Chapter 31
Spell Bound/Anrose Amillie
"Do you want anything to eat?" Mike asked, scratching his head. "Depends." Sammy teased. "Are you going to burn the house down?" Mike laughed. "It'll have to be something simple." When he turned to look in the cupboards Sammy stared at his back, noticing the outline of his shoulders beneath his thin shirt. He quickly averted his gaze as Mike spun around, arms filled with boxes of pop tarts. "My favourite," Sammy said. When the pair sat with a plate of freshly toasted s’mores flavoured tarts Sammy breathed the sugary scent of the marshmallows. It reminded him of that night in front of the fire, burning Mike's hairbrush. 'I wonder if he ever noticed it missing,' Sammy thought. It seemed unlikely, based on what an airhead he was. "So, tell me the story of how you blew up the microwave," Sammy teased. "The

Mike tried to walk normally, but it was difficult given the pain in his backside. He comforted himself with the knowledge it had felt so good at the time, and he'd rather be the one in pain. He never wanted to hurt Sammy again. He glanced at the boy at his side, mesmerised by how his white hair sparkled in the sunlight. Taking a deep breath, he dared ask the question that tortured his soul. "So, you said you would forgive me—" he started. "Sorry, Mike, I have a meeting with the school counsellor, but I'll talk to you later, I promise," Sammy said before reaching up and kissing him on the cheek. He stopped, feeling his stomach sink as the boy skipped off into the main reception. "He will never ever forgive you," a cold voice spoke up. Mike spun to find creepy Caine. "I can one hundred percent guarantee it." Not wanting to engage in a discussion with the

When Jess walked into the Religious Education room her book bag slid from her shoulder, dropping to the floor and spilling its contents on the fuzzy carpet. "What the heck?" she murmured. She took a few steps forward, joining other students who stood in the same fashion, eyes fixed on the back wall. "What is it?" she asked the lad to her. He shook his head without tearing his eyes off the display. The posters they created last week were gone, replaced with... patterns. The longer she stared at them, the more she noticed. They repeated themselves, forming repetitions as the larger swirls stemmed off into smaller clones. With every step she took forward, she saw another smaller repetition. At the edges, the colours were bright, like a Henri Matisse painting, but toward the centre, the swirling forms became golden upon black. 'Where did they find paint in su

Jess spotted Kiaan and Sammy sitting on the parks only bench. She approached, Ricky sticking close to her side like a bodyguard or protector. The pair smiled as they looked up, both shivering in their winter coats with their hoods pulled up to shield them from the cold rain. Even Ricky had ditched his usual Nike hoodie in favour of a puffer jacket, and he was famous for not feeling the cold. One time he'd turned up to school during a snowstorm wearing only a shirt and shorts. "Let's do this," Ricky said, taking charge of the group. "I taught Kiaan the spell, just in case," Sammy said. "Just in case of what?" Jess frowned. "What are you afraid is going to happen in there?" Sammy shook his head. "Who knows? I just want to be prepared for anything." Jess nodded and smiled at him, letting him know she understood the sentiment. After his performance in class, Jess

Jess couldn't stop looking at Ricky as they made their way to the coffee shop. Something was different about him. His brow was furrowed more severely than normal, and his eyes were far away, fixed on something she had no way of seeing. He sniffed, pulled a tissue from his pocket and wiped his nose before crumpling it and dropping it into the bin by the door. Sammy, Mike, Caine and Kiaan were seated in the circle of sofas—the gem of the coffee shops seating area. They waved as Jess approached, leaving Ricky to queue for the drinks. "Tea, please," she called over. Caine looked up at her as she sat and smiled. He also looked different, sporting the same red, snotty nose as Ricky. "So, how is everyone?" Jess asked, not aimed the question at no one in particular. Mike shrugged. "I still have no idea what's going on and they've explained

Spell Bound/Anrose Amillie
Belle sat up in bed, using the buttons on the side to adjust the positioning as the nurse had shown her. The book, white with a pentacle on the cover, described the basics of witchcraft in terms even a layman could understand. Her older sister had been kind enough to drop it off, along with a change of clothing and a box of Thornton's continental—her favourite chocolates. According to this book, the spell Damien cast on her would be returned to him threefold. 'I can't wait,' she thought. 'I'm going to make him suffer through the same torment he inflicted on me.' She pictured him on his knees, crawling after her, being forced to take cold baths, starved, and whipped. It gave her no real pleasure other than the sweet satisfaction of vengeance. When he appeared in the doorway, she wasn't surprised to see him, smiling like a dimwit with a bouquet of wildflower
