Alex POV
I entered Conner’s bathroom laboratory and found him mixing his usual Alchemical concoctions. He looked surprised to see me in his space.
“I swear I haven’t done anything,” he said quickly.
“I know,” I said coldly, examining the contents of his lab.
“Okay...why are you here?” he asked suspiciously.
I found what I was looking for, or more accurately; I found what was missing. On one of Conner’s shelves was a row of vials filled with purple liquid, with one missing in the middle.
“Loren came to you, didn’t she?” I asked, but it was more of a statement, “What exactly did you put in her head.”
Conner sighed and put down his equipment.
“Yeah, she was here, it’s not a crime to speak to a fellow mage is it?” he said defensively.
“It is if you manipulated them towards Dark Magic,” I said threateningly, towering over my shorter cousin.
