After the class is over Alice started wrapping up her stuff. She closed her textbook and pen lid when Ethan asked her "Hey Alice. So how was your first class?”
Alice said excitedly "It was cool. Mr. Maxine is a cool teacher, unlike my day school literature teacher."
"Yup. Mr. Maxine is quite cool. You should consider continuing the online class." Ethan suggested
"Are you convincing me to leave day school and be here as a permanent student?" Alice asked with a doubt
"Maybe," Ethan said sheepishly
"hmmm...That sounds interesting but I dunno. When will I meet Emily?" Alice said thinking about Emily
"Babes…what are weekends for? To meet friends, shopping, chilling out, parties."
Alice raised her brow.
"What? Isn’t it what you all girls do?" Ethan asked innocently
" Hey don’t blame it on girls alone. Even boys do the same shit and don’t tell me you don’t party and meet friends on weekend." Alice

As Alice passed out on the table, Chloe and Devina looked at each other. Devina: Chloe, can you please put this piece of trash in her room. Chloe: Really? and who do you think you are to order me like this? Devina: Hey. I wanted to test the potion and it worked. Now the least you can do to thank me is put her in her room. Chloe : Devina it was your idea to test the potion on her and moreover who told you to experiment it here? Devina sighed and said "Chloe there is no point in arguing. We have to get her to the room before Sandra sees her and suspects us. Chloe: You are right. Give me a hand. Let us put her in the basement room. Both Devina and Chloe lifted Alice and dragged her to her room and then pushed her inside and closed the door. As they were returning to their respective rooms in the hallway they met Sandra. Sandra looked at them and gritted her teeth. Trying to remain emotionless Sandra asked them "May I know where we
A confused Ethan stayed outside the house looking at Alice running hurriedly. Ethan was still trying to process what has happened. He closed his eyes tried to recall what has happened before. As he closed his eyes he saw the glimpse where his eyes emitted red light and he heard voices crying for help and an ancient castle. He quickly opened his eyes and looked at the house again and then quickly headed towards his home. Alice silently walked towards her room making sure no one sees her. As she entered her room she had a sigh of relief. She then heard someone opening her room's door. As the door opened Sandra entered the room and looked at Alice. "You are still not on your bed Alice?" Sandra enquired "I was about to. Just was revising today's lesson." Alice answered. Sandra looked at the room and suddenly her gaze went on Alice's room's mirror where Alice has placed a sheer scarf. Sandra mostly tries to witness Alice's activities via the mirror but for
Ethan sighed and then both sat on a nearby lying piece of log. Ethan narrated his story "Alice since my birth I am experiencing strange behavior. I could smell and hear till miles, my speed and strength are unbeatable and I could survive without food only on juice for months. I have asked my Mom multiple times about it but she has told me she will explain everything when I will turn 17. I didn't mean to scare or harm you but I myself don't know why I am like this. Also, the reason I opted for night class is that I get heatstroke as soon as I go out in sunlight. I feel somehow I am cursed." Saying so Ethan took his palm on his face. Alice looked at Ethan and saw his helpless face. She touched his hands and removed his palm from the face and said "Ethan I trust you. I can understand what you are feeling. my life is also not so easy. For few days I am also experiencing certain strange things...Like I just realized that silver hurts me. I haven't experienced it before. Also some
Note: This chapter uses conversational style narration. The next morning Devina entered the kitchen yawning. She hasn’t woken up fully. She was furious to found no one in the kitchen. She hurriedly went to Alice’s room and banged on the door. Alice who has slept late last night opened the door with her eyes close. As she opened the door she was shocked to see Devina who was fuming with anger. Devina looked at Alice angrily and said “ Alice why are you not in the kitchen. Sophie will get late for school” “I-I am sorry Aunt De…” “Don’t waste the time here with your fake apology. Go to the kitchen and make breakfast and pack Sophie’s lunch” “Yes”. Alice bowed her head and headed towards the kitchen. Devina then walked upstairs and knocked on Sophie’s room door. After 3-4 knocks Sophie opened the door. “Sophie, you are not ready yet? You will get late for school. Hurry up.” Devina cried Sophi
As Devina and Chloe went into their respective rooms, Sandra came out in the living room. She peeped into the kitchen and saw Alice washing the dishes. She went to Alice and asked ‘Alice did you sleep well yesterday?’. Alice got shocked by the sudden question but politely answered ‘Yes grandma, I slept well. let me pour you some coffee and serve you the breakfast.” Sandra nodded and while Alice was pouring coffee Sandra asked about Chloe and Devina. Alice answered that they have finished the breakfast and are in their rooms. Sandra stood up from the dining table and headed towards Devins’s room and banged the door. Chloe( Devina’s body) opened the door and the color on her face faded when she saw Sandra. “Good morning Mom.” Chloe greeted Sandra. Sandra looked at Devina and said "cut the crap, Devina. I have made some rules. During breakfast, we all should eat together. What are you doing here? Come downstairs.” Sandra ordered. Devina nodded. Sandra then went to Chloe’s room
The day was quite long for Sandra who was waiting for tomorrow to find if Alice is the heir of the Celestial kingdom. Meanwhile, Chloe and Devina were mostly hiding in their room waiting for 24 hours to get over. they do not want anyone to find out about their soul exchange. Alice was in her room thinking about her secret magical powers and her true identity. she also meanwhile researched for the golden book and was wondering where it could be. In the afternoon when the clock strikes 3 pm Sandra went into her room and locked the door from inside, she then opened her cupboard and pushed all clothes on one side kept in the cupboard. There was a trigger at the back of the clothes. Sandra pushed that trigger and a secret door got opened from inside of the closet. Sandra went inside the cupboard door and then after few steps, there were stairs that lead to the basement. She went into the basement. it was dark and you cannot see anything. Sandra looked at one of the corners which
Finally, the day has arrived, a day that is slowly gonna turn into full moon night. It is afternoon. Sandra is in her room waiting for the right time. Chloe came into the kitchen searching for food. Alice is wiping the dishes and putting it into the drawers. Seeing Alice in the kitchen Chloe asked, "Alice please order a pizza for me and Devina." Alice nodded. "What flavor of pizza you want to have?" Alice asked "Order Hawaiian Pizza for me and Pepperoni for Devina" Chloe instructed. Alice bow her head and went into her room and opened the laptop. She went to the pizza ordering site and tried ordering but got an error saying " The server is in maintenance mode please order by connecting with our virtual assistant" Alice opened the virtual assistant chat window and typed " Hi, I would like to order 2 large pizzas " As the virtual Assistant started typing Alice put her hands on her head "Certainly Mam.

Sandra reached the cave at the exact time. Lahkesis, Atropos, and Clotho are sitting surrounding a square box. Sandra asked, “What is this box for?” Atropos replied “We will have to place the ring in the middle and we will read some verses which will connect the ring to its owner. The ring will fly and take us to the ring owner.” Sandra “Ok and why do you have a headband placed next to it. If I am not mistaken it is Alice’s headband" Atropos got shocked with sudden question. She tried answering but fumbles. Lahkesis then reverted “This is to check if Alice is the owner of the ring. We needed Alice’s belonging so we are using this headband.’ “Why do I sense something fishy. You better not be playing games with me.” Sandra said in an evil tone “Witch do you want us to perform ritual or not?” Lahkesis said in an annoyed tone. Sandra suddenly changed her tone and said "I was joking. Let us start the ritual.”
