Ch 14

The spell was becoming strong as Kerrie stood to face Marie Clare who know knew something was going on. Kerrie used her power to throw the spell at the woman as her family made sure she couldn't throw it off.

"Marie, come home to me. You need to pay for your doings." Marie May looked to Kerrie who began the spell again this time in English as Marie Clare's body was completely ablaze.

"This is for the baby." Kerrie said as she yelled the last part of the spell as Marie Clare finally died. Kerrie continued the spell letting her body completely burn. As the last of the voodoo priestess body burned Kerrie fell to her knees in exhaustion.

"Sam needs you." Kerrie looked up to see her grandfather standing over Sam. Since he was a few feet away Kerrie crawled over to him.

Kerrie could tell Sam was hurt badly and without some medical attention there would be permanent damage. Kerrie used a spell to bring her purse to her and pulled out her phone. She called Dr. Ludwig and then 911. Kerrie began a spell to repair some of the damage, the first thing she did was heal his spine which had the most damage. Kerrie's powers were fluctuating too greatly to continue healing him properly. She sat back taking deep breaths and trying to focus her energy.

"Kerrie, you should heal yourself." Her great grandmother said as Kerrie shook her head.

"I'll be fine." She muttered. Kerrie tapped into some more energy to finish healing Sam. On the last part of the spell her body started to seize. Sam started to wake up to see Kerrie's body shaking. He heard an ambulance in the distance and looked to the ghosts who were hovering over her.

"What can I do?" Sam asked as Kerrie's great grandmother moved forward.

"She can stop this. Remind her." Sam grasped Kerrie's hand.

"Kerrie, you need to wake up. Do it for Declan, do it for me." Kerrie's body shook for another few moments before it stopped.

The ambulance arrived and they took her to the hospital. It was beginning to get dark so Sam knew he should get in contact with Eric and Ronan. Ronan, Caleb, Dec, and Jimmy were coming back on Ronan's plane. They were also bringing with them a doctor to assist Dr. Ludwig. Kerrie was in surgery and the doctors were concerned because she had lost so much blood. Sam was checked out, he was fine besides his wrist which was beginning to heal on it's own. The nurse gave him a split to keep his wrist stable. Ronan, Caleb, Jimmy, and Declan arrived while Kerrie was in surgery. Sookie, Eric, and Pam had arrived shortly after nightfall. Pam had gone to the cemetery to make sure the body was gone. Alcide and several members of the Long Tooth pack arrived to check on Kerrie.

"We should call her parents." Ronan said looking at Sam who had been silent the whole time. Declan was sitting crossed legged in a chair praying in Gaelic with Caleb. Since Sam didn't respond so Ronan took the lead. "This will be fun." He muttered walking outside. He returned a few minutes later. "Kerrie's parents are on their way. I'm sending my second jet to pick them up. I didn't answer any of their questions I just told them it was related to her job. Ellen wasn't too happy so no doubt she'll be raring to go."

"I'll talk to her. She's not to fond of me but I'll give Sam a break. I can meet them at the airport."

"Good call." Ronan said looking at Sam who was staring at the direction of the operating room.

It was another three hours before a doctor came out. He looked exhausted and the female doctor Ronan had brought was at his side. Pam looked at the doctors and put out her hand to Declan.

"Come on, let's go for a walk." Dec looked to Ronan and Eric who both nodded.

"She's stable. Dr. Johnson, here wants to transfer her up to Boston or a private facility near-by. I wouldn't suggest that. As you know she had a severe miscarriage and because of that she may not be able to have any other children." Dr. Johnson looked to the man and frowned.

"The damage I think Dr. Ludwig and I can repair. We need our equipment I think once Ms. Hingston wakes up she'll agree to the transfer." The male doctor walked away as Ronan sat next to Sam.

"Sam, did you hear what she said?" Sam scowled.

"If she would have just asked for help. If she just let me help-"

"There was nothing you could have done. Marie Clare was a talented voodoo priestess. Kerrie was brave to have stood alone against her."

"I wish we would have known. I would have been there." Alcide said as Sam stood up.

"All of you let her down. Some of you know her better then I do but you damn blood suckers put yourself ahead of someone who has saved your ass more then once." Sam stormed off in the direction of the bathroom as the group fell silent.

"I'll talk to him." Sookie said following Sam.

"He's right you know." Eric said with a frown. "I'm going to meet her parents." Ronan looked to Caleb who was in shock.

"Dr. Johnson, you need to do everything you can for her." The doctor nodded. "She's going to be moved into a room shortly. I'll have a nurse take you there." Dr. Johnson headed back to heck on Kerrie.

When Kerrie was moved Sookie finally got Sam to go see her. Eric returned with Kerrie's parents an hour later. Declan was allowed to see Kerrie quickly before Jimmy offered to take him home but Sookie was chosen to take Declan home. Kerrie's parents walked in to see Kerrie beginning to wake up.

"Sam, what the hell happened?" Ellen asked as Kerrie pulled the oxygen tube out of her nose.

"I'll get the doctor." John said as Kerrie took a deep breath.

"This had nothing to do with Sam." Kerrie said staring at the wall of the room. Dr. Johnson came in to check on Kerrie and had everyone leave the room.

"Eric said that some woman attacked you two. Why?" Sam looked to Ellen.

"The woman wanted to hurt Kerrie because of what she was."

"But she was a witch too." Sam looked to Ronan and Eric before he answered.

"Yes, the full reason she went after Kerrie was because of the baby. I'm a shifter and she thought Kerrie having my child was wrong." Ellen looked shocked as Ronan stepped forward.

"Along with being a witch Kerrie has a special trait that runs in your family. If she has a child with a two-natured person then the child will have their father's traits."

"So the baby Kerrie lost would have turned into an animal?" Sam nodded.

"We're sorry this happened. I know you must be just as upset as we are." John said as Sam nodded.

"We'll talk about this later." Ellen said as the doctor came out of the room.
