   Rayne hopped in the pearly white Cadillac with Ms. Wessely. They drove all day. Arriving at the break of dawn  to the Harmon brother's cabin.
  Looking like the same as the others before it. A dirt driveway to a riggity dusty old shack.
The pair walked up and knocked on the door. They heard howls of laughter. Then a voice spoke up," come on in. The doors open."
So they did. The inside was small,dusty and painted an Erie reddish black.
They walked into the living room. It was dusty, uncleaned. The walls were faded and dirty. The floors creaked. There was a small thin wooden table up against the wall with four wooden red chairs.
  The harmon brothers were tall lanky tree men with pale white skin and overly thick middle sections that had thin branches for arms and long skinny legs. They towered the compitetion.
The oldest harmon spoke first," its been awhile young man. Where have you been hiding! We been waiting for you."
Then the other spoke with no hesitation," ya lil buddy! We need your handy hands to do what they do best! Miracles! Lay em on us and lets do this. Im starting to feel woozy."
Rayne thought to himself," you pieces of shit! Ive seen what you've done! your monsters. I dont want to help you," but he did.
He got that magical feeling again and did his job.
  Then Ms. Wessely spoke," how have you boys been? Staying out of trouble i hope!"
They all howled in laughter except for rayne. Then the older harmon spoke again," oh my lady. You know us. Clean as a whistle but we have to talk to you about something in private."
Ms. Wessely replied with a half laugh herself," only after i recieve my payment. Then we'll talk. You know how this buisness works.
They knodded in agreement and left the room. Going out the front door to the back of the shack.
  Rayne projected himself out as he thought," nifty new trick. Thanks Giselle."
Rayne walked through the shabby faded wall. To the outside where he decided to investigate doing a little ease dropping himself.
He heard the younger harmon tell Ms. Wessely," its about time. We need him to heal a couple more of us. then we can make our move on the freak show."
The other spoke right after," yes but we need Mr. Vaye the vile. You must visit him and dont forget Mr. Remi. He'll help. We need your wretched boy to do his part. Is that gonna be a problem Ms. Wessely?."
Ms. Wessely gleamed a smile saying,"  Is there ever?"
They both gleamed a smile back hooting and hollowering ," we dont know how you do it but you do. I couldnt do your job. Ours is hard enough but that boy would be a pain in the ass. Look at him sad and pitiful. Hats off to you!"
Ms. Wessely smiled while saying," thank you boys for your buisness. i must be on my way but your right. Its hard being around him. Id strangle him myself. If we didnt need him but the pills will do their job and you'll get the power you seek from him."
Rayne went back to his body. He thought again to himself," their right Giselle is right. She doesnt love me. She's using me." He started to cry but held it back.
Ms. Wessely came back in. She grabbed Rayne's wheelchair and took him to the Cadillac.

Halfway back to Rayne's cabin. they made another stop. As Ms. Wessely had told Rayne they would make a pit stop at a friends house.
  It was the middle of the night. The moon was full and the sky was dark.  They pulled up to a long driveway. that dirt yet again
This time it was a house. It looked abandoned. The outside had broken windows, beat up worn out walls that were a faded brown wood and a screen door that stayed partway open. You could hear it creaking.
  They walked up. opening the screen door knocking on the wooden door behind it. Which had holes in it.
They heard a raspy loud voice," come!come on in. Its open. Im to weak. Just come on in. Damn it. Hurry up i dont have all night"
So they did. Ms. Wessely pushed Rayne though the house. Which was dark and creepy. You couldnt see a thing but one light from a room in the back of the house.
She rolled rayne back to the lit up room. Where there was a king sized bed with red and black silk sheets. The walls had holes with a brown beat up coating to them.
  The place was dusty. The floors themselves were planks that looked rotted out. It seemed as tho they'd break if you stepped wrong. Creaking with every step you'd take. A couple of the board on the floor were missing.
  The man laying on the bed was old, thin as a twig with long white hair and by all means looked to be full of disease. as his pale white skin had become cracked, withered away to an ever paler damaged soul. That showed itself to Rayne. It looked rotted, hollowed out. in Rayne's mind anyways. He could feel death grasping to reach this man's reality.
Ms. Wessely spoke somberly watching her words carefully ," hey Mr. Vaye! Long time no see. Your condition is worsening. I see. How about we try to help you feel young again!."
Mr. Vaye spoke harsly with his raspy voice," how about you hurry the fuck up then. I used all my resources and now here i lay. They'll pay! the whole fucking lot of them. You dont disgrace me. You disgusting lot of fools. Ill find you. All of you. Then kill you with my last breathe. Believe me!"
Ms wessely replied with fear in her voice as even she was trembling in this man's presence," yes Mr vaye. They will pay. Now let my boy help you."
  Rayne didnt want to help this man. He could feel true evil pouring from him.
Rayne pretended to use the power bestowed upon him. As he made it short circuit with sparks coming out his hands.
He looked at Ms. Wessely saying shrewdly," i dont know what happening. Im trying. I must of used it all earlier. Im sorry."
Ms. Wessely went red in the face with anger as she spoke loudly," boy you better do this now cause if you dont. Your punishment will be severe."
  Rayne had never seen this side of her but pushed his luck anyway. Nothing came out this time not even a spark.
Ms. Wessely rolled him out the room hitting him across the face. Harder each time. Till Rayne's cheeks were red with imprints.
Rayne started to cry but Ms. Wessely spoke again with anger that went volcanic," dont embaress me. This man will kill us. Do something. Dont make me come out here again. Wipe your tears. Theres no time for rain!"
She rolled him back in and he did what he was told but he didnt do it fully. He passed out in the middle of it.
  Mr. Vayes skin started to get elasticity. His hair went from white to black. He looked and felt younger. A middle aged man who had his vigor and spice back.
Ms. Wessely talked to Mr. Vaye for a minute then rolled rayne back to the car.

Rayne woke up. as they reached the cabin. he no longer called home.
Ms. Wessely apologized before putting him in his bed. Telling him she was sorry. It wouldnt happen again but rayne was passed it thinking to himself. If you do it once you'll do it again.
She gave Rayne his pills. telling him to go to bed but he spit them out when she left. tucking them in his bed.
He thought to himself," ok Giselle said think of her and she'll answer."
So he did saying," Giselle help me! please! get me out of here. Ill help you i promise! Just please get me out."
He heard her reply with a whisper," ok we'll be right there. Be ready. Its gotta be quick. before she notices your gone."
16b
  It was about an hour later when Rayne heard Giselle's voice again. This time it was louder. She told him to get to his window but be careful.
  Rayne gently moved himself to a sitting position on the side of his bed. Then he lifted his legs dropping them onto the floor.
  They made a small thud. as he wasnt use to using them but this time it was easier to walk. He felt more strength in him.
He thought the more i dont take those damn pills. The better I feel.
He krept to the window almost stumbling to the floor but he caught the lip of window managing to make  little to no noise.
He stared out into the darkly lit sky. The stars were bright shining trickles of light that reflected off of the ground.
Giselle popped her curly hair and purple hat from under the window.
  She opened the window with her mind. It rolled up slowly. As she dissappeared and leo and cleo appeared.
They lifted Rayne out the window. Putting him on Leo's back. Then they went off into a midnight run with their escapee in hand.
16c
The gang stopped after running awhile. They came to a spot littered with oak trees. Thick and burly with underbrush all around. blowing itself around with the light breeze from above.
Rayne spoke," i dont know if this means anything to you but those men said their making a big move. i think its on you and the rest of your friends."
Giselle spoke still gasping for air. as she was a little winded still," yes it's for us. They want immortality! Invisibility! They think we have the spell to guide them into a fountain of youth. We do know of such things but not for them."
  Rayne pondered his own imagination. then spoke with a thoughtfulness," what are we gonna do? They want to kill you. I met a guy named Mr. Vaye. He seemed worse than the others. Pure evil! He talked about finding the people that did this to him and Killing them!"
  Cleo spoke with a high pitched wonderously dangerous squeal saying," we met him. He's evil incarnate! Tho this isn't the first time they've played this game. The last time the results were deadly. Sinners! This time they wont underestimate us."
  Leo spoke up in the same mighty voice with more fury in it," i almost killed him. Almost!  never! will we underestimate any opponent. These men. They will feed from our souls and take what doesnt belong to them. They must be stopped from hurting the innocent."
  Then Giselle's whistling voice chimed up," or from hurting us. They took my father from me. Now they want us. This has to end!"
Rayne spoke in his calm voice," where'd they take him."
Giselle replied," they put him in the sky,"
16d
Giselle took rayne to a black and purple striped tent. The inside had a twin sized bed with purple shiny sheetts covered in black twinkling stars. a large brown and gold trimmed dresser on the other side from the bed. With posters that hung from the wall of the tent. showing magicians doing tricks and pictures of her dad and her holding hands at the circus. Eating ice cream together on a bench and performing together for the first time ever. for it was their last time together.
Giselle layed with rayne on the bed. They fell asleep holding hands. Rayne had thought," this is the best feeling in the world. Even if it came at the worst time."
  He was just happy to be next to someone who gave him a new lease on life and it helped he thought she was beautiful. He felt nervous. Having only slept by himself his whole life.
  Then he started to see pictures in his mind of the black cloud from above the sky hanging over jinn's santuary.
  It spoke to him in a loud death defying buzz." The time is amost nye! You must help all my children. They'll need you. You can stop this. You must release me from this curse. Only you can do this."
Then more pictures filled Rayne's mind of men wearing black suits with small round heads. no hair just pale white skin beady eyes and towering treelike bodies. circling like sharks with their spinning teeth. rows of them. Ready to prey on unsuspecting victims.
  Their was one that looked worse than the others. It shot out smoke like a chimney set ablaze. It had a huge gross belly that puffed out as the pale skin on him was cracked with black blood lines maneuvering all throughout it's body.
It covered everyone with that thick black smoke suffocating everyone. As the rest ran through eating everyone. You could hear morrid cries for help. As they were eating every person on the grounds of the circus.
Then Rayne passed out squeezing Giselle's hand. She pulled him close telling him he'll be ok and he told her what he saw.

Two days after the brothers left. Giselle's father told her he loved her. among many other things that always complimented her well being.
    Saying she's the most beautiful girl in the Galaxy. He was happy she was his gypsy queen.
   He always said these things but today they felt more important. More sympothetic! It seemed to have more meaning with it.
    Every word he spoke you could feel the intensity of it's meaning. She even seen a couple of tears reach his cheek. before he wiped them away with his strong burly hands.
17b
  Later that day he gathered all the people who worked in jinn's sanctuary. telling them all to stay inside tonight. That it would be in their best interest to do so.
Then he found Giselle. He took her to her tent and placed her on her bed.
   He rubbed her cheek telling her in the softest sympathetic fatherly voice that was possible for him in this moment saying," tonight your gonna hide under the trap door. under your dresser. Ok my lil gympsy queen!. No if ans or bullshit about it. You gotta listen tonight. I know you dont like too. It's not your strong suite but tonight it has to be your spade. No jokes baby girl. I'll do my card trick for you tonight. its your favorite."
  His eyes lit up with a pearly white. While the middles were a darkness of swirling black fogginess.
  A deck of cards levitated from his pockets up to the front of his face.. They started to shuffle themselves. After they were done they spread out like a rainbow.
The cards started to glow white with a dark blazing edge. They started to form a circle with the queen of hearts in the middle.
  The cards face was Giselle's.
   Next the king of spades placed itself next to the queen showing Giselle's fathers face.
The rest of the card started to spiral in the circle shooting black sparks. Lighting the whole space inside in a white glow.
It showed a future. where giselle was grown, happy! Dancing in a circle with all her friends and her father.  Afterwords her father held her up in the air. as she screamed with joy.
Then her father spoke as the image changed with a tidal wave of black ominous sparks washing over it.
It then showed rayne in his wheelchair. Giselle's father saying," he will bring us together but you must save him first. He's in alot of trouble. He's a good kid. One of the best. For us to be together again. He must be set free."
Giselle still a young child spoke with wonder and fascination," i dont get it daddy!? Whats happening? Your gonna be here forever. You still gotta teach me the ways of this world."
  He spoke back laughing with a honest to all voice," my lil queen! You'll learn through life. You got this! You're smart. You know how to run this show already. Look how you light up the every room. No one does it better than you. I love you my lil gypsy queen of the night!
He kissed her forehead. He then moved the dresser. His eyes lit up. Opening a hole in the ground. A big wide black puddle moved to an opening big enough to fit Giselle. He placed her in it. Moving the dresser back over her. Camoflauging it with a shadowy presence. To not be seen and so she couldnt escape or scream. he restrained her with shadow cuffs over her arms and mouth.
