Susannah, Helen's mum

"What is taking them so long," Susannah muttered under her breath as she rung the doorbell for the third time. She was outside Helen and Adam's house and frustrated that they hadn't answered the door after several minutes of waiting. Susannah began to question whether she had imagined Helen, her daughter, messaging her about lunch today. She had even gone to the effort to dress up to tease Adam.

Susannah was a woman in her late forties who didn't let her age curb her style. Today she was wearing a black denim skirt, fishnet tights, a red tank top and a pair of Dr Martens boots. She knew that this outfit showed off a lot of skin and displayed her tattoos to the world. Susannah enjoyed the looks she would get whether they were from people that appreciated how she looked or not. She kept her body in good shape, cycling and doing fitness classes whenever she had the time.

Losing her patience, Susannah opened her handbag and retrieved the door key to her daughter's house. She was really only meant to use this in emergencies, but was past caring now. Upon opening the front door, Sussanah found the house totally quiet.

'Looks like Helen forgot about me and is out with Adam,' Susannah thought as she examined the hallway. This was only the second time she had been round her daughter's new home after helping her move in a few weeks ago. Each room was already starting to fill up with Helen's knick-knacks. Susannah smiled to herself, seeing that her daughter definitely took after her.

After checking out the ground floor, Susannah moved upstairs and onto the landing. She went to check the bedroom, but stopped by the doorway to the study. Susannah's heart began to quicken as she saw her daughter apparently passed out in the office chair.

"Helen, are you alright," Susannah called out, beginning to panic. She dashed over to check on her **** daughter and was relieved to find she was breathing deeply and still had a clear pulse. Helen had seemingly fallen asleep at the desk. "Come on Helen, wake up," Susannah laughed as she gently shook her daughter by the shoulders. But Helen didn't respond and simply slumped deeper into the chair.

"Hang on, what's this." Susannah's attention was drawn away from her sleeping daughter to the book that lay open on the desk in front of her. It was large and ornately decorated, with strange cursive script all over the open pages. Susannah quickly realised it must be something that Helen had purchased from Jinn's Emporium, a shop that the two of them frequented. They both had an obsession with anything to do with the occult, and Susannah felt a little annoyed Helen had purchased the book without telling her.

Gently rolling Helen out of the way of the book in the desk chair, Susannah gazed over the tome and attempted to read its unusual text. 'It's a spellbook!' Susannah thought, excitedly. She began to feverishly scan the text and determined that the page described an Astral Projection spell. 'That must be why Helen was apparently ****!'

Without thinking further, Susannah began to read the spell. Each word rolled off her tongue easily. With the last word spoken, Susannah saw a flash and felt a cold sensation flood her body. Suddenly she felt weightless. Susannah floated away from the book, amazed that the spell had actually worked. As she zipped around the room, Susannah noticed her body had fallen to the ground in a heap.

'I can't leave my body like that! I'd better pick myself up,' Susannah thought as she drifted back towards her body. 'Wait a minute. Why go back to my body when Helen's is there!' Susannah dove into her daughter's chest in the blink of an eye. Within seconds she began to feel that she was sitting in the chair. Susannah opened her eyes and unsteadily came to a standing position, getting used to her new body.

"I feel so small and light. Oh my god, my voice is so tiny!" Susannah giggled. Helen was a good few inches shorter than her at 5'3 and had a very petite figure. Susannah explored her new body with her hands, marveling at how soft her daughter's skin felt.

After she checked out her body a little more, Susannah noticed Helen's phone laying there next to the spellbook. Seeing the phone gave Susannah an idea. She was going to mess with Helen and Adam just as they had messed her about by forgetting their lunch appointment.
