"So let me get this straight. You, our mother, and I are the only ones in our family that are witches?" Jack scoffed in disbelief.

"It's true." Malcolm shrugged.

"Why the hell did you bring us down here?!" Mark demanded.

"A friend of our mother is looking for you two and wanting to kill both of you, as well as all of your other friends." Malcolm explained.

"You're insane! I'm not a witch, no one in our family is a witch!" Jack exclaimed.

"Do I really have to prove it to you?" Malcolm sighed wearily.

"Sure." Jack huffed, rolling his eyes.

Malcolm muttered something incoherently under his breath, causing Mark to rocket towards him with Jack in tow since their chairs were attached.

"Is that proof enough?" Malcolm asked as he caught the edge of Mark's chair in his hand.

"What the-how did-" Jack and Mark spluttered in awe and confusion.

"Like I said, I'm a witch. Well, technically a warlock since I'm a guy, but whatever." Malcolm shrugged casually.

"Who is this 'friend' of our mother's?" Jack inquired, twisting his head slightly to look at his older brother.

"Her name's Rowena. She tried to recruit out mother into this coven she was creating called the Mega Coven, but she said no, and now Rowena's pissed and wants to get revenge by killing everyone she knows and loves, including all of our families' loved ones. That and ma had sex with a non-witch, which pissed Rowena off further since she was kicked out of the Grand Coven for it and ma wasn't since no one believed Rowena when she told them the truth." Malcolm explained slowly as if speaking to a small child, letting go of Mark's chair and walking around to face Jack.

"Why did you tie us up if you're trying to protect us?" Jack frowned in confusion.

"And why did you disguise yourself?" Mark interjected.

"Alright. I tied you two up because if neither of you believed me, I didn't want you two running off and getting captured by Rowena. Also, I disguised myself because I wasn't quite sure if I should reveal myself or not. But, I figured Sean had the right to know since he was involved in this mess." Malcolm sighed reluctantly.

"And you hurt Mark why exactly?" Jack chimed in.

"Now my fault that he tried to beat me up when he first arrived here, so I had I defend myself." Malcolm responded, sounding slightly apologetic.

"So was the voodoo dolls from you?" Jack added.

"First of all, those weren't voodoo dolls, they were hex bags hidden in dolls to throw you off. Secondly, no, I'm assuming that they're from Rowena." Malcolm answered.

"How did you bring us here then?" Mark spoke up.

"I summoned you both here by using DNA samples from you two" Malcolm stated calmly.

"Is that all of your questions?" Malcolm continued patiently.

Jack and Mark hesitated before nodding, earning a relieved look from Malcolm.

"Good, now we can talk about how I'm going to train Sean how to be a wizard." Malcolm grinned as he clapped his hands together before kneeling down and untying the rope that was restraining Mark and Jack.

Jack and Mark both gladly stood up and stretched once they were free from their chairs, rubbing their wrists that were rubbed raw and burned bright red.

"Follow me, I'll explain everything over dinner." Malcolm promised, leading the two upstairs.

"Wait, how long have we been down here?" Jack asked as Malcolm opened the door.

"For Mark's it's been two days since Rowena knew where he was and had to be hidden first. For you Sean, it's only been several hours." Malcolm replied before walking upstairs, the two following behind him into the bright light.

Jack winced as his eyes adjusted to their new surroundings.

He was surprised to find himself in his parent's wood cabin instead of Malcolm's house like he expected.

"Why are we here?" Mark questioned as he observed his surroundings through squinted eyes like Jack.

"Rowena knows where I live, but she has yet to find this cabin. Oh and Sean, in case you were wondering, this is why we lived in a cabin in the middle of the woods." Malcolm stated as he led the two into the kitchen and had them sit down at the table while he rummaged through the fridge for food.

"Where's ma and dad?" Jack asked as he sat down next to Mark.

"Ma took off with dad to protect him and herself." Malcolm stated as he retrieved leftover spaghetti covered in sauce from the fridge and placed it in the microwave.

Jack felt his stomach rumble as he watched the spaghetti spin slowly in the microwave, eager to eat since he hadn't had anything all day.

"So," Malcolm began as he pulled the spaghetti out of the microwave and placed it on the table with three plates and forks.

"I'll try and teach you the basics as fast as I can since we're kinda pressed on time." Malcolm spoke through a mouthful of spaghetti to Sean.

"I still think that this is fucking crazy." Jack muttered as he twirled strands of spaghetti around his fork.

"What isn't crazy in the world now?" Malcolm chuckled, his tone slightly bitter.

"Oh yeah, here's your phones back." Malcolm smiled apologetically as he handed Mark and Jack their phones back from his pocket.

Instantly they both called their girlfriends to tell them that they were alright.

"Signe? Yeah, I'm okay....it's a long story for where I'm at, but I'm at my parent's house....no it wasn't the voodoo dolls...yes it's another long story I'll explain later once I make sense of it all...okay, I love you, and I'll try to be home soon. Okay...bye." Jack reluctantly hung up.

"Amy's taking it better than I thought." Mark mused as he hung up as well.

"We're lucky to have such lovely girlfriends." Jack smirked.

"Alright," Malcolm set his fork down and clapped his hands together to get their attention.

"Here's the plan for defeating Rowena and teaching Sean the basics of how to be a warlock."
