College Mannequin Epilogue: Botched Spell 2
A month came and went and when no one in the Department of Admissions had been able to reach Amber's family all of her belongings wound up in the dumpster, including the two mannequins found in the dorm room.
The pearlescent pink mannequin that Amber had become did not stay in the trash for long though. It was placed in the dumpster head down so only it's lower legs and feet stuck out from the top. It stayed there for a couple of days until a student cut through the alley, she was using it as a shortcut to get back to her sorority house after class when she saw the mannequin in the trash. The student took a closer look and saw the mannequin was in great condition and fished in out of the dumpster.
“What a stroke of luck!”, she thought, “I overheard my boss at the store say she wished she had more mannequins. I wonder if she can use this?” She tucked the mannequin under an arm and continued on her way.
Ashley Boutique was a new locally owned store that had opened for business a few weeks ago. They already had a reputation for High end clothes at near bargain prices. The students boss jumped at the at the opportunity to add the mannequin her employee found to the sales floor. She even gave the employee a $50 bonus on her next paycheck. That next weekend the store owner sanded the new mannequin in preparation of repainting it. When she was done the mannequin was the same pearlescent white as the rest of her display fixtures. First thing on Monday morning the mannequin was mounted on a stand in the front window wearing a sexy blue and silver dress.
Now Amber was not experimenting on herself when she became an inanimate object. She had spent the last couple of weeks after the summer break had started and scoured the school library until she found the rest of the spell so she could finally restore Judy to her rightful form.
Amber called her mom for advice but after not hear back from her Amber got impatient and cast the spell on her own.
With disastrous results it turned out. Amber had mispronounced one too many words in the counter spell and it created a back lash. Once the magical energy dissipated there was then two mannequins occupying the dorm room.
Amber was stuck in the middle progression of the spell and was too busy fighting a war of dominance with the mannequin state of mind that was threatening to overwhelm her thoughts to try to reverse the transformation.
A war that Amber looses ground on more and more each day.
