Ch.12
I'm sorry it took me so long to update. My sister had to have emergency surgery as a matter of fact I'm sitting in her hospital room right now. Please read and review and forgive any stupid mistakes I spent the night here so I didn't get much sleep.
"No I'm sorry Frankie she's old and sick and I won't let you and these kids drag her into something she can't handle," Kathrine said.
Just then the door at the end of the hall flew open and slammed against the wall.
"I think she wants to see us," Frankie said.
"Mom I hope you know what your doing," Katherine said, sighing and moving out of the way.
"Come on guys," Frankie's said, with a smile.
Caleb and Reid followed Frankie down the hallway and thru the door. An old women with thinning curly gray hair sat in a hard back chair in the middle of the room.
"Aunt Millie," Frankie said, crossing the room. "How are you?" Frankie asked, kissing her cheek.
"I'm fine dear," Aunt Millie said, patting Frankie's hand. "How are you?"
" Aunt Millie we need your help," Frank said
"I know. But first introduce me to your friends and have a seat," Aunt Millie instructed.
Frank started to protest that they didn't have time for pleasantries but the look on Aunt Millie's face stopped him.
"This is Reid and Caleb," Frank said, pointing to each in turn.
Reid and Caleb nodded and then sat down on the couch. Frank sighed and sat down beside them when Aunt Millie looked at him.
"Such handsome young men and so very special. You remind me of my sweet George when he was a young man," Aunt Millie said, pointing to Reid. "Now tell me what kind of trouble you boys have gotten into. " Aunt Millie stopped talking and cocked her head like she was listening to something. " No that was wrong trouble found you. I've felt this evil before it's Isaiah Hanks. Isn't it?" Aunt Millie asked.
"Yeah it is and we need to know how to destroy him," Frankie said.
"How do you know all of this?" Caleb asked.
"It's part of my gift . Now your probably wondering how I know what Isaiah Hanks evil feels like? How old do I look to you boys?"
Caleb and Reid looked at each other unsure how to answer the question or if they should answer it.
"I want be mad just give it your best guess," Aunt Millie said.
"Late eighties," Caleb guessed.
"Reid?" Aunt Millie said, with a smile.
"Late nineties," Reid said.
"Your both wrong but Reid's guess was the closest," Aunt Millie said. "Next August I'll be 105 years old. And as to how I know what Isaiah Hanks evil feels like I was once a part of a team who's job it was to hunt down destroy him."
"What happened?" Reid asked.
"He inhibited the body of one of the team members and one night while they were all sleeping Katie cut their throats the only thing that saved me was a small bladder. When I realized what had happened I ran I just left everything and I ran. I know you probably think I'm a coward but my friends were already dead and I didn't stand a change against him by myself."
"He never came looking for you?" Reid asked.
"No I guess he decided I wasn't worth it. But what he didn't know was that I had this," Aunt Millie said, pulling out a gold amulate with a green stone from inside her shirt.
"What's that?" Reid asked.
"It's the only thing that can imprison Isaiah Hanks," Aunt Millie answered.
"Does it work?" Caleb asked.
"For your sakes you better hope so young man," Aunt Millie answered, seriously.
"This is second time he's gone after Tyler's family. What would make them any different than you?" Reid asked.
"I'm not sure but there must be something that attracts him to that unfortunate family. Okay enough pleasantries and questions it's time to get down to business. I need you both to give me something that is very important to you something with sentimental value so I can but a protection spell on them," Aunt Millie said.
Caleb reached into his pocket and pulled out a pocket knife.
"It was my dads when he was a young boy. It's the only thing of his that I have," Caleb explained handing over the knife.
"Good good his should work beautifully," Millie said.
Aunt Millie clutched the knife in her hand and closed her eyes suddenly a yellow light began to seep form in between Aunt Millie's fingers and the air was charged with a power like Caleb and Reid had never felt before. After a minute or two Aunt Millie opened her fist and the knife lay in her hand the words that had suddenly appeared on the knife where still glowing yellow.
"Keep it with you at all times and it will protect you from people who want to harm you," Aunt Millie said, handing the knife back to Caleb.
"Reid?" Aunt Millie asked, expectantly.
Reid had thought and thought and couldn't come up anything that his parents had given him that had any special meaning to him.
"I don't have anything," Reid said, looking a little embarssed.
Aunt Millie let out a sigh and a drawer in the dresser slid open and out floated a ring.
"Mom no," Katherine said. She and Lisa had been standing quietly against the back wall.
"This ring," Katherine said, holding out a tigers eye ring. "Belonged to my dear sweat husband it was given to him by our only son Isaac. Isaac saved for a year to buy that ring for his daddy for Fathers day. Isaac was killed by a drunk driver three weeks later after that my husband never took the ring off. This ring has a lot of emotion tied to it even though it's not your emotion I hope that it will still work," Aunt Millie said. Aunt Millie closed her eyes and repeated the same process she did with Caleb's' knife.
"Reid take good care of this ring and it will take care of you. Give me your hand," Aunt Millie said.
Reid held out his hand and Aunt Millie slipped the still glowing ring on Reid's finger.
"Angel girl run up to your room and get me one of those friendship bracelets thingy's your always working," Aunt Millie said.
Lisa looked strangely at her great grand mother but went to do as she was told.
"I need something to put a shielding spell on so that Josiah can't reenter that poor boys body," Aunt Millie stopped and cocked her head like she was listening to something.
"Katharine go ask Lisa to bring me a hand full of bracelets. I have the feeling your going to help when you get back to the hospital," Aunt Millie said.
I really do hope this made some kind of sense. Obviously I didn't finish the story like I had planned even I'm not sure how it's going to end. I hope you enjoyed it. Talk to you next time
