I didn't even have a chance to react before Bobby was scaling down the drainpipe outside of Rosemary's place. Which was a very bad thing, considering that my body was still up in the room - and that Rosemary's was dead on the ground.
Thankfully, Bobby had left the window open.
"I'm sorry," I said, wrenching control back from Bobby, "but I need to take control for just a minute."
I didn't give Bobby a chance to argue. I didn't think we had the time to discuss the reasons. For all I knew, Rosemary's neighbor had a key that could get into the room. I hoped not - I had been smart enough to lock the door. But it was impossible to tell for sure, and I couldn't take the risk.
I climbed back into Rosemary's room with ease, landing on her floor with a soft, gentle thud that couldn't be heard from the outside. Not willing to risk Bobby falling over the moment I switched bodies, I sat down beside the chair I had plopped Rosemary's body into.
I touched Rosemary's leg.
A second later, I was back in her body. I got up - bringing Bobby with me - and put a hand over his mouth to prevent him from making any noise that could go against everything being normal.
"Everything's alright," I said, in what I hoped was a good imitation of how Rosemary normally talked. "I just have some distant family over. We...We weren't making too much noise, were we? I'm sorry - one of them is a little clumsy, and kept knocking into things..."
