Seventeen

She woke up in the backyard, lying on her back, staring up at the full moon. The sky was bright and clear. Perfect like another full moon she recalled seven years ago. She sat up, discovering she was naked. Alarmed, she covered her chest and made a dash for the back door. It was locked, so she walked through the door into the kitchen, not even thinking about it until she was halfway down the hall to her bedroom upstairs.

She never walked through solid masses before as if they weren’t there, not without a spell. Her body had reconfigured; the door remained solid. A hidden talent, she told herself, manifesting itself during an emotional moment. Only normally, she would just transport herself where she wanted to go.

In the full length mirror, she checked herself out because she wasn’t feeling particularly herself, waking up in the middle of the night naked, when the last thing she remembered was—what? She looked at herself. Her hair was wild all over her head and lighter in color, burnished on the ends. And it was longer. Running her fingers through the tangles, she considered other changes. She looked thinner, yet her breasts were fuller.

What had happened? She took her robe, pulling it on as she left her bedroom and went down to the kitchen as hunger nagged at her stomach. She opened several cans of fruit cocktail, eating out of them with a spoon, then drinking the juice. The last can she took outside. Her cauldron was dry and clean, as it should be, because it had been months since she’d lit a fire. So much for the theory of being overcome somehow with fumes to the point of putting herself to sleep. Anyway, that wouldn’t explain being undressed, or the changes in her hair and body. Nor did it explain the loss of memory.

How much time did it take to lose about fifteen pounds, especially when you weren’t fat to begin with? And hair to grow about five inches?

She went back inside, locking the back door. Yawning, she felt tired and went upstairs before putting on a T-shirt and panties. Morning was soon enough to figure things out.

“Vee?” Hazel shook her some more. “Oh, come on. Wake up!”

She rolled over, wiping the sleep from her eyes. “I slept like a baby,” she said, throwing back the covers. “Morning, Grandma.” Hazel followed her to the bathroom.

“You feel okay?”

“I feel great,” she answered, flipping on the light switch.

She hurried about, getting ready to shower so as not to be late for work. Odd, she hadn’t heard the alarm go off. Then it hit her getting out of the shower. Where was the sunlight? Drawing back the curtain, she observed it was still night, but the moon wasn’t full and the sky wasn’t so clear.

“Grandma?” she came out of the bathroom knowing Hazel would still be there.

“Yes, baby?”

Hazel only called her baby when something was wrong. “What’s today?”
