"What are you looking for ?" I asked casually , obviously doing a better job at acting. He looked disturbed . Maybe his other teammates don't know that he lost it and was here looking for it . Ben and Jennie was still hiding so he could only see me . After having one more look around he finally gave his attention to me .
"I'm really sorry about what I'm about to do now but I have to , you know that I came here ." I looked at him confused . What did he think he was going to do to me ? Was he a wizard ?
My question was answered almost immediately when he shouted , "Quaero habetis vestris malis anima mea et venter meus! " Which , if I'm correct , would mean , " I demand you to possess my body and let me use your soul!" It sounds pretty bad , which is why I hope my translation was actually correct .
The moment he started chanting , the carving in my pocket started to shake . It clicked in me that maybe he was trying to summon the spirit we saw when the carving broke . A dark aura presented itself around me so I quickly ran back into the woods , but he followed me . "obstructionum!" It was kind of stupid of me to think that all spells made by me would work . I had already overworked myself . The carving was still in y pocket but the shadow zoomed out of my pocket .
It was really dark so thankfully wasn't able to see the shadow coming out . It was growing more and more and I needed to lock it again . He was running after me so when I saw Ben and Jennie waiting for me a little bit ahead of myself , I signalled them to create a distraction .
I ran past them and they jumped up on the man . Taking this opportunity , I repeated the spell I told first but now , adding a new line , "non iubeo nisi exeunt!" Which was me chanting , "You shall not come out unless I order you to !" In Latin . I wished that chanting could've been done with our own language but the first witch was Latin so now all the witches from around the world has to go with this . I know this because I read a lot of books on supernatural legends , which is a book written by Jasper Kunningman , a normal human who believes in supernatural existence .
I kept chanting it over and over again to keep it from getting out . It thankfully worked out and it went back into the carving as soon as I took it out . I went back the way I came to see Ben and Jennie doing a great job distracting the man and he seemed to have lost sight of me . Sneaking around the three of them , I jumped on the man held both of his hands back , successfully tackling him . Ben made an effort to help and knocked him off . Since my blooming , I had more than enough strength so it was often hard to measure how much power I had to restrain myself from using to stop myself from killing anyone in a single punch . This was also another reason to why I stopped going for street fights , for which I used to go whenever I had the chance before blooming .
Being a Berthim had it's own disadvantages but it's advantages were not bad either . I got to spend quality time and also be a partner in crime with him , not having to worry myself about having to cover up for my parents . I had actually ended up killing Bob and Hailey , and I still didn't see any regrets for it .
Carrying the knocked out man , we headed back to our car , with Jennie because she still didn't trust herself to go back home alone anymore . It was kind of sad that she had to go through this after an almost tragic incident but II was also happy that she stayed her ground and helped us .
It was 5 in the morning now and all of us , except the man had dark circles around our eyes because of the sleepless night . Reaching home , I dragged him along the dirty hallway and down to the basement floor . After tying him up tightly and taping his mouth to stop him from chanting anything to escape , all three of us passed out on our beds . Well , except Jennie who slept with me on my bed .
We woke up at 3 in the afternoon and met dad downstairs . We didn't even notice that we ate both our breakfast , that is simply cereal and milk , and lunch , which was a taco sandwich . Dad had served us breakfast but we were really busy sleeping so for the sake of dad and our hunger , we swallowed both meals quickly.
"So , how'd it go ? Did you find anything useful ?How's Luke doing ?" Those questions made me realise that he still didn't know what had happened yesterday .
"Jay , you should be asking whether we found anyONE useful . Also Luke , he was a nice guy but he's gone now ." Ben replied back to dad . Dad had only ever cried because of me worrying him when he was with me . I had never seen him cry for another reason . Tears fell from his eyes continuously and we did all we could to calm him down . I made a really good effort to bake cookies with smiley faces on . He smiled for just one second and e=went back to crying mode . He must have been really close with Luke so I couldn't bring my voice out to say anything about the man we found to him .
Leaving him to have some thinking time , Jennie , who seemed a bit confused herself after hearing about a Luke , and me , accompanied with Ben , went to the basement to see the man awake . Holding back Ben's hand from loosening the tape , I chanted , "vos potest uti magicae non dimittam te donec hoc faciam"
Ben looked at me for permission to loosen the tape and I gave him a slight nod .
"Let's see him try to escape now , shall we ?"
