“What will we do?” Flynn asked. “Here’s the plan. I’m a half wizard who don’t know how to use spells but with my magic capabilities, a spellcaster can easily tap on it as a source of magic. Meaning to say, since I can’t use my magic and it’s just stuck inside me, we can find a spellcaster in town who could use my power as a source for the spell. The spell needs to be strong and spellcasters usually don’t have enough power source, so I’m going to give them an offer. We’ll make a magic circle just before Caleb transforms and then we’ll lock Caleb inside the circle with the spell, nullifying him from stepping outside the circle thus, Caleb is trapped. The next morning, we’ll undo the spell and Caleb can freely go.” I explained. “That could work!” Caleb said. “But where can we possibly find this spellcaster? Have you seen an ad lately? Saying, ‘Hey, I’m a spellcaster for hire.’ I don’t think so.” Megan replied back. “That’s the problem. We have to go hunting for a spellcaster.” I replied. “Wait. I think I might know someone.” Megan exclaimed.

“Who?” Flynn asked. “A year after I died, there were ghost rumors around that someone transferred to our school and that she was seen by a ghost to light up candles with just saying weird words. A month ago, I heard the same rumors again. I don’t usually converse with ghost so, I just overhear things but if this is the case; I can go to school now and talk to some of the ghosts there. I can pull some strings too.” Megan said.

“Do it Megan. Go there now, with your ghostly teleportation. We’ll meet you there as soon as we get the car.” I commanded Megan. “Got it. Bye! Meet me in the same room you first saw me, Mikael.” Megan said and disappeared out of thin air.

We drove to the school and went to the room that Megan told us to go to, when we got there, there was a girl that was torturing Megan.

“Help!” Megan shouted while in pain. “Who are you?! WHAT ARE YOU DOING TO MEGAN?”  Flynn shouted.

“Claude Ostium!” the girl shouted and the door behind us shut. It closed suddenly. “Mikael, she’s the spellcaster.” Flynn said. “Miss, what’re you doing?” Caleb asked. “I’m exorcising her! She doesn’t belong to this plane! She brought me here, she has some bad intentions! I can’t let her hurt me!” she shouted. Then she started exorcising Megan again, “Animus ille deleo de terra viventium! Animus ille deleo de terra viventium! Animus ille deleo de terra viventium!” she said.

Megan shouted in pain. “STOP! PLEASE STOP!” Megan cried. “Stop! Megan is our friend!” I said then tried to get near the girl, “Don’t go near me! Stay away!” she shouted. I still went near her and she used a spell on us, “Capitis Dolores Vehementes!” she shouted. Then I dropped to my knees and so did Caleb and Flynn. It was intense headache. My instincts kicked in and I remembered a spell Mother taught me in case I ever fight a spellcaster. A simple Dispelling spell. “Subsisto Carmine Triae!” I shouted. The headache stopped and Megan’s exorcism also stopped.  “Veta Verba In Hoc Locus!” I shouted again.

“Capitis Dolores Vehementes!” she shouted but nothing happened. She was in shock. “What did you do?” she shouted. “I sealed of the room from spells. It’s a simple spell that any powerful spellcasters can easily break, seems like you’re just a beginner.” I said. “What do you want from me?” she asked. “You’re powerless in this room now. We want you to help us. My name is Mikael, I’m a vampire wizard. This is Flynn, a vampire. Caleb, a werewolf and of course, the girl you just tried to exorcise, Megan the ghost.” I introduced. “Vampires? Wolf? Ghost? What are you building? Some sort of circus freaks?! I don’t wanna get involved! Let me go!” she exclaimed. “You might not know but tonight is the FULL MOON. That means our werewolf, Caleb has to transform.” I said. “And what does that have to do with me?” she asked. “Caleb had never transformed before, he’s the last werewolf in town. Their kind is now endangered of being extinct. First transformation is the most violent; we need to seal him off somewhere safe but we can’t. I’m a wizard but I never finished my training so I only know little, all of the witches are gone too. We need you to help us seal Caleb until he returns to human form. So that no one will get hurt, no humans will die.” I explained. “As much as I want to save human lives, I can’t. I’m not powerful enough as a witch.” She said. “Power is not a problem. I’ll let you tap on my inner magic as a source.” I said. “If that’s the case, that’ll provide me enough power. Okay. I’ll help you but just this time! For the humans.” She said. “No further requests.” I said. “When and where do we meet? I’ll leave a note on your locker with our address and the time. Thank you!” I said. “Don’t thank me yet. I haven’t saved anyone.” She said.

“What’s your name?” I asked. “Trinity.” She replied.

Darkness was about to fall, we decided to head over the forest near the town and let Caleb transform there.

“Okay I need some Magic Powder. We need to draw 2 circles, one will be for Caleb and the other will be for me, you and Finn. Megan will be okay since she’s a ghost.” Trinity ordered.

I started to make a circle often referred to as the witch’s circle.

“Since I’m gonna draw power from you, I can tap on the witch’s abilities. Meaning to say, I will not just be a spellcaster, I will serve as a link from both of the circles. We will try to trap Caleb in his circle while controlling the power that I’m using through the 2nd circle.” Trinity explained.

I finished making the circle and we all stepped onto the circle while Caleb went to the other one.

“Guys! I’m not feeling well anymore. AHHHH!” Caleb shouted in pain and dropped to his knees. Trinity grabbed me and started chanting the spell.

“Magia interius caperent me adjuvet bestiae ut disperderet civitatem. Auxilium sibi per me tempero hi circuli. Captionem de reditu!” Trinity shouted.

A beam of light struck our location and after a while we heard Caleb screaming again and the next thing we saw was a Wolf. A very big and terrifying wolf.

“Did it work?” Finn asked.

“We’ll see, if he tries to walk out the circle.” Trinity said.

Caleb walked out of the circle like it was nothing and we were all in shock.

“OH MY GOD! It didn’t work!” Megan shouted.

“Why didn’t it work?” Finn asked.

“Trinity wasn’t strong enough to tap on to a wizard’s power. The magic was nullified.” I explained.

Caleb started running towards the town and we knew we had to stop him. I tried to step out of the 2nd circle to use my super speed and catch him but I couldn’t leave the circle.

“I can’t get out!” I said.

“Looks like it worked after all, but only the second spell.” Trinity said.

“It worked but only one of the spell did because the power wasn’t enough” Trinity stated.

“Now what do we do?” Finn asked.

“We wait.” Trinity said

“We can’t afford to wait, if we wait then people in town will be nothing but mere dead bodies!” I shouted.

“I can’t do anything okay?! I am stuck here! I have to replenish the power that I’ve lost for at least half an hour. Unlike you I have very limited source of magic.” Trinity shouted back.

“Then tap on my power.” I said..

“I can’t I’m out of my own power. I can’t use magic.” She replied.

“Okay guys, stay here. I’m gonna check on Caleb and see if I could talk to him. Maybe inside he could recognize me a bit. I’m a ghost so I won’t get hurt. Don’t worry. I’ll be back.” Megan stated.

After Megan said that she disappeared.
