A/N: Sorry it's shorter than the earlier chapters but I'm running low on ideas. With the stress of school and having to help my friend with her own story, I have less time for my own story. PLEASE REVIEW IF YOU READ THIS STORY! By the way, I am having problems with this story. I am running low on ideas so please e-mail me if you have any ideas.

Saturday…

"So, would you say the date was fantastic or a failure?" asked Annette as the events of last night flashed through her mind.

"It was okay, I guess. Except for the part when we find Manfred and Zelda making out when the lights turned on when the movie ended," answered Rose as she starts to shiver a bit.

"Yeah, that was a disturbing sight. I am so glad that we sat in the middle instead of the back," commented Joni.

"And I'm glad I sat near the front," stated Rose.

"Don't you have to get ready for your date with Asa?" asked Gabby in a teasing voice. It was already 11:45 am and Annette was supposed to meet Asa at the park at noon.

"It's not a date! It is just something like a meeting!" yelled Annette as she started to blush.

"Oh my God! Annette is blushing!" exclaimed Tania shocked to the core.

"I am not!" retorted Annette.

"And I didn't go on a date with Tancred last night," said Rose in a sarcastic tone of voice.

Shut up!" screamed Annette as she picks up a pillow and throws it at Rose who was laughing at the sight of Annette blushing.

"Keep it down in there!" yelled a voice from outside the room. Charlie was actually practicing on the piano for once in his life. They were all in Rose's room or the guest room more like it.

"Well you better get going, Annette or you are going to be late," stated Rose as she opens the door to let her friends out.

"See you guys later," said Annette as she waved at them and started walking towards the park.

When she got there, she found a bench and sat down. Annette starts to glance at her watch every few seconds since it was 12:05 and Asa still wasn't there. After ten more minutes of waiting, Annette decided to leave since Asa wasn't coming.

"Leaving so soon?" asked a familiar voice from behind.

Annette turned around and saw Manfred standing there grinning at himself.

"What do you want?" asked Annette in a voice cold as stone.

"Look into my eyes!" commanded Manfred as his grin started to fade. Annette caught the sight of his eyes and saw pitch-black coals instead of eyes. Annette would of normally tried to read his soul but she fell into a trance and she started feeling dizzy and everything went black. When she opened her eyes, she was sitting on a chair in an empty room. Suddenly, Manfred comes in with a notepad in his hands.

"Who is Rose? Is she really endowed?" asked Manfred.

"Rose is one of my friends. No, she is not endowed," answered Annette in a voice unlike her own.

"How did she tricked my dad and the Yewbeams sisters?" asked Manfred.

"She's a witch so she used her spells to make them look like her own power like an endowment," replied Annette.

"She's a WITCH?" exclaimed Manfred surprised.

Suddenly, there was a knock on the door. Asa walks in and absorbs the scene in front of him.

"Are you done with her?" asked Asa.

"No! But you better take her back. I think I got enough information for one day. Get more familiar with Annette. Then start asking her questions about herself and her friends. Then report to me," ordered Manfred as he leaves the room.

Asa takes Annette to the park and sets her on the bench she sat on earlier. Then he waited for a couple of minutes until she finally opened her eyes and the colors of her eyes were restored.

"Where am I?" asked Annette as she starts to stand up.

"You…uh…you fell asleep waiting for me. Sorry I was late. There were some problems at my house so I had to stay there longer then I expected. Do you want to go home?" asked Asa.

"I really think I should. I'm beginning to feel all dizzy again," said Annette as she starts walking in a clumsy way. So Asa walked with Annette until they reached her house.

"So…I guess we'll just have to wait till we go to school to talk about it," said Annette as she turns around and opened her front door and went in. She sat down and looked out the window to see Asa one more time.

Annette thought Asa went home but she was still dealing with her dizziness so she didn't think that much about it since she saw Asa walking the road towards the Bloors Academy.

Asa was walking to Manfred's office when he noticed it was empty. There was a note on Manfred's desk stating if anyone was looking for Manfred then they should go into his great grandfather's room seeing Manfred talking in an excited way.

"We can use Rose's talent to help us. You said she was a witch right? Well maybe I can use her knowledge of spells to my advantage. She can actually help me with my experiments. See what information you guys can find out about the girls. Then report to me and I'll see what I can use their powers for," stated Manfred's great grandfather.

"I know one thing about one of the girls. Her name's Annette and is a seer," informed Asa who actually felt sad when he said it.

"You didn't tell me that!" exclaimed Manfred as his face tenses up. Is Asa okay? I mean he tells me everything. He better never double cross me. But this is Asa. (A/N: Italics are thought of the character that talks)

"Well it's good to know. We don't need her though since one of the Yewbeams is a medium," stated Manfred's great grandfather.

"Can't wait till I find out more about these girls. I mean who would of thought, one of them is a witch. It's true that I thought she was hiding something but I never would of thought of that," said Manfred after they were back in his office.

Asa wasn't really paying attention to Manfred. Asa was thinking that he shouldn't of tricked Annette to come to the park.

This assignment wasn't different from my previous ones.

True but still. This girl was a complete stranger.

Like you haven't done anything similar earlier.

"Asa! Are you even listening me?" shouted Manfred.

"What, you said something?" asked Asa who was deep in thought.

"For get it! I'm writing it down anyway. I'll show you later. Now, get out and go home!" exclaimed Manfred as he pushed Asa out the door and slmmed it shut. Asa started walking towards his house.

Maybe I should stop listening to Manfred.

But Manfred is your best friend.

He treats me like a slave.

Why are you complaining now?

Because I'm getting tired of it!

Stop lying! I am you so I know it's because you like that Annette chick.

"Shut up!" screamed Asa so the voice in his head would stop. People around him started staring at him. Feeling embarrassed, Asa starts running not really realizing where he is running.

"Hey, you! Why are you out here? It's really late and you shouldn't be out here!" shrieked a voice from behind. Asa recognizes that voice from somewhere so he turns around.

"Hey, I know you. Aren't you that Asa dude? Yeah you are," stated Tania as she starts to recognize Asa.

"What's your name?" asked Asa since he has seen her but doesn't really know her.

"My name's Tania. I go to your school, duh! But it is late, why are you out here?" asked Tania clearly confused.

"Um…I was on my way to uh…my house and got side tracked," answered Asa in a nervous voice.

"You lie! Ooh you lie," shrieked Gabby who ran up to tem out of nowhere.

"What! I did not lie!" exclaimed Asa although his voice doesn't seem to agree with what's he saying.

"Where did you come from, Gabby?" asked Tania.

"Um…I…don't…know," answered Gabby in a confused voice. While Gabby was thinking hard, Asa was having problems with his mind too.

Tell them what you did to their friend.

Why should I?

Because…it's the right thing to do

Just because it's the right thing to do, doesn't mean I have to do it.

Well…you could try to at least.

"Asa, is there something wrong? You seem all…less Asaish. SPEAK!" screeched Gabby as she starts poking him.

"STOP POKING ME!" yelled Asa as he starts to run away. He would of made a clean get away if Joni hadn't tripped him by accident.

"My bad. Are you okay?" asked Joni as she helps Asa stand up.

"Thanks. Names Joni, right? Where are you guys coming from? I just met Tania who seems really slow and some crazy girl who wouldn't stop screaming," said Asa.

"You must mean Gabby. We just came back from the Pets' Café. We stayed there longer then we expected. So, when did you date with Annette end?" asked Joni.

"IT WAS NOT A DATE!" Asa yelled.

"Okay, okay. You don't have to yell," replied Joni.

"I'm sorry. It didn't even begin. She uh fell asleep waiting for me. I had some problems at home," said Asa.

"Hi ya Asa!" exclaimed Rose walking up to them.

"Hi, well I guess I should go. See ya," stated Asa as he turns around and walked to his home.

"That's strange," murmured Rose as she starts to think.

"What's strange?" asked Tania with Gabby and Reanna behind her.

"Asa's hiding something from us. I noticed it when he was explaining to Joni," answered Rose.

"Asa's hiding what from us?" asked Reanna.

"I don't know but he lied when he said Annette fell asleep waiting for him. Annette wait long enough to fall asleep," answered Rose.

"Maybe you're just being paranoid," replied Tania.

"Iam not being paranoid. But there's something about his eyes," stated Rose.

"Of course there's something about his eyes. He turns into a beast so you would expect yellow wolfish eyes," informed Joni.

"Besides that! I'll see you guys at school," said Rose so everyone went home.
