I don't own Pirates of the Caribbean I just like to play with the characters and their heads. Not making any money so no use to sue. First time with them (in public) so be patient. Feel free to review.

Chapter 1

"Halloween! Hooray!" Alex shouted as she approached the school police officer. He looked at her as if she had grown another head. Stopping just short of him she held out a black rose. He accepted after a minute but held it as if it would sprout a mouth and bit him. "Hurry up woman," came a board call from behind her. She turned on her heel and marched over to the exit door of the commons where her two friends were waiting. "Trying to poison him?" Pip asked as they walked out to their favorite spot. "Coarse not," Eric took on her defense. Alex just smiled and sat down under one of the few trees on campus. It was an old oak and they had long ago claimed it as their own. No one else from school came out to it so they could always go there. Even some of the teachers were afraid to go near it. The reason(s); 1. they were thought to be witches. 2. It was evil ground because witches gathered there 3. No one would be caught dead with them so they never hung out where Alex and her friends could be found. "So are we on for tonight?" Pip asked as she pulled a soda out of her lunch box. "Yea, but don't forget my parents might not be home but my neighbors will be." Alex made a stern face trying to resemble her neighbor Ms. Timons. All the girls had to laugh at the attempt. Soon lunch was over and the girls said good bye to each other as they headed to their respective classes.

The afternoon was cool with a clear sky and little wind when the final bell rang. Alex, Eric and Pip found each other easily. "Okay we'll meet at my house at eight o'clock. Don't forget all our tools and don't be to late," Alex handed each girl a list and a piece of candy. "Gotta go," Eric looked at her watch and frowned. They all went their separate ways thinking about what they were going to do later that night. Alex headed off for work at the record shop close to the school. They were playing an Elvis tune when she got there. "Afternoon Alex," a young man behind the counter smiled as she entered. "Chris, is this the new record?" she asked and walked behind the counter. "Sure is, fancy a dance?" He did a little jig. Alex laughed and shook her head; "another time I got to shelve these" she picked up a stack of records. Setting out determined work passed quickly and was soon done. "See you on Monday Chris," Alex poked her head in the back room when she had finished with the last stack of records and handling a customer. "See you, and Alex," she stepped in at his serious tone. "Stay out of trouble and don't do anything dumb," he stared at her. "I won't you know me," he hung his head. "That's what I'm afraid of." She laughed and left walking quickly as it had started to get dark. It was a good three miles to her house and she made it as the sun began setting. Unlocking the door she turned on the porch light for her friends when they came later. Timing things right she had a little time to study before she had to start cooking for the feast she had planed. Her friends would also bring some food from their homes so they would have lots to eat.

She had managed to cook the chicken to perfection and prepare vegetables and biscuits before a knock on the door. She could feel the presents of her friends a she approached so she naturally opened it. Eric was waiting with a pan of french fries and a large backpack by her legs. "Hey," Pip said from behind Eric. "Welcome," Alex held the door open for them to step through and grabbed the backpack from the stoop. "I brought cake," Pip went for the kitchen to set down her part of the meal. After doing that she came back to the living room and dropped the backpack she had been carrying. "Lets set up" Eric came in and began to push the furniture out of the way. Pip and Alex eagerly began to unpack the bags and layout the contance. "I'll help Pip you get the rest of the stuff," Eric gave Alex a gentle shove. Alex gave one back before going down the hall to her room. Moving her desk she took the hidden panel off the wall and took her tools out of hiding. Carefully putting everything back to the way she found it she went back to her friends.

Having everything they needed they began to set up with an efficiency of having done this practice many times before. They set a small cauldron in the middle of the floor and placed four bowls around it and eight white candles and two black candles around that. In the bowls they placed dirt, water, a vile with slightly compressed air and they put lava rocks in the last bowl. They laid out a dagger they had pooled money to get. Last was to lay out incense for later and a mess of twine. Just as they finished untangling the line of twine the timer for the chicken went off. The three girls rushed into the kitchen to stop it from burning. Then they set the table with the food and began with their supper. They ate in silence and when they were finished they cleaned up the main dishes before cutting the cake. "I want a big piece!" Pip gushed. Eric laughed "You always want a big piece." Alex served the biggest slice to Pip who dug in immediately as she and Eric took smaller slices. When the last crumb had been eaten off the plates they washed them and put them away. "Now to get ready for the main event," Alex was eager to try the new spell she had found. They all went back to the living room after turning off all the lights and sat around the makeshift alter they had set up. They lighted the incense and the candles before standing in a triangle evenly spaced. Then they invited the elements in and passed the twine around them to form a circle. Once it was closed Eric tied a knot in it and they sat down to meditate until a few minutes before midnight. With a minute to spare Alex handed out the spell and on her signal they began to recite it as the grandfather clock began to chime midnight. "Of the past and the present and to the future we hope to see, be and go. On this hour we call to those who listen now to hear us and grant our request. By the power of we three let it be." With that there was a sudden flash of light and all went dark.
