20 chapter 20

"Where is he?" Shreya asked, Skylar and I shrugged, she released a breath "come on let's get out of here, he isn't coming back, maybe he figured out we were here"

she touched us both then blinked us to our attic. She went straight for the leunam. she started turning pages, she stopped at a page then read it quietly she conjured up a piece of chalk then came near us she started to draw a circle on the floor I got hold of Skylar and walked to the couch. once the circle was finished she went back to the book and chanted a spell.

with this sacred circle

I call upon the Sacred power

come to me I call you near

come to me and settle here (spell from charmed, re-worded)

smoke appeared but only in the circle, when the smoke dissipated, standing in the circle was a very short man, a man I had never seen before,

"oh wow a dwarf" Skylar cooed

"you eat your tongue, human, who are you calling dwarf, I'm a lepracaun" he told us off we gasped he smiled he was wearing green clothes, nothing but green, even his hat was green he held a stick in his hand "now what am I doing here, witch?" he asked me I shook my head and shrugged looking at Shreya who was looking at the book , then at him then at me, he followed my eyes and looked at Shreya to. "you summoned me, why?" he asked quiet rudely

"I .... you're not the one that's been taking pictures of other beings are you?" she asked rather nervously looking at me then him again, I shook my head no.

"no, why would I take pictures?,I'm not stupid" he told us

"I don't understand, I summoned the one who's been taking pictures, why did you appear?" Shreya went through the spell again but obviously found nothing

"well I'm outta here" he said as he picked up his stick

"no wait" Shreya shrieked "my spell wasn't wrong, I know you know something, you're not leaving until I get answers, I'm a witch I bind you here" the lepracaun sat down in the circle

"look I don't know who the man is, he came to us looking for luck, good luck, I told him that luck could go either way being a lepracaun even I couldn't control which way luck went, that's all, he left after that"

"did you give him the luck?" Shreya asked, the lepracaun shook his head no "ok I'm a witch, you may leave" she said the lepracaun thanked her, he stood then picked his stick and raised it then he banged it lightly on the floor a rainbow appeared out of the floor rising upwards towards the celing once the rainbow went through the celing the lepracaun had disappeared too leaving just the circle. Shreya looked through the book again flicking through many pages, she soon stopped and chanted another spell

Magic Forces black and white

reaching out through space and light,

be he far or be he near

bring us the picture taking man here. (taken from charmed re worded a little to suit the story)

I looked towards the circle a man stood there, looking around

"what the....." he asked I didn't let him finish the sentence

"that's him, Shreya that's him, you did it" I shrieked jumping up and down Shreya laughed

"well thank god for that," she shut the book then walked just outside the circle "who are you? why have you been taking pictures of us? what do you want?" she shot at him question after question

"my name is Steven, I'm looking for someone, I was told that the angel of destiny could help me, that's when I found out about all the mystical beings that exist" he told us

"angel of destiny?, she exists?" I asked, Shreya nodded

"why do you need to meet the angel, what do you want with her?" Shreya asked

"my wife went missing, after searching for a long time I never found her, she's been missing for over a year, even the cops can't find her, one cop told me about the angel, he asked me if my wife had ever mentioned the angel of death, I told him she hadn't the cop told me that was good and that I should find the angel of destiny, she would help, as it was her job to do so, I didn't ask him how he knew all this I just left and started searching, I never realised how blind the average human could be" he shook his head Shreya nodded she sat down and rubbed away a part of the circle, then motioned Steven to step out of the circle, Steven came to stand next to us combing a hand through his light brown shaggy hair I patted him on the shoulder and told him it would be ok he smiled and thanked me before sitting down on the couch.

Shreya walked back to the book and opened it to a page and started to read a spell

"I call upon the sacred power

come to me

angel of destiny

come to me

I summon thee" (taken from charmed) a white light fell from the celing as if there was a bulb there almost like a spot light and within the spotlight appeared a woman dressed in white, she wasn't standing in the circle like the lepracaun, and Steven had, she was Standing next to Shreya.

"you called, child?" she spoke in such a soothing voice, you could wrap yourself in the voice and go to sleep Shreya nodded the angel spoke again "how may I help you child?" Shreya went on to explain Stevens dilemma she smiled then walked over to the coffee table she sat on her knees on the floor next to the table, she motioned the rest of us to join her around the circle, Steven sat across from her, whilst I sat on her left, Shreya sat on her right, Skylar stood behind me, she then brushed a hand across the table top and to my surprise the top of the table looked as if it was liquid, silver liquid, then pictures started to appear moving pictures appeared we could see a woman she was pretty with red hair, wearing a black pencil dress, there was a man with her they were at a restraunt. I realised the man was Steven

"this is our anniversary we went to have dinner, its the night she went missing" he announced we nodded and watched Steven, in the table stood and walked away,

"I went to the washroom" he told us, again we nodded we watched as a man dresses in black entered the restraunt and walked to the woman he held her by her arm, her mouth was wide, like she was screaming but no one seemed to notice he held her arm and they disappeared, Steven came back to the table to see his wife gone he looked everywhere but couldn't see her

"I spoke to the staff, they said she hadn't left so I waited until closing time she didn't come back the manager kicked me out, I went home that night hoping she was home but she wasn't, next morning I went to the cop shop, they spent months looking for her but couldn't then I learnt about the angel of destiny, and, well you know the rest" he finished with a shrug

"don't worry, child, your wife is alive I shall show you where she is, but be warned a life will be lost" she said this and disappeared but the book started to flick through pages by itself, it stopped on a page that said sucubus

"oh sh*t" Shreya cursed

"what's wrong?" I asked not knowing why she would curse

"the sucubus is very powerful Raven no witch has ever gone up against one and survived to tell the tale" well that didn't sound good

"thank you for your help, I'll take it from here" Steven announced making his way towards the attic door

"did you hear what I said, its too dangerous" Shreya explained

"I don't care, she's my wife, my life, without her I'm nothing"

"you'll get yourself killed"

"without her I'm already dead" Shreya thought for a while

"alright, alright, we'll help" Shreya gave in

"but what about the fact that no other witch has survived?" I asked

"well its about time someone broke the mould" Shreya shrugged I smiled Steven looked happy too Skylar seemed nervous.
