Joe was walking around school looking for his friend, Anna, Joe is 14 he's tall with short brown hair that looked like it was painted on, he was extremely skinny and had the darkest brown eyes that were almost black. Joe was carrying a dusty brown book with strange symbols on the front.
"Anna, hi we need to go" Joe said,
"Why, what's wrong? Anna replied,
"Follow me"
"What is that?"
"It doesn't matter, follow me"
Joe walked quickly, in front of Anna heading towards the school fields.
"Where are you going?" Anna asked wearily
"Just follow me I think I found something in here"
"What?"
Joe gave no reply and just carried on walking, until he got to the edge of the field.
"What are we doing Joe?"
"Just hold on"
Joe started to mutter words that meant nothing to Anna.
"What are you saying Joe?"
She got no reply.
"Joe?"
Suddenly the ground started to cave in and steps started to form going down for what looked like forever.
"What the fuck did you do, we're going to get expelled now!"
"It closes behind us don't worry"
"How...why...how!"
"I don't know but I think you can do it as well"
"Can you do that anywhere?"
"No just here"
They walked down the steps and every time they walked past a torch it blew up in flames to provide light whilst they walked down. Eventually the steps stopped and opened into a gloomy wooden room.
"What are we doing here Joe"
He muttered some more gibberish and the candles made the room light up.
There were bookshelves on every wall with more books like the one Joe was carrying. These books are called grimoires, they contain spells that witches and warlocks had written down over hundreds of years. Joe had found his one in his attack, it was written by his grandfather who had died before he was born but was somehow written for Joe.
Hanging from the ceiling were dream catchers and other magical objects that neither of the two had any clue what they were. At the back of the room was a desk pilled up with old, dusty papers.

Anna and Joe walked over to the desk and searched the drawers. Anna found a knife with her surname on.
"Joe look"
"Wow a dagger" Joe said with the most over the top sarcasm
"Look at the name!"
"Oh right, It's like my grimoire, it was written by my grandfather but he died before I was born, but when I found it, it was in a box with my childhood toys in and other stuff but in the bottom this was there. It also has my name written in the front."
"This draw, it's full of stuff with my families surname on, look one of those book thingies"
"It's a witches or warlocks book that has their families spells in, they pass it down to the next of kin but only if they have potential"
"What did you say it was called"
"Oh right it's called a grimoire, I read through this one and there was a diary entry, it said that he'd seen me in a vision, in my attic finding this grimoire, so I think before a witch or warlock dies they see a vision of the next witch or warlock In their family finding the grimoire, so they make sure the grimoire is there so it is found when the time is right"
"Wow, that's actually really cool, can you pass me my bag it's on the floor by the steps"
Joe walked over to where the steps were supposed to be but they were gone, he picked up the bag and walked back over to Anna.
"The stairs have gone"
"What!"
"They've disappeared"
"Try that thing you did that let us get in"
"Ok, hold on, how about you try"
"What?"
"I said you try, it's easy just read this spell from my grimoire"
Anna started to chant "pertotum chaibada iksay" over and over again.
Suddenly, the stairs started to re-appear.
"You did it, well done" Joe said.
"How...this is so weird, I have to go tell Abbie and Charlotte"
"No, no, no we can't they can't know, not yet my grandfather had a diary hidden in here it said the Wells and O'Neil families are another sort of mythical creature but he didn't specify"
"But we would know surely"Anna said
"Maybe their powers or whatever haven't been activated yet"
"Whatever they are, I would believe after what I just did"
"We better leave before lunch ends"
