BeWitched

                                        Ruba and her friends all headed towards there locker to grab their belongings and remove the hex spell. 

"Are you ready Ruba?" Amy called out. 

"Uh, yeah. Hang on a minute... you guys can start walking. I'll meet you later." Ruba smirked towards her locker. She looked over her shoulder and narrowed her eyes and glared from left to right, to see if her friends had started walking. She grabbed all the necessary equipment to remove the hex spell: a wax candle, water and a black bowl. However, she glared a second time from left to right and grabbed different equipment: 3"x3" piece of paper and a black ink pen. She quickly stuffed it all in her back pack and shut her locker and ran after her friends. 

                                                                                       * * * 

"Hey guys!" Ruba smiled. 

"Hey Ruba! Did you get the equipment?" Michael asked. 

"Uh, yeah. I did." Ruba smiled sheepishly. 

"So, where are we going to perform this?" Willow asked. 

"Uh, I was thinking of going to the forest..." Ruba informed. "I mean, is that okay?" 

"Uh, yeah. The forest it is!" Joseph said. 

                                                                               * * *

They arrived at the forest and it was 5:00 P.M. It was dark and a bit chilly. There were trees everywhere; tall trees that scoped over and touched each other, creating arched shapes as shelters. The moon was out, full and bathing everything in its glow.

Ruba's phone beeped and she winced at the text onscreen. 

Hey, darling! What time will you be home?

To which she replied,

Hey, mum. Not too sure. But don't worry; I’m with all my friends just hanging out at Amy's. 

Okay darling. Have fun.

Thanks mum.

"Who was that?" Amy asked.

"My mum."

"Still haven't told her?"

"No. And I don't intend to any time soon!"

"Ruba, she's your mum!"

"Yeah? And this is my life!" Ruba snapped, "Can we just do the stupid spell please?"

"Ruba, you’re going to have to tell her some time!"

"Yeah, some time. Not now and -"

Ruba was cut off by Joseph, telling them to cut it out and get working. Ruba grabbed her bag off of the floor and walked away from Amy, placing herself behind a tree on her knees. The others did the same, preparing the equipment to remove the spell. 

                                                                                     * * *

Willow, Amy, Joseph and Michael were preparing everything. They all sat in a circle, leaving room for Ruba. They placed the wax candle in the bowl so it stood alone in solitary confinement. They then filled the bowl with water, making sure not to wet the candle. They all sat there, with their legs crossed, clearing their minds and waiting for Ruba to arrive.

                                                                                      * * *

Ruba was still behind the tree, removing her equipment: 3"x3" paper and a black ink pen. She started to write Naomi's name in black ink on the paper and visualized her face; long black curly hair, brown eyes, pink cheeks... and an inverted pentacle was drawn on the paper too. Ruba folded the paper twice and grabbed a rubber band from her wrist and tied it on the paper. She raised the paper to her temple and chanted three times.
