The battle of Demons

Chapter 7

                                                                *Skip To Home Sweet Home*

When I get home I remember the mess from this morning, I walk into the kitchen to clean it up but there wasn't a mess to clean I look around and there aren't any broken plates and the cabinet is on the wall. I start to feel like I might be in the wrong house so I go upstairs to what I think is my room. When I get there I know that I'm in the right house, I have a big book shelf in the corner of my room over flowing with books I've actually been meaning to get another one so I can move all my books to the room down the hall and finally turn it into my own personal library. I hear someone come in the house from down stairs, I grab the bat from behind my door then I slowly and quietly make my way down stairs when I get to bottom of the steps I don't see anyone but I hear a woman's voice say

"Hurry up and get that up stairs so we can get out of here before Angel gets home." It's coming from the kitchen I get up and run in with my bat pointing out towards who ever it was and say 

"It's to late for that." It takes me a second to realize who it was.

"Mom, dad, and Austin. What are ya'll doing here?" I ask dropping the bat and running to hug them.

"We came to surprise you with that new bookshelf you wanted."Mom says hugging me back.

"Thank you, you can put that in the room at the end of the hall upstairs."

                                                    *Skip To Me Cleaning  XP*

"How's it going up here."Mom asks as she walks in the room where I'm putting the books on my new bookshelf.

"Almost done."I say as I pick up a scrapbook that I have't looked in in years. I walk over to the small bed in the corner and sit down to look through it.

"Maybe I'll find out who Brandon is."I think to myself as I open the cover to the first page. Memories flood into my mind as I flip through the pages, then I come to a picture of a bunch of people below it says"Art camp June 18,19,20 ~ 2012."I look for myself in the picture, when I find myself right above my head was a little bubble that had "summer crush" written in it. I look at the person standing next to me holding a sign that says"GPAC Art camp" when I look at his face a little closer the face from my dream comes back.

"Brandon." I say the words before I can stop myself.

"Yea you had a very big crush on that boy I wonder what happened to him." Mom says looking at the the boy next to me in the picture.

"I feel like I'm going to see him again soon." I say flipping through more of the pages then I come across a picture of a flower. I run my fingers across the page and a voice comes into my head.

"Here I made this for you."The voice said I didn't see the person's face but I know who it was because I hear my voice say 

"Awww thank you Brandon I love it." I can feel myself smile at the memories of someone being so nice to me and start to get excited at the thought that I might see him again.

"Mom?"I ask as my mind goes to something different.

"Yes sweetie?"She says sitting down next to me.

"Is it true that there is a spell that can make me a human again?"I asks looking up at her face.

"How did you find out about that?"

"I heard you and dad talking about it a few years ago." I say handing her the book.

"There is, but we don't know if it will work and we didn't want to get your hopes up for nothing. If it does work you will be able to restart your life like it never stopped, you'll be human again but if it doesn't work then time will start and within a few seconds you'll be dead." Mom says as she looks through the pictures.

                                                         *Skip To NIGHT TIME!!!!*

"So you figured out who Brandon was?"Emily says over the phone.

"Yea I met him back in 2012 at this art camp that I went to he was so nice to me, and I found this picture he drew me it was picture of a flower it was so beautiful." A smile goes across my face as I say that.

"Oooo sounds like somebody has a crush on you." She says and laughs.

"That was years ago I'm pretty sure he doesn't even remember me." I feel a wave of sadness go through me as I say this. I involuntary sigh as I think of the day I met him and how great it would be if I could see him again.

"Hey are you going to the disciple now thing tomorrow?" She says trying to get my mind off Brandon.

"Yea why, are you." I say as mom comes in.

"I'm going to bed now baby, goodnight." 

"Goodnight mom see you in the morning." I say getting up and hugging her.

"So I guess you don't need my help finding out who Brandon is, now do you."Emily says as I sit back down at the table that I have my laptop on.

"No but I do need your help with something even bigger than my memory." I say staring at the screen.

"Oh sounds like a challenge, hit me." She says and starts messing with something.

"I need you to look for this spell that is supposed to make me human again. I heard my parents talking about it a few years ago." I say and wait for her to finish typing something. 

"Well there isn't a spell per-say but there is a ritual." She says and I roll my eyes.

"Whats the difference between a spell and a ritual?" 

"Well a spell only needs a few words but a ritual normally need a living sacrifice like a goat or a sheep, but there is a catch though." She says and stops doing something I didn't notice she was doing.

"Whats the catch?"I ask completely interested.

"It has to be a newborn." I feel my heart ack as she says this.

"Wow." I say because I can't think of anything else to say.

"Yeah." There is a moment of silence then I say

"Well um I'll come over next week after the church thing is over and we can start on the ritual. Do you think you can stay a night or two so we can make sure that we have everything we need." I say getting up to go make me something to drink.

"Yeah I think I can do that, I don't really have any plans next week so, what time do you think you'll come get me."She asks when I finally get the cup I've been struggling to get.

"Well I don't really know, probably when it ends." I say then take a sip of my water.

"OK,well I'm getting tired I'll talk to you later goodnight." I say and hang up after she says her goodbye.
