Kelly Bryce scowled as she looked at her clock, though her scowl slowly turned into a smirk. It was getting close to when she would have to get going to school, but she still had time. She would have just enough time...
With that Kelly glanced around, then went to the corner of her bedroom where she had the materials stored. She had originally planned on doing this later, after she got home from school, but she couldn't resist. It was too tempting.
Just the day before, Kelly had run into a strange man who had given her a magic spell, claiming that it would change her life. He had told her that it would allow her to become whatever she wanted... for a small price. However he hadn't really said what that price was, nor had Kelly really asked. She was too eager to try the spell out.
Kelly had quickly found the materials that she would need for the spell, but she hadn't quite been ready to cast it just then. She had been thinking about it all through the night, and still wasn't quite sure about every detail, but that didn't matter. Kelly was finally going to get everything she wanted.
A minute later, Kelly was sitting on her bedroom floor with the six candles that the spell called for positioned in front of her. The candles were equally spaced around a chalk circle that Kelly had drawn and already lit.
Finally Kelly turned her attention to the sheet of paper that contained the spell. She quickly glanced over the beginning, the part which described how the spell worked and which she had already read nearly a dozen times. Kelly took a longer look at the next part, the section which described the materials that she would need and what to do with them.
However the next section was the most important part. There was a large blank space containing only thirteen empty lines, just enough room to write thirteen names.
There was a long moment where Kelly just stared at that section, thinking about what the spell had said. She would get what she wanted... by taking it from other people. The spell would transfer part of the essence from other people into herself, though it could only do it to thirteen people at most. And all that Kelly had to do was write the names of those people onto the spell.
"But who do I choose?" Kelly muttered to herself.
All that she'd decided so far was that she was going to use all thirteen name slots available. This was a once in a lifetime opportunity and she wasn't going to let even the least bit of it slip through her fingers.
With that Kelly began the careful process of deciding just who should be honored with a place on the spell. It was a difficult process as there were so many possibilities... so many choices. There were so many girls in school who were prettier than her, as well as those that she just didn't like and wouldn't mind teaching a lesson. However Kelly slowly narrowed it down and chose the thirteen names.
Finally Kelly held the spell up and looked it over with an eager smile. All thirteen names were there in front of her. And now, according to the instructions, there were only two more things that she had to do. The first was to place the spell within the circle of candles to lock the names and activate it, while the second was to confront each and every person named.
"Thirteen names," Kelly whispered with a grin. "I can't wait..."
Then with a feeling of excitement, Kelly carefully set the spell within circle of candles. Almost immediately, the names began to glow with an eerie green light. And then, the paper itself began to darken around the edges as if being burned by some invisible flame, while a glowing green smoke began to pour out of it.
