Rose wakes up the next day and got up. She was out of her dormitory and in the breakfast line in a matter of minutes. Dave walks up next to her and said, "Good morning."

"Hi. So, have you seen any girls you like lately?" teased Rose. She paid for her food and left to find a table. None of her friends were up yet. Dave followed and sat next to her.

"Maybe. Why do you care?" asked Dave giving Rose his cute suspicious face.

"Cause it'll be pay back time. In the e-mail, your always teasing me about me liking Tancred," answered Rose as she starts eating her food.

"Are you guys dating?" asked Dave as he starts eating his food.

"Yes, why? Besides it's not like you have feelings for me, right?" asked Rose in a joking voice. Dave laughs in a nervous kind of way.

"Yeah. Well, does he have to deal with your mood swings?" asked Dave trying to cover up his nervous kind of way. The truth is, I still like you, thought Dave. Rose ends up hitting him for his last comment when Tancred shows up with Lysander and Gabby.

"Hi!" screamed Gabby when she got to the table. Tancred sits on the right side of Rose while Dave is on the left.

"I was wondering if I can talk to you alone later today. It's important. Well that's the bell. See ya!" exclaimed Tancred as he gets up and leave.

"What was that about?" asked Gabby when she walking with Rose to her next class.

"I don't know. Besides, is there something going on between you and Lysander?" asked Rose when she sees Lysander waving at Gabby before he went into his classroom.

"Maybe. Well here's my class. See you later at lunch," replied Gabby as she went into her classroom. She turns a corner and comes face to face with Manfred.

"Shouldn't you be in class?" asked Manfred giving Rose the evil eye.

"Shouldn't you be bugging someone else? Besides, your in my way to my history class," Rose retorted. Manfred starts staring at her. Little does she know, he's hypnotizing her. Everything in her mind went black. She starts to fall into a trance. Manfred has complete control over her.

"Now, Rose. You are going to class like normal but later you will meet me. Don't trust anyone except I people I tell you," commanded Manfred. Rose nods and heads to her class. None of her friends were in that class so no one notices her sad face. Her face was emotionless and lost it's color.

"Rose? Is that you?" asked a voice from behind.

"Who are you?" Rose asked after she turns around to face the person behind her.

"You're kidding right? It's me Dave," answered the boy. Rose just stares at him and walks away leaving Dave there confused and confuzzled. Dave decides to talk to Rose's friends since the next class is lunch. He was heading in the direction of the lunchroom when he notices Manfred talking to Rose in a corner. Doesn't Rose hate that guy? Why is she talking to him, thought Dave. He decided to use a spell to become invisible (remember: he went to magic school before) and walked over to hear their conversation.

"Don't talk or trust anyone except me. You're going to be on our side now," stated Manfred as he heads to the table he usually sits at with Rose behind him. Dave went over and talked to Lianna.

"What's going on with Rose? Her eyes are so blank and doesn't she hate Manfred? Why is she hanging out with him?" asked Dave as more questions were threatening to pour out.

"What? Slow down. I can see that. Except Rose doesn't seem like herself. Hey, Charlie. Do you have any idea what's going on with Rose?" asked Lianna when Charlie sat down. He stares at Rose and noticed Rose was acting like someone he knew. Wasn't someone acting like her earlier before, thought Charlie. Then it suddenly clicked! Emma was the one who was acting like that before!

"Charlie? What's wrong? You look pale," asked a voice that turned out to be Emma who seemed worried.

"Remember when you were hypnotized by Manfred? Well, it seems Manfred hypnotized my cousin Rose…I'm worried they have something planned for her…" stated Charlie getting worried as he quickly glances at Rose whose face was pale and colorless.

"Where's Tancred?" asked Lysander when he sits down next to Gabby.

"Wasn't he with you?" asked Charlie.

"No. He was right behind me when we were leaving our art class," replied Lysander.

"He's making something for Rose. He hasn't seen her since this morning so he doesn't know about Rose being hypnotized," informed Annette when she appeared out of nowhere.

"Don't you guys remember? She's a clairvoyant," stated Joni when she sees the shocked faces.

"Oh yeah…well do you know what they have planned for her?" asked Charlie going into older cousin mode. (Like a big brother worried over his little sister)

"This is only a guess. I think they are going to use to her 'endowment' to their advantage. I don't know how or what they are going to use it for. I mean for all we know, they don't know Rose's real endowment. Unless…" replied Annette when she suddenly spots Asa gesturing for her to come over. The lunch bell rung so Asa was waiting for Annette outside the lunchroom doors. Annette was walking towards him.

Meanwhile, Charlie and Rose's friends were thinking. "There's got to be some way to get Rose back. When we woke Emma up, we used an invention. But it's long gone now. What can we do? Any suggestions?" asked Charlie.

"Maybe…I think I have an idea. But I should ask Tania first," answered Joni. Lianna, Gabby and Reanna grinned.

"Are you thinking what I'm thinking?" asked Reanna in an excited voice. The three girls nodded leaving Charlie and his friends confused.

"I'll ask Tania and we'll see from there…we'll meet each other during our free time where we can go outside," stated Joni as they all agreed and left for their classes.

Back to Annette. Annette was walking towards Asa but spotted Tancred walking towards Rose so she went over to Tancred. I can't let Tancred find out what happened to Rose, thought Annette.

"Hey, Tancred. Why weren't you at lunch?" asked Annette stalling Tancred long enough for Rose to walk past them.

"I was…making something for Rose," replied Tancred blushing a bit. He pulled a necklace with a little phoenix with a tear drop in the middlefrom his pocket and showed it to Annette. "What do you think? Is Rose going to like it?" asked Tancred.

"Of course she is. But why are you giving it to her? Maybe you should save it for her Christmas present," suggested Annette.

"I was going to ask her to…never mind. We're going to be late," stated Tancred walking away. Someone taps Annette's shoulder and Annette screams. She turns around and sees Asa.

"Sorry. You scared me," apologized Annette.

"Oh. I just wanted to tell you…I…uh…I'm on your side. I also want to tell you, Manfred knows Rose is a witch," informed Asa. Annette was shocked.

"So my worst fears are coming true. What do they want with her?" asked Annette.

"They haven't told me yet. But it might have something to do with Borlath (A/N: I think that's his name. I'm not sure so if it is not, tell me) since Manfred's great grandfather was obsessed with reviving him," answered Asa.

"Thanks for telling em. By the way, did you just say you're on our side?" asked Annette.

"Yep! I'll stay undercover and tell you what's going on. We shouldn't be seen together so I'll meet you in the ruins at midnight" replied Asa as he walked away. Annette is relieved that Asa has finally seen the light. She walks to her next class with a smile on her face.

A/N: Has Asa really seen the light? Maybe…maybe not. Please review.
