GhostVirtuvirus: Yeah, I thought so. I needed something for everyone to do while Katrina was distracted. And, yeah, it's gonna get messy.
SliversLittleAngel: Well, I'll be going into detail about that.
New character warning.

"That's not our only problem," Edgar said as he walked up to the group.
The messenger's eyes widened. "Y-Your Majesty! I, I didn't know you were here."
"Of course we were," another voice said. "We go wherever our sister goes."
"What?" Everyone asked.
The cat looked up at them. "Why don't we go inside? It's more comfortable." He then looked at the messenger. "You can leave."
Everyone followed the cat into Miss Bloodcraven's room.
"Why did he call you 'Your Highness?'" Mantha asked.
"And where did the voice come from?" Ra asked.
"You mean me?" the voice said. "Try the locket around Edgar's neck. I've been stuck in here for almost eighteen years."
"I thought you didn't want to get noticed, Ali," Edgar said.
"DON'T CALL ME THAT!"
"Umm..."
"That's Alison," Edgar explained. "She's Katrina's twin sister. Oh, and I'm there younger brother."
"How did that happen?" Casper asked.
"Well, remember the civil war I mentioned a little while ago? It happened during that. You see, we're all members of the Dark Witch's Clannhead familiy. The Clannhead is our king, I guess," Edgar explained.
"The war was close to being over, but a team of Light Witches entered our family estate. Katrina was stuck protecting our uncle, the Clannhead, leaving the two of us to fend for ourselves," Alison continued.
"That's when we were attacked. Instead of killing us, the warlock cursed us. Katrina found a way to undo the spell, but there's one problem- undoing the spell requires light magic. In other words, a Light Witch, an angel, et cetera."
"Umm... Edgar?" Alison asked.
"Yeah?"
"I lost contact with Katrina."
"What do you mean?" Fatch asked.
"Witch twins are psychiclly linked," Edgar explained. "The curse keeps Ali from using the full extent of this, but they can at least talk. The only way to fix the connection and be able to figure out where Katrina is would be to free Ali. But that much light magic... it would kill any of us if we tried to use the spell."
"I could do it," Fatch suggested. "I brought back Viviana using a spell like that."
Edgar was about to protest, but then Alison whispered "He;s a member of the Ramirez family. He has angelic powers. He'll be fine." Edgar nodded. "I'd suggest we get started, then. Katrina has a lot of enemies. Who knows what could be going on?"
A few minutes later, they'd searched Miss Bloodcraven's classroom for her notebook. Not a spell notebook like her students had, a regular leather-bound notebook Alison said she used for developing new spells. Fatch opened it. "Uh, where's the spell we're looking for?"
The notebook was filled with random sketches and calculations, words and notes thrown all over the pages. A few pages were in order- her finished spells.
"Check about halfway through," Edgar said.
"It should stand out," Alison added.
They were right. About halfway through the notebook was a spell, circled, highlighted, written in big block letters. Below it was a diagram. He was supposed to draw it place the locket in the center and his hands on the outside.
"Sa clave. Destrave a alma. Libere o espĂrito atrapado dentro."
The diagram exploded in light. Fatch screamed as all that purity and goodness coursed through his body into the spell. Edgar raced towards him. He wasn't certain it was a good idea, and he wanted to stop the spell before anyone got hurt. Instead, he got pulled into the spell as well.
The light faded. Alison and Edgar were free, and they- along with Fatch- were passed out on the floor.
Bella- who had been watching the entire thing with Casper, Thatch, Ra, and Mantha- ran over to the three. "Let's get them to bed," she suggested. "We'll deal with everything when they wake up."
Everyone decided to go to bed and deal with the issue in the morning, especially since it was the weekend and none of them had school. Mantha agreed to help Bella find a place in the girls' dorm.
"Mantha?" the teen asked while they were getting ready for bed.
"Yeah?"
"Is there something special about Fatch? I get the feeling he's important somehow."
Strange. Bella couldn't remember anything, but she- partly- recognized the importance of the Ramirez family. "He's the future ruler of the Underworld."
"Oh. No wonder I figured he was my master."
"What do you mean?"
She looked at Mantha, slightly confused. "Huh?"
