I had to sleep. The last thing I wanted to do.

Mildred had explained to me that in order for her to know the full extent of the curse I had to show her. Explaining would do no good she had said. I led her to the bedroom Chale and I shared. Mildred went and sat on the couch and I went to the bed, after an hour of just laying there Mildred decided to give me a 'Sleeping pill'. I don't know why, but I didn't entirely believe the pill was for me to sleep.

The pill kicked in fast and before I knew it I was drowning in the darkness.

As Penelope drifted off to sleep Mildred rose from her seat on the couch to walk over to Penelope's sleeping form. Mildred's hand skated across Penelope's forehead. A faint glow traveled with her hand as she moved it.

Slowly Penelope started to move as if a corpse awakening for the first time in centuries and then all at once.

Springing from the bed Penelope got in a defensive stance towards Mildred who was calmly standing beside the bed carefully watching.

"Witch." Penelope spoke venomously.

Seeming unfazed Mildred spoke. "What is your purpose demon."

Cocking her head to the side she sneered a reply. "I'm already bowing down to one witch. i don't need another."

"Who controls you?" From the tone in Mildred's voice she wanted answers.

"Now, why would I tell you."

Light flickered in her fingertips and a frown took over her features. Mildred flicked her wrist toward Penelope. As if struck by an invisible force Penelope's body was knocked into the wall behind her. The veins in her arms popped out as she tried to move.

"If you hurt this body my pain wont compare to the pain this girl will feel once she awakens!" Penelope spoke in outrage.

"Oh, I don't plan to hurt you physically, No, not at all." Mildred's lips twitched into a smile.

Chale's P.O.V

I heard a thud from upstairs. Hudson had to physically restrain me from going upstairs and seeing if Penelope was okay. The witch wanted complete privacy when I went to follow them to the bedroom. I tried to explain to her that I had already dealt with Pen in the states shes in but the darn witch wouldn't here any of it .

"Hudson i'm not freaking playing around. We don't even know this witch, she could be trying to kill my mate right now!" I practically shouted after i heard the noise from upstairs.

"I'm not playing around either, Chale. As your beta I'm supposed to protect you, even if that's from yourself."

"Your over reacting."

"No, your over reacting." I scowled.

I tried at the restraints again. No luck.

I heard another crash from upstairs. Then Penelope's cry.

"Chale! Help me!"

I would swear my heart split in half.
