Read and review! Read and review! Read and review! I'm not psycho!

"This is going to be hard to explain," Lauren said, putting her hand on Matthew's shoulder, "and even harder to believe, but I need y'all to just listen for a while."

"Uh oh," Wesley said, "drama."

"You three," Lauren said hesitantly, "are, for lack of a better word, witches. I'm not talking about any television variety kind. I mean actual witches. You each have powers...gifts...that were passed down to you from, well...us."

"You?" Matthew asked. "That's impossible. That would make you our..."

"Parents," Erik said. "We knew about the Prophecy of the Complete, but we also wanted each of you to have normal lives at any cost. We didn't want y'all to grow up like we did. We didn't live day to day, like normal people did. We had to live demon to demon."

"Not too nice," Lauren said, trying to lighten the mood. "Anyway, it seemed that every evil somebody wanted to get their hands on y'all, so we had no choice but to send y'all to foster homes and bind your powers. We made sure that each of you were taken good care of, even though it broke our hearts to lose y'all."

"At any cost," Erik said, wiping tears from Lauren's eyes, "our primary concern was your well being. Earlier, while we were fighting a demon, the Book started to glow. Lauren told me that the only time it would glow was when the three of you were together...again."

"We knew that we had to find you," Lauren continued, "because once the three of you came together, your powers would become unbound. At the same time, y'all would be back on the radars of all the demons, warlocks, and whoever."

"Where's the hidden camera?" Wesley asked. "I mean, there is no way that any of this is true! You two cannot possibly be my parents. First of all, my family lives in Texas. Second of all, even if I was adopted, everybody in this room is white. I, on the other hand, am not. It is damn near impossible that the two of y'all...begat me! So let's talk about that for a moment, then!"

"It's not the right time for that now," Lauren said, shooting a cold stare at Erik, who was about to say something. "We need to fill y'all in on too many other things."

"Right," Erik said, rolling his eyes. "You've obviously read the spell in the Book, unlocking it to y'all. That means that y'all are the Complete, the three most powerful witches the world will ever know. And as such, it's your job to protect the world."

"From what?" James asked.

"From," Erik said, lowering his head, "all the forces of evil."

"It's your destiny," Lauren said, picking up Erik's slack. "You can't run away from it. You three were born to do this. Believe it or not, you three were supposed to go to the same college and meet each other. All of this was supposed to happen because it's all part of your destiny."

"I was just joking about the 'having bossy big brothers' thing earlier," Wesley said. "But let me ask you this; who attacked us earlier tonight?"

"They're after you," Lauren said. "That was one of many demons and warlocks who will come after you from now on. You need to learn how to use your powers now so that you can protect yourselves.

"The Prophecy foretold of three powers that would come together in three brothers who would have the power to defeat all evil in the world: the power to move things with the mind, the power to move through things as if they weren't there, and the power to stop time. Through the generations, these powers have moved from person to person, but they have never coexisted in the same time until now. Together, you three are inseparable and more powerful than you could ever imagine. The bond you will form with each other, as brothers, is the foundation of your powers. It is what makes your power complete. That's why y'all are called the Complete."

"The Book of Light," Erik continued, "has been in our family for hundreds of years. It began as a few scraps of paper and has grown to what it is today. Your ancestors have all added spells and potions that will help you on your way. Each generation before you has added something valuable in it. It holds a lot of power. Without it, you three are very vulnerable."

"But it repels itself against evil," Lauren explained. "so don't let him scare y'all."

"I'm sorry," Wesley said, "but I let him scare me. Everything I'm hearing sounds like something out of a sci-fi novel."

"It is pretty hard to believe," Matthew added.

"But," James said, "I don't think we would've shown up here if some part of us wanted it to be real, especially after what we've seen. I mean, yeah it's a big shock, but if things have been happening so far, the least we could do is believe them."

"But think about this," Wesley suggested. "We all have our own families back home. We can't desert them. We have our own lives. We're in college. It's a crazy time for normal people. Think about what this is gonna do to our lives. It's basically gonna destroy them. I'm sixteen years old. I do not want to sacrifice the best years of my life to save the world. As selfish as that sounds, I want to be a normal person. Is that too much to ask?"

"Yes," Matthew answered, getting a strange look from Wesley and James.

"Wait," James said, interrupting Matthew. "You're only sixteen?"

"I'll be seventeen in October," Wesley claimed.

"The point I was trying to make," Matthew cut in, "was that I've had a lot of time to think while everybody's been talking. Before, I said it's hard to believe, which is true, but Jimmy's right...for once. It could be seen as a gift or a curse and I don't want any curses in my life anytime soon. I think we should do it as well."

"What do you think, Wesley?" Lauren asked.

"Majority rules in this family," Erik and James said at the same time.

"Well we know they're related," Matthew said.

"I think," Wesley began, "that if Matt and Jimmy want to go along with this, then I don't have much of a choice."

"Don't just say it because you feel you have to," Lauren said. "Say it because it's your decision."

"It is my decision," Wesley said after a long silence. "I'm on the demonic 'hit list' or whatever. I might as well learn how to watch my back."

Sorry! I don't mean to sound like this crazy guy who gets off on getting reviews. They're really trivial, but they just make me feel like all this writing's not in vain!
