CHAPTER 7

The next day at breakfest, Alex studied Syreni. She would act kind to Theresa and Jerry but glare at Max. Syreni was defintly bad news. "Alright," Theresa said. "Time for school. Syreni you'll be shadowing Morgan today."

Syreni nodded. "Where is Morgan?" Justin asked looking around.

"In her room," Syreni said. "I'll go get her." Syreni took off towards Morgan's room. Once Syreni was inside Morgan's room, Alex ran over to Max.

"You have to keep an eye on Morgan today." Alex said.

"I already do." Max said pulling his backpack over his shoulder.

"Yah, but not really. Sit withg her at lunch and stuff. I'm worried about her." Alex said.

"That's a first." Max said. "You actually care about someone."

"It was going to happen someday." Alex said.

"OK, I'll watch her." Max said. After the words came out of his mouth, Morgan and Syreni emerged from Morgan's room.

"Morning, everybody." Morgan said. Max walked up to Morgan and gave her a hug, while looking over her shoulder and sticking his tongue at Syreni.

"OK, everyone to school." Jerry said shooing them out the door.


Once ariving at school, everyone went seperate ways. Max went to first hour English while Syrenia and Morgan went to first hour Algebra.

Although Max wasn't able to watch Morgan in first hour, he could in second hour. Walking into History, he sat down nest to Morgan. "Hey." He said smiling at her.

"Hey." Morgan said smiling back. Out of all the Russos, she had grown closest to Max.

"Hi." Syreni said rudly.

"Oh, you, hey." Max said.

Syreni scoffed. Morgan took no notice of her weird behavior. Finally their teacher walked in and class began. Max had third hour with Morgan, as well as fourth. Soon it was lunch. When Max entered the cafateria, he got his lunch then looked around for Morgan. She was sitting with Bella and her other friends. Max took a deep breath and approached her.

"Hey, Morgan." Max said.

"Hey, Max." Morgan said. "Want to sit with us?"

"Sure." Max said. He sat in-between Syrenia and Morgan, hoping to annoy Syreni. Morgan never took notice, she just stole one of Max's fries.

"So, Max." Bella said staring at him dreamily. "What's up."

"The sky." Max said.

"Hahaha your so funny." Syreni said sarcastically. A beep went off.

"What is that?" Taylor asked.

"My phone," Max said pulling it out of his backpocket. He had accidently sat on it. It was a touchscreen and he had accidently pressed the camara button. He was about to press exit when he noticed something. He focused the camara on Syreni, only Syreni didn't show up. A black mist did. It had eyes and a mouth, but was made of black mist. When Max put the camara down, it was Syreni. Max pulled up his phone camara and focused it on Morgan. It was just plain Morgan. Max turned it back to Syreni. A black mist monster.

Max put the phone in his pocket. He smiled at Syreni like nothing had happened. She only glared at him.


When Max got home, he pulled Alex into the lair and told her what happened at lunch. "I knew it!" She exclaimed. "She really isn't Syreni."

"Yep, but now we need to figure out what she actually is." Max said.

"So you've figured it out." A voice called. Syreni emerged into the lair.

"Syreni." Alex said. "If that is actually your name."

"It's not." Syreni said. "But in a second, you guys won't even care."

"What?" Max asked.

Syreni walked closer. "You guys are right. I'm not Syreni." she said. "I'm much, much worse. With a flick of my finger, you'll forget everything. You won't remember any of this right now, even." She smirked.

"Oblivisci." Syreni whispered.

Alex blinked. "How'd I get in here?" She asked.

"You came to grab a book to study spells." Syreni said.

"Oh yah. " Alex said grabbing a book and walking off.

Syreni glanced at Max. "Sorry, didn't work." Max said smirking.

"What?" Syreni asked.

"It didn't work. Look, I don't know who you are, Syreni, or whatever your name is, but this ends here." Max said. "I'm going to get proof and show Morgan."

"Oblivisci. Oblivisci. Oblivisci!" Syreni yelled at Max, but to no avail. "Why doesn't it work?"

"Don't know, don't really care." Max said. "Your going down."

Max walked out of the lair.
