Part 7

There was another bright flash and when it faded Rachel found herself sitting in the front passenger seat of a car in the parking lot of the Rusty Nail tavern.

“Woah, déjà vu,” Rachel said.

"Here, these are for you." Paige held out a pack of cigarettes. She wore a tight leather skirt and a silky black blouse that showed more than it hid.

“Thanks,” Rachel said, distractedly. Her attention was on the group of men and women standing near a line of Harley Davidson motorcycles. It was the members of the local motorcycle gang, The Lords of Chaos. 

“Are you ready to do this?” Paige said and then lit a cigarette.

“I want to say hi to Mom first.” Rachel opened the passenger door. She wore a backless pink clubbing dress and a pair of black stilettos.

Part 6

Rachel decided that it was okay to talk about what was really going on now that Terrance had allowed Cody to witness the magic take place and remember it.

“Yeah, about that. You may not believe this, but magic is real and this guy has been changing me and my sister and daughter. I didn’t look like this at the start of the evening, trust me. Especially these.” She motioned toward her large tits. “I was also a lot older and he promised that I could change back if we beat those other two.”

Cody’s expression darkened. “I have a bit of a confession to make too. I saw a creepy guy talking to you and thought you might need rescuing so I manipulated Lance and Jackson into picking you as my partner. Turned out great. You’re an amazing pool player. What are the chances?”

“You can see Terrance too? He said he picked me because I had the sight. He’s the one who changed me so that I look like this now. He’s the one who did all of this.” She swept an arm around indicating that she was talking about the luxury suite.

“How did you change?” Cody was frowning.

Rachel’s shoulders slumped. “I guess you don’t have the sight after all. It was too much to hope for.”

Part 5

It was Lance's turn to break, which meant that she needed him to end his turn as quickly as possible. If he sank too many balls then it would make it way too easy for his partner to win the game. While Rachel was fairly confident that she could sink one or two balls, making all of them without missing was asking a lot. If Lance was able to sink even three balls that would leave five for Jackson. Even if he wasn’t able to win at that point, Cody would have to leave the eight on the table which would mean that Lance would get a second turn. That meant that she had to figure out a way to stop her opponents from sinking eight balls over three turns. That wasn’t going to be easy.

She had an ace up her sleeve when it came to Lance, but she was hoping to save it for an emergency. While she'd been able to distract him by smoking in the last game she wasn't entirely sure it would work again and it would be even less likely to work twice in the same game. She was hoping that all the skills she'd acquired thanks to Cody turning her into a professional smoker would be enough to make him miss one more time.

Lance didn't cooperate and she was about to pull out her only weapon when he finally missed when trying to bank the 14 ball into the side pocket. He'd done a lot of damage though. Only three striped balls remained on the table which meant that if her opponents both sank two balls on their following turns she’d lose the game, the match and any hope for her daughter.

Part 4

Rachel took that opportunity to excuse herself. She sent a text to Gabi as she walked toward the exit. Even though her sister probably had no memory of any of this she needed to talk to someone. She needed to sort all of this out in her mind. There were things that were not making sense. Like Cody complimenting her outfit, like he was seeing it for the first time. Did he have a form of the sight too?

Gabi wasn’t outside yet, but one of the Tavern’s employees was. The white apron was a give away. The young woman was quite busty and was wearing a pair of cutoffs so short that the half of the pockets dangled from beneath the faded blue denim. Her low-cut top showed off a lot of flesh. Rachel almost screamed when she realized that it was her daughter.

“Jeez, mom. You about gave me a heart attack.”

Now that she was closer she looked Paige up and down. In addition to larger breasts she also had small hoops in her nose and right eyebrow. There was also a tattoo of a feral looking mermaid holding a trident on her right shoulder.

Rachel was furious. Terrance had said that he wouldn’t change Paige. Why had he gone back on his promise? She suddenly remembered her conversation with the godlike being. It played before her eyes like a movie. She saw him saying that he wouldn’t change her daughter directly, but he also said that apples didn’t fall far from the tree.

Part 2

Rachel looked around, but didn’t see Terrance anywhere in the tavern. She grabbed her drink and took a long swallow. Once she finished it she would grab Gabi and leave as quickly as she could. As she began to repack her purse she once again noticed the red light on her phone. When she unlocked it, she saw that she had a message from Paige. It said “Gma says I can borrow car after lesson. Be there at 10?”. As she scrolled up, there was a whole conversation that hadn’t been there before she’d met Terrance. The conversation consisted of Rachel trying to convince Paige to drive out to the Tavern and give her a ride.

Rachel tried to make a call, but as soon as she hit the call button, her phone shut off. She powered it back on and the same thing happened. Any attempt to contact Paige resulted in her phone going dead. Luckily, Paige didn’t have ready access to a car and it sounded like Rita wasn’t going to let Paige borrow hers until later in the evening. That gave her over an hour to get to a working phone and let her daughter know to stay away from the tavern.

Before she could finish packing her purse, a young man approached the table. He was tall, perhaps six-one, in great physical shape and startlingly handsome. There was a calculating intelligence behind his mesmerizing blue eyes. He was also quite young. He couldn’t be more than three or four years older than her daughter. 

“Hi, I’m Cody and I’m hoping you can do me a huge favor. I got myself into a bit of a wager at that pool table over there.” Without looking away, he pointed toward the pool tables in the adjoining room. “I bet a couple guys that I could beat them in a game of doubles and they got to pick my partner. They decided upon you. Which, to be honest, made me quite happy.”

Author's note: The ending to this story eluded me for a long time, but I am happy with the what I eventually came up with. I'm not so happy with the title and reserve the right to change it at a later date. If you have an idea for a different one, feel free to post it in the comments or shoot me an email at varian.milagro@gmail.com. FYI, the story is completely written and as edited as it is ever going to get. I'll post the next parts (there's seven of them) in the coming days.

Part 1

"Here, these are for you." Gabi held out a pack of cigarettes. She wore a tight leather skirt and a silky black blouse that showed more than it hid. Her makeup was dark and heavy, giving her a rebellious appearance. Her blonde, shoulder length hair was streaked with temporary red highlights. Everything about tonight’s look was temporary. By day she sold tickets to various Vegas shows at the MGM casino and by night she was typically in bed by ten. Tonight, though, she wanted to party and maybe even get laid.

"I'm not holding those for you,” Rachel said. “I told you not to buy them in the first place.”

"I have my own.” Gabi held up a second pack. It was different from the one she was offering her sister. Those had Marlboro Lights written on the side, The pack she was opening were shorter and had a picture of a camel on them. 

Rachel snatched the pack of Marlboros out of her sister's hand. “You’re taking this bad girl thing way too far. Smoking kills, you know.” She was dressed much more conservatively than her sister. She’d refused a "bad girl" makeover and had opted for a pair of comfortable black jeans and a paisley blouse. She had spent a decent amount of time on her shoulder-length auburn hair, giving it some decent curls. Normally, she put it in a ponytail and forgot about it.

“Oh my god, for like the millionth time I am not going to start smoking.” She stuck a cigarette in her mouth.
