"Amy." Carly ran after me, her sweet voice calling for me, and I skidded to a stop.

"Yeah sweet pea?" I panted. The need to protect her warred with my need to take care of her.

She pointed to a box on the fridge. "Daddy told me to show you the box." She bounced on her toes. "He said it was important, but I forgot about it till now." She looked worried.

"It's okay, baby girl. You did great." I ran back to the box and pulled it down. Another note was taped to it. I wanted to laugh, cause the man thought of everything. I brought it to the table and Toya stood from the couch when I slammed the box down.

"What's going on?" She walked over to us and patted Carly on her head. "Are you okay?" I opened the box only to find more herbs and four little statues. "What's this stuff for?"

But I knew. This was the start of a new barrier spell. I grabbed everything from the box and thought back to the spell in the book. The herbs were here. The statues were here. There was a lock of hair from everyone in the house that you need cloaked. But everything else is here.

"Guys, I need you down here for a minute." I dropped the bag on the table and pulled my hair free.

"What are you doing?" I sectioned a tiny portion of my hair off and I braided it. Toya came closer. "Why are you braiding your hair?"

"Come over here, baby girl." I waved my hand as I grabbed the scissors. Then I cut the braid from my head and chucked it into the box. Carly came over to me. “I have to do the same to you, baby."

"Okay." She turned, and I undid her hair. "Why though?"

as she tossed it into the box. One by one, my friends tossed a chunk of their own hair into the box. I finished the tiny braid at Carly's nape and cut it off, then I quickly redid her hair. "Look at how pretty you are. You can't even tell." Toya smiled as she
