Aimee POV

We all sit in a circle knees touching palms facing upwards with our hand resting on and under the each others. We all close our eyes and picture a white light surrounding us, protecting us from evil. When we open our eyes, the air in the room has stalled, and the dust has settled as if we never disrupted the air in the first place. The silence in the room is piercing, not even creatures of the night seem to want to stir. Somehow knowing that this room, this place is off limits. We placed a finger wordlessly on the planchette and recited the lords holy pray as a group. Donna elected to record the session, and I said I would ask the questions, so when Donna was looking around the room before Cassie, and I had been deciding what to ask.

"Hello? Is there anyone here" I say with confidence as in my experience it doesn't pay well to show fear.

"We would just like to ask you a few questions......hello?"

Slowly the planchette starts to move to the word hello.

"Hello. I would like to know your name if I may."

The planchette slowly starts to move.

*TO KNOW MY NAME WOULD BE RUDE AS THREE OF US LIVE IN THIS ROOM WAIT A LONG TIME THAT WE HAVE TO HAVE OUR PRECIOUS LILA BACK*

"What do you mean? To have your precious Lila back?"

*WAIT A LONG TIME THAT WE HAVE TO HAVE OUR PRECIOUS LILA BACK. HER SPRIT IS PURE IT MUST BE SAVED SENT TOO EARLY TO OUGRAVE*

"Who are you?"

*THREE OF US HAVE REMAINED TO WAIT FOR THIS SPECIAL DAY. OUR AGE BUT A NUMBER IN YOUR WORLD YOU THREE WILL CARRY US FOUR GIRLS*

"Wait? What? I thought you said there were only three of you?"

*LILA SHE IS NUMBER 4 SHE HAD THE SOUL TO OPEN THE DOOR*

"What door? What do you mean we will carry you?"

*QUIET NOW IT HAS BEGUN NONE OF YOU WILL BARE A SON FOUR GIRLS SHALL BE BORN TO ONCE AGAIN CLOSE THE DOOR*

"WHAT DOOR?!" I shriek looking around the room.

*FIRST, A FAVOUR YOU MUST DO BURRY US PLEASE SO WE CAN LEAVE TOO*

"Burry you? But the orphanage was abandoned, and all the girl put into homes or adopted.

*FOUR OF US REMIN TO TAKE PART IN THE NUNS SPECIAL GAME. READ THE BOOK ON THE DESK AND FINALLY LAY US TO REST. KEEP THE DOLLS OF US YOU MUST. NOW HURRY UP. WHEN IT COMES TO TIME YOU DON'T HAVE MUCH*

The planchette violently moves to the word 'goodbye' and we break the connection. I look at Donnas' face, and she is white as a ghost herself and shaking like a leaf. Cassie is following something with her eyes, and slowly they land on the desk. I put my head in my hands and sigh.

"I....I.....I don't know what to do next" I stammer quietly, afraid to startle the other two.

"We do as they said," Donna says with more conviction than I thought her capable. She stands and helps Cassie and I up.

"Thanks" I mumble.

We all gingerly edge start to our way over to the book. Donna gasps.

"That.....that wasn't written there before," she says pointing.

Cassie and I lean over the book to read the words.

*July 18, 1955,*

As a child, I played in the forest nearby,

One evening I heard, a little girl cry,

It was obvious she was lost,

In the middle of winters frost.

I ran out in a frantic search,

Bells rang in the orphanage church,

Ran faster, followed the cries,

My fear for her began to rise.

Cries turned into a continuous weep,

I never felt emotions so deep.

Looked up, dropped to my knees, Baby Lila, I saw in the trees.
