Thankyou for le reviews on the last chapter 8D I'm kind of on a fanfic streak now so you get two chapters in a row ;D Now, we shall find out if Evra breaks the spell. But first, Evra shall do my disclaimer because he hasn't done it yet. Sorry for forgetting you, Evra-kun! D;

Evra: SL-nee-sama doesn't own me, The Saga of Darren Shan or any of it's characters.

SL: Good boy. Here's a cookie.

Evra searched frantically through Xan's belongings. He was looking for something, anything, that would help him break her spell on Daryl. But all he found was a whole lot of underwear (He was resisting the urge to take one of Daryl's bras).

But then he saw it. Underneath a pile of panties that he guessed were Xan's was...

"The Big Book of Witchcraft?" He laughed. "How cheesy!"

He looked up love potions. Sure enough, there was the one that Xan must have used. But underneath it in fine print, it said: 'Beware! If the maiden is kissed by a handsome prince at midnight, the spell will be broken!'

"Double cheesy." He murmured.

Evra figured that it didn't have to be a handsome prince to kiss the maiden i.e. Daryl. A drop-dead gorgeous snakeboy i.e. him, would probably do. So he smiled to himself and muttered, "I'm going to kiss Daryl." before getting the hell out of Xan's tent before she returned.

Darren watched Xan silently as she grinned at him and wiggled her tail. He liked Xan but was he in love with her? He felt like he was being forced to love her, if that made sense. His mind was saying I'm so in love! She's the one! But his heart was saying something else.

"You ready to go?"

"Uh, oh, yeah."

Darren glanced back at the Cirque du Freak. He wished Evra could come along with them, then it would be less awkward. But he knew deep down that it was a date, Evra couldn't come. So he sighed and followed Xan into the night.

Evra secretly followed Daryl and Xan around like an animal stalking it's prey. He wasn't very good at snooping so he was surprised that the half-vampire with super-awesome hearing and the I-never-miss-anything witch hadn't turned around yet. But they hadn't, and it was almost midnight.

That must be what Xan's planning, Evra thought. She's keeping her out until midnight just in case I figured out how to break the spell. But how will I get to Daryl in time? Xan's watching her like a hawk.

Evra didn't have to think about it for too long. Daryl had said something to Xan and now she was walking towards him. She bent down to the bush he was hiding in and whispered,

"Hi, Evra."

Evra laughed awkwardly. "I guess you caught me."

Daryl shushed him. "Xan doesn't know you're here. Now, why are you here?"

"It's Xan. That water she gave you – it was some kind of love potion." Evra explained. "I'm here to break the spell."

Daryl seemed taken aback for a moment."I thought she might've done something like that. Now, how are you going to break this spell?"

Evra was about to answer but his eyes fell to his watch. It was midnight! In one quick motion he stood up, placed his hands on Daryl's shoulders and gave her a smooch that was longer than necessary.

Xan came rushing over.

"No!" She cried dramatically.

"Yes." Evra smirked.

"Xan," Daryl growled. "You put a love spell on me!"

"I-I'm sorry," Xan stammered. "Please don't be mad!"

Daryl rolled her eyes. "Just don't do anything like this again."

"I wont." Xan said but she had her finger's crossed behind her back.
