  The girls surrounded a book, trying to decipher it. Vivian and Alissa skimmed through the book.
  "Remind me why you have a spell book?" Devon asked.
  "The devil left it here." Vivian replied.
  "What?" Alissa asked.
  "Don't ask," Malena responded.

  There was harsh banging on the door. Spencer was trying to hold the door while Ivy kept pipes on the knob. Spencer looked towards Ivy.
  "I may need to shift," she mouthed.
  Ivy shook her head. "Not now," she mouthed back. "They'll freak."
  "What are you two doing?"
  All the girls stared at them. They shook their heads and kept holding the door.
  Alissa flipped to another page. "Oh! I think I found her!" She exclaimed.
  She began to read: "Lacella Shay, or Madame Lacey, is a demon who uses masks in order to possess her victims. She uses this technique in order to control their actions, which will lead her to murder people, and have them be blamed."
  Vivian stared at her. "What?" Alissa muttered.
  "Alissa, you just read Latin. Fluently."
  Alissa looked back at the scripture. It looked like Latin, but it was very clear what it said. Her eyes widened. "Weird, never learned Latin."
  Vivian shook her hands violently. "Girl!" She yelled. "Don't you know what this means? You have some weird powerful eyes!"
  "Like a witch?" Asked Ivy.
  "Maybe," Vivian responded.
  Suddenly the door broke down, sending Spencer and Ivy flying. Malena and Devon attempted to catch them before falling down.
  "Hello, witch," Madame Lacey whispered.
  Alissa pointed to herself. "Me, witch, or you witch?" She asked.
  Vivian sighed and shook her head. "Just read a spell," she replied.
  Madame Lacey summoned masks to her aid. Multiple masks surrounded her being.
  Alissa's eyes began to glow purple as she began to speak.
  "The woman who shalt feign a face,
    Put her back into her place!"
   Madame Lacey screamed before exploding. All the girls stared.
   Alissa's eyes turned back to normal, and she stared at the book.
  "Well, what a turn of events."
