Who else would have reasons enough to attack Bianca?
That was another thing that worried Zane. Emery spoke of some proof that would have Bianca arrested. He had no idea of what he would do to get his girlfriend out of the impending trouble she would face.
"We're here," the limo driver spoke, drawing his attention to his surroundings. They had arrived at the hotel. Just like in London, everyone was going to be in a single suite divided into many rooms. Emery was the exception because she had booked her own hotel suite.
Harry, Bianca and Zane boarded the elevator to reach their hotel suite floor. When Bianca, Zane and Harry entered the hotel room, they noticed that almost everyone was out.
Zane and Harry were infuriated that no one cared enough to stay and wait for them. They had not informed them of their whereabouts. Moreover, Harry and Zane knew that they believed Emery. In fact, they had been avoiding Bianca for the whole day, and that made them more pissed.
"I've had a long day. Can I get you guys a drink?" Bianca asked.
"No, I'll get it--" Harry went to speak.
"It's okay!" Bianca cut off Harry rather quickly. It seemed odd, but Harry did not dwell too much on it. "I want to show you guys how much I appreciate what you guys have done for me."
Bianca shared a smile with the two band members before she got up to head towards the kitchen. She pulled out three glasses, took out some beer from the suite fridge and poured it into the glasses.
Then she poured the two vials of the potion Eva had given her into the drinks that were for Harry and Zane. She took out a spoon, stirring the liquid until the redness dissipated. With a smile, Bianca went to the room and gave the guys their drinks.
She smirked as she sat down with hers, knowing what would ensue. She started drinking the beer, silently observing Harry and Zane. They gulped down their drinks until a small amount was left on each glass. Bianca watched as Zane and Harry's eyes glowed red for a moment before their expressions showed rage.
The spell had taken effect rather quickly, and that pleased Bianca.
You are going to get what you deserve, bitch.
***********************************************************************************************
Emery was in the same hotel but in a different suite, packing up everything that was hers. The past weeks had been hard for her, and so she couldn't wait to leave the tour. She was happy because she knew she would never have to voluntarily see the guys and her cousin again.
Before she went on tour with the boys, Emery had hired a private investigator to search for everything incriminating about Bianca. It was not easy, with it being costly, but things had gone well once Tom Acker had been arrested. The private investigator and the police had everything that could put Bianca in jail. In fact, they had gathered enough evidence to imprison Bianca ever since Charlotte had been arrested. However, Emery had told the private investigator to wait until she would leave. After a long argument, he agreed.
As much as Emery wanted to see Bianca get arrested, her desire to leave was her main priority. The people she once cared about had found out about the evidence. It ruined Emery's plans of exposing Bianca in public and seeing the shocked expressions of everyone finding out the truth. Also, after everything she had gone through, she didn't want to see them again. She doubted she would even forgive them for all the things they had done to her.
Emery sighed when she noticed she had finished packing her bags. She had earlier planned to stay in her hotel suite, but she later decided to go to her house in Crystalia. She would be there for a while before leaving completely.
Just before she teleported, she heard the sound of knocks on her door. With a sigh, Emery dropped her bags and walked towards the dining area of the suite. She opened the door, coming face to faces with Zane and Harry. They looked furious.
"What?" Emery asked with a glare.
Zane pushed her inside the suite. The force of the push shocked Emery. She almost fell, but she managed to stabilize herself.
"What are you doing here?" Emery asked with a glare just as Harry and Zane entered the suite. Harry closed the door and locked it behind them.
"I don't want any trouble with you guys. I'm about to leave so you can save yourselves the trouble of saying whatever you want to tell me."
Zane and Harry's expressions did not waver. Emery's heart thudded as something she refused to feel threatened to enclose her heart.
"You think this is funny?" Zane asked with anger, punching a wall on his right. The wall was concrete, so nothing broke when he punched it. What was surprising was that he didn't even flinch because of the pain. Emery, however, jumped in shock.
"You think that what you did is funny?"
"I don't know what you're talking about," Emery said, walking further into the room to retrieve her laptop. Her thoughts were running wild as she furiously clicked on the device. She had a feeling that Harry and Zane would hit her like they did in high school. She wasn't sure, but just in case they did, she would have to put in on camera.
The laptop wouldn't connect her to the video recording software. With a frustrated sigh, Emery quickly summoned the cameras she had recently bought and stored in her home. She cast an invisibility spell over them just as she walked back into the dining room.
"You know what we're talking about!" Harry shouted.
Emery remained quiet for a while.
"Fine. I know what you're talking about. I did it. I beat Bianca like the bitch she is."
Zane and Harry actually growled once she confessed.
"Is that what you wanted to hear? Please. The bitch had it coming ever since she pulled up her plans eight months ago. You should have known that it would happen. In fact, I even gave her five freaking strikes, and she still went after me!"
"You are going to pay for that," Zane said with a calm voice that brought chills to Emery's form.
"Oh yeah?" Emery asked with a raised eyebrow. "What are you going to do? Hit me like you did in high school?"
"You beat Zane's girlfriend! Of course we are going to beat you like we did in high school!" Harry pointed out.
Emery had gotten her unexpected confession. She could just summon the cameras away and threaten the boys to never come near her again if they didn't want to have their careers destroyed.
She stretched her arm forward, summoning a fireball. Nothing had appeared. She tried again, but it didn't work.
"What?" she asked in disbelief, her heart thudding faster as fear seeped into her veins. She could have sworn that her powers were working just a few seconds ago.
Harry and Zane smirked.
"Oh, you didn't know?" Harry spoke. "After Erick told us about the dream he had about you turning evil, he also told us about the thing that erwiches used in blocking a witch's powers."
Emery's eyes widened in horror. She was angry with Erick for disclosing such a private conversation with the two people in front of her, but she was worried about what they could do to her without her powers working.
"So that means--"
"You can't use magic until we allow you to."
Emery remained silent as the words Harry said ran through her mind. She did not want to seem frightened, but it was getting harder to do so by the second.
"You can't hurt me," she said with a surprisingly clear voice. "I'm a girl."
"No, you're not," Zane said. "You are nothing but an evil bitch, and it is about time that you were taught a lesson."

He charged towards her. Emery's eyes widened in shock before she kicked him in the stomach. Zane doubled over, grunting in pain.
Emery could not believe it. They really were going to beat her up like they did in high school.
Unfortunately, Emery was too shocked by what had happened to notice that Harry had also advanced towards her.
He punched her hard in the head. The blow had her turning her head sideways, almost knocking the consciousness out of Emery.
"Ow!" Emery yelled as she clutched her head while wincing in pain. "Are you seriously going to do this?"
She suddenly felt stupid for even asking. The hit delivered to her head had left her shortly delirious. Emery found her vision slightly losing focus. She couldn't use her fighting skills in her current state, and she suddenly realized that she was doomed.
Zane looked at Harry and they both shared evil smirks as they looked at Emery.
Emery's vision luckily stabilized. She saw the looks Harry and Zane were giving her, and she remembered them; they were the same ones they had given her when they were in high school.
"It will be just like high school. Do you remember this, Emery?" Zane asked, kicking Emery on her stomach without giving her time to defend herself. She howled in pain, doubling over next to the floor. Her hands and knees touched the floor, supporting her from falling flat on the ground.
Then Harry grabbed her by her short hair, forcefully yanking her head upwards. Emery released a pain-filled scream as she felt the harsh pull at her head. Her heart thudded faster if possible, and the pain made her feel awful. She felt each strand pulling as it struggled to hold her scalp.
It had been years since she endured the pain they were giving her, and so feeling it again was frightening.
"Do you remember us beating the shit out of you? We enjoyed it then, and to be honest, we kind of missed it."
"What?" Emery asked, her expression unreadable due to the agony she felt. It was a wonder her strands were not being pulled off. She was, however, proven wrong when she felt a pinch on the back of her head.
She could not believe what Harry had said. She began regretting ever introducing them to Crystalia. If she had not done that, then she would have escaped the pain she was currently feeling. In fact, she could have avoided the mess that her life had become.
Zane kicked Emery in the gut again. Emery shuddered in pain, the feeling of vomiting threatening to overcome her.
"Beg us, Emery," Zane spoke. "Beg us not to hit you."
Emery spat on his face with a glare. She never thought that what they were doing would happen to her again. Even if it did happen, she wasn't going to succumb easily.
That was what she had thought earlier.
"Oh, you shouldn't have done that," Zane said before delivering a blow to her cheek. Emery's head turned, blood oozing into her mouth as she felt something loose in it.
A tooth.
Emery's eyes widened, but she didn't have time to fully react when she was punched again. At the moment, the punch hit her nose. Emery felt the blood rushing on the spot as she felt a painful throb.
Harry released Emery's hair. Emery felt some relief, but that was cut off when she noticed a swinging foot coming towards her head. As a result, Emery was thrown to the ground, the throbbing in her head increased.
Zane stepped over her and grabbed her hair. He began pulling her with it across the floor in the room, her screams ringing through the air. He dragged her halfway across the room, grinning evilly at the screams of agony that Emery released. Some of Emery's hair had been pulled
