THE FORBIDDEN GAME PART FIVE THE KILL
Will you look at this stuff? Marie breathed enthralled some of its junk but Ill bet some of its priceless like this she stepped forward and lightly touched a silver bell on a shelf this is Chinese I saw these when daddy was working in Hong Kong you ring them to clear away evil spirits and that that’s a genuine Tibetan prayer wheel and this she lifted a bracelet of agate and gold beads that’s Egyptian kian interrupted
Seven strands see? The number seven was sacred to the Egyptians Shane pointed to the wall and those are Russian icons Shane said nodding at some gold plated pictures very rare very expensive and that’s from the qabalah Bryan said joining in the conversation triumphantly and pointing to a chart on the wall labelled numerical values of the Hebrew alphabet magical Hebrew divination system darcey smiled at Bryan
A lot of this stuff belongs in a museum Marie said darcey was busy trying to breath the room was heavy somehow overloaded oppressive stale air mixed with thick quivering energy magic I guess she thought trying to feel as if she dealt with magical rooms everyday well that’s what we came for its time to start the search she made herself go to her grandfathers desk in her dream created by tristian her grandfathers journal had been lying open on the desk in real life it wasn’t
So convenient there was nothing on the desk but a faded green desk pad maybe on the shelves she said she went to one of the bookcases and tilted her head sideways to read it had been a brown leather bound book and she was sure she would recognise it when she found it she said darting forward she opened it to see her grandfathers heavy black hand writing then looked back at the shelf oh god but there isn’t just one journal there’re three we’ll have to read through them all darcey said
We’ll take turns like you said kian nodded towards the stairs Dee Bryan and marie go up and get some sleep you’re the most tired me and Shane can start reading threw these books we’ll wake you up in a few hours OK said kian darcey slept for three hours on the living room couch she couldn’t face going into one of the bedrooms and then she went downstairs to take her place besides kian and Shane she chewed one of the power bars malt nut she wasn’t hungry and she hated the texture of the protein bar but she knew she need the energy
The journals were strange her grandfather had written everything up with the precision of a scientist but what he was writing about was bizarre and sometimes frightening almost all of it dealt with ways to call up the shadow men the dark angels the shadow men darcey thought known by different names in different ages the aliens the fairy folk the visitors the others the ones who watched from the shadows and who sometimes took people to their own place
Darcey looked up involuntarily at the closet door which stood open and something like a fist clenched in her gut that was where they’d taken him through that portal into the other place the place that existed alongside the human world always there never touching the shadow world her grandfather had called them up because he wanted their power but in the end they’d been to powerful for him a phrase from the journal caught darceys eye walkers between worlds her heart began to pound
As she deciphered the dense black writing around it something illegible and then becoming a walker between the worlds myself if the danger wasn’t so great there are several methods to something else illegible but the one I consider most likely to succeed would be the circle of runes…
Runes darcey whispered the magical alphabet that tristian and her grandfather had used to pierce the veil between worlds she looked at the drawing below the writing kian Shane Ive got it really? Darcey read a little further and her fingers tightened on the leather cover of the book really get the others and get a knife they’d brought marks Swiss army knife we have to carve these runes on a door darcey said then we stain them and say their names to charge them with power and then we open the door
Stain them with what? Shane said suspiciously blood what else? Don’t worry guys Ill take care of it lets use the door to the basement not from the downstairs side from the other side its smooth good for drawing
