Jessi

His lips pressed to mine, kissing softly. A novice kind of way, and then they were gone. Stunned a little speachless, i didn't know if i should be offended or flattered?
"water? Alright.." I moved to get the water in the kitchen, my hands pausing in movement to touch my lips. I could still taste him there, a sweet flavor, like he had been eating candy. Smiling, I wondered what brought that on and moved back into the living room with the water.
Helping him to sit up, I put the cup to his lips and watched as he drank. I was tempted to ask him why he kissed me, and why he broke away but Mira was in the room giggling and watching us.

Summer Dodson

I woke within an hour of going to sleep, and the odd thing was I felt refreshed. Perhaps more than refreshed, my mind was buzzing with excitement worse than it did before a major exam. I felt like I just had to have some more of that magic, and so showered and dressed quickly. I didn't even eat before running over to Jessi's house, arriving breathless, but perhaps not so much so as I normally would.

I knocked on the door, forcing myself to calm down. I never got this excited and if they knew I was, they'd wonder just what was going on. As I waited I let me mind channel along thoughts of what I would like to do with magic, who I would like to do it to, and so on. At least by forcing myself to this, I could stop behaving like an addict seeking a shot.

 

[Sweetp4u]

Jessi

My house was becoming grand central station in a matter of minutes. I didn't know if I should be annoyed or excited. Hard to be excited when I was so damned tired.
"Mira, will you please get the door. I am busy with Matthew here as you can see.. It's either Whitney or Summer or the whole damned clan.." I was a little grumpy, my sleep distrubed and an injured guy on the couch, my spell didn't work. I was tired, Billy was an asshole and I needed sleep!

 

[The GrandMage]

Matthew Bracken

He swallowed the water, and gave a weak smile of thanks as he closed his eyes, he shifted his body, lessening the sharp stings of pain lancing through him. After settling himself down, he let himself lose the battle to stay awake, and slowly slided off into the welcoming darkness of sleep, giving a small shiver of cold.

 

[ARaynes]

Mira Conners

I sat around laughing at the two cute people trying to kiss. "Geez, I feel like I should go invisable to watch this. My very own porn." I joked before going to answer the door.

"So, do you still want me to call the cops?"

Opening the door I saw Summer. "Hey, you won't believe how crazy last night was." It was already daylight, which made it hard for me to say last night. I still felt fresh and alive. Not sleepy and such.

"Well, come in Summer. Don't stand there too long." I joked backing away from the door. "There is a book for you at the bookstore you know. Jess went up there to hunt down witchcraft stories." I winked at Jess before sitting down on the floor again.

 

[BadForm]

Summer Dodson

I looked at Jessi and Matthew as they both seemed a little flushed. Not that they were doing anything at this time, but I could guess what they might have been. I looked at Mira with a wicked grin.

"I know this place isn't the Notell Motel, but do you think this pair need a room? Or am I misreading this?"

I say Jessi's objection long before she spoke it and laughed. "Sorry, I just called it how I saw it. Now... whats this about looking for witchy stuff? Did you find anything good?"

I stopped myself and went serious for a moment. "And is it safe to talk in front of him...?"

 

[Sweetp4u]

Jessi

Standing up I glared at the pair, "I haven't had any sleep.. I am getting very annoyed with two friends who shouldn't be so damned annoying. Now if you want to remain in MY house, shut the hell up!" I gave both a very stern look, not at all amused by their bantering.
I glanced down at the sleeping guy on the couch, "You could set off a bomb in here and he wouldn't hear it." I turned and picked up everything I had been using and took it back into the bathroom.
Walking back out, I was still grumbling they hadn't gotten the clue and left yet! Damned annoying gossipers. I sat down on the chair and rubbed my temples with my forefingers. I had the makings of a migrain.
"Alright I asked if anyone knew where Matthew lived? Where is Whitney and why are you two haunting my door before I get any sleep!?" I had locked up the book before Mira turned the world invisable.
I stopped for a minute and recalled what James had copied off for me.
"Mira will you look on the mail stand by the door? James copied off some important information for me. Having to do with what happens to you when you cast... And how some spells will give energy and some sexual tension.and that this sexual tension or energy and what nots can intensify the stronger and more complicated the spell is..." I fell silent again, it hurt to talk.
"And you'll never guess what Mira did.."

 

[BadForm]

Summer Dodson

"Sorry," I said, noticing she looked more than a little frazzled. "I just felt we should be studying the magic book more - you know, before we try anything major. I mean last night got us all a little giddy, but this is obviously something we can do, and it would be foolish to either just dive in without preparing ourselves or to try and avoid it. I just felt the sooner we start to really study, the better."

I barely responded to her question about Matthew - he was just some geek I barely recognized, and certainly didn't know what he was doing here. I shook my head at the question even as she asked, then heard her going on to her statement about magic having a threefold effect on the caster, or a tenfold. With the way my thoughts had been running, that was mindboggling. However, I didn't want to show them that.

"Interesting..." I said, "about that returning to the caster thing. That means even more that we should be studying this stuff. I mean, we got lucky so far, I think. All we cast are a couple of invisibility spells... although, I hope Whitney is ok after what she did to Billy."

The pained look on Jessi's face got to me more and more. "Look, Jessi, you look really shattered. Why don't we take the spell book and family history round to Whitney's so we can study them there, then fill you in when you're feeling better. That way we can still keep learning, but let yuo have a chance to rest. I have some money, so if this guy... Matthew...? has any id on him, we can call a cab to take him home. I don't mind."

I would ask Mira what she had done later, but for right now, I was eager to learn, and worried for Jessi. Whatever Mira had done was irrelevant at the side of my hidden desires.. and my friend's tiredness, I added, cursing the way I was thinking.

 

[Sweetp4u]

Jessi

"No no Summer.. It's alright, I am just a little grumpy is all. And face it, I am the only level headed on here." I chuckled and sat upright a little more.
"Mira you have a seat and behave!" I yawned and stretched. "Let's make some coffee and try and wake up. I talked to James about the names, and he said for a small community it would not be rare to have the same names used a million times. So no point in worrying about the names just yet. Unless you want to find our family bibles and see if there is a link? Though I am not sure if that matters." I got up and pulled the book out of the chest i had put it in and sat back down.
"There is more here to read aside from spells. I think we should read over some of this stuff."
I sat in the middle of the smaller couch and made room for Summer and Mira to sit with me.
"Let's take a look, but please do not say any spells aloud! Next thing you know one of us will be turned into a frog.."


OOC: I would like to point out that as new comers to this magic casting stuff, that there are failures and there are mishaps. And there is no way that any one of the 5 or so people in here (including my character) casting magic will get the spell right the first or even 5th time. Not everything goes perfectly. There is no rules set in stone for casting and what happens, and I won't put limitations on anyone's creativity in this story, but you can't go all gung ho with the magic aspect and succeed every time. To make this story interesting there has to be failures and some weird things happening instead of perfection. Casting isnt words or verses, it is something inside that when concentrated on, works how you intend it to (so I read somewhere but knowing GM he will correct me once again). This story is to be fun not a nightmare. It is purely Fictional, I do not expect any base reality here in a subject that I see as fiction. Now if there are any more complaints, do feel free to send them my way, but don't expect a nice reply. Story writing is to be fun, something to look forward to, not something that has to be verified! I am now making an ooc thread for this story look for it and link to it. Then I can deal with complaints easier. Thank you.

Summer Dodson

I wandered into Jessi's kitchen to make the coffee. It was something I had come to do over my years of friendship with the other girls. Perhaps it was my previous quietness, that as the geek of the group, while I fit in I didn't fit in as much as the others, but when there was something like coffee to make, the others got together in whatever they were doing and let me make it. I didn't resent it. It was just one of them things.

"You're right, Jessi," I said, responding to her comment about the names. "And this wasn't just limited to this area, so there's an even greater likelihood to have name overlaps. I dunno, I guess in the excitement of yesterday I just got intrigued by the unexpected coincidence. You know how I spend too much time trying to put facts together sometimes."

I laughed, it was true. It enabled me to ace tests with less effort than it took some people to get grade C. Facts, any facts, were like a game to me - a jigsaw puzzle to be fitted together. Sometimes, however, in real, non-academic life, that confused matters rather than helped.

I felt as though the sexual drive and addiction I'd felt to the sensations involved in the magic I cast were dying down. They hadn't, and I doubted they would, dissipate, but the presence of the other two girls, and the mundane matter of making coffee, gave me a break from the intensity.

I brought the a tray and four cups of coffee back into the room once the brew was finished. Mira gave me a look as if to remind me Whitney wasn't there.

"I - I guess I didn't know if he might wake up. And, I kinda feel dumb for thinking of sending him home in a taxi. He doesn't look bad enough for hospital, but he does look like he needs to stay lying down and resting a while."

 

[Sweetp4u]

Jessi

I chuckled at the four cups, "It's alright Summer, and perhaps Matthew will wake up soon. I just don't want to send him home alone until I am sure he is alright." I picked up the coffee and blew on it a moment to let it cool, "James said it wasn't uncommon, doesn't mean you have to give up the research Summer. Still might find something interesting in there?" Setting my coffee back down, I put in cream and sugar. Stirring slowly I yawned again and sat back a moment.
Sitting back I opened the book again and glanced and skimmed through it. "Half of this stuff in here reads like sterio instructions, confusing and worded funny.. making sense of this book might take awhile.." I chuckled again and turned the page.
"The four make the circle, cast it strong and it guards. Air, Fire, Earth and Water." I glanced at Summer then Mira, "See? Confusing." I read a little further and found the familiar summons or oath or whatever it was.
"And here what's a familiar?" My eyes scanning the words, it said Animal, creature in it. "Well alright, some of this is a little different. I wonder if Maddie would answer any questions we might have?"

 

[Shoty98]

Whitney

I carefully answered nearly all of his questions. There was but one I quickly and efficiently avoided and that was about his bike. I hardly knew really who he was so I wouldn't tell him that one yet. He would have to wait. All the while we talked we danced very closel, outside, away from the crowd and the heat. It wasn't working to reduce the ache I was feeling, I found it only growing wrose by the close contact between us.

At dawn we struggled our way through the sea of bodies within the house and made our way toward our homes. We parted with a very hot and steamy kiss and a lingering hug...

"Good night Scott....call me sometime...." I left it there and torn myself away knowing that if I stayed in his embrace any longer, something would happen on this quiet little street, and I could not stop it.

I walked ever so slowly home, hoping that more time in the cool night air would help....but it didn't I reached my home and went inside. Sheading my clothes as I went, I made my way upstairs and turned on the shower, leaving the hot water off. I stole a glance in the mirror, the image that shown back at me startled me. I was flushed and pink from the top of my head clear down to where the image stopped at the edge of the mirror. I was afraid to look down at my own body for fear it was all that color. With a long low groan I stepped away from the mirror and stepped into the cold steady stream emitted from the shower head.

Bracing my hands against the wall I stood there and let the water flow over me. I was sure this was a sure fire way to completely remove myself of the feelings coursing through me. I washed the sweat from my body with lavender soap and washed my hair. After all that I finally gave up and turne off the water. To my relief I felt a little better, so I dried off and went to bed for a few hours... Where dreams haunted, good and bad, and some so vivid they seemed to me like, real life things that had happened or had yet to happen. It frightened me and I tossed and turned wildly in my sleep...

 

[nightray]

Scott

I watch as Whitney walks away her ass swaying seductively I’m tempted to fallow her home but I hold back. Once she’s out of sight I tern and walk home a little unsteady from the five beers that I had granted I could have drank three times that but Whitney’s kiss didn’t help maters much.

I finely get home and walk in though the front door and up the stares. Strip of my clothes as I go letting them fall on the floor as I go. I fall on my bed falling asleep almost instantly. My dreams full of visions of Whitney and I in every conceivable position and some not so conceivable.



I wake up arund two that afternoon a smile on my lips and a wet spot on my matters. I get up and move to the shower turning it one as hot as possible. A few minutes later I step out dry my self off. I walk back to my room and search throw the mess for some clean clothes I muter under my breath about laundry.

Once drest in the last of my clean clothes I scup up a bunch and carry it down to the laundry room throwing them in to the washer not bothering to separate them. I then walk out to the stars finding the pants that I was wearing finding the little peace of paper that has Whitney’s phone number on it. I smile as I flatten it and move to the living room, I plop down on my recliner picking up my cordless and dialing the number. I wait as it rings and ring and rings……

I think is she still in bed?

 

[The GrandMage]

Matthew Bracken

The same dream he'd had hundreds of times, since he'd started his training, came to him. He didn't know why he always had it, but he did. He was in the center of a great circle, four great pillars at the four corners. One red, one blue, one yellow, one green. Each was inscribed with a symbol of the element it represented.

He started to train himself, running through the different types of martial arts. Those based on circles, fuild movements, feirce attacks, solid movements, and those based more on defense. He was drenched with sweat, and panting with exertion when. He finished. He turned to the first pillar, air.

Taking a deep breath, he attacked. Light, moving, building u force and finally wailing against the stone, attack after attack. Light, not much individually, put when put together, it began to wear down the stone, before it shattered, and fell to a pile of dust. He turned to fire, and let out a quick, feirce attack. It was rash, and gave no room for defense as stone turned to another pile of dust. He turned to water. This time, he attacked fluidly. Moving, allowing. His defense perfect, moving with all force that would be given as the hard pillar shattered under his hand.

Finally, he turned to earth. The pillar was a great green stone, moss covering it, much like life covered the planet. He bowed to the pillar, and then made his attack. Solid, forceful, but with a solid defense. His face was emotionless stone. His foot connected with the pillar. Instead of crumbling under his attack, the pillar began to crack. His leg, and the rest of his body shattered, peices spreading through the circle as his body exploded. The ppillar of earth began to fall apart. As always, instead of turning to dust, peices fell around it, reveilinga statue of a woman. Mother Earth, life itself. To go against life was but to die.


His eyes slowly parted, steeling himself. Surprisingly, the pain was less than he'd thought it would be, but he could feel wounds all across his body. He centered himself, ignoring the pain of the body, centering upon the peace of spirit and the cold logic of mind as he sat up. Upon gaining an upright position, however, two things became aware to him. One, he desperately needed to go to the bathroom, and two, his groin felt horrid.

He gave a groan of pain, and looked at the three blurs he could feel looking at him. He was still at Jessi's! He started, looking at each of them. He heard one start to speak, but interjected with aquestion that needed asking, "Where's the bathroom?"

 

[Sweetp4u]

Jessi

Startled he was up and about, I rose from the couch setting the book on the table.
"Yes Matthew, let me help you there." I glanced at Mira and Summer, "don't touch the book, got it! Not a single uttered spell you two.." I took his arm and moved him around the couch.
"Ok towards the kitchen there is a hallway to the right, first door on the right." I let him go, very sure he would not like me leading him there and making him look unable to walk.
He looked a little haggard, and he was talking in his sleep, but I did not hear the words clearly. Very strange guy, and he still looked to be in pain. I walked over and picked up the book again.
Glancing through pages to see how hard a healing spell would be?

 

[The GrandMage]

Matthew Bracken

He nodded, stuttering his thanks as he raced to the bathroom. He never knew that he talked in his sleep, or that he did so without stuttering. He threw the door open, and lifted the toilet bowl. He unzipped his pants, and pulled out his dick, starting to urinate. He sighed, his head lolling back as he groaned in releif, the odd echo from the wall making it sound more painful as it went through the open dorrm carrying out to where the girls were in a dim echo. His larger-than-average cock held out, he releived himself, his hand moving along his limp tool, trying to find a way to hold it that would not be so painful.

 

[Sweetp4u]

Jessi

Moving towards the painful groan in the bathroom I stood just outside incase he needed any help getting back to the couch. I wasn't spying really! But he did leave the door open and the mirror was angled just so.. And god damn!
I backed away from the door, making sure I did not gasp loudly as I covered my mouth a moment and tried not to say a word. I could hear the girls in the living room chatting about their spell castings and all I could wonder was how did a guy built like him get THAT down there?!
Turning red for a moment, I cleared my throat and came forward just a little, averting my eyes and making sure I did not stare again.
"Are... Are you alright Matthew?" My god it was hot in this hallway. And why I even thought that was beyond me! Scolding myself inside my mind, I bit back on the urge to look once more and make sure I wasn't seeing things.

 

[The GrandMage]

Matthew Bracken

He was just getting rid of those last few drops when he heard a voice. Jessi's voice. His eyes opened wide, and he turned towards her, unwittingly giving her a good display of his manhood. His jaw opened, and he was thankful for a moment that he was finished. He looked down, his eye contact finished for the moment, probably dragging her gaze down too, if she wasn't already looking.

He gasped, and tried to cover himself with his hands as he looked up, blushing as he worked to get himself back in his pants. "S-s-so-sor-sorry! I di-di-didn't m-m-me-mean t-t-to...."

He tripped over his words, licking his lips as his eyes shot back up to hers as he tried to work himself back into his pants. fumbling with his embarassment. She'd probably laugh at him. A girl had never seen him before, in that way, and he was afraid they might think him deformed. He was at a loss for words as he stared at her, standing there.

It was wonderfully erotic, and painfully embarassing at the same moment as an akward silence hung for a moment,...

 

[Sweetp4u]

Jessi

Flushing slightly as he turned towards me, He fumbled and blushed profusely as he knew I had seen him. I knew he knew, I stammered for a moment.
"It-its alright Matthew. Ummm." I turned my back to him, giving him a few minutes of privacy.
"I just wanted to make sure you were alright.. Sounded kind of hurt .. " I searched for words to say something to put us both at ease. I didn't dare turn back around nor say a word to him, what I had seen was .. well damn!
"Do you need some ice..... for.. swelling?" God I bet I turned three more shades of Red.

 

[The GrandMage]

Matthew Bracken

He glanced down, carefully putting himself away. He zipped up his pants, and checked himself, looking in the mirror before he turned back to her blurrish form, and blushed redder himself. "I-I-I ha-ha-hav a f-f-few c-cu-cuts and bru-bru-bruises, bu-bu-but no swe-swe-swelling." He gulped. "h-th-that's nn-no-nor-normal."

He swallowed hard. She was blocking the door, he'd have to say something. Clearing his throat, he decided to say the first thing on his mind, make himself look a big fool. Get the big laugh and leave. "I-i-it d-d-does hu-hurt though. P-p-per-perhaps i-i-it n-n-needs a-at-attention?"

God that was stupid! He mentally kicked himself, hoping she wouldn't take the obvious sexual comment and think him serious. Perhaps she'd show him to a doctor, and he could go home.

 

[Sweetp4u]

Jessi

I stepped into the bathroom, trying to ignore the very red face of both of us. I searched the medicine cabinet a moment and pulled out some perscription strength IB's. Shaking a little from the awkward embarassing moment, I pulled out two and handed them to him.
Turning on the sink I got him a drink of water and turned around in the tight room to face him.
"Here is some water, this might help.. I take it Billy hit you umm there?" God that jerk off needed his ass kicked badly. My temper rising it was easier to avoid the awkward moments we just had.
He nodded his head, still not talking to me.
"I think those will help.. if there is pain for longer than tomorrow I would go see a doctor Matthew.." I felt flushed again, I offered him the cup of water and a small smile.
"I won't tell anyone what happened here, it was just umm an accident is all.. Well.." I glanced around, putting my hands in my back pockets. "I'll be in the living room. Its out the door and to the left, is there anything I can go and get you? A extra pair of glasses perhaps?" I stepped out and right back in, "You should think about pressing charges against Billy for his assault Matthew.." I flashed him another smile and squeezed his hand a moment before walking back to the living room and sitting down. Still feeling flushed and hot all over, I sat in silence while Summer and Mira just gave me a weird look.

 

[ARaynes]

Mira Conners

I watched as Matt seemed to wake up. I think that was the name that Jess had called him. I don't remember him, but of corse, I don't remember much of anyone unless they are directly involved in my life.

"So, Summer, What do you think about all this? Do you think since we actually cast spells that we might be witches? And what about this familiar thing? My great grandmother talked about familiars, like they were spies for the devil's workers and all. Said that the family witch had a black cat, but I always thought it was superstition."

I took my coffee and started blowing on it cooling it off some. "This is great. Black, straight. Just the way I like it."

 

[BadForm]

Summer Dodson

Matthew and Jessi left the room together, to see to his bathroom needs. That though brought a wry smile to my lips. Sure, he didn't look good, but he was starting to move of his own account. Personally, I'd have just told him where it was. Maybe I was right about the pair of them needing a room. Especially since the bathroom was just down the hall.

When they left, Mira started asking me questions about familiars, and whether we were witches. I really wasn't sure how to respond. Obviously, we HAD cast spells. She and I had turned invisible. Whitney had cursed Billy's penis. It had worked, and so whatever I thought was just a myth I now had to question.

"What's a witch?" I said. "I dunno, obviously we cast some spells - you saw that yourself. Is that what a witch is? Or some kind of evil sorceress like the christians say? I guess it depends on what you wanna call yourself and what you wanna say a witch is. I mean, I'm not dancing with any devil or..."

"Do you need some ice..... for.. swelling?"

That was Jessi, staring into the bathroom, blushing. I almost choked on my coffee. Sitting rigid and silent in shock I raised my eyes to focus on her.

"I-I-I ha-ha-hav a f-f-few c-cu-cuts and bru-bru-bruises, bu-bu-but no swe-swe-swelling. h-th-that's nn-no-nor-normal."

Matt's response had me spraying coffee as I nearly collapsed in hysterics. What was she seeing that she thought was swelling, but wasn't. I could barely hold my cup still to put it down, and couldn't help but spill scalding hot coffee over my hand as I roared with laughter. I didn't know whether I was embarrased, shocked, amused or a little jealous of her getting to see what sounded like nice goods.

"I-i-it d-d-does hu-hurt though. P-p-per-perhaps i-i-it n-n-needs a-at-attention?"

Oh god, I couldn't breathe from laughing so much. My sides ached as I pressed my hand on the coffee table for support.

 

[The GrandMage]

Matthew Bracken

Matthew raised an eyebrow as she left. No, he was just going to let a menace to society run amuck. What did she think he was, stupid? He may have trouble getting his point across, but that was a speech impediment. He had the feeling a few of his teachers had thought that way, until he became top of their class. The Philosophy teacher had once done what Matt that was mocking him, asking the class is a stuttering fool was smarter than all of them. After class though, the man had apologized, saying he was only trying to get the class to work harder.

He closed his eyes, and sought the center within. Perhaps if he'd just hit back, once, Billy would have let off. No. Violence was never the solution. He frowned, opening his eyes. But maybe a little more self-defense would be. He heard laughing, out in the living room. It was probably for him. It had been going on for a while. He downed the pills try, had slowly drank the water. Not to help the pills down, but to add more moisture to his mouth.

Taking a deep breath, he set the glass down, and stepped out of the bathroom, checking his fly before going down the hallway to the living room. Perhaps he should get going. BUt then again, could he make it home again? He felt very tired, and didn't know how hard the walk would be in his condition.

 

[Shoty98]

Whitney

"You did this to me! Why you....I ought to......" 'Smack' the woman's head shot sideways. Blood dripped from her lip in two places and from her nose. Her eyes were black and she was huddled on the floor, whimpering and pleading. "No.....please! Don't do this I-I didn't do anything, but what you told me to do....please.....no!" She screamed as a giant foot raced toward her, hitting her in mid-thigh. She clutched her leg and did her best to roll away from her assailant. My eyes tightened in my sleep, mocking the squinting I was trying to do in the dream. To see who the two were. The dream quickly changed scenes, to the same two, her tide down, spread as far as she possibly could be. She was screaming, a blood curdling scream that caused my entire bodyto tense. He pounded in and out of her relentlessly, yelling at her, that she would pay and pay dearly, but not until he had finished.
The dream shifted just once more, she was alone still tied to the bed. She was no longer struggling, she was still alive, because I could see her chest rise and fall, with each strangled breath. She was physically and mentally drained, obviously wishing and welcoming death to her. A shadow began to fall over her form on the bed, it was large and in the silhouette I could see a sharp weapon. I assumed it was a knife. I yelled at her trying to will her to fight.... to live.......rrrring, rring.......

I jumped with a start, awaking to the phone. The ringing of it only added to the pounding in my head. My lungs struggled with each breath they tried to take. God I hated those dreams, so real and so vivid it was like it was really happening. I never knew if they were just a result of my over-active imagination or not. I reached with a shakey hand for the phone and picked it up "Hello" my voice trembled with my fear for a moment before I could finally pull myself together. "Who? I ....uh, Oh Scott hi. No... no I am fine." I wiped a hand over my brow to wipe away the sheen of sweat that had formed there.
