The suivant jour was Wednesday, which meant they met with Ms. Winters again. "I'm kind of scared!" Emma whined. Mellissa and Eve rolled their eyes. “Come on, Emma!" Eve threw back her head. "Fine." Emma replied back.

When it was time, Ms. Winters pulled them inside the classroom. "We're going to learn your abilities. Eve, toi first. Think bats." Ms. Winters said. Eve got up and closed her eyes. Fangs shot out of mouth and her once small human frame morphed into a bat. "Squeeeeeak! Squeeeaaaak!" Eve tried to say.

"Nice job, Miss Dipalo.Now Mellissa. If toi don't already know, toi have super strength, super hearing, and super smell." First, Mellissa practiced her hearing. "Lillian says Julie’s ponytail is holding up her face." Mellissa giggled. "And where do toi think this information is coming from?" Ms. Winters asked, trying to suppress laughter herself. "The gym. I know because I hear kickball too. Some girls who don't want to play hide in 'The Gossip Corner'." Mellissa said. "Now for smell." Ms. Winters remarked. Mellissa sniffed. Then a snuff. Then another sniff. "Bring your lunches tomorrow; it's their 'meat loaf' again! It tastes terrible, one time a girl who ate it had to go to the hospital!" Mellissa cringed. "Wow, then I'll be sure to steer clear of it then. Pick up the table, tableau with one hand." Ms. Winters commanded. "What?!" Mellissa exclaimed. "On a full moon toi can do it better though." Ms. Winters said.

After everyone tried their powers, and they all worked, Ms. Winters pointed to the lockets. "Wish. Those lockets can grant ten wishes. When they run out, a wizard, me, can add them back. To make a wish, gather in a close circle. Only one of toi can make a wish at a time. toi HAVE to be together to make wishes." Ms. Winters said.

They gathered in a cercle and once again the lockets rose. "Now, don't panic, especially Eve and Mellissa. toi will turn into your true selves." Ms. Winters said. But it was too late for Eve. Fangs came out, her body shrank and her clothes and lockets disappeared. "It's okay; you'll be shifting into a bat at aléatoire times all the time. I personally don't know, because I'm not a vampire, but I know vampires who say it’s hard being a vampire." Ms. Winters explained. Eve shifted back after a minute, and the red light resumed. "Sorry" Eve apologized.

"That was so fun!" Emma a dit closing the door to Ms. Winter’s classroom. "And to think I was scared!" Emma exclaimed. Eve slapped her forehead. "I wonder why she wants us to tell our parents we have an after school event tomorrow.” Mellissa said. "Yeah..." Emma replied dreamily.
