Magic's Curse

Chapter 1

         I bolt awake in a cold sweat, in the pitch black darkness of my room.I sit brooding in the dark the same dream for three weeks without the bliss of pure black unconsciousness, is enough to make anyone paranoid.Me personally, I don't believe i have enough space in my mind for paranoia.Not since the incident .  .  . 

           I 'm sitting at the kitchen table with Mom,Dad,Jake and Sarah. Jake and I are about to go to the bus stop for school, while Mom, Dad and Sarah eat breakfast before going to the lab and dropping off Sarah at Daycare. We're all smiling and happy like a normal family .  .  . then later,at school,I'm called to appear before the headmaster.When I get there Jake is already in a chair.I sit with him to comfort him, he is terrified. the headmaster gives me a few minutes to calm him, then he delivers the message that will change my life .  .  . forever,"Gabriel and Jake Archer, I am sorry to inform the both of you that your parents," The Headmaster paused with a grim expression on his face and started again," Boys, your parents are . .  . dead"I jumped up angry with the news that was presented before me, and I got out with barely concealed rage,"Prove .  .  . it."The Headmaster replied uncertainly,"Wh- .  .  . wh- .  .  . well .  .  . I-I beg your pardon?" "Prove .  .  .  . it." I half growled at him and he gave me a parchment letter from the Police and Fire departments .  .  .

Dear Gabriel, Jake and Sarah Archer,

            We regret to inform you of a lab fire where your parents looked for a cure to Themalis, a dangerous plague that takes the live of those we love one by one. Your parents bravely sought out a cure,but an experiment went wrong this morning and started a fire too close to their workstation to make it out of the building safely before we arrived. The status of everyone involved in the fire concerning you is below:

Kenneth Archer-   Age : 38   D.O.B. : 8/22/2024  Status : Deceased;D.O.A

 Lauren Archer- Age : 36  D.O.B. : 11/21/2026 Status : Deceased;D.O.A  

Sincerely,

The Police and Fire Departments
