it worked. just as radnarok had said. only, that was the problem. i was hoping it would fail. i didn't want to take his magick. it worked. all too well. "i don't know why, but for some reason i want to see kayla. it's like, i have to be with her." that proved it. just as radnarock had predicted, derick was now addictied to kayla the same way i was once addicted to hannah. that was a bad sign.
his mom called us back to the house. "what time is it," i asked. " it's about... 5:50. oh shit, i was supposed to call that girl. oh well, i'll do that later. kayla's all i need." damn. it was worse than i thought. he stopped caring about anyone else. just like...
no. i wouldn't remember. it would hurt too much. it always did.
i promised derick that i would see him tomarrow. as i started walking home-an hour late- the realisation of what i just did hit me. i had single-handedly taken one of my best friend's magick and made him fall in love with a girl who was far away. at least he's happy, right? this is what he wanted. but i couldn't feel any better. i had just done what even i considered a sin. "no," i said through my teeth, "NO!"
"are you sure you want me to do this," i asked,"you realise that once it's done you'll become a full-fledged with no magick- no way to defend yourself against spirits, right?" he smiled. "this is what i've always wanted." i didn't like the idea of turning him fully. the one who caused this was someone i did not trust with lunch money. but this was my friend. he wanted this. he was asking me to do this for him. the look in his eyes... i could not deny it. he asked me to do this for him and in return i could keep the magick he was giving up. but i didn't care about that. i just wanted to make him happy. seeing no other option, i gave in.
once the magick was drained i looked at him. "derick? derick!" i paniced. what had i done? he didn't respond for what seemed like an eternity. then finaly, he spoke. "lycans", he said in a shallow voice. he was afraid of something. his eyes showed that. i had to give him his abilities. his condition couldn't get worse. his face was pale. his eyes were distant.
once he had his powers back he was fine. in fact, he was just like his old self. only he wasn't. i could tell i had done something wrong...
