Placing the own between her teeth as she concentrated on her sudoku puzzle, she heard Rajat playing with trucks on the floor as Cars played on tv.
"Miss Shell! Miss Shell! I can do a magic trick! Wanna see?" He batted his lashes and she smiled, putting the book in her lap and moving her pen. She gasped playfully and grinned. He looked excited.
"Magic? Oh wow! Sure Id love to. Are you gonna make something disappear?" She asked eagerly. He nodded with a little sly grin. Rocking on his heels he tapped his chin and thought for a moment.
"Yeah! I'm gonna make myself disappear and...and something else appear."
She chuckled and sat back. "Okay. Let's see it."
He closed his eyes and began breathing funny, working himself up. He was concentrating hard and she knit her brows as she watched. The air around him seemed to pulsate like real magic and she leaned forward a bit. "Raj?" She was getting concerned.
Next thing she knew he turned into a cub tiger. Her mouth fell open and she quickly moved to stand on the chair. She had never ever seen such a thing. Not even with her boss who she knew was something more than human but didn't really want to know too much about it. She found herself screaming in fear which frightened Rajat who growled and scurried backwards as a tiger. She couldn't stop freaking out.
