Things spiral out of control

It was Maggie who broke the sudden silence by, of all things, pulling her top off. Mel and Macy both did a double take, Mel almost forgetting her own nudity.

“Uh, Maggie?” Macy said. She shot a look over to Mel.

“Not me this time!” Mel said.

“It’s her,” Maggie said, gesturing to Niko. “You didn’t feel it. I can’t just leave her like that.”

“So you’re…” Mel said.

Her voice trailed off as Maggie managed to pull her head out from her top and pulled it down over the frozen, nude Niko, leaving her bottomless for the moment.

And leaving Maggie topless, and Mel with a couple of thoroughly inappropriate thoughts. She swallowed, and coughed, and squirmed on the spot all the more, making sure her arms were crossed and legs pressed together.

And then Maggie was pushing her pants down her legs, giving even more of an eyeful; even when she was biting her lip, she kept going.

“No underwear?” Mel said, raising an eyebrow.

“Yeah, seriously regretting it,” Maggie muttered, finally kicking off the garment. “And you do not get to judge me!”

She crouched, struggling to pull them up the frozen Niko’s legs. She tried not to focus too much on the eye-level ass, focusing only on carefully lifting up Niko’s legs, and trying to get Niko vaguely dressed.

At least then she wasn’t dwelling on the fact she’d just gotten naked.

“Uh, t-tiny problem,” Macy stammered. “You realise you’re still…”

“Don’t remind me,” Maggie squeaked. “But she’s stuck frozen. We can at least orb home. No one else sees, and we never talk about this again, ok?”

“I… sure,” Macy said.

“Can I-” Mel began.

“Oh no, you’re going home the long way for what you did,” Macy said.

Mel nervously glanced around the bar. At least she was in charge of things staying frozen. She adjusted her arms, suddenly more self-conscious about being seen by her sisters.

Frozen eyes stared at her, though most were focused on the now-haphazardly dressed Niko.

Maggie got back to her feet, one arm over her tits, her other hand clutching her cunt, turning to keep her back to Niko. Her cheeks burned.

“H-Harry!” Maggie called.

There was a sudden whoosh as their whitelighter materialised, Harry appearing a step from her. The moment he saw Maggie, her turned around awkwardly, and was greeted by the sight of Mel instead.

“Oh my word,” he said, at the same time both Maggie and Mel squeaked.

“Close your eyes!” Maggie yelped. “I just need a quick orb home. No questions. Ok?”

“I… uh, I suppose I...” Harry said.

Tentatively he reached a hand behind him. Maggie took it gratefully, darting close to avoid flashing her cunt for any longer than strictly necessary.

“And Mel-” Harry began.

“Just her,” Macy said.

“What? Why-”

“Quickly!” Maggie yelped.

Bewildered, Harry focused and the two of them vanished. That just left Macy and Mel behind in the Haunt.

Mel adjusted her arms, glowering a little at Macy. She didn’t have the full story, and that was no excuse to make her…

“So, you staying here, or are we going home?” Macy said.

Mel fidgeted. She glanced around the bar again; ok, maybe she was starting to understand why Niko had reacted that much to her unexpected nudity. Though at least no one would remember seeing her.

She started moving, keeping her arms crossed. The longer she spent like this with Macy, the more embarrassed she felt.

Nude dates with Jada were so much more fun.

“Ok, let’s go-” Maggie began. She seemed to falter; Macy frowned. Then Mel continued as if nothing had happened. “Quickly!”

Macy started walking towards the door of the Haunt; Mel stumbled after her, awkwardly holding her arms in front of herself.

Then she realised how close she was to Macy.

It was a fit of spite that made her act more than anything. She reached out, so very glad time was frozen so she didn’t need to worry about reaching out with her hands.

If she focused, she couldn’t just make things stop; she could make things age faster, time go past. And if she focused on what was under her hands, and pressed her hands to Macy’s back…

Macy’s top decayed, fabric turning brittle and colourless and falling apart in front of her. The dark skin of Macy’s back came into view.

Her outfit fell in shreds to the floor. Macy took a step forwards, and left every stray, decaying thread behind.

Macy yelped, feeling it give way. She looked down at herself, tits now entirely bare, and whirled back around, crossing her arms.

“Mel!”

“What? You did it to me!” Mel half-shouted.

The two nude Charmed Ones glowered at each other, arms held over their fronts, mirrored shaking hands over their cunts, mirrored arms holding their boobs.

Macy stared back, panting slightly, breathless, chest heaving. Mel met her eyes, cheeks burning.

“Run home?” Mel squeaked.

“Definitely,” Macy said.

Together, the nude sisters ran out of the Haunt.

Maggie materialised, hand-in-hand with Harry.

And a second later, realised she very much wasn’t in her home. She felt stone against her bare feet, felt a cool breeze rush past her exposed skin. She shivered; it was colder, damper…

She was outside, and looking up, the Sun was in a different place, the clouds greyer, she-

“Harry, what the hell?!” Maggie shrieked.

She hastily snatched her hand back, covering herself and looking around in a panic. There was a grassy park to her side, a stony path under her, a railed fence, and-

People! Maggie squealed, and darted over to a bin; she crouched, almost low enough for her ass to touch the ground, cheeks burning. She looked up pleadingly.

“Ah,” Harry said.

“Ah?!” Maggie yelped. “That’s all you have to say?!”

“I, uh, seem to be… having trouble,” Harry said.

“Did it need to be when I was naked?!” Maggie yelped. She dropped her voice to a whisper for the last word, nervously looking back over her shoulder.

“Do you remember when I had my memories back?” Harry said slowly. “It’s been… troublesome, after everything that happened.”

“You mean that time you and Mel…” Maggie began. She cut herself off with a yelp, then slapped her hands to her mouth in an effort to stay quiet.

That time he and Mel had been stuck in England until Harry had some sense of closure, and had been able to orb them back. Except this time it was her, not Mel, and…

“You really can’t get us back?” Maggie pleaded, lowering her hands from her mouth to cover up her body.

Naked. In another country. With no way home.

Maggie whimpered.

Running down the street naked was more embarrassing than Macy had imagined. Even if no one could technically see her, there was air rushing past parts of her wind should not go.

Mel was close behind her. Shoes were the only thing they had on, and they somehow made them feel all the more naked.

“Can we have a moment?” Mel gasped suddenly.

“What?” Macy said.

She slowed, looking back. Mel was staring at her, halfway through a step. Wait, literally, halfway through a step. She wasn’t moving.

And then she was. She didn’t seem to have noticed her momentary stillness; she certainly didn’t react.

“Don’t you want to get home?” Macy said breathlessly.

“I do, just…” Mel said. She inhaled. “I feel weird. Can we have a second?”

Macy hesitated. She hunched over a little more, conscious of everyone around her.

For a second she heard voices. Both sisters yelped, spinning; people were moving, turning-

And then stopping.

“What- you can’t keep things frozen?” Macy said.

“I’m not sure,” Mel said. She inhaled, stumbling. “Not felt like this before. I don’t know.”

“Bad time for it!” Macy yelped.

There was a second of movement again, just as Mel… flickered, freezing herself for a moment. Macy yelped, glancing around again, instinctively moving her hands back to cover her ass instead.

“Oh no,” Macy said.

“Oh no?” Mel said.

“Do you remember what happened with Maggie?” Macy said. “Back at the start. She used magic more for personal gain, and…”

“It had a backlash, and…” Mel’s eyes widened. “Oh no.”

Witches were meant to serve the greater good. If they used their powers for selfish means, there could be consequences. It could be more of a struggle to maintain, and there might be side effects, and-

Maggie’s eyes widened a second before she froze in place again.

Macy stared, and fidgeted. The world only started moving again for a split second, enough to make her yelp, but Mel didn’t start moving again.

Right. That… kind of made sense. She abused her powers by freezing things, it figured she’d be frozen in turn.

Oh god, why did Mel have to have stripped her too?! Why had she decided to punish Mel like this?

Macy waved her hand in front of Mel’s eyes. No reaction. She swallowed.

“Good luck!” Macy said, as people started to move for a second.

Hopefully Mel would be ok, but even if it was her sister, she wasn’t going to hang around on unpaused streets stark naked! Hopefully she could get home before people started moving properly again.

And hopefully Mel would unfreeze by then too.

Back in the Haunt, Jada wandered out from the side. She glanced around as people began moving again, looking around bewildered.

Niko was halfway through a shriek, before she slapped her hands to her chest and felt fabric. She glanced down, confused, but sighed in relief. Her cheeks warmed at just how many people were staring.

Oh god, they’d all seen-

“Hey!”

Niko jumped, seeing Jada come closer.

“Uh…” Niko said. “What- how-”

“Kinda turned into a whole mess,” Jada said. “If it helps, I was meant to wipe everyone’s memories.”

“Wha- huh?” Niko managed.

“Like they never saw you,” Jada said. “Niko could freeze things, I could go around… That was the plan. Can’t really do it now they’re not frozen. Sorry.”

“You were- what?!”

“Does this count as an apology?” Jada said.

She lifted her phone and started scrolling through a few photos. The confused Niko opened her mouth to retort, then closed it again, stammering.

That was… That was Mel. Naked. And Maggie, and Macy. Not all together but… Huh. That was… a sight.

Niko swallowed. She looked up at Jada, cheeks still warm from the fact that the other woman must’ve seen her own humiliation.

“What happened?” Niko said. She faltered. “And could you send me those pictures?”
