Part 24

"Tracy, you know that I love you. More than I love myself. I could never be better without you. But you have to be honest with me. Something is just not adding up."

"I dont know what you want me to say."

"I want you to tell me the truth", he said.

"Im telling you the truth", she said as she looked down at the floor.

He reached over and lifted her chin, looked her in the eyes and said, "I know when your not being honest with me."

"I did it for us. So we can be together", she said.

"What did you do?"

"What to book said.

"What did the book say?", he asked.

" It said to did up the grave of the one you want to revive, and place the carcass of a goat and put it inside the grave and to drizzle goats blood all over the grave."

She said all of that without once looking at him.

'Please dont be mad at me", she said.

"I cant believe you did that. You know how I feel about this kind of stuff."

"I know but I had to do something, to keep us together."

"We are together", he said. She shook her head..her right leg boucing against the edge of the bed.

"You know what I went thru with my mom. When she got into witch craft..some cult had her so brained washed, she committed suicide, because some lunatic convinced her that the end was coming and she had to sacrifice herself to be saved."

" I know. But this is different", she said.

"Different how. Once you get mixed up in this kind of stuff it does something to you. It chances you. I watched my mother go from a happy vibrant woman to a sad useless shell of a human being. I was to young to help her but theres noway, Im going to watch you go thru the same thing. I've already lost you once. I cant go thru that again."

"But you dont understand. If I dont do something. You really are going to loose me all over again. I'm loosing energy. I feel myself being pulled toward the light, and I dont think I can fight it any longer. Im scared that if I cant become human soon..I'll be gone, for good."
