"What do you mean purple?" I ask cautiously.

"They are half purple," Eli states once more. I turn to Jack.

"Do you have a mirror here?" I ask, slowly growing more and more concerned.

"Yeah in that room," Jack says, pointing to the bathroom. I walk into the small room and look at the shiny piece of metal. I look closely into my eyes and see that they are in fact half purple and seems to be growing more and more around my eyes. What is this? I walk back out to my friends.

"Well?" Nathan asks me.

"They are half purple and growing around my eyes," I answer.

"Can you still see?" Juno asks me with very concerned eyes.

"Yes, I can," I answer reassuringly. I look around the room testing my eyes. Nothing is different.

"Nothing's wrong guys," I announce focusing on their faces again, "let's just have a party?"

"Of course," Eli says with a smile. I smile in return. He has very bright eyes.

"So, what do we have planned?" Eli asks, breaking his stare.

"We thought a little common stuff," Tara answers, smiling widely.

"Like what?" I ask looking at their happy faces. These people are amazing.

"Truth or dare!" Liz exclaims happily.

"Yes!" Eli says, grinning widely, "I haven't played truth or dare in a long time."

"This will be fun!" I pipe in.

"But first," Jack interrupts, "tell us about your ceremony. It seems like something happened..."

"Well it was nice and stuff," Eli begins, "a couple girls caught my attention. But then there was an storm and metal secret girl and she was on a rain cloud and about to make an amazing lightning bolt, when a servant falls underneath the cloud and almost fell on to the metal daggers. Alice zoomed in and blocked the lightning bolt with her wings as she caught the servant."

Everyone gasps.

"Why would you do that? Are you okay?" Juno asks looking me up and down quickly.

"I'm fine," I answer honestly, "I don't know quite why. My mom's face was flashing in my head and the moment she was killed was playing on and on until I realized that I needed to save the servant. That servant has parents and a life that should be lived and I made sure of that. It was strange, something just came over me."

"That is amazing," Milo replies with wide eyes.

"But how did you survive after the bolt hit you?" Nathan questions.

"I don't quite know, but it felt like it energized me instead of burning me," I answer remembering just a few minutes ago, "Can we just play truth or dare? I rather not think about this right now."

"Of course," Jack replies, "who's going first?"

"Someone ask me first," Eli instructs, sitting on the ground, eager to play. I sit down quietly next to him.

"I will," I say once I sit, "truth or dare, Eli?"

"Dare," he answers with crazed eyes. I think to myself for a moment before answering.

"I dare you to call some random person and act like you are an angry old guy who didn't get his burrito in his last meal and blame the person on the other line for your missing food item," I dare him, smiling evilly. Eli seems really excited as he pulls his phone out from his pocket. We see him type in a number and raise the phone to his right ear.
