Chapter 21

The Fool On The Hill

Andie and Zoe made it back to Cass's apartment to find her doing, of all things, laundry. "What is with all this Mother Hen stuff you're high on?" Andie teased her, pulling at a stray strand of her hair.

"I have houseguests." Cass replied proudly. "And y'all are messy as hell."

"Where's Luka?" Zoe asked as she retrieved a cookie jar from the kitchen.

"We were waiting for records from the hospital, the sweetie offered to stay and wait himself, ain't he cute?" She blushed. "What did you two find out?"

Zoe was fists deep into the cookie jar so Andie explained to Cass everything they'd found. "So there are three witches missing; not one." She finished.

Cass chewed her lip. "Well, that sticks a fork in your genius plan."

"I know, right?" Andie laughed as she took a cookie from Zoe.

"You know what?" Zoe asked her, a little confused.

"I was talking to Cass." Andie replied.

"I didn't say anything." Cass told her, and then she waved a hand dismissively at her. "Anyway, what we did find out from the mental hospital is that it was burnt down like 200 years ago and they just built it right back up. Morbid, right?"

"What used to be there before?" Zoe asked.

"That's what the records will tell us." Cass replied.

Andie watched her intently.

"I hope Luka's okay there by himself... I should call him..."

"Oh!" Andie jumped to her feet, Cass's lips hadn't moved an inch; but she'd heard her voice as clear as day.

"What?" Cass scanned her belly to her eyes. "Are you okay?"

"I heard you." Andie said hurriedly.

Cass looked puzzled. "Of course you did, I'm standing right in front of you. Dork."

Zoe laughed. "I love it when you two act crazy."

"Honey's! We're home!" Dean's voice rang through the apartment as he came wandering into the room, Sam gave everyone a nod but his arms were full of books so he went to dump them off into the kitchen.

"Library any good?" Cass asked, ignoring the weird look Andie was giving her.

"No, they were just given a bunch of crap to make them get out of there. The librarian was a real bitch." Zoe said mindlessly as she carefully split apart an Oreo. It took her a second to realize everyone was staring at her. "What?"

"How did you know that?" Dean questioned her. "That's exactly what happened. The librarian was hot; but such a bitch. How did you know that?"

Zoe swallowed hard. "I... I dunno... I just knew... like I had been there..."

"Ok, what the hell is going on here?" Cass cried. "You're both talking gibberish!"

Andie was as confused as Cassidy. Until Dean's voice found its way into her ears. "Andie's boobs are getting bigger... that's so awesome... how much bigger will they get? Will they stay that way?"

Andie paled. "Oh, god."

"What?" Dean was giving her an odd look.

"You're talking about my boobs."

He looked surprised. "I didn't say anything."

"No, no, but you thought it; and I heard it." She whined and turned to Zoe and Cass. "I'm hearing people's thoughts!"

"What are you talking about?" Dean looked even more puzzled.

"I dunno why, but I can." She said. "Think of a number, any number." She could hear what he was thinking as clear as day. "Four thousand-two hundred and seventy-three. No, seventy-two - seventy-three, seventy-two – dammit, Dean, pick a number!"

"Hell!" Dean took a huge step away from her. "Oh, God... this isn't a baby thing, is it? What if the kid is telepathic?"

The same fear had troubled Andie but she was quick to dismiss him. "It can't be that, Zoe had that weird memory..."

"What the hell is going on with us?" Zoe wondered aloud.

"I know." Sam said plainly as he wandered in carrying an old textbook open in his hands. "You're possessed."

"What?" All three girls yelped in unison.

"By the ghosts of the remaining witches. You disturbed the burial ground." He set the book on the table. It was in fact not a textbook, but a collection of newspaper articles from centuries ago.

"But I never went to the damn graveyard!" Cass snapped irritably.

"No, but you were the first person they saw when they came back." Sam explained, gesturing to Andie and Zoe. "This says the curse travels to the first three women to come in contact with the burial plot or with someone who's been there." He jabbed his finger at a passage in the book.

Cass sent a menacing look to Andie and Zoe. "You two got me possessed again?"

"What, exactly, are we all possessed with?" Andie asked, ignoring Cass's glare.

"Like I said. Witches. Well, their ghosts." Sam informed them. "The remaining three Moire witches; we spelled it wrong. When I researched it with the right name, I found this book. The town changed the name from Moire to Moira years ago to stop people looking into it. What's different about these three is that they're not just witches-"

"Of course they're not." Zoe deadpanned.

"They're sisters. The Three Fates. And each of them has an ability, which I assume is what the three of you are feeling." He gave a wonky smile. "Lachesis sees things that were," Sam nodded to Zoe. "Clotho hears those that are," he smirked at Andie. "And Atropus sees things that will be." Cass looked like she'd clobber him.

"You found all this in one book?" Dean was flipping through the pages.

"There only is one book." Sam said.

"Why?" Andie said to the ceiling. "Why are we being possessed? What's the point? What the hell are we meant to do now? Live our lives seeing and hearing crap that we don't care about?"

"It has to have something to do with the hauntings, right?" Zoe piped up. "I mean, why else?"

"Hm..." Dean mumbled as he glanced over a page in the book. "Well, this says the Moire sisters were healers, sorta like doctors back then, but when the witch burnings began they were wrongly accused."

"So, what, 400 years later we're supposed to clear their names?" Cass scoffed. "I'm not into that."

Andie slapped Dean across the back of the head when he purposely thought of them in a disgusting sexual position. He tried to look innocent but he laughed anyway. "Well, I am." Andie said. "I do not wanna be privy to what's in this guy's head." She poked Dean in the shoulder.

"Ow!" Zoe suddenly grabbed her forehead. "Ow! Ow!" She buckled over; Sam caught her by the middle before she hit the ground.

"Is she okay?"

"I assume she's having another flashback." Cass growled.

"Oh, would you drop the attitude, Cass?" Andie snapped at her. "It's not helping."

"I'm sorry; I just can't believe I got possessed without even doing anything."

Andie smirked. "You lie! You're jealous! You wish you could hear thoughts, not see the future."

Cass fumed and stamped her foot. "Oh, I am hating on you so hard right now Morgan."

Andie tried to listen in to her again, but all she heard was a string of quite vulgar curse words that just made Andie smile triumphantly.

"Hello!" Zoe cried as Sam helped her to the couch. "Head-splitting migraine and you two are fighting?"

Andie listened in again. "Ooh, Zoe, I've never heard you swear like that." She said proudly.

"I didn't - get out of my head Andie!" She yelled. "God, that was a random vision." She shook her head back and forth to clear her mind.

"What did you see?" Dean asked.

"Fire. And lots of it. The burnings, maybe?" She rubbed her temples. "I could feel the heat of the flames, like I was standing right there." She sighed. "Why did that one hurt so much?"

"Maybe the further back you go, the more it hurts?" Sam suggested, to which she gave him a pained expression.

"So you can see the past," Andie pointed at her. "And Cass sees the future, so why am I hearing the present?"

"Because you're in the present, stupid." Cass told her as she flopped down beside Zoe. "You're already seeing it."

Andie frowned. "Fair enough."

"Ok," Dean rubbed his temples. "The sisters wanted to be possessed at the same time, right? That's why it hit all of you like it did. So there has to be something they need to do, right? Ghosts always haunt for a reason and it's always personal."

"Yeah, but ghosts don't usually possess people." Sam pointed out.

Cass's eyes suddenly flashed pure white, and she gasped. "Oh, God, I'm seeing something... it's-it's us! In the graveyard... it's raining...oh! Oh, God!" Her eyes blinked back to normal; but she had tears welling in them.

Andie could see how troubled her friend was. "Geez, Cass, what did you see?"

"Us... dead." Cass's chest was heaving. "We all die."
