cookswithspite: (easy target)
Shivers run up and down Noah’s spine as he cowers off to the side, battered by stray flowers and bits of paper, unable to tear his gaze away from the bizarre game of tug-of-war going on in front of him.

“Well that’s unfortunate,” Cameron says simply. He shifts his feet, keeping his grip stubbornly on the book- for a moment, his sea green eyes glint in the moonlight and then he takes a quick breath and begins to recite:

“By the power of earth, by the power of air, by the power of fire, by the power of water,”

Noah gapes. Oh God, why is Cameron suddenly babbling nonsense-?

“By the life in the blood that liveth,” Cameron continues, “Be thou host-spirit stopped!”

Then Noah puts two and two together. It’s not nonsense that’s being babbled, it’s a spell. Cameron’s actually reading from that damned book.

“Return thy evil to whence it cometh, have thy words and deeds return to thee, as thou-”

Noah isn’t what anyone would call spiritually adept. No second sight to speak of- his first sight is poor enough to need glasses- no interest in the occult and before today, no belief to speak of. But despite this, he’s sure that no good can come of Cameron completing that spell, and so...

“STOP IT!”

...and if the sudden shout from the previously silent Noah wasn’t enough to interrupt Cameron’s reading, the way Noah clumsily throws himself at the book, between the two fighting over it, certainly is.
