Bellatrix was really sleepy right now, and she was fighting herself through the ride to stay awake. Ethan who was peeking at the rear window seemed to have noticed this.

"Bella, are you alright?" Ethan asked and the other two also couldn't help but stop using their phone and glancing at Bellatrix. "Yeah... Just sleepy." Bellatrix says with a tired smile.

Before Bellatrix could process, Matthew who was beside her took her head and rested it on his shoulder. "Sleep." Matthew says with a flat tone. Ethan saw this and couldn't help but smile before focusing on the road once again.

Thomas watched them curiously, he only noticed now how much Matthew blushes when with Bellatrix. His ears are red and he's also been acting weird lately, like Bella.

"Thank you, Matthew." Bellatrix smiled and closed her eyes and relaxed her body, leaning on Matthew. Matthew seems fairly normal unless you look closely, his ears are blushing and he seems to be more sweaty.

Thomas was the one to notice though, Ethan was too easy-going for his own good and although Matthew was good, he was still a year behind Thomas in hiding his thoughts.

Thomas was already making his own hypothesis on what was happening. 'Something happened to them that I don't know.' Thomas thought, while absentmindedly looking at his phone, scrolling without paying attention.

Half an hour later they finally arrived at the church, Matthew already woke Bellatrix gently. Bellatrix, although still dazed, got out of the car. Matthew followed and Thomas and Ethan soon after.

They then started to walk inside the church and find themselves a seat. The church was already packed and they were lucky enough to get a spot just before the last seat. The mass hadn't started yet, so everyone was just chatting by themselves.

The Burns meanwhile just sat silently, all looking at their only girl in concern. Bellatrix was still dazed but she was better compared to earlier in the car.

'I don't like this... Urgh...' Bellatrix thought to herself as she feels like crap. Also the fact that it's so bright inside the church that it's hurting her eyes is not helping. Though it really helps in keeping her awake.

As she had said before, she doesn't burn or something close to that in any church, the only thing that could probably do that was God's own will or 'he' will to take her back, not that he will by this time and lastly a ritual, performed by an ancient psychic, which in this era is almost close to none.
