Greg started to flip the pancakes that were cooking on a frying pan. Because of the defeat of the water demon tribe yesterday, Greg had decided to cook the others a big breakfast as his sign of gratitude. Not only did he have his great grandmother, Piper's powers, but he had her skill in cooking as well. Also, later this afternoon, his best friend Daniel was coming over.
Daniel and Greg had become friends at Cub Scouts, which Greg had been in when he was little. They had been best friends ever since. Daniel was a sillier person than most, but could get very serious so fast that it would make your head spin. It was always fun being around Daniel, and they had always had a lot of things in common. This was the first time that Daniel had come over since Turq had read "The Enchanted Ones Spell" a year ago. Daniel believed that Greg had inherited this house from his deceased rich uncle, and that Turq was his cousin, and that he just happened to invite so many other people to live with him. Obviously, he didn't know that all of them were witches.
After a humongous breakfast, Greg started to wash a few of the walls a bit. He didn't want Daniel to come over to a messy house full of demon scorch marks. Destiny then walked into the room. She was clearly distraught, so Greg stopped cleaning furiously and went over to her.
"What's wrong Des?" he asked very sincerely.
"I just can't handle having these powers and not being able to tell anyone!" she sobbed, "I was with Mark today and I wanted to tell him so bad and he saw it too. He asked me if there was anything that I wanted to tell him, and I lied to him! I told him no and it felt so horrible to lie to my best friend." She then buried her sobbing head into one of the couch pillows.
"It'll be okay Destiny" Greg replied reassuringly "Someday, you'll probably be able to tell Mark, as long as he doesn't tell the world and expose us or something."
"Mark wouldn't do that" Destiny interrupted.
Greg sighed "Don't forget, Mark is my friend too and I know him just as well as you do. Don't you think it's hard for me not to tell Mark, or Daniel?" Destiny got out from under the pillows, "I'm sorry, I didn't realize that I'm not the only one with this problem." she mumbled.
"It's okay" Greg said "Everyone is does that sometimes. Sometimes it's a little healthy not to have perfect behavior. I know I don't always." Destiny dried her eyes and smiled
"Thanks Greg you're a true friend" she then started to walk upstairs. Greg then resumed his tidying up.Not too long after that, the doorbell rang. Greg ran downstairs and opened it to see Daniel standing there. After a warm welcome, Greg let him in and led him into the kitchen. Greg sat him down and produced a basket full of beautifully made, delicious blueberry muffins. He then took the kettle off the stove and made them some tea and and sat down next to him and they both talked for about an hour while eating the muffins and sipping tea.
After a while, Greg got up and went to the fridge to get out the ingredients for the wonderful dinner he was going to make. Suddenly, a demon appeared on the other side of the kitchen and threw an energy ball at Daniel. Greg flicked his hands and quickly froze the demon and the energy ball in mid-throw. He then flicked again and blew up the energy ball and then the demon.
"What was that thing?" Daniel asked, clearly scared.
"Uhhmm, that was a demon" Greg muttered. "And I'm a, well um, I'm what you might call a witch
"Aren't witches supposed to be girls?" Daniel asked quietly.
"Well, I'm a guy witch. The girls and my so called cousin Turq are kinda witches too. And we sort of fight off demons, warlocks, and other evil beings." Greg replied " Um are you okay with that?"
Daniel just stood there for a moment and then finally seemed to come to his senses and said"Well, you are the same Greg right?"
Greg smiled "None other."
Then Daniel gave him the same goofy smile that he had used when they were kids and said "It must be pretty cool having powers."
They then had a humongous conversation that lasted many, many hours. Then. after a big scrumptious dinner, and a few bond movies, Daniel spent the night and left the next morning.
Not too long after that, Destiny approached Greg " Do you think that now that Daniel knows, I can tell Mark?"
"You sure he won't tell?" Greg asked staring her in the eyes.
"I'm positive." she replied calmly.
"Well then I guess one more person knowing is okay. But only Mark, alright?" Destiny grinned really wide and hugged him and started yelling
"Thanks so much! You're the greatest friend ever! And yes I know, only Mark" She then skipped out of the room and Greg opened up his novel to get some peaceful reading time in. Not that it was ever peaceful here for very long.
