Anastasia Reads came storming into the dinning room of her family's Manner. "That is the third this week someone has tried to kill one of us!" She said over to her mother and aunties, as she grabbed a bottle of wine and poured herself a glass. Her cloths where torn and mud covered over half her body. "Tie isn't going to keep sending use his little pests. Sooner or later he'll want to come after us." Anna Stated as she sat at the round table, while her mother come over with a freshly brewed potion. "drink this first dear..." she said as she took away the wine and replaced it with the potion.<br/><br/>"We need to get some<span style="font-style: italic">proper</span>help." Anna added as she drank the potion in one, pulling a dislike full face as the potion left a bitter taste within her mouth. "We'er doing the best we can dear, but they got someone on the inside, telling how to break and miss some of our protecting spells." Her elder auntie Maggie said as she attended to some of Anna's deep cuts. For a moment she sat there in silence allowing her auntie to clean some of her wounds and place some remedies onto them.<br/><br/>With a sudden urge she quickly got up from her chair and headed out of the room. "There's got to be another way to keep use safe!" She shouted over to them as she ran up the stairs. Although she was feared for her mother and aunties it was her younger sister Poppy she was more worried about. She had only just turned 13 and getting used to some of the simple spells that she had to learn. She still didn't know quite how to protect herself and she herself couldn't be with her all the time.<br/><br/>As she reached the attic she closed the door behind her and locked it tight. Anna always worked best if she was alone and right now she need to find a new way to help protect her family. Hours went by as she flick though book after book. All getting to older and more less helpful. Lying on the floor she let out a large sigh. It was now way pass midnight and she had gone though every book, or so she thought. As she looked around the room her eyes fell to an old large book which was being used as part of a leg for a small table in the corner of the room. Frowning she made her way over to it and carefully took it away placing it with a bin placed upside down. Sitting on the floor she flicked through the pages till one page court her eye.<br/><br/>There where many symbols all for different things and reason but she found herself drawn to one. These where all demon symbols and as she read the page she learned that she could make a contract with anyone of them if summon. The thought rushed to head 'If I was to make a contract with one to protect us then we would have a better chance to stay safe' This, to her was the only way that she would be able to make sure that her family was safe.<br/><br/>Reading the book she followed it's commands. Lighting candles she placed them around the room and turned off the light so that just the candles and the full moon was the only things that was keeping her from darkness. She drew the demon's symbol she was drawn to on the wooden floor of the attic and sat at the bottom of it. Then she recited the Prayer from the book.<br/>'In the name of Satan / Lucifer, ruler of the earth, God of the universe, I invite the forces of darkness to bestow their infernal power upon me. Lord Satan, by my grace, grant me, i pray thee the power to conceive in my mind and to execute that which i desire to do, the end which I would attain be thy help, O mighty Satan, who livest and resigned forever and ever, I entreat thee to inspire Andras to manifest before me that he may give me true and faithful answer, so that I may accomplish my desired end, provide that it is proper to his office. This I respectfully and humbly ask in your name, lord Satan, do you deem me worthy, father.'<br/><br/>As soon as she read the words a swirl of smoke appeared in the middle of the symbol and all but the one candle in front of her went out. Anna stared at the smoke awaiting for what or who would appear from the smoke, her heart racing ever so lightly.
