Chapter 18

Samantha ran her fingers across the shelf of spell books that she had in the back room of the store. Raven and Chelsea stood behind her. Raven bit her nail in anxiety, and Chelsea was pulling on her left index finger (which she sometimes did when she was nervous).

"Ah, got it!" Samantha pulled a rather large and very old looking book off the shelf and slammed it down on the desk behind her. Dust flew off of it, sending a small cloud of particles in the air that floated in the lamp light. She threw the front cover open and began to quickly flip through the pages.

"No…no…no…yes! Here it is." Samantha turned the book toward Raven so she could read the title properly.

"To Reverse That Which Has Been Wrongly Made Right," Raven said aloud, "Huh?"

"It basically means, to undo what you did."

"Why didn't you want to show us this?" Chelsea asked.

"Well, it's only been done once, and I'm not sure how it turned out."

"What happened?" Raven asked as Samantha turned the book back around to read the spell.

"This guy,Patrick Byrne, came into our shop while we were in Seattle. He was a nice enough guy I guess, but he was kind of down on his luck. His wife was leaving him and taking the kids, he was broke, and he was getting evicted from his apartment. It was his birthday, so my mother sold him one of the magic birthday candles. I don't know exactly what it was Mr. Byrnewished for, but the next day, I'm reading in the newspaper that he won the lottery. 145 million dollars."

"No kidding. Thought he could buy happiness?" Chelsea said and Samantha shrugged.

"I guess. Everything's great for about a month or so, then Mr. Byrne comes running into our shop one morning, exhausted and practically in tears. He says that his soon to be ex wife was murdered and his kids were being held for ransom. The kidnappers wanted everything, the only problem was that he spent a lot of it clearing up debts and buying some expensive things. He was on his hands and knees begging my mother to help him. I had never seen anything like it. That's when she suggested this spell."

Raven and Chelsea stood in awe. "Did it work?" Raven asked, barely finding her voice.

Samantha shrugged. "I don't know. We did the spell, he ran out, and we never heard from him again. There was nothing in the papers, so I suppose it worked. But I can't be sure."

Chelsea passed a worried glance to Raven, who matched it with her own.

"Are you sure you want to do this? Is the wish that you made so bad that you need to do this?"

Raven stepped closer to the desk and leaned on it. "I made that wish, and one of my best friends lost his life because of it. My other best friend," Raven whispered, motioning toward Chelsea, "is so screwed up because of this wish, and I am something that I never wanted to be. So yes. I am willing to anything and everything to make it right."

Samantha nodded and then she scanned the spell again. "Looks like you have to drink a potion. Hmm…oh no."

"What?" Raven asked, getting afraid again.

"It says we need limpseed root. We don't have any in the store."

"Well, go get some. Hell, I'll get some. Just send me to the store or something." Raven began to ramble in a panic.

"No, don't worry. My mom actually went out to get some. She should be back around noon…" Samantha reassured Raven (who breathed a sigh of relief) "Oh, wait. It says the spell has to be done at midnight. That's right, I forgot it had to be done at midnight. Is that okay?"

"Well, it's gonna have to be okay." Chelsea stated, half-laughing.

Samantha nodded and then looked at her watch. "Oh man. I gotta open the store!"

Samantha ran out of the back room with Raven and Chelsea in tow. She ran to the front door, flipped the sign and snapped the lock back. "My mom would killed me if she found out I opened late."

"Is your mom gonna freak when you tell her about the spell?"

"I'm not telling her, are you nuts! I didn't tell her that I gave a teenage girl a magic birthday candle for free, let alone the fact that you want to take it back."

"So, how are we going to do the spell here?" Chelsea asked.

"We're not. The spell can be done anywhere. We'll do it at Raven's house. Raven, give me your address and I'll meet you there at like, eleven with the stuff."

Samantha walked over to the counter, got a pen and some scrap paper, and Raven wrote down her address.

"Are you going to be there?" Samantha asked Chelsea and Raven looked at her.

"Yes. I'm not missing this. Why, is that going to be a problem?"

Samantha shook her head. "No. Actually, it's better. We'll get the potion done faster with three people."

Raven and Chelsea both nodded in understanding, and then Raven suddenly hugged Samantha. "Thank you so much. You don't know how grateful I am."

"Don't thank me just yet. We have to see if it works."

"It'll work; it has to."

"Yeah. So, I'll see you tonight."

"Okay." Raven said as she and Chelsea walked out the door.

Raven and Chelsea stepped out into the daylight. Everything suddenly looked brighter. Raven knew that the spell was going to work. It had to.

Suddenly, someone slammed into Raven and they both fell to the cement. The other person stood up quickly while Raven sat up on the ground.

Brushing herself off, Raven said, "Hey, why don't you watch where you're go…" Raven looked at the very familiar Nike sneakers that were partially covered by Adidas sweatpants. Following the pants upwards, Raven came face to face with a very irritated Loca.

Chelsea grabbed Raven under her arms and pulled her up.

"Raven." Loca muttered between her teeth.

"Uh…hey Loca." Raven laughed nervously.
