A/n: There's some Conneree in this chapter y'all. And expect ALOT of that ship in this story because they're my ULTIMATE OTP OKAY? BYE!

-------------------------------------------------------

"Alex...what's happened to you?"
Conner thought out loud, shaking his head. Not only had she left, but she...had caused destruction. Destruction was a bad thing. The words Alex and Bad had nothing to do with each other.

He didn't understand. And he was angry for not understanding. One thing he was sure of though, was that this mess belonged to his sister. He knew it in the pit of his stomach.

Conner had no idea how long he'd been staring at the wrecked bathroom until a voice interrupted his thoughts, reminding him that there were still other people in this world.

"Ach mein Gott..." It was Emmerich. That little german boy that Conner had met while he was on his wild escapade around Europe. Emmerich looked shaken, both of his hands were over his mouth.

"We're too late....They-they've got to her a-already." He said, his small high pitched voice skaking as he spoke.

Conner turned toward him so fast, the little boy jumped.

"What do you mean they've got to her?" Conner demanded. He stepped closer to Emmerich."What are you talking about? Do you know something? Who's 'they'?!" Conner's blood was rising as well as his voice. Emmerich didn't reply. He just stood there completely silent and looked at Conner, his eyes wide.

"TALK!!" Conner shouted.

"Conner," said a calm familiar voice, snapping him out of his trance. He turned to see Bree Campbell glaring at him. It took him a moment to realize that he was firmly gripping Emmerich's shoulders. He was so blinded by his rage, he hadn't noticed what he was doing. No wonder the boy didn't say anything. Conner must have frightened him...

Conner removed his hands off Emmerich, already feeling guilty for scaring the little guy like that.

Bree moved her eyes back to Emmerich, "Do you know what happened to Alex, Emmerich?" She asked in a tone that was way more placid than Conner's. Gosh! How did she always manage keep her head all the freaking time?!

"When I-I was kidnapped by the witches, I overheard them talking..." He muttered.

Kidnapped by the witches? What on Earth had happened to him exactly? Why and how was he even there? Did Bree have something to do with it?

"What did you overhear them say?" Bree asked gently.

Emmerich was so nervous knowing that everyone was watching him, waiting for what he had to say. He gulped "They were talking about... about um... Alex." He said the last word as he glanced at Conner nervously.

Conner's heart sank.

The witches.

Soulless vicious beings. They had no mercy. They had no heart.
But they had his sister.
They had Alex.

"What did they say about her?" Conner was shocked by how calm his voice sounded now, and how it strongly contradicted his burning insides.

"They said that... they w-wanted to use her as a weapon." Emmerich replied.

Conner went in a daze as Emmerich started talking about how the witches had some kind of 'bewitched evil dust' in their possession that turns someone evil and how they had used it on Ezmia the Enchatress. He told them that they'd already tried using it on Alex before, but failed because her heart and good will were alot stronger than their magic.
