Chapter #14 Epilogue
Sally's point of view
Well, everyone this is what happened next. My parents returned home the next day and were shock to find out I went to the Parsons House and ground me for a week. Raymond was starting to be more cheerful then he was when he first arrived and here was able to enjoy his vacation with the others. The news of me defeating Constance Black had spread through out the island (no one found out that I was a Witch) and made the front page of the The Weekly Diary. Most people didn't believe the story and still think Constance is still out there. Others thought was amazing that I stopped the most feared ghost on Spirit Isle and wanted to know how I did it. What did I tell them? I just said I tricked her into turning into a spider and trapped her in an iron bottle. I didn't tell them I was a Witch. The island is not ready to know that and I'm not ready to tell them.
A week later, after my punishment was over, I went to the cemetery where Detective John Stein was buried in Kingston Town and placed a small offering on his grave.
"Detective John." I said. "I thank you for answering my call and protecting Raymond Stantz from Constance Black. Please take this bottle of homemade apple cider and bread as an thanks for your help."
I stayed for a minute as I waited for an reply. A light breeze came in and blew some of my hair in my face and blew my robe this way and that.
"I accept your offering." a male voice said.
I smiled before I turned and left the cemetery. I knew the common offering was brandy or other hard liquor but I was still underage and was not able to buy stuff like that yet. So, I use apple cider instead. As I closed the gate behind, I watched the leaves of the willow tree inside blow in the wind. My job is done and the evil is gone. The island and the people on it are safe for now. And we're going to enjoy it while it lasts.
