Megan's

"Freeze!" said Lilith.

Phoebe pretended to be nonchalant and resisted the urge to flinch as Lilith gesticulated the 'freeze' right in her face, despite how irritating it was. She did her best to look bored and unstirred by her deluded friend. She didn't want to reward the melodrama; ideally they'd drop this whole magic nonsense.

The three of them surrounded her. Megan sat on the bench next to her, casually while the other two stood over her.

She tried to turn her head to address them as they approached, but nothing happened. She couldn't even manage to change the bored expression on her face. She really was frozen.

Phoebe's heart pounded in her chest as she heard her 'friends' moving around her, laughing at her. She tried to move with all her might but she couldn't even turn her eyes to watch her friends. She was scared, trapped in her own body and entirely at her former friends' whim. Her disbelief and shock that they had actually managed to perform magic was subsiding to make room for her panic. She couldn't speak to reason with them or move to defend herself. She remained completely immobile, like an object.

Megan tugged at her dress and fluffed her hair while the other two laughed.

She thought about how she'd apologise to them if she could. And maybe persuade them to be more careful playing with forces they didn't understand. Even if she wasn't the victim, she'd be hesitant about whatever magic this was.

"Let's remove her clothes and put her out the front on the street." There was a flicker of evil in the normally innocent Etta's eye.

Phoebe's breathing intensified. 'Surely they wouldn't?' She thought to herself.

"Let's make her ugly so nobody else wants her." Phoebe heard Megan say in her periphery, sitting next to her on the bench, stroking Phoebe's hair like a doll. "We could mess with her stupid perfect hair."

"Let's turn her into a sex **** for all the boys in her class she's complained about..." Another evil glint flashed, this time in Lilith's eyes.

"Or girls..." Megan added.

Phoebe started to worry about her friends, and what they might be under the influence of. They may not be on the best of terms but these weren't the kinds of things her long time friends would have said before today.

"We could have her crawl behind us like a pet..." Megan said, her evil grin audible in her voice. She leant into Phoebe's ear to whisper menacingly, "Either way, you're going to learn not to date your friend's crush ever again."

Etta and Lilith laughed as Megan put her thumb on Phoebe's chin and pushed down.

Phoebe could do nothing as Megan pushed her chin, opening her mouth. Her reflex to cover or close her mouth did nothing.

She didn't have much time to think about that as they gathered to prepare another spell.
