Chapter 2: A Spell Gone Wrong
As family and friends helped the Rogers with the preparations of the new arrival, somewhere in Los Angeles, evil was brewing. In the basement of an abandoned house, four girls stood in a circle, a fifth in the middle. They were all dressed in black robes and each had a candle in their hands. Cassie stood to the left of the girl and was holding a pink candle. To the right stood Raphael and was holding a blue candle. Behind the girl, stood Clover, who had a lavender candle. Facing the girl was Ramona and she had a green candle. The girl came to them for help. She wanted them to make her beautiful. For you see, she was albino. A rare kind of folk indeed; with pale skin, red eyes and white hair. She was sick of the torments she had received and thought if she was beautiful people would like her instead of insulting her.
"Are you sure about this?" Cassie asked her. She nodded yes.
"We could kill them instead, if you want." Raphael offered. She thought of this, but quickly shook her head no.
"Do you have the payment?" Clover asked. Again she nodded yes and gave them what they had asked for.
"Before we start, you must swear to never speak of this" Ramona said. When the girl gave them her word, they closed their eyes and started to chant. All seemed to go well, when the girl suddenly started to scream. They heard her, but couldn't stop. For if they did it would have killed the girl. It's a rule among witches that once you start casting a spell, you must finish it. So the girl kept screaming until the last word was pronounced, and then collapsed. As the girls rushed to help her, they failed to notice an evil smile on her face. Something had gone wrong and they know nothing.
As the sun started to set, the girl came to she looked about herself. Suddenly she felt like someone was watching her. As she turned to face the source of the stare, she found the four witches looking at her with relief in their eyes.
"Are you alright?" Ramona asked.
"M...mirror." came the answer.
"Pardon?" Ramona said not understanding. The girl's hand grabbed Ramona's neck so fast no one saw it move.
"Get me a mirror, mortal," the girl hissed. Seeing Ramona struggling, Clover quickly went to get a mirror while the other two just stared. What was going on here? What was with the attitude? Clover returned with the mirror and gave it to the girl. Releasing Ramona, she snatched the object out of Clover's hands and glared into it. She growled as she threw the mirror to the floor.
"Oh no, seven years bad luck." Raphael whispered to Cassie.
"You'll have more then seven years of bad luck, if you don't explained this atrocity!" she yelled.
"Well, you came to us asking to be beautiful and we did." Raphael said. She wasn't wrong the girl was indeed beautiful. "But instead of thanking us, you're all pissed. Geez, you're wel..." Raphael started to say but stopped when she noticed the glare in the girl's eyes.
"You are trying my patience," she warned. " Now I will only ask once more. What happened to..." she stopped suddenly realizing that these humans had no idea who she was. She couldn't help but laugh at their stupidity; in trying to help this poor mortal they had summoned her instead. She continued to laugh.
When she had done laughing, she turned to the four really confused girls, and thought it best to keep them.
"My name Belial." she said and three girls looked at her as if to say "who". Cassie had grabbed their magic book and proceeded to look the name up. When she found it, she read it out loud. Belial is a fierce demon, with the power to destroy the world for her own enjoyment. The girls looked at each other, what had they done.
"And now, if I am to stay in this body, I will need energy. Go and collect me some young woman for my to eat." Belial said as she snapped her fingers, turning the girls into slaves. Quick as light, they scattered the world searching for young woman dim worthy of their mistress.
Well there you have it. What did you think, Good? Bad? Let me know. See you when chapter 3 is up.
