Alex was wrapped up in a blanket, sitting on the couch watching television. The TV show that she was watching ended indicating the time was seven-thirty. Alex was fed up with waiting and got up heading for the stairs. Theresa was in the kitchen fixing dinner and saw Alex going for her bedroom.
"Hey Alex! Do you want to eat dinner early? We're having my four cheese lasagna surprise," said Mrs. Russo.
"No thanks mom. I think I'm going to just go to my room," said Alex.
"Oh, come on Alex. I'll let you have a piece of cake before dinner," said Mrs. Russo.
"No that's okay, mom," said Alex.
"Well at least take these up to your room in case you do get hungry," said Mrs. Russo.
Theresa cut out a square piece of lasagna and a piece of cake, put them on a plate, and followed Alex upstairs. Alex opened the door and crawled into bed with the blanket still around her shoulders. Mrs. Russo set the pasta and cake on her night table and reminder her that it was there if she wanted it then left. Once the door was closed Alex slowly got out of bed and went over to the door. Alex put her ear up against it and listened. She couldn't hear anything so she locked the door silently.
Alex drew the wand out of her shoe and flashed herself out and into the lair. She went straight over to the magic book, looking for ingredients for the wolfsbane potion. After minutes of page turning Alex finally found the potion that Max had drunk during wizard lesson. Alex took a small cauldron off the book shelf and put it on the desk. She waved her wand and the cauldron was full of water. She waved her wand again and cauldron began glow growing hotter.
The cauldron was almost done ten minutes later. The potion was a muddy brown , which made sense since one of the ingredients was mud. The one thing that Alex didn't like, however, was that it didn't look like the potion in class. There was only one ingredient left, wolfsbane. Alex scoured the shelves looking for wolfsbane but could not find it anywhere.
"What are you doing?" yelled Justin.
"SSHH! Keep it down. We're not supposed to be here, remember?" said Alex. Justin walked up to Alex, standing over her.
"What are you doing?" whispered Justin.
"What does it look like? I'm making a potion. I just can't seem to find the wolfsbane," said Alex.
"That's because all the herbs are hidden back here," said Justin.
He taking out his wand and waving it at the bookcase next to the entrance. The bookcase slid to the side revealing many herbs and other potion ingredients.
"That's not what I meant. I meant what are you doing down here? You said eight," said Justin.
"I got tired of waiting," said Alex going to the hidden bookshelf and grabbing wolfsbane, "How did dad get to this if he doesn't have magic."
"There's a switch. Are you making the wolfsbane potion?" asked Justin.
"Dad said it could be used on wolves to turn them back," said Alex.
She threw the wolfsbane into the cauldron. The green melted off of the herb and into the potion changing it to very dark green. The herb then dissolved seeping into the potion. Justin walked over to Alex holding a vial and an eye dropper.
"No. Dad said it changes a werewolf back into a human or wizard if they had the potion before their first full moon," said Justin filling up the vial with the fully made potion.
"Dad also said that it could be used on wolves," said Alex.
"It's controversial, Alex. It may or may not work," said Justin corking the vial.
"It's worth a shot. Just like it's a shot having Juliette drinking a human," said Alex.
"Fine," said Justin, "but we should have a backup plan too okay?" asked Justin.
"Deal, but we have to have a backup plan for you too," said Alex.
"Deal," said Justin, "So where are we going to start?"
Both Alex and Justin thought for a while. Alex looked up, "You know the magic book better than me, so you check that and I'll check the wiz web."
"Okay," said Justin going over the magic book flipping the pages back to the beginning.
Alex went over to her table that she sits at during classes and opened up the top starting the computer. Fifteen minutes go by with no sound coming from either of them except for pages turning and the clicking of keys.
"This is useless I don't even know what I'm looking for on this stupid thing," said Alex.
"I don't either," said Justin looking up from the book.
"Hey Justin, What about the transfiguration spell? If we use that on Mason and Juliette?" asked Alex.
"It might work but I doubt it would because they weren't turned naturally…or by a wizard. They were turned by a werewolf scratch and vampire bite. I'm sorry, I don't think it'll work," said Justin.
"Can we call that plan B?" asked Alex.
"Only if we come up with a plan C," said Justin.
"Ugh…how many more plans do we have to come up with?" asked Alex.
"Until I'm sure that we have a plan that'll work. I'm not going to lose Juliette a third time. I won't," said Justin.
"How are we going to find them anyway?" asked Alex putting her head in her fold arms on the desk.
"Go back to Transylvania, I guess," said Justin.
"I don't want to go back there," pouted Alex like a child.
"It's the last place where we saw them. It's our best chance," said Justin.
"Yeah I know," said Alex, "tomorrow after school, we'll go to Transylvania with the potion and wands."
Justin looked at Alex and nodded in agreement. Alex closed the lid of the WWWW computer and both of them flashed out of the lair and back up to their room. Alex picked up the piece of cake that was on her nightstand from before she left the room. Alex was halfway through her cake when there was a knock at the door. Alex set down her fork and swallowed.
"Come In," said Alex. The door knob turned and Harper walked in.
"Here you are, Alex," said Harper.
"Of course, I'm here. Pfft," said Alex picking up her fork again, "I've been here all night…Pfft, why would you think I wouldn't be up here."
"Because I was up here about a half an hour ago and nobody answered," said Harper.
"Heh…That's…because I was…asleep," said Alex. Harper gave Alex a look of disbelief.
"I think I know you better than that," said Harper, "especially when you're lying."
Alex got up and went over to the door. She looked up and down the hallway then closed the door softly. She went back to her bed and sat next to Harper.
"How much do you know?" asked Alex finishing her cake, putting the plate on the night table.
"I know that you didn't just go over to the Van Huesons to tell them their daughter's not coming back," said Harper.
"Well that kinda true. We were originally going to do that until they gave us an idea on how to bring her back," said Alex.
"But I don't want her back," said Harper.
"Even if you could get Justin, Harper, you would probably need to give him so time," said Alex.
"How much time?" asked Harper.
"I don't know! Can we get back to the subject?" said Alex.
"Mr. and Mrs. Van Hueson said that Juliette might be able to be turned back into a vampire if she drinks a fresh human blood," said Alex.
"A HA HA –" yelled Harper.
"Keep it down Harper," said Alex, "and today in wizard class. My dad showed us this potion that stops a person changing in werewolf. Then he started to tell us that it might be able to be used on wolves. I might be able to get Mason back."
"That's great, Alex, but I don't think you should get your hopes up. Might doesn't mean it'll work. You should have a backup plan," said Harper.
"Justin said the same thing so we came up with the transfiguration spell. I mean, We're not sure if that'll work either but it still gives a plan B."
"Don't get your hopes up too high though. I don't want to see you crushed like last time," said Harper.
"I'm going to need your help," said Alex.
"I should've seen that come," said Harper.
"Tomorrow Justin and I are going to Transylvania after school to try to find Mason and Juliette. Can you cover for us?" asked Alex.
"I guess. What do you want me to tell them?" asked Harper.
"Oh, I don't yet. I'll be thinking of that tomorrow during classes. I mean gotta do something to keep my busy," laughed Alex.
"Fine let me know tomorrow. I'm going to bed," said Harper getting up and heading over to the door.
"Thanks Harper I'll see you tomorrow," said Alex bringing the sheets up covering herself.
Harper left the room leaving Alex underneath her covers. She fell asleep with the lights on only to be turned off by her Mrs. Russo who came in and retrieve the lasagna and empty cake plate on the night stand.
