Not Easy Being Me ch 1

"You will not believe what spell I found in my book just a few minutes ago." Marvin beamed to Chase, who was sitting at the dinning room table, playing on his phone.

Chase looked up at the magician arching an eye brow, with a grin on his face. "What did ya find Marv?"

Marvin happily slammed the book down on the table causing Chase to jump. He pointed at the title. "This says corporis verto." He began looking from the book to Chase, with a smile. "Do you know what that's Latin for?"

Chase only shrugged shaking his head with a small smile, waiting for him to answer.

"It's Latin for 'body swap' or another is 'body exchange'." Marvin explained, turning the book back around reading the text. "It says here that this spell is able to take two victim's souls and place them in the others body forcing the victims to live in the other's shoes."

Chase thought for a moment his eyes wide with wonder. "That's interesting. So your saying that this spell could like, I don't know put your soul in my body and mine in yours?"

Marvin grinned nodding. "That's exactly what I'm saying." He began, before putting a finger up. "How ever, this spell is not for fun. This is one of those teachable moment spells." He began to read the next part. "It says here to only use the spell on victims that are fighting with each other. The spell us suppose to show them life in the other person's shoes, to show them what they are going through."

"Life in the other ones shoes you say... how i̷n̷t̷e̷r̷e̷s̷t̷i̷n̷g̷."

Both Chase and Marvin froze, hearing a dark glitch like giggle behind them. They slowly turned around to see Anti leaning on the door frame that led to the living room, flipping a kitchen knife in his hands, grinning at both of them. "What's that spell called again Marv?"

Marvin's features harden as he hid the book right behind him, back away slightly. "Why do you want to know?" He snapped at the glitch demon, his eyes glowing slightly.

Anti just grinned as he walked further in, cleaning his knife with his shirt. "I have... business... to take care of and that spell could be rather useful to me." He explained looking from his knife to Marvin.

"Business?" Chase scuffed shaking his head, as he put his phone away. "Sounds like revenge to me."

Anti's smile wavered staring at the vlogger ego. "The only business you should be minding is your own Brody." Anti hissed clutching the hilt of his knife rather tightly.

"Enough Anti, leave us alone!" Marvin snapped breaking the tension between Chase and him.

"Not until I get that spell." Anti growled black eyes glaring at Marvin.

"Well your not getting this spell Anti, because the answer is no." Marvin smarted, turning from Anti, about to put the book in his room, when Anti teleported right in front of him causing him to jump, his bravery vanishing the longer he stared into Anti's black eyes.

"Oh that's cute Marvin." He grinned tilting his head. "You think you have a choice."

Anti snapped his fingers, causing the book to fly into his grasp before waving a hand, sending Marvin and Chase flying across the room.

Marvin shook his head as his eyes snapped open in anger, watching was Anti was about to leave. "HEY!" he yelled running at him. "DON'T YOU DARE-!"

Anti spun around waving a hand, his voice like static. "S̸͈̳͕̀l̸̟͎͖̉é̵̛̦ͅë̴̹̻̉͛p̵̛̩̈́͌."

Marvin suddenly froze in place, his glowing eyes dimming as they were replaced with static. He blinked a couple of times before falling over, his eyes fluttering closed.
