Saving Selina - Part 1 (Patreon)

Joshua held the photocopy of Victoria's will in his hand, his heart racing. He had always suspected that something was off about his girlfriend Selina, and now he had the proof. Victoria, an old 79-year-old woman, had become young thanks to a magical spell that had placed her mind inside Selina's body. The old witch had been teaching her magic, but it was all a ploy to steal her body. “I give all my earthly possessions to Selina Elizabeth Taggart,” one of the will’s lines had said.

Victoria stroked Joshua's hair and laughed now that he knew. “What do you say?” she asked with a sultry voice. She offered him endless wealth if he let her stay as Selina forever. Joshua's mind raced as he considered the offer. Money had always been tight for him, and the idea of endless wealth was tempting. But he couldn't bear the thought of Selina being trapped inside her own body while someone else took over her life.

Joshua tentatively agreed to Victoria's offer, his heart heavy. Victoria smiled and kissed him on the cheek, promising to make him a wealthy man. But as he left the room, Joshua knew what he had to do. He couldn't let Selina's life be taken over by someone else, no matter how much money was on the line.

He spent the next few days researching magic and the spell that Victoria had used to transfer her mind into Selina's body. He learned everything he could about reversing the spell and freeing Selina from Victoria's grasp.

Finally, he found the answer he was looking for. He knew what he had to do. He went to Victoria's home and found the spell book that she had used to cast the spell. He took a deep breath and lit a match, burning the book until it was nothing but ashes while the body thief screamed in horror. “Are you fucking stupid? Put it out! Put it out!”

Joshua waited anxiously for the spell to reverse while she held Selina’s body back. As he waited, he thought about what Selina must be feeling. She had been trapped inside her own body, unable to control it while Victoria lived her life. Joshua couldn't imagine how terrifying that must have been for her.

Finally, the spell began to reverse. Victoria's mind seemingly fading away, and Selina's consciousness returned to her body. Joshua watched in amazement as Selina slowly opened her eyes and looked around, confused.

"Joshua?" she whispered weakly.

"It's me," he said, relief flooding through him. "It's over. You're back."

Selina looked at him in confusion, trying to piece together what had happened. Joshua told her everything, and as she listened, tears streamed down her face. She told him that she couldn't believe that she had been trapped inside her own body for so long, unable to control her movements or thoughts. 

But she was back now, and that was all that mattered. Joshua held her close, grateful to have her back in his arms. They knew that they would have to face the consequences of what had happened, but for now, they were just happy to be together again.

He knew that he had done the right thing, no matter what the consequences might be. Selina was back, and that was all that mattered. They had each other, and that was more valuable than any amount of wealth or power.
