“It’s working!” cheered Gwyn as the fog began to lift. “Again, girls, again!”

In this misty haze of truth

Clear away the cobwebs from our third eye,

Show the memories of Katherine Lynde

On the night she died.

Show us what she saw and heard,

Give us the truth that we deserve.

The mist lifted higher into the air and slowly swirled into a cloud. And just as clouds begin to form shapes in the sky, so did the mist begin to form a scene.

“Oh my gosh,” whispered Gwyn with a hand to her mouth. “It’s Kat!”

“Kat!” breathed Char.

Lines and shadows formed in the scene, making Kat’s face more clearly defined, and showed her standing in front of the very cauldron they stood in front of now. With her arms held out wide to either side, she stood with her eyes closed as she chanted to the heavens. A spell book was in front of her.

“The book!” exclaimed Phyllis as wind picked up around her, blowing tendrils of her hair up around her shoulders. “She had the book that night! I knew it!”

The cloudy outline of Kat slowly lowered her arms. Thunder and lightning bellowed in the sky above them. Kat closed up the book, tucked it under her arm and headed towards the house.

“She’s leaving!” shouted Phyllis. “She’s got the book.”

“Wait. Did you just see something move over there?” asked Gwyn, pointing to a dark, shadowy cloud in the lower corner that seemed to be moving towards Kat.

“I didn’t see anything,” said Loni, squinting her eyes.

“Me either,” agreed Char.

“There!” Gwyn pointed at the dark shadow as Kat turned around.

“Oh my God,” breathed Char, staring as the cloaked figure reared back with a shovel.

“He’s going to hit her!” screamed Gwyn, her heart racing in her chest.

“Zap him, Kat, zap him!” hollered Char with hands on either side of her cheeks.

“She dropped the book!” breathed Phyllis. “She’s gonna get him!”

“Oh my God,” they all breathed in unison as they watched their friend take a hit to the head with a shovel and immediately crumple to the ground.

“Kat!” screamed Char. “No!”

Tears sprung up into Gwyn’s eyes, and she felt the immediate urge to vomit. “Kat!” she whispered, reaching a hand out to touch her friend’s face in the cloud.

Phyllis pointed at the cloudy mist. “Look, he bent over to pick up the book!” And then, as if someone had flicked off the television set, the cloud went black. “No! Keep showing us! We need to see his face!”

“It’s too late. She’s gone. It only shows us her memories,” whispered Loni. “I can’t believe this. Kat was murdered!”

“We have to do something,” said Char. “We have to tell the police.”

“It’s after midnight. We can’t go now. We’ll go in the morning,” said Phyllis.

“What are the police going to do?” asked Hazel. “You saw her killed in a magical cloud and the body’s been cremated. You have no proof.”

“We can tell them what we saw!” breathed Gwyn.

Hazel let out a puff of air. “You can tell them, but what evidence do you have?”

“We don’t,” said Char sadly.
