All eyes in the room turn to look at the man who had entered the house. Lynn gets up and hugs him, "Johnny. How you doing?"
"I'm good. These boys need to get moving before Lou starts looking for them. It's time to get back to work boys. Darren...It's good to see you again."
"Johnny." Darren states, "Sir...What?"
"They," He looks to the ceiling, "Wanted someone with some authority here. These boys are special."
The boys are standing in the middle of the room watching as the two men carry on their conversation.
Joey speaks up, "Ummm, what do you mean, authority? You're our manager."
"Yes, I'm your manager but I'm also a white lighter." Johnny smiles.
"You're a...Why do we have two?" Justin asks.
"Yeah, is this normal?" Lance questions.
"No." Four voices state
"No, son. It's not normal but neither are you boys. You're not normal witches. You are..." Lynn stops mid sentence and looks at the other adults in the room before continuing. "You are the chosen ones."
"Ok, now that's it." Chris states and drops into the nearest chair. "I'm not going anywhere until you all stop talking like we're in some kind of really bad movie."
"Shut up Chris. I have a more serious question." JC states.
"What's that JC?" Johnny asks as he and Darren turn to face him.
"You are both white lighters but none of you have explained what the hell a white lighter is. I think I'd like to know." He looks to the rest of the guys. "I think this singing and dancing thing can wait until we get a few things cleared up here."
"Ok," Johnny states. He and Darren move back into the living room and the other boys take up their seats on the floor again. Lynn and Diane also move closer. "A white lighter is a protector. We look out for you and help in anyway we can. We have the power to heal. We also have the ability to orb into a given area to find out what's going on before you enter, to make sure it is safe for you."
"But with all our powers combined we have all those abilities except for the orbing thing." JC states. "With my power to read minds, Joey's power to heal, Lance's ability to see 'albeit' spotty what's going to happen in the future, Justin's ability to freeze things and Chris' ability to move things, what exactly do we need a white lighter for, let alone two?"
"We also have the the knowledge that will help you face the things to come. But mostly we are here to guide you and teach you in the ways of white witches." Johnny responds.
"Ok, since you seem to be trowing terms around like we know them. What the hell is the difference between a white witch and a black witch?" Chris asks.
"A white witch is a witch that practices the craft and uses their powers for good. A black witch uses their powers and abilities for evil. Black witches usually work with or for the Source." Darren explains.
"And The Source would be?" Joey questions.
"The Source is...Well...He is the source of all evil." Darren states.
"So he's the devil?" Justin asks.
"No, not exactly, but close enough for now. I'm sure you'll be finding out more about him soon enough. And what we can't explain, you will find in the Book." Johnny indicates the Book of Shadows that JC is still clutching.
"I have a question for you?" Lance starts. When Johnny nods he asks, "Why does everyone keep telling JC he is different that the rest of us? What is different about him?"
"Well. That's a very good question actually, Lance. JC is different from the rest of you, but he's also very much the same as you boys." Johnny smiles.
"Gee thanks for clearing that one up," Justin quips.
"He's half witch and half white lighter. That's why we all get an undefinable vibe off of him. He is definitely one of a kind."
Joey looks at Justin and smiles, "We could have told them that."
Justin smiles back and both of them put an arm around JC's waist, "No kidding."
"So does anyone else have any questions?" Johnny asks.
"I do." JC looks up from the Book. "How do we use this? You've all stated that it can help us, answer questions and the like, but how?"
"That book has all the spells from past demon vanquishings. Everytime a demon is vanquished it will appear in this book. It also has explanations of other demons, ones that haven't been vanquished. It will be a source of great information once you have learned how to use it." Johnny states.
"And when do we learn this? It seems this would be a good place to start." JC comments.
"You are correct but we really need to get you boys over to the warehouse." Johnny states standing up.
"Hold up." Lance states. "I got a question."
"What's that Lance?" Darren answers.
"Well...If JC here is a white lighter or...(he looks at JC and blushes) part white lighter. Doesn't that mean he has the same powers as you guys too?"
"We don't know. There is no way to tell what he picked up from his witch half and his white lighter side. It does seem that he does have some abilities from both sides. Only time will tell which ones will become more dominant." Johnny replies.
"Good enough for me. I think I'm dreaming and having one hell of a nightmare but hey...I guess I'll just play along for now." Chris states getting up. "But Johnny's right. We gotta get back to the toture chamber before Lou comes looking for us."
JC stands up, picks up his backpack, "I'm not so sure this is gonna fit in here. I'm gonna need something a bit bigger if I'm gonna be backing this thing with me everywhere I go."
"We'll find something for you JC." Lynn states as she hugs each of the boys. "Take care sweeties." When she gets to JC, "You take care of them. You are the only one that can right now."
