yelled at me.
    “Well, relatively speaking,” I agreed.
    “When did this happen?” she asked. “You were fine last night! You must be so pissed!”
    I frowned. “I don’t know if pissed is quite the right word.”
    “How can you not be pissed?” she persisted. “One day you’re an awesome vampire witch, and now it’s all gone. You’re just a plain, boring human.”
    “Wait, are you saying my witch potential is gone too?” I asked, looking back and forth from Amy to Tammy. As witches themselves, they could both read auras. And from their confused looks, I could tell that mine showed nothing supernatural in the slightest anymore. “Well, that sucks!”
    “What could cause this to happen?” Tammy asked, although it seemed like she was mostly asking herself. “Maybe something magical?”
    “Or the opposite of magical,” I added.
    “Wait!” she said. “I know something! What I was just coming to tell you guys, in fact. Do you guys know that occult store in the Village, the Magickal Well?”
    David and I shook our heads in unison, but Amy said, “Yeah, that’s owned by the coven who host all those open rituals in Washington Square Park. They’re pretty cool.”
    “Well, they’re no longer witches,” Tammy said.
    “You mean like I’m no longer a witch?” I asked. “What happened to them?”
    “They were having their meditation on the waxing moon at midnight, and that was the last thing they all remember.”
    Something occurred to me, and I asked, “Where did you say they were?”
    “They were meeting in the back room of the shop. It’s in the East Village.”
    “That’s where I was last night, too!” I said.
    “Oh, interesting!” Tammy tapped her chin with her fingernail. “Maybe it’s some kind of area effect?”
    “I guess,” I said. Knowing less about witchcraft than my best friend, I didn’t feel that qualified to answer.
    “What happened before you lost all your specialness?” Amy asked. “Weren’t you at a vampire club?”
    “Yeah, but everything is really fuzzy.”
    “What do you remember?” Tammy asked.
    “Well, I took the train to 2 nd  Avenue, and walked to the club from there. I stopped at a bar to eat, because I wasn’t sure of the protocol in the club.”
    “You stopped to eat?” Tammy looked confused. “Oh, ewww, I get it. So what happened at the club?”
    “Well,” I began, wondering how much to edit out. “There were a lot of vampires at the club, maybe one for every twenty humans. I talked for a few minutes with Alex and Michael, and then I just danced for a while.”
    Tammy looked skeptical. “You just danced for a while, and then you came home?”
    “Well, no. I mean, yes. I guess everything was really fuzzy, so it’s hard to say exactly what happened.”
    “Why would everything get fuzzy?” Tammy asked. “From a spell?”
    “No,” I said somewhat sheepishly. “Probably because I had too much blood.”
    “How could you have too much blood?” she asked. Tammy grabbed my hand and examined the spell ring she had given me that would shock me if a person I was drinking from was near the point of death. “Did this thing stop working?”
    “No, I’m sure it’s still working fine,” I said. “I mean I drank a little blood from a bunch of people.”
    Tammy crossed her arms and looked down at me. “Why don’t you just tell me everything that you remember? Who were these people that you were drinking from?”
    “Just people who were at the club. It was a vampire party, and from what I could tell, we were allowed to drink from anyone.”
    “But I thought you had already had blood? So what’s the point of doing that?”
    “It’s just, you know, yummy.” I shrugged. 
    “Are you kidding me?” Tammy asked. “You just go around indiscriminately biting people and sucking their blood?”
    “Well, it is kind of a vampire thing,” I said. “But for now I think I would prefer pizza.”
    “On it,” David said, taking out his phone.
    “So
