___________________________

I come to suddenly, what feels like hours later but my werewolf side knows it's only been a few seconds.

Not-Travis and Garroth are still around me, watching silently. Not-Travis smiles. "Ah, you're awake. Good. get up."

I try to obey, already forming an escape in my mind, but to my horror, I find I can't control my limbs. I can't move. I can't smell. At least, not the way I should be able to. It's... muted. I can't feel the cloth of my shirt anymore, the cold air of the room we're in, and I feel blind.

And that's when I realize.

She's back.

She stands up, eager to please Not-Travis' every command.

She's back. She is back. It's the lodge all over again. I'm stuck inside my head, forced to watch everything but not intervene.

What will I do this time? How many people will suffer because I can't stop it?

It feels different this time. More controlled. Stronger. Probably because it was a spell, not a potion.

"Ready to serve, Michael." A voice that isn't mine says. Michael? Who's Michael? WHY IS THIS HAPPENING TO ME AGAIN!? I'D RATHER BE WITH THE GUARDIAN FORCES THAN THIS!!!

"Good." He smiles. "Get ready. We move out in half an hour."

"Yes, sir." I give a stiff nod, and both Garroth and I leave, climbing into a helicopter that takes us to the center island, Starlight Wonderland, where we're led to an underground structure made entirely of gleaming, white-and-blue stone. It fills me both with awe and terror, because walking down the halls gives me a chill of something I don't understand. We see no one, and make it to a locker room of sorts uninterrupted, where Garroth grabs a suit of some kind, like a modified GF's outfit.

What the heck? I wonder as she slips into a changing room, taking off my clothes and putting on an identical set of armor. When I come out fully clothed in the armor, with the GF symbol on it, Katelyn is there as well, as stone-faced as Garroth, wearing the same armor but with an extra accessory. A blue pair of goggles over her bright, evil green eyes. My heart drops further. So she's in this, too. Now I only need to know what happened to Aphmau... Aaron... Lucinda... Kim... Kawaii~Chan... Dottie... Daniel... Zane...

Oh my Irene, Zane. He's going to kill himself over this. The memory of Kawaii~Chan comes back to me. That gash on her chest... there's no way she's okay. I only saw a glimpse of it, but... it looked much, much deeper than the ones Aaron had, and he's so much stronger than her, and even he barely survived.

No.

Kawaii~Chan is stronger than I think. I know she is. She's the one who was able to keep a clear head, keeping Aaron and I going when we broke. She's the one who pulled us back to reality after Melissa. She's going to make it through, so help me.

Everything that's happening... I thought today couldn't get any worse, but I was wrong. I'm in her again, and Not-Travis is Travis, but evil, and Garroth is under a spell this time and oh, my Irene I can't take it anymore! I can't keep doing this! I---

Wait.

Irene.

I close my eyes, not hers. Mine. Irene saved me at the lodge. The Purple Wind. Lucinda thought maybe it was Irene. And Terry told me to say hello. So...

Help me. Please. If you are Irene, please talk to me again!

Nothing happens.

PLEASE! I beg. I need help. We need help!
