Chapter Twenty

Hilary gagged and turned away.

She had to get out of there.

Grabbing the car keys from the cabinet, she flew out of the house in panic, leaving the gruesome gift behind. The image of Sandra’s eyes staring back at her burned into her mind.

She raced off, the tires squealing.

Minutes later she pulled up outside of St. Jude’s Church. Driving round the back, she parked and rushed into the church, hurrying down the aisle.

“What am I doing here?” she whispered, suddenly nervous she was alone. Candles provided dim lights, which heightened her fear.

It had been a long time since she’d stepped foot in her childhood church, but it was the only place she could think of where she would be safe. Looking around, the religious iconography still scared her, but she needed guidance, and this church was the only place she felt she could get it.

Sinking to her knees in front of the statue of Christ, she sobbed, “Heavenly Father. If you can hear me, I don’t know where to turn and need you now, more than ever. I was taught not to believe in the Devil, but something evil has taken my friend. Please, I’ll do anything, just help me.”

Suddenly, the fog that had clouded her mind for so long lifted, and for the first time, Hilary admitted the truth to herself–Sandra was dead.

Her whole body shook, the physical pain and heartbreak of losing the woman she’d thought of as her sister was too much.

“Oh, God. Please help her.” Hilary couldn’t stand to think of her friend in pain.

Of course, God didn’t answer.

She sat on the cold, tiled floor with her back to the altar.

She had walked down the aisle on her wedding day, Sandra mere steps behind her. That was the happiest day of her life, and now on the saddest of days, she found herself back there, bereft, not knowing what to do, when suddenly, pearl coloured orbs dropped slowly from the vaulted ceilings, illuminating the church beautifully.

Hilary staggered to her feet as the orbs danced in mid-air.

She rubbed her eyes, convinced she was hallucinating, but out from the glow of the orbs, stepped a man.

He stepped toward her, but his face was obscured by the light that surrounded him. With the light came a warm feeling she had never experienced before and for the first time in months, she felt serene and an overwhelming sense of love wash over her.

He stood in front of her. The orbs dimmed and faded away, his features becoming clearer.

“It’s you,” Hilary said, shocked he was there.

“I’m not meant to interfere,” David Price replied, serenely. “But I had to come.”

“How are you here? I don’t understand.”

“I’ve been watching you. I couldn’t bear to see you so alone.”

“You have to help me.”

“I’ll do everything within my power, but it won’t be easy. Juliet fooled us all. Nobody expected her to be as powerful as she is, and now she’s close to finishing what Samantha started all those years ago.”

“What are we going to do?”

“We have to stop her.
