Chapter 6
Emily's POV
I woke up hearing faint footsteps, and a door creaking open. Even though it wasn't my door opening, I still ambled out of bed with worry. What if Melvin broke into the castle to attack Michelle? This thought made me want to run into Michelle's room to make sure she was okay, but if there really was an intruder in the castle, then I really couldn't do that. Therefore, I slowly got out of bed, and crept out of my bedroom, finding myself walking through the hallway on my toes. I looked around the hallway to check on everyone. Everyone's doors were shut, but just to be safe, I poked my head inside Michelle's room. She was sound asleep. I was about to breathe a sigh of relief, when I noticed Kiki's door was opened a crack. I continued to tiptoe through the hallway, until I reached Kiki's room. I pushed the door open to find Melvin inching his way towards the sleeping Kiki, wand in hand, with Ian standing by the window, holding his sword.
Michelle's POV
I was getting up to use the bathroom, when I saw Emily walking around. I thought she was sleepwalking, so I followed her through the hallway to wake her up.
"Emily," I whispered, shaking her. "You're sleepwalking. Wake up." Then I saw her eyes were wide open.
"I'm not sleepwalking," she responded, as she was staring into Kiki's room. "Go get Serena. Now. Hurry." I ran into Serena's room, and shook her awake.
"Michelle, are you okay?" Serena asked, rubbing her eyes. "Is something wrong?"
"Emily told me to come get you," I told her. "I don't know why, but she's standing outside of Kiki's room." Serena became more alert, as I led her down the hallway, back to Emily. Serena floated inside Kiki's room, and Emily and I looked inside to see what was happening.
"Avada Kedavra..." Melvin softly chanted, aiming his wand at Kiki.
"Expelliarmus!" Serena exclaimed, pointing her wand at Melvin to disarm him.
Emily's POV
"What's going on?" Kiki asked, waking up in alarm.
"Tell me, Melvin, why would you stoop so low as to try to kill a young sorceress?" Serena demanded, glaring at Melvin, who just stood there, barely clutching his wand.
"The time bomb I planted is so powerful, that you need two magical people to defuse it," Melvin answered, glaring back at Serena. "I know Kiki can use magic as well as you, Serena, so I need to get rid of her, so you can't defuse the bomb. Avada Kedavra!" He pointed his wand at Kiki again.
"Expelliarmus!" Serena exclaimed again, still pointing her wand at Melvin, disarming him again. "You're not killing Kiki, so get out of here!" Serena zapped Melvin and Ian, making them disappear.
