~ Hey guys! I'm sorry for the hold up. School is just ending for me and I have more available time to start writing again. I have big plans for this story!... but here's the chapter you all have been waiting for! And also... where the action begins! :) Enjoy! ~

Diana Cavendish [POV]

It's the middle of the night, I'm actually a little scared. This reminds me of those cheesy movies where people explore haunted houses and they end up dying in it... horrendous. I made sure Akko and Andrew fell asleep tonight... I totally didn't use a sleeping spell on them... maybe.

I walk around, trying to find some clues on what I have to look for. the spirit really didn't give me any clues much. Very helpful. Am I just wasting my time?

THUD

I peeked up quickly at the noise.

Whatever it was... keep walking... I can defend myself when the time is right.

I kept at my pace moving forward but cowardly overthinking the attack I might do if some "monster" is behind me... I've watched too many scary movies to this moment. As cheesy as they may be, they are pretty entertaining.

My wand as the only light source, lights the way to the mysterious underground section of the Hanbridge estate.

It could use some cleaning...

But if I used my magic to clean, I would possibly be cleaning up clues as well. I hate being a perfectionist. Akko would always wish to have my type of "perfection." I always look at her and tell her it's a damn curse. She act as if being "perfect" is some type of superpower.

Pfft as if.

I finally make it to the bottom of the staircase. Honestly felt like I did a work out.

The basement looks like it hasn't been touched in ages. Almost ancient looking. I touch the big ancient rock in the path further down in the basement.

No life.

Like it was an... illusion.

I flicked my wand in the air and casted an attack spell, the giant rock vanished.

Whoever casted this illusion spell must've been very powerful.

I myself would've been fooled to think it was a real one. It's almost as if someone had put the rock there to... protect something!

My first clue.

I kept walking, my footsteps echoing in the forbidden tunnel. I sense something powerful ahead.

The Hanbrides hate magic. Why do I sense magic down here?

A small thought came across my mind. What if the Hanbridges didn't hate magic? What if Andrew wanted to become a witch? Well, witches are females so... what would males be called? The possibility of names and how funny they sound send a smile across my face.

Andrew practicing magic, Pfft I'm hilarious.

I reached a dead end. The only thing I see in the middle of the room is a tome. I walk right up to it.

"The curse... on... the lineage... of the hanbridges..."

The text was ancient. I only made out a few words from the 2 pages opened right in front of me... but a curse? Maybe if I can just read through it again.

"Reading... activates...curse.."

Wait...

I quickly stood back from the book. What have I done?! Will the whole Hanbridge linage be endangered or ... the latest one... Andrew...

The book flashed red and a bunch of magic lit up the room... in an instant... it vanished.

Akko Kagari [POV]

Ouch!

I wake up from the thunderous thud my body made as I landed on the floor.

Geez, what the heck was I dreaming of to make me fall out the damn bed?!

I look around the room to make sure if somebody done it... maybe Andrew playing a prank. What an awful prank. He's going to pay back!

I searched the whole room, no one was there.

Hmm, what did I dream of?

It must be bad if my bed looks like a total disaster and I landed on the floor. I don't even know what time it is but I'm friggin wide awake!

Maybe... I can pull a prank on Andrew!

An evil playful grin spread across my face

Where's my permenant marker!

I grabbed the marker from my bag and opened the door to the deathly silent halls of the Hanbridge mansion.

Spooky.

I go to the room across the hall and slowly opened it... and hopefully it doesn't...

SQUEAK

Crap!

I stood still in the door listening... all I could hear were Andrews breaths of deep sleep.

Ahhhh yess! The moment you all have been waiting for... The embarrassment of Andrew Hanbridge!

I take off the cap to the permanent black marker, and slowly walked to the side where Andrews face was exposed. The grin kept getting wider on my face I could almost giggle of laughter. I slowly start putting the marker closer to his face...

Andrew Hanbridge, prepare to be played by Akko!

An inch away and suddenly... His eyes popped open... with a red glow!..

I gasped and backed away.

He stood up straight quickly and looked dead at me, within seconds his hands were around my neck and choking me that I couldn't breathe.

"A-Andrew.. w-what the heck?!"

"You thought you could easily slip by me Atsuko Kagari?!"

I'm scared to death as I see him put on an evil deathly type of grin.

This isn't Andrew... no... he plays but not this forcefully

I start running out of air and my legs were trying to kick myself free, but he was taller,stronger, and somehow lightning speed faster than me.

"A...An..dr..ew" I chocked

I start to become weak. I looked one last time in his eyes... and saw nothing but an evil and dark soul with the appearance of a beautiful man.

"AKKO!"

D-Diana?

And after that last thought, there was nothing but darkness.

Diana Cavendish [POV]

As I yelled Akkos name, all I could see was the fear in her eyes... looking dead at me.

Andrew looked at me with deathly eyes I've never seen before... he dropped Akkos unconcious body.

"Well, well,"

"Andrew... what have you done to Akko?!" I chocked.

He slowly looked behind him, and saw her looking lifeless. For a few seconds I saw a shocked look, but then the awful deathly face came back on.

"Oh, her.. She will be fine Diana! I didn't kill her... yet. Of course I was waiting to see you show up and watch me kill her. Lighten up!" An evil grin spread across his face

"Who are you?! What is your name evil spirit!"

He looked serious at me for a second, then laughed

"You foolish idiot! I am Andrew! Just... the side you never saw of me."

"You're a plague." I said fiercely

I pulled out my wand, ready to attack.

"Don't be stupid now," He picked up Akko's unconcious body, "one false move and I'll kill her in an instant!... you don't want you're young friend to die! Especially since her special day is next week!"

Akko's birthday...

"I suppose she told you... Andrew."

"Of course she ... DIDNT. I figured that out by finding a silly little journal just laying around in her bedroom. My,my! Don't you write down your inner most thoughts in a little journal as well? Guess she really is YOUR match."

I grit my teeth

"Oops ... did I touch a nerve?" He laughed

"Leave her alone... AND FIGHT ME YOU BASTARD!"

He stood there to think for a few seconds

His face lit up

"As you wish, Cavendish."

We both launched in the air, and the fight for Akko's life began.

Andrew Hanbridge [POV]

I remember... dreaming about her. Then... the darkness awakened.

I was standing in the middle of darkness, nowhere. Nothing ahead of me, nothing behind me.

What the hell is going on?

I'm scared to move out of my place. I feel like I would be going no where.

"You're right Andrew!"

I look around... nothing.

Who the hell are you?

What's amusing is that my own voice replied back

"I'm you... want me to prove it?"

I frantically look around to see who the hell is playing mind games. But suddenly I'm in my own room again, watching Akko about to write on my face with a black marker.

Akko!!

I woke up and suddenly I had no control over my own body and I just watched myself slam Akko to the wall choking her.

WHAT THE HELL?! WHO ARE YOU?!

AKKO!!

I saw her looking at me, with frightened eyes, on the verge of tearing up. Her expression changed when she came to realize something.

I came to realize something...

She will never forgive me...

"Lighten Up! She LOVES you... well... LOVED."

LET GO OF AKKO RIGHT NOW!

"She's just collateral damage... for the real revenge!"

I had no idea why, but my inner darkness calling her collateral damage... made me so angry. I could almost punch myself in the face.

"I wouldn't think those thoughts if I were you..."

I felt like I was in control again. I looked at Akko... painfully. She was unconcious from the damage the evil side of me did.

"I WARNED YOU TO NOT DO THAT"

I lost control, and found myself back in the middle of nowhere, but with an excruciating pain in my heart

I yelled in pain.

"That's what you get... defy me again and I will eliminate you for good."

I have to do something. I don't know how to fight this thing! I don't even know what's going on.

Looking through my eyes again, I see Diana.

"AKKO!"

I forgot about Diana. Diana will never forgive me... She will never look at me the same again.

Akko...

I will never forgive myself for this. Even if it really isn't me.

No... it IS me.

The Andrew that has been tucked away for a long time. I can still feel him inside me... even if he is in control of my body right now.

I didn't pay attention to the conversation evil me and Diana had. All I heard was

"As you wish, Cavendish."

And...

They are fighting... with... magic...

Diana...

she doesn't even like Akko. Why is she fighting for her?

"You're not the only one who admires... Akko."

Hearing that response from evil me...my blood boiled in anger. Diana can't possibly be in love with Akko!

All I hear are the wand attacks Diana and I are casting at each other.

Diana...

Akko...

It will never happen.

That's when everything stopped. I open my eyes and find myself in my own body again.
