Yeva listened to everything Christian and Rose had to say. Christian even admitted that he was beginning to forget who he was. He admitted that the female brain was growing dominant.
Lissa frowned, worried that she'd never have her boyfriend back. Dimitri didn't really mind, but he knew guarding female Christian was going to be quite the trial. Rose was worried about how this would affect Lissa and what they would say happened to Sparky.
"Come," Yeva said rising from her chair and ushering Christian into a room.
Rose didn't even know the little room existed, but she could see vials of different things all around the room. The room was dimly lit and only a little table with some weird stuff sat in the middle of the room.
Yeva told Dimitri to move the table to the other side of the room which he readily did. She sent Dimitri and Rose out of the room leaving only Lissa there with Christian. Christian stripped down on command and Yeva walked over looking her over. She was muttering something under her breath and finally stopped in front of Christian. She frowned.
"DIMKA!" she yelled handing Christian a towel.
Christian wrapped the towel around himself and Dimitri entered. Christian listened to the hurried conversation in Russian barely keeping up, but finally Dimitri left the room and came back with a flashlight and a lamp.
The room was brighter now and Yeva started inspecting Christian's body. Nothing seemed unusual. Then she checked his eyes.
"Have you always had your ears pierced? And have you always had this earring?" she said touching the earring.
Christian frowned. He'd pierced his ears when he was sixteen, but he hadn't put an earring in since. He hurried to a mirror and looked. He didn't recognize the stud at the tip of his ear. He took it off and gasped as he felt the change. When he looked down he saw his chest and manhood.
"I'M BACK!" he yelled happily.
Lissa ran over to him and squealed hugging him tightly.
"It's you!" she said, kissing him all over.
Christian held her tightly and Yeva exited the room, coming back with some of Dimitri's old clothes. Christian put them on and came out to sit around the table waiting for Yeva to speak.
"This…" she said putting the earring down in the middle of the table, "is a magically charmed earring. It's job is to change a being. It's a charm that's infused…"
"With Spirit, but there's something else there too." Lissa said chiming in.
"Do we know any Spirit users who would want to screw with Christian?" Rose asked , confused.
Dimitri gave Christian a look. And Christian responded with one of confusion.
"You think it was her?" he asked seriously.
"That's the only person I think you've truly offended in the last few weeks."
"Who?" Lissa asked.
"There was this girl in my self-defense class. She sucked. And she hit on me. So, I sort of insulted her. I didn't think she was a Spirit user though. But, like Dimitri said she was the only person I was rude to in the last few weeks."
"Then we better go find her." Dimitri said, tugging Rose along with him.
Page Break
Two weeks later Dimitri lugged a blonde girl into the council room. Christian and Lissa were alone discussing logistics for the next meeting. They both looked up just as Dimitri placed the girl in a chair right in from of Lissa.
The girl glared at Lissa before giving Christian a malicious grin.
"I see you aren't a woman anymore."
Christian glared, "No thanks to you."
She shrugged, "I told you, you'd regret fucking me over."
"How'd you get the damn thing into my ear?" he growled.
"Don't nap in public places, Lord Ozera, you never know who's out there."
Christian growled. Lissa put a restraining hand on his arm.
"You are under arrest." Lissa said waving guardians forward.
"For what? Teaching that asshole a lesson?" she said angrily.
"No, for using your powers for malicious intent."
As the guardians moved forward the girl used her magic to stop the guardians dead in their tracks. She got up and started walking straight to the door. But, Dimitri had planned for this. When she got the council room doors open Rose was standing there. She incapacitated her instantly and picked her up in her arms throwing her over her shoulder.
"Come on." she said to the guardians who were finally free.
Rose dumped the girl into one of the guardians arms. Lissa smiled as Christian wrapped his arms around her waist, placing a small kiss on her shoulder.
"Thanks, Rose." Christian said with a smile, "For everything."
Rose smiled back, "Of course, Sparky. But, you owe me."
"With what? A lifetime supply of donuts?"
"Maybe," Rose said with a playful glare.
Christian laughed. It was great to be himself again.
