Chapter Fifteen - Shelton Gang

The next morning Suzy got up with Victoria and made the bread. At breakfast Suzy sat next to Albert and asked, "You doing alright Albert?"

Albert replied, "Sure, I want you to come down to the blacksmith shop today. I want to talk to you about something."

Suzy replied, "I can do that."

From across the table Jim questioned, "Henry how much would you charge me to have your stable boy take my team out to the Wilson farm?

Henry looked up and replied, "50 ¢ and you muck out two stalls. Then if it gets busy you have to do the stable boy's job."

Jim bellowed, "What? You want me to muck out stalls?"

Henry replied, "You paid for self-care. I've seen Suzan down there brushing them out, but you have never muck out their stalls. My stable boy has been doing it. Oh yah remember you only paid for one week."

Jim dropped his head and mumbled, "I guess I muck out stalls."

Albert stood up and announced, "Ready Henry? Come on James time to shovel some you know what."

Walking out Albert announced, "Ladies."

After seeing Patty and Charlie off Jim mucked out their stalls. Then he went to the Blacksmith shop and talked with Albert.

"I don't want to make this sound crazy, but we have a connection to the other side. You know where people go when they die. In our time we're still fighting the Witch's spirit. We had a spirit guide called a medium that could talk to the other side. She would help us and tell us what loved ones that passed on would say. When we left our time we lost that guide. Now we have the Crow for a guide. The Crow works different from the medium. We could talk to the medium and get answers, but the crow just puts thoughts in our mind. Then we have to guess what to do with it. It will also lead us somewhere, show us something, or worn us of danger.

This fight we're in is a fight between good and evil. We do good and evil tries to steal it for their use. The only weapon we have evil can't touch is love. Love has power over everything. Suzy has a lot of outward love, but inside she's in pain. She is felled with anguish, grief, regret, and sorrow, so much so it hurts me to think of it. She carries that with her every day, and yet somehow gives love to everyone around her.

I have to tell you we don't have a plan. We had one before we got here, but what we thought would work is useless. It would just stop one spell, and she is casting spells and incantations every day. You've seen some of them from the Crow. Some turn into a curse that is passed on from father to son, or mother to daughter, and can go on until the blood line ends. That's the one we came to stop. It's still going on a hundred and fifty years from now. Believe it or not Edna's spirit is still living in the Hanson house a hundred and fifty years from now. We were fighting her every day until we came back to this time. We're sure she knows where here, but if she kills me the curse ends.

As far as we know there is only one way to kill a Witch. You have to hang the Witch, and burn her body. If you don't burn her body she will come back to life in a few days.

Just then Henry walked in and questioned, "Talking about Witches are you. Where's Benjamin he knows all about that stuff. He's from England where they fight Witches all the time. Jim I got a customer that needs a horse saddled up. Can you go take care of them?"

Jim jumped up and said, "Sure."

Over at the stables Jim saw it was Suzy with a horse all saddled up. She questioned, "How is Albert doing?"

Jim replied, "I've been telling him everything, and he hasn't said a word. I don't know what he's thinking, but at this point I think we're fine. No one would ever believe him anyway. Hell, I almost don't believe it and I'm living it."
