"We have to figure out what that thing is" Lizzie said in a quiet voice.

"It's not a thing it's a person" I rolled my eyes.

"Well whatever"

"Do you think they are here for the same reason as us" I asked her.

I bet whatever she was here to collect that person was doing the same exact thing. This was actually kind of thrilling and taking my mind off of Hope who I was now thinking about. Shit.

"Probably but I thought I was the only one who knew about it"

"Well clearly not" I harshly whispered at her.

"Obviously there is someone here to frickin kill us"

I rolled my eyes again. We couldn't keep arguing.

Before I knew it someone was banging on the door. I let my hand go to Lizzie so she could siphon on me and I felt the power slowly drain from me but not enough for me to fall or pass out or feel weak. And that's all thanks to Hope and her training lessons with me. Again. There I go thinking about her.

"Focus please" Lizzie said.

"Fine sorry" I muttered and tried to remember the spell Lizzie was chanting.

The door finally blast open to see a random face. Bummer.

"Motus"

Me and Lizzie both chanted louder and the person went flying towards the wall and the loud bang against the wall startled all the picture frames that were hung and they smashed and fell from there posts.

The body of the limp person infront of us slumped to the floor but they were still alive.

"Well what do we do now" I sighed and let myself fall back into a chair that was beside me.

"Like I have an idea let's just get what we came for and leave" she huffed and kept prowling around the room looking for whatever she's looking for.

"Why don't you tell me what your looking for and I can help" I spun myself around in the chair as it kept making this incessant squeaky noise.

"Okay it's like a weird necklace thingy you'll know when you see it, it has a gold and chain and a green gemstone that's infused with something. It was an old witches talisman" she rambled on waving her hand in the air while opening and closing draws"

"Okay Lizzie calm down we can find it let's just maybe tie this person up first or take care of them"

"Yeah yeah okay" she finally took a breather and left the room leaving me alone with the sleepless body.

Before Lizzie could get back I noticed the person starting to mumble in that case wake up. I remembered Hope doing a spell to put someone to sleep once so I just chanted "ad sunom" and the body when lifeless again.

"Okay I'm back" she walked in with rope in her hands.

"Lizzie tell me you don't have rope stashed in your car"

"Stefanie I don't have just rope stashed in my car I have a whole damn armory in my car" she said and rolled her eyes. Of course she does.

"Okay plan A we tie up the body and wait for them to wake up and question them or plan B we tie them up in the car and question them at the school"

"I vote here the school is no fun" I held my hand up pretending I'm a voter or something.

"Okay fine when are they going to wake up anyway" she huffed and poked the lifeless body.

"Lizzie please stop thats annoying" I complained and grabbed a notepad and a pen listing down questions I wanted to ask the person.

Why are you here?
Are you trying to kill us?
Who sent you?

Most importantly I wanted to ask if they had anything to do with the malivore pit that hasn't brewed up any new monsters lately or maybe it did.

A heavy groan came out of the body and me and Lizzie jerked up. The head of the persons body hung low as they squinted their eyes.

They spoke some more gibberish and finally picked up their head.

"What are you doing here" Lizzie spoke.

The person laughed and picked up their head. They looked like someone I've seen before.

"I guess I'll repeat myself and I don't like being repeating myself what. Are. You. Doing. Here" Lizzie finally snapped and pointed out the ropes that burned the skin of the person. Apparently it was laced with vervain or wolfsbane.

"I'm here to kill her"
