Early 2037
Rowena Jones was sleeping. She hadn't done much of that lately. Work and potions and her father had taken over her life. Every waking moment revolved around figuring out the mystery surrounding the potion. Sleep had been put on the back burner. So it was relief that Rowena had finally dozed off.
... except surely you weren't supposed to be aware you were sleeping. And as a sudden chill made her shiver, Rowena wondered why she wasn't in bed. Why was she walking towards her potions lab? The young witch started, trying to wake up. And reacted with horror when she realised she couldn't. What was going on?!
Ah. So Sleeping Beauty awakes. You know I thought I'd never get the chance to make you do this. I'm not strong enough to take over while you're concious. Not yet anyway. But once this is in your system everything will be how it should be.
Rowena felt bile rising in her throat. The voice. That horrid creepy dark voice that she had been hearing now and then. She'd attributed it to exhaustion... but exhaustion didn't do this. The young witch felt trapped in her own mind, unable to stop her body as it reached for the damn potion that had slowly ruined her life, and took just two small sips. But that would be enough. Darkness took over her again.
Don't worry Miss Jones. You won't remember any of this. And soon, no one will remember you as you were. But all shall know Miss Holland.
