Present,
Somerville, Massachusetts.
“I don’t understand, why you are in my handsome and attractive body and I have to be in this uselessly muscular meat suit. I want my pretty face back.” Reeve said frustratingly. He was indeed the more attractive sibling, he had very distinctive facial features. His eyes gave him a soft appearance but his broad jaw and perfect full lips made him more magnetic. The mask that he wore for the world of being rude and scowl faced was just a show if one look carefully, just his alluring smile was enough for anyone to see the purity of his soul. His body is strong and muscular. It's not like he has excessive leisure to get such a toned and strong body, but having a strong body is more of a necessity to him. He was not always like this when his parents were still alive. He was pampered and spoiled. He had a frail body but everything he used to be changed after that horrible day.
“come on dude stop whining. You are not alone in this. You don’t know how weird I am feeling talking to myself. And your body, I got dimples now. And this gummy smile of yours, augh... I feel like a baby.” Jim spoke out. He was a handsome young man too, but his features were more mature and sharper than his brother. He was more on a lean muscular side with his muscles popping out of clothes you can see his chiseled chest and broad shoulders. He looked more on the manly side, while his brother was more on the cuter side. They were both a piece of art and envy for many other boys and men.
“so, what is the plan now?” Jim said, the words were his but the raspy voice that came out was mine. The voice echoed through the whole motel room.
“Okay, let’s do one thing, let’s start with remembering everything we can from last night,” I said in reeve's suggestive tone.
“The last thing I can remember was that you were going to see some mother Ann after we went to the police station as FBI agents, to get more personal information about the vics,” Reeve remembered.
“yes, I remember the hex bag we found in the belongings of all the victims. And from the police, we got to know the connection between each of them. They all take therapy sessions from the same person, mother Ann, as they call her. Maybe we should check her out first, she might have done some magic on us, that we can’t remember anything that happened to us.” I said in a suggestive tone.
“I think you are right we should check her out,” Reeve said getting his bag from the table. He then grabs the keys and we went out of the motel. As they got out, going to the parking, reeve said, throwing Jim the keys of his Chevrolet.
“Today you drive the car, I don’t feel like driving.”
“Something is very wrong. I think the magic was are bounded to is very strong. You are behaving like me and even though I don’t want it I am behaving like you. I freaking drooled man. How absurd that is.” Jim said in a low voice, that sounded like a drum roll.
“Stop being a baby and start driving.”
They both get in the car, ignited the engine, and sped off.

Load up on guns, bring your friends
It's fun to lose and to pretend
She's over bored and self-assured
Oh no, I know a dirty word
Hello, hello, hello, how low? [x3]
Hello, hello, hello!
With the lights out, it's less dangerous
Here we are now, entertain us
I feel stupid and contagious
Here we are now, entertain us
A mulatto
An albino
A mosquito
My libido
Yeah, hey, yay
I'm worse at what I do best
And for this gift, I feel blessed
Our little group has always been
And always will until the end
Hello, hello, hello, how low? [x3]
Hello, hello, hello!”
“really Jim, you’re in a mood for music right now?” Reeve said to Jim who was driving the car. Jim is usually not much of a sucker for music, he usually peaceful and quiet but today is not a usual day after all. They were behaving like each other, even their choices have been switched.
“you do it every time we are on a hunt. I can’t do this?” Jim nagged like his brother.
“I want some peace.” He said turning off the music. In the next few minutes, they reached the address that they searched as the office of mother Ann. She is a known healer in the town. Her house was magnificent and modern, almost like it just got finished with the paintwork and renovation. As you enter the house the first thing, we saw was a big beautiful garden in front of it.
It could be described as a formal garden. With many trees lining the garden bearing beautiful orange leaves. It is fall after all. The grass was mowed in the garden and the center, there was a small stone fountain making the look of the garden more exquisite and calmer.
As we walked up a few steps to the door of the house and rang the bell, a guy came out. He looked around my age, maybe younger. I couldn’t recognize him, but the look in his told me otherwise.
“you guys are from yesterday, the FBI brothers, aren’t you?” He spoke out.
“Why are you here today?” he added.
“Sorry, I didn’t introduce myself yesterday, and also sorry for being rude to you guys. I am Kevin, I am mother Ann’s assistant and receptionist too,” he said taking out his hand.
“We came here yesterday?” Jim asked shaking his hand.
“Ah… yes! If you don’t have any identical twins, I think you did.” Kevin said sarcastically.
“so, tell me one thing, Kevin. Did we met with Ms. Ann yesterday?” Reeve asked him.
“You don’t remember?” he asked in a confused tone.
“No, tell us,” Jim spoke out.
“Yes, you met her, you even stayed here for a long time and then left in your car in the evening.” He answered.
“We did, dint we? So, where is Ms. Ann right now?” Reve asked.
“Ahh... actually, we want to have a chat with Ms. Ann. Is she inside? Jim meddled and explained.
“Yes, you can go. She told me yesterday to let you in if you come again.” Why she did this to us, why would she let us inside so easily?
“okay thanks, ah… Kevin.” Reeve thanked.
“yah sure.” They heard him saying when we stepped inside her workspace.
“doesn’t all this seem strange to you?” Jim questioned.
“We did come here yesterday, and we just left after spending a few hours with Ms. Ann. How come I don’t remember a thing? All this is pretty strange.” Reeve spoke in a husky tone.

“boys you’re back, did you get the book from her?” we heard a shaky female voice talking to us from behind. We both turned back to see the person talking to us. The person standing there was an old lady, around sixty, wearing a floral gown and a lot of gems, holding some blue and white orchids in her hands. Her hair was tied up in a bun and she was wearing a bit of makeup.
“you are mother Ann?” Jim asked her.
“yes, we have met before, just yesterday, remember?” her words, they sounded familiar somehow to them, her voice too. they thought that maybe they did meet her. But the question bugging inside their head and making them restless was that what actually happened yesterday that they can’t remember a thing.
“What happened yesterday?” Reeve asked her in a quiet tone.
“You don’t remember what happened yesterday?” she asked out.
“no!!” both Jim and reeve spoke out in unison.
“Oh, my lord! Did she cast a spell on you?” she asked again astounded.
“Not just that, our souls have been switched too. this is me but the body is my brother’s.” Reeve said in an informative tone.
“can you tell us what happened here yesterday? We need to know everything.” Reeve said in a strong tone.
“yes, please tell us. And what sell you are talking about, who cast it.?” Jim asked her in a deep and confused voice.
“get seated, I’ll tell you everything but let me first switch your soul back in your bodies. Wait here ill be back.” She said and went upstairs to get something for the reversal spell.
She came back downstairs after about ten minutes holding a big bag in her hand and said,
“Okay I've got the ingredients but it would take some time for me to successfully create a reversal spell for you, so I want you to be patient.” Both brothers were sitting on the couch quietly and confused. They knew that Ann was going to help them get back to normal and only she could do it. So, they were just sitting there unmoved.
She then went to a room which was connected to the room the boys were in. and after a few seconds passed she called them in. as they were walking into that room, they saw that the room had two big full-size mirrors placed in front of each other. In a table beside it, she lit a black colored candle which was fixed on a candle stand made of brass and a sandalwood incense stick. She let the incense stick burn for a while to let its smoke fill the room. Then he placed the candle on the floor, exactly in the middle of the two mirrors, and carved an X in the candle. After she was done with the preparations, she said,
“now boys, stand in front of the mirror.” They followed what she said.
“now focus your vision back and forth from both the mirrors, don’t think about anything else just concentrate. This will remove the negative energy of the evil spell that you got cast on you.”
Standing in the space between the mirrors, Jim and Reeve were facing each other. Their focus was going back and forth between the mirror on their left then on their right.
“now say these words after me” Ann spoke out in his authoritative voice.
“The magic upon me,
Be trapped this night.
Between these mirrors,
Never see the light.” She asked them to repeat the incantation.
“and remember boys the spell only works if your lips, your voice, and minds want the same thing, so concentrate.” She informatively said.
They both started chanting the spell, while the fragrance of the sandalwood helps them concentrated and calm their mind.
“The magic upon me,
Be trapped this night.
Between these mirrors,
Never see the light.”
“keep chanting the spell...” she ordered.
“The magic upon me,
Be trapped this night.
Between these mirrors,
Never see the light.”
“The magic upon me,
Be trapped this night.
Between these mirrors,
Never see the light.”
“The magic upon me,
Be trapped this night.
Between these mirrors,
Never see the light.”
Finally, the flame of the candle extinguished.
“Now you can open your eyes and look your original self in the mirror.” She said giving relief to them.
They slowly opened their eyes and looked themselves in the mirror. The spell worked on them; they were back in their body. Now reeve looks live reeve and Jim looked like Jim. They checked parts of their body by touching them with their hands. They felt bot amused and at ease. Jim was combing his hand through his hair while reeve was checking his beard.
“you guys done?” a voice came from behind pulling them out of their self-love and amusement.
“yes yes,” Jim said.
“let’s go out of this room first, these mirrors have captured the magic that was done on you. I would have to keep them locked till next full moon the magic will be powerless behind the mirror walls till then.” She said and the three of them walked out of that room. After getting out of the room, she again said,
“Now tell me what happened yesterday.”
