Phoebe and Shadow unpacked their bags and put their things away. They both laid down to take a nap. it was a tiring journey for both. Shadow was especially tired since the Changeling was having its way with her. Phoebe noted that Shadow\u2019s fur was thickening more and Shadow looked a bit like a lion. Within minutes of laying down, the girls fell asleep.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Suzie put her things away and headed to the kitchen to start dinner. She headed to the pantry to see what she could whip up in a short time. She decided on spaghetti. She opened the door to the large pantry and saw that it had been well-stocked. They had food for at least four months before they would have to get more, she thought. She began looking for spaghetti sauce and pasta, She found them after she looked around awhile Next, she headed to the walk-in freezer and grabbed some ground beef, She found the pots and pans and placed a pan on the stove to brown the meat. She found another pan and put the pasta sauce in it to heat it up. \u201cA salad would be nice also,\u201d she said allowed. \u201cThat would be,\u201d said Peter coming up from behind her which startled her. \u201cDon\u2019t do that,\u201d she yelled. \u201cHow can I help?\u201d he asked. \u201cYou can make the salad. I\u2019ll go let the others know dinner will be ready in a half-hour.\u201d<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Baudelaire was just waking up when he heard the scream coming from Shadow and Phoebe\u2019s room. He recognized the voice. It was Phoebe. He grabbed his gun and then ran down the hallway to the room. Suzie came right up behind him, her gun withdrawn, Baudelaire threw open the door. In the middle of the room Shadow was levitating in her sleep. Phoebe was in the corner terrified and still screaming. Captain Cattitude heard the scream also. He made his way to the their room also. He pushed aside Suzie who stood in the doorway her gun aimed at Shadow and whose mouth was hanging open. \u201cPut you guns away. It\u2019s part of the Changeling. She want harm any one. \u201cShe\u2019s floating in mid-air,\u201d said Suzie once her mouth and mind began to work together again. \u201cIs she an alien also,\u201d she said. \u201cNo, I\u2019ll explain later. Right now we need to get her down safely,\u201d Captain Cattitude said. By this time, Baudelaire had went over to Phoebe and was comforting her, telling her Shadow would be herself again and not to worry or be afraid of her. \u201cHow do you propose we get her to come down,\u201d said Suzie. \u201cI\u2019ll need to mind-meld with her, and teach her to come down herself,\u201d said Captain Cattitude as he shut his eye tight and placed his hands on his head. Shadow began to twitch up in the air. She woke up. She became afraid. She looked at everyone in shock. \u201cHow did I get up here?\u201d she asked. A voice distant and becoming stronger she began to hear in her head. \u201cShadow it\u2019s Captain Cattitude you are safe. This is all part of the Changling. This is your first power. You can levitate. Now, I\u2019m going to teach you how to come down safely. Do you understand?\u201d said the voice in her head. \u201cYes, I do,\u201d said Shadow back to Captain Cattitude in her head. To you surprise Captain Cattitude head her. \u201cNow, place your left Paw on top of your head and recite the following word. Mafdet. Keep repeating the word until you are on the ground,\u201d he said. Shadow did as he told her and she began to slowly descend to the ground. Suzie looked on with a quizzical look on her face. Phoebe and Baudelaire just looked on with amazement. Phoebe had calmed down and was holding Baudelaire\u2019s paw.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

When Shadow was on the ground, she ran over to Phoebe. Captain Cattitude came out of his trance and smiled that it worked. It had all taken place in five minutes. Suzie had regained her composure and announced dinner would be ready soon. \u201cWe need to discuss what happened here,\u201d she said. I didn\u2019t know we had two aliens.\u201d \u201cWe don\u2019t. It\u2019s only me. I\u2019ll explain at dinner time.\u201d \u201cShadow will experience more powers as the Changeling continues its process,\u201d said Captain Cattitude\u2026<\/p>\n\n\n\n
