(With the spell said the room began to rumble. From the book three small lights shot from the page. Each of the lights flew into the air and began to fly around in a frantic search hoping to find the rightful owners. One stopped in front of each teen and pushed into their chests. They fell backward against the table and stumbled forward.)
Chadwick: Uh...
Kacy: What the hell just happened?
Megan: You didn't see?
Kacy: I mean that was too weird.
Chadwick: Do you guys think this is real?
Megan: I don't know but...we got to get out of here.
(Right then the door opened revealing their small, calico, fluffy cat. A second later the power returned to the house.)
Chadwick: Thursday.
Kacy: Where have you been?
(The small cat walked around the teens and then flicked its tail and left. Chadwick stayed as the girls rushed down the stairs. He picked some things up and set the book inside the chest before closing it. He stuck the ancient key in his pocket, blew out the candles and walked downstairs.)
Chadwick: Hey, has anyone seen Ben?
Kacy: Nope not since before this whole attic deal.
Megan: Maybe he is in the bathroom.
Chadwick: You guys...we cant tell anyone about this yet. Just keep it on the down low.
Kacy: Alright.
Megan: Ok...hey look the weather it cleared up.
Chadwick: Yeah it did. (He walked to the bathroom to see the door open with no signs of anyone in there.) No signs of Ben.
Kacy: Maybe he left for school.
Megan: Maybe. How long have we been home?
Chadwick: (looks at the microwave clock.) I would say about an hour and a half. So not that long.
Kacy: Well we should get back to school.
Megan: Yeah let's go.
Chadwick: One sec., I'm gonna try Ben. ( He picked up the phone and dialed his best-friends number.)
Ben: Hello...
Chadwick: Hey, how did you get home?
Ben: What are you talking about? I've never left.
Chadwick: When we came and got you and then we shot back to my house cuz of the storm.
Ben: Dude, you just woke me up. Mum let me stay home because of this bug I caught.
Chadwick: Are you serious?
Ben: Totally.
Chadwick: Well, get better, see ya. Bye
Ben: Bye. (Chadwick hung up the phone.)
Chadwick: Ben never left his bed.
Kacy: Whatever he was with us.
Megan: Are you serious?
Chadwick: Why has all this strange stuff been happening? A Ben look-alike, the power, the attic, the book and all that stuff. Something isn't right. Do you think all of this stuff is real and mom and dad have been hiding it.
Megan: I don't know, its just a weird feeling that I am getting. (Megan was standing in a puddle of water and while she talked it grew.) Watch out Kacy there's a leak.
Kacy: Oops. (She stepped out of the way.)
Chadwick: Oh yeah! This key. (He pulled it out of his pocket.) On the top there is the symbol of the one gems surrounded by 4. This same symbol was on the chest, the book and a lot of other things in that chest. When each of us touched it one of the gems glowed. When I touched it the amber one glowed, when Kacy touched it the blue gem glowed and when Megan touched it the white one at the top glowed. Its weird I know, but I think this is all real.
Kacy: Yeah, I know what you mean, it just all feels right.
(After that sentence the door opened. Their mother walked in.)
Amy: Why are all of you here?
Chadwick: Listen before you get mad. We were on the way to the school and then the storm was just way to bad to drive in. We pulled over and I brought us back home.
Kacy: Yeah we were only staying until the storm ended.
Megan: But then the power went out and then we got locked in the attic and found some old stuff and then we said this little spell and these lights hit us, it was weird. Oh yeah do you know what this key is for?
(Chadwick and Kacy turned around and gave Megan the evil eye.)
Megan: Oops...
Amy: What all did you kids find?
Kacy: Just that Book of Shadows and some other things.
Chadwick: And we also found a spell page that mentioned powers, so we said it and got hit with these little lights.
Amy: What spell?
Megan: The one to receive powers or something.
Amy: Oh no...oh no...Ok I have a lot of explaining to do.
