The elixir took another two full months to complete due to the entire book being written in Italian and used words that were hard to understand – even for Alec – and mentioned things that everyone was sure that didn't exist anymore, the book was that old. Once it had finally been completed, the trio decided to place all the books they had used back before they tried it, seemed like a logical idea at the time.

"You slept with him, didn't you?" Allison raised her eyebrow up as she was placing books back into their correct places.

Eleanor's eyes almost popped out of her skull as she heard her best friend's voice speak through the silence. "What? I never said that, nor did I say anything."

Allison sighed, rolling her eyes as she turned to look at her best friend. "You don't need to say, we've been best friends practically since the day we were born – we have the sister thing."

"Allie, stop it, we need to focus."

"You did! I knew it!"

"Keep your voice down! And I never said anything."

"You changed the subject and when you usually do that, you're trying to find a way out of the situation which usually involves you being guilty of something you're not telling me."

"Alright, fine, we did, happy now?"

"Yes, I knew it! Tell me, was he better than Nova?"

"By a long shot. Nova only lasted like five seconds then that was it – boring. Alec and I kind of went on for like two hours."

"Damn, looks like you were both the horny teenagers I always knew you were."

"I hate you."

"Love you too, dipshit."

The pair continued their quiet laughter until they were finished with placing the books back, and quickly made their way back towards their room where Alec would be waiting for them.

Arriving back in their room, Allison quickly locked their door and followed after Eleanor towards the table in the middle of the room, one that had nothing but the elixir which had been kept in a small shot like glass.

The three of them didn't say anything as they stared at the dark blue glass in front of them. After all the months of preparing and keeping a secret, they'd been over this scenario over a hundred times but now that the moment was now upon them, no amount of preparation could truly prepare them for it.

"How do we know it worked?" Eleanor spoke up, her arm reaching out to pick up the glass and held it as she looked between the glass and her mate.

"I suppose we try it," Alec shrugged his shoulders, his eyes not moving from the glass now in Eleanor's hand.

"Who's gonna be dumb enough to go first?"

Allison didn't say a word before she snatched the glass from Eleanor and downed the disgusting concoction, throwing the glass on the floor after doing so, smashing it into pieces as she gagged on the concoction. "Holy shit, that was strong," she muttered to herself, a drunken grin on her face before she collapsed to the floor.

Author's Note: [Epic speaking voice] Will the elixir work? Will Alec and Eleanor go on another date? Will Aro notice their plans?
