Coda: Of Mediums and Necromancy

A/N: It's official. I am going to finish this within a month of writing it. My fastest multipart story ever. Admittedly, it's short, but OH WELL! Second fastest story ever. Yay!

Disclaimer: I own Holly. I own the creepy stalker dude from the last chapter.

On my table was a large book. It was maroon, with copper thingies on the edges. I couldn't understand the title, so I did the first thing I could think of. Ask Kate.

Who had no idea.

Which meant we had to guess.

Joyfulness.

Well, I know it's Latin. I volunteered sheepishly, while I scanned the coppery writing, tapping a clunky shoe up and down.

And that helps how? Kate, voice acidic, replied. Obviously, the scary incident at NCIS shook her up too.

Internet translator? I smirked.

Oh. I guess you do have a point. It was Kate's turn to be sheepish.

Do ya really think so? I couldn't help the sarcasm. Kate sighed.

Just use the translator, Holly. I rolled my eyes and signed on. I picked up the book, and grinned at a yellow post-it on the back.

I'll just be signing off then. I scanned the post-it, struggling to read the messy cursive.

Dear Holly,

I hope this book has reached you before one of Circe's followers, but if it hasn't, then I suppose that there is nothing I can do. This book may help you later. Be careful.

Who is that? Kate asked suspiciously.

My great aunt… in California. How did it get here? I wondered.

I don't know. Kate asked. I opened the book and began to read.

A/N: Deal with the Devil will be out soon. As to a reviewer's question, if a random woman popped up in a room wouldn't you be surprised? But their may be more.
