Chapter 5

Benny's Problem

Benny lay on his bed, arms crossed looking up at the ceiling, when he heard a knock on the door. He heard her coming up the stairs before, but hoped she wouldn't come in. "Go away!" He quietly locked the door. She tried to open it, but failed. He heard her sigh, and a soft thud in front of the door. Then, once he heard her heels clicking on the wood floor, and her door shut, he sighed, feeling bad. He opened the door to find his spellbook lying on the floor. He picked it up and shut the door.

"How could she have done that? She just got her book today, and learned and completed the levitation spell in five minutes." he said to himself.

He heard soft crying from outside his window. He got up and looked out, and noticed her door to the balcony was open, and that she was sitting on the porch swing. Then, he felt extremely guilty. He closed the window and sat in his computer chair.

"I shouldn't have done that. She is smarter than me. I shouldn't be surprised she mastered a spell on her first try. I should go talk to her." he said as he stood up, and walked out the door.

He hesitated before he knocked on her door. "Dakota?"

"Benny," she said as she opened the door, wiping away tears. "What do you want?"

"To say I'm sorry. I shouldn't have acted like that. You should be the one to move ahead on your first spell. You're smarter than me. I just can't believe you completed the levitation spell!"

Dakota laughed and sniffled as she walked into the room, and out to the balcony into the cool evening air, and sat on the swing. Benny followed slowly. He sat down in one of the chairs, and put his spellbook on the table next to hers. "I'm sorry, for making you feel bad. I can teach you, instead, if you want?"

"Okay." he said as he picked up his book, as she picked up hers.

She went in and turned the light on outside, and sat on the other chair. She had brought out a couple pencils, and books, and Checkers had followed her out. "Okay, turn to page 213." she said as she opened hers to the correct page.

"213..., 213..., aha! 213!" he exclaimed. She laughed.

"Okay, now look at the fourth spell on the page." she pointed to it as she said it. "And read it out loud."

"To levitate an object, one must focus their energy on one object at a time. One must be specific by naming the object desired to levitate, along with the levitation spell." he read. "What does it mean by saying the object's name along with the spell?"

"Well, remember earlier? 'Teacup-ess, Levitatess'? That's what it means." she said. She saw an understanding look on his face, but it was quickly turned back to being confused. "Okay, let's try this." she said as she pointed to a book. "Point your strongest finger at it, and say, 'Book-ateus, Levitatess' and keep your focus."

He thought for a minute, pointed at the object, and said the spell. "Book-ateus, Levitatess." the object lifted slightly. He lifted his finger a little, and the book lifted more. "It's working!" he said. The book immediately dropped with a thud. "Oops..."

"That's okay. Try it again, but keep your focus, and no talking."

"Book-ateus, Levitatess." he said as he lifted the book up again. He shook his finger back and forth a little. Once, it almost hit Dakota in the head, but both stayed calm. The book kept getting farther away from them, and toward's Ethan's house. Then the book was close to Ethan's window. Benny's hand slipped which made the book thrust forward, hitting the window with a loud thud. Both Benny and Dakota grimaced.

A few seconds later, Ethan popped his head out the window. "What was that?" he whisper yelled.

"His fault!" Dakota pointed at Benny.

"Her fault!" Benny said pointing at Dakota, at the same time she did.

Ethan groaned, and rolled his eyes. "I don't care who's fault it was!"

"Sorry, Ethan! I was helping Benny out with a spell!" Dakota said as she stood up and leaned over the side a little. She pointed her finger at the book and recieted the spell, and the book flies up into her hand gracefully. She turned and put it down on the table. "Did we interrupt something?"

"No, me and Sarah were talking, and she fell asleep. Somehow, I don't know why, because vampires don't need their sleep."

"No, we really don't, but Jane wore me out!" Sarah said as she appeared next to Ethan in the window. "Hey, can we come over?"

"Sure. Come through the back door, though. We'll wait downstairs for you." Benny said as he stood, picked his spellbook up, and headed for the stairs. Dakota did the same.

When they got to the back porch, they sat down in the chairs. They waited for about five more minutes, until they saw the back gate, between theirs, and Ethan's yard, open. Sarah and Ethan walked up to them, holding hands.

"Hey, guys." Sarah said.

"Hey." Benny and Dakota said.

"So what are you two doing with throwing books across the yard, at my window?" Ethan asked, as they all entered the living room.

"Oh, I was helping Benny with a spell. Today, I got my spellbook, read a spell, learned the spell, and completed the spell. All in five minutes."

"Yeah, and the spell was the levitation spell. One I hadn't read yet. So, I got jealous, and stormed out. But, later, I realized she's smarter than me. I shouldn't be surprised."

"Okay, not meaning to be rude, or anything. But, you're smarter than him?" Sarah asked. "How much smarter?"

"Well, I'm an overachiever back home. I was also the valedictorian for eighth grade." Dakota replied.

"So, you're like, perfect then. Right?" Ethan asked.

"No. I have my flaws. Not only am I an earth priestess, I am also a telepath. I can read minds."

"Really? So, that means that everything we think about,..."

"I see, or hear." Dakota said, finishing Sarah's sentence. "But not all the time. Lately, I can mostly see or hear thoughts through touch. Or just by being really close to someone."

"Oh." Ethan, and Sarah said in unison.

"Yeah, so be careful when thinking around her." Benny said.

'Yeah, 'cause I really don't want to know what you two are thinking about. Ever.' Dakota thought. Sarah and Ethan jumped.

"What was that?" Sarah and Ethan asked at once.

'I can put my thoughts in your heads. I can communicate with you through thought.'

"That's a little creepy." Sarah said.

"Yeah. Please don't do that again. Not unless you have to tell us something in private." Ethan said.

"Sorry. Well, you guys are welcome to stay. I think Benny wants to help me learn more spells, while I help him do the same." Dakota said, picking up her book off the table.

"Oh, right. You guys can help yourself to some food, and turn the TV on if you want." Benny said opening his book to the first page of spells. Ethan got up and made popcorn, while Sarah flipped through the channels on TV.

"Okay. So, I was wondering about the seventh spell, on page 110." Dakota said as she pointed to a paragraph on the said page.

"Oh, the invisibility spell?"

"Yeah. I can't pronounce this one..." Sarah heard Dakota say as she entered the kitchen and walked over to Ethan.

"Hey." she said softly.

He turns around slowly, and greets her with a smile. "Hey. What are you doing in here?"

She shrugs. "I don't know. I didn't want to listen to Benny get another spell wrong."

"Yeah," he chuckled. Just then, the microwave beeped. "Popcorn?" he said pulling the bag out, and placing two big bowls on the counter.

"Sure." Sarah replied as she sat down at the table, and watched him pour the popcorn in to the bowls.

He sat one bowl on the table in front of Sarah, then walked into the livingroom to Dakota and Benny. When he walked in he didn't see Benny. "Uhh... Where's Benny?" he asked, as he set the bowl on the table.

"I made him invisible." she replied blankly.

"Ok..., where is he?"

"I am right here..." Benny said, his voice sounding angry. He tapped Ethan's right shoulder.

Ethan jumped, and turned to where 'Invisible Benny' supposedly was. "Why can't you make him reappear?" he asked Dakota, without taking his eyes off his invisible friend's spot in the room.

"Because,... we both don't know the reverse spell..." she said scanning the pages in her spellbook.

"Okay..." Ethan said slowly.

Just then Sarah walked into the room, not knowing that Benny was invisible and only three inches in front of her. "Hey," Sarah said as she kept walking, Benny turned around. "Where's Be-" she ran right into him, and popcorn went flying everywhere as she and Benny fell down. "Nevermind," she groaned, holding her head while sitting up. "I found him."

HAHAHAHAHAHA! LOL! So funny, popcorn seriously went EVERYWHERE!
