Arielle Immortal Awakening Read Free Page A

made her presence known to me more than I wanted her to. She showed up at the cemetery during one of the spells I did for my father and she has appeared in my room a few times since then. It really scares me to death.” Eva looked at them again, and the fear in her eyes was clear.
    “I don’t mind telling you that I’m completely horrified,” she continued. “I don’t know how to get rid of her or what she wants from me. She just keeps looking at me, full of torment, breathless, suffering…and then at other times she looks completely exultant. I keep asking her to go away and then she does, looking really sad; however, she keeps coming back. I know that I have to reverse the spell, but I’m too scared to try because I’m afraid I may create something even worse. I’ve tried to stay away from the books, but something keeps pulling me back. And I still have this girl showing up. I don’t know what to do!”
    “Oh my God,” Gabrielle gasped. Arielle’s heart was beating fast and she couldn’t find a single word to say. This was simply unbelievable. She couldn’t imagine how Eva’s story could really be true, but she believed her friend. Now she looked directly into Eva’s eyes, forcing a smile.
    “We will try to help you, Eva,” Arielle said. “Maybe you can try to get rid of your visitor by doing the spell while we’re all together. I’m not saying I’m exactly excited about that, but we have to help each other. I also think that you need to stay away from those books and the spells.” Eva nodded in agreement, and kept both of her friends wrapped in her arms.
    “Let’s start by spending more time together,” Arielle said. “By having fun together like we used to do. We can’t help you if we don’t see you.” Eva finally smiled a real smile of gratitude and looked, for the first time in a very long time, truly happy.
    They stayed at the beach for a few more hours and finally decided to head home. As they parted, they agreed to meet later on to go out and have fun. When they left Eva at her door, she was wearing a much brighter face than when they had picked her up, and that made them feel good.
    The film they chose to see that evening was amusing and they had a great time. For a while it almost seemed like the good old days. Eva looked happy, as if a weight had been lifted from her shoulders. She called Arielle when she got home to let her know how much she valued their friendship and how much she loved her and Gabrielle.
    The phone rang again while Arielle was in bed, and this time it was Gabrielle. Arielle was sure that Gabrielle was going to tell her she was freaked out with Eva’s spells and summons, so she was a bit stunned to hear that Gabrielle was actually very intrigued with Eva’s powers. “You’re crazy, Gabby,” she said. “And I really don’t want to talk about any of this tonight.” Before Gabby hung up Arielle said jokingly, “Maybe we should have a séance one of these days.”
    She closed her eyes and thought about all the things Eva had told them. She had to admit that Gabby was right - there was something very fascinating about Eva’s powers. But then a light shiver spread through her body just before she drifted off to sleep.
    They were now into the routine of the school year, and every day Arielle could see Eva feeling better and looking happier. Six weeks had passed and life was getting back to normal. Eva was spending a lot of time with Jack Wallace, and they seemed to really like each other. Gabrielle and Arielle felt it was likely to keep her away from becoming involved with weird spells and summons to the dead. Arielle could see Eva’s thoughts, and these days they were pretty clear. Her relationship with Jack was not a serious one, but it was exactly what Eva needed right now. With Eva spending time with Jack, Gabrielle and Arielle spent a lot of time together. They didn’t seriously care about any of the guys at school. The guy Arielle liked, Stefan
