After Giliana said the spell she wasn't sure what to do next. She walked out of the attic and into Ginger's room.
"Hey, there's this new thing invented. It's called knocking," she said. She was in the middle of redecorating her old room since she moved back.
"I'm sorry, I just really needed to ask you this question." She took a deep breath before continuing. "How cute do you think Nate is?"
"Oh my God, he is such a hottie! I cannot wait until he comes back. I'm going to order Chinese food everyday just because of him!" Ginger was squealing and jumping up and down like a thirteen year old girl. She suddenly gained control over herself and had a confused look on her face. "What just happened?"
"The truth spell I cast worked." Giliana could help but answer. While Giliana was rambling on and on about how sorry she was, Ginger had a horrified look on her face.
"Why in the world would you cast a truth spell?"
"I wanted to know who Nate really was. He doesn't at the Chinese place. The people there have never even heard his name. I just wanted to protect you from getting hurt." Giliana gave her the puppy dog face, but Ginger wasn't buying it.
"You wanted to protect me by using magic? Do you know how much personal gain that is?" she started lecturing her.
"It's not personal gain if he could be some kind of demon," Giliana replied using the same tone Ginger was using. Just then, Gabriella walked into the room.
"Can you keep it down? Some people need to study for finals." Gabriella looked so worn out. Ever since she found out she was a witch she had to juggle so many things. She was studying for test, on the scholastic decathlon team and help Kelsi with the musical. On top of that she had to run out any second with some lame excuse to help her sister vanquish a demon.
"We're sorry, it's just your younger sister was being irresponsible again," Ginger answered giving Giliana the death glare the while she was talking to Gabriella.
"Why, what happened." Gabriella suddenly had to go to middle child mode. Meaning, she had to stopping WWIII from breaking out.
"Giliana cast a truth spell." Ginger tore away from her death glare to answer her sister's question.
"It's about Nate, isn't it?" Gabriella said. Giliana was about to open her mouth to answer the question, but Gabriella interrupted her, "Please, don't answer that."
"It only last for twenty-four hours, and after that everyone will forget the spell except for us." Giliana tried to make the moment better.
"What if someone asks who we are?" Gabriella quickly asked.
"You say your name, duh." Giliana gave Gabriella a look that said that was a stupid question.
"Not that. I mean, what if someone asks where were you and I say I was out killing demons with my sister. That ruins everything."
"We just have to be careful on what we say and do," Ginger answers for her. They all went into their separate rooms and dreaded what was going to happen the next morning, all except for Giliana.
The next morning everything went as it usually was. No one asked any questions in the manor because they were afraid of the answers.
Giliana was the first to ask something, "Gabriella, do you mind driving me to the store?"
"Actually, I do mind, but since I'm the nice one, I'm pretty much a push over and do everything everyone asks." Gabriella clapped her hand on her mouth, but she had already said it.
"Wow," Giliana had a devious smile on her face, "this spell is going to be so much fun."
Gabriella rolled her eyes and drove her to the store. When they got there Gabriella was surprised at what kind of store it was.
"Giliana, what are we doing at a magic?" Gabriella asked once they got inside the store.
"I figured since we're witches, and witches can make potions, we needed the right ingredients. Plus we need a vanquishing potion for the mysterious Nate," Giliana replied. She was forced to say the last part.
"What potions do we need?" Gabriella was looking around the store. There were feet, roots, feathers and bottles with different colored liquids in them.
"Pig's feet, eye of newt, mandrake root, just to name a few." Giliana went to the front of the store to ask the store clerk were things were.
"Gabriella, is that you?" a familiar voice asked. Gabriella turned around to see her best friend, Taylor.
"Of course it's me," Gabriella replied. "What are you doing here, Taylor?"
"I was in the store across the street when I saw your car. I decided to see if it was you and why you had time to come into a magic shop instead of practice." She had no choice but to say that last part.
"Taylor, it's not like that. My sister needed a good luck charm, and we decided to come here." Again, Gabriella had to lie. Technically she could since Taylor didn't ask a question.
"That's cool. Are you going to be able to make it to the scholastic decathlon?" Taylor asked.
"If I don't have a vanquishing." Gabriella's eyes went wide as soon as the words came out of her mouth.
Taylor looked at her confused. "What's a vanquishing?"
"When a kill a demon or warlock," Gabriella answered. Luckily, Giliana came into the conversation just in time.
"She is so funny. No wonder why you two were best friends since birth. Gabriella has a great sense of humor." Giliana was laughing hysterically along with Gabriella. Taylor gave them a look but decided to let it go.
"Okay, I'll see later," Taylor said and left the shop.
"That was so close. Thanks so much," Gabriella thanked her. Giliana said she got all the ingredients she needed, and they could leave the store. When they got to the manor, Giliana ordered Chinese food, and they waited. The door bell rang and Ginger answered it.
"Nate, what are you doing here?"
"I'm here to delivery Chinese food, like I usually do, and do what I was sent here to do," he answered and smiled at her, happy that he didn't reveal too much.
"We ordered it," Gabriella said, coming into the conversation. "We thought maybe we could talk to Nate some more."
Gabriella and Ginger directed him to the living room where Giliana was sitting. "So Nate, last night we didn't really talk much about you," Giliana began, "I was hoping to change that."
"What are you two up to?" Ginger whispered harshly into Gabriella's ear.
"Giliana and I want to find out who Nate really is," Gabriella answered truthfully.
Giliana was the first to ask Nate a question. "Where are you from Nate?"
"I'm from San Francisco," he answered truthfully.
She asked him another question, "How long have you been going to U of A?"
"I don't go there. I don't go to college at all," he answered again. He winced and shut his eyes close.
"How old are you?" Gabriella asked her first question.
"I'm immortal," He simply said.
"What are you?" Ginger asked. This couldn't be true for her. The cutest boy she has ever met was possibly a demon. It was even worse because her baby sister was possibly right.
"I'm a whitelighter," he said.
"A what?" Ginger asked.
"It's a guardian angel for witches and future whitelighters." Gabriella interrupted Nate before he could answers.
"We have a guardian angel?" Giliana squealed, getting excited.
"Yes, all good witches do." Ginger let go of a deep breath she was holding. She was happy that her hopefully future boyfriend.
"Can you help me with my powers?" Gabriella asked.
"Maybe, but you have to embrace your whitelighter side," he said.
"Who sent you?" Giliana asked.
"We work with the elders. They're a group of powerful whitelighters that help preserve the greater good."
"They just send you around whenever they want?" Ginger asked.
"It's their job," was all he said.
"It's a pretty unfair job," Ginger replied.
"I should get going." Nate got up and was walking to the door when Ginger called out.
"How can I see you again?" she asked.
"Just call my name," he said. With that as the door opened he turned into a bright blue light of orbs and left.
"I have got to learn that power," Gabriella said stunned.
Gabriella pulled up into Taylor's driveway and got out the car. She walked up to the door and took a deep breath. She finally knocked on the door.
Taylor answered the door and was surprised to see Gabriella there, "Gabriella, what are you doing here?"
"I needed to ask you something," was all she said.
"Ask away."
"Can I come inside, first?" Taylor noticed she was still outside.
"Yes, I'm sorry, I didn't notice." She opened the door wider for Gabriella.
"Taylor, what I'm about to do will probably freak you out, and I just want to know if you're ok with what's going to happen."
"You're scaring me."
Gabriella saw that Taylor was doing her homework before she answered the door. "Paper and pencil," she called out and they disappeared in a blue light and reappeared in her hands.
"What was that?" Taylor had a terrified look on her face.
"It's called telekinetic-orbing. I am a witch. And I need to know if you can accept that." She said every word slowly, seeing that she looked like she couldn't stand much less talk
"W-what are you?" she stuttered.
"I'm a witch. Taylor, I'm still your best friend since preschool I just have these powers," Gabriella explained. "Can you accept that?"
I don't think I can," was all she said. Those words were more than enough to let Gabriella know their friendship was over.
"I better get going," Gabriella mumbled and drove back to her house leaving a stunned Taylor.
"Nate!" Ginger yelled. She was in her room and need to tell Nate something. "Nate!"
He orbed behind her, without her knowing. "Hi."
She jumped and let out a gasp before turning around. "Don't ever do that again."
"Deal, what did you need?"
"I was wondering and I was hoping that maybe we could go on a date sometime if you'd like." She had a hopeful voice. Too bad that Nate had to take the hope away from her.
"Ginger, I would love to go on a date with you…" he was interrupted by Ginger rambling about where to go, and what to wear and the usual girly stuff. "I can't."
"Why not?" she sounded like a kid that couldn't have any candy.
"It's forbidden for a whitelighter and a witch to date," Nate explained.
"Oh, well that's ok. You won't even remember this in a minute anyways." Nate gave her a confused look. Ginger looked at her watch and at turned 9:45.
"How did I get here?" Nate looked around confused. The spell had run its course.
"You needed to borrow some notes from one of the professor's classes," she lied. He still looked confused but didn't question and left.
Ginger went into the living room and plopped on the couch. Gabriella soon came in and did the same. Giliana came into the room and saw the hurt expressions on both her older sisters' faces. "What's wrong?"
"Our whitelighter is off limits," Ginger said dully.
"My best friend doesn't accept me," she said numbly.
"Who needs them?" they both looked up. Giliana sat in between them and put her arms around them. "We have each other." They hugged each other.
I know, I know corny ending. The story is not over yet though. I hoped you liked it after I haven't updated in a while. I know you all hate me. Hoped you liked it. You know something that can make me very happy.
Review. Those things make me feel good inside. I would like to feel that again if you just wrote a little sometin, sometin.
