Chapter Eighteen

The three fell to their knees, each placing a hand on Trin’s body—Jason with a light touch to her leg, Caris with her hand across her stomach, and Kennedy replacing the rag across her brow with her flattened palm instead.

“Now what?” Jason asked.

“Since she’s not waking up, we need to enter her mind to see if we can get a read on what she’s seeing. Hopefully then we’ll understand what she meant and be able to pull her out of this,” Caris explained.

“I think it’s obvious what she meant. We’re supposed to go to Salem,” Kennedy snapped. “It’s what the Goddess sent to us before, remember? ‘The Sisters of Salem forever you’ll be’, I think that’s pretty self-explanatory, don’t you? Ann and her father must have taken us all from Ipswich and are hiding out somewhere in the town of Salem.”

“Yes, you’re right. It’s pretty obvious, but I’d still like to get a read on her if possible. She should have woken up by now.” Caris peered down at her big sister, unable to hide the worry blooming on her face.

“Let’s do it.” Jason inched closer to the couch.

Closing her eyes, Caris spoke the chant that would ground them all and allow them to enter Trin’s mind. “As above, so below, ground us now, so that we may know. Show us what our sister sees, so we may aid in what she—”

“Wait!” Kennedy exclaimed at the last minute.

Trin’s eyes fluttered, and then slowly but surely opened. Easing up onto her elbows, she took in the worried faces of Jason and her sisters hovering over her, mustering a weak smile for them all. “I’m okay. I just need a minute,” she paused, “and some space.”

The three moved back, giving her enough room to sit up.

Trin placed her feet on the floor and leaned forward, gripping the edge of the couch with both hands as she attempted to regain her bearings.

“What happened, honey? Are you okay?” Jason asked.

Trin took a deep breath. “Yes, I’m okay, really. I became so overwhelmed with the memories of this place … it was like sensory overload, and my mind must’ve shut down.” She dropped her head into her hands. “There’s so much to process here.”

“And what about now?” Kennedy pressed. “Are you still being overloaded?” She moved across the room, reclaiming her seat back in the corner chair—it had always been her favorite.

Trin lifted her chin and reached for Jason’s hand. “Slightly, but not as intensely as before. I can handle it. Did you find any clues as to where we are?” she asked, referencing their younger selves as she looked around the room.

Caris frowned. “No, but we thought you might have an idea after what you said.”

Trin’s brows rose in surprise. “What did I say?”

“You whispered the word ‘Salem’ while you were still under. We thought you had a vision of where Ann and her family are hiding there,” Kennedy explained, scooting to the edge of her seat.

Trin sat still, taking a moment to think.
