It's now Saturday and I have finally arrived home to be greeted by a normal dad and a hysterical mam. I have 4 days left to save Nate and I don't know if I will be here this time next week, but I hope I am. I intend to go to Prom and hopefully watch anyone else than Kelsey win, which won't be happening because she us banned from prom.
I walked into my bedroom to find Lisa already there, has she even been home yet. I went for breakfast before coming here. She was reading through all the information Elizabeth had given me. Then my mother barged passed me carrying two cups of coffee, one for her and one for- Lisa?
"Good your home" Lisa spoke pulling me to the bed and handing me a sheet
"I've already read this" I replied
"Remember the story you told me about how deaths true love died and forgot all about him?"
"Yeah?" I questioned
Lisa pointed to a place on the paper which spoke about a powerful God that killed a girl out of mercy to what beast she had fallen in love with- They called death a beast. Okay he maybe an ass but he isn't a beast. It continued saying that the beast she loved roamed every corner of the earth to find her but couldn't find her body so he could place her soul back into her body. He could have brought her back.
"He wanted to resurrect her" I asked puzzled, she just nodded
"There is a ritual where you can summon the girl that Death loved but we need blood of a person that was marked by Death, currently" Lisa spoke, my mother shooting death glares at her
"So you need my blood?" I commented and my mother looked towards her feet "How much?" I asked
"It doesn't matter because we are not-"
"How much?" I cut her off
"7, 7 pints" she mutters avoiding my gaze, Mothers what can you do they're always trying to protect you
"So till I'm practically dead?" I answered, they both stood still, almost frozen "When are we doing it?"
"You can't be serious?" my mother yelled
"I can either get help now or can just die in 4 days time" I snapped
After the little argument I had won because I'm not letting myself and an innocent guy die because I wasn't able to just make him happy and want to live. Lisa and my mother went to a sort of witch store and picked up some things whilst I went into the woods with a stone plate which was actually our bird bath, beggars can't be choosers.
Once I got to a place where there was some sort of clearing I decided this is the spot. Death doesn't watch me 24/7 does he? He'll never know I'm summing her. His love. I messaged my mother where I was then placed the stone bowl in the centre of the clearing. I read through the words of the 'spell' and continued to practise them.
The blood had to be put into the stone bowl first with a chant and then I had to be able to finish the chant, adding the ingredients. This shit best work. My bag contains 3 cartoons of orange juice and several packs of cookies, to keep up my bloods sugar. I wanted to do my part of the 'spell' when my mother wasn't here. I didn't want her to see this.
The words were in Latin so I tried my best with the pronunciation. "Quae mortem in sanguinem. Conjuro te diligit anima. Mulier quae habebat in corde suo vocat animal. Reducam enim sanguis meus hic sanguis meus in auxilium orantes spiritu tuo. Mors vocat ultimus actus humani. Corpus et sanguis meus praecedet te et requiem aeternitatis. Rogo ut subitis auxilium". I read grabbing a knife and slicing my skin from my elbow to my wrist. I continued to repeat the chant over and over until the bird bath was almost full.
That's when I started to get dizzy and that was the signal that I had to stop, my eyes dare to shut but I forcefully tied several bandages on my arms, containing my bleeding wrists. I instantly started to drink the orange juice. and eat the cookies. I was half way through the 2nd carton of orange juice and the 4th packet of cookies. Yum.
"You already did it?" My mother yelled dropping the bag to the floor
"I didn't want you to have to watch me do it" I simply replied getting out the ingredients. Repeating the same chant from earlier.
"Hannah, are you okay" she asked her voice now softer than before but her eyes were still hard
"Yeah mom, I'll be okay" I replied, I lied to her and I am lying to myself.
"Quae mortem in sanguinem. Conjuro te diligit anima. Mulier quae habebat in corde suo vocat animal. Reducam enim sanguis meus hic sanguis meus in auxilium orantes spiritu tuo. Mors vocat ultimus actus humani. Corpus et sanguis meus praecedet te et requiem aeternitatis. Rogo ut subitis auxilium".
Lisa started to do a circle of salt on the grass and gave me a thumbs up. I continued the chant whilst adding some sort of leaf to my blood, then there was a mint scented stick which I had to turn, mixing the leafs and the blood, then finally I need to add mountain ash and misled toe for God knows what.
Then a puff of purple smoke appeared from the bowl. The smoke moved towards the circle of salt and a woman appeared on the floor. she looked up, her face was puzzled. Then her eyes locked onto mine and my mothers. Then her ace became angry and pitiful. Her eyes widen in a type of familiarity.
"Let me out of here you worthless creature" She snapped her voice spitting venom
What have I done to make her so mad. God what is wrong with this chick. I'm pretty sure I don't know her but you never know, her ex-boyfriend has been dealing with my family for centuries.
