To Catch A Cardinal

Chapter 39

(Ghosts Pov can't happen yet btw.)

*Crystals Pov*

The hallways where quite. Toast and Kat where down stairs watching a movie. I closed the door to my room behind me, leaning against it and locking it. After all no one could know.

I stepped silently into the center of my room. My bed was in the far left corner, but it was really just a heap of blankets. I liked to sleep in a ball/wolf form. But I couldn't sleep just yet.

There was vengeance to be served. But later. I looked over to my right and looked at my desk. There was a pencil laying there, but it didn't move. Like always. I went to my book self and removed the 4 books on the bottom self. That touched the floor. I reached behind the case and felt around for the small switch.

I felt it click and the bottom board of wood popped up from the floor. The book case was pressured so if the books where on it it wouldn't do anything. I picked up the plank and placed it softly on the ground and removed the materials inside.

There was a pack of matches, some candles, a book, some black power and a tiny jar the size of my thumb which had a black thick liquid in it. I placed all the things out and put the cover back together.

I went to the center of my room and started to set them up. The four candles made a square. I put the powder around in lines and connected them like an hour glass. I stuck a match and lit the candles then blew out the match and threw it away.

I placed the book in the center and flipped the page to the last one, it was Nycoles original spell book before she had just obtained it's powers. And maybe I could do the same now that she was gone.

After you helped murder her. Yeah I can't believe your going though with this.

"And you can shut up now." I said quietly.

Alright what ever, but if you succeed, you know the price.

I grimaced and sucked in a big breath. It was time. I listened and heard foot steps and I was muttering while flipping though the pages. I quickly shut up and the foot steps died off with the closing of a door.

I let out a breath I didn't know I was holding. I finally found the page I was looking for. Then I stood up and went over to the desk. The small faint light was still there. But not for much longer.

I picked up the jar that contained her soul and placed it above the book. The matches grew brighter, the air had become thicker and the smoke was taking its form. A figure was now standing infront of me and I stood up and bowed to it.

"Show me the soul." Said the clouded figure. It was a mans voice and it was pretty deep.

I picked up the jar and held it in front of me as I looked at the ground. He walked around and smiled. "Well done Darkmoon, you have done your duty to the Black Blood." The next meeting is at Midnight tommarow. After your absence, Deathmist was getting worried some."

I growled a bit. "Deathmist was worried about me? Ha! Yeah right Blackwhisper. The leader if the Black Bloods worried about a simple servent?"

"He was, but as the deputy you must show more respect to him. He likes you more than you think. After all, you did save his life."

"Yeah yeah yeah, just go already." I said harshly. "My friends could hear me, now scat. Don't forget whos risking their life."

"Fine, dismissed." I waved my hand though the air and he vanished. I was making progress and if I could get Deathmist to trust me, the closer I was to ruling the Black Bloods.
