After Eleanor gave Allison the idea of using her powers to spy on the meeting, Eleanor quickly looked outside her bedroom door to make sure nobody was around to listen into what they were going to do. The only person who seemed to be around was Alec who just came out of his room and looked directly at Eleanor. She didn't have time to close the door before he was in front of her, giving her a concerned look, causing her to sigh and open the door slightly for him but placed a hand on his chest before he had a chance to come into the room.
"Alec, if you come into this, you have to promise not to say anything."
"I promise."
"Do I have your vow of silence?"
Alec looked at his mate with a look of confusion for a moment before he understood what she was trying to get out of him; he rolled his eyes before replying. "You have my vow of silence."
Eleanor gave Alec a slight nod before allowing him into her bedroom, checking the hallway one last time before locking the door behind him and turning back to the scene in her bedroom that had been placed on pause. Licking her lips, Eleanor spoke up as she walked back towards her best friend. "Allie, can you get into the meeting?"
"I can try," Allison sat down cross legged on the floor, her eyes closed as she focused on someone to take over. She settled on one of the bodyguards and her eyelids quickly opened but instead of seeing her usual dark red eyes, they were completely white, like her eyes rolled back inside her skull.
"Okay, she's in. Write down everything in the notebook."
"Can she hear or see us?"
Eleanor shook her head. "She's inside someone else's head, it's like she's not here, like she's asleep. Physically, she's here but mentally, she's gone."
"How does she come back?"
"When she can't handle it anymore or the job is done or if she's forced out of the head of the person she's possessing. We need to be careful, though, we don't want to strain her because if she uses it for too long, she'll become really weak."
Eleanor cocked her head to one side as she observed her best friend in the zone, keeping a close eye on how she looked physically in case she showed any signs of weakening. Allison started whispering words quickly, like she was trying to read a book in seconds and wrote words down in the notebook so fast the pencil she was using almost snapped.
"Okay, now that's really creepy. Can't you just tell her to stop since she's really freaking me out?" Alec asked, his eyes fixed on Allison's furious scribblings as he sat down on the floor in front of her.
Eleanor glared at Alec for a moment before looking back at Allison. "Are you crazy? She's getting to the juicy stuff now, we can't just stop her. At least, not yet, I mean, she's finally getting to the point of things and the things she's writing down are kind of making sense."
Just as Alec was about to answer, Allison came back with a wide smile on her face and promptly lay back on the carpet, staring up at the ceiling. "That was fucking awesome! I was right there! The old bastards didn't even realize I was there, it was perfect."
Eleanor moved across the room towards her best friend, forcing herself to smile as she picked up the pieces of paper Allison had used during her possession. "Well, that's a good thing they didn't notice you. But, you should go feed – it's been a while since you've possessed someone for that long, we don't want you to have another episode."
Allison sat up and gave her best friend a gentle hug before slowly making her way out of the room to feed, knowing full well how bad her last episode was and it scared Eleanor to the point where she banned Allison from using her powers for a whole month, just until she knew Allison was truly okay.
The episode in question was Allison possessing random people on the streets and make them do random things – something that always made Eleanor laugh. Only problem was Allison did it for too long and got a nosebleed before she started to have a seizure; Eleanor had to shake Allison violently in order to get out of the possession and get Allison back. Not something they wanted to repeat ever again but it was on the minds of both girls, warning them not to get too cocky with their powers.
Once Allison left the room, Alec and Eleanor moved to the desk to try to figure out what Allison was trying to tell them through her scribblings. It took a while, but they inevitably got there but then it brought more questions than answers, at least on Alec's end.
"The book contains a number of spells and curses but it also includes and recipe for making an elixir to make a vampire human again – we have to at least try it, this is what Allie wants." Eleanor was practically shaking with excitement as she jumped out of the chair, looking over the sheets over and over again to make sure she wasn't hallucinating.
Alec's eyes followed Eleanor but still looked confused about the whole thing. "How are we even gonna get our hands on the book? Let alone try out the recipe."
"Simple, we wait for it to be put into the library."
"That's gonna take at least a few weeks, and guards will be protecting it since it'll probably be placed into the restricted section. You really haven't thought this through, Ellie."
"Oh babe, you seriously underestimate the power of a teenage girl in a short skirt."
"I still don't get how all this is going to work."
Eleanor sighed, placing her hands on her hips as she narrowed her eyes. "Look, if you're not going to be giving intelligent inputs to this conversation, you can get the fuck out of here. Just trust me on this; I know what I'm doing. I'm a high school cheerleader, for crying out loud, flirting is practically in my job description," Eleanor's eyes softened a little, a small smile playing on her lips as she snaked an arm around Alec's shoulders while the other rested on the side of his face, gently caressing his cheek. "But don't worry, hot stuff, you're the only guy I want to flirt with," she almost whispered before pressing his lips to hers in a gentle kiss.
Author's Note:First time updating this story after turning 19 – this is really weird, tbh. I don't like it; I wanna go back to being 17, it was a good age to be. But anyways, I hope you liked this chapter and I finally got to show Allison's power (which is pretty badass if I do say so myself) and I might use it more in future chapters – haven't decided yet but I probably will.
I've also started a new Alec fanfic; it's called Parade and if you like this story, you'll probably like Parade. It's basically about a girl who's possessed by an evil spirit who ends up falling in love with Alec and all hell breaks loose. It's pretty awesome, if I do say so myself. Think Enchantress from Suicide Squad invades Twilight; that's basically the story.
Until next time;
Lorna.
