Mary Kendall, A Ghost Story

Bekka is adding the final touches to the living space when Layla returns home and marches straight to the fireplace.
She throws another log on the fire and soon the fire is burning bright, roaring with heat enveloping the room. “It’s colder than a witches…”
“Layla! Don’t say it!" interrupts Bekka with a laugh.
“I was going to say heart.” Layla grins at her.
“How you people endure this wintry weather several months out of the year I will never understand! The room feels better with a little more heat.” She glances around the room. “You did a marvelous job, Bekka. The room looks extremely comfortable and cozy.

Damien and Mary have finished their snacks and are enjoying a drink when Damien receives a text from Jamie. He stands up and pulls his cell out of his pocket. ‘I will be back in town in about 30 minutes. Lee will be teleporting me as he will not fly. He feels this is urgent anyway. I’m sorry bro. I hate to mess up your plans but we must talk and it is critical you and Mary meet us at the house.’
Damien explains to Mary and she teleports them home.

Bekka’s cell pings with a text alert. She has set a distinctive tone for Jamie and knows it is from him. She takes her phone out and reads the message with concern. 'On my way home in about 30 minutes. Will be teleporting in with Lee. Can you stay at the house? I need you to be there, please. Will explain later.’

Bekka and Layla turn and greet Damien and Mary as they teleport into the entryway.
“Have you heard from Jamie?” Damien asks Bekka with a look of apprehension on his face.
“I just got a text telling me he is teleporting here with Lee. He asked me to stay. Did he explain to you why?”
“No, he just apologized for messing up our plans. He said it was urgent that Mary and I be here.”

They sit in the living room to await Jamie and Lee’s arrival. Mary compliments Bekka on the room. “Thank you. I'm still waiting for some of the lights to arrive. I can rearrange it if you would prefer a different arrangement.”
“This is perfect. I love the chairs in front of the windows. It will be a pleasant reading area and be warm from the sun shining in the windows.”
https://live.staticflickr.com/65535/51207842679_9e52042bcc_o.jpg
Jamie and Lee arrive at the entryway with a whoosh and clatter as their feet contact the floor. “Thanks Lee, that was a rush!”
“You transmitted excellent images to me, so we could arrive safely.”
Jamie sets his and Lee’s bags out of the way as the others come from the living room to greet them. Jamie immediately seeks out Bekka and she is standing in the living room watching him. He waves her forward and she hurries to him. He pulls her into his arms and kisses her soundly in front of everyone. She blushes prettily as he keeps his arm around her making sure she knows he is not hiding his feelings for her anymore.

Jamie introduces Lee Jun-fan to Mary and Damien, Bekka and lastly to Layla. Lee inclines his head to each acknowledging the introductions. “It is a pleasure to meet each of you under these puzzling circumstances. I look forward to assisting Mrs. Navarro to a much more favorable outcome than she has experienced over the years.”
Mary urges everyone to have a seat.
Bekka offers to go to the kitchen and cook while they talk.
Damien smiles at Bekka who is still wrapped in Jamie’s arm. “It looks like to me you are part of the family now. Please sit with us.”
Bekka blushes again, nods her head and walks with Jamie to sit down.
Layla offers to go upstairs and leave them to talk.
“Oracle, it is imperative you remain if it pleases the others.” Lee looks at Mary and Damien.
Damien nods. “Yes, of course you can stay Layla. You are part of this.”

Once everyone is seated, Jamie explains he shared Mary’s prophecy with Lee at his request. “He felt the prophecy would help him understand just what we are dealing with. I still had the recording, so I played it several times and he transcribed it as well. Lee has some interesting insight on the prophecy that we had not considered.” Jamie plays the recording. “Pay attention to Layla’s voice, her tone and when it changes and then goes back to normal.”
“Play it once more.” Damien requests.
Damien nods his head while listening. “Her voice is stronger and more forceful talking about winter and death.”
“Yes, that is exactly what Lee pointed out when he had me play it and listen carefully. I think Lee can discuss this next part better than me. Lee if you don't mind explaining to them."

Lee explains his theory to the group. “I studied the prophecy for several hours. I’m convinced Mary must return to the netherworld during winter to be reborn in spring. Jamie has advised me about the scientific research done on Mary. The Fates played games with her soul, so she is neither completely ghost nor fully human. She must return or 'die' during winter to be reborn in spring. If Mary waits for the Fates to take her at the spring equinox, I’m afraid she will not come back until next winter. It won't matter what we attempt. It is equally possible we could cause more harm attempting to bring her back without a winter death. The prophecy is clear on death in winter and spring represents the time of birth for Mary. The decision must be made before midnight tomorrow, or it will be too late this year. I can assist Mary with her transition and also preserve her soul. She must possess her soul to be reborn. It will only take a few minutes, so we can do it whenever you are prepared. Mary, it is up to you and of course Damien as your mate to make this decision."

Layla watches Lee while he explains his theory. She is surprised he detected changes in her voice as she understands from others she is usually quite rote and almost zombie-like when speaking the words of the Fates. When she heard her voice on the recorder though, she definitely heard the emphasis as well. Perhaps she should record all her sessions from now on. She always has perfect recall of the words but perhaps the inflections are not present with repetition.
“I know interpretation of the Fates words can be incredibly difficult, and each who listens can come up with an alternative interpretation. I think this is an eminently sensible interpretation. As you know, the Fates do not impart wisdom to me to interpret accurately. I am only the vessel that speaks for them.

“Thank you, Oracle.” Lee inclines his head to her in acknowledgement of her comments. “I know this is a lot to take in and of course I am a stranger so why should you trust me? Please ask me whatever questions you will, and I will answer to the best of my ability.”
https://live.staticflickr.com/65535/51206361852_d27ebabf2b_o.jpg
Mary listened carefully to Lee’s explanation, and it made sense to her. She is feeling more hopeful than ever that Lee will be capable to bring her back if they abide by his interpretation. She has always been terrified the few days before spring and generally spent them hiding in the attic. She had no reason to hide this year and spent every minute with Damien that she could. If departing a day early will enable her to come back in spring she is all for that.
Damien listened to Lee with growing fear that they could have potentially harmed Mary. Lee seems to be sure that if she goes back during the winter he can safely return her in spring. All he desires is Mary to be safe. He looks over at Mary who seems deep in thought.
She reaches out and takes Damien's hands as he is looking unsettled. She squeezes his hands tightly, and he looks in her eyes. That extraordinary ability they possess to communicate silently with each other allows him to know she is ok with this. He presses his lips to her forehead and nods, taking strength from her and agreeing with her decision. They must trust Lee.
