Chapter 8

The saltshaker was the first thing to fly across the room, startling my dinner guests.

“If everyone can step out, I need the room,” I said, slowly rising from my chair while pegging the ghost with my glare.

Francine’s plate rose into the air, and her spaghetti was dumped on her head. The red pasta sauce slid down her blue strands. She gasped when the first meatball hit her new dress.

“He’s here, isn’t he?” Theo asked, hurrying to help Francine.

“Yep,” I answered seconds before the doors to the dining room slammed closed.

I tsked, wagging my finger back and forth like I was punishing a child. I whispered a spell to throw the doors open again and hold them in place.

Wind swirled through the room, blowing napkins around and the hair into my eyes. This was not good. Not good at all. The lights in the chandelier exploded as Franklin and Theo helped the old women toward the door, using their bodies to protect them from flying objects.

“You don’t want to go up against me,” I growled, conjuring an energy ball in my hands the way my mother had taught me at the tender age of five. “If you want me to solve your murder, fine, but how dare you attack my guests in my own goddamn house,” I yelled into the wind, and then I threw my first energy ball at the apparition.

Margo stood next to me, reciting some type of spell. Her words were a whisper in the chaos of the room when suddenly, just as if the magical house was trying to help, everything around us stopped. Plates and debris remained frozen in midair. A steak knife hovered an inch from Theo’s arm.

Everything and everyone was at a standstill, and Margo was now looking in Rockford’s direction.

“Did you do this?” I asked, knocking the steak knife to the ground.

“I made him visible so I could see to help you fight, but no, I didn’t do this.”

“I did,” Carson said from the doorway.

“How?” I asked.

“One of those conversations best saved for later.” He answered just as Auntie B hurried from the room while everyone else was frozen in place. She returned with a smoldering sage stick for each of us, and we started working our way around the room.

“You may have been powerful in life, Rockford, but you’re in my house now, and this little hissy fit will get you banned.” I walked straight to him and waved my sage, pushing his spirit toward the dining room doors and out the front door until I had him on the porch. “One of you guys, start spreading the salt to keep this guy out.”

Rockford vanished as Carson stepped out the front door behind me. “You really can see them, can’t you?”

“Yeah, I can, and you did, too, thanks to my sister,” I said. Folding my arms over my chest, I turned to face Carson. “And what was that with you and freezing things in mid-air?”

His lips twitched. “I was a rambunctious child.
