Chapter 74: Dark Threats

A coldness seeped over me. "Alexis?" I took a step toward her, reaching out to touch her and try to break whatever trance she was in.

She blinked at me and I swore someone was looking out of her eyes at me. Then her chin fell down on her chest and a second later, her head snapped back up. "Whoa, did someone spike the punch? How did I get over here?"

Lightly I touched her arm. "Hey, are you okay?"

"I guess, except I can't remember leaving the stall. Did I do anything weird 'cause you're looking at me like I have a huge zit." She pushed past me to glance in the mirror.

"Someone took over your body and said nasty things." Dark mages... had to be.

Her eyes widened. "You sure it wasn't just someone playing a prank?"

"Is there a protection spell or something you can do until we find out who did this?" And I already knew why, they wanted me to release their magic. Not going to happen.

Alexis clasped my hand. "Um, yeah. Thanks for letting me know."
