Chapter Six

As soon as I woke up the next morning, I watched the video. My jaw was slack as I watched the blinds close around two in the morning. I rewound and watched the video three more times. The blinds definitely closed, and there was no one closing them.

That was the moment that I began to believe that maybe Maude wasn’t crazy after all, but I wasn’t quite at a place where I could admit it. I decided the best thing to do was to call my mom and ask her what she knew. The phone rang a few times and went to voicemail. I sat my phone down on the bed and was about to try and move on with my day when it rang again.

“Hello, darling.” My mother sang into the phone. “I’d begun to think I was never going to hear from you again. I’m glad to hear you’re alive.”

“Hi, Mom. Sorry it took me so long to call. Things got a little dark in my head after Donnie and I divorced, and things just sort of spiraled out of control. I should have called.”

“No worries now, Brighton. I’m just happy to hear from you.”

“I wanted to ask you about something,” I said.

“Go ahead.”

“Well, is there anything about our family that I should know. I mean, are there any weird things about us?”

“Oh lord, Brighton. I have no idea what you’re talking about, but I think there are weird things about every family.”

“No, I mean, like anything… I don’t know how to put this… Like, maybe paranormal.”

“You should be careful talking about that stuff, Brighton. You know my Aunt Maude was crazy, and I’d hate for you to end up like her. You said your head went somewhere dark. Maybe you need to see someone. Do you know anyone who could recommend a good therapist?”

“I don’t think that’s what I need, but you’re right.” I didn’t think she was right, but if she didn’t know anything about the magic and witches, I didn’t want her to start thinking I really was crazy. “How have you been, Mom?”

After that we just chatted for a while until she had to go for her vitamin infusion appointment. I wasn’t quite sure what that was, but it sounded an awful lot like getting an IV full of vitamins.

Once I was off the phone with her, I had to figure out who else I could ask. I remembered that my grandma had warned me not to come to Coventry, so I decided to call her.

“Hello, darling.” My grandmother sang into the phone. “I just got a text message from your mother letting me know that you’re not dead after all.”

“Sorry I haven’t called in a while, Grams.”

“It’s okay, I’m just glad to speak to you now, but please don’t be a stranger in the future.”

“I won’t,” I said. “But, I do need to ask you about something important.”

“Anything, Brighton.”

“Why did you tell me not to move to Coventry?”

“Oh my. Brighton, did you move into Hangman’s House?”

“I did.
