DISCLAIMER: I don't own So Weird or any of the So Weird characters.

"Possess us?!" demanded Ryan. "Shoot, I'd rather die."

Bricriu nodded. "So would a lot of people. See you really ticked them off. They don't want to just possess you. No, that'd be too easy, and in their messed up opinions, too kind."

"Kind?" asked Fi in amazement. "How in the world is possessing us kind?"

"Well, they think that possessing you right off is too kind. They don't want to just take you right away. They want to torture you, scare you. Play with your minds. They want to take you without any resistance. They want you to be so depressed and scared that you won't resist them. Because even though when a Spunkie possesses someone, the host, which is what we call the possessed person, isn't aware of anything while the Spunkie's in them, if they resisted when they were being possessed, they may be able to regain a bit of control when the Spunkie drops its guard and may even be able to banish the Spunkie. But only if the host resisted. That's why they don't want you to resist them."

"So how do we fight them?" Fi asked nervously.

"Same way we fought all those other demons?" guessed Becka.

Bricriu nodded. "Correct. With prayer and faith in God." Abruptly the will-o-the-wisp grinned. "A little confidence doesn't hurt either…."

They all laughed. Jack turned toward the house. "I have no idea what you're talking about and I'm not so sure that I want to know. Come on inside."

They wandered into the house and headed into the kitchen. Fi got them all a snack. "So tell us what their plans are." Fi said to Bricriu.

"Okay. They are planning to sort of taunt you, make fun of you, and make you feel worthless so that they can take you without any resistance. Then they plan to possess you. Or at least that's what they'd originally planned. Then when Yikkan told them how well you guys fought, and how he didn't have a chance, they decided to just possess you right away. I think that's what they're going to do, but I'm not certain. I do know the names of them all so here goes. Jerkanashon is the leader, and the one who came up with this whole plan for revenge. He's Yikkan's best friend. Then there's Akkin, Yikkan's brother; Asheeshee, Yikkan's sister; Orklee, Yikkan's third cousin; and Oomee, Yikkan's first cousin. There's also Oshmel, and Hooee, Yikkan's other two brothers; and Zip, Hanknought, and Zonk, Yikkan's other three sisters. They'll stop at nothing to get you, and if they can't possess you, or if they do possess you and you resist them, they will kill you. Don't underestimate them." Bricriu said.

"When will they attack?" asked Ryan. "I mean, I know it'll be sometime tonight, but do you know the exact time?"

"No. I have to go back. If they find out I'm a traitor, they'll kill me."

"You're risking your life for us?" asked Fi in surprise.

Bricriu smiled. "I'm not as bad as you thought I was, am I Little Duck?" He stood up and left.

Fi stared after him in shock. "Wow." she said, slowly shaking her head. "I never would have believed it…."

A FEW MINUTES LATER, IN THE SPIRIT WORLD….

"There you are Bricriu. What took you so long?" demanded Jerkanashon.

"Sorry. I …got held up."

"Well, next time, be on time you stupid Spunkie! Or else we're gonna do this without you. Got it? And we all know how much you want Fi dead." Jerkanashon laughed loudly, and so did Bricriu, although his laugh was slightly more forced. "Now, we're gonna do this at seven o'clock tonight. We'll possess them as soon as we see them. I get that fool Rebecca." said Jerkanashon. "Bricriu, you get Fi. Oomee, you get Ryan, and Akkin, you get Scott. If they see us and resist, the rest of you, beat 'em senseless. 'Kay?"

There were muttered okay's from the other Spunkies. "You're all dismissed. Oomee and Hooee, you stay here. The rest of you, GET OUT OF HERE!!!" Everyone except Hooee and Oomee left, and once they were all gone, Jerkanashon spoke. "I believe Bricriu may be playing both sides," said Jerkanashon.

"You mean he's a traitor?" demanded Oomee.

"Yes. Tell everyone but him that we attack at 6:30." The meeting broke up.

At six thirty…

"What time is it at again?" asked Ryan.

"It's at seven o'clock for the billionth time. Trust me will you." said Bricriu calmly.

"Why should they trust you when we can't?" asked a voice. Everyone turned around, and Akkin moved closer. "It's actually at six thirty, Bricriu. Jerkanashon figured out that you were a traitor, and changed the time. At first, I didn't believe it, but I guess it's true. You traitor."

Bricriu's eyes were filled with fear as the Spunkie moved toward him.
