Ch. 10
Everyone but Reid watched in sock as Tallie and Austin stepped out of the mirror.
"It's about time you figured it out. Your just about out of time ," Austin said.
"Be nice Austin. But he is right we are just about out of time," Tallie said.
"Does anyone else need new pants?" Frank asked.
"I told you there where ghost?" Reid said sound very smug.
"Show them like you did me how your brother Brian slaughtered your family," Reid said.
" Brian did kill us "
"But he wasn't in control," Austin interrupted, Sounding defensive.
"No he wasn't in control," Tallies said soothingly.
"Then who was? Is it the same person or thing that attacked Tyler and Pogue?" Caleb asked.
"Yes," Tallie and Austin asked, together.
"His name was Isaiah Hanks he lived in Salem during the witch trails his wife was tried and convicted as a witch they burned her at the stake. But what no one knew is that they where both witches. Some how he found a way to take her power before she died, after that he made it his lifes work to find people who had the power kill them and steal their powers. He also found a way to leave his body so he could go searching for people who had the power he as some kind of amulet the glows when he's around people who have the power," Tallie explained.
"Does it look like this," Frank said, reaching into his shirt and pulling out a stone amulet he was wearing around his neck.
The stone was glowing a bright yellow.
"I'm surprised you couldn't see it through my shirt. There's so much power in this room that the stones warm," Frank said.
"Where did you get that from ?" Sam asked
"The pendant my dad the one who raised me not the sperm donor gave it to me. My wife's great aunt put the warning spell on it. I had hope I would have to tell you this but my wife's a witch too she's descended from the witches who escaped the trials. All four of my children have some sort of power things around our house are never boring. We need to get everyone one of these,' Frank said pulling a thin leather bracelet with symbols on it from under his shirt sleeve.
"What's that?" Reid asked.
"It's a protection spell. Everyone in my family has something with the spell on it," Frank said.
"I want to check the book of Damnation to see if we can find a way to stop this guy," Caleb said.
"You can check it if it will make you feel better but I doubt you will find anything. One of the many things I learned from Aunt Millie is that every covenants book only covers powers, people and things that have to do with that particular covenant. Isaiah Hanks was part of the Salem covenant so I doubt you will find any thing about him or how to stop him in your book but I guess it couldn't hurt," Frank said.
"Wait a minute I have a couple of questions for the aa gg um Tallie and Austin," Hank said.
"Only a couple ?" Sam said, sarcastically.
Hank glared at Sam.
" You are my wife's' brother and sister?' Hank asked.
"Right ," Tallie and Austin said, together.
"Where was Helen while her family was being killed?"
"She was out with her friends it was Friday night the only night she was allowed to go out," Tallie answered.
"I have a question," Sam said. "I Brian killed all of you. Who killed Brian?"
"Isaiah," Austin answered.
"How'd he do that?" Reid asked.
"When he inhabits someone's' body he steals their strength their energy he's probably in Tyler for awhile that's probably why he got so sick," Tallie said.
"Why Tyler? Why my son?" Sam asked.
"Because he's related to us and he's an Ipswich he's powerful and he's part of an old vendetta," Tallie answered.
"How'd he die?" Caleb asked.
"How did who die?" Reid asked.
"Isaiah Hanks you never said how he died."
"He didn't exactly," Austin answered. "Do you remember Tallie telling you that Isaiah found away to leave his body?" Ausht asked.
Everyone nodded in agreement.
"A boy named Michael Chase who was also part of the Salem covenant found out what he was doing. One day without telling anyone else Michael waited on Isaiah to leave his body then he went in to the house and smothered Isaiah with a pillow Isaiah instantly sensed the death of his body and came back. Michaels' plan had been to entrap Isaiah in a pendant with a binding spell but Isaiah was far to strong for one person to handle Isaiah took his powers and killed him easily and then he did the same the rest of his family."
"So he's not really dead he's just been wandering around all these years without a body. That's enough to put anyone in a crappy mood," Reid said.
"I want to go see my son," Hank said.
"Me too," Sam added.
"Alright how about this for a plan Sam and Hank you go see your sons. Caleb you go check the Book of Damnation just in case who knows there might be something useful. Reid your with me we'll go see aunt Millie and pick her brain for awhile and then well meet in the cafeteria at four o'clock," Frank said.
"Some ancient crazy witch is after us and no offense Frank but we hardly know you. I don't think it's a good idea for me and Reid to be separated I mean how do we know your not in on all of this," Caleb said.
"I understand I'm not the witch's accomplices. Why don't I go with you boys I just found Reid I'd hate to loose him."
Frank noticed how Caleb looked at him suspiciously.
"Look kid all three of us are ascended. Right? So if I did try something the two of you could take me easy," Frank said, sensible.
Finally still looking suspicious Caleb nodded his head in agreement.
Sorry about the delay someone who shall remain nameless is getting greedy with the computer. I still haven't gotten any feedback on the black cat idea. Or is it just that nobody cares one way or the other which is fine but if you have an opinion let me hear it. In till next time.
