"I wish that Vic Rudolph would look the way he did one day ago," Karyn said. The stone glowed, granting her wish.
"Did it work?" Amy asked.
Karyn walked over to the cell door and looked in. The person inside definitely was a man now.
"Don't stand so close," one of the guards said. "Vic might ... look out!"
Karyn didn't have enough warning. Vic reached out as much as he could through the small opening in the door and grabbed Karyn's neck. "Uh whi ..." she tried to say.
"Can't make a wish if you can't talk, missy," Vic said, as he squeezed harder.
Karyn gasped for air and dropped the stone. It bounced and then skidded across the floor.
"Stop it!" Zoe yelled and then ran over to Karyn with her friend Athena. They both tried to pry Vic's hand off of Karyn's throat.
