On the way to Clara's
house, the rain beats on the car like forgotten memories. Anne Faith said, "We
have to remember what exactly went down in that church. In order to piece all
this together for Aunt Clara and Elijah." Marietta said, "I know, but the
thing is all I remember are bits and pieces. Like that cursed mirror and how
that creep-o Dan tried to make us use it." Anne Faith said, "All I remember is
us almost being sucked into the church's depths and something or someone saved
us." They arrive at Clara's house. Wind chimes trickle in the wind as they
knock on Clara and Elijah's door. After 3 knocks, the door creaks open
slightly. And Elijah said, "Oh… It's nice seeing you girls again… Why are you
here?" Marietta said, "Something's happened, and we needed to talk to our aunty
Clara Elijah."
Elijah said, "That's fine,
we'll come on in, girls; Clara will be right out; she's brushing her teeth.
What's going on now?"
Marietta holds her breath
for a second while Anne Faith feels a chill crawl up her spine, as something on
the kitchen table catches her eye. Anne Faith said, It's cold in here.
Clara came out and said,
"What is that stupid pendant doing here still, Elijah? How many times do I have
to tell you it brings up bad memories?" Elijah said, "Sorry, love, just was
cleaning out the attic and found that old thing, still can't believe… That
pendant almost took me over." Clara said, "Thank God for Mary…" Marietta
interrupted Clara, "What was that name you just wanted to say?" It sounds
familiar. Clara said, "I was saying, Mary…Mary, I'm so glad you're here,
Marietta." Clara gets flustered while trying to remember a name that is on the
tip of her tongue but gone from existence. Dang, what is that name? I can't
remember it, Clara thought. "Anyways," Clara said. "Anne Faith, how are
you and your sister haven't seen you for ages…" Anne Faith said, "Since we were
babies, I know. But we didn't come here for that; we came here so you can tell
us who this jagged cross belongs to. It was in our car?" Marietta pulls out the
jagged cross of Maryanne, and as she does, a cold chill crawls up all their
spines. Marietta said, "Who's cross is this, aunty? We have a feeling whoever
it is, they were really close to our family." Clara saw the cross and
immediately had a flashback to Jesse and Vows ' deaths at St Mary's hospital.
Her heart beats faster, and tears swell up; she snaps. Clara said, "I can't
quite put my finger on whoever it is, but I'll tell you it brought back
memories of my past with Elijah." Elijah said, "Are you sure that's not yours,
girls?" The girls emphatically answer "No." Elijah said, "Then whose could it
be?" Anne Faith pronounced, "Well, we didn't tell you the last thing that
happened to us. There was this guy, Dan, a guy I remember used to stalk us,
too. And he tried to make us use each other." Marietta said, "Yeah, he trapped
my sister and me in the basement, and we barely made it out by the skin of our
teeth; he tried to kill us."
Anne Faith said, "Well,
anyway, we ended up in this old abandoned church with that guy Dan, and this
Mirror that was passed down through our family. Actually, I don't know where
the Mirror came from; all I remember is he held it up and called forth an ancient
creature. Then the church started crumbling into pieces. After we barely made
it out alive"
Anne Faith said, "Marietta
and I prayed, and both saw a vision of 2 different orbs of light. Resting into
an endless tunnel." Marietta said, "We don't remember much more, or any less
than what you're hearing, Aunty Clara."
Clara and Elijah both grin
out of curiosity. Clara said, "Wait, what? You almost died? Where's your moth…
Clara has whiplash from a vision of Elijah drowning in sorrow at Minnie's and
Roman's old apartment. Clara remembered what Elijah had said in his darkest
hour: "Grace, their unborn baby is dead." "I don't know where, or what you
girls are doing here… But it's making me uncomfortable, and quite frankly have
a panic attack." Clara starts breathing heavily and forces Marietta and Anne
Faith out the door quickly. Clara said, "I can't deal with this right now; it's
bringing back bad memories, no… Not on my wedding anniversary, come back when
you remember more." Clara shuts the door on them with an instinctual feeling of
unfinished business and a fading memory of her once beloved sister Maryanne."
