“When is Sarah going to get here?” she asked.

“She’s here,” I said only moments before the bell rang.

Lucas looked at me and said, “I wonder if I’ll ever get used to that.”

I shrugged and winked. “I think it’s kind of fun, keeping you on your toes.”

Kristin sprinted to the door and opened it. “You’re here!” She grabbed Sarah and pulled her into Shawn’s living room.

“What do you need me to do?” Kristin and I both asked.

With a pointed look in my direction, Sarah said, “Since you helped her cast the spell, you’ll help her uncast it. I’ve written everything down, and I’ll be here should you need any help.”

I took the two bags and the paper from Sarah. “Okay. Got it.”

“You’ll need an altar,” Sarah stated.

“I’ve got a card table in the dining room. We can use that.”

“That’s perfect, Shawn!” I said as we all followed him to his formal dining room that had been turned into what I was guessing was the poker room.

After Sarah and I got the table ready, Sarah motioned for Lucas to step back from the table.

“Okay, I’ll read everything, and you do it, Kristin. Shawn, you just sit down there.”

He did as I asked while Kristin put the two bags down on the table.

“First, you’ll need a handful of the bay leaves.”

“Bay leaves,” Kristin said as she took them out of the bag and laid them on the table.

“Next is the Frankincense sticks. A tablespoon of cinnamon powder.”

I paused and let Kristin get the cinnamon powder measured out and in the little bowl we had set on the table.

“Okay,” Sarah continued. “We have the white candle.”

“Got it,” Kristin said as Sarah pointed to it. “We also have a dish and a lighter.”

“Great!” I said. “That’s all we’ll need to get started.”

“Shawn, you need to empty your mind by taking in three deep breaths,” Sarah told him.

I couldn’t help but notice Kristin doing the same thing and tried not to smile.

Before I said anything else, I noticed Kristin pick up the lighter and light the white candle. I looked over my shoulder at Sarah who simply raised both brows.

“White candles symbolize clearing paths and invite protection,” Kristin stated as I stared at her, my mouth dropped open.

“Shawn, you’ll want to put the bay leaves in the middle of the dish.” He did as Kristin asked while I watched in utter shock. When Kristin spoke again, I jumped.

“Bay leaves were used in the middle-ages to protect people from plagues and certain types of spells.”

Slowly walking backward, I stopped where Sarah and Lucas were and whispered, “What is happening?”

Sarah grinned. “She’s finding her magick.”

I spun around. “You mean she’s a witch, and you knew the whole time?”
