-Liz-

I giggled as I watched Gray walk back to his place after he dropped me off back at mine and Erin's apartment. Once he was out of sight, I turned and headed inside. I noticed the lights were all off and that Erin wasn't home.
"Odd."
I said aloud to myself before kicking off my shoes and heading to my room for a shower.

-Erin-

On my way back to mine and Liz's place I couldn't stop thinking about what Loke said to me.

*Flashback*

He was holding me in his arms sitting beside the big tree in Magnolia Park. My head rested on his chest and I was listening to his heartbeat.

"What do I do?"

I asked. Loke tightened his grip around my waist, but he didn't say anything.

Since he told me of Draco's hidden power I felt torn. The ability to take a spirit and give him or her human lives. The ability to give humans the power, place, and immortality of a spirit. I sat up and looked Loke in the eyes.

"I have to think about this. I can't just leave this world."

I said. Loke looked like he wanted so badly to say something but didn't, so with that I stood and started my walk home.

*end flashback*

I opened the door to our apartment, I knew Liz was home thanks to the lights and sound of running water from the shower. I went directly to my room and shut the door behind me.

-Liz-

I heard Erin shut her door after her and frowned. She normally never shut her door unless she was upset. I stepped out of the shower and dried off before pulling on a pair of light gray boy shorts held up by a blue ribbon and a green tanktop. Once I had run the brush through my hair I started to braid it as I walked out of the bathroom, through my room and over to Erin's. I knocked three times to let her know it was me before walking in and shutting the door behind me.

She was sitting on her bed by the headboard with her knees pulled up to her chest and a far away, thoughtful expression on her face. I noticed she was playing with the Angel wing pendant on her necklace and knew whatever she was thinking about was serious.
"Hey E, you wanna talk?"
I asked as I stepped away from the door and stopped inches away from the edge of her bed, waiting for her permission before I sat down or not.

-Erin-

I heard Liz's voice, but I didn't catch many words. I was in my own world.

"E?"

Her voice calling my nickname broke my concentration. I looked up at her worried face. In that instant I saw my whole life. I've been on my own since I was a child, misunderstood by so many, but Liz never left my side. I owed her my life because without her, my anger problem would've gotten the best of me and it would've lead to something bad. Imagining a life without my best-friend wasn't possible and now I had to chose between her and the man I loved.

"Why are you laughing all of a sudden?"

I heard her ask. I heard my own laughter then and didn't bother to stop. Before I could speak another voice stole my words.

"Because Loke isn't a man."

Draco was leaned up against the far wall behind Liz, who turned on her heel shocked at the sudden appearance of the Key Maker.

"What? Someone explain to me what's happening."

Liz said looking from first Draco then Erin trying to figure out why her friend had gone from all deep in thought to sudden laughter.

-Draco-

I was happy Loke had found me when he did. Erin had to know and Loke wouldn't tell her, I didn't exactly know why he wouldn't all this drama would've been avoided if he did.

"Loke decided to share one of my secrets with her and then failed to explain to her fully what it meant."

I said to Liz to calm her best I could.

"Secret?"

She asked.

"Zodiac Transformation. This ability allows the spirit to take the place of a human and said human to take the role of said spirit."

I walked to Erin's side and knelt down, resting my hand on her shoulder.

"Loke wasn't asking you to become a spirit, but for your permission."

It was Erin's turn to look confused.

"My permission for what?"

She asked and I saw Liz sit on the end of the bed as they both waited for my answer. Erin held my gaze. I sighed and looked at my hand.

"Your permission..."

I looked at her.

"to become human."

Kiteria: Short, I know but get over it.

Erin: Do you really think it wise to speak to the readers like that?

Kiteria: Do I look like I care? I'm tired of so many people reading or looking at the chapters me or the people I co-write with but not leaving an effin review!

Erin: Damn, clam down. *shakes head at fellow authoress*

Kiteria: *Blinks a few times with a frown on her face* Did...Did you just say clam down?

Erin: ...No. *Looks in opposite direction making friend smile.*

Kiteria: You did! Hahaha, you said clam down! Haha-ah! *Suddenly gets attacked by friend*

Erin: I did not! *Looks up from friend who is pinned to the floor laughing like the insane person she is.* Review while I take care of this one.

Kiteria: You said clam! Hahaha

Erin: *Sigh* Review please... *pulls duct tape out of nowhere and a rope* C'mere you.
