Chapter One: Find Them
Elena's POV:
You ever had your whole family disappear around you well then welcome to my world.
How the hell did I end up in this mess well it started when my parents died and their powers were given to my brother, they're eldest child, Lohan. Lohan took care of us after our parents died when I was eight. My sister Stephanie and I had our own powers but Lohan's combined powers made him special despite that we were so close and always together we'll me and Lohan were. Stephanie didn't like that Lohan was more powerful or that I was his favourite.
Lohan was so powerful, his abilities were unlike anyone elses way more advanced then my sister and I's. I always thought nothing could hurt or kill him but I was wrong.
The night the coven came was the night I lost them. I couldn't sleep that night it was done to a mix of Lohan and Stephanie arguing and this nagging feeling inside of me telling me to stay awake.
When the arguing died down I went to check on Lohan. I want to tell him about this bad feeling I had.
I quietly moved across the hallway to his room to see the room empty. I sighed and slowly made my way downstairs only to freeze in the doorway at the sight before me Lohan was on the floor motionless and Stephanie was slouched on the floor against the book shelf across the room. I hurried over to Lohan first and gently shook his shoulder.
"Lo? Lohan? Lohan wake up. Lohan wake up please!"
I shook him harder before I check his pulse. My heart stilled as I couldn't find one and a scampered away from his cold body. I tried to take a deep breath to steady my breathing before I quickly ran over to Stephanie shaking her shoulder.
"Steph, Stephanie. Steph help me please Lohan he..he won't wake up he's.. he's died. Stephanie please help!"
My eyes welded up in tears as I crawled back over to Lohan. They're gone. They can't be gone please no. I tried to calm myself down enough to use my magic to try and do something anything but nothing worked. I rocked myself back and forth crying my eyes out begging my brother to come back.
"Please wake up Lohan I don't know what to do. Please."
I squeezed his hand and kissed his forehead before I slowly backed away from his body and then the house. Lohan said if anything happened then we had to leave the house no matter what we had to leave as they'd come for us. They being the Crescent Witches.
The Crescent Witches. A coven of Witches who want to live out side the natural order, they want power over heaven and hell to rule over all there is in this world and the next. My parents tried to stop them but they couldn't they just weren't strong enough. Lohan was probably the only one who could and he's.. he's gone.
"Arh..Why, why my family why won't you leave us alone."
I yelled not caring who was listening as I ran through the streets. Everything was gone! I have nothing left! I have no one!
"Arh you've taken everything from me why don't you just kill me!"
I yelled again why couldn't it have been me. Lohan deserves to live. I'll do anything to have him back for him to live. Anything at all!
I furiously wiped away my tears taking in my surroundings. Somehow I ended up by an old abandoned house.
Okay Elena don't panic your in the middle of nowhere nothing to worry about. Where the hell am I! Part of me told me not to care, why should I it's not like it matters where I am. What do I have left to live for. But the other half of me told me to grow up and think I need to find a way to bring Lohan back!
"You have everything to live for Elena so much and more."
I shuddered and snapped my head up to see who or what spoke. My eyes widened as a figure well not a figure more like a ghost or a spiritual figure was standing well floating in front of me. What the hell wait I'm a witch for god sake this shouldn't surprise me.
"Who the hell are you supposed to be my fairy godmother?"
I asked rolling my eyes really fairy godmother that's all I you could come up with brain really!
"Actually I don't care I just lost the only family I have left so please hit me with your best shot. Curse me to hell, take my soul. Whatever the hell you want to do to me please hurry up and do it so I can get on with trying to save my brother."
Harsh much well with the night I've had can you blame me.
"Elena Savannah Lyons that is no way to talk to family now come with me! You will get nowhere in life if you don't ask for help when you need it. Your brother raised you better."
I shivered and whispered an apology as the ghost grabbed a hold of my hand and dragged me into the house. If I wasn't a witch I don't know how the ghost would have taken my hand or why I even let a ghost drag me into a house I guess it's going to be one of those nights.
As we both entered the old house all you could see were ghosts, all you could smell was damp and all you could hear were whispers.
Ghost, ghost and more ghosts there were ghosts as far as I could see. The whole I see dead people yeah I know how you feel. This house is falling apart but the ghosts don't seem to mind I guess it's the perfect place for them of course for a witch well that's a different story they might not mind debris falling on them well through them by I do.
"Okay so you've dragged me in here so at least tell me how the hell you know me and why I should hear you out I need to keep moving and find answers."
All the ghosts turned to looked at me completely surprised at my outburst but to be honest I couldn't care I couldn't stop think about Lohan I can't believe I just left him to the crescent witches and Stephanie... How could I forget her too.
"We are your family Elena your ancestors, I'm Savannah and what you wish to do is... it's dangerous and can not be done alone. The sacrifice will be great for what you wish there is always a price and the balance must be put back."
A price! Is she taking the piss. Of course I know that I'm ready for whatever sacrifice I have to give. The world was out of balance before my parents and it's still out of balance now but Lohan made the world better he can stop the Crescent Witches and bring balance I just now it.
"I'm sorry I know what I wish is a lot but you've got it wrong I'm not the one to bring balance that's Lohan not me. I'll do whatever it takes to bring him back."
I've made my decision and nothing and no one will change my mind. I'm bringing Lohan back and that's that.
"Elena you can only achieve what you wish if you accept your role in the world and if you ask for help. It is all good and well making a set decision but you need to seek those who you fear most."
Who I fear most? I'm not afraid of anything. I'm not afraid of the coven I hate them so it's not them.. then who?
"Okay fine I'll face my demons or fears whatever or whoever I can't care just tell me who I need to look for?"
Before Savannah or another ghost could answer my question. Sparks flashed in front of my eyes. Smoke consumed the building and green flames licked at the walls and the ghosts. Without hesitation I leaped under a table for cover.
"It's the Coven! They are here for me!"
I yelled I was so stupid I should have continued to run. This is all happening because of me; okay I know the ghost are already dead but they are some what living and being killed for good this time.
"Elena get out the back, run towards the cemetery now. Run."
I felt like my feet were glued to the floor this time and no matter how hard I tried to force myself to run all I could do was watch the ghosts, my ancestors, my family died again all around me.
Savannah pushed me out the back door and my legs started running carrying me to the cemetery.
Once I was on the hollow ground I turn and looked back at the house on the hill in the distance. The green fire and the smoke filled the sky. I screamed so loud I was surprised the dead didn't wake up around me. Why?! Why can't they just leave me alone?!
"Elena don't scream I haven't got long."
I relaxed slightly as I stopped screaming and span around on the spot to see Savannah she was starting to fading away this is all my fault.
"I'm sorry Savannah."
She looked into my eyes and I swear for a ghost they was love in her eyes. I need to bring Lohan back to fix this, to stop the Crescent Witches now enough people have suffered.
"Hush now take this and keep it close you must find them."
My eyes widened in surprise as she placed a small red box in my hand before slowly fading away. Where did this come from wait find who?
"Wait find who Savannah?"
It was too late she had disappeared leaving me once again alone. I gazed at the red box until the sun rose. What the hell do I do know. What do I even do with this thing it's just an on puzzle box. Once the sun light hit the lid three words, names appeared in red lights.
'Dark, Death, Devil.'
