Ch 4

That night Kerrie got her supplies together and then went to Vicki's office. On the way up the stairs Kayte called her.

'Hey Kayte, what's up?'

'Not much. Just calling to check in.'

'How was the movie?'

'We're going in soon.'

'Be careful and have fun.'

'I will. I'll call you when we're on the way back to the hotel.'

'Ok, bye.' Kerrie walked into Vicki's office to see Coreen, Henry, and Vicki waiting for her.

'Sorry I'm late. The Ninth Gate was on TV and I had to watch the end.'

'You should have called me. I love that movie.' Coreen said helping Kerrie set everything up. 'Where's Kayte?'

'Her and the girls met some guys today and their going to a movie with them.'

'Lucky them. They seem to meet guys wherever they go.'

'Kerrie, how did you know about me?'

'Someone I knew was changed and I was the first person he went to for help. At first the idea of being a vampire seemed great but then he realized everything he'd miss out on especially with his son. He thought that I'd know how to change him back.'

'Who changed him?'

'Caleb O'Hara.'

'Ah... Caleb, figures.' Kerrie explained the board quickly and when they were about to start Vicki's phone rang.

'Hello?'

'Vicki, it's me.'

'Mike, right now isn't a great time.'

'I just wanted to see if you found anything new with the case.'

'Not yet. I'll let yea know if I do.' With that Vicki hung up as Henry smirked. The group started using the board. When they found out where the cult was based they went to go check it out. Right away Kerrie felt something was wrong. Vicki and Henry got out of the car and walked into the cemetery.

'Coreen, call Mike. They're gonna need some help.' Kerrie said getting out of the car.

'Where the hell are you going?'

'To try to help them.' Coreen quickly called Mike and he was leaving the station to meet them there. Coreen waited at the car for Mike as Kerrie walked into the cemetery.

She broke out in a run as she saw Vicki on the ground and Henry surrounded by the 6 college age guys. Kerrie tried to use her powers to bind the cult members from hurting anyone. As she began chanting she heard a gun shot and when her concentration was broken someone sprinted past her with a knife. Kerrie opened to eyes to see the guy standing over Mike holding the bloody knife.

'Mike, no!' Vicki said crawling over to him. Henry managed to corner a few of the guys as Kerrie knelt next to Mike. He had been stabbed in the side.

'Coreen, get over here. I'm gonna need your help.' Vicki was on the phone calling for an ambulance as Coreen knelt on the other side of Mike. 'I'm gonna try to heal him but if anything happens I want you to step in.'

'Spaz, I don't know how to.' Kerrie closed her eyes and focused her energy on the wound. She put her hands above his side as the wound slowly stopped bleeding. Kerrie heard the sound of sirens and was pulled out of her trance by Coreen.

'Kerrie, you did it.' Coreen said as two men came running over with their medical equipment. They took Mike into the ambulance as the police started asking Vicki questions. Kerrie went to stand up but fainted. Henry caught her before she hit the ground.

'Coreen, what did she do?'

'I think she opened her chakras to heal him.'

'She'll be ok.' Henry said as Kerrie's eyes half opened.

'Don't let them take me to the hospital.' She mumbled.

'Spaz, are you ok?' Coreen asked as Kerrie sat on the ground.

'I'll be fine. I just need to sleep it off.' Two police officers came over to ask Kerrie a few questions before they could all leave. Vicki insisted they go to the hospital so they could check on Mike.

'Kerrie, want us to drop you off at the hotel?' Henry asked.

'No, I'm fine.'

'Spaz, you should really rest.'

'I need to work on my abilities. That was only my second time healing someone.'

'Who did you heal before?'

'I tried healing my great uncle but he knew what I was doing and stopped me. He's ready to go and didn't want me prolonging his life, I mean he is 85 years old and has lead a very full life.' Kerrie said looking at her hands.

'That's the adorable older guy I met?'

'Yea, Frank.' Kerrie said blinking back tears as they pulled up to the hospital.
