Charlie woke up the next morning excited at what the day had in store for him. He still didn't know what Olivia had wanted but he supposed that he would figure that out at break. Neither of them had even said anything to anyone else about the notes that they had received. They didn't even speak to eachother about it. But up in the girl's dormitry Olivia was feeling the same way as Charlie as they both rushed to breakfast.

Olivia was in the ruin before Charlie and she went to a spot where Charlie would see her when he came into the ruin. She was about to sit down on a stone when somebody grabbed her. She knew immediatly the it was not Charlie as these hands were rough and harsh. She turned around and looked up into the face of Manfred Bloor and her eyes streched wide with fear. She tried to scream for some kind of help even if it were only a first year. Manfred covered her mouth before any sound came out and shoved something down her throat. She suddenly couldn't move a muscle in her body. It was a trap and Charlie was going to fall right into it.

Charlie and Fidelio walked outside five minutes late because of an extended music lesson. Fidelio walked over to join Gabriel and Billy leaving Charlie to go to the ruin. Charlie snuck along the shaows of the walls for he wasn't supposed to be here.

As he stepped into the remains of the old castle and he was surrounded by the crumbled walls, he suddenly wondered why Olivia would choose this place to meet him. He didn't see her so he started to pace. But as he turned his back he noticed another shadow and he spun around. He was expecting to see Olivia was was shocked to see Manfred instead. But as he took a better look he saw that he was carrying Olivia roughly around by the arm.

"Get your hands off her you piece of shit!" Charlie screamed and realized that Olivia wasn't even fighting back like she usually did. Charlie became furious. "What have you done to her?!"

"She paralyzed. It is only temporary but if you don't want to see her get hurt over and over again you'll tell me who is creating the illusions! I can kill her with the power i have."

"What do you mean?" Charlie choked out.

"I can electrocute her ten times worse than i did you. With you it was only to scare you and show you what we could do. Now do you really that bone? To see her get killed right in front of you?"

Charlie looked at him horrified. how could that pain get any worse? Possible solutions ran through his mind but he could think of only one that could work. He shook his head slowly as he said quietly, "Fine, I'll tell you but only if you promise to let her go as soon as I tell you." Even though she was paralyzed it didn't stop the horror from coming to her eyes and Charlie felt like shit for scaring her like this.

"Ok, I promis to let her go if you tell me and I won't hurt her again," Manfred waved his hand boredly.

Charlie took a deep breath and whispered, "It's me. I'm the illusionist. I created the alligator that day and i created everything else. It's was my secret weapon. Nobody else knows who it is."

Amazingly, Manfred believed him. "Perfect. I'll tell my father and we'll just see what happens to you after he hears about this." He dropped Olivia on the floor and she landed with a soft thud. He walked out of the ruin victorious.

Charlie ran to Olivia's side and found that she was already coming out of paralyzation and he heaved a huge sigh of relief.

"Charlie," she whipered as she looke up at him."Why did you say that it was you?"

"What else could I do? What if he killed you?" he took a painful breath. "I'd probably kill myself. I couldn't live with myself if I knew that I brought that on you."

"But what will happen now if they think that it's you? Will they kill you?"

Charlie shrugged and said,"Pass the news on to Emma and then she can tell Tanctred and Lysander. I'll tell everyone else. Then after that we can only wait to see what happens. Ill try to make some sort of plan to help us out."

Olivia nodded and looked at her watch. "We have two minutes. We should probably go."

"Can you walk?" Charlie asked her anxiously watching her closely as she nodded and groaned as she started to get up. "Let me help you." She accepted his offer with gratitude and he picked her up and walked her to the doors. After that point she seemed fine.

Charlie went to find Billy, Gabriel, and Fidelio and found them in the coatroom. He told them everything and they all gasped wondering what they were going to do. "We wait," Charlie said with some new authority about him. "It's all we can do for now."

As Charlie walked into the dining hall, Dr. Bloor gave him a glare. Charlie looked defiantly back. He had a plan by now but it wasn't very good and he could possibly be killed but he didn't care as long as everyone else was safe. Dr. Bloor looked away with a grim smile on his face.

It was already halfway through dinner when Dr. Bloor finaly made his move. He stood up walked to the end of the platform. All eyes turned twoard him curiously. What was he doing? There were no new kids at the school, no kids missing from the school, and nothing had happened to any of the teachers. So what was this about? Only Charlie and his friends knew and they all looked unhappy about this.

Dr. Bloor cleared his throat and said, "As you know, there have been illusions created by a student in this school in the past, scaring everyone out of their wits and what not. But I'm sure your wondering who created these illusions. Could it be one of your best friends? No. We have finaly caught this student and he is here tonight!" all eyes looked around the dining hall looking for someone who it could be. "CHARLIE BONE!" his harsh voice boomed. "STAND UP!"
