It All Started At Midnight

//Twenty Eight//

Kelly read through her books anxiously, she didn't have the ability to release the dark magic from the stone she found without the original host of it. Usually, the host—the first object to be possessed with dark magic—is attached or close to the being it drains the power from. The stones Kelly found, store it's power, and are almost impossible to destroy. Once the host releases the dark magic, the stones will drain as well.

If the host remains with the dark magic, then whoever was cursed with its possession, will drain till they're nothing but bones.

The host unfortunately, must be on Tyler somewhere, hiding under everyone's eye. And it is slowly draining the fallen angel.

Kelly doesn't have much time to fix it all.

She looked at the books around her, almost having read through all of them, looking for a loophole. So far, she hasn't found anything. She was hoping there was another way to destroy the dark magic, however, nothing has come up. Kelly was terrified, Tyler was basically her son, her mother instincts were through the roof. All she knew was that needed Tyler home as soon as possible.

Knock. Knock.

The sudden noise got the angel back on her feet. She quickly put her books to the side, and rushed to the door. She desperately hoped it was Tyler. However, the person she saw was definitely more of a surprise.

"Are you Kelly Joseph? " a boy asks, standing next to another kid who Kelly has seen before with the neighbor.

"Uh yeah that's me.."

"Is Tyler here? It's a big emergency back home, he's been gone for too long.."

And apparently, Kelly wasn't the only one who needed him back at the house.

"Pizza is here!" Momma Dun cheered as she opened the front door with her husband. She looked to where the shoes were and saw a pair that looked somewhat familiar. She smiled to herself and put the box down on the table and made her way upstairs.

"Haha beat that Dun!" A cheer was heard through Josh's door.

She opened the door to see Josh and Tyler playing video games. Tyler was standing up, doing a victory dance while Josh stared at the screen, pouting. Laura laughed fondly which made her presence noticed by the teens. Tyler instantly froze, his face blushing a bright red. Josh in turn, was wheezing from laughing.

"I got your text, honey. The pizza is downstairs. Hurry before your sisters eat it all, they just got home too."

"Thanks mom." Josh wiped his eyes after he was done laughing.

"Y-yeah thanks Momma Dun.." Tyler stuttered out in embarrassment.

The two made their way downstairs. following after Laura. They sat down at the dinner table and grabbed a few slices.

"Hey Ty." Jordan patted his back.

"Sup dude."

"Heard you guys yelling in there." The younger Dun smirked.

"Jordan!" The older brother scolded.

"Hey I don't judge dude, just make sure to wear protection." He winked.

Now Tyler, was always the tough guy who never let comments like those get to him, however, he almost started choking on the pizza piece that he was swallowing. His face felt warm again and he instantly grabbed a napkin in attempt to hide his rosy face. Josh quickly started patting his back and smiled slightly at the boys reaction.

"We..we were playing Mario Kart." The angel managed to say after the coughing fit.

"Ohhh." Jordan chuckled.
