70 Unexpected Gues

"MoRee are you here? MoRee is everything ok?" Not wanting to go into the room fully afraid the doorway will close and she will be trapped. She hears the noise again turning around back to her sitting room. There sits Maureen not Moll.

"Hey Dearie ,sorry for scaring you. I had to make sure you found what you need for your wedding day. Did you get what is in the root cellar?" Aisling's eyes get big she forgot all about the root cellar. Putting her hands on her head she sits down bewildered by everything.

"No ,I completely forgot. I haven't even looked and the wedding is just a week away. Everyone wants to be apart of it. My guest lists keeps growing and I have no s.p.a.ce for anyone. What am I to do?" Covering her face with her hands she wants to just disappear for one day.

"Well now I guess it's a good thing that I found the book you left of notes. That was how I found my way here. No worries child I will help. Just tell me what needs to be done. First things first though. Can I barrow some of your clothes? I have always wanted to try those blue knickers you wear. "

Aisling laughs at her and nods yes . They close the doorway and head upstairs to find Maureen some modern clothes. Maureen looks around Aisling's room.

"Do you mind if I sleep in this room?It used to be mine when we finished the house. I wonder if you found the cubby under the bed." Turning to look at Aisling.

"Wait there is a cubby under the bed? I only ever found the closet filled with dresses. " Aisling starts to move the bed. To look for it . Maureen waves her away. She does a levitation spell and the bed lifts and moves away as if it was a feather. She walks around tapping the floorboards. .h.i.tting each in sequence. A hatch opens up and inside is a s.h.i.+nny black box. Lifting it out she hands it to Aisling.

"This is my gift to you. I picked it up in France before making my way here. I wore it only once while I was there. It goes with the gown you will wear. Go on open it." Aisling opens the box inside is a yellow diamond tiara. With matching earrings and necklace. The stones match the ones on her gown. Looking at Maureen she is speechless.

"This is to beautiful for me. I couldn't possibly wear this. It's yours not mine." Aisling tries to give it back to her. Maureen begins to laugh at her.

"Child I do not know if you remember just because I am here now,but I'm dead in your time. If you look at my will and the will of your grandmother you will find that every thing was left to you. I knew of your coming and arranged everything so that you would be here at this time. I was a very rich woman when I was alive. I hid things for you knowing that you would be the only one to find them. When I placed the protection spells on the house only you could open them. Only you would be the owner. Others might find it unfair but you are my chosen one. You are the heir to everything. " she turns in front of the mirror looking at her reflection. "My my I do look good in these clothes. I hope no one has chosen the lavender dress for your wedding it's my favorite. I would like to wear that one if possible." Aisling looks at her ancestor her eyes s.h.i.+nning with pure happiness.

"Thank you so much for having so much faith in me. "

Maureen takes her hand and drags her from the room.

"Now let's go to the root cellar there are things we need to prepare. " She put the bed back in place and they make their way to the cellar. Once there Maureen finds what she is looking for right away. Behind the mason jars rack is a door. Opening it there are traveling trunks. Pulling them out she opens the smallest one. Inside is a large satin pouch. Handing it to Aisling she continued to dig till she pulls out a leather pouch. Giving that to her as well. She goes to the larger one. Opening it up right on top is what she is looking for. An ornate dish with a small pouch of gems. Taking them out she heads back upstairs.

"We need to cleanse these gems and charge them with moon energy. Each of these gems are from all of the witches from Ingrid to you. They will be sewn into your clothing you have in the satin pouch. They along with my locket will place a barrier between you and Ester. They will also amplify your powers. So that whatever emotion you are feeling it will be a hundred fold. For example if you allow your anger get the best of you. You could destroy an entire city in fire . These gems channel your emotions and magic. Use them wisely do not let negative energy corrupt them or you will fail. " she explains as she is preparing the stones for cleansing. Placing them on the silver dish in the sun to warm them she lights some dried sage. Setting the sage in the center of the gems allowing the smoke to completely cover them. Turning to Aisling "these will need to stay put like this till this time tomorrow. Tonight we will place jars of water for the moon to charge. Then they will be placed in the moon water for a day. After that we will sew them into your clothes. I'm hungry what do you have to eat?" She walks to the cabinets to see what there is for her to eat. Aisling goes to the refrigerator and starts to get food out to fix dinner. Thinking about it she gets out some shrimp,milk and cheese. Going over to the cabinet she gets some pasta out. Aisling begins making Shrimp Alfredo . By the time it's finished Inola and Astila has returned. Salali has been helping Debra with the twins today. She will be back after they get home from work. Astila kisses Aisling on the cheek as she is stirring the food. Maureen walks in and the two stare at her. Wondering how she came to be here.
