the night. No one has ever been able to do anything like the orbs before. This, the flickers, is mostly what happens when we get together.” She explained. “They seem to want to work but never quite do what they are supposed to do.”
     
    “Has everyone read the book she is reading from?” I asked.
     
    “Sure, Lisa let all of us take a jab at it when she found it.”
     
    “Where did she find it?”
     
    “Her grandmother had it hidden in a box at her house. When she died, Lisa came across it by accident. She says her mother has asked her about it about a dozen times but she hasn’t admitted to having it. She tells everyone she found it in a garage sale, but that’s not true.”
     
    “Is her mother into all this kind of stuff too?”
     
    “We don’t really know. Lisa’s mom isn’t around much and we don’t tend to talk about it because it makes her feel bad. Not that she would ever admit to it, but we can see it in how she acts.”
     
    If Lisa’s mother is a part of the Immortal Coven, eventually I will know about it. When the summoning occurs, I will meet all the members. It bothers me, though, to think that Lisa’s mother could be a member and she would treat her daughter in such a manner.
     
    Lisa and Cassidy laughed at the end of their chanting. Their amusement filled the field, seemingly bouncing off the trees. The rest of us, clapped at their attempt.
     
    Just then, the fire flickered, crackled, and popped in a horrifying way, startling everyone.
     
    Dmitri and Kyle, almost in unison, jumped to their feet. Justin, Jason, and Pete all followed their reaction.
     
    My eyes darted to Lisa and hers to mine.
     
    “We need light!” Kyle shouted out. The order clear as to who was going to make that happen.
     
    Lisa and I both bent down to take the dirt.
     
    “Wait…” I barked. “Anabel, do this with us!”
     
    She didn’t ask, she bent down as quickly as we had and took the dirt in her hand.
     
    We looked at each other a brief moment before blowing towards the fire, and made sure it was done together.
     
    The spell took on a life of its own with 3 witches as opposed to 2.
     
    The dirt blew out over the fire as orbs but floated out far out and high, eventually exploding into a thousand tiny still lights making the field just beyond us illuminate a terrifying sight.
     
    Cassidy and Trisha cried out in terror.
     
    Lisa, Anabel, and I turned to each other in stone shock.
     
    The field, now brightly light, revealed a monstrous presence.
     
    “I’ve seen this…” Lisa whispered.
     
    “Me too…” I added.
     
    “What do you mean you only looked at a couple pages?”
     
    “I have my own book, Lisa.” I admitted, walking over to where her book now laid on the ground. Picking it up, I felt her glare become great.
     
    As I flipped the pages, I could hear everyone scattering back to their vehicles.
     
    “I found it.” I said, as I came across the same image of the shadowy beast with glowing amber eyes that I had seen in my own book.
     
    Lisa walked over and read the incantation that was scribbled below the dark likeness. “It’s not going to kill it.” She realized.
     
    “No, but it will force it back into its realm.” I countered.
     
    “Do you know it, the words?” she asked me.
     
    “Yes”  I felt I knew the words before I had read them.
     
    She took my hand and we walked to Kyle and Dmitri who stood, in a protective stance staring at the beast in the distance.
     
    My eyes meet Dmitri’s,   “ Don’t leave me.”
     
    “I will never leave you.”
     
    Hand in hand, Lisa and I walked towards the field, staring at the glowing eyes out in the distance.
     
    The incantation was a series of words, that together meant nothing, but separate would lock the beast in its realm.
     
    “Tenebris….lucem…non hic tibi”
     
    Over and over we recited, Darkness, in the light, we will not have you here.
     
    As we reached the towering demon, he’d become but a
