"A conductor? What's it suppose to do?" I ask.

"Follow me. I'll show you." Jack says with a l excited tone, running off towards a back table.

I follow behind him with Tyler in tow. He's never this excited for anything. Other than when he realized I was his friend or when he got a date with one of the head cheerleaders. We get to Jack's table and he places the machine down on the table. It looks like a giant control box. He clicks a button and looks up at me almost like he's expecting something.

Wait. Why didn't he warn me? I feel the air moving and my powers being slowly pulled from me. He created a power taker? I let go of Tyler's hand and put both of mine infront of me to pull it back. I try to focus on pulling it back but it takes alot of energy and concentration. When I try that it increases the pulling and I struggle to hold onto it. While my breathing increases.

Jack quickly turns it off and I collapse and try to catch my breath. Tyler squats beside me and looks into my eyes like hes searching for something. Jack comes over to my other side and pulls my head towards him and tried to do the same thing. His eyes look off  but I don't know how to name it. He looks away every few seconds like he doesn't need to but is doing it for an unknown reason. I don't think its because I'm more dominate than him.

"Are you okay? What did he do to you?" Tyler asks very concerned.

"I think I'm fine and he tried to take my powers." I say looking at the machine with worry.

"You like it?" Jack asks. "I made it to take powers. It's suppose to take them hold them until they are released. I made it summer! It's suppose to pull stronger the more you resist and the less you resist the less it pulls. Do you know how this can help?" He asks like an excited child. Too excited.

"Good for you." I say giving him a smile. I'm proud of him but I'm worried it will get into the wrong hands quicker than he thinks and I'm nervous about that. I really wish he didn't invent it but I'm not gonna ruin his dreams like a jerk. "I'm proud of you."

Jack gives me a wide smile. "Thank you Summer." He says giving me a hug.

"For what?" I ask confused, playing along. Okay who is this? Jack isn't like this and he doesn't give me hugs openly.

"For not getting mad at me when I tried my project on you without telling you." Jack says pulling away and standing up.

Tyler stands and pulls me up. I grip the table to not collapse. This isn't Jack because he would have warned me about it and taken records on it. "Just don't use that on me again. I'm lucky I had a hold on my power just now after everything that has happened today." I say.

"What happened?" He asks. He looks between Tyler and me a couple times. "Why? Did something happen between you two-? Or something else?"

"No thats not it. I guess I'm a magnet for fights." I say with a grin. "I got stabbed in the shoulder and some jerks stole my papers so I had to get them back and its just been a long day."

"Stabbed in the shoulder? Is it your right shoulder?" He walks towards me again with his hand held out.

"Yes and the nurse said I couldn't train for a while." I eye him. Jack turns me so he is facing my right shoulder.

"Can I see it?"

"It's stitched up."

"I know but can I see how big it is?"

I nod. Jack lifts the back of my shirt. I hear him let out a gasp as he gets the shirt halfway up. He continues the shirt up and places a finger over the stitches carefully. He mutters something under his breath and I feel myself get really sleepy. My knees buckle and Tyler catches me. My eyes start I close and I feel like I'm being put into a coma.

"What are you doing to me?" I try to ask but my words slur. All he did was touch the wound so how can I be drugged?

"Shh. Its okay. We'll take care of you." Jack says with a devious grin.

"No." I say trying to pull out of the sleep.

"Stay calm. I'll help you." He says squatting in front of me. He grabs my chin and pulls my head up to face him. I look in his eyes and see they aren't his normal grey-blue. They are glassed over and dark blue.

"Who are you?" I ask, words still slurring and my mindnis trying to comprehend everything going on.

I feel Tyler pick me up. He shifts me in his arms and tense up like he's going to start running.

"I'm Jack, your best friend." He says.

"Jack doesn't have powers. He's a wolf not a witch. He wouldn't make something like that to hurt me either." I say as the spell takes a tighter hold. "And his eyes aren't dark blue."

I hear him give off a mischievous laugh. I jump and fall out of Tyler's arms. He goes to grab me but I swatt his hand away. I stand up and face the Jack-imposter. He looks shocked. I close my eyes and call my power to my arms. I feel it pull the spell and I shifts my power to make the spell into a power I can harness.

I send a ball of it at the imposter. He catches it and it dissappears. He passes a hand infront of himself and his features change. He turns to a brown haired guy with dark blue eyes. He's built like a wolf but he holds a diffrent authority.

"You miss me Summer?" The guy asks with a wicked smirk, showing off his white teeth. His canines seem longer than normal.

"Daniel." I whisper as Tyler growls out, "Vampire."
