Spellbound

Growing Pains

    I was locked in a cell, with bars laced with vervain and nothing else. They were starving me. Only 4 ounces of blood every 6 hours, just enough so I wouldn't start to desiccate. I had no one. But I needed to have hope. Hope that they would come and find me.             Meanwhile in New Orleans... Sam yanks the doorknob right off it's hinges and walks into the old, '90's apartment. "Subtle ." Alexa says walking into the room. "Oh, but didn't you hear? being subtle is one of my specialties." Sam says with a smile. "What did you have in mind to take?" Alexa asks. "I don't know, anything. A piece of clothing, toothbrush, used tissue." "Sam, I am being serious." "Oh, but aren't we all." "Wait...we can use you." Alexa says. "Look, I'm flattered, but when I woke up this morning, being turned into a mouse wasn't exactly on my agenda." "You and Jason are brothers, meaning that your blood could link us to him." "I would feel a lot better if you were the test subject in all of this." "I'm your half-sister, the spell may not work on me, however, you and Jason are actual brothers." Sam sighs. "Fine, let's go sissy." Sam and Alexa go back to the Magic shop and Alexa tells the woman about her theory. The woman stares and then begins to smile. "That was a test, it took longer than I'd expected, but you two passed." "What?" Sam asks. "You mean this was all a TEST? We wasted 3 hours when we could have been finding Jason." "Relax, We can do it. Now, give me your wrist." Sam puts out his wrist and the woman takes a knife and cuts through his skin. She then starts her spell, and chants, "Descendere spirituum, auxilium invenire hoc est opus inventum." And repeats her spell. The blood suddenly starts moving towards Jason's location. The woman, Sam, and Alexa, all look down at where the blood stopped. "You've got to be kidding me."      In Blythewood, Isla hears sounds coming from all around, random gushes of wind. She then screams as a hand covers her mouth and taken. Isla awakes to be in a cell. "Isla." She hears and to her surprise, she sees Jason. "Wh-what's going on? Where are we? Why are you here? Why am I here?" "They took you." Jason says. "You need to go, move to the other side of the cell." He says. "What? No, I am staying here." Jason turns his head as he feels the hunger raging. "I said move." He yells. Isla stares in fear. "I-I'm so sorry, Isla. But you need to move." Isla sees the hunger in  his face. "Jason, what's wrong? What's happening to you?" She asks. Jason doesn't answer. "All of the bodies, your face, I found blood in your refrigerator. What is going on?" Isla demands. "Tell me." Jason is silent. "I'm a vampire." he says.
