fable name: Elias
prompt: [ 697 / 700 words ]

Odette wanted the love potion, first and foremost. But as she neared the store, she considered looking at the other wares on display too. Why not? After all, she got a friend to throw a ball and invite the shopkeeper (and then Odette pretended to be ill so she could avoid attending) - so all the attention is on the other side of the city. The shop was silent. So she snuck in.

As she reached the counter displaying the goods she was looking for, someone dropped from above. The shadowy figure made a dash for the love potion, getting to it before she did. Another thief! "How dare you?" Odette hissed, lunging for the flask. She manged to grab their wrist, but a strong push caused her to stumble backwards into a stand. She barely registered the sound of something smashing to the floor, her mind too focused on the mixture, and as they froze due to the noise, she snatched the potion away. A triumphant grin spread across her face, her mouth opening to say something, before dizziness suddenly hit her. What... was... She blinked slowly before dropping to the ground, distantly hearing the stranger collapsing too. A yellow... mist... was...

Elias slowly woke, his entire body feeling off. He pushed himself up and brushed his white-colored bangs away as he took in his surroundings. A dirty jail cell. Of course they got caught. In the cell opposite was the cause of the problem, also waking up. She raised her head, and - what? Elias blinked. It wasn't the other thief, but... himself? Someone who looked exactly like him? The other 'Elias' blinked, staring at Elias.

"Huh?" The other 'Elias' finally said, before flinching. He looked at his body, prompting Elias to do the same. His clothing was different, and the hair falling into his vision was white like before. He didn't have white hair. He looked up at 'himself' again, the pieces starting to click. A potion broke when they were fighting, and one of the potions for sale was...

"The body swap potion." The other 'Elias' said, finishing his thought.

"So you're the other thief. Great. Well first, what's your name? I can't keep thinking of you as 'the other Elias'."

"Odette." He - no, she - answered. "How great to meet you."

"Cool. We can figure out a solution later, but for now, I have a wire in my shirt, in the hem. Give that to me." Finding it, she threw it over and he caught it, both moves that were executed awkwardly as they adjusted to their new bodies. As he looked at his hands, he noticed how smooth they were too. "What are you, rich?"

"I am. So don't ruin my appearance. And have you never heard of a shower?" Her nose crinkled as she waved her hand dramatically.

"Yeah, unfortunately us poors don't get showers." Elias snapped, bending the wire with more force than necessary. "Why are you even going for that potion? Can't you just buy it?"

"Just for fun." Odette smiled sweetly. "They said I can't have it, so I'll steal it." Elias didn't respond, so she watched as he made a shape from the wire, then inserted it into the lock. It opened easily, and Odette stood, expecting him to unlock her cell too. But Elias paused.

"...if you're rich, I could just leave and pretend to be you." It was strange to see her own calculating expression.

"Would you know all of the customs and behaviors? " She responded, her tone innocent. He sighed in defeat, before opening her cell.

"The potion lasts a week." She commented. Elias looked surprised, before clicking his tongue.

"Didn't know that. I might know someone who can speed it up. Come with me. Else I'll stink up this body for a week."

Odette frowned, hating the idea of following this rogue. But she couldn't return home looking like this. "Fine. It better be done today."

"Sure thing Oddy, if you want to pay up." Elias grinned as she bristled at the nickname.

This will be fun, he thought.

I'm going to ruin his life, she decided.
