The Baby Witch

Chapter 11.

"They are starting to come back."

My mind starts racing and my heart rate spikes. What does Annabelle mean 'They are starting to come back'?. I jump to ask her.

"I can feel them coming back." She answers my question before I can even ask. I start to freak out more. I decided to get my laptop to look at the spells I had saved for us to do. Annabelle catches on to what I'm doing and has a look in her spellbook, the one she brought to school ages ago. We are both silent for a while until Annabelle speaks up and brings to my attention that she has found a spell that we could do. I read it and by the looks of it, it looks like we will perform it. It's a simple chant to get rid of all hordes of demons, I make a mental note to take a picture of it in case I need to do it again.

I go grab some white tea light candles mum uses for her oil burners and light them around us in a circle. We grab our protection stones and hold them tight as well start to practice the chant. Annabelle decides to read the instructions to then say the chant with me in sync. We don't succeed at first, we keep trying to get it down pat. We are in perfect syncretism that if one of us muck up the other does as well. After 50 times we finally get it perfect we say the chant again to set it in stone then stop and put the book away.

Annabelle turns to me and says "they are gone" with a massive smile on her face. I start to cheer at our success. I look at the time and see how late it is, mum should be home by now. I look over to Annabelle and I see how tired she seems, I myself and very tired even tho it not too late of a night for me. She says that the lady is gone.

The statement reminds me of earlier throughout the night how 'the lady' was tickling Annabelle's feet and distracting her from a game she was playing on her phone making her loose. It reminds me that Annabelle said the lady likes me, that she thinks I'm smarter, funnier and nicer than Annabelle. I thanked the lady at the time, but if the lady left it must have meant she was bad because that spell was to get rid of evil. I'm just so confused since she was helping Annabelle, she helped her point out my Nana Rosa. I get my laptop out again and look up 'signs a spirit is bad'.

There are heaps of websites, I click the first one and read them out to Annabelle, we answer each point with a yes or a no. They were both equal so I come to the conclusion that 'the lady' is neutral but Annabelle isn't so sure, she thinks she more bad than good.

"I'm going to go get some Vanilla Coke. Want some?"

"Nah I'm good thanks" I reply, rolling my eyes at her crazy obsession with the drink. When she comes back with the giant bottle in her hand I'm scrolling through Instagram and Annabelle's account pops up.

'@Belleleanne04 49.8k followers 91 posts and 2,178 following.' It reminds me how on all her accounts it's 'Belle', her preferred nickname but I never call her that I say her full name. She asks me a question and I look up from my phone.

" wanna do a strength spell? I can feel her trying to come back." I'm down to do another spell so we found yet another one. She chose some but we need sunlight for but it's the witching hour meaning sunlight is far gone. I point out to her that the sunlight is gone and she replies with " through the flame of the candles we can channel the sunlight shining on the other side of the earth." I look at her dumbfounded not expecting her to say that she starts humming a song concentrating on the little flames around her. I didn't ask what she was doing because I already knew.

She starts to say the spell out loud I wait till she's done and she hops out of the circle of candles and stones to let me in I read out the spell myself and I feel weird. I feel sooo drained but I'm not tired. It feels like I need to go to sleep but I could stay up for hours. I lay on my bed and on my phone waiting for mum to come back she's still not back yet. Annabelle asks if we could do one last spell, I ask her way since I'm about to fall asleep and she responds saying.

"Nana Rosa just told me that you need protection soon so she asking me to help you do it now." My eyes widen and I agree to do the third and final spell of the night. All we had to do was say a couple of words and visualise an orange light emitting off a piece of jewellery we wear every day then we visualise a white bubble around our bodies protecting us. After successfully doing the final spell I crash out and doze in and had a nap till mum came home.

As I wake up I feel safe, I know the spell worked, Nana Rosa is with me like actually always there looking over me. I know that I've spoken to my ancestors all of them except two, I know that I can talk to them whenever I want. I know that they are there for me. I get Annabelle up so she can get ready since her parent will pick her up very soon. I make sure all her stuff is packed before someone texts her and I walk her out to her parent's car.

When my mum wakes up we go grocery shopping and I unload everything I learned from last night on her, she is surprised, to say the least. I tell her everything about Nana Rosa and she is so happy, I nearly start crying retelling all the information. I don't tell her anything about the spells because I don't want her to worry, I know I should but I don't.

"Guys so what are we getting each other for secret Santa?" Ella says and abbey agrees. We decide to pull names out of a hat, we all write our names down and put them in a lunch container since it's all we had. I pull out my name first then I redrew and got Alyssa H. What should I get her? After the bell went Tj comes over to me and hands me a little pouch labelled 'mum' (my nickname since I'm the mother friend). I open it and 5 stones fall out and they are all so beautiful and unique I love them, I text Tj immediately and say thank you.

sooooo school is back and I'm not happy about that. I'm kind of struggling with religion rn I believe in multiple deities and they are trying to win me over. anyway I hope everyone had a good day or has a good day or even night. I love you all thank you for reading the book its coming to the end I already know how im going to end the book. im not sure when im going to write the last chapter tho since imm back at school. I know there's lots of mistakes and im sorry for that, I red over it and sometimes I can't spot them I also use an editing app but still somehow the mistakes still arise.
