Thanx for the compliment, Powerof1P3PadfootsGrl. I guess you'll just have to bite your tongue and stick high school out. Raya, a pleasure as always. Corey, you should e-mail me your spells and stuff so I can use them in my stories, you know, unless you're using them for your own stuff.

"You're tough," Matthew said, getting up from the floor, "but I'm tougher."

"Dream on," James said, flexing his biceps. "I'll take you any day."

Matthew's eyes flashed as he jumped on top of James with supernatural prowess. He elbowed James in the nose and followed it with an intense punch to his face, sending blood spewing from James' nose and mouth. James caught Matthew's hand and twisted it so that Matthew was turned away from him. Then James kicked him in the back, sending him crashing into his desk. Matthew turned around, panting, to face James once again. Before moving, he noticed James' eyes flash red briefly before returning to normal.

James, staring at Matthew, tried to anticipate his next move. He knew that Matthew was under some evil spell, but he was still his younger brother, new or not. However, that logic got lost in his head as his eyes flashed. His sense of morality suddenly became twisted and he felt like all he wanted to do was fight. He had never felt so pumped in his life. Adrenaline had seemed to replace all the blood in his system; he was working off of pure power now. It was the same feeling that went through Matthew. He thrust his hand forward and Matthew was thrown violently into a wall, creating a Matthew-shaped imprint.

Before either of them could do anything else, they both noticed the Book of Light start to glow. While they had always known it to glow white, this time it shone an eerie red color as it began to shake. It opened itself and an invisible force was flipping furiously through it. Then it closed, showing the front cover.

After James, Matthew, and Wesley had found each other, the Book of Light had revealed its secrets to them. On the front cover, the legendary symbol of the Complete, three intertwining circles (there were two on top and one slightly lower between them), had been magically etched, each circle representing one of the brothers. The symbol represented the link that one brother had with the other two. Though the design was simple, it was a source of unimaginable power.

Now, the Book showed three circles that were no longer joined. James, Matthew, and Wesley had disconnected from each other, breaking the very bonds that made them who they were. James went to open the Book, but the same force that had repelled Matthew earlier did the same to him. They both realized what was happening to them at that moment.

"Uh oh," James said. "I think we're turning evil. Aw, crap!"

"Aw, crap!" Wesley said to himself as he stood helplessly in the center of a mass of energy balls, all frozen in time.

He was trying desperately to think of a way to escape. Because his powers were still new to him, he knew that it was only a matter of time before all of Matthias' energy ball would unfreeze and resume their flights. He had nowhere to go; he was completely surrounded and in the middle of the park. It was already nighttime and with no streetlights around, the only thing that was providing light were the energy balls. Wesley whimpered to himself as he gave up and began thinking one thought over and over in his mind: I'm gonna die! Right here, and right now!

Then it hit him; he couldn't die! He remembered that Thanos was still trapped by the Council. While he was still there, nobody could die. He took pride in remembering what William had told him earlier. He felt better for a moment until he realized that even though he couldn't die, he could still feel pain. The very thought made him wince; he hated anything that hurt. Still, he had to get out of this predicament and back to his dorm room. He took a deep breath and unfroze the energy balls. He closed his eyes, expecting the worst...

"So we're evil," Matthew said. "Doesn't it feel great?"

"Actually," James said, "it does. It's kind of weird. Now I feel like I can do anything!"

"That's because now you can," Matthew said. "Can't you see that this is what was supposed to happen? If we're half warlock, there's no way that we could be good forever."

"You have a point," James said. "So what do we do now?"

"Weren't you listening?" Matthew asked. "We can do anything we want!"

"Wesley," James said. His eyes flashed red again. "Let's find our little brother."

"Right behind you," Matthew said.

As if they had done it all the time, both James and Matthew blinked out of the dorm room. It had never crossed their minds that they were now blinking. Evil had taken control of their senses; it was governing each and every one of their actions. Now they were out to find Wesley, to teach him a lesson...

Oh boy, Jimmy and Matt are on the rampage. On the plus side, at least they resolved their differences with each other! Coming up in the next chapter, William makes a return, but has his own inner demons to fight; Wesley taps into a new power, but doesn't know he does... It may give insight into his true heritage, but it may not. It makes perfect sense to me, though! Oh well... Stay tuned!
