us. I turned and she appeared in the hallway. I didn’t know what to do. Gavin was writhing in pain on the floor, and I wasn’t sure how I was going to be able to fight a witch. I didn’t have much experience with them For the most part I tried to avoid them. “I convinced him to help me, don’t hurt him,” I said quickly as I moved toward her. She laughed. “Is that so, then I suppose I could just make your lover pay,” she hissed. Cornelius appeared in the hall next to her. He looked even worse than he had before. She knew she had me. I wouldn’t risk Cornelius’s life. I didn’t understand why she was still torturing him. “Don’t hurt him,” I begged. “I will go back to the room. I will do whatever you want just break the curse on him.” She gave me a cold look. I knew she wasn’t going to do what I asked no matter how much I begged her. “Cornelius, kill them both, then kill yourself,” she ordered him, then she disappeared. I looked at Cornelius horrified. The expression on his face terrified me. He wasn’t my Cornelius. He was a shell, and the only part that remained was the monster.
