"I accept!"

"I accept!" You blurt out.

"What?!" Rory exclaims.

"I accept. This has to be done. And I don't want to bring this place into danger. So I accept. It's the least I can do after you saved my life."

They all stare at you, gaping. Rory is the most shocked of them all.

"Are you sure, Liam?" Callie asks you.

Yes, you are. "I am," You state. You feel like you owe them. And you want to not be the damsel in distress anymore, the one who needs saving, who everyone else risks their life for. You're ready to risk your own life for once.

Rory looks down.

"Okay. If you're sure." Callie says, "Then let's go over the plan. All of us should be able to infiltrate the mansion. We can probably get both Tanya and Kim in beforehand. If they really are building an army, they should be open to new members. And the rest can slip in while every eye will be pointed at you. Now, we obviously not going to risk just handing you over to them. So, what we will instead do is to imprint your aura onto Rory, so they'll believe Rory is you."

"That wouldn't work, they'll see my own magical blueprint immediately," Rory complains.

"Not if you're wearing the dress."

Rory falls silent immediately.

"What's the dress?" You ask.

Rory stays silent.

"The dress is a piece of magical clothing that can mask your magic completely," Callie explains.

"So what's so bad about that?"

"Well, Rory's magic is tied to her appearance. It'll change her more drastically."

"It'll take my muscles, is all," Rory states.

"They come back once you take off the dress." Kim expresses.

"Doesn't change how I hate it."

"It's the only way, Rory, you know this." Callie implores.

Rory doesn't complain any further.
