Chapter 16

My dad got home that night and I was able to spend all of ten minutes with him. He left early the next morning. I found a goodbye note for me on the kitchen counter. It made me sad that he couldn’t even say goodbye to me. I shrugged it off, determined not to allow it to bother me.

I made breakfast for my mom and Ephraim, since it was Saturday. I figured I would do something nice for them on the weekends. Lyn sat on the counter with me while I cooked. My mom slept in and Ephraim was showering.

“So, what are you going to do?” Lyn asked. I had just finished filling her in on the lynch mob’s threats.

“I don’t know. Maybe we will make a stand and fight them, pitchfork to pitchfork,” I joked.

She shook her head at me. “You might want to take this more seriously. You know that my mom is back, she could be controlling them.”

I hadn’t thought about that. I bit into a piece of bacon and pondered the way the lady had threatened us. She was honestly scared of the house. Evangeline wouldn’t want to burn the house though. She would want to get us out, but not risk destroying the magic inside it.

“No, it’s not your mom. It’s the people. They’re scared of the house,” I told her. “What do people do when they’re scared?”

“They destroy the thing they think is evil,” Ephraim answered from behind me.

He looked gorgeous today. I noticed his hair was getting longer, almost touching his eyelashes. I didn’t mind. He ran his fingers through it to tame it, but it fell back.

“Yes, they do destroy things. Which scares me,” Lyn replied, pulling me out of my daze.

“Don’t be scared, Lyn. It’s all gonna be okay.”
