I felt my skin begin to crack as my hearing slowly came back to me. My hear was beating every minute or so, The more I cracked the more air filled my lungs causing my diaphragm to expand, which in turn spend up the rate my skin cracked. It wasn't a painful process, nor was it uncomfortable. It was extremely slow though. I was able to slightly move my fingers and my eyes were slowly opening. I wasn't sure where Sarina was and I wasn't sure if I even wanted to be around her. I wasn't sure how long it took but I was finally free to move again as my stone exterior reverted to flesh. I took in a deep breath and actually felt rather refreshed. I patted myself down, to ensure everything was alright and it was better than alright. It's as if my joints were old metal hinges that had just been oiled. Though my erection from last night was still up and it was slowly settling down.

I looked around the room and saw that Sarina's laptop was gone and she had some loose clothes sitting the bed. She hadn't bothered cleaning up the mattress and the sheets were a mess. My suitcase wasn't how I left it though, some of the items I had managed to buy before the lock down were resting next to the case and my clothes were in a little bit of a mess. Though my backpack remained untouched. I got dressed and went out into the hall way. The bench had a few groceries sitting on it and I saw a copy of me using Sarina's laptop.

"Oh good you're up," the duplicate said in Sarina's voice he sounded extremely relieved. I also noticed his hair was slightly longer and had sandy brown highlights. He noticed my confused look. "Oh, yeah it's me Sarina. I had to turn myself into you as we had someone check in on us," she explained. "I'm still new at this so it takes a while for things to revert to normal. I've been like this for about an hour now. Don't worry, I didn't copy all of you though," she patted her crotch, to show that it was flat. "Anyway you had me worried for a while, I didn't mean for you to be stone for that long. How are you feeling?"

I stared blankly at Sarina, not knowing what to say or how to feel. She had turned me into a statue and was now wearing my face, though it was slowly shifting back to hers. This should not have been possible but it turns out that magic is apparently real or I'm more sick than I realized. Sarina didn't seem like a bad person though. Turning me to stone did solve the single bed issue and turning into me stopped me from getting into trouble. I also saw the point she had about needing to show me rather than tell me. Though I wished she started with something a little smaller.

"Fine, I guess," I replied, knowing I had to say something. I then realized she meant that question in two ways, how I was physically feeling and also mentally feeling about this new found knowledge of her. "Wait... how long was I 'out'?" I slowly backtracked through what she had told me. The fact she was worried about how long I had been stone for was a cause for concern.

"Well it's 3pm now... so about eighteen or so hours," I could see her biting her lip, which had reverted to hers, worried about how I'd react.

I gave Sarina another blank stare. "Eighteen hours?" I clarified trying to remain calm. "How long was I suppose to be out for and how long have you been 'me'?"

"I was aiming for six, so nine hours more than what I was hoping. As for how long I've been like this, that's been about three hours. Like I said I'm not good at reversions but the more I practice, the better I'll get." Tears started to roll down her eyes. "I'm sorry, turning you to stone was a stupid thing to do, you could've been stuck like that. Though I was tired and it was the best thing I could think of, you kept your form so it was a lot less dangerous than trying something else."

Seeing Sarina cry changed my mood a little and while I didn't hug her I did my best to console her. "Well, I'm me again now..." I started with as I put my hand on her shoulder. "And as for the time, it's not like I've got anywhere to be. Just... don't do it again." That seemed to calm her down. I couldn't help but wonder if she was perhaps emotionally manipulating me so I wouldn't be as angry or upset. I sat down at the stall next to her and we were both went silent for a while. I wasn't feeling hungry and wasn't sure what else to do, so I sat their thinking. I occasionally looked over at Sarina as she slowly changed back. "So... magic?" I finally said what was on my mind this whole time.

"I'm not going to explain it," Sarina said half defensively. "Sorry, it's actually a little sensitive and it's not something I can really explain. Just know that I can change people into whatever I want," she explained more relaxed. She looked down at her chest and saw her returning breasts pushing against my shirt. "I'm going to go change out of your clothes. Not sure how long it'll take for me to fully revert so you can use my laptop in the mean time." Sarina rushed back to her bedroom.

I was on the laptop for an hour or so, limiting what I did on the internet as I didn't know what Sarina's limit was, when she finally came out. She was fully a woman again now, though her hair hadn't gone past her neckline yet and she still had my eyes. I also noticed how loose her bra was as her breasts hadn't yet grown to their original size.

"I should've probably tried copying someone else sooner," Sarina complained as she adjusted her clothes. "I find reverting changes takes a lot less longer if I've done it before."

I finished what I was doing and gave her back her laptop. "So what have you done before?" I asked genuinely curious.

"Mostly minor changes, on myself and my best friend, nothing too drastic or things we wanted to reverse. So altering out weight a little, fixing a few blemishes and scars no one else knew about. Changing hair colour. My friend wanted a few more changes but I thought it best to keep things relatively the same. Don't want people asking why your eyes were suddenly a different colour or having a face that's unrecognizable. So again, not something I've had a whole lot of practice with."

"I see... so these two changes are the most drastic things you've ever done then?" I asked as I looked through the groceries for the food I had asked for. It was too late for breakfast or lunch but I could at least snack.

"Pretty much, yeah," she confirmed as she returned to her laptop. "There's a few things I would've liked to have tried with her before..." Sarina's tone changed as she held her tongue, though I could see the sorrow in her eyes. "Anyway, once again, I'm sorry and won't change you again."

I grabbed a packet of chips and opened them, offering Sarina a handful. She politely declined as she closed her laptop. "I mean, you could change me..." I said without filtering my thoughts. Sarina looked at me and tilted her head in curiosity. "We're stuck in an empty house, we're going to run out of things to do. I've already completed half the puzzles in my magazine and I've almost finished the books I've brought with me," I continued to ramble. "You said you need practice, so why not try while we're isolated from the rest of the world?"

"Mhmm, interesting," Sarina rested her chin on her hand, she was already going through some of the possibilities. "You'd willingly become my guinea pig? Or would you prefer a lab rat? I could turn you into either one you know." Sarina's personality changed to one a bit more playful. "Turning you into a rodent would save on food..." she was teasing me now.

"Um... maybe let's not go that far..." I dismissed with a half fearful gulp. I wondered what I had gotten myself into here. I was playing with fire, Sarina could literally do anything she wanted to me and I had stirred the hornet's nest by giving her permission to do so. It was also an invigorating feeling too, a twisted part of me liked the idea she could have complete domination over me. I felt my groin stir with excitement and I blushed, trying to avoid eye contact.

"Oh wow," Sarina dropped the act. "I wasn't expecting that reaction..." she seemed amused by it.

"Neither was I..." I said embarrassed as I moved closer to the island so Sarina couldn't see my bulging crotch.

"Hmm, what if I take it from you?" She suggested. My penis stirred at the mention of getting rid of it. I just grew even more embarrassed. "I mean, it's one of the reasons you didn't want to share the bed, and it's clearing making you feel embarrassed." I looked at Sarina not knowing what to say. She was talking about taking my manhood and I found the idea both frightening and also oddly stimulating. "I won't make it disappear, that's probably not the safest thing to try. I'll just detach it," she assured me. "I'll even take off my boobs, ass and privates if it makes you more comfortable with the idea. That way you don't need to worry about touching those areas while you're in bed with me and I'll be in the same position as you."

I didn't know how she could make that suggestion so lightly. I had already seen Sarina without breasts, though she was mostly me at that stage. I also couldn't help but imagining a pair of detached breasts as well as her other parts and I wondered what that would look like. The mental image just continued to make my penis stir and because I had it pressed up against the island, it just agitated things further. "Go ahead..." I just wanted this to be over.

Once again, the room filled with energy and Sarina looked weightless as she looked at me with a blank face. She aimed her hand at my crotch, even though there was an island between it and my groin and I felt the energy hit it. For a second there I felt like it was going to explode but then I couldn't feel anything there. Now it felt like I had placed something in my underwear causing it to pull downwards.

"Ah excuse me," I blushed as I waddled uncomfortably up to the bedroom. I had to hold my crotch just so my genitals wouldn't full out of my underwear and onto the floor. When I got up to the bedroom I pulled the boxers forward and saw my penis and testicles laying loose in my underwear, while, besides from my public hair, my groin was completely smooth skin. I touched the skin out of curiosity and it felt rather soft like brand new skin and it tickled a little. I then grabbed my genitals by the balls and held them gently. My penis was flaccid and my balls were loose. It felt weird grabbing them as I could only feel my hand touching them, I could not feel them being touched. It was like I was holding another man's genitals and that thought made me shudder for a second. I looked where my souvenirs were and took one of the smaller ones out of the bag. I gently placed my genitals into the bag and secured them in the suitcase, hiding them under some clothes like they were a hidden treasure. I stared at my case for a while, while I couldn't help but touch my empty crotch when I heard Sarina knock on the door.

"Are you alright? It's not too freaky for you?" Sarina asked once again concerned for my well being. "I could reattach them for you but given how my reversal spells work, you might need to hold them in place for an hour or so."

She didn't explain that part to me earlier but I should've known what I was getting into. "I'm fine," I answered. "Also it's okay for now..." I wasn't quite sure I believed my own words. I opened the door so she could enter.

"That's good," Sarina gave me a smile as she stepped through the door. "Though not the reaction I would expect from a man..." she said suspiciously.

"Admittedly I don't get it either," I confessed. "I think it's the advanced warning, I mean if you suddenly did it to me, like the statue thing, maybe I'd be freaking out a bit more." I tried to justify it to Sarina while also trying to convince myself. Though the truth was I actually didn't mind it and since they could be reattached no harm was actually done.

"Oh, okay." Sarina looked at me with doubt before walking over to her en-suite. "I'd prefer if you waited up at the other end of the house while I do this," she said as she closed the door.

I nodded even though the door was already shut and went into the kitchen to wait. About ten minutes later Sarina came up the hallway, completely naked. Her chest was flat and her crotch was empty besides a tuft of hair. I tried to look away but the hair and the lack of anything in her groin made that hard. "Yeah sorry about that, my underwear didn't fit comfortably anymore." The mention of that, made me realise how loose mine felt as well. "I also figured since there was nothing to see, I could get naked." Sarina explained as she tried to sit down on the stool but got up again a second later. "Okay removing my ass was probably a bad idea." She stood up again and I couldn't help but gasp as I saw where her butt should've been.

Without the two large system of muscles, I could see the shape of the rear end of her pelvis. It was like looking at someone who was dying of starvation, where you could see their entire rib cage or the front of their pelvis. Only it was extremely weird seeing the skin cling to the rear shape of it. It was unnatural and I couldn't stop staring. Though it gave me somewhere else to look.

"I know, it's weird isn't it," Sarina acknowledged as she touched the area. "Feels as weird as it looks. Maybe I should've waited until it was closer to bed time before removing it." She walked around to the pantry and pulled out some noodle cups. "How about noodles for dinner then we can go to sleep early, get this whole ordeal out of the way," She suggested.

"But it's not even five yet..." I kept trying to look away but couldn't. No matter which way Sarina was facing I couldn't help but look at her lower half.

"Yeah I know," Sarina continued with the food. "But I'm magic remember, I can make us tired and while we'll wake up early tomorrow we can still have a full day ahead of us," she offered as she placed one of the noodle cups. "Unless of course you want to stare at my lack of an ass for the next five to six hours," she teased. I usually went to sleep closer to midnight but she had a point. "Also I'm not doing this again, so after tonight you better be comfortable with the idea of sleeping besides me, or I'm going to change you into something else tomorrow night." I didn't say anything and just politely nodded, though I couldn't say how I'd feel tomorrow. "Good."

So my second day in Isolation only lasted two or so hours by the time I unfroze. Yet it felt like so much more had happened. I discovered a few things about Sarina and somethings about myself I wasn't sure I wish I knew. Now it was time for bed, even though the sun had yet to fully set.

For the first ten or so minutes of going to bed I laid on my back looking at the ceiling. Sarina laid on her side next me. At first I wasn't tired but then I felt a different kind of force coming from Sarina. Before when she used her magic it was like electricity and I felt a tingly sensation. This one was more unpleasant as it seemed like a vacuum, only it was sucking up my energy. I was now ready to sleep.

Even though my energy had been drained I hadn't fully shut off yet and I shifted under the covers, trying to get comfortable. I could hear Sarina sigh next to me as she remained still. As I began to drift off, I rolled in her direction, my eyes looking at the back of her head, while my cheek rested on some of her hair. Without thinking I wrapped my arm over her belly and touched her flat chest. I opened my eyes worried for a  moment, wondering how Sarina would react. She grabbed my arm and held it tight, like a child grabbing onto a teddy. I smiled softly and drifted off to sleep.
