Chapter 26

"Nope." Reid hated how Browen assumes what his feelings are or aren't. "I forgot. I'm the asshole. Right?" He stood up and leaned against the wall to show his defensiveness. "So, I can't have feelings and I'm going for a fuck right?" "I didn't say that now." "I thought you sort of felt the same way. Again, you need me to confirm it. How about this... I can't stop thinking of you. Do you know I call you My Browen? Your breath soothes my skin.. I..." Something struck Browen in the head. "Wait what? Breath?" Why does that sound important? Oh my God! "Oh my God! Reid, you smart ass you!" Reid was baffled, "What?"

She grabbed the house phone. "What are you doing?" Browen waved her hand to shut him up. "Elliot? It's Bro. Can you put Caleb on?... Hey Cale, listen look up in your Book of Damn, Breath of Life...Because I think we can save them. Well, I thought about it when Reid inspired me. Yeah, we're coming." She hung up the phone. "We're going to Caleb's." "Why?" "When you said breath, it clicked something in my head. Once in a while, I look through that Damn Book. I saw some like resurrection spell." "Like bring to life?" Reid stood there as if he knew he was a genius. "Yeah. We have to do it soon though before the soul is lost from the body." Reid drove them to Caleb's.

Caleb read from the book and explained what they needed to do. "So, we need to get a personal object. Sat this spell. Put the object on them. Say another spell. Hopefully, that should do it," Caleb assured. Browen and Reid went to the girls' house. Pogue went to Tyler's dorm. Caleb and Elliot started to go to the hospital. Browen grabbed Teresa's pearls, Alexandra's watch, and clothes. Pogue grabbed clothes and Tyler's Red Sox baseball cap. They all met at the hospital parking lot. "Okay, put all the objects together. Now we all say this: As life expire, grows a fire, enough to thrive, to come alive." They all chanted together. The objects glowed then dimmed. "I paid the morgue security to let us pass."

They walked by the security officer. "I don't know what your kids into these days..." They zoomed by. Elliot said, "The guard gave us the numbers of what space they're in. 39B, 13R, and 45k." They pulled the drawers out. They unzip the bags. Elliot put Teresa's necklace on her wrist. Browen put Alexandra's watch on her wrist. Pogue put the hat on Tyler. Caleb directed, "All right. Now everyone say these words: When the sun sets, it comes to a rise, restore the breath of their lives." They chanted one more time. They hoped they were not too late. The objects glowed again then faded.
