Chapter 13

We ended up at the lounge again. Luckily, at this time of night, there were only the two nurses on duty, and they were all doing their thing and making their rounds. That meant we had the lounge all to ourselves.

Good thing, too. Otherwise, we’d all have probably been bound for a lunatic asylum. What we were discussing was just that crazy.

Voodoo, protection circles, magic. Not your everyday kind of conversation at all.

We refreshed our drinks and settled in. I looked at the Shaman again. “So, at the risk of repeating myself... who and what are we dealing with here? How bad is it?”

My last question was answered just by the fact that the man wasn’t meeting my eyes. That bad, huh?

He took a deep breath. “It is my belief that we are dealing with Kalfu. The Voodoo moon god and ruler of the night. That’s where the signs are all pointing, anyway.” The Shaman nodded to Karen. “It is said that those possessed by Kalfu shed black tears. That could be the stains you are finding in the morning. That would stand to reason, as Kalfu is more active in the dark of night.”

Mom nodded. “From what I’ve read about him, he has more than a little affinity with rum, too. If that is the alcohol you have been smelling.” She paused. “Although, to be truthful, most of the Voodoo gods have an affinity for that type of spirit.”

“Gods?” Karen squeaked. Then she gave a slightly maniacal giggle. “Of course, gods. I mean, what else would we be up against?”

I put an arm around her shoulder. “You aren’t in this alone anymore, Karen. My team is pretty good at what we do.”

Wild eyes turned to me. “And this is what your team does? They fight evil gods?”

“Among other things, yes. The Goddess needed a team to combat the evil that seems to be growing here on earth.” I hesitated. “I’m not saying that my team is the only one serving her in this manner. But we are sure as heck one of them.”

And most likely one of the strongest, too. But then, this was my family we were talking about. You just didn’t get much stronger than us. Especially now that we covered not just Air, but Earth and Spirit, too. The Shaman was the Spirit aspect of our team. In point of fact, he didn’t really consider himself a witch at all. We still did, though.

So did the Goddess. She’s the one whose opinion really mattered on that subject. Even more than the Shaman’s own.

If the Goddess said you were a witch, then you were a witch. End of story. Whether you wanted to put another name to it or not. Same thing in the end.

“Can I ask how you go about doing that?”

I nodded. She could ask all right. I just didn’t have an easy answer to give her.

“It’s different with each case, dear,” Mom said, pinch-hitting for me. “We’ve never dealt with Voodoo before. This will take some research, I’m afraid.
