Dan walked into the street leading up to his house. Another day of crummy school over. Now he was 16, he didn't actually have to go to school. Well, technically. Of course his parents wouldn't let him quit. He'd come too far to give up now.
He wished he didn't have to go to school, like his sister Kat. It was her 18th birthday today. Dan didn't get her a present, of course. He never did. It wasn't like she ever got him one! But this morning, his parents didn't get on his back for it; because Kat had recieved a very big present from her parents. Dan had heard his mom say something about "all the girls in the family get this on their 18th birthday", and it being "something you have to keep secret". Dan had made a remark about it being a sowing quilt, and was consequently told off for it. But he had wondered what it was...
He went up to the front door, and rang the bell. Kat answered.
"Oh hello, fair brother, how was your day?" She said.
"Er... whatever. Dad said you couldn't start drinking until the party." Dan answered, rolling his eyes.
"Oh, I haven't been drinking", she said, grinning menacingly. "And I'm not going to the party, either."
"Dad paid $100 for that, you can't just 'not go' to your own birthday party!" Dan replied.
"He never did, that was just to keep me happy until I got my present. It was all a lie."
"It must have been a pretty darn good present if you're willing to give up your 18th birthday party for it!"
"Oh it was. And you, my pathetic little brother, will now experience it." She stood up, and picked up a small book, opening it at a marked page.
"What the heck..." Dan moved back towards the door. "If you do anything to me, mom and dad will kill you."
"Oh, I don't mind. In fact, I'm sure mom and dad wouldn't mind a new pet rabbit, or dog, or cat, or maybe a chicken for dinner or a pig for the barbeque."
"What, did they get you a pet store for your birthday?"
"You were just born an evil little kid, weren't you, Daniel? Well I think you'd make a far better animal."
"What?!" Kat raised a small wooden stick in her hand up into the air, and began reciting something from the book. When she was finished, the wand began to glow, and Dan began to feel slightly strange.
"Every female memeber in our family turns into a witch on their 18th birthday. Mom is more patient than me, she would never use her powers for wrong, but I'm not that kind."
Dan begans to feel very worried indeed....
