reached the balcony and peered over he saw the burnt curtain lying on the floor, the television from the future against the wall, and he screamed, “Drew!”
Lezetta with her gorgeous flowing hair and glowing eyes was on Liza like a cat. “I need the ring! You have to place her back in the circle now and give me that damned necklace!” She said as Liza had removed the necklace from around Drew’s neck for safe keeping.
“Over my dead body!” Liza screamed as she dodged a very angry translucent Lezetta.
“Oh my dear one, that can be very easily arranged!”
Liza knew better though. Lezetta was a strong energy, but she didn’t possess the power that Danny had had. She knew that she could easily run away and leave Lezetta there screaming for all eternity but she wasn’t about to leave Drew there with her. Even though Drew’s body may be going to a cemetery soon she would be damned if it was going to be that one.
“Mary Ann! I need your help!” Liza called out to the poor girl sitting helplessly on the edge of her own tomb. “Mary Ann, this isn’t the time to be giving up! I could really use your help right now!”
As Liza tried to make her way back around to Drew she pleaded and begged with Mary Ann. How could the girl just sit there with her elbows on her knees like that? Liza was running out of breath and swore she was making a path in the grass from running in circles.
She finally made her way back to Drew’s body and grabbed underneath her arms. “I’m so sorry Drew that I have to torture your body like this but we got to get the hell out of Dodge, Sister!”
Lezetta was coming for her again but this time she didn’t care. She was going to hold her ground the best that she could. Lezetta was building power the madder she got and she had a feeling that the dark shadow Lezetta had now manifested into was going to hurt like a bitch as it was headed straight for her.
“Mary Ann!” Liza screamed as she closed her eyes to take the punch. Instead of a punch though, she felt a cool breeze just touch her hair, the Celtic necklace that she had been holding was swiped from her hand and she heard what sounded like an Irish chanting. She opened her eyes to see a flash of light slam into the darkness that had been coming towards her like a bat outof hell… literally she thought.
Just then a strong arm wrapped around her waist and swung her around. She saw Brendan grab a hold of Drew with his other arm and wondered how the hell he could move so fast with the extra two hundred and fifty pounds that he was dragging.
She looked back in time to see the darkness that had been darker than the night as well as the beam of light that had possibly saved her life, vanish into thin air.
“I’ll be back for you, Mary Ann.” She whispered, “Just hang in there a little longer.”
Justice had come to one of the evil-doers though it cost Drew her life. Maybe Liza’s idea of justice wasn’t exactly that after all. Mary Ann was still fighting for a resting soul and Lezetta still wasn’t burning in hell. Somehow none of this seemed like justice to her. But it would come. She promised it silently to Drew. Justice would come.
Chapter 10 The Sun
Brendan laid Drew down carefully in her bed. He thought he understood now how Prince Charming must have felt when he looked down and saw Snow White so beautiful, so peaceful. He would never hold her, he would never kiss her. He was finally able to do all of the things that a man could do. He understood that now. He was a man. He was alive, and he was going to be alone for the rest of his life.
“Who do I call, Brendan?” Liza asked through her sobs. “What do I even say?”
All Brendan could do was to stare into Drew’s face. So many years he had haunted this house his body lay just as hers did now. Was her soul lost in the cemetery? Was she drifting inside the house trying to get their attention? It took him a long time before he was able to train himself to move things, to play the piano, to be in two places at once.
