Authors note: Yay second chapter as promised! Please review, I'm getting lonely!

Disclaimer: (Cos everyone seems to have one!) I do not own Johnny Depp or Pirates of the Caribbean (yet! Muhahahahahaha!) And if I did there would probably be waaaayy more Johnny Depp seens (most probably topless!) Wow now I sound creepy!

Anywho,,, enjoy!

Yours sincerely,

The Red Crayon

Candles, Lemonade and Voodoo Spells

"Pass me those candles and where is your lighter?" Ellie asked bustling round my room. She was always doing crazy things. One time at a fair, she was tarot and crystal reading people. It was rather amusing. Some very strange people went to try it though. Apparently, I'm going to marry someone who has a green beard…

She found my stash of candles in my top drawer. Next to my secret stash of lighters. (I only use them in power cuts, birthdays or when I'm bored.) Never play with lighters kids! (Matches are obviously fine, KIDDING!)

"Do you want red, blue, green, orange or the small blue one?" I asked pulling them out of the box they were concealed in.

"How the hell have you got all of these? You are only 15!" She asked incredulously.

"Now is not the time!" I said smirking. I like leaving people in suspense, (it was one of my many talents), also lying and word searches. We found the packets of salt I had pilfered from KFC and laid the candles out in a star shape. She then proceeded to open the packets and sprinkled the salt on my clean (ish) red carpet.

"You better clean this up or I will go ninja on your ass!" I said glaring menacingly at her.

She just looked at me and smothered me with a pillow. (Where were we getting all these pillows from?)

Ellie fumbled with the catch on the lighter. I knew I would soon need to step in.

"Lilly can you light these please? You know what happened last time I tried!" She said passing them to me.

Hahahahaha how could anyone ever forget? Least of all Rebecca…

FLASHBACK

We were in science about to use Bunsen burners and usually Mrs Morgan lets me light the first one. However, I was busy putting on her lab coat and posing for photos (as you do). Ellie was attempting to light a Bunsen and kept breaking the matches. When she finally got one lit she panicked and dropped it. Unfortunately Rebecca was stood next to her, and not wearing an apron. (Bad Rebecca, remember SAFETY FIRST!). Well you can guess what happened next… Now Rebecca stays away from Ellie during science, and most other lessons.

So anyway, I started to light the candles while Ellie started chanting. I think it's all the pillows to the face that makes her crazy. Poor soul. I needed lemonade. All this craziness was making me dizzy.

"Yolho, Ichabod, Popo-sy, Deppuss, Islandy…"

She was really freaking me out. And I don't get freaked out easily! To calm my nerves I drank some lemonade. Yum sugar!

"Quick call on the spirits!" Ellie whispered breathily. She was really losing it.

"Vodka, whiskey, Jack Daniels, rum!" I said sarcastically, Ellie slapped me. Great. She was supposedly the nice one.

"We call upon the powers of the gods!" she called. "Come forth and accept our offerings! We are your humble servants!"

Now she was really, REALLY losing it. Like more than normally. Quite scarily so. Honestly I didn't believe in it but she was making it dramatic and convincing. Silly Ellie. Less sugar for her next time I think.

"Say the words!" She chanted. I just looked at her.

"No." I said crossing my arms. I was in dire need of looking at Johnny Depp. She wasn't helping my condition.

"Say it!" She said poking me in the ear. I hate it when people do that!

"No."

"Yes."

"NO!"

"Do it or I will jab you in the ear everyday for a month and I won't let you talk about your dear 'Mr Depp'!" She threatened.

THE FIEND!

"I hate you." I said glaring at her. She just smiled scarily. Very scarily I might add. Like a cross between Cheshire cat and Ashcroft. Oh god.

"Venus, goddess of love" I muttered. I wanted to beat her up by this point. Also I wanted to watch the next pirate film, but she wouldn't let me. She had hid the remote somewhere...

"Poseidon, god of the sea!" Ellie said closing her eyes and spreading out her hands, palms up. She was taking this very seriously.

"Athena, goddess of wisdom!"

"Dionysus, god of wine." Ellie carried on. I swear she was making this up as she went along. Because, if I haven't already mentioned, she is a complete loon, a hoot, a crazy. And she was always going on about Star Wars and Thunderbirds. I would soon need to beat it out of her, it's the only way.

"Apollo, god of music!" I said imitating a harp. (I'm not sure why, but I have had a lot of lemonade though.)

"Isis, goddess of protection! Protect our wandering spirits!" She added.

"CALYPSO!" Me and Ellie shouted together no longer caring whom we woke up. I wondered how long it would be till my parents came in shouting for us shouting (yeah they would do that) and seeing the candles lit. They probably wouldn't approve of me having lighters, and I don't even smoke! (Because it's nasty!). But they didn't come. In fact everything went completely silent. We couldn't even hear the snoring in the next room. "Shit." I thought.

The candles flickered and went out. Strange other worldly noises could be heard. I turned to Ellie shocked as the last of the light faded from the room. I could hear her whimpering slightly. I was just...sorta...I dunno. Kinda scared? But then again, the climax was awesome!

Suddenly we were thrown forward and my whole body lurched. I could feel myself being stretched, flattened and generally flummoxed in the complete darkness. My senses were heightened and I knew Ellie was no longer next to me. Strangely I wasn't worried. Almost as if, subconsciously, I had expected something mysterious like this to happen. Wow I was weird!

Without much more thought I came crashing down onto hard, cold ground. I shut my eyes tight and let my other senses take over. The smells, the noise, the air; it all seemed so different, yet so familiar...

A/U: Hope you enjoyed it! And yes,, please review!
