(Ok, I have a bowl of ice cream, a picture of Klarion, and an idea for a new chapter, so I'm ready. Oh, by the way, I just realized the Avengers thing, even though I've seen it twice. Loki killed 80 people in two days, but sadly, Eliza only killed, what? 79 in a couple months? But just wait, there's a plot twist coming, and you will see it in this chapter! Maybe… yeah, most likely. I type these author notes out, then start the chapters when I finish them, which is why the last chapter had stuff about school problems, it was started before I graduated Jr. High, and I finished the chapter a day or two ago. Why couldn't I work on it over the beginning of summer? Three words. Color guard Practice. What is color guard? It's also called a flag team or drill team, and no matter how easy it looks, it is not. ANYWAYS… what was I talking about before I went completely off topic? Oh right, plot twist in this chapter, have fun. But first, onto thanking.

Thanks to:

shells210: for reviewing, favoriting, and following. It means a lot to see those, although, with my horrible updating habits, it's probably best that you aren't waiting on the next chapter, nice to know you care about the story though.

lolmak: for reviewing and following. And yeah, thanks for reminding me about Loki and the whole 80 in two days thing. I completely forgot about that, but you also have to remember, Eliza doesn't have a staff thingy that combusts or vaporizes things in a millisecond, that would make everything too easy. And I feel it would make her a Mary Sue. So yeah, 79 in a couple months, pretty good, because that's over one a day.

Girloveswaffles5: for reviewing, and yeah, felt that 80 would be too high of a death count for her, she's only one witch. Nice to know you like the story.

By the way, sorry if I miss anyone. If you wouldn't like me to mention you, just tell me in a PM or review. And sorry to the people who I forgot to mention on the last chapter, I forgot to update the thanks section. So…

Onto the chapter!)

When Eliza finally woke up, she realized she had absolutely no clue where she was or how she got there. The portal… someone must have pulled me out of the portal… she thought. Then she remembered, Nabu, Klarion's teasing, falling out of the portal and hitting her head on the floor. She noticed she was trapped… in a bubble. A shimmering, sparkling, pretty little bubble.

"Now this is just demeaning." She shot fire at the bubble to see if it would release her. It wasn't budging.

"You really think you can use the power I gave you to break my own magic?" Eliza heard. She looked towards the voice. A girl in a black dress, stockings, and boots stood there. She had a hood up, which shadowed her face, although Eliza saw white eyes reflecting the light. In short, Eliza saw herself. And Eliza knew it wasn't her.

"Ryiah." She said.

"The one and only." Ryiah smirked.

"I find that ironic when you're borrowing my form." Eliza said.

"You agreed to it, I get to shape shift to you permanently, you stop being the only little witch in your dimension who doesn't have magic." Ryiah said. Eliza scowled at her. "I'd say it was pretty fair, I heard you were friends with a Lord of Chaos? Do you think he would even look at a girl without magic? You have me to thank for more than you know."

"Klarion would still be my best friend, even if I lost my magic now." Eliza said, though her voice trembled.

"Silly, delusional, little girl. You really trust him?" Ryiah said. Eliza glared more.

"Why did you bring me here? You got what you wanted, I got what I wanted. And that deal happened when I was five, why can't you leave me alone?" Eliza said.

"Simple, I've gotten in a bit of trouble here. You are going to take my place. As you can see…" Ryiah gestured to the room around them. Eliza noticed it was filled with shelves that had glass jars sitting on them. In the jars were hearts. Still beating, human, hearts. "I was a little busy gathering some things that humans like to keep. And they now have something that could neutralize my power. I don't want to be caught, so I'm turning you in instead."

"Why did you collect the hearts?" Eliza asked. She wasn't fazed much by the hearts, she'd seen worse, but she was curious as to their purpose. There were so many, all with a label that had a name and a date. Some of them went back a decade ago, when Ryiah had first taken on Eliza's form. These were from distant countries though, it looked like she started in the east and worked her way west. There had to be thousands now. They lined the tall walls throughout the huge room and covered it completely.

"They get a good price where I come from. All the humans that end up there are heartless, so I have been collecting these ever since the 17th century, when I was just a little demon. Take on a new form every twenty years so I don't get caught. Make shipments back every ten years." Ryiah said.

"So you are going to turn me in then move again so you can continue killing without making another bargain for a new form?" Eliza said.

"Looks like you've gotten smarter." Ryiah said.

"How are you going to get me to the justice league? If you went there, they'd arrest you too." Eliza said. Ryiah sneered.

"I took more than just your form." She said. A white cat with black stripes walked in proudly and sat down at Ryiah's feet. Now Eliza was freaked out.

"Hexe?" she choked out.

"Sorry Eliza, a cat's got to do what a cat's got to do." Hexe said. It seemed Ryiah could hear it too. She smirked at Eliza.

"Funny how friends can turn on you, isn't it?" Ryiah said.

"How?" Eliza said.

"I heard about Ryiah's plan, didn't feel like getting locked up, and she offered some pretty good bonuses. It's nothing personal, just business." Hexe said.

"Then what about Teekl? What are you going to do about her?" Eliza said.

"Teekl… Teekl will be fine. I don't need her, I can have whatever I want now." Hexe said, though it didn't seem like he truly believed it. "Just… tell her I said goodbye."

"Hexe, I have a better idea." Ryiah said. She left the room, and came back in a few seconds later holding a cage. Inside was an orange cat meowing and biting at the cage.

"Teekl?" Hexe asked. She looked at him.

"Hexe! Help!" Teekl yelled. Eliza was surprised that she could hear Teekl in her head. She had never been able to before. Ryiah set the cage down, Hexe ran over to it.

"Ryiah, can you let her out? I'm sure she'd help to." He said.

"Help what? Hexe, what's going on? Why is Eliza trapped in a pretty bubble?" Teekl meowed. Teekl looked at Ryiah. She was confused for a moment, but then realized something. "Ryiah… heart stealer. Ryiah the heart stealer. Why are you Eliza? Don't you usually pick humans?" Ryiah smiled.

"Couldn't find a human who was willing to give away their full permanent form, I can't just copy people randomly." Ryiah said, then the smile disappeared. "Stupid sorcerers thought they could stop me from killing by making me get permission to copy people."

"I'm starting to like sorcerers." Teekl said. Ryiah glared at her.

"Sorry Hexe, don't think your mate will be willing to join." She said. Hexe pawed at the cage.

"Please Teekl?" he said. Teekl glared. Hexe stepped away from the cage.

"I'd rather be stuck in a sparkly bubble like Eliza." Teekl said.

"It's not as fun as you think." Eliza said.

"Well get used to it, the only way you're getting out of that bubble is when you take my place in jail." Ryiah said. She turned Hexe into his human form. A swirling red portal appeared behind them, and out stepped a boy.

"Not so fast, Ryiah,"

(And so the chapter is finished. What did you guys think? Good? Bad? Great? Horrible? Want to throw me into a pit of cobras and scorpions and watch me die slowly? Yeah, yeah, I'm evil. I made Hexe one of the bad guys. But you'd be surprised. And the ending? Rushed. I have to go soon. But I'll be gone for a couple weeks so I decided to give you guys this. Remember, PM or review, tell me what you think.

May the waffle be with you.)
