Chương 40: Back From the Dead

"How exactly did you possess him? Was it because of fear? Can you get riled up again?" Ein tried to find a solution, pacing back and forth. 

Hale's expression shifted from confusion to a hint of a teasing smirk. "How about Ouija board?"

"You know, I'm really starting to think this whole thing is getting out of hand," Adriel murmured.

"Yeah? You think?" Ein shot back, his sarcasm sharp. 

A sudden chill shot through the room like a ripple on still water, causing both of them to pause.
