Chapter 3

"Lisa??" Michael asked when he saw who was at the door.

"That's my name." She said, sarcastically. Lisa was beautiful as always. But she looked drastically different. She wore black eyeliner and dark lipstick. Her hair was straight and dyed black. Michael invited her in.

"Your hair. Why did you--"

"I was just trying a new look. That's all."

"Oh." Michael said. "Any reason why you're here?"

Lisa sat on the couch. "What? I can't visit you? You don't hate me that much, do you?"

Michael laughed. "Of course not."

"I just wanted to see how you've been. I heard about all that happened with Jeff and Whyan."

Michael nodded. "Yeah," He said acwardly. He sat down next to Lisa on the couch. Honestly, the last thing he needed was Lisa Marie coming over. That was because he knew exactly what she wanted.

"You still love me, right?"

Lisa looked at Michael and froze.

"Am I right? I mean, that is the real reason why you're here."

Lisa smiled. "No, not at all."

Michael's eyes narrowed and a smirk grew on his face. He knew better.

"I just wanted to check up on you." Lisa said. "But, for fear that you might fall for me again, I can leave."

Michael was confused. He looked into Lisa's eyes and saw Sharon. Even thought he was out of her love spell, he still can remember what he felt. What he had with Lisa Marie was nothing like it was with Sharon.

"No, you don't have to leave." Michael finally said.

After they talked for a while, Lisa soon had to leave. Before she went out the door, she said, "Michael, I know what you're trying to do. I advise you to stop. It's not for people like you."

Her eyes were looking straight at Michael's. She was serious. Dead serious. Michael sat back down on the couch with Sharon's magic book after Lisa had left.

"Why can't I escape you, Sharon?" Michael whispered, gazing at the book. Michael wanted to move beyond Sharon's love, but he was trapped. Despite what he thought, he was trapped in Sharon's spell forever.

The next morning, Michael tried again to start the day off right. He tried again to start the day off right. He went down to his dance studio to practice.� Hopefully, nothing goes wrong this time. Michael thought. He blasted "Invincible", the song, through the speakers and danced to it. Once he really started to feel the music, the CD stopped. But Michael didn't stop dancing until the CD strangely started playing again. But this time, it was playing backwards. It seemed as if Michael's vocals in the song were extremely deep and were speaking a different language. But as Michael listened more closely, he could make out some of the words.

"The Darkworld..."
"...Night's beauty..."
"...death and evil..."

"Stop it!!!!" Michael screamed. "Just leave me alone!" He stormed out of the studio in frustration.

His heartbeat was racing again with fear. He was tired of it. He was sure it was Sharon doing this to him. She want to have him, even if she needed to do it with her mind and powers. It wasn't going to happen. Michael went to the phone and dialed Lisa's number.

"Hi Michael." Lisa said.

"Lisa," Michael said. "Tell me that you love me."
