of contents but
there were none. She knew this was going to be tricky and also that it would
take a while to find the correct page.
    All of a sudden,
the pages of the old coven book began to turn themselves. Thousands of pages
went by and then as if by magic the pages stopped and there, in front of her
eyes was the exact page she was looking for.
    The heading read: The Red Amulet . Under the title was a picture of this mysterious Red
Amulet in all its glory. The picture was beautiful, and very detailed. The Red
Amulet was smaller than she’d imagined, assuming that this picture was drawn to
scale, and contained a red ruby, encased in silver.
    She began to read
about the amulet, when she heard the door open to the room. She quickly turned
around and tried to hide, but it was too late. The two guys who were standing
at the front door as she entered had found her upstairs, searching through
their coven book.
    She knew this was
bad and stood there like a deer in headlights awaiting her fate as her heart
leapt out of her chest. She could feel the beads of sweat pouring down her
face, and the fact that the fireplace was roaring right behind her wasn’t
helping the cause.
    “Excuse me?” one
of the guys said, staring at her.
    Rachel couldn’t
help but feel like a burglar being caught red handed.
    “Um, Hi!” Rachel
said, staring back at them.
    “Don’t Hi us,”
the other guy said. “What do you think you’re doing?”
    Rachel could tell
by the tone of his voice that he wasn’t happy. She knew she shouldn’t be up
there and wished this had never happened. She wished she was still in the cave
with Benji trying to save him in another way. She wished he’d never uttered the
words Red Amulet .
    “Well?” the first
guy repeated. “What are you doing up here?”
    “I, um, um, um”
Rachel began to stutter.
    “You um what?”
the second guy asked again. “You shouldn’t be up here. Who let you upstairs?”
    Rachel didn’t
know how to answer this.
    “I, um, just let
myself up. I’m sorry. I didn’t know.”
    “Of course you
knew,” the first guy said. “If you didn’t know then how would you have found
the book?”
    Rachel was
stunned. She was caught with no alibi.
    “I was just
looking for something,” she said back.
    “We know exactly
what you were doing. You’re looking for the Red Amulet. Well, guess what,
you’ll never find it,” the second guy said knowingly. “It’s not in your coven
anymore—it’s in ours.”
    Rachel could see
that they were angry and didn’t know what was going to happen next. The two
guys started to walk towards her as if they were part of a marching band in a
rhythmic pattern. She felt scared by this.
    As they were
closing in on her she realized there was nowhere for her to go. Then, one guy
leapt towards her and grabbed her by the neck, forcing her to the ground.
    “Do you know what
happens to people who see our coven book?” the guy said as his face turned
bright red with rage.
    Before she could
answer he began to speak again. “We don’t let you go.”
    Rachel felt
panicked. She knew that she was going to die right then and there in that room.
She said a quick prayer and then opened her eyes to see that both guys were
hovering over her, their fangs out as if they were going to bite her. She
didn’t understand what was happening. Were they going to turn her into one of
their members? She couldn’t figure it out but knew she had to do something
fast.
    She closed her
eyes and her eyelids began to flutter and her body began to shake. The two guys
backed off of her as her body convulsed uncontrollably in front of the
fireplace. It was working, she was scaring them off using her Mind Control.
    Next, she rose
her body straight up and hovered in midair in front of the two guys as she lay
sideways thinking about her next move. Then, quickly, she dropped to her feet,
ran over to the coven book, ripped out the page and then leapt out the open
window and into the air. Before
