Chapter Twelve

When Amy and Andre returned from their investigation of the outbuildings, David showed them the video. Both were fascinated by the find, but Andre’s eyes reflected the same apprehension that had tied Sam’s guts into knots. The rest of the group was cautious about the phenomenon, given the history of the house, but only Andre had felt anything close to what Sam had.

Sam figured he was the only one who no longer had any desire to see the thing manifest. Even Andre hadn’t had that alien intelligence slither through his brain. Sam was utterly alone in that respect. At least isolation was something he was used to. It was almost comforting.

After lunch Bo, Amy, David and Cecile set off for the library in Gautier to do research, since Oleander House didn’t have an internet connection. They also took the film from the previous day to be developed. Sam and Andre prepared to spend the afternoon and evening watching videotapes and listening to audio.

The time crept by at a glacial pace. Sam found it difficult not to let his mind wander as hour after hour passed with nothing more than the normal sights and sounds of an old house. The only thing keeping him focused on his task was what he’d experienced that morning. After having felt the otherworldly life force inside his mind, solving the mystery of Oleander House had taken on a whole new level of urgency for Sam. He had a strange sense they were running out of time. That the veil separating their safe, familiar world from the chaos he’d touched was wearing thinner each day.

If we lose that barrier, he thought grimly, we might not live to regret it.

At seven o’clock Sam switched off the last audiotape and removed his headphones. Andre had already finished and headed into the kitchen to make sandwiches for dinner. Sam went to join him. The rest of the group arrived a few minutes later.

“Y’all find anything helpful at the library?” Andre asked as they all gathered around the dining-room table.

Amy shrugged. “A few personal experiences posted on message boards and such. Nothing scientific or in any way verifiable.”

“But some of those personal experiences sounded a lot like yours, Sam,” Cecile said. “The black fog, the feeling of something inside their mind, the cold, everything.”

“We’re gonna look into it some more maybe tomorrow,” David added through a mouthful of sandwich.

“How does the electromagnetic field figure into it?” Sam asked. “Or does it?”

“We don’t know,” Bo answered. “Like Amy said, the only references we’ve been able to find so far are personal experiences and weren’t part of scientific or even amateur investigations. The people whose stories we saw had no equipment to measure EMF and no knowledge of baseline levels for the area they were in.”

“That we know of,” David pointed out. “Not that it matters. If they had that information but didn’t post it on the boards, it’s the same as if they didn’t know it to start with.”

“Right.” Bo picked up a carrot stick and nibbled on the end of it.
