Magical Ties

When Jin reaches the kitchen door she sees Dude sprawled across the table with John holding him close to his face yelling at him. Steve looks at his wife's face and knows something is wrong. He puts his hand on john's shoulder to stop him.

"Aisling's missing, we can't find her upstairs. We have looked everywhere. "

Astila's heart begins to race his anger is past boiling now he grabs his brother in law and punches him in the face knocking him in the floor.

"I let the uncles take care of you only because I promised them I would not cause a bigger rift between siblings by interfering. If anything happens to my wife or our babies you are a dead man. Your sister has gone to h.e.l.l and back to protect this family and to keep it together. It's time for you to grow up and think of someone other than yourself. " Astila storms upstairs calling for Aisling. Salali calls Inola and tells him they need him at home to bring Moll with him. John calls Debra and Sam to come as well. They searched for over two hours for her. They walked every inch of the property and looked in every corner of the house. Debra pulled her brother aside when she heard what happened.

"What do you think you are doing? If you only came home to cause trouble why did you come home? " she crosses her arms across her chest glaring at him.

"I just used the same tactic we always use to get what we want. This time everything blew up. Since when does she talk back or not give in?" He looks at her wondering why she hadn't gotten the money he asked for from her yet.

"You have no idea what has been going on. Aisling has changed big time. She has been possessed by dead spirits and stalked by a serial killer. I swear I think she really is a witch." Debra doesn't know that her uncle john is in the loft above them. He came up to see if maybe Aisling his up there. Listening to them he knows they had been conspiring to get their hands on Aisling's money.

"h.e.l.l even Auntie told me that she would find a way to get uncle john and the other elders to agree to side with us. That maybe we could convince her husband that she is delusional and have her put away. That since they hadn't been married long that the elders could gain control of her property. Then here you come home and have to behave like this. You should have been nice for once. " with that Debra stomps away to go check in the twins. John can barely control his anger at this point. He takes out his phone and calls his wife.

About an hour later the family begin to arrive and john's wife smiles at her husband wondering what is going on. He shoots her a glaring look to let her know she is in trouble. Getting the other elders together and going into the sitting room they close the door and lock it so no one can enter.

"It looks like we have three rats in our mist at least I hope it's only three. Aisling has run off with hurt feelings and with her health scare the other day you know how worried we all are. I want to know how many in this room have been conspiring with Debra,Dude and my wife to take Aisling's money or property?" He looks around he has Moll place a truth spell on the room before locking the elders so that he could get a true answer. Looking around at the ten oldest of the family waiting to see there responses.

He sees His sister fidgeting looking at her directly he asks her

"Charlie did you promise or tell them you would help them hurt Aisling?" She wrings her hands and looks at the others.

" I knew that they were going to try to get her committed to the state psych hospital. They asked me what would it take to get someone committed against their will. A way that even her husband could not stop. I told them only a Doctor could do it, that she would have to pose a danger to others. I swear I only gave them the information nothing else. " by this time she is in physical pain from the spell John knows she is holding something back.

"What is it you are not telling us?" He knows if she doesn't tell him her pain will get worse.

"Dude said he would make sure that he would get evidence to put her away for life. That way they would never have to worry about her or anyone taking back what should have been there's. He was wearing a wire when he left his room this morning. She said he would bait her till she lost her temper then he would edit it so that it looked like she had gone crazy. " once she told them everything her pain and discomfort disappeared. John looked at the other elders. Seeing their anger he knew no one else in this room was involved. He unlocks the door and asks for Yona to come in.

" Charlie this is Yona you remember Aisling's brother in law. He is a lawyer he is going to give you some information about the law suit and possible jail time you are about to think about. " Yona morons for her to follow him. Then John calls for the three others to come in.

Knowing that the spell is still in effect, he let Steve take over.Since he may not be able to control his words with his wife.

"I want to know if any of you know where Aisling might be?" Steve figures he will start easy. They all three shake their heads no.

"Who is the mastermind behind trying to take Aisling's property and money?" The three of them try to act as if they know nothing, but the spell is making it very uncomfortable for them. Debra breaks silence first she can't bare the pain she is feeling. It's almost like her heart is coming out of her chest.

"It was Auntie she said that it was wrong for Aisling to have so much. That it should be rightfully all of ours especially the elders. That she paid so little compared to what she gained. " Debra is in tears by now her breathing hard. Dude looks at his sister with disgust.

"Do you not know when to shut up. I have enough evidence with the recording to put her and her husband in jail for threatening my life this morning. " he closes his mouth when he realizes that he just spilled the beans on what he had on tape.

" really so you recorded this morning well what you don't know is that if everyone in the room your recording would be worthless, but you have shown just what kind of snake you are. So guess what is going to happen to you my dearest nephew. You are going to be place in a military jail. I am going to see to it that you find out what hards.h.i.+p is. Now for my dearest sister in law I have one question for you. Are you the one who has been spreading the poison through our family against Aisling. " he sees her writhing in pain trying her best not to tell the truth. The more she struggles the more pain she is in.

"Yes I have hated that child since the first day I met her. She always had my husband wrapped around her finger. He would put her at times before our own children. Then when she was in that madman's sights I prayed for her to die so we could have a life without her interference." Once she told them that John lost it.

"You selfish self centered b.i.t.c.h. Do you not know who has more than once paid my salary when the church did not have it. She took out a mortgage against her home so that we would not lose ours. She has never asked me to pay one cent back. The same for you two she has taken care of you since she was old enough to work. None of you three deserve to live. All three of you deserve to be in jail or dead. " just then they hear a click the door behind the book case opens and Aisling comes out.
