CHAPTER 8

High heels clattered on the concrete like nails into a coffin. Long, beautifully sculpted legs followed. Hair as luscious as silk, cheekbones as supple as rose petals, breasts like perfectly ripe fruit all adorned a girl whose beauty was nearly blinding. A chic Chiffon crop top and million dollar jeans only accentuated her dazzling looks. She made her way toward the mansion, was flanked by two friends who normally would be the beauties in a room, but beside her looked as plain as door knobs. It was amazing what a difference a semester—and some magic—can make.

The girl who made her way towards the entrance of the party had once had scraggly, sandy blonde hair. But she had always wanted dark hair, dark with just a tinge of red. She had always wanted moist plump lips, a couple of inches more on certain places of her body, a couple of inches less in others. She had even wanted to be taller, stronger, had wanted her skin which was impossible to tan, to be tanned. She had once thought it impossible to look like this idealized version of herself, but nothing was impossible to her anymore.

To say that Emily had become the “it” girl in less than a school year would've been completely wrong. More accurately, she had become the “all” girl. She could get perfect grades. Had limitless amounts of money, could befriend anyone, dazzling them with her beauty, charm and intelligence. She could beat the entire debate team in debates, was in better shape than all the track stars, had every guy gawking at her from the geekiest nerd to the brawniest jock and everything in between.

They say that a starving person will eat themselves to death if suddenly given too much food. Emily was smart enough to know that she was dangerously close to going down that road, but intelligence cannot conquer the impulses of the human heart, for as powerful a witch as she was becoming, she was still that girl who never felt accepted, never felt she had been acknowledged, never received praise and admiration. Now she had these things and was drinking of them, gorging herself for the years she never had them. And after all, Dee had her alternate identity of Sandy. For very human reasons, most mages kept some connection to the mundane world, some identity there. Few were the ones who could truly dive into the world of the arcane, travel in strange dimensions and among supernatural beings to the exclusion of humanity. And so, if she were going to keep a semblance of a human life, why not make it one of utter enjoyment?

She walked with her two girlfriends, Gianni and Nicole, to the basketball team’s after game party Emily had deemed worthy of her presence, if only for a few fashionably short moments. It was at a house somewhere between lavish and full blown mansion. It was very modern with large, exotic plants all around the exterior, large angular columns framing gigantic windows.
