Two Hours Earlier

“Ok Kat, why’d you bring us in here? Honestly this room is kinda creepy. I’m getting serious horror movie vibes. Although... Something smells really good.”

Kathy giggled at her three friends as they stood in one of the bomb shelter storage rooms. The runes she had used Caleb's cum to trace into the door and walls would ensure they were not disturbed, among other things. Caleb's cum made an excellent catalyst for the spells she planned to cast on her friends, if she could convince them to allow it. Gemma was a member of the horticulture club. Misty was one of the nerdy girls in the AV club, and a newly created hubunny. And finally Michelle was on the debate team and member of the chess club. All three were Denizens due to the bullying they had experienced before Caleb cured them.

Gemma was once known as ‘Crater Face’ because of her **** acne. Misty had the nickname ‘Hunchback’ because of her scoliosis. And Michelle was called ‘Binocular Girl’ for having super thick glasses. All three of them had suffered bullying due to their illnesses. And all three had Caleb to thank for their cures. Gemma and Michelle had transformed into pretty women. Misty, already a pretty though chubby girl, had grown four inches taller once her back was fixed.

“I have something I want to show you. I haven’t shown any one else yet, not even the girls in the harem. So you have to keep it a secret for now.” She led them around a shelving unit in one of the bomb shelter's storage rooms.

What they saw on the other side made Michelle exclaim, “Oh, come on Kat. Are you still trying to do magic? Witches are extinct. No one can do magic anymore.”

Kathy strode into the center of the magic circle she had drawn on the floor, turned to face them, and proudly proclaimed, “I can.”

She held out her hands and spun the fingers of one hand through the air. Then she said a few odd sounding words while her other hand made a flicking gesture. Her hands began to glow blue, then a glass of water on the floor nearby toppled over, but the water didn’t spill. Instead it floated into the air and formed a ball shape. It wobbled through the air and flew over to Kathy, landing in her hand. As soon as it touched, Kathy’s other hand made a grasping motion and the water ball froze solid.

Kathy was panting from the effort, manipulating matter and casting multiple spells back to back was mentally draining, but the three girls didn’t notice. Their eyes were locked onto the ice ball. Gemma shouted, “Holy shit Kat! That was amazing! You really are a witch! A real live witch!”

Michelle was impressed but she hid it better. She asked, “Why show us and not the harem? I figure they would be the first ones you told.”

Kathy smiled and said, “Because I want something from you three. And I know you three each want something as well. Something that I might be able to give you. If you help me, once I get better at performing my magic, I will give you what you want. But to get better at it, I do need your help.”

“Gemma, you want bigger boobies, but don’t want Caleb to impregnate you to get them. At least not for a few more years. There’s a spell that can reshape your body, but it is very difficult to cast. I’ll need lots more experience and some ingredients before I can do it. Your mom and aunt have a garden supply store. There are some seeds and herbs I want that are hard to come by. I need them to perform certain spells. Those spells will put me one step closer to casting the one you want.”

“Michelle, your dad’s antique store should be able to get me the tools I need to inscribe permanent runes for enchanting things. I need those to give Misty what she wants. If you can help me get my hands on the ones I want, in exchange, I’ll try to get you a date with Eric, the debate team Captain. After that, making him your boyfriend is up to you.”

“Misty, you want your mom to stop cheating on your dad. There is a charm I can make if I get the proper tools that will prevent her from being attracted to any man except your dad. If I make you the charm, I want you to become one of my coven's familiars. That means you’d have to move in with us and give Caleb your virginity. You should know, a familiar is able to cast very basic spells depending on the skill of their master. I think that is a better life than simply becoming a pet.”

Misty was flabbergasted by Kathy’s offer. Gemma and Michelle were both instantly jealous. Michelle complained, “Why does Misty get to become a witch and not us?”

Kathy shrugged, “I’m not offering to make her a witch. A familiar's abilities are dependent on their master’s. I’m not going to recruit anyone for my coven unless they prove their loyalty to Caleb and the harem. Caleb hasn’t claimed any of you, and since all three of you are virgins, he is not likely to do so. Caleb blessed me with the ability to claim the three of you, but you would have to accept the conditions I place upon my claim.”

Misty stepped forward and excitedly said, "I'm in. Even if you can't make the charm, I'm in."

Michelle grabbed her arm and said, "Whoa! Hold on Misty. A familiar sounds like a glorified pet. You can't seriously want that."

Misty yanked her arm out of Michelle's grasp and said, "Yes, I do. All my life, all I have ever wanted to be, was someone's beloved pet. When Caleb told me they couldn't take me as their pet right now, my heart nearly broke. It wouldn't matter which of his harem women was my owner. I would be living with them as part of a Stretcher King's family. Kathy's family. You've seen how much they all love each other, and how they treat shifters. That all by itself is worth it. I would beg Caleb to breed me if I could get that. But magic, even if it's just a few basic spells, is still magic."

She turned back to Kathy and said, "What do I have to do?"

Kathy smiled as Gemma stepped up next to Misty and said, "I'm in too."
