Page 232 of Oracle Returns: Time will Stop

“You’ve been the best thing that ever happened to me. Loving and finding you, Bethany, has been my salvation. I was lost, but you found me.”

She touched his freckled cheek.

“What do you need me to do?”

He knew.

Just as he was about to tell her, the whole house shook with a wave of power.

It could only be from one person.

ORACLE.

They all heard her.

I’m opening the spell to help you get out. It’s coming for Lucian, and then, it’s coming for the other psychics in your family. It has bought the medallions, and it’s preparing. Get ready to save them.

There was a bright tear in the spell, and only the dead could see it.

Trey knew what he needed to do.

“The Captain, Jake, and I are going. Bethany, you stay here with the women, and don’t let on that we’re missing. I need you to cover for us if the witch gets suspicious.”

She didn’t like this.

“Okay, Trey.”

He focused on an angry Jake, and a bewildered Captain.

Oh, this was absolutely going to go to shit. He could feel it in his balls.

“Men, suit up. We’re going to war!” he said, as he morphed into fatigues.

Stay hidden until we need you. When I call for you, you’ll know what you need to do. Hurry. I can’t keep the spell open for long.

Trey heard Oracle, and the three men hustled to the crack in the spell. When they stepped through, they disappeared.

Only, Bethany wasn’t listening.

Fuck that.

“Ladies, we’re going to go save the men because they can’t do anything without us!”

The four women had just enough time to slip through the tear before it sealed shut.

Again.

Now, they would make sure that when the war started, it wasn’t only the men fighting.

No.

The women would too.

Against this darkness, it would take everything.

And Bethany wasn’t losing her soldier.

Oh.
