Camila headed right over Selena's when Gigi texted her. Once there, the three eagerly waited for Karlie to explain. While hesitant, Selena was now getting excited about the prospect of putting a few pounds on her friend.
"All right, ladies, here's a little spell I picked up in Paris. It's so brilliant, you're going to love it. All we have to do is cast this spell," Karlie held a parchment in her hand that looked right out of a fantasy movie, "and every sugary, fattening, carb-filled calorie any of us take in will go straight to Taylor."
"Is that really possible?" Selena asked.
"Even if it's not I'm willing to try," Camila said.
Gigi clapped her hands with glee, Karlie just smiled knowingly. She had pulled the perfect group together for this. Every one of them had some reason to want to take part.
For Karlie, it was a combination of growing annoyance with Taylor's attitude, combined with her ignoring her, and also simple jealousy. Karlie always wanted to be the prettiest girl in the room, and while she thought most of her fellow models were a little below her level, she always thought of Taylor was being at least as pretty as her.
For Gigi, it was concern for her own weight. Even though she kept it in check, she always worried that her junk food habit would ruin her figure.
For Selena, it was being disenchanted with her best friend, who had been distant and standofish lately. And more than that, Taylor had taken to making comments about her weight, even though Selena was on the light end of her yo-yo weight pattern right now.
For Camila, it was a combination. When she had left Fifth Harmony she had thought of her self as the hot, thin, petite member going off on her own. She almost instantly started putting on weight. At first she was upset, then she learned to appreciate her rounder breasts and even her fuller behind. But then the weight kept coming, her breasts stopped growing, and it became obvious that weight was going all to the bottom of her short figure. She still thought of herself as cute and sexy, but was worried that she couldn't stop gaining. Even now, her stomach had gone from perfectly flat, to soft, and was now always sticking out and jiggling when she walked. The corset she wore on stage often to hide it were getting less effective. Even her face had gotten soft. Another few pounds and she'd have a potbelly and a double chin. Even though she wasn't quite fat, or even really chubby, she felt like a whale in the company of tall goddesses like Karlie and Gigi, and even Selena made her feel self-conscious.
Karlie could see all that on Camila's face. She looked her short friend up and down with disapproval. She really has gotten plump, she thought, but said nothing. Unlike Taylor, Karlie didn't enjoy mocking her friends for their weight gain to their faces.
"When can we do it? And how long does it last?" Camila asked eagerly.
"You have the right attitude, Camila," Karlie said with a laugh. "We can do it tonight."
"Yes!" Gigi said, almost as eager as Camila.
"They said that it lasts a week or so normally. You can renew it and make it last longer but apparently it gets harder and turns into a whole big thing so it might not be worth it."
"If I can drop ten of the twenty pounds I gained in that time I'll be happy," Camila said, "Especially if it all goes to Taylor."
That's more like thirty, dear, Karlie thought, but didn't say. Camila would clearly benefit the most from this.
"We're going to need some candles, and some spices, and some special incense..." Karlie laid out the parchment and began explaining the complicated ritual involved. They all felt the tingle of excitement, and also fear of joining a pact like this as none of them had experience with magic before. Selena was the only one who felt a little guilt, but the excitement, and the thought that Taylor needed a lesson, overruled that.
"You're all going to want to have a seat, this could take a while. But by tomorrow night, Taylor's going to be feeling a lot fuller than she ever felt before..." and Karlie began the long ritualistic process.
