Celeste walked into the room, arms crossed over her chest. She, Mindee and Phoebe had realized what Esme had done; what she had been doing for weeks. "This shouldn't have happened." Her voice was edged with anger, and she glared at Esme. "We know what's been going on here."
Phoebe and Mindee stood behind Celeste, looking at Esme with daggers in their eyes. "We were betrayed," Mindee said, looking hurt.
"This wasn't for the four-in-one," Celeste said. "You acted for yourself."
"No, no," Esme protested. "It was for us. We were drawing Sophie back to us."
"We hurt her," Mindee said, her voice strained. "She's still our sister, Esme. We hurt her."
Phoebe spoke up. "Mother will figure it out, Esme. She will not be pleased with us. This is going to go badly for us."
"We wouldn't have done this," Mindee said. "You made us do this."
"Please.." Esme protested. "We.."
"No," Celeste said firmly. "You took control of our mind for your own, individual purposes. You aren't a part of the four-in-one anymore, Esme."
"We are the three-in-one," said Phoebe, a bit of nervousness entering her voice.
"You're lucky if we even call you sister after what you did," said Celeste vehemently.
"But.." Esme called after the three-in-one as they turned and left her, alone. Everything around her went black.
