I dedicate this chapter to candyconrtol for being so amazing! XD

Ally might actually be suspicious now. She raises her eyebrows and looks at me and the entrance, obviously confused. "What is going on here? What did you do? What are you going to do to me?" She's freaking out.
"Relax, I'm going in. Stay here." She gives me a look, but I walk through the chimney, ready to face what's beyond.
"Was there even a project?"
"Nope, you fell for it." I smirk. I look back to see her reaction, and it makes me smile even more and very happy to see her like that.
I walk through the dark hallway, wondering what's at the end. I realize I already know what's at the end. Grammy? I think and hope.
I hit a door. There must be a knob, so I feel for it. I find it, and twist it slowly. I hear Ally yell something, but I can't understand it. Light hits the hallway. It's a hidden room with Grammy! Then Ally tumbles through the entrance, blinded by the light.
"Why did you come?" I'm mad. I told her to stay.
"I said I was coming! You didn't say anything!"
"I didn't hear what you said, only that you yelled!"
"Look! It's an old lady!" She seems astonished, but I'm not.
"It's not an old lady," I scowl at her.
"Who is it?" She doesn't seem like herself at all.
"No one. Let's free her."
"Free her? What's going on? How do we know she's kidnapped? She looks like she's sleeping!"
"Nothing..... important is going on." She shoots me a look. "Nope. Not saying." She is clearly annoyed.
I hear a door slam. Ally heard it too.
"Uh-oh, I think they're home!" She says scared. Ally is not happy with me. Well, go figure. I tricked her. I took her into a stranger's house. I know something she doesn't. And they're home.
We're going to get caught. Oh wait, just Ally. I can't help but smile, until I realize she will know.
"What? Why are you smiling when we're in a stranger's house and they're home and going to find us!"
"Not us. Just you." I whisper so quietly so she can't hear me that I want to be a fly, but she is eyeing me down while I do it. She will know. She will, in a second. Oh, no, my life is over.
She watches me turn into a fly. I watch her squeal. "You're.. a.. fly? But how, you.. you... I don't know what you are."
"I'm a shapeshifter, I guess, and you're all alone." I fly out the window. She yells, and I watch through the window and see a lady with shorter, blonde hair walk in.
"What is this?" Ally's busted! But, seriously, there's no way that she can charm her way out of that one.
"Let me tell you!" She tries to tell her about how I got her in, so for once, it's the truth! I agree with the next question she asks, which is, "What does this have to do with you anyway?"
"I happen to work for their alarm system company, which knows when their door opens, and we ask if it was them, and they said no, so I came to investigate. Why are you with this lady?"
"She was here. She's magical!"
"Don't lie! Let's go outside and get you some fresh air and maybe you'll be honest."
"But I ammmmm!" She throws a fit.
"Now, now, come on!"
"Finnnee." She doesn't like that. She sounds like a baby, and she throws me the worst look anyone ever gave anybody.
I become myself, and overhear their conversation as soon as they come outside.
"She was here. Right with me. I didn't do it."
"Why am I supposed to believe you?"
"Because it's true. I didn't do it."
"How do I know you're not lying? That couldn't have happened!"
"But I'm not!"
"You're coming with me."
She sighs. "But..."
"No excuses. You can lie or be honest. If you are being honest, tell your story to that family. But you can't have any story like this that will make us think otherwise."
"Ok." She sighs again.
I run away behind the house. They can't see me, they can't, they can't. (Prolouge)
