I sat in my room on my bed holding my guitar, strumming a few cords trying to figure out the melody to a song that I started to come up with last night at practice with my band.
"This is the hardest part when your feel like fading
All that you had is become unreal, collapsing and aching
All that I want
All that I want was right here"
There was a knock on my door and I looked up and saw my oldest brother Wyatt standing in the doorway smiling at me. "Nice song, sad lyrics."
"Thanks, Wy. When did you get home, I thought you and Madison were on your honeymoon?"
"We were but a Demon attacked and she is upstairs with Chris and Bianca looking threw the book, I just came down to say hi when I heard your guitar playing and you singing. When did you write that song?"
"Um, it just came to me a few days ago when singing at practice with the band. They all miss your crazy guitar antics but I couldn't write it down at the moment but I did after and I plan on showing them tonight if I get it finished."
"No doubt that you will, Mel, but at the moment you want to help fight a demon that we are going to have to go after."
"Really?"
"Yeah, your 17, the age we both started at that age. Chris doesn't like it but I get to choose cause… oldest."
"No duh," I said as I placed my guitar down and got up to walk up with him to the attic.
Once inside, I saw Chris and Bianca standing over by the caldron, as I called it, with the Book, probably making a potion for whatever demon that had attacked Wyatt and Madison.
"Hey, Dudes…. Have you blown anything up yet?"
Everyone thought that Chris got all of mom's cooking and potion skills, if they knew about them being witches. But nope, while he did get some, I got more and I frequently had to clean up after him and Wyatt failed to make one… with all the powers that those to have, you would think that they could make a simple potion to kill something. Again, nope.
"Funny, Mel, funny, now get your little but over here and bring some rose petals."
As I passed the table I grabbed a hand full but when I got near I looked in the book and saw what they were making. I then turned around and grabbed rose wood and walked back and threw that in. Then the small boom happened that shocked everyone.
"What did you do?" Chris yelled as he helped Bianca off the ground. "I said to bring rose petals…"
"Yeah and then after those went in I would have been picking pieces of you two off of the walls. And I would rather not do that." I stated in a calm and clear voice.
Wyatt was looking in the book and was laughing as he said, "she is so right Chris, you looked at the wrong page. Must have seen rose and then saw rose on the other page first and used that one. Good job Mel."
Chris had walked over to the book and saw that I was right.
"Ewwww! A Darphire Demon, gross, so not coming and helping you fight that… never mind Wyatt, you two boys have fun, I've got band rehearsal. Mom is letting us play at P3 in a few days and I think the new song would be fun to play. Got to go, bye… have fun…" I said as I raced out of the attic to my room to get my guitar, notebook and skateboard to leave and to get to Taylor's house on time.
"Mel!"
"By Wyatt! Bye Chris! Have Fun!"
I could hear the cursing in the attic as I raced down the front steps to the street and jumped on my skateboard and took off down the hill.
