Chapter 8: Dominus Trinus

"Where's the light switch?" Benny asked feeling along the walls for a switch, Justin doing the same on the other wall. The light switched on, but neither of them turned it on.

There wasn't much in the room but a corridor that led further down. Justin took the lead and headed down the dark corridor. Benny hesitantly followed, but somehow felt safe at the same time. As they walked down the stairs, lights flickered on with each step they took until they got into the bigger room.

The room was dimly lit and housed many articles. There were bookshelves along the walls, some of which had books but others had jars, candles, and herbs in flasks and test tubes. There was a small black cauldron on the center table with some vials and stirring rods. They approached the table and picked up the vials and suddenly a book fell on an old trunk.

They walked towards the trunk and tried to open it but it was shut tight and wouldn't budge. They got up and started looking around the room, investigating what everything was.

"What is all this stuff?" Justin stated as he pulled out a book that read The Truth About Witches.

They moved to the other side of the room to look at the jars that had animal parts, human parts, possibly anything disturbing you can think of. The trunk that was shut tight suddenly pried open and made a creaking sound. Justin turned around and gasped.

"It opened Benny, c'mon." Justin exclaimed and kneeled down, as did Benny.

They propped it open and found a big green book at the very top. They pulled it out and closed the trunk to set the book on top. Justin blew off some dust and they started to cough from the dust.

"Nice going Justin!" Benny huffed through his coughs.

The book is bound by green leather and is the size of an encyclopedia volume. On the front cover there is a symbol of circle and nothing else. Justin opened the book to the first page. In big intricate handwriting the title of the book was displayed.

"Book of Shadows." They both read in unison. Justin turned the page once again. They saw a hand drawn rod on the left side of the page with a ribbon twirling around with italicized words written on it.

They began to read out loud, "Dominus Trinus?" They looked at each other with confused looks and continued reading.

"Outside of Time, Outside of Space. We call upon the Ancient Power.

The Forces of Nature, And the Spirits of the Psyches

The secrets we hid in the night. In this night and in this hour,

The great work of magic is sought. Bring us the Power of One.

We want the Power! Give us the Power!"

They turned to each other and noticed that their necklaces began to glow. Justin's was glowing a bright dark purple while Benny's was glowing brightly green. They were both shocked at what was happening. A gust of wind blew in the room and the lights started to flicker. The candles in the room lit up and a fire started under the cauldron. Both boys were staring in shock as the cauldron started to bubble and emit smoke into the room. Another gust of wind swopped into the room as it cleared the smoke and turned off the candles. Outside the Baywood Estate, the gates began to close as the initials on the pewter gate began to glow slightly. Once the gates closed completely with an audible slam the bottom and top of the gates began to trace the intricate pattern with a glow. The light made its way to the center of the gate until a giant circle glowed brightly with the initials in the center. The glowing circle shrank in size until it was symmetrically centered and surrounding the two initials. The glow began to subside into the glowing initials and they to soon give out.

They quickly put the book back in the trunk, closed it and ran back up the corridor. Benny opened the door and they quickly shut it and ran up to Justin's room and locked the door. They went into the bathroom and looked in the mirror to see what had happened to their necklaces.

"Benny!" Justin started as he stared at the new image before him, "Please tell this was on there when you gave it to me when we were five?" Justin held it up so his friend can see it. Benny was speechless because that was never there before. "Please tell me that this symbol of an eye has always been there!"

"Okay, that symbol has always been there." He sarcastically grinned and Justin playfully punched him in the shoulder. "Okay, okay. No when I gave it to you it was just a circle. What about mine, it looks the same, you know before it glowed green."

They walked back into the room and they sat on the futon. Neither wanted to talk about what had transpired moments ago.

"Okay this never happened, and we don't bring it up to mom or dad." Justin spat out and Benny agreed.

"Where is that Pizza?" Benny exclaimed as they headed back downstairs. When they had gotten downstairs, Justin's parents were coming in the doorway. The boys froze up and started walking back upstairs, but were stopped by his mom.

"Have you guys heard from Ozzie?" Miranda asked and they turned back around shaking their heads. "Well his mom is getting worried, have you tried contacting him?"

Benny stuttered out a yes and Justin nudged him. "I mean, yes I called him and left him messages and no answer. We'll try again, c'mon Justin." They turned around to head back upstairs and Justin got a glimpse of the hall and living room. There was no mess of what happened a while ago, like nothing ever happened.
