The Seance

By: Dark Traveler

Chapter One:Jake(1999)

     "Yes Grandpa G, Yes Yes I WILL"
     "Mom Mom, wake up your having a nightmare" I shook her awake. Dad was  looking at mom now. "Mom what happened, you where yelling for Grandpa G?"
     "Jake in the morning call my parents," My mom said "Honey," she started  talking to my Dad "Honey, you have to get some white candles and incense,"  she then got up and went down stairs.
     "What time is it jake," my dad asked.
     "6:55" I answered "might as well get up". Okay I guess I can skip the  intro. You already know I cant tell you my last name town I live in or state I live in. You also probably already now of the Yeerk invasion on Earth. The
secret war between the Animorphs, (Cassie Rachel Marco Tobais Ax and I)and the Yeerks. The Yeerks craw through the Ear Canal to get to your brian and control you.
     It was a Saturday ,like any other except that I had to call my grandparents to come here tomorrow night because of my moms dream. During breakfast Mom told my Dad and I why see wanted us to do what see asked.
     "Last night, I had a dream," my Mom said "Not like the normal dreams, It was like a message."
     "A message?" Dad asked confused. I was confused too. What was she talking about and what did it have to do with Grandpa G?
     "Yes a message, in this dream Grandpa G came to me and want's me to contact him. He want's the rest of the family to be there to, You two Tom and my parents," She continued "So I want to have a seance. Jake I want you to call my parents and inform Tom, Honey I want you to get some white candles, incense and an incense burner. Okay" She concluded.
     "Sure mom," I answered.
     "Okay I'll go to the store as soon as I can" Dad also answered. After that conversation Dad maid some Pancakes for Breakfast. Then Dad went to the store to get the candles and I called my grandparents and informed Tom. He thought it was a bunch of bull. I agreed with him on that.

Chapter Two:Jake(1999-One day later)

     It was 7:00 on the dot and we were all gathered around a table in the living room. We meaning ,my Mom ,my Dad ,Tom ,my Grandparents ,and I. In the middle of the table was a large white candles shrouded by lighted incense then in scattered places around the room more candles. we were all sitting around holding hands. Then my mom began the seance.
     "Grandpa G, Father to my parents Grandfather to me and Great Grandfather to my children. Let the candles light the way to our house come with a message, come" she said.
     "COME," all of us said at once.
     "Let the smell of incense draw you near, let the smell of flowers and trees draw you here" my Grandmother continued
     "Let the straight of"
     KNOCK KNOCK "Hello" It was Cassie's voice. Then every thing stopped. Everything stopped Cassie, me ,the smoke in the air. Everything. The clock started to move again then Cassie screamed and fell. I ran up to Cassie.
     "Cassie ,oh no Cassie," I yelled. I looked down and Cassie wasn't there it was a girl in a old looking orange dress. This girl was taller older looking and was in differnt clothe.
     "What happined?" mt dad asked. "Who is that and where did Cassie go?" he continued. Tom, my Mom ,Dad ,and Grandparents all got up and suronded the girl. She began to move she got over on her back and choughted. The girl then open her eyes and began to cry.
     "Oh my head where am I?" then she locked eyes on me. "Eric, You are here to!"she got op and hugged me.
     "Hey, who are you, get off" I yelled and gently shoved her away.
     "Eric don't you know me?" she wimpered "Don't you know me it's Kelly" She contiued.
     "Um my name isn't Eric it's Jake, uh Kelly" I said
     "Where did Cassie go?" my mom asked her "and how did you get here?" she asked again.
     "I don't know any Cassie!" then she fanted

Chapter Three:Cassie(????)

     "Ahhhh," I scremed. I was lying face flat in the mud. The mud? How was the mud in Jake's house? I looked up and got my anwser. I wasn't in Jake's house I was in the woods. The new question was 'How did I get in the
woods?'.
     "HEENNN Heeinnn," It was a horse.
     "Hello any one there," Some one yelled out. "Who's there, show yourself."
     "OK I'll come out," I yelled back. I move through some bushes and saw Marco on a horse. "Marco? What are you doing?"
    "Who are you talking to madem?" Marco asked. Then I got a closer look and saw that this guy looked like Marco ,but he was taller had a deeper vouse and gray eyes.
     "Oh sorry you reminded me of a freind. Can you tell me your name?" I replied.
     "You ust be new here, I'm Matthew Harilsmen," He answered. "So welcome to Harilsville" He continued. "I must ask what you are doing in these woods late at night?' Matthew asked.
     "The strnge thing is I really don't know," I answered. "One minute I was in my friend Jake's house then I was here."
    "Your lucky I found you," I said "the witch Kelly Price escaped into these woods" I contiued "Tou could of been shot" He  conclued
     "Well, thank you now could you bring me some where to sleep?" I asked "I don't know how I got to Harilsville, how to get back and I have no money"
     "Do you have a job?"
     "No, Why?"
     "I was thinking you could come and work for us, my family and get paid and have a bed to sleep on" I offered. "Would you like that?"
     "Um, OK" I agreed to go with him to his familes Estate. I got up on is large horse. A black stalion, neetly gromed. "It's a very nice horse"
     "Thank you" he replied.
     We rode Trough a tril then I saw this hughmongous manson. This brick auning in the front over the door and old fasioned windows. Rising above the front was this tall, pounted tower, two to be exact.
     "I that your house?" I asked in aw.
     "Why yes it is" He anwsered back.

Chapter Four:Cassie(????)

     We reached the front door of his house and went in. I walked in and went into shock. It was HUGE!! No not huge Gigantic. Above me was a very big skylight in front of me a pair of large doors. The Floor was pure white
marbal the walls well covered in tan wallpaper. On the other side of the room was a large staircase carpated in red carpet.
     "Um, is something wrong?" Matthew asked.
     "No, it's just I never saw a house like this in my life" I anwsered. "Where is you mom?" I added.
     "Probaily in the parlor room, stay here" I said. Matthew started across the room to the large double doors. He reached the doors and pulled them open revelling a smalled ,but still magnifacent room. In the room there was
a woman sitting in a chair.
     "Mother, I have a girl who would like to work for us," Matthew said. His mom got up and walked tourdes the door. She contiued out the door and looked at me.
     "Hello, I am Jacaliyn Harilsmen, the mistriss of the Harilsmen Estate" She said. "What is your name?" she asked.
     "Cassie, Cassie _______," I anwsered. Jacaliyn looked over me then thought about me.
     "OK Cassie you can work for us, but you should get some new clothe," She said. I looked at Jacaliyn and saw what she was whearing. Her dress was crimson with white sleves. It the dress had a large bottom halve.
     "Matthew, take Cassie to the servent's quarters," Jacaliyn ordered. "I will she you in the morning Cassie" Jacaliyn finished and walked away. Matthew opened a door and went into it, I followed. Everything here was
differn't. Old fashoned, even I know that dress wasn't from 1999. We reached a medium sized room with lots of walls. By each wall was a nightstand/dresser and a bed.
     "You will be staying here Cassie'" He said pointing at the nearest living area. "There is a nice sleeping grown in the drawer" Matthew continued. "Have a nice sleep."
     "Umm Matthew could you tell me what year this is," I asked him
     "It's 1799, how did you forget that," He awnsered. "There is something strange about you, I just can't put my finger on it."
     "Well goodnight," I said. Now something was wrong, How could it be 1799 when I was living in 1999. I sould be in 1999 ,but insted I was 200 years early. How did it happen and how do I get back?

Chapter Five:Rachel(1999)

     RING RING RING. The phone rang down stairs I started walking down when my mom picked up.
     "Rachel! Phone!" My mom yelled.
     "I got it!" I yelled back. I picked up the recever and said "Hello."
     "Rachel, we have a problem, meet me and the others at Tobias' meddow," Jake said with urgentse. He hung up the phone. I put down the recever.
     "Mom! I,m going out!" I yelled. First I went upstairs and got my bag to ,put my outer clothing in. Then I got my morphing suit on. I got outside and begain walking. When I reached the ally way between Hidden Treasear's
Antiques and The Flower Forest I turned and walked down the ally. There was a dumpster filled to the brim with flowers. I went behind it and shed my outer clothe. I stuffed them into my bag then hid it under the dumbster.
Then I begain the morph. I consentrated on the owl morph. First I shrank just shrank. Then I stoped and my face begain to change. My lips and nose melted together and hardened into a beak. Then feather patterns were being drawn over my body. The pattens turned into reality creating feathers all over my body. Then my eyes changed, they grew larger ang adapted to the light of night. Finaly my toes melted together and formed hard talons. Now I was the Owl and I ruled the night.
     I opened my wings and flew. I headed to Tobais' meadow. In the distance I saw another owl.
     < Jake, is that you? > I asked in thought speak
     < No, this is Marco, is that you Cassie? > He asked in return. Of course Marco thought Cassie would think of Jake only.
     < No you dweeb, It's Rachel > I anwsered back. I was almost to Tobais' Meadow ,I saw Ax heading tourds the meadow. 
    < Were almost there, I wonder whats the emergansy? > Marco asked.
     < I don't know, do you think Jake told me and not you! > Oh god he was so anoying. I flared my wings and headed down tourdes the meadow.
     < Ahhh oh Rachel, God you scared me > Tobais yelped. He is a hawk and at night Owls could kill him he has got to be careful.
     "Hi Rachel," Jake said from behind the tree. He was allready demorphed. I begain the demorphing process. First my talons melted together to form toes and feet. The feathers turned back to paterens that dedrew them self from my skin. My bone's crunched back up to form human armes. Then I begain to grow up and up I wen't. Now I was fully my size ,but I still had an Owl head. Finilly my head emerged out of the owl head.
     "Where is Cassie?" I asked when We were all there.
     "That is the big problum," Jake said. "My mon was determined to have a seance to contact Grampa G. We begain then Cassie walked in," He stoped for a moment.
     "So what happined to Cassie?" Marco asked.
     "She screamed and fell. When I wen't to pick her up there was someone else on the flore insted of Cassie?" Jake pickedup again.
     "WHAT? WHAT happend to Cassie?" I yelled "Where is this person. I will kill them if they don't give Cassie back!!" I yelled agian.
     < Rachel calm down Jake has more to tell us > Tobais said.
     "OK, are you calm now?" Jake asked me.
     "Yes" I answered
     "OK now this girl clames I am someone named Eric and we were in love with each other," Jake contiuned. "Her name is Kelly. She has no idea how she got here ether." Jake said. "Ax, have you ever heard of this."
     < No, Prince Jake this is tottaly new to me > Ax replied.
     "Great, this is just great. Cassie is missing some oneis in here place anwe don't know why" Marco said drily. "How are we going to tell her parents this?" Marco contiued.
     "I don't know, I don't know" Jake said. I morphed back to Owl and flew home.

Chapter Six:Kelly Price(1799-1999)

      My name is Kelly. I hade a life like any normal girl. It was normal untill I learnd about my mother. My mother was a witch. She sudduced my Father then after I was boin killed him by magic. She taught me witchcraft and after she died I begain useing witchcraft. I moved to Harilsville. I worked for them and they grew fond of me. I then knew it was time to begin my work.
     "Hello Mr. Harilsmen" I said to the oldest son of the Harilsmens, David.
     "Hello Kelly, you look nice today," David said. I walk into the servents quaters and got my vodoo doll. I wraped a piece of David's clothing around the waste. I took out my needal and begain the prosces.
     "Sound and sight, touch and taste and smell. The sences that I will give efect to" I said then I took the needal and poked the doll with the needial. I saw out the door that David just stoped and held is sholder.
     "Ahh, what is that," He said while cringing. I poked the doll agin in the eye. "OWWW my  eye" Then I poked agian twice."Help me ahhh god," David yeled. Then I did the worst part of the attack for now. The needal went
through the eye then the other. "AHH oh god I can't see I can't see!!!" He yeled.
     "David whats the matter!" I said running out of my quaters.
     "I can't see I'm blind, please get me to a doctor," He said.
     "OK here sit down here I'll get help," I said sitting him down. "Mrs. Harilsmen Mr. Harilsmen, come quickly David is ill!" I yeled up the stair's. "Please hurry he is going blind!" I contiued.
     "Oh my god, Christopher quickly," Mrs. Harilsmen yelled to Mr. Harilsmen.
     "David were coming," Mr. Harilsmen yelled. The two of them ran down the stairs and ran into the parlor.
     "Get me to a hopital quickly I'm blind and I'm in much pain," David said weakly. I wen't into the front hall and took out the doll again. This time he would die. I slightly poked the heart with the neediel. then I heard David cry out in pain. "AHHHH God my heart'" he said breathing hevely. "Huuhhh Huuuhh, it hurts please h  elp mmee" He
cryed. I ran into my quaters and put the doll in an empty drawer.
     "Kelly get some water for David," Jacaliyn Harilsmen told me from the other room.
     "Yes Mrs. Harilsmen," I said. Water wouldn't do any good he was going to die in a few minutes unless I pulled the needail away. That wasent happining. "Here you go Jacaliyn," I said handing her the water.
     "AHHH ga ga gaood b b bye mom dd aa," David Harilsmen droped to the ground lifeless. He dies blind and painfully, just the way I planed.
     Later I forced Jeffrey Calton the sone of Danial Calton and Mary Harilsmen to kill Elizabeth Harilsmen the commit suiside. Then Mary Harilsmen Calton went mad with that fact. Then I was caught accused of witchcraft. I was on trial for a week till the convicted me to hang then be burned. But I broke out of the prison using the help of Eric Dalmon.
     "Kelly just go run ,run into the wood's," Eric told me. So I went into the woods I ran while being hunted. I begain to chant.
     "Away is where I want to be, go not seen. I want to be so far away noone will find me. Lift me spirt up away gone. With my body to," I chanted. Then I triped and screamed. "AAAHHHH" I fell and landed on wood. Wood? how  could there be wood in the forest.
     "Cassie! oh no Cassie," some one yelled. I looked up and saw Eric.
     "Oh Eric," I said then huged him. "I'm so glad to see you!" I said in mid hug. Then he tried to shove me away.
     "Hey, who are you, get off!" He said.
     "Eric don't you know me?" I said "Eric it's me Kelly."
     "UMM my name isn't Eric it's Jake, uh" He said.
     "Where do Cassie go?" a woman asked.
     "I don't know any Cassie!" I yelled then I blacked out.

Chapter Seven:Cassie(1799)

     I layed down in bed thinking. What was happining, how where my parents reacting, what was Jake thinking? Three more questions to be answered. What should I do? There went another question. I needed sleep ,but I just couldn't sleep tonight. Throughout the night I heard bugs and people walking. I closed my eyes.
     My eyelids snaped open. I did get some sleep.
     "Time to wake up you can't sleep late today the new governess is coming today," someone said. "You don't want to get hollored atb your first day!" the same voice said again.
     "Oh...hi um sorry," I anwsered. "My name is Cassie," I told her.
     "I'm Julia, now get up or you will get scolded!" She said and withthat she left my quaters. I got out of bed and looked in the drawer. A plain sky blue dress, that was good enofe for me. I put the dress on and walked out to
the hallway.
     "Hello, I haven't seen you around here" A voice called out. I looked up to see a little girl. "My name is Victoria, are you a new servent?" she called again.
     "Yes a am, I'm Cassie," I said back.
     "My new governess is comming today, Miss Harlian."
     "Oh I heird of that I was spose to do something about that," I said. Later I was told to serve drinks and finger
sandwicthes to Jacquelyn and the  governess. I seved them there drinks ans sandwitches whele they talked. I
also ran some erneds too. By the end of the day I was exased, I quickly fell a sleep.

Chapter Eight:Jake(1999)

     After the meeting Ax and I went to the Chee for help. A chee went in place of Cassie. The Chee also gave me a device to erase there memory of Cassie dissapering. Now to them Kelly is just a new freind of mine. Rachel gave Kelly some new clothe. Today Kelly was whering a purple shirt and overals.
     "So Kelly you claim that you were in 1799 and charged for witchcraft" I said.
     "And you claim that it's 200 years after  and there is know Harilsville," She said right back. " Now where
even on the claims" Kelly  said again.
     "You also say that you arent a witch that only some guy named Eric belived you. You also say I am a striking
resemableance of him," I said.
    "Yes"
     "If you are from 1799 then is it possable that Cassie is in 1799?" I asked
     "It's possable," She said without any emotion at all.
     "Don't you understand! Cassie is more then a freind to me I need to know where see is I need to help her!" I erupted, she diddn't care at all. Then she never knew her. If Cassie was in 1799 then she could be in troble,
serios trobule.

Chapter Nine:Cassie(1799)

     A week went by since I started working. The Governess was a nice ladie. Her name was Niaomi Harlian. I made one friend in that houce, another serveant. Julia.
     "Julia I want to ask you question?"
     "Sure Cassie, What is it?"
     "How come there is a unfinished house on the estate?"
     "One month ago new mother Elizabeth Harilsmen Calton. Her son murdered her then comited suicide. Her husbund then went insane. a very sad story" She anwsered.
     "Oh" I said. Then the door to the patio opened. Matthew came out.
     "Cassie, John hase gottin ill, on;y you and him know where the dinner wine is. Will you please get it for us," Matthew told me.
     "Okay," I got up and went to the kithen. I got the wine and served it. I went outside again to find Julia gone. The night was warm and the sky was filled with stars.
     A perfic night to fly.
     I walked into my quaters and got on the morphing suit thaat went along I was whereing during the crossover. I then began the morph, Owl is what I wanted. Each morph is a surprise ,this time the beak came first. My lps and  nose melted togeter, curved, and hardened into the beak of an Owl.
     "Ahhhh Oh lord! Oh lord Ahhh" Some one screamed. I tured to see Miss Harlian staring then she ran off. I quickly reverced the morph and covered my self up in the sheets of my bed.
     "Cassie ________ you are under arrest for the use of witchcraft!"
