Samantha's Journey into Real Magic Part 2

Rated (18+) Urban Fantasy, Romance and Adventure.
In 2010, Angel discovered Samantha had magical powers. Angel was 35 years old before Merlin changed her into a baby in Samantha’s womb. It was all part of a stage illusion, but Angel had an ulterior motive. In the middle of the illusion, Angel told Samantha she wanted Samantha to carry her for a full term and to birth her naturally. It was a big gamble to avoid the big ‘C’, "Cancer". Merlin took the pregnancy back to conception; then, Samantha discovered her magical powers. Samantha altered Angel's egg replacing the faulty cancer cells with healthy copies from her own DNA. Samantha is now 15 weeks pregnant carrying a ‘reconceived Angel’.
In the old days, the few people that had magical powers made the powers do exactly as they were told. However, Samantha had spotted that these powers had intelligence. She instructed her powers to work within a set of constraints. Her powers, Astrid and Arturus, would learn alongside Samantha. Samantha decided to test her powers by attempting to fix the drug addicts at the Milton University Research Hospital. When Samantha discovered that Arturus could read and repair memories, it was a small step to surmise that he could copy skills. Samantha postulated that craft skills were memories stored in multiple organs of a body. She saved the skills of a Paris-trained corsetiere and copied them to several recovered patients. She now had the means to build a new business; shortage of skills would not be a problem.
Samantha had set up a new company to make ‘made-to-measure clothes’; it would be targeting ‘the larger lady’. She now had a company that was rapidly giving her financial independence. The demand for new personnel was steady. Each patient Samantha rescued was added to her workforce. The fortunate few had a home and a job. Arturus fixed the patients. Samantha was left to come up with stories to explain away the recoveries.
Meanwhile, across the pond in Cuba ….
ZED was recovering from his close encounter with Merlin. His endeavour to find the ‘subject tested positive’ was successful. He now knew it was Samantha. Unfortunately, he had one answer and many more questions. How long had she been learning Real Magic? How strong was she physically? To name just a few. ZED had lived multiple lives. He had avoided his day of reckoning by using the power of his magical ring of Gaia. When a pregnant great-granddaughter reached 26 weeks, she became due to receive the spirit of the new baby. ZED’s magical ring became the conduit when held by ZED and the pregnant woman. ZED’s spirit moved through the ring into the new baby, thus preventing the arrival of a new spirit. ZED would be reborn yet again.
The current ZED was 35 years old. Despite his many lifetimes, ZED was still mentally immature. He acted like a spoiled child – very selfish and headstrong. He even had the arrogance to think he could steal Samantha from Merlin and had a chance of making Samantha his wife. Maybe he could turn Samantha into another Josie? ZED had treated all his women badly. His grand family at his mansion had lived there for many generations. Each generation had been indoctrinated to worship the head of the family. Each woman of the family had been trained, from the cradle, to believe that it was a privilege to be with the head of the family. He would be the greatest lover they could ever hope to bed. ZED’s family were little more than servants.
ZED tried to select a great-granddaughter who was carrying a boy, but, he had been forced to be female twice. Unfortunately, this hadn’t mellowed ZED’s attitude to the fairer sex. As a woman, she had been a complete bitch. She had been subjected to the family indoctrination of women in a rebellious attempt to oust her position. ZED came to regard them all as a threat.
