-Chapter Start-
Jacklyn smile took over her whole face as she sat by what looked like a five year old boy. The boy wiggled around on the floor, blurry bright red eyes opened. Devoted red eyes met almost identical surprised red eyes.
Lets rewind here a bit.
Jacklyn may have just turned ten, but she has been working on a very important project since she was six. After long hours studying all kinds of magic, seeing if you can incorporate it in robots, practicing said magic, taking a break and working on a side project when she got frustrated, and a shit-ton of explosions, she had done it!
First Jacklyn had built a metal exoskeleton and burned and carved runes in them. The runes would ensure that the skeleton would grow and that it would be protected. The runes would make the metal grow like they were bones, but stronger. It also, with the help of science and potions, would make the whole thing like a human body! With a blood potion and a water rune, after she adds all the extra pieces like skin and organs, would make the body be able to cry and bleed! Truly a work of genius on her part!
Second faze was growing the organs. Jacklyn of course wouldn't steal organs or kill a person for them. Instead she took a bit of her own DNA, and with a whole lot of chemicals and some questionable potions with some Black spells, she was able to grow them. Jacklyn figured if other people could clone living beings, then she can make her own organs. Of course she had to do some tweaking to them, they would be too big to fit in the body otherwise. After that, it was easy to make some skin as well.
The brain was the hardest part. She could grow one, but it would be to big. So Jacklyn looked up baby development of the brain. Although the body is a size of a five year old, with the magic she can make sure it stays that size for as long as needed. Then when the brain has caught up, and Jacklyn did not care if that took five years to never she would let it happen naturally as she could, then she can let the body start to grow with the help of the runes. So after making sure the brain would be able to grow safely inside of the constructed body, she grew one. Jacklyn then took it out when it was just like a babies, slightly more active then a newborns. That means they will essential be a baby when they awoke, and would hopefully grew mentally as the years go on.
The second to final part was putting everything together. It was a mess trying to see if everything would work together, and then there were test to make sure nothing would be harmful in the long run. Jacklyn may want this to work, but she sure as hell is not about to let this go on if it would cause the boy pain. She would just have to think of a different method. After putting the body together, Jacklyn tested the body. She put them under a x-ray to see if there were any abnormalities and to see if the magic showed up. Everything turned up fine, no magic showed up on normal X-rays which was a relief for Jacklyn.
Then finally, after four years, came the final part. All the organs and magic in the body was working perfectly, but one more piece was needed. Jacklyn had found a ritual in one of the books, a white book with peach lettering, The Wicked Done Right, and she decided it must be done. There was already so much of her DNA in the body, anyone would be suspicious if they had to go to the hospital. She could not just claim to be a sister or aunt. No, she would have to go all the way.
The ritual was actually very easy to do and had no real risks, which was quite shocking when you look at the title of the book. But it is considered a Dark ritual because of the blood and the kind of ingredients you must use to make the potion. Put the body in the middle of the circle, draw the runes around the both of them, make sure to give them a potion containing your blood, and say the magic words.
Jacklyn took in a deep breath looking at the smaller body. They are wearing a simple white gown. No recognizable features, and a plain face. That was soon about to change.
Jacklyn knelt in her own circle of runes with the white book in front of her. She raised her hands out towards the body and closed her eyes. 'I promised I would never give up on you.'
"Peto positus pro meis praedicanda videnture." Jacklyn gulped as the runes started to glow white. "Et ex semper in Matrem."
White runes slowly turned red. The bodies features twisting and turning, skin going a white color.
"Ego amabo illum, a generatione in generaionem!" Jacklyn called out as the red glow started to shine brighter and brighter. With all the red light she kept her eyes closed, never noticing her ruby choker starting to shine as well.
"Pascam eum eridire, et roboraretur." Jacklyn smiled as tears fell from her closed eyes. The bright cherry red lights were almost blinding as the ruby choker emitted a blood red light.
"Etenim iam puer," Jacklyn opened her eyes. "Spicer Jack."
The red lights exploded as the ritual hit it's end. Jacklyn forced herself to stay in her position, even as her arms started to tingle, as the lights exploded. Jacklyn panted as the lights faded into nothing, the runes gone as well. She slowly lowered her arms to her lap. Jacklyn looked to her wrist, a small rune the size of a ant was on her wrist.
'Mother'
Jacklyn's head turned so fast she almost cracked it. The body was stirring! Jacklyn quickly stood, and about fell flat on her face. Her legs had fallen asleep for kneeling for so long. So Jacklyn crawled to the body.
Soon Jacklyn was sitting by the body as blurry eyes opened. On his tiny wrist was a small rune saying 'Child.' Jacklyn smiled as wide as her face would let her. 'Finally, you are here!'
Devoted red eyes met nearly identical surprised red eyes. They shared the same white skin, red eyes, and Jacklyn could see the start of bright red hair growing.
Jacklyn smiled down and lightly grabbed his hand. The hand clinched on, not intending to let go any time soon.
"Hello Jack Spicer."
