”I seriously feel like you're Pru, I'm Piper, and you're Phoebe.” Gab commented, looking from Leslie to Apollo. ”We're the Charmed ones, now.” He let out a quiet laugh.

Apollo rolled his eyes and Leslie just ignored him while she studied the black hardbound book once more and nodded to herself, a sign that she was ready to cast a spell. They were seated comfortably like Buddhas on the black timber floor. They were inside a big circle with a five-pointed-star, or a so-called pentacle that Leslie had prepared. White chalk was used to draw the circle with a star; it had small white candles inside its five triangles. Leslie lit them with a lighter.

”Where'd you get that? Do you smoke?” Gab said, looking disgusted.

”No. Of course, not.” Leslie responded with confidence.

Apollo seemed annoyed. ”Bro, will you please start getting serious? We're doing this for Betha. It won't work if you keep on blabbering.”

”I'm not blabbering. It was a serious question,” said Gab.

Leslie, who was in between Apollo and Gab closed her eyes and took a deep breath. She opened her eyes again and turned to Gab. ”He's right. This won't work if we're not focused. We're in a consecrated space, so we could perform the ritual effectively. This circle around us is to protect us from bad spirits and energies, allowing us to fully concentrate on what we want to achieve. Please don't be that bad energy, Gab.” She explained in a serious tone.

Gab felt embarrassed. ”I'm sorry. Let's do this now. I'll fully cooperate.”

”Now, we have to make sure everything is done perfectly. We can't just simply sit like Buddhas. You must follow my Dhyana Mudra sitting position to symbolize wisdom. Look at how my hands are rested on my lap.” She explained. Apollo and Gab listened attentively and followed her instructions. ”The back of my right hand is leaning on the palm of my left hand like this. This is so we could get the complete focus that we need to make the spell work. Once our eyes are closed, we should all clear our minds and only think of what we want Apollo to turn into. All you have to do is stay quiet and listen to what I'm going to say. First, I will invoke the divine spirits, then I will chant the magic spell. We all have to focus our energy on our desire and visualize Apollo turning into the best breed of dog suited to find Betha. Are we clear? Can we start this now or do you have questions?”

”We're good.” Gab answered while Apollo simply nodded.

”Make sure to maintain this sitting position until the end. Let's close our eyes now and start.” They obediently did as they were told.

Leslie's powerful voice invoked immortal beings that started to materialize above them in a form of white clouds. The three strongly felt the divine presence, but kept their eyes closed and focused on their goal. Whistling sounds resonated and Leslie chanted the spell that she had memorized from the book that laid in front of her. ”We humbly acknowledge your presence and guidance.” She paused, inhaled and exhaled.

~We call on the highest power to bless the spell that I am about to deliver.
