Last time....
I sighed and looked down at my food, sometimes having a twin is terrible.

David's POV
I woke up to the sound of rain hitting the window, like it was trying to bring down the house. Thunder struck, making the house shake and vibrate, it seemed like the rain was trying to keep me from sleeping. I groaned before turning to look at my alarm clock. Eleven Forty five. I groaned and stood up, letting my feet touch the cold floor. Pulling myself out of bed, I checked on Roxy, who was absently sleeping soundly across the hall. I rolled my eyes before I quietly made my way towards the bathroom.
As I made my way back to my bedroom, I glanced in Ali's room, making sure she was okay, like usual. I sighed and then walked towards my bedroom door when I heard a creaking. I turned and towards the staircase, trying to see if someone was awake, maybe dad since he seemed like he never slept. But no one was there. I sighed and turned towards my door again when I heard the creaking again. Turning, I walked towards the stairs before carefully walking down the stairs. Glancing into the living room, no one was there. I sighed turning to the stairs when I heard a creak as the den door opened.
Lightning cracked across the sky as the thunder smacked against the house. I looked around before walking towards the den. I pushed the door open, searching the inside for whom ever had opened the door, but looking around, I found no one in the office. I was about to shut the door when a bright blue light shone in through the window. I guess it was reflecting off the moon, or a street lamp. I turned to follow the light when I noticed it had landed on an old wooden trunk, hidden in between one of the many bookcases and the wall. I turned, walking towards it to see why the light had shone on it. I faintly realised how crazy all this was, but...I was curious. As I had expected, the trunk was locked, and I didn't have the key.
With a sigh I stood up and started to walk from the room when I heard a thump. I turned around, looking at the chest with a gasp as I realised it was open, it's lid against the painted red wall. I walked towards it, peaking into the chest. Inside it was lined in red velvet and very few things stood inside. I picked up a black velvet box. I opened the lid and peaked into it. A silver cross sat with two gems on the end of the cross hands, one ruby, the other sapphire, sparkled up at me. I fingered it absent mindfully, before noticing something was inscribed on the back.
To my darling grandson David, may this help you find the strength you need to fight this fight.
It was mine? What in the world? I picked up one of the other two black boxes, flipping the first one open. Inside sat a beautiful silver necklace of three circles or ovals, whatever, intertwined with a circle around it, in each of the three ovals, a different gem sat, one sapphire, one ruby, and one amethyst, then, where the ovals all met sat a diamond. I turned it around, reading the inscription.
Darling Roxanna, know your family will always be with you, even in times when you feel alone, just remember we're here.
Setting that down I picked up the last box and flipped it open, staring at a beautiful sun, each of the sun rays had a sapphire gem sitting on the end and a diamond sat in the middle of the sun. I flipped it over, already knowing who it was too.
Baby Alison, may this give you the light when the darkness seems to conquer. We will always love you.
Baby Alison? Ali was ten...Why in the world would it say baby? Were we suppose to get these when we were younger? I put the velvet box down and looked back into the chest, and picked up a small dagger that was sitting in the box, it was silver with a gold handle with Roxy's necklace design carved into the handle. I set it down before pulling out a small amethyst crystal tied to a string before noticing a big book sitting at the bottom. I picked up the book, brushing a bit of dust off the cover. It was a green cover with the same design that Roxy had for a necklace, three ovals intertwined with one circle. Opening to the first page I read it out loud, as thunder smacked again.
"The Book of Shadows?"
Flipping to the next page I began reading.
"Hear now the words of the witches
The secrets we hid in the night
The oldest of gods are invoked here
The great work of magic is sought
In this night and in this hour
I call upon the ancient power
Bring your powers to we siblings three
We want the power
Give us the power."
Power? What in the world did that mean? I sighed, it was probably just a stupid book. Maybe an old heir loom, and the necklaces were probably Christmas gifts. I sighed and put the stuff back in the chest before closing it and walking back up to my room, I should have just gone back to bed in the first place.
