ONE DROP IS ALL IT TAKES

Bexy's point of view:

I can't believe Liam was actually convinced and brought me up to his room without the other guardians knowing, he even grabbed two glasses from the kitchen for us.

"He cheated on me," I sob while seated on Liam's white silky bed— facing him. "I thought he was the one you know. I loved him" I burst into tears

"I'll get you a drink," he suggests as he gets up

"No!" I shout

"Huh..." He looks back down at me

"I uh...I'll get it. Don't worry," I get up and walk past him.

"Are you sure...?" He asks while sitting down

"Yeah," I grab the bottle of the red wine on the white, small desk by the corner of his room. I pour the wine into the glasses, I grab the cups and give him his one as I sit back on my place.

"Resi," I say in Meldish as we clink our glasses together

"Cheers," he responds. He takes up the cup and drinks.

I bring the cup close to my lips. "I have to go to the room,"

"Oh sure,"

I get up, leave the drink on the desk, enter the bathroom and close the door. I wait in here for a minute thinking of my next move. I walk out holding my MiPhone from Tesnore in its designer pouch from Irene vogue city.

"I'm sorry, I have to go. Athena is not feeling well, Aliyona said she's just vomiting." I claim

"Oh, okay then come on," he gets up

"Aren't you going to check if there's anyone first?" I ask

"It doesn't matter, we are family," he says as he drops his cup of wine on the desk next to my cup

"Is it working already...?"

"Should I bring you your cup of wine?" He grabs my wine

"No it's okay, you can have it all. I'm so stressed I probably won't even drink it at home."

I try to be "the innocent heartbroken girl"

"Oh," he puts back the wine. " Let's go," he grabs my hand and escorts me.

"Liam!" Someone calls as we are walking to exit at the front door

"Stupid Clyden..."

"What is it!?" Liam asks as Clyden runs to us

"Where are you going, I've been looking for you," he claims.

"Why?" Liam asks

"Well, I wanted to check up on you-"

"Just say you don't trust me," I cut him and Clyden looks at me in the eyes for a moment.

"Yes, I don't," he confirms with no fear in his eyes.

"Who does this guy think he is? I just defeated your master. If only you kne…,"

"Hey man, don't talk to a lady like that," Liam stands up for me

"A lady? Say what…" Clyden looks at Liam with a shocked but disgusted facial expression.

" Come on bro, what have you been drinking?"

Clyden makes my blood boil sometimes, he's just as annoying as Alina. "Liam, I'll see you later," I turn around but deep down I just want to see what he's going to do.

"will he come after me?"

"Sure Bexy, let's go, Liam," Clyden says

"Sorry, I have to escort her," Liam comes to hold my hand as we walk together leaving Clyden behind with curiosity.

Reseda's point of view:

At the moment we're busy playing battle games on the TV. It's me against Tecno, no one has ever won against Tecno, I mean like…who can defeat the king of technology?

"Yes!" Tecno jumps with excitement as he is Victorious—again.

Clyden comes walking into the living room looking lost in his thoughts.

"Hey man, are you okay?" Max asks and all of us are looking at him with concern.

"Something's not right," he says as he comes to sit next to Cari in the third row

"What happened?" I put the game controller aside

"Liam, he... something has happened to him, he has changed!" he says

"What happened to my brother?" Max asks with concern.

"He brought Bexy inside, he was so caring and even insisted to escort her out, he was so…no him," he looks at all of us.

"That's so not like him," Teva comments

"Maybe he was just being kind," Cari suggests

"If this is not a prank, then she did something to my brother," Max furiously gets up to walk out of the room.

"Wait! " Alina stops him as he is about to walk past her.

"We have to think this through. Was he alright when you left him outside with her?" Alina clarifies.

"Yes, he was fine; I don't know how he ended up bringing her in," Tecno responds

"Bexy is not strong enough to attack him, something must've happened when they were insi-"

"Guardians," Harley calls us from the entrance, " the headmistress is looking for you, you should come with me immediately."

We all look at each other and back at Harley before going with him to the headmistress.

Harmony's point of view:

"I wonder what has gotten into Liam, by the things he used to tell me about her, I never thought he'd actually...did he take my advice and finally decided to be with her?"

"You're here, where's Liam?" the headmistress looks around us

"He uh..."

"He escorted Bexy out," Alina helps Clyden out

"Oh, okay then. I have some bad news…" she rests her hands on the desk.

"What's going on?" Reseda anxiously asks.

"The barrier between the WITCHES and the Elfadians is slowly fading away, someone has set them free," She announces

"What!" Cari shouts, "how!"

I'm speechless.

"I have no idea; I think it has something to do with the stolen keys, someone, somehow stole the Helaphim and gave it to the Menace, somehow. Because only the Helaphim can break the boundary between the Elfadians and the Witches; only the Menace can travel to the underworld." She points out.

"And the Menace can't enter the building without the sensors picking up their dark energies," Clyden says

"Or without us picking up their energies," Reseda adds

"Exactly," says the headmistress

"I believe whatever it is, it has a connection with Liam's situation as well; somehow," Max says

"What do you mean Liam's situation?" The headmistress asks with suspicion

"Liam is acting weird today, I think he has fallen in love with Bexy and it's freaking me out; when we left him with her he was his normal self," Clyden explains

"In love?... Are you sure?..." the headmistress suspiciously

"Yes, I don't see any other way to think of it," Clyden respond s

She sits back on her chair, "If this is true, It can only be...the strongest love potion of all."

"A love potion!?" Teva asks in shock

"Was she seriously that desperate?" Clyden says

"That is just way off!" Reseda says

"Oh Liam, what did she do to you" I look down, tears start to form, then Alina puts her arm around me, I guess she can see right through me.

"How do we know if he is really under a spell," Michael asks

"His room. If she came inside she must've done something to him inside, we must go and search for the dark energy," Max says

"You can not sense a love potion's energy; it's impossible, But..." The headmistress says

"But?..." Teva asks

"I'll see what I can do to find out what's wrong with him," she assures, "at the moment I'm going to need five of you to venture out to help the Elfadians defeat and send the witches back into the underworld."

"Do you think we will make it back before Harmony leaves for Musiana?" Cari asks

"I'm sure, if there will be no complications," the headmistress replies

***

Zelda's point of view:

"Get the red dragon ready he must delay them, the longer this battle lasts, the longer it will take for them to return and help them in Musiana." I say to havoc, Raven, Runo, Cain and Cyber

"Right away," Cyber responds and they all go depart

"Ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha" I evilly laugh

"Who is laughing now, Liam?" I say with an evil smirk
