Page 294 of Oracle Returns: Time will Stop

“Bish, you can’t live here. If that thing escapes us, you and Lucian have to get the hell out of here. Salem might just be swallowed whole.”

Oh, well, if that happened, Bishop somehow knew that where they went wouldn’t matter. If it followed the Littlemoons, and could move around freely, none of them would be safe.

This thing, riding some psychic human, would come for them.

They’d be hunted because they were tied to Oracle.

This was going to end.

BADLY.

Littlemoon Investigations

Twenty Minutes Later

Afternoon

When they returned to the office, it was pretty quiet in there. Julian was damn grateful for that, too.

After seeing that darkness, he wanted nothing more than to get as far from it as possible. If it was ever possible, he wanted to climb into one of their witches to lay low.

Yeah, that said it all.

The energy here felt a million times better, and for that, he was damn grateful.

Only, they had to share what they’d found.

Avalon and her ‘team’ were sitting on the couches, and they were meditating. She was moving between Genesis and Lucian, placing her hand on their heads, doing something Julian didn’t understand.

“Are they okay?” he whispered to Nate, hoping the man could help him understand what this was all about. While he was all over the woo-woo, being psychic, this looked…

Different.

Nate explained.

“She’s clearing their energy. At some point, they are going to have to go back in, and she’s worried. My wife feels like the energy in town is turning. That’s never good.”

Oh, shit.

Well, yeah.

They’d felt that too as they were out moving around in Salem. The darkness felt…looming.

Something was coming to a head.

He’d bet on it.

As there was a giant crash of lightning, everyone jumped. Well, everyone but Lucian and Avalon. Genesis on the other hand broke out of her meditation and looked around.

“It’s okay,” Avalon offered. “It’s just a storm.”

Only, no one there felt like it was ‘just a storm’. With each passing minute, it felt…like it was coming for them.

When Bishop and Honor disappeared into the conference room, Julian wasn’t sure if they were running or legitimately needed a place to work.

But he didn’t blame them.
