Hi, I'm Kallie and i am a voodoo doll. Yep WTF!!! Trust me i didnt believe in spells and dark magic before this happened. I will get her back if its the last thing i do!!!!! This is how it all started:

*******************************************************************************************

"Aunt Brenda? I thought you were in Peru!" "Yes, it is Kallie's birthday this year" "aww that's okay you can always visit next year" "wait what?" "you are mailing a present!" "wonderful!" "I will see yo next year, have fun!" My mum was constantly on the phone with Aunt Brenda, more often than I was with my best friend Priya, so yeah it was a lot! Soon it was back to school, yep.... April fools day which meant pranks and fun and finally fitting in. Mum motioned to me 'check the mail' she mouthed. 'why?' i mouthed back but she had already turned around with phone pressed against ear.

I run outside, wrappping my jacket tightly around me and wishing i wasnt wearing the shortest denims ever. The wind was strong and the clouds were threatening to rain. I quickly opened the mail box. Best Birthday ever! Bad weather, chores and Freezing to  Death right now. Yep, my birthday is on April 1st, i get that alot. It felt like i had icecubes pressing on my skin and if it werent for my bunny slippers,i'm sure i would have gotten black toes. I grap the parcel and run. It was very heavy, probably some really weird jumper from brenda or a book on History. I roll my eyes.

Aunt Brenda had been really into travelling and loved history....boring!I stumble back into our cosy townhouse and take my slippers off. "mum!!!! Aunt Brenda got me something!!!" "What is it?" mum curiously poked her head from the corner of the kitchen. Her hair recentley curley from a permanent curling salon. " Dunno!" i call back "open it!" mum shouts over the sound of the tap running.

I rip open the ugly brown packaging and see the cover. "Spellistic?" I read aloud. I flip through it and it is filled with fake spells and a card on the last page. 'Dear Kallie , sorry i cant be here for yur birthday. i have bought you a very fragile book of spells, use wisely as these spells cannot be undone. Love Aunt Brenda' I sigh. Another horrible wasteful present. "Mum?!" i call but i hear the front door shut as she leaves to work.

I decide to call my freaky, nerdy, hairebrained best friend as she loved curses and dark magic. Was addicted to them really bad. I should probably pawn it off on Priya for her birthday but i looked at it. It shimmered with gold ouline and ancient papery feel. I couldnt, my Aunt had given it to me. I promised myself i would keep it for a year at least.
