Maggie had stolen her mother's spellbook a fortnight ago just waiting for this exact moment. The darkness that usually blanketed the island had been mitigated by the bright light of the full moon.
Perfect conditions for spellcasting.
She climbed out of her window and into the sandy village streets. She walked through the candle lit pathways until she got to her friend's house. She lightly rapped upon the window. Her friend Courtney opened the window.
"Maggie." She burst out
"Quiet." Maggie whispered
"Oh right?"
The two girls ran down the street until they came to the harbor. The harbor had no lightning nor ships. They ran up to a single gibbet in the harbor. Contained inside the cage were the skeletal remains of a pirate. Below the cage was a sign.
"Beware the ills of piracy."
"You got the book?" Courtney questioned as she bounced up and down in excitement.
Maggie retrieved the spellbook and flipped open the pages. After flipping through a few pages she came upon a page with a necromancy spell.
"There I found it." Maggie announced
"Yes!" Courtney stated
Courtney continued jumping in excitement.
"Alright I'm about to resurrect him." Maggie said, she then continued
"Dear Goddess Jezebel, give me strength. Let my favor be well enough with you to summon your mana."
For the first time in the young witches life she could feel magic flowing through her body, it felt as if she was levitating above the ground.
Courtney could barely control her excitement, her heart began to beat faster and faster. Maggie reached her hand into the cage and touched the deceased man's skull.
"Jezebel with your magic reconjures this man's spirit." She recited the spell.
The feeling of static rushed through her arm and into the skeleton. For a moment everything was silent. Then the cage popped open and the skeleton walked out.
The two girls both jumped and screamed in unison.
"We did it." Maggie shouted
"We resurrected him." Courtney added
"You think he'll do our bidding?"
"I hope so, I'm tired of doing my chores."
The pirate skeleton slowly walked towards the girls. The two watched in amazement as their creation moved towards them. When the skeleton finally reached them he reached out and tightly grabbed their throats. He squeezed until their tiny necks broke and then dropped their corpses onto the ground.
He retrieved the dagger the guard left on his person and used it to skin the girls and wear their corpses.
The once male pirate was now crossdressing in the flesh of two teenage girls. They slicked their now long blonde hair back, played with their breast for a second and then looked into the water to see their reflection.
"Looks like I get a second chance at life. This time as a woman." She exclaimed.
