(Beck's POV)
We decided to meet at Robbie's after school, so they caught a ride with me. Robbie was practically bouncing in his seat, excited to try his little insane experiment. Andre and I were only going to sit there and laugh at him when it doesn't work. Robbie ditched Rex a while back, but only uses him when he has to perform somewhere for a comedy act. He started getting into trying weird thing, including unorthodox experiments.
And for some reason, he always wanted me and Andre to be there. Whatever works, I guess. It's always a laugh to see him pout when it fails on him.
We head into his small house and immediately head down to the basement, where his "lab" is. It's nothing special, really. He just likes to think of it that way. He explains everything to us, but it just goes in one ear and out the other for me. I see him bring out a large book from a shelf and I read the title.
"What the crap?" I question. "Rob, that's a book of witchcraft. Are you nuts?"
"I just explain to you that I've been experimenting with this stuff! Don't you listen to a word I say?" Robbie snaps at me.
I shake my head. "I try not to."
"Same." Andre nods. "So where's the hamster?" Andre motions to the empty cage that has the door open.
Robbie gasps. "NO!" He runs around the basement. "Help me find him!"
We groan in annoyance, but we get down on our hands and knees, searching for the little rat animal. "Oh, come out, come out, you little weasel." Andre calls out.
I chuckle. "It's not a weasel, it's a small rat."
"It's a hamster!" Robbie yells at us. He's under a work table by the wall. He leans up and I see him slam his head on it, yelping in pain. "OW!"
I burst into laughter, and so does Andre. I move something out of my way to keep looking, but I cringe when I see the dead hamster. "I'm sorry to disappoint you, Rob, but your little pet found a mousetrap." I say in disgust.
"Aw, man!" Robbie walks over and sees. "Dang!"
"Why do you have mousetraps?" Andre asks, getting off his hands and knees, like I do.
"When we first moved into this house last year, we had mice everywhere." Robbie frowns. "I guess we just forgot one of the traps down here."
"I'm guessing so." Andre sighs. "So now what?"
Robbie walks to his book on the table in the middle of the basement. "It says it can work on anything, including humans."
I grin. "I volunteer." I raise my hand a little.
"Seriously, Beck?" Robbie asks me in shock.
"Yeah, why not?" I shrug. "This witchcraft stuff never works, Rob. So it really doesn't matter. Trust me. I'll be fine."
"I agree." Andre joins in. "I'm not trying anything though. I'll leave that to daredevil Beck Oliver."
It's true. I fear nothing…except losing my girlfriend. It's a good thing she's in the safety of Jade, who I trust to protect her. Cat's life means more to me than my own. I'd do anything to make sure she's safe and sound.
"So what do we need to do?" I ask.
"Okay, we need one of your hairs, a picture of a dog you want to "turn" into, and a crayon of a color, but it has to be a natural color, like black or brown." Robbie looks at me. "Are you sure you want to do this? What if I do this right? You'll be a dog."
I laugh, along with Andre. "Robbie, I'm sorry to disappoint you, again, but I'm 100 percent sure this experiment of yours won't work."
Robbie glares at me. "Oh really? I'll prove you wrong!" He sighs and looks back at his book. "So we need three candles, draw a triangle and put the candles on the corners of it. We put the hair, the picture, and crayon in the middle. There's a spell in here I have to repeat over and over until something happens."
"What will happen?" Andre asks.
"I don't know." Robbie shrugs. "Maybe that's when Beck turns into a dog."
"Yes, that's exactly it." I roll my eyes. "Okay, let's go get the stuff."
As Robbie looks for a crayon, Andre and I head to his computer that's hooked up to a printer. I go to "Google" and search for pictures of dogs. There's so many dogs, I realize I should probably do something else. "Huh."
"I can see you as a poodle." Andre suddenly suggests.
I elbow him in the gut, since he's right behind me and he doubles over to the ground in pain. "Shut up." I mumble as I search through the dogs. About a couple minutes later, I grin. "Here we go."
Andre is still in pain. "What dog?"
"Great Dane." I press print and I hear it printing. "Now we need for Robbie to get the crayon."
"And a hair of yours." Andre points out.
I sigh. "My poor hair. Anyways, we'll do that downstairs."
Andre chuckles after I grab the picture and we head out of the living room. "I cannot believe you're doing this. It's hilarious."
"Don't tell Cat about this." I tell him. "She'll kill me if she knew that I did this."
"Yes, she would." Andre agreed. We almost bump into Robbie, who's out of breath. "Why are you all tired?"
Robbie grins suddenly. "I'm just excited for this!"
I roll my eyes. "Did you get the crayons?"
He holds out three colors. Brown, black, tan, and grey. I pick the black. I'd be a cool black Great Dane…too bad I'm not going to be. This witchcraft crap won't work. I can't believe Robbie's wrapped himself up in this stuff. We head back downstairs and set up everything. We get the candles and light them, while Robbie draws the triangle on the table with some white chalk. He puts the crayon and picture in the middle.
"And now a hair." He tells me.
I frown. My poor, poor hair. Next to Cat, my hair is very special to me. I give up and pluck out a single brown hair and put it in the triangle.
Robbie looks at the book as we stand back a little. "Okay…I'm going to say this and then you guys have to repeat it with me. It says everyone present must join in."
We shrug. "Whatever." Andre says. "Let's get this over with so we can make fun of you for it not working."
"And then we'll take you out and try to find you a girlfriend so you can have a life." I add on.
"Joke all you want!" He yells at us. "I hope this works, so you guys can get this thrown back in your face!"
"Whatever you say, dude." I chuckle. "Let's do this."
"Okay…" He takes a deep breath. "I call on the spirits with powers beyond our world and come to us, give us the power to turn this human into the four legged animal of choice." He looks to us.
We nod and join in.
"I call on the spirits with powers beyond our world and come to us, give us the power to turn this human into the four legged animal of choice. I call on the spirits with powers beyond our world and come to us, give us the power to turn this human into the four legged animal of choice. I call on the spirits with powers beyond our world and come to us, give us the power to turn this human into the four legged animal of choice."
Suddenly the chalk triangle lights up and we gasp.
What the heck is going on?
"Robbie, what did you do?" I ask him.
"If you're trying to freak us out, it's working, alright?" Andre says in fear when the light grows.
Robbie looks scared. "I'm not doing this!"
I gulp.
Why do I feel funny?
Suddenly, the light explodes and everything goes black.
Preview for chapter 3: Beck's Such a Dog
I whimper. I hate sounding weak, but I'm in a dilemma here. "Call Cat." I tell them. When they don't move, I bark again. "CALL CAT! BARK! BARK!"
Andre rushes to grab his phone from his pocket and dials Cat's number, calling her.
Robbie looks to me. "Beck, are you sure? Cat's going to be devastated!"
My eyes widened. She won't be able to handle news like this! "Wait, Andre, hang-"
"Lil' Red, you need to come to Robbie's ASAP!" Andre shouts into the phone.
I groan.
I hear her panicking over the phone.
