Chapter 3: Into The Dark Realm

Third person's POV
Ariana woke up, still tired in a grey, well organized room filled with numerous comics, a gaming console and action figures on its racks. She had been rested next to the blue-eyed black haired boy after a quite eventful night Liam had instantly regretted. She stretched her arms and grabbed her T-shirt, putting it on and taking a small gaze on Liam who had been fully wake, lost in his thoughts. 

"Now, what could you be thinking about?" Ariana asked curiously, putting on her trousers, her gaze still fixed upon the boy lost in his own mind. 

"Just about how I shouldn't have broken up with Pheobe nor slept with you," Liam said sadly, obviously still caught up on his feelings for Pheobe. This only earned him an annoyed eye roll from Ariana. 

"Oh, calm down. We're practically the same person – we are the same person. Plus, that should be the least of your worries." Ariana shrugged. She could tell that Liam was in denial of what had transpired on the previous night because he died and came back to life returning as a werewolf. 

"What do you mean?" Liam asked, now with more confusion. He slightly got up from his bed, his eyes focused on her. 

"You're in denial. Allow me to open your mind," Ariana said with a small sigh. She walked back to his bed, sitting at his side then pressed her fingertips onto his head. This made Liam more confused and somewhat flustered. What was she planning to do? 

"Enduido Leopa," she said, causing her eyes to go from their normal brown color to a a completely blue shade, as though she had been possessed. Liam didn't know what to do but before he could react, his eyes began to have the same reaction Ariana's eyes had, his head quickly facing up to his ceiling. Ariana chanted the spell more and more until Liam's head went back down and both their eyes went to their normal form. 

Liam looked at her in realization of what had happened the previous night - how she killed him and came back to life but didn't know what to say to this shoking information. "Better prepare yourself. Full moon tonight. If you thought dying was bad, wait till you see this," Ariana said with a sigh, leaving his side and walking out if the room. Liam watched her in bewilderment and didn't understand how he was drawn to her and how he has grown to fear her - whatever she was. 

At that time, Liam missed his ex-girlfriend and wished he had been with her the previous night, not her evil twin or part. He knew he was a hypocrite but he never really cared.

Knowing about his and Pheobe's break-up, Liam's mother was surprised to see Pheobe, or Ariana, in this case back in their home. "Pheobe dear?" an older woman asked whom Ariana could only assume was Liam's mother making Ariana realise they think she's her good counterpart.

"Good morning, Mrs Reynolds. I love your outfit, trust me, you should wear that more," Ariana said with a fake smile making Mrs Reynold smile while Mr Reynolds grunted, clearly uncomfortable with her encouraging his wife to dress in such a way - especially in front of their son. 

"My usual clothes got wet so I had to wear my old ones," she replied referring to her extremely tight jeans and even tighter crop-top as to her husband's dismay. 

"You should try it more often," Ariana said before exiting the house.

"Isn't she such a wonderful young lady?" Mrs Reynold said as she watched Ariana leave in awe.

"Sure, very wonderful." He grunted. Mr Reynolds never liked Pheobe even as herself. He always thought she was too good to be true and was too optimistic that she might not have been in touch with the real world. 

Meanwhile with Pheobe
"If I get it right, Miss Doppelganger is you? Or part of you and you're part of her?" Lisa asked her best friend. She spent most of her time at Pheobe's house.
