Stealing a thief's body (Patreon)

The pain was gone, and mental clarity flooded Clarice’s mind. It’d been years since she felt this young. Hours had passed since Clarice took over Zaya’s young body. She didn’t hesitate to pick out a new wardrobe and make any necessary adjustments. After the young caregiver stole the older woman’s jewelry box on the last day of her shift, Clarice didn’t hesitate to trigger the magical diamond necklace inside of it. 

Zaya was supposed to have a certain level of loyalty and trust, and she broke that when she decided to steal from another person. “She deserved everything that happened to her,” the old woman cooed in her new body.

Clarice was a mystical fanatic who loved the occult. She bought the magical necklace with the hope that her future vessel would wear it. The longer her future vessel wore the necklace, the greater the connection between the two would become. 

Once the connection strengthened, Clarice was able to astrally project herself into the young woman’s body through sheer mind power alone. Her old body remained lifeless in her retirement home while Zaya’s soul became one with her own.

And now, staring at the way her figure seamlessly melted into her new clothes, Clarice couldn’t wait to meet the girl’s boyfriend. As if on cue, while she pulled on her coat, she could hear her cell phone vibrating at the other end of the room. It was Sam, Zaya’s boyfriend. A naughty smile stretched across her face as she headed out the door to meet him outside.
