i have written a book about a teenager who discovers that shes a witch who had to learn to NOT use her powers so an all-powerful demon could not track her. This is about her strugle to re-learn magic and kill the real demon.

i want this published and i have already contacted a few companies. one i havent heard back from and its been a lot longer than they said and another...well i need about one thousand dollars. i added up certain things and thats the round estimate. i dont have to pay for the copy editing because my older brother has a friend that is doing that for me but i still need money.

heres a sample of it...

The Next Witch

Chapter 1

Randi Edwards walked into her bedroom sleepily with a toothbrush in her mouth and her hair wet. She stumbled into her bathroom, spit, and rinsed her mouth out. She climbed into her bed and fell asleep instantly.
A girl. Dark hair. Short. Dark eyes. She walked into a living room. There’s a woman sitting on a couch. The little girl walks to her. “Mommy, I had a bad dream,” she whimpers. “It’s alright, honey,” her mother answers. A teddy bear sitting on the floor suddenly floats up into the air and into the little girl’s hands. “Go back to bed. You just forgot Mr. Giggles,” her mother says. The little girl stumbles back into her bedroom and goes to bed.
Randi sat up straight in her bed. She got up and walked into the bathroom and splashed water on her face. She looked into the mirror and saw that she was sweating.
“Was that me?” she asked herself quietly. This wasn’t the first dream she’d had. She’d had many dreams before and in all of them there had been something that should have been impossible. Once the little girl disappeared from one place and appeared in another in the blink of an eye. Another time the mother waved her arm and a guy who had a gun went flying back. There were many more. Randi could never understand why this girl –her –and her mother could do all these things and why she was having all these dreams.
“I’ll worry about it in the morning. I’m exhausted.” And with that she stumbled into her bed and fell back asleep.
In the morning Randi got out of bed, took a shower, got dressed, and went downstairs to have breakfast before she had to go to work at Taco Bell.
“Morning Mom,” she said and sat down at the table. ”Where’s Dad?”<br> “He left for work earlier than usual today,” her mother, Emily, said. “Eat your breakfast. Your brother called. He told me to tell you hi and that everything on campus was great.”<br> “Cool. Remind to call back when I get home today,” Randi said as she ate ham and eggs.
“Did you have nice dreams?” Emily asked.
“Uh…not really,” answered Randi.
“Did you have a nightmare?” asked her mother with an almost concerned look on her face.
“Sorta,” she started. “I keep having these dreams about a little girl and her mother. The little girl looks like I do in pictures from a long time ago. Same with you and her mother. What’s weird is they can do strange things that should be impossible.”<br> “Like what, honey?” Emily said sitting down at the table.
“Well, the mother moved her arm and sent a guy flying backward. And last night the mother made a teddy bear come to her by just holding out her hand. And once, the little girl disappeared and reappeared in another place in the blink of an eye,” said Randi looking at her mother.
“Oh dear,” Emily said with an oh-no look on her face. “Honey, when you get home from work we really need to talk.”<br> “Um, okay,” Randi said as she grabbed her stuff and walked out the door.
Suddenly she stopped and then she saw something happening.
A woman. She’s getting into a car. A loud bang in the distance. The woman fell. She was bleeding.
“Oh my gosh!” Randi would have fallen to ground if her car hadn’t been there. “Who was that?”<br> She was barely able to climb into her car so she decided to call her friend and have her pick her up. When her friend, Chelsea Morgan, came she kept asking what was wrong.
“Nothing, I’m just tired,” Randi insisted.
“You don’t look tired, you look like you just saw a ghost!” Chelsea said.
“Okay. You really want to know?” asked Randi.
“Yeah,” she said.
“Okay. I saw some one get shot. But, I wasn’t there. I was walking to my car and all the sudden it was like I had a vision. It was as weird as my dreams,” she answered.
“Wow. Where was it?” Chelsea asked, concerned.
“Um. I think the k-mart parking lot. Why?” asked Randi.
Chelsea whipped around the corner and pulled into the k-mart parking lot.
“Here?” she asked.
“That’s her!” Randi yelled and jumped out of the convertible not even bothering with the door. She leaped at the woman knocking her down
Bang! They heard a gun go off. A bullet hit the car.
“You saved my life!” the woman said.
“Whoa! Randi you totally saved her! You rock!” yelled Chelsea getting out of her car. Randi took off running towards where the bullet came from. “Randi! Where are you going?!”<br>Randi tackled a guy and a gun went flying out of his hands.
“I don’t think so mister! You cannot try to kill some one and get away with it!” screamed Randi like a madwoman. “Call the police! Now!”<br>“I’m on it!” yelled Chelsea as she pulled her cell phone out of the car.
“And get an ambulance for the lady!” Randi yelled. She rolled the guy over onto his back and held him there. He struggled but couldn’t get free.
A police car came screeching into the parking lot.
“Ma’am, are you okay?” asked the police officer.
“I’m fine. That young girl saved my life!” she answered.
“I’ll take care of it from here, miss,” said the other officer.
“Okay.”<br>“Ma’am can you come down to the station to give a statement?” asked the first officer.
“Yeah, I just have to call my mom and work,” Randi answered.
“Okay,” said the police man.
“Here, use my cell.” Chelsea handed her the phone.

Later that day Randi walked into the house to see her mother sitting at the kitchen table.
“Honey! You’re home!” said her mother standing up.
“Yep! I’m home,” said she said as she sat down.
“Are you okay? Did you get hurt? Randi’s home!” said Emily.
“Mom, I’m fine! Hi Dad!” Randi said.
“Hi, honey! I heard about you’re little adventure today. How did you know that lady was going to die?” asked Randi’s father, Rick.
“It was weird. I was walking out to my car and all of the sudden I saw it. The lady being shot. It was freaky, dude!” answered Randi.
“Oh no,” he said.
“What?” asked Randi looking from her mother to her father.
“We need to talk,” Rick started.
“What is it?” asked Randi starting to freak out.
“You…how do I say this? You can do things other people can’t do,” he said.
“Like what?” asked Randi.
“Well, like you said you can see things happen so that you can prevent it from happening. And when you were little you always made you’re teddy bear come alive. And you could… throw fire,” Emily said slowly.
“What!?”<br>“Well, I guess we’re saying you’re a witch,” said Rick.
“I’m a what?!” yelled Randi.
“Calm down. It’s not that bad. I mean, you can help people. You can save people like you did today. Except that because you haven’t used your powers in so long you are very powerful. You can do a lot of good or a lot of bad,” explained Rick.
“You also have guardians. You will have to notify The Council of Witches. They will tell you who your new guardian will be,” Emily said.
Randi was speechless. She just sat there staring at her parents. They looked back at her hopefully.
“You’re kidding, right?” she finally said. Then off the look her parents gave her she said, “You’re not kidding! And you just didn’t tell in the past seventeen years! What, did you just forget?! And you tell me after what happened today! Are you human? Do you know how much this is on a girl? I’m only seventeen!”<br> “Calm down. It’s not that bad,” her mother said.
“Calm down? Are you kidding? How am I going to calm down? I’m a freakin’ witch!” she screamed and stormed up the stairs. She ran to her room and flopped onto the bed sobbing.
“Randi,” her mother said quietly knocking on the bedroom door.
“Go away!” Randi yelled.
“We need to talk.”<br> “No we need to leave me alone!”<br> “Alright, but you can’t tell anyone what you are.”<br> “Great! More pressure! Just go away!”<br>

ok ill post some more...

The next morning Randi went downstairs and started to go out the door for work when her mother stopped her.
“Now, remember you can’t tell anyone about what we talked about last night,” she reminded her.
“Can we just not talk about this right now? I’m not sure I even want to talk about this ever!” Randi said as walked past her mother and out the door.
She went out to her car and hopped into her mustang. She turned the radio on and started down the road. Then all the sudden she had another ‘vision’. She slammed down the breaks.
Randi’s room. A big hairy guy with a hundred eyes and twelve arms appears in the room. Randi is there filling out college application forms. She jumps up and waves her arm. Big and hairy guy goes flying into the wall amazingly without knocking it into a million pieces. Randi put her hand out strait in front of her and fire came shooting out of her hand. The flames engulfed big and hairy. He and the fire disappeared and Randi went back to the forms.
“Oh my gosh!” Randi said as she realized that she was in the road. She pulled out of the driveway completely and went down the road thinking about what she saw. When she got to work and went in the door every one there started clapping.
“Hey, Randi! We heard what you did yesterday! That is so cool!” yelled her friend, Mandy.
“All I did was move the lady outta the way,” Randi said.
“And tackle the guy with the gun and hold him there until the cops got there!” Mandy screamed.
“No biggie! It wasn’t even hard.” Randi rebutted.
“I heard you knocked him over and stole his gun and held it in his face!” yelled some girl sitting in a booth in the back with some other girl.
Some one else yelled, “I heard you killed him but he came a live again!”<br> “Learn how to talk!” Randi’s boyfriend, Jason yelled. He had walked in behind Randi but no one saw him.
“You heard him! Now all of you be quiet and leave the poor girl alone!” yelled the manager who was walking out of a door that said Employees Only. “Come on, Randi. Let’s talk.”<br> “Can Jason come too?” Randi asked.
“Sure,” answered the manager.
All three of them walked into the same door that the manager walked out of.
When they walked into a room that looked a lot like an office the manager said, “Have a seat. My name is Mr. Frankson. I heard what happened and you don’t have to work if you don’t want to for awhile.”<br> Randi interrupted, “I don’t need to take time off! I can handle myself! I am not in shock! I am not going to be scarred for life! I am sick of people feeling sorry for me and making up stories about what happened!” she stormed out of the room and slammed the door behind her. “You want to spread rumors about what happened?! Well, here’s what really happened! My friend Chelsea and I pulled into the parking lot. I saw that she was going to get shot jumped and knocked her out of the way. Then I went after the guy that tried to shoot her! I tackled him and held him down while Chelsea called the cops! I didn’t hold him for that long because there was a cop car right around the corner! I did not kill him let alone grab his gun! If I hear any one say anything besides what I just said I will personally hold you down and scream in your ear until you go deaf!” she screamed at the people eating and waiting to be served. Then she ran out the door and hopped into her mustang. She turned the key in the ignition and sped off.

Randi drove around town for awhile listening to the radio. She had it blaring as loud as it would go. She was listening to rock and roll. She usually listened to country but she wasn’t in the mood. She figured she would drive around until she was stopped by a cop, found by one of her friends, or calmed down enough to go home. That was when she remembered her vision. She whipped the car around the corner and sped home.
Randi went running into the house and up the stairs. She ran into her bedroom in time to see big and hairy appear. She did exactly as she remembered in her vision. And she defeated him! Or her.
Emily walked into the bedroom. “What is all that noise?” Then she saw a burn mark on the rug. “Oh my! You killed a demon! I’m proud of you. Well, anyway I got you an appointment with the Council of Witches. You have to be there tomorrow at noon. Ok?”<br> “I’m fine mother. Thanks for asking,” Randi said sarcastically.
“I’m sorry honey! I was just excited,” she said.
“Whatever,” said Randi, as she picked up some college applications that were sitting on her desk. She started to fill them out then dropped them.
“That is weird,” she said under her breath
