Chapter Seventeen

A loud bang sounded out. Annabelle and I hurried over to the foyer. The gang of coven members rushed through the front door like they were being chased by a crazed clown carrying a chainsaw.

“Where have you all been?” I crossed my arms in front of my chest. I felt like I was their mother asking why they’d been out so late.

“We’ve been busy exploring the outside of the manor.” Rebecca motioned over her shoulder.

I eyed them all suspiciously. “Well. Okay. I guess that’s okay. Did you all do anything in the house while I was gone? It looked as if you used the cauldron in the kitchen.”

“Oh, was that not okay?” Rebecca asked.

“We just did a spell for beautiful weather so that we could enjoy the outside.” Barbara smiled.

That seemed a little too innocent if you asked me. I furrowed my brow. “Well, considering I asked you not to do any more spells…”

Suddenly a crash rang out. The noise had come from the kitchen. We ran across the room and when I reached the kitchen, I found the cauldron had fallen onto the floor. What the heck had happened?

“Oh dear. That’s unfortunate.” Rebecca shook her head.

What had they done to the cauldron? That cauldron had been in my family for ages. Maybe I didn’t get a lot of use out of it, but I still didn’t want it destroyed.

“We’ll help you lift it back up,” Sarah said as she motioned for the women to join her.

With some grunting and groaning, the coven members and I lifted the cauldron back onto its hook. I wiped my hands on my pants and turned around to see that Kelley was looking at me oddly. I knew I had to explain that I had the Book of Mystics and that I’d brought back the other witches too. Surely she would know about the book if she was a coven member. If the women from 1785 knew, then she had to know of its existence too.

Had I really brought back all of the witches? The odds were likely that I had. How else would they have gotten here? Nope. There was no other way. It was definitely my fault.

“I have the Book of Mystics,” I said, looking at Kelley.

She nodded. “Well, since you’re the leader, I assumed that you had it. I hope everything is all right,” she said with a look of concern.

So she was aware of the book. That led me to my next question. “Who was the leader when you were here last?” I asked.

She frowned. “You’ll have to excuse me, but I’m not so good with names. I can’t seem to remember many names since I’ve returned.”

“Oh, I understand. I’m sorry,” I said.

I hated to press her for info, especially since the poor girl was having memory issues, but any little details she could provide could possibly be of tremendous help.

“Do you remember anything about the leader? Was it a man or a woman?” I asked.

I should have been able to find this information at the library.
