Future vs Past

19

Once the two families were here, we were explaining them what we knew. That neither family was attacking the other but a ghost, someone who had stuck up in a feud and didn't want to let go, forcing the two families to fight as enemies.

James Callaway seemed skeptical, "You think a ghost is trying to break the truce?"

"Uh, an angry relative maybe?" I suggested, actually feeling annoyed that they didn't seem to listen out "You know, someone who is still tethered to the feud, someone who can't or won't let go"

Paige frowned at us, "Why didn't you tell me about this?"

"No time, sorry" Piper apologized, shrugging

"This is ridiculous" Steve Montana scoffed, starting to walk away "It's just another one of their tricks"

Richard Montana stopped him, "No, it's not. I asked them to come, just let it play out, alright?"

Piper nodded at me. I started to lit up the candles. She turned to them, "By summoning this spirit, we bring them into our plane, so be careful not to break the circle until we've helped it move on. Or else we're gonna have some angry spirits running a muck" She looked at everyone "Everybody ready?" Phoebe twitched slightly, humming uncomfortably. I rolled my eyes seeing the Montana's and the Callaway's expressions. It was obvious she was broadcasting their skepticism "Phoebe?" 

"Oh, sorry, it's just there's... " Phoebe moved her hands around them, showing the skepticism she felt from them "everybody's like... oof"

I gave her a slight smile, gesturing at everyone to sit down. They did, mostly reluctantly and we all joined hands 

Piper turned to me, "Bree"

I took a deep breath, looking down at the spell I had written to summon this spirit, focusing my magic in it to work, "Unknown spirit we call to thee, those who wish to set you free, cross on over so we may help, come to use reveal yourself." I closed my eyes, feeling my magic stirring up, flowing through my veins as a gust of wind blew in the centre of our circle.

I opened my eyes seeing magical lights appear in the circle.

"Hold on" Piper warned

The magical lights formed into a woman. My guess, Olivia.

James widened his eyes, breathless and shocked "Olivia"

Olivia, the Ghost smiled at James "Hello, daddy. Miss me?" She turned to Richard, smile turning seductively. That actually made me gag. I could actually feel her love with a slight corrupted vibe within her. I didn't know what that meant exactly "Richard"

"I don't understand" James shook his head, looking at his daughter in disbelief "You attacked us. Why?"

Olivia looked at her father, "Because you didn't avenge my death, that's why"

Rosaline Montana spoke up, "But you were hit by one of your own"

Olivia scoffed, "Or so you were lead to think. But that's not exactly true" she turned to Steve "Is it, Steve?"

We all turned to him.

Steve actually looked guilty "It was an accident"

Craig Montana spoke up, "We were set up"

Rosaline tried to let go of James' hand but he held on tight.
