Necromancy

  My pulse quickened as I looked at the spirit that so happened to be my grandmother. Her hair was a dark brown with streaks of grey from aging. Her face was lightly wrinkled and her eyes were a greenish-brown. Wearing jeans, dark blue blouse, and a black shawl slung around her shoulders.

 "Hi..I.. I'm your grand-daughter.."I stuttered.

 She smiled lightly,"I see and what would you like?"She asked.

 "I can see and talk to the dead..But I don't know if I could do more and I was wondering if I could have answers."

 "Does anyone know you can do this?"

 "No.."I whispered.

 "Alright, what you are is not common."She glanced at me," A necromancer."

 "A what?"

  "you can control spirits,'she motioned towards the candles,"And it doesn't have to be at midnight or with candles."She chuckled. "It's quite a lovely gift."

 "What can I do?"

 "Summon them by just picturing them in your mind, using a good visual images, you can also vanish them you just have to picture pushing them away and slowly they disappear, you can also trap the spirit in it's old body but that normally doesn't end well....you have probably encountered with images of the past and demons correct?"I nodded."You can only teach your self with practice it's something you master on your own using your strength of power."

 "Why are they out to get me?"

"None of us know.."Her voice dropped.

"How did you die,"I whispered.

 "The fog got me."

 She was slowly disappearing probably being tugged back in the other world."master your power before they get you, too."She yelled before she dissolved.

 I couldn't really grasped what she said. I was just glad I wasn't crazy and might have a chance to save myself. Tomorrow was Saturday and I hoped meeting Billy's parents turned out okay.

 I groaned at the sound of my cell phone and answered it with my face still in my pillow."Hello,"I grumbled.

 "Babe, i'll be there in 15 minutes be ready and bring a bathing suit."I could her the smile in his voice.

 "Kay."I said as I hung up. I was exhausted and found it extremely hard to get out of bed but some how managed. Slipping on a Black bikini and throwing on faded short shorts and a white t-shirt. Brushing my hair and teeth. Applying little make-up and I was ready when the bell rang.

 I stepped out of the hallway as my mom was letting him in. The twins rushed to me and hugged my legs."Don't leave."They mumbled in to my skin."

 "But i'm going out with billy today."I sang.

They pulled back, crossing their arms."We are the only men you need!"said Ben.

 I waved good-bye as they glared at my new boyfriend. Chuckling as I pulled billy out the door with me."I don't think they like me."he commented as we got in his jeep and took off down the road.

 "Haha.. but I do." he smiled but his face became serious.

 "You alright."I knew what he was referring to.

 "Yeah, I deal with death really well."I said as I looked out the window. We turned onto a dirt road traveling deeper into the green forest. Finally, a house no wait a mansion came into view and I gasped. It was huge, towering over the forest like it owned the place.
