"Baa, what's with the book?" Roxy questioned. Baa came over and held the book carefully on her open palm. In worn letters it read Paranormal Phenomenon's Power. "Where did you get a witchcraft book?" Baa gave a sheepish grin.
"I found it a while ago, and showed it to Cathy. That's why we contacted Alice the spell we were looking at needs all of us."
"Spell? What spell?" Baa flipped the book open and scanned the pages.
"It's called the breaking of curse, and in order for it to work we need Telekinesis, Clairvoyance, and Precognition otherwise known as a Psychic."
"Whoa, wait how does this spell work exactly?" Roxy almost sound frightened.
"It's not too hard, look…." They all peered over Baa's shoulder to look at the spell. "What we do is we take the cursed. That's you Roxy."
"Oh joy."
"And we use Cathy to temporarily release your soul from the grave and during the time that is happening I will transfer the grave to the other side of the line. Once the stone crosses the line though it should be break, and that should permanently release you."
"What do I need to do?" Alice questioned. Baa sighed, and looked at her hopefully.
"The spell can be quite dangerous, and we need you to look after Roxy while we do it, and you need to be a Psychic because it is said that the person being released can have weird side effects. Basically knowing Roxy's 'sunny' disposition it will be best you know what she is going to do before she does. If everything goes right then she won't be able to look after herself during that time. So basically you get to babysit." Alice could feel Roxy tense beside her, and Alice reached her hand to her. Roxy held her hand, and Alice could feel the racing of her heart beneath it.
"If we hurry we can get it done so you'll be free by day break." Cathy turned to Roxy. Roxy's face was paled, and she looked truly terrified.
"Guys, I….I'm not exactly as indestructible as you. What…What if…I…don't know something goes wrong?" Alice gave her hand a reassuring squeeze.
"We won't let that happen." She assured her, but Roxy's still held doubt.
"What if I hurt someone?!"
"Like you said we are practically indestructible I think we can take you." Alice told her, and Roxy gave her uneasy smile.
"You trust us don't you?" Baa asked, and Roxy nodded.
"Yes of course. It's myself that I don't trust." Baa took Roxy's other hand and began to pull her along. "Where are you going?"
"The club house. We'll perform it there." Cathy came and pushed Roxy forward from the back.
"You know I can walk!" Roxy reluctantly followed; her heart still hammering in her chest. Back at the club house the girls prepared the ingredients while Roxy clutched nervously to the bed she would be laying on.
"Ok, now lay back." Cathy told her pushing her shoulder onto the bed. Roxy slowly lowered herself down, but she was tensed up. "Relax."
"Easy for you to say!" She yelled and sprung up once more. Cathy pushed her back down and pinned her there. "Get off me!"
"Not until you behave. Now hold still." Roxy growled, and laid still as Cathy placed her hand over Roxy's eyes. Slowly Roxy's breathing became shallow, and her heart relaxed. When Cathy removed her hand it looked as if Roxy was struggling to stay awake. "Ok, now we'll be back. Alice, be careful." Alice nodded as Cathy and Baa left. She then came over and sat down next to Roxy.
"Alice, thank you." Alice looked down at Roxy; her voice had been so low she wasn't sure she had spoken.
"I'm not…"
"Yes, you are. Just by being here you're doing a lot." She paused and looked away then back again. "Look I didn't tell them this, but I have a horrible feeling something it about to happen and I just wanted to say if it does then leave."
"I won't do that, Roxy." Alice stated firmly. Roxy gave a soft smile and reached out and touched Alice's arm.
"Please, Alice. I don't deserve this." Alice took Roxy's hand, and looked her firmly in the eyes.
"Why do you think you owe me?" Roxy shut her eyes, and Alice could have sworn she fell asleep until she slowly opened them again.
"The reason you were caught was because you saved my life. If I would have listened to you in the first place it would have never happened." Her words mingled with sorrow and regret.
"Then it was worth it, Roxy." Alice reached out a moved a strand of hair from Roxy's face.
"I died not even twenty-four hours later. It was a sacrifice made in vain. I was destined to die that day the reason I am bounded to this hell in the first place is because I brought you down with me." Alice laughed.
"Brought me down? You have no idea of the life I am living right now. I have a huge family who cares about me, and a husband who I love more than anything in the world. All because I was in the asylum." Roxy let out a sigh as a happier smile graced her lips.
"Thank God." She breathed, and Alice laughed again.
"And tomorrow I am taking you to meet him and the rest of my family, and maybe I can ask Carlisle if you guys can move in with us. Esme would love all four of you, and then Nathan and you can get married finally!" Alice squealed happily, and Roxy's smile grew larger.
"That sounds great, Alice, but I wouldn't want to…."
"Impose? Never! It will be great." Alice got to her feet, and began to pace. "Then we can find someone for Cathy, and Baa! But first we are going shopping! I mean what the hell are you wearing!" Alice yelled, and Roxy began to laugh. She was wearing torn jeans with a black tank top and combat boots. The boots were covered in mud and the tank top's bottom was frayed.
"Sounds like heaven, Alice." Alice smiled and sat back down.
"Sounds like reality t.v." Alice lounged back. No visions came saying Roxy was going on a rampage so she figured her job was easy. As quickly as the good mood settled it was gone. A heart chilling bang sounded outside the door, and Alice looked to Roxy. She tried to get up, but the spell had left her very weak. Alice walked to the door, but never made it. It flung open and sent a whirl wind threw the room knocking her to back. A man stood at the door laughing a deep murderous laugh.
"My sources were, right you have returned." He stepped threw the door as Alice struggled to stand. "Don't worry just like last time you won't remember a thing." He raised his hand to her, and a blinding pain shot threw her head.
"Alice!" She could hear Roxy yell, but her mind became a jumbled mess. With hazed eyes she watched Roxy stand messily to her feet as the man approached her. An ear shattering scream pierced the night as he reached out and grabbed Roxy's arm, and she collapsed forward into him. Alice wasn't sure if the scream had come from Roxy or her own mouth, but her mind was quickly fading until her world was black.
What did you think it was just going to end with a typical happily ever after? It's not any where close to being over so stick with me.The next chapter should be up soon. Until next time. Italianamerican
