Chapter Ten

The Devil: Lust and obsession fuels temptation.

When Dorothy arrived home, she leaned her broom against the wall and then sat on her couch with a heavy sigh. She stared at the TV but it wasn’t on.

The whole way home she wondered just what the hell had happened.

When she left the bed and breakfast, she had flown over by the lighthouse and Lucy’s house for a while, trying to understand all the crazy things that were going on that night. As she hovered over Lucy’s back garden, she saw that all the leaves that had been collected were gone, presumably put away by her staff.

She had taken a few minutes to stop in one of Lucy’s gardens and scoop up a handful of soil and put it into her cloak pocket. She did the same at the beach by the lighthouse.

What a night!

Dorothy reflected on all the craziness of the past 24 hours. She had just about died from mermaids, more than once even, then she was nearly rewarded for her celebrity crush only to be tossed out by him. She thought about what Oscar had said about a person threaded together.

It wouldn’t be the first time someone was haunted in this manner.

Even though Oscar had been scared, she didn’t believe that he was in any real danger there. Otherwise there wouldn’t be a successful bed and breakfast for him to stay at. That building would have been an old abandoned house that no one would want to go visit, let alone pay money—a lot of money—to stay the night at.

Some people like to get scared; they work with Ouija boards, others don’t mind seeing ghosts and still others do mind seeing ghosts. Many people couldn’t handle the idea that haunted houses were real.

She wondered what had happened that made her look translucent to him. Had she ever appeared translucent before to people? It was likely a trick of the light, the night light shining shadows from the mirror and bouncing off her pale skin. It had been nice to see the sun more than a day or two at a time recently, but it was barely spring and there were still more days of gloom than there were sun ahead.

She closed her eyes and tried to feel inside his head.

He wasn’t letting her in.

“Okay, here we go.”

She lit the candles on her altar and then a stick of incense.

She spread out his gym towel on the floor. Then she took some salt from her alter, a big handful of salt and sprinkled along the ground, making a circle around the towel and a space where she could sit next to the towel. After she did that, she took the comb that she had stolen from his room and was pleased to see some hair in the teeth. She rolled the comb and hair up into the towel. Then she sat cross-legged inside the salt circle and put the towel in her lap. She closed her eyes and put her hands lightly on her knees.
