8:37 PM"I claim no negative energy from this evil monster. Cleanse and purify this wretched beast so that Illy can come to her senses and start dating that hot Cuban guy down the street—"
Illyana sighed and pressed her thumb and forefinger to the bridge of her nose, closing her eyes as she shook her head in disappointment.
"Lex, what are you doing?"
Her eighteen year old sister, Alexis, or Lex as she so lovingly liked to call her, looked back at Illy from over her shoulder before continuing her ritual, chanting foreign words while moving her open palm back and forth over her midnight black cat, Charli who looked up at Illy, his golden eyes blinking lazily as if to say 'Why is this crazy chick here again?'
"Lex-"
"Please, do not interrupt the cleansing," Lex hissed before going back to chanting and Illy rolled her eyes, grabbing her younger sister by the scruff of her shirt and practically dragging her away from the poor cat.
'Mrow~' Charli stretched and yawned before he settled on his side, glancing around him with a distant expression.
"Illy wait!" Lex protested as she was dragged back to the living room, "The last video I watched said an unfinished spell causes bad karma and I wasn't done."
"Yes you are," Illy rolled her eyes again and deposited her sister onto the couch, "you know you're supposed to be helping me with the brownies, not messing with Charli."
"But-"
"Zip it."
With an exaggerated pout, Lex threw her hands up in defeat, "Fine! But when something bad happens, don't say I didn't warn you. That cat is gonna swallow your soul someday."
Ever since they were little girls, Lex had always been the type to curse people to turn into bats and vampires, with her overactive imagination.
She had even gone through that rebellious emo teen phase where black was her soul and existence was pain and in recent times, Illy's dear sister had herself a spiritual awakening.
Before Illy could reply, her phone began to ring incessantly in her pocket and she gave Lex a final warning glare so she wouldn't go back to tormenting Charli and when lex shrugged and tore into a bag of chips, she finally answered the call, putting the phone to her ear.
"Hello?"
"Illy! Finally you pick up."
It was their step-mother, Audrey.
