Dark Side of the Moon

Chapter 2

Kristen:

After Trey left to wash his hands, I headed to my room for some sleep.

"Good night," I said to Ariana as she passed.

"Good night Krit." I closed my door and got into my pj's. Dealing with demons is dangerous, maybe ill cast a simple protection spell just for tonight. I reached into my desk and pulled out my spell book.

1 white candle
2 tablespoons of salt
2 tablespoons of ectoplasm
1/2 cup of mermaid blood
A pinch of sugar

I put the ingredients into a bowl, turn off the lights, and lit the candle.

"In the shadows, evils hide,
Ready to draw me from love's side,
but with your help I shall be strong,
Banish all that do me wrong.
Send them away, send them astray
Never again to pass my way.
So mote it be." I threw the pinch of suger into the bowl. A light flashed with a crackle and pop. I shielded my eyes, but as I did, a warm glow filled my heart. Must be the spell. As the flash went away, the flame of the candle turned green. I turned to the spell book. As long as the flame burns, the spell will remain constant. I picked up the candle and placed it on my bedside. You could tell the spell was working, because a soft, low hum filled the house. I layed in bed, waiting for sleep to take me away. I was just about to fall asleep, when I hear a loud crash. I leaped out of bed and walked to the door. I could hear heavy foot steps, definentally not Ariana or Trey. Then I was a shadow under my door fram. I held up my hand, ready to attack. I closed my eyes and thought hard about the attacker.

"Ashes To Ashes Dust To Dust For dust thou art And unto dust shalt thou return Ashes To Ashes Dust To Dust," I whispered. A scream came from the other side of the door as the attacker vanished into a pile of ash, then being blow about the house.

"Hey," whisperes a voice behind me. I jumped.

"Its okay, its just me." It was Ariana

"Who said its okay to apperate into someones room?"

"Were kinda under attack, I figured it was fine."

"So whats the 411," I asked.

"Apperently Treys older brother is here to kill him. Did you know he had an older brother?"

"No idea."

"Dammit Luke," yelled Trey from the other side of the door.

"Why cant you just leave me alone! Ive been in hiding since the fire. Besides, where have you been all this time?"

"Ive been killing your kind. You are an abomination to God. You must be eliminated!" I formed a dagger out of ice, and held it at my side, ready to burst through the door.

"Im done playing nice, Luke. Its time for you to die." Yelled Trey from the otherside of the door. There was a loud thud aginst the wall. There was a quick loud cry of pain from Luke.

"Before I kill you, where is it."

"What are you talking about?"

"The Book of Shadows. I know you took it from Grandmother before you left for college."

"Oh. That... right. I burned it along time ago," he smiled.

"Youre lying to me. I can see it in your eyes." Trey nealed down beside him. They both sat there in scilence, staring at the wall.

"What are they doing," I said.

"I still love you," Trey looked over at Luke, "even if you are a pain in my ass when you attempt to kill me." He lightly punched him on the shoulder. Trey leaned over and gave Luke a hug. Somehow through the sobs, he mannaged to get "Im sorry" out. Ariana and I opened the door and peaked around the corner. Luke had put his arm around Trey and was starting to shed a few tears.

"What do we do," I asked Ariana. She shrugged. I stood up and walked around the corner. Trey quickly whipped away the tears and stood up.

"I-we need a time to talk," he said looking at Luke. He offered a had to help Luke up, and he took it. Right then, I realized how much older he is. He seems to me aroung 20 or so. Short brown hair, spiked up. His face was chisled perfectly, with a few scars around his left eye. Standing at around 6'2" he was very hansom. Trey told Luke to wait outside for a second. When he was out of the house, Trey walked over to us.

"You guys should get some sleep. Im going to talk to Luke and see where this goes. Ill you gals tomorrow morning. Good night."

Trey went outside; we didnt see him for the rest of the night. I bade Ariana good night, and went to my room. I fell asleep fairly quickly to have been riled up.
