had wine?” Julie asks, now standing fully nude!
“Yeah. But just a bit.” Christine grins. “Did you learn the spells?”
“Mhmm!” Julie nods excitedly.
“Go ahead, Julie.” Emily smiles. “Just don’t focus on your energy yet.”
Julie grins.
“Right! To change into my witch costume, I say ‘Dissimulo et Mutatus’.” Julie says, sounding out each syllable.
“Good job!” Christine beams.
“That spell is for later, once you and James have your REAL outfits.” Emily explains.
“And the other spell?” Emily asks with a smug grin.
“Right. The ‘jump’ spell.” Julie nods. “Salire et Mollis Portum.”
Christine claps in response.
“You’re a natural!” Christine hugs her.
“James?” Emily looks at him.
“Um, right.” James starts. “Dissimilo et-“
Tanya cuts him off.
“Dissi-Moo-lo.” She corrects his pronunciation.
“Dissimulo et Mutatus.” James says, pronouncing it properly.
Tanya and Emily nod in approval.
“And the ‘jump’?” Tanya asks.
“Sa-lire et Mo-llis Por-tum?” James sounds it out.
“Good, James.” Emily nods.
“The incantation we used on the panties is a partial version of the one we used on our outfits.” She explains. “The spell will still activate along with your energy, hiding your identity, but you’ll need to put the panties on yourselves.”
James and Julie clutch the panties in their fists.
Tanya smiles as she traces a circle around his nipple.
“What happens if we don’t find a Sacral Feeder?” James asks.
“You’ll still be transformed and we’ll still use the jump.” Emily explains.
“You just won’t be able to practice fighting.” Tanya shrugs.
“No Sacral Feeders is good though, right?” I ask.
Emily sighs.
“I would say ‘yes’, but I’m hoping we find at least one so you can learn what it’s going to be like from now on.” She explains.
“Remember the shopping center?” Tanya asks Emily with a shiver.
Emily nods.
“Yeah. I don’t think we’ll have to worry about not finding at least one.” She says.
“But we’re not going that far, are we?” I ask.
Emily shakes her head.
“Just the park.” She explains.
“That’s not one of those ‘ceremony sites’ you told us about? Is it?” James asks.
“No.” Emily shakes her head. “We won’t be going anywhere near the ceremony sites.”
“Good. I definitely shouldn’t drive.” I sigh.
Emily shakes her head.
“Sharpen up.” She looks at Christine and I.
We both nod.
“I said I’m fine.” Christine says again.
“Mhmm.” Emily narrows her eyes.
“So we’re going?” Tanya asks.
Emily sighs, but nods.
“Yeah. Let’s go.”
She looks at James.
“Keep your ring on until we say.” She instructs.
James nods nervously, giving his limp penis a couple tugs.
“You know what to do?” I ask him.
“You mean when I find a Feeder? Y-Yeah. I think so.” He nods.
“You DO.” Tanya assures, rubbing his shoulder.
“I’ve got your back.” I nod to him.
James sighs and nods.
“And Julie?” Christine asks, winking at her.
“Mhm! Hmhmhm!” Julie squirms excitedly.
“James. Julie. Keep your ‘masks’ ready.” Emily nods.
James and Julie clutch their panties in their hands.
“Once we have your real outfits, you won’t need to worry, but before you transform tonight, you’ll need to put them on, okay?” Emily asks.
Julie and James nod.
“Alright, let’s go.” Emily ushers us out of the room.
Christine takes my hand again, holding us behind a little bit.
“You okay?” I whisper.
“Stay close?” She whispers.
I feel the warmth of her hand.
I squeeze it.
We follow the others down the stairs.
Emily, Tanya, James and Julie stand by the front door.
“I’ll tell our moms we’re leaving.” I say.
Christine lets go of my hand and I head to the dining room.
I hear our moms laughing as I enter.
“Hahaha! Don’t worry Lisa! James still has time. I’m sure he’ll grow.” Ms McLeod says.
“I know, I know. But I doubt he’ll reach Mark’s size. Gah! Gwen! Your boy has a mammoth’s trunk down there!” Ms Skinner says.
I freeze, bumping the door frame.
“Oh! Mark!” Mom says, setting her mug down.
“H-Hey. We’re, uh-“ I look at Ms Skinner.
She’s smiling at my penis!
“We’re heading to the park now.” I say.
Mom looks up.
I notice they’ve switched to drinking coffee.
At least they won’t be driving drunk, not that they have that far to go.
“Okay. Remember- not too late.” Ms Skinner says.
“Take care of James and the girls, Mark. You’re in charge.” Mom says.
Yeah, right.
“I will.” I pat the entrance frame, then turn and head back to the others by the front door.
“Oh, Mark.” Ms Skinner calls.
I pop back in.
“Yeah?”
“I assume you lot will be staying at yours tonight?” Ms Skinner asks.
I look at mom.
She just shrugs.
“It’s fine with me.” Mom sighs.
“Um, then, yeah?” I shrug.
“Right. Just be sure to stop back by here then to get some of their things, yeah?” Ms Skinner says.
“Will do.” I nod.
“We’ll stop by home and get my car to make it easier.” I say.
I turn and head back to the others by the front door.
“Simply MAMMOTH!” I hear Ms Skinner whisper as I leave.
I go to slip on my shoes, and notice my phone lit up in Emily’s bag.
I pick it up and see several text messages from Sam, Kat, Victoria and Carly!
From Kat:
“Happy Thanksgiving, Mark! Don’t forget to baste your turkey!


”
From Victoria:
“Hey! Happy Thanksgiving

Ugh! Mom waited too long to get an actual turkey, sooooo… she wen’t with turkey kielbasas instead?!! Seriously! Kielbasa?!
Weird though.
Looking at it on my plate, it looks kind of, familiar?”
From Carly:
“Hey! Happy Thanksgiving! Try not to eat too much!
Say, do you know anything non-dairy I could add to mashed potatoes to make them more ‘creamy’?
Grandma’s lactose intolerant.
Nvm.
I’ll google it.
Sam is here too, btw.
Of course she comes the ONE TIME we’re having tofurkey instead of turkey.
Ugh!


Also also. I know it’s early, but I’m setting up a Christmas party!
Would be awesome if you came!”
I open the several texts from Sam last:
“Yo! Marky! Happy Thanksgiving!
OMFG!
I’m at Carly’s for T-Day and they got a friggin’ tofurkey! Can you believe that?!”
Sam forwards a message from Victoria with a picture of a large sausage with the caption: “Yummy

”
“Was hoping we’d get to hang more since we were off school this week.”
“How was dinner?”
“Wish I could have had some REAL meat

“At least they got a decent pumpkin pie.”
“Sorry. You’re probably busy with festivities.”
“TTYL?”
I fire back a few responses to Carly, Kat and Victoria, but pause when I get to Sam.
I read back over her messages and can’t help but chuckle.
The way she’s been with me since the volleyball incident.
I feel my heart flutter.
“Mark?” Christine catches my attention.
“Huh? Oh! Right. Sorry. One sec.”
I type out my message to Sam.
“Hey! Happy Thanksgiving!”
I think for a moment before I send it.
I try to come up with a good response, but all I can come up with is “Try not to choke on it

”
I hit send.
I put my phone back in Emily’s bag and turn to Christine.
“Ready?” She asks.
“Yeah.” I say as I do a couple quick squats.
“Oh! Good call!” James says as he mimmicks me.
Our penises flop with the motion, making the girls giggle.
“Okay.” Emily looks at each of us.
“Remember. James. Julie. This is YOUR test. James, you’re also the bait.”
James shivers and looks scared.
“Mark is your backup though.” Emily nods at me.
“Julie?” Emily addresses her.
Julie nods.
“Don’t transform until we say. Okay?” Emily says. “I’ll protect you, no matter what though.”
James nods.
“Christine,” Emily looks at her.
She sighs.
“You’re with Mark on backup.”
“Got it.” Christine nods.
Emily turns to Tanya.
Christine takes my hand again.
She’s trembling!
“Hey. You okay?” I whisper.
Christine looks at me.
“Mhm!” She nods.
“Tanya, protect James. But only if he needs it.” Emily says.
Tanya hugs James’ arm.
“Got it.” She nods.
“Okay.” Emily grabs the doorknob. “Here we go.”
“Wait!” I say.
Everyone looks at me.
I don’t even know what to say, but after hearing Emily explain what the purpose of tonight is, I feel the urge to speak.
“Like James, now. I’ve got unlimited Sacral energy. So, if things get out of hand-“ I look at Emily. “I’ll fight for you all.”
“Hah!” Emily, Tanya and Christine gasp in unison.
Why did I say that?!
That was SO cheesy!
Ugh!
Emily steps up to me and lifts my chin.
She smirks.
“We know.” She smiles as she lets go.
“It’s not gonna come to that. Hmhm!” Tanya chuckles. “But thank you, Mark.”
Emily turns again and grabs the knob.
Christine squeezes my hand.
She leans up and whispers.
“Thank you.”
I squeeze back.
“Okay.” Emily opens the door. “Let’s hunt!”
