Hi! Hopefully y'all read my first story, "A Complete Beginning: A New Prophecy." This is the second story in the series. I was inspired for a minute, so I started drafting something. Hope y'all like it!
"You've got to be kidding!" Wesley said to James, who was busy arranging some candles into a circle. "You can't do that!"
"Yes, I can," James replied, not bothering to look up. "I can do whatever I want. I'm nineteen years old."
"That's besides the point," Wesley said. "We've been witches for like three days and now you want to conduct a séance? Not only is that weird, but it's gross. I'm not gonna be a part of that."
"Yes, you are," James said. "We all need to be here to do it. Besides, don't you want to talk to our real parents, or at least find out who your real father is?"
"As much as that sweetens the pot," Wesley said dryly, "I think not."
"I thought I'd find you here," Matthew said to Wesley as he walked into James' dorm room. "You two up for dinner?"
"Yes!" Wesley exclaimed, jumping up. "Anything to get me out of this! Matt, your brother's trying to do a séance."
"A séance?" Matthew asked. "Why?"
"Unlike you two," James said, "I'd like to find out more about my family, my real family. I want to learn as much as I can. I would think that y'all would feel the same way."
"Yeah," Matthew said, "but I think you're going about it the wrong way. Don't you know that all kinds of things can go wrong?"
"Like what?" James said. "I'm following all the directions here in the Book. I have everything here, including the two of y'all. All that's left is to wait for midnight. What do you say?"
"Tell him no," Wesley said to Matthew.
"No," Matthew said.
"Good boy," Wesley said, patting Matthew's back. "Let's go eat."
Matthew and Wesley left James in his room and went to the school cafeteria. James stayed in his room, making sure that everything was in order before he left himself. He didn't understand why he was alone on this; surely his own brothers would want to know about their new family, their real family. He wanted to, for sure. In fact, since finding out he was a witch a few days earlier, it seemed as though he had thrown himself into witchcraft, reading their ancient Book of Light in any spare time he had.
Just days ago, things had been a lot different. He was just a Resident Advisor, showing two freshmen around the campus, when all of a sudden he found out that he and those two people were witches. As a matter of fact, they were the most powerful witches the world would ever know. To top this, they were all brothers! James was slowly getting used to having two other people close to him, but he enjoyed having two other people whom he could really trust.
Now, he was going to conduct a séance, a ceremony to contact the dead. He wanted to communicate with Erik and Lauren, his birth parents who had been murdered in front of him by Astaroth, an assassin demon. He made sure everything was in place one more time before leaving his room to catch up with his new brothers.
A quick note: I'm still writing this story, so if y'all have any ideas along the way, let me know!
