I Kissed My Professor And He Liked It novel Chapter 257

Ella’s POV

“So, what do we need for this spell to work?” I asked as my mother and Hazel who were both reading the spell book intently.

“Elemental candles, which I have back at home,” Hazel said as she continued reading. I also need a bowl of rose petals, which I can get from the gardens.”

“I’ll pick the roses,” my mother offered. “Should we have the ritual in the village center at sundown?”

Hazel nodded.

“That sounds great,” she agreed.

“What should I do?” I asked.

They both paused and looked at me.

“Return to Diana’s house and help them with dinner,” my mother said gently. “Make sure they are ready to cast a spell tonight. We need them mentally ready because this spell is big and it’s going to take all of us.”

“Including Colton and his mother?” I asked.

Diana and my mother exchanged looks before turning back to me.

“For this spell to work, we are going to need all of us,” Diana said, giving me a small smile. “Your mother is right, they need to be mentally alert and prepared for tonight. It could be draining for all of us.”

“Okay. I’ll let them know,” I told them.

I hugged my mother tightly before heading back to Diana’s house. I paused at the door when I heard the low rumble of music sounding from her small kitchen. It sounded similar to the music that Dee listened to while cooking as well.

I walked through the living room and stepped into the kitchen, freezing at the doorway. I couldn’t help the grin on my face as I watched Diana and Colton dancing and singing while they were cooking alongside one another.

The entire kitchen smelled delicious, and my mouth started watering. Colton was working on the mashed potatoes while Diana worked on browning the beef and sautéing the veggies.

It was nice seeing Colton so carefree and thriving with his mother, a rare sight indeed.

I walked further into the kitchen and without saying anything, I began to dance as well. I didn’t recognize the song, but it was the same style of rock that Dee often listened to. I don’t need to know the song to dance to the rhythm.

It only took a couple of minutes before Colton noticed me. At first, I thought he was going to stop dancing. I found myself laughing at his dumbfounded expression. But then he smirked and strolled over to me, taking me in his arms and twirling me around the kitchen as his mother chuckled.

“Did Hazel find a spell?” Diana then asked over the music.

“Yes. She said she’s going to need all of us in order for it to work though. So, we all have to be mentally prepared,” I answered.

“Do you know what kind of spell?”

“Something about the guardians of the earth,” I said, shrugging.

Diana froze and snapped a look at me.

“The guardians are the protectors of our earth. She’s going to summon them?”

“According to Hazel, we are all going to summon them,” I answered, looking at her in return.

“Why? Is that a problem?” Colton asked, looking at his mother curiously and yet worriedly.

“They use a lot of power,” Diana said, looking up at her son. “We might not be strong enough to keep them here.”

“But they are the protectors of the earth. Wouldn’t they want to help us?” I asked.

“They are busy protecting the earth, yes,” Diana agreed. “Which means they aren’t going to want to protect us unless we have enough powers to feed them.”

“They feed off our powers?” I asked, raising my brows.

“The guardians survive off the power of the elements. The earth holds each of those elements. When we summon them, we are taking them from the earth where they can’t feed. So, whoever summons them will need to keep them fed. If we aren’t powerful enough to feed them, they won’t stick around long.”

“Hazel seems to think we could be strong enough,” I said, shrugging.

“What would happen if they drain us?” Colton was the one to ask. “Would it kill us?”

“No, the guardians would never kill. It would weaken us if we weren’t strong enough. If they sense we aren’t strong enough right off the bat, then they most likely will leave and return to the earth without giving us the time of day,” Diana explained, shaking her head sadly. “They will only survive based on the energy we give it.”

“So, we just have to wait and see if we have enough power to feed them,” I said, I sounded more hopeful than I felt.

“My mother and I don’t have powers,” Colton reminded me.

“Maybe not physically; but she’s still a Volana wolf and you have Volana blood. That has to count for something,” I said, touching his arm gently. “Hazel thinks this can work. We have to have faith in her or else it won’t work at all. She needs us to be mentally prepared, which means we need to have faith.”

“She’s right,” Diana said, nodding her head. “We will have faith that Hazel knows what she’s doing. If she says this will work, then I believe her.”
