Chapter 14

Julia smelled the sweet, yet disgusting smell that pervaded the air as soon as she opened the apartment door. White fog steadily weaved and danced in the air. Julia’s reflex kicked in, and she felt her throat closing when she tried to inhale. She coughed in response and put one hand over her mouth.

“Brad?” she called out.

She heard murmurs coming from the living room and prudently took off her shoes and coat, listening to the voices. She couldn’t tell what they were saying, but something at the back of her mind told her to be careful when entering the apartment. She peeked down the hallway towards the dining room, seeing more white smoke gyrating in the stiff air. She cautiously made her way towards the living room, tiptoeing so that she could try to discern the voices.

For a moment, she thought that she had stepped into another dimension, that the demonic spirits had somehow pulled her into a wretched world of their own, where she would remain trapped forever. She took a long stride into the living room and glanced toward the coffee table area. Relief washed over her when she saw Brad and Abraham jerking their heads towards her. Abraham was explaining something to Brad, who looked like he was just about ready to start puking from the thick fog in the living room.

“I was just explaining to your husband what to do next,” Abraham said with a grin. “So, anyway, the apartment should be clear of any negative energy now. You should have no more troubles. I sensed a lot of anger from whatever was in here during the ritual, but they’re gone now.”

Julia looked at Brad. He looked back at her with an unconvinced facial expression.

“So… just like that? They’re gone?” Julia asked as she crossed her arms.

“Yeah. Let the sage smoke stay in the air for around ten more minutes, and then you can open the windows. If you do happen to experience anything else out of the ordinary, feel free to call me, and I’ll do another ritual, free of charge.”

“Thanks,” Brad said, although with a somewhat sardonic timbre. “How much do we owe you for this pleasure?”

Definitely sarcastic, Julia thought to herself. She would have laughed had the situation been a little less disheartening.

“That will be six hundred and fifty dollars,” Abraham said.

Julia expected the price to be in that range because when she found Abraham on Facebook (or rather, the well-tailored ad found her on her newsfeed), she knew that the basic price for cleansing the apartment would be five hundred dollars but that didn’t include the séance. She looked down, mostly to avoid seeing Brad’s shocked face. Any minute now, he was going to object to Abraham or somehow voice his surprise at the steep price.

Instead, she just heard him mutter an ‘alright’, and ‘let me get my wallet’. He paid Abraham and thanked him for his help, making sure to ask him what some of the preventative steps were that they could take to secure their apartment from future hauntings.
