Chapter 10

Jay was standing in the kitchen, once again, setting up something on the ground. He bought black salt the next morning and 5 white, wax candles.

"What are you doing Jay?" I ask, irritated at him ignoring me for the past few minutes.

"I'm testing out something Cor," He said as he finished the Star inside the circle with the salt. He lit the candles and pulled out a book labeled 'How to Bring Ghosts Back from the Dead'

"Cordelia, stand in the middle of the circle" He looked at me with a glint in his eyes

"What?" I ask

"Stand in the middle of the fucking circle!"

"You're trying to bring us back..." I whisper to myself

"I made a mistake and I want my baby and you back to me"

"A mistake..." I retort

"Even if this works...it might not bring my baby back..." I said

"Our baby will be with us again!" He yelled.

"What if I don't want to be with you again?" I cried.

"I'll make it up to you in any way I can so you'll love me again..." He reached for my hands but I ripped my hands away before he could touch me.

So far, since that night, he's the only person who can see and touch me. People would probably think he's insane for holding his hands out to nothing, or me...

"What if my baby doesn't come back?" I mutter to him, his eyes were filled with regret and sorrow as he stared at me

"We can make another..." He suggests

I had to think a second before nodding and stepping onto the middle of the circle. He took the book fr the table like his life depended on it, he flipped through some pages till he found the right one.

"Give me the power to bring her back! Give me the power to bring her back!! GIVE ME THE POWER TO BRING CORDELIA ELIZABETH STONE BACK TO LIFE!" He yelled as lightning thundered each time he repeated the ritual. My body ached and pained. My whimpers and screams were heard as my arms wrapped around my body. Then the floor opened with flames surround it and out came a man...

But this isn't any man...
