Chapter 8 A turn for the worse.
The group of four teens are still searching through David's trunk apart from Ethan who is flipping through the pages of the Sommers Book of Shadows. While Nathaniel is waiting for an answer off Ethan to see if in the Sommers Book of Shadows if there is a spell or potion they can use to bring back the Merriwick Book of Shadows.
"Anything Ethan?" Nathaniel asks.
"Not, yet but just how I and my brother are losing our magic every day. Our book of shadows is losing knowledge and magic every day more blank pages are appearing." Ethan answers still continuing looking through his family Book of Shadows.
"These letters are mainly Gail and David writing back and forth. But they do mention some things about the Ring of Souls and Death." Rose said.
"Like what?" Ethan questions.
"The Ring of Souls and Death is said to be the ring where all deaths and souls come from. As well as illnesses." Rose tells the group.
"Wow, what a power who would have thought a line of good witches wanted to have power over souls and death." Henry Jr commented.
"I don't think they would just use its power on a whim," Rose responds. Ethan flips another page and smiles at the content.
"Found something," Ethan spoke up catching the other teens attention.
"Really, more on the ring or on how to restore my family's Book of Shadows?" Nathaniel asked.
"How to restore your family's Book of Shadows. There a spell we need ashes from a fireplace some candles and we need to draw pentagram for the circles around. And some of your blood." Nathaniel replies.
"Let's get started," Ethan says but then seconds later they hear a loud thump.
"TRAVIS," Ethan shouted as jumped up with the book in his hands. He runs out of the living room and makes his way downstairs to the bar area with Nathaniel, Rose and Henry Jr following him.
The four teens arrive down into the bar area. And are all shocked to see an unconscious Travis lying on the floor near some step-ladders. Travis runs over to him and kneels down.
"Travis, Travis come on open your eyes bro," Ethan begs but Travis doesn't respond. The only indication that Travis is alive is that he is breathing and still has a pulse.
"We need to do something." Henry Jr said.
"Ethan, your Book of Shadows it has to have some healing spell," Rose says.
"The book," Ethan replied looking at the book and notices the spell to restore Nathaniel's family book of shadows is fading.
"I'll take a picture," Rose spoke quickly pulling out her phone. Rose just barely manages to take a picture of the spell and instructions on how to restore Nathaniel's family Book of Shadows. The page in the book then becomes blank. Ethan's eyelids then become very heavy and Ethan tosses the Sommers Book of Shadows over to the teens.
"H...Hurry please," Ethan begs before finally collapsing next to his older brother Travis.
"ETHAN," Henry Jr screams running over to his ex.
"Mighty spirits hear my plea wake the fallen brothers may their fate not be this bring them back into the fold." Rose chants but nothing happens.
"It didn't work check their spellbook." Henry Jr practically orders. Nathaniel quickly flips through the remaining pages that have writing on before speaking.
"There nothing on healing spells in the book. We need to call for their whitelighter. Any whitelighter." Nathaniel responds.
"There Whitelighter's name was someone called Andy. You go and restore Merriwick book of shadows. I'll call for their whitelighter." Henry Jr instructs trying his best not to cry.
"We'll be back as soon as possible. We head back to Merriwick house there a fireplace there." Rose said before she and Nathaniel walk out the Bar and Grill. Now Henry Jr is alone with unconscious Travis and Ethan.
"Don't worry Ethan, I'm not leaving you like this. We've been through some crazy things together." Henry Jr says as held one of Ethan's hand tenderly with care. In truth, Henry Jr would always care for Ethan.
