Chapter Fourteen – What Vicki Saw
“Let go of me,” Vicki’s voice barely registered with her it was so distant and low. There was a loud slam and then the rustle of cloth, again. “Aunt Piper?” Vicki’s scared voice said questioningly.
“I’m here, Vicki,” Piper assured her. “What happened?”
Vicki looked around. She could see Marissa clearly now, but everything else was a blur. There were vague outlines of walls and other objects but only the faintest sign of people. She focused her eyes on where she had last seen her mom and heaved in a deep breath followed by another. Slowly her mom came into focus. “Aunt Piper, this is really weird.”
“What happened?” Piper asked, again.
“The demon captured me,” Vicki informed her. “The phone got tangled up in my clothes and I guess it didn’t get dislodged during the struggle. I’m not really sure what happened there. I think he turned us both invisible while he tried to subdue me, because no one seemed to see what was going and then he pulled me through a door in the middle of the room. The door disappeared as soon as he shut it.” She glanced around. “I think I’m stuck here, but I’d like to take a look around.”
“Okay, I’ll call your mom to . . .”
“No!” Vicki exclaimed. “Aunt Piper, don’t hang up. What if once you hang up I can’t contact you, again.”
“Then, I’ll use a cell phone to call her.”
“This is her cell phone,” Vicki informed her.
“Does your dad have one?”
“Yeah.”
“Then, I’ll call Andy,” Piper decided. “I’ll use one of the cell phones around here and I will call your dad so I can tell everyone what’s happened to you.”
“Okay, I’m going to explore and see what I can find out,” Vicki told her. “Would you put me on speaker, so you can hear me when I’ve found something.” She walked away from the room where her family was, right through the outline of a wall. With a gulp she found that all around her children gathered. “There’s so many children here,” Vicki commented as she walked along.
