Alex found she was being held tightly by Justin, both having a frightened look.

"Mom, you can't be serious." Justin said.

"Oh, I am. I will not have two...fenómenos in my house."

"What did you call me?!" Alex pulled away from Justin, almost lunging at her 'mother'

"Alex!" Justin pulled Alex back. He stared at Teresea with anger flaming in his eyes. "Don't you dare call her that!"

"Well, it's only true." Jerry snapped back. Justin glared at him; he doubted the blond had any idea what the word meant.

"That's enough; just stop it! Stop it!" Max interjected.

"Max, go back to your room." Teresea said, trying to push her youngest out of the room.

"No, no, I can't stand by." Max turned to his siblings. "Guys, I'm on your side."

"WHAT?!" Teresea and Jerry screamed.

"Mom, Dad, you always said you wanted the best for Alex and Justin. This is the best thing for them." Max emphasized.

"What about that one girl, Live?" Jerry countered.

"Live is a--"

"Wakey, wakey, Alex..." A new voice entered.

When Alex woke up, the first thing that entered her mind was the searing heat that erupted from her back. She screamed, trying to run away. But she couldn't, making her scream louder.

When the heat stopped, Alex panted, wanting to cry. Her arms felt tired, and with good reason. Her wrists were in shackles above her head, against a rock. And looking around, she was in a cave, looking, thing. Great... "Hello?!" She called.

"Hello Alex." Jumping and turning to her other side, she saw the smiling Live. "Glad to see you're awake."

"Live..." Alex snapped, glaring at the other 'girl.' If she even was a girl.

Live's smile went from fake warmth to just plain evil. "Surprised?"

"Uh, not really. But if this happened, like, two weeks ago, yeah. We all thought you were a-"

"Wizard? HA!" Live laughed. "Nope. For centuries, I've sucked the life and magic of men. And then," Live began walking forward towards a cauldron that Alex just now noticed, "I heard about a prophecy."

"A prophecy?" Alex cocked her head a little in question. You sure sound like you're centuries old.

"Mm-hmm." Live nodded, not turning to face Alex.

Three children, Rossi be the sur.

Trouble is face where Magic is learned.

Eldest two shall fall in love.

And soon rule all, Earth and Above.

"So after I heard that, I researched the world, looking for you three. When I did see you though, I knew I had to take the chance. He hated you, you hated him, he wasn't lucky with girls and as a bonus, I would have to change." Live laughed, looking at Alex for a moment. "You wouldn't know how hard it is to maintain appearance."

"Wait, so...you mean, this was all suppose to happen. Me and Justin are meant to be?" Alex asked, pulling her shackle-bound wrists as she did.

"Justin and I." Live corrected.

"But, you.." Alex pouted.

Live laughed again. "Wow, you really are dumb." Alex glared, but had no retort. "Well, before he started talking to me, you were. Precisely why you were granted those wishes and given those dreams. Destiny was trying to make the prophecy come true." Live kneeled down, picking up a cup of basil leaves. She took a few and sprinkled them into the cauldron. "Then I stepped and Justin fell head over heels."

"And he still is. So, I don't know where kidnapping me comes into this." Alex started, trying to free herself.

"That's where you're wrong!" Live yelled, turning sharply and dropping the cup. "You just had to go and act on your feelings and kiss him! Now, he loves you!"

"That's impossible! He said it himself, he doesn't love me!" Alex defended, a little scared now.

"Oh, sweet, naive Alexandra. There's a small thing which inside all of us, magical or not, called denial." Live smiled once more, turning back around. "But, no problem. I'll still get his magic."

"How so? He has to 'vow' himself to you." In the shackles, Alex did air-quotes. "And you vow if you don't love that person."

"It's simple, really." Live walked around the cauldron, staring at Alex across from it. Alex all of a sudden felt shivers when she looked into Live's heartless eyes. "I'm getting rid of the competition."

A young Alexandra Carmen Russo died,

Five years ago.

Even if it's a lie,

May the family be filled with woe.
