Nessa sat in the balcony of the library, plotting. How could she bring down her siblings? Azkadellia and Glitch were distracted. Riggs was hardly ever around. Murtaugh would be a problem. But he was older, and would soon perhaps be distracted by a woman, just like Glitch had been. As Nessa saw it, there were only three to worry about. Glinda and Maguire for their powers, and Nim for her friends with powers.
****
"Glinda, I'm not teaching you how to make a love potion." They were studying together out in the field close to their house.
"Oh, come on, Maguire," Glinda pleaded, resisting the urge to call him Magpie. It was still difficult, this being good business. "What harm could it do? Honestly, it's just a little love spell? And it's not just for me, either. It's for Nim, too."

Nim snorted, "I don't have any magic...I don't need a love spell...boys are problems when it comes to being a guard..."

"Oh, you!" Glinda said. "You only think that because you aren't popular. Wait 'til I give you a makeover! THEN you really won't need a love spell because the boys will be all over you!"
Maguire blinked and went back to his book, thinking that he really, really, REALLY didn't need to be part of this conversation.

"But I don't want the boys to be all over me...they'd be in my way then..."

"But then you could make them do whatever you wanted. You wouldn't need any magic."

Nim frowned and walked off by herself, muttering about how she didn't need magic anyway.

"What'd I say? I was just trying to help."
"You're very bad at being good," Maguire muttered, running after Nessa. "Hey! Stop!"

Nim frowned and turned around, "What's going on?"

"Glinda's an a**. That doesn't mean you should leave."
Glinda put down the book she was pretending to read and started looking at herself in the mirror.
Nessa watched her siblings out the window. All three of them together. They hadn't even invited her along. She wondered if Maguire was as allergic to water as the rest of the greenified members of their family.

"Doesn't mean that I want to listen to her either," Nim frowned at the ground, "The rest of you all have things in common...and I'm just out here...on my own...I don't need reminded of that at every turn..."

Maguire shook his head. "But you're waaaaaaaaaayyyyy smarter than Glinda."
"I resemble that!" Glinda yelled angrily.
Maguire raised an eyebrow. He looked back at Nim. "And you're braver than me. And I'd rather have one of you than a hundred like Nessa."
In the library, Nessa got down a big black spell book with the words "Evilimmerie" illuminated on the cover. She smiled. Yes, this would work.

"Good." Maguire smiled. "I'm glad."
"That makes one of us," Glinda muttered.
Nessa opened the book. A huge gust of wind blew out at her. Then the book started screaming. Nessa closed it with a bang. This could be a problem. Maybe, if he didn't know what it was, Maguire would open it for her and stop it screaming. "Cloakify," she commanded the book. It did nothing. "Come on. Cloakify. Cloakify. CLOAKIFY!" The book still did nothing.
"Did you hear something?" she asked the other two.

"Oh," Glinda said. "Nothing out of the ordinary then."
Maguire blinked. "So, what do you wanna do, Nim? You wanna play a game?"
Nessa glared at the book. "I need some good spells, so open up," she told it. She sighed heavily. "What do I have to do to get you to help me?" she asked it. It opened. And didn't scream. "Oh, now we're talking," Nessa said with a smile.
