Disclaimer: I do not own any of the Charm character's, but I wish I did. The good news is I do own the characters that I make up. This almost a sequal to my story All for a Better Future, but not really since Jordan and Nicole are not mentioned in it, but you do get to meet Jordan's mother. This takes place in the changed future Wyatt and Chris don't know about magic.
The street was quiet except for three young kids riding their bikes. There was no talking among them, the only sound made was their bikes as the pedaled hard as if they had a purpose and had to be some where. The eldest of the three stopped catching the other two by surprise.
"Why did you do that Wy?" the younger boy asked his older brother
"You know that house is haunted." He pointed to the red house with the "For Sale" sign in front of it. The house looked out of place with the other houses around it. Ivy was growing all over it and it needed a new paint job, it looked like a typical haunted house
"And your point is?" the only girl in the group asked
"No one has lived in it for years; they say the last people to live here were witches."
"Wow I'm scared." The younger boy asked taking off his helmet reviling his messy brown hair.
"You should be the people say that this house is cursed. When people walk by they say that they can smell the potions brewing and hear the cackling of the witches. And if anyone dares to enter they will be killed by some unknown force."
"Well then, let's go in." the girl got off her bike and put the kickstand down. She took off her helmet letting her long blond hair free before walking towards the door.
"You can't go in." Wyatt said
"Why not, I'm not afraid of any witches."
"Same here." The youngest boy added
"Well then since you two are so fearless, let's make a bet."
"What are we talking about?"
"Let's see who can stay inside the house the longest."
"Sounds interesting."
"Tomorrow night we will all meet back here and go in. Whoever can stay inside the longest is the winner."
"What do we get if we win?"
"You can make the other two do whatever you want."
"Sounds good to me." The girl put her hand out
"Me too." The youngest boy did the same
"Now you have to promise that you won't tell anyone, not even Mel." Wyatt turned to the girl at the last comment before putting his hand in
"Promise." They all said
"The bet is on." They all raised their hands up before getting on their bikes and continued riding.
"Hey Lizzy are you staying for dinner?" the youngest boy asked
"Can't my mom wants me home, I think I might have family coming over. But I'm not really sure, but I'm already late so I'll see you two tomorrow night."
"You two are such a cute couple." Wyatt said as the two pushed their bikes into the garage.
"Shut up Wy, we are just friends."
"Uh huh, whatever you say Chris."
"Stop it." Chris tried to hit his older brother, but he ducked just in time.
"Ha you missed." Chris tried to hit Wyatt again, but he ran away. Chris ran after him trying to catch up.
"Boys fighting in the house." Their mother said warningly
"Sorry." They mumbled
"Now go wash up dinner is almost ready."
"So are you scared?" Wyatt asked later that night coming into Chris's room
"About what?" Chris asked ignoring his brother
"Going into the haunted house."
"No."
"Well you should be."
"And why is that?" Chris turned around to face his brother
"Because it is a haunted house and you could die."
"You want me to give up now don't you. Well that isn't going to happen. Nice try bro."
"I was only looking out for you, you're my little brother and I have to protect you."
"Wyatt, I'm 10 and I am going to be fine, now if you will excuse me I am going to go to bed so I will be able to stay up all night tomorrow. Good night." Chris pushed Wyatt out of the door, closing it after he left.
