“ My mother is a witch.”
“ Cara. Your mother is just mean. She’s not a witch, you just don’t like her.”
“ You don’t understand Karen. She really is a witch! Karen I”m not kidding. I don’t know what she wants with you, but it’s not good.”
“ Cara, this is like the time the janitor was the Boogeyman. Don’t interrupt. Or how our science teacher was really an alien from Mars who wanted to harvest our hair.”
“ Ok. I admit that I made a mistake, ok several mistakes. But, I’m not making a mistake this time. You have to listen to me. You can’t go with her alone.”
“ What’s she going to do Cara? Suck my brains out?”
“ No. She’ll suck out your soul and keep it in the little glass amulet she has around her neck.”
“ Why would she keep it around her neck? Isn’t that obvious.”
“ I dunno. She wants them near her heart or something. But, that’s not the point. I need to know what she said to you when you came over tonight.”
“ Uh.. She said ‘You have beautiful eyes.’ And that’s it. Ah. Turn off the light.”
“ Sorry. That’s not good. Do you remember Raechel Sardona?”
“ Hmmm.. um.. Did she have the really long black hair.. And was really really skinny.?”
“ Yeah.”
“ Yeah, then I remember her. You and her were like wicked close weren’t you? Best friends maybe?”
“ Yeah.. She was my best friend. But my mother got to her. She took her home one morning.. and she was never seen again.”
“ A person can’t get away with murder nowadays. I mean.. Forensic science and everything.”
“ She’s not a normal person. The laws of this plane don’t count for her. She can do whatever she wants. She wanted something of Raechel’s. But, I never did find out.”
“ Yeah.. So where’s your proof that your mother sucked out Raechel’s soul.”
“ Do you really want to find out?”
“ Yes. Because until I see some proof I’m not going to believe you.. And I’ll have her drive me home without you.”
“ Allright. Come with me.”
“ Where are we going?”
“ Her room.”
“ God, Cara. What are we doing in here. I feel like we’re doing something illegal.”
“ Technically we are doing something illegal. She specifically forbade us from coming in here.”
“ Why do I get the feeling that we’re being watched.”“ It’s Mousekins. He’s her cat. He’s not very mean, except when she’s around. Then he’ll be a total terror.”
“ Is Mousekins all black? Like they say in all of the books. You know black is the color of evil right?”
“ Don’t get hysterical on me. And no, Mousekins is white. But, both of his parents were pitch black. He’s just a little bit different. Like maybe his parents weren't really his parents.”
“ Huh, you and Mousekins soudn kind of alike, just a little bit different. Heh. what are we doing in here anyways?”
“ We're getting your proof. It’s just over here. Be careful, don’t knock anything over. Or mother will know we’ve been here and then not even I can save you.”
“ How is it that you haven’t gotten your soul sucked out yet.”
“ Because... I don’t really know. She’s scared of me I think. I dunno. It must be something in my blood. I’m adopted.”
“ Oh.”
“ Here it is. Now, just put your hands on this glass orb.”
“ Like this? Over a little? Ok. I think I’m all set.”
“ Raechel.. Raechel.. I need you to come back from the depths of the darkness to show a non-believer. Just follow the light from our hands, follow the blood flowing through our veins. Follow the beat of her heart.”
“ Oh My God. Cara.. Theres someone in the orb. She’s trying to tell me something. Cara, what are you doing? Why are your eyes like that, Cara? You’re scaring me. Your eyes aren't supposed to be red. ”
“ It’s ok Karen. Rae’s told me that getting your soul sucked out really doesn’t hurt. But, then again anything is better than eternal darkness, isn't it?”
“ Cara, what are you talking about? You told me it was your mother that was the witch. Not you. Cara, you’re my best friend you can’t do this to me.”
“ My mother? My mother couldn't evern hurt a fly. And anyway, What better way to get you to my lair? Hahaha. And you believed me. You know, Raechel said the same thing to me. About me being her best friend. Don’t start crying now. It’ll only hurt for a little bit, and then there will be nothing for a long, long time.”
