But I'm gonna burn, I'm gonna shine and multiply
I'm gonna fill up the great divide
SONG FOR THIS CHAPTER: MISS HALFWAY - ANYA MARINA
une mort unblinking
"Cami?" Marie frowns and picks up her phone as she slows her pace down and stands next to the large oak study table.
"I..I need help, you did your medical degree in Columbia right?" Cami asked nervously.
"Yeah back in '89. Why?" Marie replies, sipping her tea.
"J..Just come over to the attic at St Anne's. I'll explain." Cami hangs up the phone, Marie just looks stunned.
"Um, okay then bye."
"Help me lay him on his side!" Cami yells, Marie hears a thud, alarmed she rushes into the room, pushing the door roughly, so hard that it squeaks on its hinges.
"He's having a seizure! Is this because of the hex?" Marie asked, brushing the hair off Kieran who had fallen off his chair and convulsing on the floor. Cami, kneels next to him.
"Marie. Cami." Kieran furrows his eyebrows and looks at the two blondes in confusion.
"Father Kieran, please calm down. You're having a seizure." Marie explains slowly as she holds the feeble man.
"Uncle Kieran?" Cami asked hopeful.
"What do you want from me?" Kieran shouts, thrashing in Marie's grip.
"Josh, help me hold him!" Marie yells, moving her body in an awkward position to avoid getting punched by the man.
Kieran backs away into a corner, and Marie, Cami and Josh stand up to talk alone. "You saw that, right? It was just for a second, but it was him. "
They all stare at Kieran, who anxiously grabs the cross around the neck and squeezes it. " I don't know, Cami. I mean, maybe he's still in there underneath all the crazy, but the crazy is pretty thick. "
"Maybe he just needs a shock to his system, something to wipe the slate clean. Marie, Josh, I think I have an idea on how to fix him." Cami smiles, and turns to leave the attic.
"You're not.. not suggesting shock therapy? Cami? Cami?" Marie shouts, and runs for Cami.
Cami is on the phone with Marcel, updating him on Kieran's condition. "Mmm-mm. No way. "
"Cami, Josh told me how bad things have gotten. I should be there for you. Just let me help!" Marcel whines.
"How? By getting yourself killed? You have a target on your back, Marcel. The last thing I need is for you to get hurt because of me." Cami stresses, "Besides, Marie's here. She can protect me."
" I'm more worried about you. Kieran is dangerous. He has been hexed, Marie may be strong but she is not that strong." Marcel urges.
