risk. We have to perform the spell now. I’ve done it a few times but it was with my parents both around and they were here to help. I think Coco might know the spell, but I don’t want to burden her. I need you to hold the necklace and don’t let it get away. I’m going to perform this and then we can leave,” Darren instructed.
“Are you sure? Coco can fly fast—“
“There’s not enough time Alyssa. I wouldn’t even bother to try this if it weren’t for the fact that if we don’t do this now we’re risking all our lives. Please listen to me and just hold it. If we need backup I’m sure if we call out for Coco she will come back,” he replied.
“Okay,” I stated. I grabbed the necklace and immediately it tried to brainwash me with the tactics it used before. This was what Anthony was talking about, and I definitely could feel the power this device had on me. I didn’t let it affect me though and I held it steady. It tried everything it could, by telling me how bad Darren was to even having the nerve to go through my memories of my family and throwing them in my face. I stayed strong though and ignored them. I knew it was the right thing to do and it would be the smart thing in the end.
Darren started the incantation and I could feel the necklace’s power grow even stronger. It was going into defense mode and was trying to use all of its power to overtake me. I stayed strong though and I let him continue it. The force was almost like I was getting hit by a bus though. A bus that was telling me that I was a stupid motherfucker and an idiot for liking a man like Darren and trusting my guardians. It was even telling me that my parents were horrible people and weren’t trying to protect me, but rather they were just trying to get rid of me because they didn’t want me as their child. I knew these were all lies though and I continued to ignore them as Darren started to say the spell even faster.
After a minute of really powerful force the force started to diminish though, and I had even more control over it. It tried as best as it could to overtake me, but soon it was growing even smaller until it was about a murmur of force. I was happy it finally stopped, and soon I felt like I didn’t have to put up as much defense anymore. The necklace was shaking the entire time I was holding it, but soon as the force diminished it was stopping the shaking and the attempts at getting away. Finally, when Darren finished it was nothing but a solid piece of jewelry . Darren stopped and looked at me, shock and awe present on his face.
“That was awesome! You did a great job. Now let’s get this little fucker in the box and let’s get home,” he voiced. I nodded and placed it in the box, going back to my seat afterwards. Coco came back on the intercom once we were all buckled up, her chipper voice still present even in the face of danger.
“Alright now that that little turd has been taken care of, let’s get the hell out of here shall we?” she asked. We both said yes and soon we took off. Both of us sat back as we ascended and the initial awkwardness we had at the beginning was dissipating. I was starting to feel comfortable around Darren, and I could tell that he was comfortable around me now. I felt like this wasn’t just a silly little crush, but it was actually that we really did care for one another. The feelings I had for him were very different form my normal feelings for guys, and I didn’t know what to make of it. Was I in love?
Chapter Nine
The plane landed smoothly and Anthony was waiting for us on the tarmac. It was about six am and I was dead tired. I know that Darren was as well, and we both knew it was time for bed. When we got out Anthony smiled, obviously happy with what had unfolded today.
“Had fun?” he asked.
“We did.
