Torie walked into the kitchen, her mind numb, her legs stiff as she forced one foot in front of the other. She went to the butcher block, withdrew the sharpest knife she could find and turned just as Jasmin stepped into the room.

“We need alcohol as well,” she said.

Torie blinked rapidly. nodding her head. “Oh yeah, I could definitely use a drink right now.”

“What? No this isn't for us to drink, it’s to sterilize the blade.” She walked over to the liquor cabinet and withdrew the bottle of Carolina whiskey that sat on the center shelf.

She took the blade from Torie’s hand and held it over the sink. Torie’s eyes widened as she watched Jasmin pour some of the alcohol over both sides of the blade. The sight of that delicious brown liquid flowing down the sink chased whatever fear she was feeling away.

“You could have at least gotten a cup to catch that in,” she grumbled.“ We may be about to summon the dead, but that doesn’t mean we should just throw good whiskey down the drain.”

Jasmin rolled her eyes and returned to the living room.

“So what are we going to cut?” asked Torie.

“Ourselves. Just a little slice across the palm of the hand,” said Jasmin.

Torie shuddered inwardly. “Why does it have to be the hand? You said that Hollywood never got this right but that seems to be what always happens on Supernatural and every other vampire TV show. They’re always cutting their hands, and it just looks so painful.”

“Well, the cut doesn’t have to be in the hand, it can be anywhere. I mean, do you want to cut your arm? Maybe your leg? You tell me where you’d like to cut.”

“Honestly, I’d rather not cut anything.”

“Don’t worry, the cut heals very fast. It’s all part of the ritual. A healing spell is layered on top of the incantation to close the wound.”

Jasmin took the blade and laid it carefully on a white towel that had been draped over one of the console stands that Elric had pushed against the wall.

“And now for the salt,” she said.

“Let me guess, we have to layer it on top of the circle,” said Torie.

Jasmin winked at her. “Look at you catching on so fast. That’s to keep the spirit trapped inside the circle. As long as the salt line remains unbroken, the spirit is trapped within.”

“So all this time you mean to tell me that Dean and Sam were giving a Masters class on demonology?”

Jasmin smiled, laughing lightly as she took the salt and began to carefully trace the circle, careful to ensure that every inch of the outline was covered.

“So what happens if the hedge witch gets out of the circle?”

Jasmin completed the circle instead of looking at her friend. “Honestly, I don’t know. Like I said, I’ve never done this before. It’s just something I've read about.”

Torie looked around and could see her mother in the far corner of the room. The ghost appeared visibly disturbed, flickering in and out of view.
