Chapter 7
Instead of taking me to the local motel as I’d expected, Evan drove several hours away and checked us into a four star hotel. He insisted that he wanted to keep me safe in a place that Max would never think to look. He immediately called Megan to tell her our location, but, to our surprise, she asked that we keep it to ourselves for fear that the spirits would hear as well. In fact, she refused to stay on longer than necessary for fear that they could trace our whereabouts from the energy connection of the telephone call.
I sighed with frustration over the feeling of helplessness that consumed me where Max and that incubus were concerned.
Megan had packed an easy week’s worth of clothing for me. As I began to empty my suitcase, I noticed a few very nice dresses in the mix.
“Good,” Evan said as he took the dresses to hang in the closet. “You have something to wear to dinner tonight.”
“I don&

It took ten days for Megan to contact us and tell us that, with the assistance of a priest, she’d managed to rid the house of the incubus. She expressed her exhaustion over performing such a task while battling the forces that were constantly being sent her way from the evil spirit witch. She was eager to have me return so that she could work with me in hopes that I could help her talk reason to the wicked witch and get her to leave on her own accord since all of the banishing methods that Megan knew had failed. Why she felt that I would be able to do something that she wasn’t able to do surprised me. Then, perhaps I placed too high of expectations on my friend who was, after all, only human. As she might be doing on me. Even so, I was willing to give it a try.When I asked about Max, there was a long silence before she spoke. He was behaving more like his old self, but he was hurt and angry that I’d gone off w

We’d spent a good deal of time talking and working through emotions that had built up since the fire. When we were finally at peace with what had happened and what was between us, we promised each other that we’d work hard to make our marriage work. No matter what happened in the past, there was a strong love between us that we were sure could be salvaged and reignited. We sealed our agreement with blissful, passionate love making. It was as it used to be… as if we’d never returned from our honeymoon.Waking up from a deep sleep, I felt a need to cuddle, so I rolled over and searched the darkness for my husband. I was surprised to discover that I had the entire bed to myself. I opened my eyes and struggled for them to focus on the digital clock. The red numbers were so bright in the darkness that they hurt my eyes as I waited for the blurriness to clear up. It was four o’clock in the morning.

If I hadn’t been in a position to have to make the funeral arrangements for Max, I think that I would have begged to stay at Megan’s home and never leave it. I found the energy light, airy, and cozy all at the same time. It lacked the heaviness that is caused by death and invading entities; be they earth bound or inter-dimensional. By the second day of being there, I felt whole and healed.It was like living in a fairy tale land. Sadly, when I left her house to brave the real world again, all of my grief, guilt, and anguish came flooding back at me.Megan accompanied me on my trip to deal with the funeral director. As anticipated, pasty faced, creepy Zacharias was his usual arrogant and obnoxious self. I was able to get away with being rude and aloof because of my grief.Max never attended church, so I didn’t bother to be hypocritical and have the service in one. Instead, we held it at the gravesi

Megan’s light, airy, and cozy cabin suddenly felt cramped and stuffy as I sat staring at the flames in the fire that Evan lit . It wasn’t that the air had a chill. It was more to warm the mood that had overtaken the cabin and its occupants.I was furious with Max. So angry, in fact, that I was at a loss over how to express it. Since Evan and Megan knew about his secret life and hadn’t immediately told me, I used that fact to focus on and turned my disappointment with their lack of telling me as an outlet for my rage.Not only could I not look at them or talk with them, but I desperately wanted to be free of their company. I needed to be out in the open air where I could breathe without hindrance and allow my body the relaxation that it just couldn’t find while within those four walls with them.Using the excuse that I needed some air with an attitude that warned them against offering to join me, I slipp

I didn’t know what to do. Should I wake up Evan and Megan? Were we truly safe inside? Evan had done all that he could to secure the cabin. Was there something that he missed? Were we foolish to leave my house to come here? Which was the lesser of the evils? A wicked spirit witch that was hell bent on tormenting Megan and my creepy shadow person or werewolves roaming the property?I sat in the corner on a straight backed chair and peeked out from behind the curtain into the long shadows that were caused by the brilliant moon. My heartbeats drowned out any other sound that I might have wanted to focus on which was probably for the best. It overpowered the creaking of the creature’s weight on the porch as well as the buzzing of the soft communications between the other two who stood in the lawn.I was about to go back to the fireplace to stoke the fire when my aunt Lily’s ghost appeared in front

I stumbled out of the lawyer’s office in total shock after the reading of Max’s will. Either he hadn’t thought things through or he expected that he’d have time to change his will in the future after we’d started a family or – more likely - he thought that I’d die before he did. Whatever the reasoning behind his creation of such a will, I’d probably never know since Melissa insisted that he was off into the wild blue yonder with her and there was no ability to connect from where they were.Max had secretly purchased the house that I was renting almost immediately after the realtor asked me if I was interested in buying it and I’d said that I was, but I needed more time to pay down school loans. He then willed the house to me upon his death and had the rent money that I paid to the leasing agent put into an account for me; minus her commission. In short, I was paying myself to be ab

I pulled Evan behind me to the stairs as I whispered my intentions once we got to my room, which didn’t include sleeping. He threw his head back with laughter and swept me into his arms, taking the stairs two at a time at vampire speed.When he set me down, I said, “What if you fed off me tonight?”His eyes went wide. “I don’t ever want to feed on you.”“Is it dangerous?”“Not really. It’s just that… this may sound silly…”I sighed, impatiently. “Tell me.”“Vampires don’t think highly of blood donors. They get little respect. I didn’t want you to lose their respect,” he stammered.“How would they know?” I asked. “Does it show that you fed off of me or something?”“It does not,” he said.“Then, whose respect would I be

Off in the distance, I could hear Megan’s incessant tapping on my bedroom door. It competed with Evan’s heartbeat as I lay cradled against him with my head resting on his chest. I struggled to be coherent enough to separate the two sounds in the darkened room. When I was awake enough to understand what was happening. I found it easier to roll over Evan’s body to the edge of the bed, rather than to try to lift the dead weight of his protective arm off me. When I did, I was surprised by the fact that he didn’t awaken. He was clearly at ease for the first time in a long time.I grabbed my robe to cover my nakedness and answered the door.Megan stood with the look of a woman who’d just woken up from a long winter’s nap.“It’s after midnight,” Megan said with a sleepy voice. “I fell into a ridiculously deep sleep.”“I
