Chapter 9
Miguel: Ahh there's the door bell thats him be right back..
Miguel: Carlos! Am I glad to see ya! Did you have difficulty finding the property?
Carlos: No not too much.....
Miguel: Well....it's kind of isolated out here so there are not too many houses it can be confused with.
Carlos: I noticed the terrain is very overgrown it will take us awhile to clear.
Miguel: Yeah it's pretty bad there is also an overgrown vineyard which is soppose to be restored that is where I have started to clear.
Miguel: Where are your things Carlos?
Carlos: I have a bag outside.
Miguel: Well my sister and girlfriend will prepare a room for you in awhile they have to go together they are sort of spooked in this old house it's apparently haunted.
Carlos: Haunted?
Miguel: Yeah long story come have some coffee and cake with us in the kitchen you can meet the girls..
Miguel: Marianna, Teresa....meet Carlos he will be staying awhile to help me clear the land.
Teresa, Marianna: Hi!
Miguel: I was just telling Carlos about our nasty ghosts...
Carlos: I am very interested please tell me.......
Miguel told Carlos the condensed version of the haunt....without the nasty incubus details he was unaware of.......
Carlos: Hmm...you say your priest is unwilling to banish this spirit? Why don't I get rid of it for you?
Marianna: Carlos you know how to get rid of it?
Carlos: Well yes I was trained by my Grandfather he was what you spanish folks would call a Brujo or sorcerer he taught me how to master naughty spirits.
Teresa: There are many spirits here Carlos how will you do this?
Carlos: My bet there is only one that shapeshifts to whatever image is most frightening to each person it wants to torment.
Teresa: Why is it doing this?
Carlos: It has connected to the property because of some defect in it's thinking it views anyone living or dead as it's enemy in its madness it has aquired abilities not usually found in a human spirit which classify it as a demon in the Christian religion.
Teresa: How will you banish it?
Carlos: I will go to its realm and kill it so to speak.....I have the ability with certain herbs to leave my body and walk within it's realm there I have allies which assist me to do what I want.
Carlos: What I do is somewhat dangerous I will need you to participate if you want me to do it.
Miguel: Well if you can get rid of this spirit or demon we will all do what we must to help you.
Carlos: Good we get rid of it this evening after work then.
Clearing the land was backbreaking work Miguel and Carlos did the heavy clearing and Teresa and Marianna harvested some of the fruit on the nearby trees...
Marianna: Teresa I will finish watering the vegetables and you start picking the apples ok?
I hope there are no snakes here ugh.....
Marianna: Teresa? you are not listening to a word I say you are too busy checking out Carlos aren't you?
Teresa: Don't be ridiculous Marianna I am just taking a break it's hot out here!
Marianna: Don't be angry Teresa he is very goodlooking...and I saw him staring at you so maybe....it's a mutual crush?
Teresa: Come on if Carlos is going to get rid of these ghosts we have to hurry..
Teresa: Miguel....Marianna and I finished our part hurry so we can have a quick dinner and Carlos can start this before dark.
Miguel: Ok one more hour you go ahead and start dinner then...
