Chapter 57
Aisling goes down stairs to see Astila fixing breakfast.
"Who was on the phone?" He hands her a cup of coffee and a bowl of oatmeal. Looking at her wondering what she is thinking about.
"Debra called and asked if I would go with her to help trick or treating. I told her I would need to get back to her. It's three days from now and for some reason I do not want to have anyone here or go anywhere. Maybe we should pull the gates at the end of the drive so that no one can enter the property unless they have a key. I'm really worried that Jay will come back. " she looks around the kitchen it seems different today.
"Did you burn sweet gra.s.s this morning?" Getting up to clear the dishes. Astila comes up behind her and puts his arms around her waist.
"No we had a visitor this morning. Her name was Moll. She was the first owner of this property. Apparently she banished a great evil. Everyone seems connected but not connected. They both were very adamant about Chris's a.s.sistant Jay not be allowed here. So I will make a few calls and make sure he is not going to get the chance. I also think it will be good to make sure the gates stay locked. Moll also told me to go on a spirit walk starting today at noon. So I will give John a call to keep close watch on you and the house. Maybe he can even stay here. She also said you will find a new room and enter it for three undisturbed days. It will be in three days Halloween. I think that is everything we need to prepare for the next few days. I will call John and you have some reading to do." With that he kisses her deeply leaving her breathless before heading outside to make arrangements for the up coming days.

Astila knows Aisling is getting anxious with the new developments. He goes over to her.
" John will be here after his meetings today. He will stay with you till I'm done. Hopefully it will be a short walk. Did you find anything out?" He sits by her knowing that he cannot touch her right now. She smiles at him and stands up.
" I found out that Moll is Maureen's grandmother and she disappeared before being executed for being a witch. I also found out that Maureen husband was burn for being a witch and they were involved in the occult. Also one of my ancestors was still born and his twin cried till he was placed beside her. He lived until close to adulthood. The parents separated them when they became to old to be in the same room. He died the first night they were separated. His body was shriveled up like he had been dead for years. While he was alive it said he was cruel and secretive. It also said that the sister was like a shadow of a person until he died. That she became healthy. And that was just in the first few pages where the family tree was. " Astila looks at her his heart aching at seeing her upset over what she is finding out. He hopes that his spirit walk will give him some answers.
