Chapter 15: Confessions of Sorceresses

"Certain Motel Français, est-ce que je peux vous aider?" A cool female voice asked.

"Er…hi, I'm looking for Tegan Alan?" Jess spoke in the receiver. He was in a phone booth in some random place he'd orbed to.

"We have an Alan listing; who may I say is calling?" The voice switched to English.

"Jess Mcairn." Jess answered.

"Hold on." The phone clicked and Jess waited until Tegan's voice came through the receiver.

"Hi Jess" She said.

"Hey I thought I'd call you since you said I could." Jess smiled.

"Oh yeah I'm glad to hear from you. Have you spoken to Carlie or anyone else?" She asked.

"No why?"

"You know Marco's party? Well they went and found two bodies!" Tegan screeched.

"What?" Jess asked sharply.

"Yeah Keisha talked to me yesterday. She said she's having nightmares from it. I wonder how the rest of them are taking it."

"I don't know but I'm sure I'll hear from someone else soon." Is what Jess replied but in his head he thought.

Oh God guys what have you done?

Carlie was alone. Miranda was at work and she didn't feel like going down to the green leaf.

Maybe I could just telepath Jess…… No. They'd agreed to no telepathy. Besides Minaru could hear them anyway. Suddenly the phone rang, making Carlie jump up and answer it.

"Hello?"

"You found a body!" Nathan's voice screeched over the phone.

"Oh so you heard."

"YES! Jess called me about an hour ago after he heard it from Tegan. Why didn't you tell us?" Nathan raged.

"I—"Carlie couldn't answer. For some reason she just didn't want to talk about it. The same with the Mallory issue.

"I mean honestly!" Nathan was raving on. "Is it so hard to just orb to us and tell us? I know we agreed no magic so no demons will attack us but you could have rung! If I found a bloody body I would have told you!"

"Nathan would you shut up." Carlie said impatiently.

"Carlie why didn't you tell us?"

"Because I'm sick of everyone asking about it!" Carlie shouted and slammed down the receiver. The phone began to ring again and Carlie picked it up.

"Bugger off Nathan!" Carlie screamed.

"Wrong Sorceresses" Jess replied coolly.

"Oh now you're gonna start" Carlie snapped at him.

"Absolutely!" Jess laughed.

"Well you can kiss my ass" Carlie hung up the phone.

Once again it began to ring and Carlie picked it up. "Well as much as I'd love to kiss your ass, I can't at the present so maybe you could kiss your own ass?" Jess remarked.

Carlie hung it up and it rung again. She was so sick of the phone.

"You know what you can do!" Carlie shouted into the receiver. "You can go screw yourself! I hope your stupid freaking pureblood parents heard THAT!"

"Miss Mason?" A voice asked, clearly shocked by what he'd just heard.

"Oh I'm sorry!" Carlie cried. "I thought you were this guy who kept calling me."

"That is alright. This is inspector Parsons."

"Er…hi" Carlie wasn't sure what to say.

"How are you? I've spoken to your other friends; they seem to be having trouble sleeping how are you coping?" He asked, actually sounding concerned.

"Yeah I'm dealing."

"That's good. I'm just ringing to see if you'd be able to testify in court about what happened." He explained.

"Wait, you caught the guy?" Carlie asked.

"We believe we have. Does the name William Hanes ring a bell?" He asked.

"Um…I don't think so." Carlie answered.

"You may also know him as Will Rock. Apparently he was with one of your friends just before the bodies were found. He's the bass player of some band according to him and the two boys who were murdered were the drummer and lead guitarist." He continued.

"Holy crap!" Carlie exclaimed.

"We need to you verify that your friend…Lewis was with you at the time when the bodies were found."

"Yes I will. When do I have to?" Carlie asked.

"In February sometime. The exact date hasn't been set."

"Oh I go to a boarding school; I'm not going to be here." Carlie explained.

"The school should understand; if you wish us to contact them we will."

Carlie sighed. Why did her life have to be so complicated? "No it's fine. I'll speak to my teachers, I'm sure they'll understand."

"Good then. I will contact you later with the exact date." He said.

"Bye then." Carlie said and hung up.

She stood there for a moment staring at the phone as if daring it to ring. After a moment of silence, Carlie turned around and marched back to the couch and sat down. She needed to tell someone, she needed to confess. She couldn't hold it in any longer. She accidentally summoned something to her hand and she looked down at what it was. A pen and paper.

"Sirius" She breathed and began writing furiously on the paper.

Carlie wasn't the only one feeling guilty Lyndsay had appeared at the foot of Nathan's bed around midnight – giving him the shock of a lifetime.

"Nathan" A voice hissed softly.

Nathan blinked groggily and saw the figure at the end of his bed. He let out a ear piercing scream and promptly fell of the bed.

A giggle came from the figure before it remarked. "Gee Nath, you sure scream like a girl."

"Lyndsay!" Nathan cried as he picked himself up off the floor.

"Sorry" She apologized as she plonked herself on his bed. "I had a nightmare about….about everything that's been going on lately and you're the best listen of the group. Since you can read people's minds and all." She smiled.

Nathan nodded and sat beside her. "So you wanna talk huh? You have the best timing you know that?" He laughed.

Lyndsay rolled her eyes. "Shut up and listen would ya?"

Nathan held his hands up in surrender. "Okay, okay. Spill."

Lyndsay took a deep breath. "Everything is so out of control and all this killing stuff is making my head spin and everyone else doesn't have to deal with the ghosts trying to get your attention."

Nathan looked at her for a moment. "Lynds, I hear the ghosts that you see. That's what it is with our powers. You see, I hear."

"Oh" Lyndsay simply said.

"Don't worry about it though. We have something to talk about on the phone now." Nathan laughed.

"You're a fantastic guy you know that Nathan?" Lyndsay leaned over to him and kissed him on the cheek. "Any girl would be lucky to have you."

Nathan blushed as Lyndsay jumped up. "Well I better head off. Maybe since I've confessed my sins" She laughed. "I'll have a better sleep."

She waved like a maniac and disappeared in a blaze of blue particles.

"Crucio!"

"No! Stop! Please I beg of you…"

Jess's eyes closed firmly shut when he began to relive this event. When he opened them he saw something completely different.

"Jess. I know this isn't right. Marcus told me not too but I can't help it." She came forward and was inches away from his face. "I want this so bad." She then leaned forward and her lips connected with his.

Jess's eyes snapped open. "Woah!" He exclaimed. What had that been? One minute he was dreaming about…about…the past. Next he was dreaming she was kissing him.

Three guesses who was kissing Jess? Hmmm.
