Until Eternity BxB

chapter 54

Alaric sighed "Look we're tiptoeing around the idea, why not just come right out and say it? the idea is- " he leant forward and placed his elbows on his knees and acted as though he was gesturing , or was about to gesture before Amity when "shhhh! don't tell them! show them!" which caused Alaric to roll his eyes before looking straight at me. I was getting rather uncomfortable but i couldn't help but watch him.

The brown of his eyes melted away once again to reveal a familiar blue-gray as his short spikey hair grew from his head like a play-doh children's toy and started to turn black . He began to get slimmer and this was increasingly difficult to watch as nearly thirty seconds later there was a copy of myself in the room. Except he was wearing a leather jacket and ripped skinny jeans. My only response was to blink and look down, I was not a fan of this nor this idea but it may work, if there is zero way of knowing that it's not I who is confronting Alviva.

I felt Maddox shift uncomfortably and i glanced to see him with red cheeks "Please tell me its the first time that you have done that?" I honestly wasn't thinking of that when I looked at the almost perfect replication of myself. "No Maddox don't worry, all of your experiences with chester have been the real chester, after all i remember what you told me after our first class together." He gave Maddox a wink which got me incredibly interested in what Alaric could be hiding. I raised an eyebrow in question as Maddox looked away from me.

"That is fantastic and all actually it's brilliant, we could-" Emily started but was stopped when we heard a very girlish scream come from the other side of the window. My head snapped in that direction where I saw Dave, soaked to the bone with his hands on his face. His face made me chuckle but i also wanted to go and give him a h-coat...I definitely want to give him a coat. Because I wanted to do that I nudged Maddox and pointed to the rain coat that was on the arm of the settee, which I assume that he had forgotten to take outside. Maddox smiled and stood up , going tot he front door so that he could greet Dave with the coat and maybe a towel. As though knowing what Maddox was doing -because it was somewhat obvious - Emily shouted "Towel is in the kitchen second draw down!"

We spent a few moments listening to any sounds which could be heard from the passage, Dave was talking away and panicking. Maddox tried to get him inside and comfort him as best as he could but Dave was extremely freaked out . "Could you imagine how he'd react if i had turned into him?" Alaric joked, hearing my own voice was really interesting...and embarrassing. Doesn't most people have that reaction though? for example hearing themselves on recordings and such just...doesn't live up to your expectations of your own voice.

"You'd give the poor bloke a heart attack..."Amity muttered with a sympathetic smile. but Emily waved her off "Oh don't worry, about him, he isn't the ...well eh isn't used to magic in general. I haven't practiced magic in a long while and usually I don't have any visitors. Of the magic sort anyway." We had a lil bit more silence before Maddox peeked his head in and looked around then his head went out of sight. There was a little bit more muffled conversation before Maddox opened the door , pushing a Dave who had his hands over his face.

We were silent in the room as Maddox put his finger over his lips before coming back to sit next to me, he seemed a lil cold so i repositioned my arm around his shoulder and pulled him closer to me. Dave moved one of his hands, looked around and when he saw me he put it back, then repeated with the other hand. This continued for a few moments before he removed both hands and sighed "There's two chesters...why is there two chesters?"

The other chester smirked "Why can't there be two chesters? in fact..." my black hair shrunk and lightened and my eyes darkened to brown "Why can't there be two Daves?" I facepalmed whilst Maddox whined out a "Alaric we just got him to come inside!" Emily scowled a little bit before walking over to the real Dave and putting her hands on his shoulders whilst he just stood there open mouthed. Alaric waved a little bit and Amity tried to hold back her giggles.

In response to being waved at, Dave lifted his hand and stepped back, completely doing a 180 and going up the stairs. Emily crossed her arms and gave Alaric a stern look "I know that this is your curse and i'm sure you'd want to make the most of it but be careful , Alviva had no idea what she was doing when she placed that curse." Alaric almost immediately turned back to himself startled . "Wait you mean i could be stuck in one form forever?! Chester good luck man!"

He said it in a joking tone so i waved him off a little bit "Okay so we've got a plan to get Alviva interested, what then? or what other details? are you just going to pretend that you're suddenly crazy for her all of a sudden? because that is really unlike me.." My eyes wondered around the room. It was an attempt to get the topic and subject back on track and to figure things out that we hadn't actually mentioned. It seemed good in theory and the basic idea could actually work.

"Don't worry about that, I have a small plan that might be able to work." Emily reassured , though the fact that i had only met her a few days ago still lingered in the back of my mind. I gave a suspicious look but I nodded towards her. "Okay so lemme get this straight?" Maddox asked as he pulled away and started to look around. "You-" He pointed at Alaric "are going to pretend to be Chester, Then Emily, you are going to come up with a plan to make sure Alviva knows that it's the real chester. then you're going to take her to the house which apparently has protective runes in it that could help us trap Alviva....then what?"

we were nodding away at all his summary until none of us knew what to say at the end. "We hope for a miracle" Amity suggested at the same time Alaric suggested "we torture her." They looked at each other for a moment before laughing. "We could just keep her trapped there...but i'm not sure how effective that would be..." I thought out loud before turning to Emily "Is there any spells that could help us?"

She paused and opened her moth, then closed it again. It was almost as though she wanted to say something but didn't want to suggest it because we would like it and want to go with it. "Well...there is one spell."
