“Oui… That’s French for ‘yes’, right?”
Liz nodded.
“Okay…” Kaye continued excitedly, “Spirit, are you anywhere near us now?”
Liz felt cold beads of sweat on her forehead as the curtains drifted from the cold breeze that brushed through them.
“Aren’t you gonna sleep yet?” Rai, who has been watching silently by the door, asked. Her forehead creased a little as Liz glanced nervously at her, “I’m still not comfortable about the Ouija idea, guys.”
Kaye just shushed while Liz kept mum.
“Okay, I’m going. Just call me when they arrive” Rai hung her shoulders and walked away to the other room.
The planchette started to move around to the YES spot on the board. Liz closed her eyes and tried not to listen to her friend’s next question. Silence went on for a short while until…
“Spirit, could you give us a sign that you’re around?”
“Kaye!” Liz almost shouted, “Are you out of your mind?”
“Put your fingers back here and keep quiet.” Kaye hissed, “It’s just for fun’s sake, okay?”
Liz shook her head and prepared to stand up when she saw that the planchette had failed to answer and had not moved an inch. But after a while, it nudged.
Kaye held her breath, “I felt it shake…” She looked up shakily at her friend’s wanning face.
Liz felt her hands turning clammy, “Look, let’s stop this.”
Kaye hesitantly stirred away from the board when the candle they had set earlier to light the room suddenly went out.
