Chapter 7: The ritual of purification and protection
Girls woke up wetter then they had been when they went to sleep but luckily there were no leaks. Bethany then recalled the events of last night that Abi said she saw In dreams and no w the shock had warn off she had some thoughts to share with Abi.
Hey Abi were you serious about those weird dreams last night?
Abi nods solemnly, Bethany frowns,
Well I dont think you should be having those dreams they are horrible perhaps my mummy will be able to help you get rid of the awful dreams or at least find out the cause of it. I think my mummy can help you but you have to let me tell her or she wont be able to help you at all okay?
Hey Bethany id rather tell her myself if thats okay when I feel ready, I dont want you to tell her or anyone else please.
Okay I understand shall we get out of this wet diapers and go have breakfast then Abi
Abis tummy rumbles.
Yeah lets im starving.
The two girls help each other out of their wet soggy diapers and Abi although she dont need them decides she wanted to wear a pull-up like Bethany so she didnt have to go potty when they were playing.
Then they each had their time in the bathroom cos Lexi was still asleep, it was only just after dawn.
The girls went down stairs expecting Marina to still be in bed. As it happened she was up already and Abi and Beth were invited to sit down and have jammy ready break. Marina smiled and laughed
Morning girls, you two are up early did you both sleep well?
Abi stayed silent stirring her ready break it was obvious something was troubling her.
Whats wrong Abi are you okay? Marina asked in a concerned tone
Abi replies immediately
im having these horrible nightmares marina , I sees some things a horrible women did to people many years ago and the womens keep visiting me in dramas and begging me to free here but I darent not after what she did am I loosing my mind Marina?
Marina hugs Abi close to her chest because she is crying now
No sweetie you arent loosing your mind you just need some help to get the images out of your mind, btw who was the women Abi if you dont mind me asking?
Abi cries out in anguish
Shes my mummy who died just after my sister was born. Please help me block her out marina she is driving me crazy, some nights I scared to sleep, thinking of what dreams she will send me next, shes called Morgana
Abi is becoming hysterical and cant speak any more. Bethany tries to help but Abi just pushes her away
Marina grabs Abi’s arms and makes eye contact
She says in a slightly hypnotic voice
Abigail look at me, dont look away, keep looking into my eyes listen to my voice, allow it to fill your mind, listen to me,
The troubled child slowly relaxes and stares deeply into Marinas soft green eyes.
Marina begins a spell:
Morgana mother of Abigail Brightwaters
End this torment of your daughter
Leave her be
She is not like thee
Now be purged from your daughters thoughts
The Earth Mother Shadira commands it to be so!
With those marinas eyes turn gold and Abi feels a dark influence leave her mind.
Its okay Abi youre save now, your safe here. Now rest and be at peace, Morgana wont trouble you for a long time.
Abi feels exhausted and bone weary all of a sudden slumps in Marians arms her rest was now the most important thing.
While Abi sleeps marina and her two daughters are preparing the ritual of protection form evil spirits for Abi then marina plans to teach her defences. For she knew Morgana was far more then just a dark witch, she was
A true dark witch or Bavanshee
A witch whose very soul has been consumed and twisted by the dark magic they used till they became almost pure evil. The true dark witches also lived one after death to torment and weaken before steeling the life force of victims and could live for centuries.
One the ritual was ready they brought Abi into a circle then closed it behind them, each white witch had a wand fro ma different tree, chanting word in a language ancient even to the Celtic druids they were descended from, they encircled the sleeping girl holding hands an went round her 3 times clockwise three times anti clockwise, then they each touched a different part of Abis naked body with their wands her fore head to protect the mind, her heart to protect her soul ,and her neither regions to protect her body. They did this three times till all three wands had touched all three areas till finally Abi was ready. They woke her up and the first think she noticed was she was naked,
Second thing was Bethanys family were all around her an d thirdly she had to pee really badly .she went bright red with embarrassment and covered herself and Bethany came forward and gave her a white robe which Bethany then helped her into then they took Abi to the sacred pool in the attic where the ritual was held and told her to go in and fully submerge herself in the healing waters to complete the protection ritual. Marina told her not to take off her robe.
She did as she was told and to her surprise found the water to be warm and very refreshing.
Then marina brought her out and kissed her on the forehead, and then Lexi did the same as did Bethany.
Abi felt wonderful, like she had not been this content and happy for years. In her mind there was not trace of the Morgana, there were no nagging doubts or uncertainties, she was almost euphoric, and she was so content that she didnt even notice the pleasant warmth spreading into the thick built in panty padding which absorbed most of it but not all of it. A wet patch spread on the robe and down her legs onto the floor. This was done in plain sight of the whole Rowan family
