Find your Power
After school, Christina caught me before I got into the car with my mom. "I thought I told you to wait! Gah, never mind. Here! Take this and read the instructions carefully. Don't hesitate at all and, good luck." she said, handing me a little bag that had pure white chalk in it and 2 pieces of paper that where stapled together. I looked over the front part of the paper and then noticed the title. 'Find your Power.' 'What in the world?' I thought, then read a bit more in my head. 'Lynn, Kira had a vision that you end up having a power, so this is to help. We'll ask the gods and goddesses to bring you a power.' I looked back up at Christina, a bit shocked. "Wow! Can I ask you-" "Shhh! All questions will be answered on the paper, now call me if something goes wrong." she interrupted me. I sighed and some, then replied to her. "Alright." "Come on Lynn, lets go." my mom said. I quickly put the stuff in my bag, then got in the car.
As we pulled off, I waved goodbye to Christina, and then sighed and sat back into my seat. "So how was your day?" mom asked. "I'm an official member of the club and I got asked out by the most bad ass guy in school! I had an awesome day!" I squealed. My mother smiled at me, and then I looked out my window and up at the sky. 'Thank you my dearest gods and goddesses.' I thought, smiling. 'Now please make tonight happen right.' I reached up then and took hold of my pendant and held onto it, thinking the rest of the way home.
Once I got home, I quickly got out of the car and ran inside and up to my room. I was curious to see what else was written on the paper for me. So when I got to my room, I shut and locked the door, then walked over to my bed to pull out the papers and the pure white chalk out of my bag. I then threw my bag across the room and then looked over the rest of the papers. They were simple. The first part told me to wait til my mother went to bed and make sure that I was far from her room. My room just so happens to be on the other side of the house, and its upstairs. My mom's is down stairs, and close to the kitchen, so that was alright. The next one told me what the chalk was for. I was to draw the Wiccan Star in the middle of my room and have one white candle. Then after drawing the star, turn off all of the lights and light the candle while standing in the middle of the star. And then repeat the chant till something happens. That was all on the front pages besides the short note at the top I had already read. I flipped over to see in big letters, 'DON'T FORGET TO WEAR YOUR PENDANT!'. I laughed at it and then rolled my eyes and looked on the back. The chant was already written for me. 'Thanks Christina.' I thought, then began to clear the middle of my room for later.
About an hour later, my phone went off. "Who could this be?" I asked myself, running over to my bag to get it out. Justin was calling me. "Oh shit!" I yelped then quickly answered it. "Uh, hello?" "Hey Lynn! Uhm, I was wondering if we could hang out Sunday instead of Saturday." he asked. "Oh, well Sunday is my birthday." I replied. "Is it? You having a party?" he asked yet another question. "No, just having a small get together I believe. Your welcome to come if you want." I invited him, smiling some. "Awesome! I'll call you Sunday then." he said. "Alright. Later then Justin." I said. "See ya Lynn." he replied then hung up. I slowly shut my phone and sighed. 'I hope everything works out tonight and Sunday.' I thought, walking over to my bed to lay down there, holding onto my phone. Suddenly my phone vibrated in my hand, scaring the hell out of me. I gasped and then opened my phone to see it was only a text from Christina.
Christina: I forgot to tell you on the paper, but you should wait til 12. If you mom isn't passed out by then, make it at 2.
Me: Alright. Anything else?
Christina: Good luck! :)
Me: Thanks
After sending that last text, I checked the time only to find out that it was only 7 o'clock. 'Damn' I thought yawning some. 'Oh well, I'll just take a long nap.' Closing my eyes some. 'Maybe I should eat something.' I thought, as I tried to go to sleep. I sighed softly and was about to get up and go eat something, but I then just decided that I would just wait til later. I got comfortable, and then slowly fell asleep.

I woke up sometime later, feeling my phone buzz. "Hn.." I groaned, rolling over to try and find my phone. When I couldn't find it, I sat up quickly and looked around for it. 'I'm so stupid, falling asleep with the damn thing.' I thought. Standing up, I flipped the covers up, only to watch my phone fly out of it and across the room. I sighed, and then went to go pick it up off the floor.
As I picked it up, it was still buzzing. 'A phone call..' I thought, then answered it. "Uhm..Hello?" I asked. "Hello there. Would this be Lynn Spencer?" a male asked. He sounded real sexy, but I felt weird cause he sounded a bit to old. "Uh, yes this is." I answered. "I'm calling to confirm your birth date. Its tomorrow, right?" he asked again. "Its this Sunday. Why do you need to know?" I asked, confused now. "Well Miss Lynn, I'm from..The Volturi Coven, and we've heard from a friend of yours that your birthday was coming up, and we wanted to throw a little fancy part for you." he explained to me. "Oh wow! Christina never mentioned The Volturi Coven to me! This sounds so cool!" I giggled, assuming that it was Christina that had told them. "Oh..Well don't tell her I called you. Its suppose to be a surprise." he said, chuckling some. "Alright. I never caught you name." I said. "My name is Aro. I'm the leader, I mean the uh..Priest." he finally said. "Well Mr. Aro, I'll make sure to keep my mouth shut. And a one more question...Uhm, were exactly is the party at?" I asked. "Oh, there wil be a car that picks you up." he told me. "Thank you very much. I'll see you Sunday then." "Your very welcome. Oh! The car will be picking you up once it gets dark, so be ready. And remember, its fancy like a...prom would be." he reminded me. "Alright. Night Mr. Aro." I said. "Night my dear." he replied, then hung up. I slowly closed my phone, very shocked. 'Whoa! I so can't wait. I hope Christina told Justin to go. Oh! What time is is?" I thought, checking my phone for the time. It was 15 minutes til 12. 'Gotta get ready!' I thought, then got to work.
As I finished getting ready, I ran over to my door, unlocking it for a second to check outside of it. All of the lights were out, so mom was asleep. I smiled and then shut and locked my door once more. I then walked over to my bed to get the chalk that Christina gave to me, and then walked out to the middle of my room and drew the best Wiccan Star I could draw. Once I was done with that, I walked over to turn the lights off. Once my eyes adjusted to the darkness, I moved over to my bed side table to pick up my lighter and candle, then grabbed the paper with the chant on it off my bed and walked over to the circle with the star in it. I took a deep breath and then stepped into the middle of it, lit the candle, then tossed the lighter off to the side.
Before I started, I took a deep breath and then closed my eyes some to pray. As I prayed, I felt a slight breeze, and I knew that my windows where shut and locked, and that the air wasn't on, so it must have been a sign that the Gods and Goddess where there with me. I smiled, and then opened my eyes. Once I opened my eyes, I felt a sudden force that surrounded me. Like it was holding me there. "Wow." I said, still smiling. The force holding me there was so strong, but I felt so excited, not scared. I had another feeling something good was going to happen, so I cleared my throat and then looked down at the chant to say it out loud.
"Gods and Goddesses, I pray to thee,
Make me the strongest I can be.
Bring me a power,
This very hour.
I pray to thee, Gods and Goddesses.
So mote it be!"
I chanted it a few times, then once I had it down, I closed my eyes and began to chant a bit louder. I felt another sudden breeze. Smiling, I chanted more, then let go of the paper with the chant on it, and it blew out of my hand. Suddenly, my pendant that was around my neck seemed to get hot, then cold, heavy, then really mossy. That felt so weird, and I had no idea what was going on. Then my pendant got hot again. But this time it stayed hot. I gasped then reached up to touch it. But it burnt the hell out of my hand. "Ow! Shit!" I shrieked, letting go of it. I then realized that I had stopped chanting, but the chant echoed. Which is why I thought I was still chanting. Looking around my room really confused, I saw no one else there.
All of a sudden, my whole body felt like it was on fire. "What the hell is going on!" I asked, freaking out now, trying to cool myself down by fanning myself with my free hand. I shook my head and then tried to step out of the circle to go turn the air on, but I couldn't move my feet. I then felt like I got a bucket of water dumped on my head. It felt good, but where did it come from? I reached up to feel my hair, and it wasn't wet at all. It was dry. After that feeling past, I felt as if I was outside. I could smell the earthy ground and all. Then came a sudden heaviness on my body. "Wh-Whats going on..?" I stuttered some, then fell to my knees, gasping for air. I slowly sat the candle down and then placed my hand on my chest where my pendant was, trying to breath.
I finally caught my breath and attempted to crawl out of the circle, but it still wouldn't let me leave. I slowly looked down at the candle's flame, and noticed it was going crazy. Every time I got close to it, it grew bigger. It freaked me out even more, so I close my eyes and blew it out. Right as I blew it out this big gust of window pushed out from the circle. Things flew everywhere, papers, clothes, just about everything, making a loud noise. I gasped then fell over and laid there in the circle panting. I felt around me, then slowly tried to get up, but I was to weak. I just fell back down to the floor and sighed. I then began to look around my room, my vision getting all blurry, and my head spinning, or so it felt. I blinked a few times, and my vision went back to normal. But not long after that, it started to get blurry again. "Ah..Damn.." I groaned, then slowly closed my eyes, falling asleep once more, only on the ground and right in the middle of the circle.
Goddess I love the way my story is turning out. I don't know about you guys. Anyways, I hope that this was just as good as the first and I also hope that it gets reviews too.
