I woke up, staring at the ceiling. My head hurt, my heart pounding.

Everyone was laying down, unconscious. Everyone, including Eve.

I slowly got up, and half walked, half dragged myself to Eve. Her white mask covered her face as usual, and I slowly removed it, hands shaking.

And instead of Eve, all I saw was Alexis' face.

I drew back. I almost fell over. Alexis isn't even a witch! She can't do magic! Alexis is dead! How-?

I looked around. Kerri and Will were unconscious, down on the ground, a few feet away from where we were dancing. They must've started running but got hit when they heard the spells go off...

I went into the kitchen, and heard talking upstairs. I carefully stepped over bodies and broken glass; people must've dropped there glasses when they were getting attacked.

I walked up the stairs, slowly and carefully. The talking that sounded once like a mumble, now started growing to a slight whisper.

I finished walking up the stairs, and saw the same hallway I saw at A's sleepover. I walked down the hall, listening, and stopped outside a bedroom. A's little sisters bedroom.

"Shhh... just go to sleep, alright?" A voice said. It sounded kind of high, but also mellow. Must be Duch...

"But, sissy! And everyone else, what did you do to them?" Another voice said.

"Cast a knockout spell... but don't worry. They're all fine... this was a dream. Just-shhh- don't cry... go to sleep... everything is fine..." Duch said...

"Promise?" The other voice yelped.

"Promise."

And with that I walked inside the room.

"Duch-?" I said. She turned around. Duch had been bent over a minute A. Dirty blonde hair that stayed in her face, and bright, big, blue eyes.

"I-I have something to show you."

Duch nodded me, and followed me downstairs. I walked into the living room, and showed her Alexis. She stayed bent over her, sometimes poking her with her wand, or nodding, or saying, "nope... yep..." and then sighed.

Duch stood up and said, "Alexis is dead. She's not coming back, and right now, she's a Infipu. If a witch or wizard kills someone, they can take over the dead body. It takes hard, hard, concentration, and much Dark Magic if they do it from another realm..."

"So this is just a version of Eve?" I asked. Duch nodded. "She controls Alexis... doesn't she?" Duch nodded again.

"And don't worry; I made all these people pass out. Just gimmie a second and I'll erase all these peoples memories. Hopefully they'll think they were drunk and forgot tonight..." Duch mumbled a spell and white wisp came out of people's heads and went into her wand.

"I'll clean up here, get everything back to where it was. You go on home. I'll wake up everyone.... by that I mean our friends," Duch said. She flicked her wand and Will, A, Kerri, and Zoe woke up.

"I'll tell A what's happening, you tell them," Duch said.

I nodded. Somehow, a little light inside of me extinguished. I kind of hoped Alexis was still alive...
