Chapter Four – The Bank Account

Just then the door to the house flew open with a bang, and everyone looked at the house. The curtains flew and the Witch appeared in the doorway laughing. Then she faded away.

Malinda questioned, "Did you see that or was it just me?"

At the same time Jim and Suzy replied, "Oh yah we saw that."

Malinda exclaimed, "I think we pissed her off. Not good, not good at all."

Then it got cold and an eerie fog moved in. It was so thick everything started to fade away. Malinda jumped in her car. Backed it up and turned it around. Then she sped down the driveway. Her taillights disappeared as Jim insisted, "Let's get out of here."

Suzy agreed as they got in her car and took off. On the road they drove out of the fog and saw Malinda up ahead. They followed her to town where she stopped at the Keyhole bar and grill.

Inside they sat across from Malinda in a booth. Malinda ordered a double Mudslide as Jim questioned, "Why did you take off like that?"

Malinda took a deep breath as she confessed, "I see and hear things other people don't even know about. Autum would not stop talking and it was making it hard to think. Nothing felt right to me. Autum has a strange magic about her. I have never experienced anything like it before.

Then when the Witch appeared Autum raised her hand and a ball of bright swirling energy appeared. Then she threw the ball of bright flashing colored light at the Witch. The ball exploded surrounding the Witch with flashes of light like a sparkler. It was like the Witch was surrounded by millions of tiny flickering stars."

The waitress set the Mudslide on the table with a smile. Malinda picked up the drink and chugged half it down. Wiping her face with a napkin she continued, "As the Witched laughed Autum threw two more of the bright swirling balls. Then Autum looked right at me and yelled go! The sound echoed through my head, and I knew I had to get out of there."

Malinda took another drink as Suzy stared at her intensely and Jim mumbled, "What the..."

"I know Jim. That's what I'm thinking," Malinda replied.

Drinking down the last of her Mudslide Malinda questioned, "When did you move out Jim?"

Jim replied, "I'm still living there Malinda."

Malinda insisted, "No! No! Get out of there. Don't go back in that house. When I found out Suzy wasn't the new owner and you hadn't passed or sold the place. I didn't know what to think, but I can tell you this. I won't go back there, and you should stay out of the house too. Don't remove any of Autum's stuff. Just leave everything as it is."

The waitress came and picked up the empty glass. Then she questioned, "Can I get you anything else?"

Malinda questioned, "Can I get one of you to take me back to the Hotel?"

Jim replied, "Sure."

Then Malinda looked at the waitress and informed, "I'll have another double please."

Looking at Jim and Suzy the waitress question, "And what will you have?"

Jim replied, "Just coffee for me."

Suzy insisted, "The same for me."

With that the waitress left and Malinda continued, "The house is where everything comes from. I do believe that's where the spell was cast. In fact I believe a lot of spells were cast there. I'm putting that house on my top ten places to never go.

However there is one thing I wanted to warn you about. If you build the truck there will be consequences if you succeed. It will send a wake through the time passages. I know nothing about this kind of thing, but I do know everything comes at a price."
