chapter 7

Anita wondered what her mum meant. She couldn't make any meaning out of it and went back to sleep. The following dawnPat insisted that they must not eat anything the woman gives them and handed them the fig like fruits. After eating it they felt full. Pat left for the priest's place as the three felt tired and weak. Anita became paranoid due to the dream. She entered the inner part of the house where the woman stayed. What do you want the woman asked Anita. Something isn't just right. Anita said. Something about this entire journey feels strange and planned. I'm glad you've realised that. Huh? Anita asked. From the very beginning I noticed something wasn't right with your sister. I think she's been possessed. Anita was shocked at the revelation. That explains the dream she blurted. How do we free her?? I have a sacred goat in the back yard. We must perform a ritual where your sister's blood will drip into the fire and upon touching the goat the spirit will be trapped in there she said. Then what happens to it. Well since the goat is sacred it will be trapped in there with no means of escaping then we can hand it down to the priests. Anita agreed and informed her brothers about this. When Pat arrived at the break of dawn she insisted they start the journey as soon as possible. The woman has a ritual she would like to perform before we leave. What? Have you three lost it she doesn't want us to succeed. Let's just do it at least to thank her for lending her creepy house to us. Gerald said. They all laughed lightly at this. Fine, pat said.
