The attic was the last place Violet wanted to be. 
Especially in the attic to summon demons and talk to fucking spirits. 
If it weren't for Jackie's pleading eyes, Violet would be downstairs with Coach, Taissa, Javi and Laura Lee, doing something that was a better use of her time; Like, reading a book, grabbing more water from the lake or doing literally anything else then sitting in the creepy attic where she found a rotting corpse that prevented her from sleeping. 
Instead, she sat in between Van and Nat, watching as Shauna stood blindfolded, Jackie mixing around something in a bowl with her finger before drawing and X over her best friend's forehead. 

"Oh keeper of this wild and hidden place, we anoint ourselves with blood and earth," Jackie walks over, passing the bowl down to Travis, who looks at it with suspicion. 
"It's just dirt and deer blood," she deadpans, "Classic witch recipe. Relax" 
Violet and Natalie share a look, both the girls curling their lips in to repress the laughs they felt creeping up their throats. 
When Natalie passes Violet the bowl, the brunette scrunches her nose, "I'm not putting that shit on my face," 
"What? Worried it'll clog your pores?" Natalie teases. 
Violet rolls her eyes, "It's blood. And dirt," 
Natalie just smirks, dipping her finger in the blood, smearing an X on Violet's forehead. 
"No one left behind,"
Violet glares, "I hate you," 
"Love you too, Vi," Natalie smiles reaching over the brunette, passing the bowl to Van. 

Jackie sits down with a smile, giving a long inhale, raising her arms in the air. 
"Oh spirit. We offer our sister as an instrument. Come to us and speak your peace," 
"It is I," Shauna begins, "Jacques," 
Stifled laughter fills the room, Violet offering a smile along with the group of girls. 
The laughter from the girls helps put Violet at a bit of ease, almost making her forget events that had taken place prior. 
Almost. 
Shauna clears her throat, making her voice deeper when she repeats, "Jacques." 
Jackie's face drops along with her arms as the girls abrupt into giggles, Violet anxiously plays with the rings that decorate her fingers. 
"Ask your questions. The pendulum will answer them," 

"Okay," Van clears her throat, closing her eyes and resting her hands on her knees. 
"Dear dead hunter guy...did O.J do it?" 
Violet can't help the surprise laugh that escapes her mouth at the question, the rest of the girls join her in laughter, only to be interrupted by Jackie. 
"Come on, guys, real questions," 
"The veil is thin between our two planes. Ask what is in your heart," 
"I'll go," Mari chirps in, "Is Principal Berzonsky screwing Ms. DeWine?" 
The knife swings in a circle, Violet giggles beside Van.
"It is certain," 
"Oh my gosh, scandalous." Violet laughs, the other girls joining in. 
"Hunter guy," Akilah buts in, "If we hadn't crashed, would we have won nationals?" 
The girls all watch in anticipation, evidently all groaning when it goes in a line. 
"Oh come on," Van groans.
"I'm calling bullshit on that one," Violet crosses her arms over her chest, earning a small smile from Jackie. 

~~~

"They're obviously fake," Van laughs, Violet shakes her head with a grin beside her. 
"Well no shit,"
You really need a ghost to tell you that?' Natalie laughs throwing her hands on her knees.
"But who would've paid for them? Her parents?" Mari asks, tilting her head. 
"In what world would parents pay for a boob job?" Violet responds, her attention being diverted slightly when Javi and Taissa come up to join them.
"I thought I told you to stay downstairs" Travis glares at his younger brother, Javi barley batts an eye at the statement. "Whatever, it's boring," 
Van chirps back in, "I think her parents just got divorced recently, could be guilt money,"
"Well that's just creepy,"
"And bad parenting," 
"Well, honey, your mom and I are splitting up, but don't worry, cause your tits are going to look amazing!" Van exasperates, Violet laughs beside her, shaking her head. 

"Okay, guys, guys focus," Jackie dismisses, "Next question. Misty?" 
Misty grins in nervousness, clearing her throat, "Um. Dear spirit, I need to know the truth. Does the person I like, like me back?" 
"Awe," Violet cooed tilting her head with a smile, "That's actually really cute,"  
The knife swings in a circle again, the girls 'Oh's' and whistle to Misty, "Get it girl," Mari grins. 
"Okay, next question?" 
Violet stifles a yawn, resting her head on on Nat's shoulder as Javi raises his hand.
