Chapter 2 A new headteacher and the Sommers brothers.
Monday soon came back around. And just by routine both Henry Jr and Nathaniel are dressed in their school uniform quickly picking up a few things for breakfast such as cereal bars, muffins and bottles of water.
"I can't believe we overslept." Henry Jr commented.
"It's your fault. You didn't get off your laptop until two and your headphones don't work you kept me up all night." Nathaniel replies.
"Let's not get technical." Henry Jr says with a smile. Nathaniel sighs
"Only because we're going to be late to English," Nathaniel said.
"And you're mad at me because of that. We don't have a permanent English teacher yet." Henry Jr responds.
"I know that but if we're late. The teacher might put me next to my friends." Nathaniel tells Henry Jr.
"Ah, the ones who dropped you. After the ring went out of control and gave me magic." Henry Jr says.
"Exactly," Nathaniel spoke.
"Then we better hurry up." Henry Jr replied.
Henry Jr and Nathaniel arrive at school only five minutes late. Once there the two sneak into the assembly. The two manage to sneak into two empty seats without being seen so they thought. One of the teachers in the assembly hall walks over to the front of the hall right in front of all the students.
"Everyone the quickly you're quite the quicker we get to leave." The teacher said. In a matter of a few seconds, the students start to quiet down.
"Good, I know things have been a little different since Mr Richardson has left due to unforeseen circumstances." The teacher says.
"You're telling me," Henry Jr whispers to Nathaniel.
"Unforeseen circumstances, our headteacher confessed to mortal crimes and is now in prison that sounds unforeseen," Nathaniel commented.
"However, thank you for being patient as we were able to find a suitable replacement. Mr Mercer." The teacher tells all the students. As Alex walks up to the front of the assembly hall wearing a black suit.
"I promise I'm not going to say much I know you're all eager to leave. I just want to say I hope to make the school better than it was before." Alex tells the students.
"You are now dismissed students make your way out of the hall. Starting with the rows at the front." The teacher instructs. The students follow the teacher's instruction and start leaving the hall one row at a time starting at the front. When students on Henry Jr and Nathaniel's row start to walk out of the assembly hall. When Henry Jr and Nathaniel go to walk out Alex speaks up.
"Hold it you two. I think we need to talk about being punctual." Alex spoke up. The other teachers than leave the hall just leaving Henry Jr, Nathaniel and Alex alone. Nathaniel and Henry Jr walk up to Alex.
"Sorry," The boys apologised.
"Nah its okay, I was always late. I'm not encouraging. I was just going to say. Be careful just because we dealt with Faith and the demonic order and their teacher servants doesn't mean the ring and you guys are safe. More evil will come." Alex tells the boys.
"Noted sir, speaking of the ring I've been studying Faith's diary and she rarely speaks of how to control the ring's power. There has to be a training manual or something that will explain how to use the ring and what other powers it could have." Nathaniel said.
"I'm not sure if there is a manual of some sort. But its definitely something we have to look into. The ring is after, all is incredibly powerful who knows exactly powerful." Alex responds.
"Right now the only magic thing I'm concerned about is the spell we used to conceal what I'm really doing here with magic extra are you sure Nate. That my family won't see through the illusion and cloaking spell?" Henry Jr asks.
"We used the Ring of Light to enhance our spell. I'm sure they won't see through it. Besides they see what they want to see and what we want them to see. They see you as a good boy." Nathaniel answers.
Meanwhile, over at Sommers Bar and Grill. We have Ethan in his bedroom where everything is still packed all. Ethan's bedroom consists of plain walls, a dusty wooden floor which he is yet to hover. Ethan is sat on a new wooden single bed that has a single duvet with a blue single duvet cover. Ethan is looking through his family Book of Shadows. Ethan's family Book of Shadows is a dark navy leather-bound book. And on the front, it has a pentagram on the cover. Ethan is looking at a specific page with sadness and anger. The page is titled the Frost Demon! And one of Ethan's hands is moving over the picture of the Frost Demon.
"You monster, I don't know how long it takes. But with or without active powers I will hunt you down and I will destroy you for taking my Father." Ethan vows to himself. Ethan's bedroom door is then pushed open and Travis enters. Travis sees the book and takes it from Ethan's hands.
"What have, I told you little brother about the Book of Shadows?" Travis asked rhetorically.
"To leave it in the trunk. I don't know why you use magic. You used it to help us get this place." Ethan replied.
"That was to help us to start over. Away from the demons and warlocks etc." Travis tells Ethan. Ethan sighs.
"I know but we're not starting over we're running from the demon that killed our..." Ethan started with anger. But Travis makes the stop gesture and speaks up.
"Enough! Ethan, you can say we're running and you're right we are running. We're running to live we don't have the power to go after Dad's killer and I wish we did. But we don't every day our magic grows weaker. We now have no active or supportive powers. And soon we won't be able to cast spells at all. We'll be mortal because of that damn curse. And you can call me whatever you want. But I would rather have you alive and safe hiding out. Instead of burying you when you try and go after the Frost Demon or some other evil trying to get to him." Travis yelled. Ethan didn't know what to say sure he and his brother always got into fights. That is normal for them. But Travis rarely ever admitted he cared for his brother.
"I'm sorry. I'm just mad being a witch was my destiny our destiny, Travis." Ethan apologised.
"Maybe it wasn't. Maybe the Sommers line of witches was destined to end with Dad. It sucks kid I miss him every day too. But I know he would rather love and be proud of two mortal sons. Then be pissed and grieve at us joining him so soon." Travis spoke softly letting his anger fade. Travis than walked out his brother's room with the Book of Shadows. Ethan closed his bedroom door.
"Sommers witches please hear my plea. One last request is all I ask if I am destined to be a witch lead me to who or whatever place can ensure it, please. Know that if being a mortal is my true fate. I will not fight I will embrace it with my heart and soul." Ethan chants whispering.
