Chapter 11

Gray and Orville stayed most of the afternoon. The kids put on their little magic show, or at least what they had put together of it so far. I remember hearing the others laughing, so I was hoping they might stand a chance at winning their little talent show.

Personally, I couldn’t tell you if their act was good or not. I was far too distracted with my thoughts.

Once they’d left, we all snacked on leftovers from the picnic.

“You okay, Opal?” Kimberly asked.

I must have been even quieter than my usual self. “I will be.”

“Sheriff still putting on the pressure?”

I nodded. “I could sure use some of the Goddess’ guidance right about now.” Then it hit me. The hilltop. Don’t get me wrong, I feel close to the Goddess wherever I am, but never closer than on top of that hill behind my house.

I bundled up and took the walk. Nancy asked if I wanted company, but I could tell her heart wasn’t in it. Besides, this was something I needed to be alone for. My decision to make.

Well, I guess I can admit that I had hoped not to be totally alone up on that hill. But I was. The Goddess was decidedly absent. Oh, not in her ethereal everything at once way. She was there in that. I could feel her calming presence, but there was a limit as to just how much that worked with my current situation. I’d hoped for a more upfront and personal visit.

But Her feet stayed firmly planted in the heavens. I was on my own on this one. Which I guess I should have been able to figure out without making the cold, hard trek up the blasted hill. All I got for my trouble was a quick trip over an errant tree root and a loss of energy.

It didn’t help matters when Nancy came running to meet me on my way back. I could tell from her face that something was wrong. Very wrong.

It took the girl a few precious seconds to catch her breath. “What is it, child? What’s happened?”

I took her by the hand and started leading her back down the path. Whatever it was, I needed to be back at the farmhouse, either way. We weren’t making quite the speed Nancy had been going, but we were darn close. She’d just have to catch her breath on the way.

“It’s Sapphire. She called and said for you to come quick. And to bring Patricia if you can.” Her words were halting, but she finally got it all out.

My sister was in trouble. Crapsnackles. This wasn’t good news at all.

I checked in with Kimberly for all of thirty seconds, on my way to grab my purse and my keys, and then I was on the road. Usually, the drive between the farmhouse and my sister’s new mansion was a nice one. It might take a bit of time to get there, but the scenery was nice and calming.

That wasn’t the case tonight.
