"He came back from the dead?" Dore asked.

This was crazy. Luckily I wasn't the one who was shocked.

"That's impossible," Micki said, "No magic can do that. I'm not sticking around for these lies."

She started walking out. Her little sidekick Shi Shi was right behind her as well. Dore and I stayed behind though. I wanted to know the meaning of it.

"He never died..."

There was this silence. We had been at my brother's funeral. I had seen my brother's body. It was a fucking open casket. I looked over at Dore and the others.

My brother was still alive.

Micki stopped, "How..."

Micki was not amused by any of this. My heart was kind of dropping. My brother was alive this whole time.

"The Bah family have you all tricked. They made it look like my family tried to steal the Immortality spell...that was a lie. They were trying to steal it. My dad fought them and stopped them before. This time it was up to me to stop Exodus. I tried and I thought I did...but I was tricked. He faked his death for you all but I suspected it. Did anyone see the body?"

"It was a closed casket," I said.

"He had to make it seem like he was dead. He killed someone else and used magic to take on their image. That way no one would suspect him of what he is about to do..."

"What is he about to do?"

"The spell that will make him immortal requires...sacrifice. He has to sacrifice witches. He has to burn witches to be exact."
"Old lady is immortal."

"She burnt witches. Why do you think the spirit of the little black girl was so angry that we were descendants of her. She was ready to kill both Genesis and me. Little black girl was the ghost of a young witch that Old Lady sacrificed."

"He's going to try to kill us?" Dore asked.

"He's been trying already. Those witch hunters. Think about it. There is only one family with the power to control minds..."

"My family," I said.

"Yes. Exodus has been controlling them and making them believe we were devils that have to die. If we don't stop fighting one another Exodus is going to have all of them burn us...alive."

"Exodus wouldn't hurt me," Micki said.

"It makes sense," Dore said.

"No it fucking doesn't."

"Go ask the old lady. Ask her what it takes to be immortal. She'll tell you. We die and he lives forever," Orion said, "Is that what you want Micki?"

"Where is he?"

"He hasn't revealed himself. That's why I need all of you. We need to do a summoning spell. Sit in a circle, hold hands and we will call him..."

"What makes you think we can stop him anyway?" Shi Shi asked shaking her head, "Exodus is stronger than all of us."

"Maybe not all of us together."

"Don't believe this bullshit..." Micki said.

"Hold my hand and repeat after me. I'll prove it with the summoning spell," Orion said, "I wanted you to wear black for a reason. It will make our magic stronger."
Dore was the first to actually do it. She was always the most curious. She grasped onto his hand. I was close behind. Hell I was curious if anything. What the fuck was my brother up to? He had fooled everyone into believing he was dead so he could snipe at them from a distance? That was way worse than anything I ever did.
