The Tenth Soul

Preface:

The Bradley family had been through a lot in the last few years. A family of three who believed in the "supernatural world", they didn’t really have any friends as most thought they were weird, the only real friends they had were each other. The family of witch’s used only white magic, they only used the black magic art when they had to, Every Monday night was what they called "family night" family night was the night where they would do a blessing ritual and sometimes a little prayer. The blessing ritual was made to bless there family for always being there and protecting them through out harsh times.
On Tuesday (the day after family night.) The family went for a nice peaceful drive, but Glenn (the child) stayed home and practiced his spell craft and had some alone time, that night was the last night Glenn saw his parents, his parents died in a terrible, terrible car accident. Months later he still haven’t given up on them, he tried every spell to bring back the dead, but know what so ever worked, ten years later and Glenn still has not got over the tragic death of his parents.

Part 1

"Here these words,
Here the rhyme,
Come to me with this burning sign
So shall it be!"

Glenn said, as the clock stroke twelve.
He repeated to himself "I’m not giving up." The one thing Glenn had learned ever since his parents gave birth to him was not to give up. The sun was rising and Glenn had only just laid down for a quick nap before trying a ritual to summon the dead. His alarm clock went off, tiredly Glenn reached for the snooze button. By the time Glenn got up, it was now ten thirty. Glenn flicked through the pages of his book of shadows as fast as he could (as the spell needed to be down by midday.) about fifty pages later Glenn finally got to the ritual of summoning the dead, he read allowed to himself "I will need 5 white altar candles spread in a circle, then a picture of the person you were summoning. After setting up the ritual he repeated the spell several times aloud,

"I call of the northern quarter to summon my parents, and bring them back to me ,

I call of the eastern quarter to summon my parents, and bring back to me, so I can care for them,

I call of the southern quarter to summon my parents, and bringt hem back to me, so I may protect them

I call upon the western quarter to summon my parents, and bring them back to me, so mote it is"

Suddenly everything went wrong, Glenn was sucked into the picture of parents.
Only Glenn new what this meant…

He was going to the world of dead spirits.

Part 2

Glenn awoke, after falling out of the sky into the world of dead spirits. He looked around and could see nothing but broken rocks, bats sleeping and hanging off old droopy trees, old spell and ritual books that were just about torn to pieces. Glenn new he should not be where he is, but he new everything happens for a reason, so without further or do Glenn shouted at the top of his voice, "mum…dad." There was no answer, he tried again, "mum…dad." Still there was no answer. Glenn felt angry that his parents would not answer, he mist them so much he just wanted to break down and cry right there on the spot.

But before he even had the chance to even do it, he looked straight ahead and seen a symbol,(well part of a symbol anyway) it was covered in dust, Glenn waved his hands over it gently , to rid the dust. The symbol was now visible and the Glenn relished it was the symbol from the front of the families book of shadows…"the pentacle. "right there and then he new how he could exit the sprite world and return to his own. But before he could do anything, he felt what he described to himself as a lighting bolt hit him, his eyes glow black, and Glenn was now possessed by the tenth soul.

Part 3

Pure evil ran through his body now, he could not change back unless he wanted to. But for him evil was good and powerful, nothing had felt better for Glenn. Flames of fire came from his hands as he fired them at a nearby tombstone, the tombstone smashed into a thousand pieces, Glenn whispered to himself "this could be fun." Glenn was now evil; there was no turning back now.

Glenn continued fire ring fire from his hand, but as soon as he hit the wall where the symbol of the pentacle was he paused, somewhere deep inside the real Glenn was trying to come through, he fell to the ground knowing he could not go on, he knew he was a good witch, not an evil one which he had been possessed by about an hour before breaking down and crying. Glenn let all his anger out in one last flame fire which hit a tree at great force and snapped it in two, suddenly a black cloudy fog came out of Glenn’s eyes, and the possessing soul was to powerful for Glenn. Glenn stood up with tears still falling from his eyes, he now new that he could not save his parents.

Part 4

Glenn grabbed a sharp rock and engraved a spell that should send him back to his own place and time. When he was finished he made a circle out of rocks and stood calmly In the middle of the circle and read the spell.

"I cast a spell to find out what happened without a doubt
Reverse what I cast, and return me to where I belong
After all that’s what I am all about."

Glenn knew it was not really a great spell, but just in a few seconds Glenn arrived back in his own room lying next to the book of shadows.

Glenn had a split second to think about what happened when he entered the world of dead spirits, and remembering when he broke down and cried knowing that he could not save his parents, Glenn knew he wasted ten years of his life trying to bring back his parents, but he also knew that he destiny still awaited him.
