That witch seemed to get attached to Raze too quickly. Hero and Endie had go be with Raze for a lot longer to notice that he was a friend. And yet this witch just somehow clicked that fast. I think she came here for another reason. I even saw weird things about her, like of how she would often look at Hero in some way that made me think she was giving messages to him. What if she is trying to get Hero to betray Raze?
Soon, Raze got out of that room and I was too busy to watching her that I forgot about him. And yes, I was stalking them through the door.
Raze ran into me, "wh-Priya? What are you doing?"
I had to tell him, "can you read her mind and see what she's thinking? It's starting to creep me out when she looks at Hero the way she does."
"Okay, one sec..." he rolled his eyes before he stared intently at her for a while, then looked back right after she wasn't looking at Hero, and gave me a private message, she is up to something, but I can't tell. It has something to do with Hero, but the only thing she is talking about is a full moon. Maybe you know a little about witches and the full moon?
I returned with my own, yeah I do. That is the only time of the entire month when a witch can summon the rest of the witches with a call for help. And the full moon is in two days! We will need to keep her from seeing the full moon at all. Maybe Jacob and David know of a room where they can make sure she can't see any of the sky?
He replied, yeah. It's in the basement, but we would need to make up an excuse, like maybe that there are better supplies down there or that we don't want anyone seeing her and trying to kill her. That and make sure there is a lock to make sure she doesn't get a chance to get out. Wait. Can she use her magic to unlock things?
I shook my head, only when they can see the problem, and they don't have x-ray vision.
He sighed, good because I know just the right lock to do so.

He replaced the regular door knob with a lockable door knob, which looked extremely similar and we did ask Jacob before we did it. In fact, I barely noticed the difference until Raze pointed out the little red dot in the bottom of the handle, almost completely invisible, since it is so small of an amount of Redstone used to make this lock, and it's almost completely camouflaged into the wood below it, even with the light on it. But soon, Hero noticed our weird behavior and he came up, "um guys? What are you doing with the basement door?" We both jumped and I jumped into Raze's arms. Raze looked shocked but looked up at Hero.
Raze explained, "we think that Rhiannon has something she's hiding. I read her mind and she thought something about you and the full moon, so we don't want you to get hurt by her."
Hero's eye twitched, then he sighed, "I had a bad feeling about what was going on in that witch's head. Looks like we have some proof. But seriously, what are you guys doing to the door?"
"Making a lock for her that she can't see." He whispered as if the witch was right around the corner, then he dropped me and I made a little oof noise. "It's because this is the only area that doesn't have a window and is in the house so we can keep an eye on her."
Hero simply grinned at the idea, "good idea, just I don't see a lock, and that is not the way to treat a lady, Raze."
"Thank you for noticing that part." I sighed as I got up.
As if by excitement, Raze almost shouted but managed to keep his voice down, "I knew that the lock would be hard to find on the door!"
"Wait. You mean you already installed it? Wow. Genius! I didn't even know about it until you said that. But the door looks the same."
