“What are we supposed to do?”
“I don’t know.” I lifted my shoulder. “But if I can find you in this life, then I’m sure I can find you in the spirit world.” I gave them a sad smile. “I have only had my friend Cass in my life, and she is my soul sister. I knew as soon as we met, we were meant to. I need you guys to know that you two…I felt the same way about. As soon as you sat next to me in the cafeteria, I knew I met you. To be friends with you. We were connected as soon as you down and decided to be my friend. Connected in a way that is soul deep.” The two nodded.
“Our wolves work together.” Toya closed her eyes and when she opened them, her wolf was there. “You are my luna.” I reeled back at that confession.
“I can’t be. You are a luna in your own right.”
“ And yet, if you asked, I would follow you into the wilds and never return.” Her wolf faded from her eyes and I could see the recognition in her eyes. “I agree with her.”
“As do L” I looked to Wendy to find Wyn staring back at me. “You are my luna, my alpha , my friend,” Wyn faded away, leaving both of my friends staring at me and me floundering at what to say. “We know where we stand, Amy.”
“ And I think we know what to do.” Toya sat on, y left, and Wendy on my right. “You can start now. We will bright you back.” 2
I settled and pulled the metal bowl closer. “Okay.”
“Wait!” Wendy jumped up and ran to the kitchen, leaving the two of us confused. She came back with a plate, leaving me even more confused. “For the candles to sit on.” She offered it as she settled back down next to me.
“Okay…” I put the plate behind the bowl. Wendy took an extra candle from the box and lit it. She dropped a few drops of melted wax onto the plate and used it to secure the white, black , and purple candles in place.
“Now they won’t move , and won’t drip wax onto the floor. She waved her hand and I wanted to smack myself.
“You think of everything, Wendy.” Toya smiled wide at her and I could see a faint blush rise to her cheeks. Interesting. 2
But I turned my mind back to the matter on hand . “Okay. Let’s start.” I lit the candles and used their flames to char some herbs. I ripped a few pieces of paper up and threw it into the bowl with the charred and burning herbs, lighting the pages. “Everything is in.”
“Are you
ready?” I took a few cleansing breaths, taking in the smells of the herbs, and I thought of something. Can you quickly grab me a small glass of water?”
Toya nodded and jumped up. She came back with the glass and I dumped some sea salt into it, and added about half the bottle of the distilled water. “What are you doing?
I drank the salty water and shivered as my body tried to reject it. “ Sea salt helps to purify, so I figured why not drink a glass to help purify my body from everything.” I shrugged. “It can’t hurt.” I added a few springs of herbs. Into the bowl and closed my eyes. “Ifta nota wal spiritian flo sta bint tor fa shen . ” I dropped the last thing into the bowl, a few leaves of basil, and opened my eyes. “Agin torn thista dor.” I repeated the words three times and waited. And waited.
I looked around and realized nothing was happening. Something must have gone wrong. I shook my head and turned to Toya to find her staring at me. “It’s not working. I stood up in a huff. I stepped over the altar and turned, hands on my hips. “I don’t know what I did wrong.

But Toya and Wendy were still staring at me. My body was exactly where I left it. My hands were open on my knees and my eyes were closed. But I was in front of the bowl on the ground.
I did it. I had separated from my body, and now I was waling around as just my spirit.
“Focus on the task at hand, girlie.” I turned to find my grandmother sitting in my chair.
a.” I rushed over and she smiled. She stood and cupped my cheeks and for the first
time, I could feel her.
feel you.” I launched myself into her arms, feeling her soul pressed against my own.
“Focus, or else you will lose you tie to the living.” She gave me a quick hug and pressed her lips to my forehead. ” Don’t let the spirit world call you too far from the path.” She turned me back to my body. “Follow the power.”
“I stared at myself and realized there was a thin black chain that shot into my chest. “Save you wolves, or die.”
