Ch 37
The group gathered in the room spacing out around the bed. Kerrie and Tasha opened the circle and called the 4 directions, 4 elements, and spirit guides. The room got cooler as Coreen began thrashing on the bed.
'Put it in.' She growled.
'And you will start it.' Kerrie waited and there was no response. 'If you don't start it we will banish you right now and save Coreen on our own.' Kerrie said.
'Put it in.' Coreen growled.
Vicki stepped forward and put the heart in then stepped back. Kerrie looked to Henry who shook his head. Kerrie began her written exorcism as Coreen started laughing.
'I want Vicki, her body will be my vessel.' Vicki went to step forward but Henry pulled her back. The walls started to vibrate as the spell progress then they heard bagging on the door.
'More reinforcements?' Coreen spat as two men smashed their way through the door eyes dark and snarling.
Danny let out a slight yelp backing up. The priest stepped forward and started speaking in Latin as Tasha shook her head. Mike moved from his position and pulled Kerrie close to him. As the priest splashed the holy water on Coreen he put his hand to her head and fell backwards. The two vampires who had just arrived pinned the priest to the ground as Vicki rushed forward to Coreen.
'Help her.' She said looking to the witches. Tasha stepped forward.
'I'll do it.' She began chanting and rested her hands over Coreen's scar. Everyone relaxed as Coreen finally took a breath.
'Is he gone?' Coreen asked as Vicki helped free her from the handcuffs.
'No.' The priest growled as blood tricked from his eyes.
'Caleb and Bill do you have him?' Kerrie asked.
'Not a problem.' The taller blonde said. Coreen was helped out of the room by Vicki as the priest was handcuffed in her position.
'I need to rest.' Tasha said a bit unsteady on her feet. Kerrie helped her to a chair as the other witch went to get her a drink of water.
'Want me to do it?' Caleb asked pulling a book out of his pocket. Kerrie managed a nod. 'Good.'
Caleb began reading out an exorcism in what sounded like some Celtic language. Within moments Father Cascioli was thrashing on the bed and as the walls began to shake again a black smoke exited the priest and he fell silent on the bed.
'I haven't had to use that in centuries.' Caleb said putting the book back in his pocket.
'We should go.' The other vampire muttered feeling the tenseness in the room.
'Do you need a flight home? My jet's here.'
'No thanks.'
'Henry, nice to see you again.' The two men exited the apartment as the two witches began collecting their things. Henry went to go help Father Cascioli as Kerrie turned to Mike.
'Come on, we're gonna get your job back.' She said pulling on her jacket.
'Is that a good idea? Wouldn't you rather rest?'
'Your a good cop, let's find this little girl.' Mike looked to Coreen who was sitting next to Vicki and she managed a small smile. Kerrie and Mike got into his car. She closed her eyes and put her hands on her deck of cards. After silently asking a question she shuffled the deck and drew three cards. Kerrie put the cards back.
'She's in a cemetery.' Kerrie repeated the directions that the spirit guides gave. Mike arrived at the cemetery and called Kate's cellphone to get some back-up.
'Cellucci, it's Crowley. Let the case go.' She growled.
'But I found where they have her.' Mike gave her the location.
'Your still not off the hook.' Crowley hung up as Mike hit the steering wheel.
'I'll talk to her.' Kerrie said softly. 'If I explain things woman to woman she might be more forgiving. I won't even use magick.'
