I See Dead People
The Witch's Curse

Suho's eyes snapped open. It was the dead of the night and he can faintly hear someone heavily breathing. Slowly, he risen from the water and looked around the lightless bathroom.
Sleeping arrangements were a bit tough. Lacey's bedroom was strictly off limits for any of them which meant there were only two other rooms left since no one wanted to make a mess in her parents' room. One of the rooms was occupied by Tao, and Baekhyun while the other was occupied wit Lay, Jongdae, and Xiumin (with Lay selflessly giving up a bed spot for the hungry yeti).
Which left Luhan in the couch at the entrance room. As for Suho he gladly requested the bathtub which he filled with the water he summoned. Of course, Lacey found it a little odd for someone to want to sleep in the bathroom, but Suho assured her that everything was fine and he was perfectly sane. But right now he wasn't sure if he was hearing things. Is that heavy breathing I hear? He wondered. He summoned his mystical tail to be replaced by his long pale legs and got out of the bathtub. Wrapping a towel around his waist he slowly headed towards the door. He placed his ear against it and listened. There was totally someone out of breath in the hallway. It sounded as if someone was exercising but who would exercise in the middle of the night right out the hallway? His mind went straight to Tao, but he knew the maknae loved his sleep. Curious as to who it was, he slowly opened the door and looked around the hallway. "Xiumin?" He whispered in disbelief. He looked at the littered boxes and wrappers of food and stared at the back of the older man. He could see the familiar mop of brown hair, but the body didn't look the same at all. "Is that... you?" Suho asked, still wondering if he needed his eyes checked. The mystery man finally put a stop to his exercising. Standing up, he slowly turned around to face the prince, a sheepish expression on his face. It was definitely Xiumin, his face was exactly the same, but fuller. He grinned at Suho, "Do you think Lacey's going to be mad at me for raiding her kitchen?" "Where's Xiumin?" Lacey asked, looking at the empty chair at the dining table. Everyone else was there and ready to eat breakfast. Everyone, but Xiumin that is. "Still asleep." Lay chirped. "He was completely snuggled into the blanket. I tried to rip it off of him, but he didn't budge." "I tried to give him a wake-up zap, but Lay wouldn't let me." Jongdae pouted at the healer. Lacey frowned at that. "He's still sleeping? I don't really think it's a good idea for him to miss breakfast..." "Oh trust me," Suho grumbled. "He'll be fine. He had a lot to eat." And I had a lot to clean... After watching Xiumin exercise himself to the point of exhaustion, Suho was stuck cleaning the yeti's mess. He had to sweep the crumbs off the floor, wipe the sweat off the floor, and throw away the empty boxes and wrappers. I'm surprised Lacey didn't notice the lack of food in her kitchen. Lacey still had her frown evident, but didn't say anything more and continued on eating. After they finished eating breakfast they went straight to the study room, the ring of keys safely inside Lacey's pajama pocket. Standing in front of the nicely carved study desk, she took out the keys and wondered, Alright, lets see which one of these work. There were ten drawers, all of them locked. She only had eleven keys and one of them was for the basement—wh
