Lizzie's POV

I had finished the tour of the house and playing dance games with Jane, and I still wasn't satisfied. For some reason unbeknownst to me, my thoughts kept drifting back to Benny.

He was something, wasn't he? Major player, I could tell. Probably couldn't take a 'no', either.

I shook my head away from those thoughts, and I continued down the sidewalk. I couldn't believe it wasn't dark yet, considering I got here around noon, and my cousins consumed quite an amount of time.

I was twiddling my thumbs, wondering about my sisters. Well, I technically only have one sister, Steph, but Kate is like a twin. She's even more obsessed with Star Wars than I am. And that's pretty hard to do.

Kate's mother was murdered when Kate was ten, and her father had sought refuge with their family, and he left Kate and the dog to us. We welcomed them with open arms; well, mostly. My cat didn't particularly enjoy the canine.

Kate had dark brown hair and green and brown eyes. She had a devil-may-care attitude that had landed her in boarding schools. She was funny, insane, psychopathic, loved most death metal bands, had amazing clothes, and was simply Goddess-blessed. Her powers…. Well, they were amazing.

Steph was a year younger than me, but it was almost as if she could read my mind. (You'll see the pun later) She had shoulder-length golden hair that was dyed red, and the most startling blue eyes. No one really knew where she got the hair, but some think it's from our grandma. Steph was also pretty devil-may-care, but she was incredibly angry and angst-ridden. She was quick to over-react and to throw a punch.

During my intense thinking, I somehow managed to make it in front of a house that was beautifully surrounded by flowers, and an elderly woman was out taking care of them.

I glanced over and was passing by when she called out, "Excuse me, dear!" I paused a moment and turned.

"Yes?" I asked politely, knowing Steph and Kate never were.

"Come here for a moment, sweetie." When she saw my hesitation, she added, "I'm Benny's grandma."

Reluctantly, I made my way back over, since I didn't have any reason not to. "I can sense magic on you." Were the first words out of her mouth. I looked at her, shocked, and then slowly nodded.

"Are you an Earth-priestess-in-training?" She asked me, and I shook my head no.

"So…. Are you a witch?" I nodded at that. "A good one, I can tell. Powerful."

"How do you—"

"Don't question it, my dear. Grandma knows all." She winked and started to head back inside.

Out of pure I-don't-know-what, I called, "Wait!" She turned around, bemused.

"Um….. You know Benny cast a love spell, right? Another one?" I asked randomly, blushing.

"Did he now?" She asked, eyebrows raised. I nodded obediently. "Well, I suppose you must get going. Tell Benny to come home, will you dear?"

"Yes ma'am." I smiled politely, actually liking Benny's grandma.

Benny's POV

I was making way back to my house, mind still on Lizzie. Personally, I was finding it cool how just after I made the spell that she came….

"Benny?" My grandma called when I entered the house.

"Yeah grandma, I'm home!"

"Come here for a minute, will you?" She called from the kitchen. Unsurely, I made my way over and saw her sitting at the table. I sat across, and I felt a bit uneasy.

"Cast any spells lately?"

"Okay, if this is about the Teacher Thing, I can explain. I was just—" I started to explain my case.

"What? What 'Teacher Thing'? I was talking about the love spell you cast."

"How do you know about that?"

"Don't question it dear; Grandma knows all. Just talk."

"Oh…. Well, about that, I was just lookin' for a little love, since girls seem to be able to resist my charm and devilish good looks." I paused for a moment, smiling, but then carried on. "But, I think I cast an 'attract your other half' spell."

"That one? Ben, it can only be cast once by somebody, and once it's sent, it can't be taken back." Grandma sighed, disappointed. I looked down, slightly ashamed, but mostly brushing it off.

"I'm sorry, grandma." I murmured childishly, and she waved me off.

"Oh, one more thing; I met your girlfriend today."

A girl? Who was actually interested in me? "Lizzie? She's not my girlfriend; I just met her today!" I said, at the foot of the stairs.

"Ah, but you knew who I was talking about." My grandma winked at me, and went into the other room to watch TV. "Oh, and your grounded for the Teacher Thing."

"What? You don't even know what I did!"

"And if I did, would your sentence be longer than two days?"

"Um, definitely?"

"Go upstairs, Benny." Grandma laughed, and with a smirk, I complied.
