    Author Notes:

    “I tried to explain to Bette,” Kit had said, “that the chindi are real, that they were angry we’d disturbed them, that they were tormenting her friend. But Bette didn’t want to hear me.” Kit looked down into her cup of broth. “Only Katie accepted the truth. The others do not observe the ways of

    “I tried to explain to Bette,” Kit had said, “that the chindi are real, that they were angry we’d disturbed them, that they were tormenting her friend. But Bette didn’t want to hear me.” Kit looked down into her cup of broth. “Only Katie accepted the truth. The others do not observe the ways of their people.”

    “Not even Harlan?” Tina had asked.

    With this, Kit had looked long into the fire. “I love him as I would a brother. He’s been through so much and I want more than anything to help him. But lately, in this last year since Bette has returned to us, I have watched him drift farther from the path, from the Beauty Way toward the dark wind.”

    Kit had put her hand on Tina’s, looked her steadily in the eyes. “I believe you. I believe something attacked you in the shower room, that you saw something on the monitor. For this reason, I want you to stay close to one of us…to me, to Bette, to Katie. Don’t go about here alone.”

    Tina had nodded, comforted some by Kit’s touch and kind eyes, relieved that the earlier bristliness between them had vanished.

    “Thank you,” she’d said.

    After a long pause of silence with them sipping their broth, Kit had asked, “What did she look like, this girl you saw?”

    Tina had not wanted to remember the image, but she did her best to describe it despite her discomfort. “She looked sad, standing off to the side as the camera panned. At first, I thought it must be Rita or Katie accidently getting in the shot, but then I realized she was dressed differently, had her hair styled differently. And then she was looking right at the camera, her face growing larger as her eyes”—Tina hung her head—“her eyes turned into flames.”

    Kit had taken a long deep breath and gazed into the fire. Finally, she’d asked, “What do you mean, she looked differently?”

    “Her dress was long, blue velvet, I think, and her hair was like your grandmother’s— pulled back,” Tina had said.

    Kit had nodded and spoken a word in Navajo, then had said, “It is our traditional way to wear our hair, both men and women. Each strand of yarn, the folding of the hair…for us it is a spiritual practice, part of our identity.” Then she’d frowned and shook her head. “But Grandmother told us the white teachers would not allow any of the girls to wear the traditional hair bun, neither would they allow them their traditional dress. They were forced to dress and groom themselves as white children.” She’d looked at Tina and smiled sadly. “More than their innocence was stripped from them.”

    1. It’s the luck of the Irish this weekend! Looky here…ya’ll got a new story form CellaNox and an update from me! It’s a CellMac weekend, or maybe a BenNox one…I dunno! :)~

      Here’s the second to last chapter…a long one since I pulled a bit off the front of chapter 8 (the final next week) to make up for not posting last week.

      I figure most of you got this all worked out, but I can guarantee you that you’ll be surprised by one twist to be revealed next chapter.

      Getting so excited to see the climax!!

      Yeah!

    4. Well, that is going to be some last chapter, isn’t it? Wow. That is really hell breaking loose! That last image of Ryan will stay with me for awhile. It’s nearly midnight over here, there is no way I can go to sleep now – I better go looking for something light to read to get distracted.
      Reading the despription of Harlan’s face changing or morphing I had to think of the Polyjuce Potion from Harry Potter ;)
      Thanks for posting, BenMac, can’t wait for your finale furioso! I just hope that Tina will live.

    6. I posted this reply already, but after editing some typos my reply was gone – sorry if you see this twice:

    7. So, he’s coming for Tina and i hope Bette could save her.

      But i don’t understand one thing – if he it’s Harlan and he wants only some sort of revenge – why he not tried to kill Tina while he was driving with her to the the shooting? They were alone in his car and it was not hard for him.

    8. Hi BM:

      OMG, that was strong, very intense. ????

      Poor Alice, poor Doyle and now poor Tina, I hope she will escape.
      I suspected it was some kind of generational curse; it goes in many ancient cultures “the consequences of sins that we inherited from the parents”. ????

      Now I’m worried about Tina. So, Harlan was fleeing because he was “changing” maybe into something no human. ????

      Maybe Doyle wasn’t really trapped but abducted and killed in another place. As Harlan said in the former chapter “They have him now.” ????

      But Harlan is not innocent, he brought them there to die, and now “they” are playing with Tina.????

      I just could hope Tina will survive and I join BnTinmyhead’s wishes and comment from the last chapter “they have to survive this place in order for Tina to get those fingers where she wants them”????

      Thanks, BM, very nice chapter. I’ll wait anxiously the conclusion ????

      P

    9. Hey BM (a.k.a., fellow pea in a pod). I was much smarter this time and read with all the lights on and music playing in the background. I’m sure glad I did because you were right, this %@#$ just got real.

      So many moving pieces, rolling at a fast clip, yet I had a clear picture of everything going on. Great job pulling that off.

      p.s., I kinda like CellaMac weekend, though you do deserve top billing. (Picture me bowing…I’m not worthy)

    10. My reply from last night got lost somehow, so here’ another try:

      BenMac, that is going to be some last chapter, isn’t it? Wow. That really is all hell breaking loose!
      Your last picture of a dead Ryan stayed in my mind for some time before I fell asleep last night. Well, it wasn’t the brightest idea to read the chapter just before going to bed around midnight.
      I tried to distract myself by thinking of Harlan’s face changing or morphing – that made me think of the Polyjuice Potion from Harry Potter ;-)

      Thanks for posting, BenMac, can’t wait for your finale furioso! I jsut hope that Tina and Bette will live.

    12. Glad I finished this during the day! The strategically placed walkie-talkie was a nice touch.

      Zhenya brings up an interesting point in that Harlan had an opportunity to sacrifice Tina when she first arrived; especially in light of the fact that no one was expecting her.

      I assume the goal of this vengeance is to rid the earth of the bloodline that caused the school tragedy. Can’t wait to find out the additional twist though!

      Excellent as always, my friend.

      Xoxo

    15. Hi BenMac,

      Fantastic update!

      I told you i usually don’t read scary stories or movies, but so far i don’t get nightmares ???? , but you do a fantastic job to scare the shit out of me.

      Sad to read that it only have one more chapter .

      Looking forward to the last chapter!

    16. Hi BenMac,

      What a Fest of Great reading you have lead. Have loved reading BenNox and eagerly await your next posting. Additionally I have my favourite Pie back to accompany my favourite Cuppas.
      A new story promised too so that’s something to look forward too.
      Thank you as usual look forward to more.

    17. Harlan is going to “hell” with a very loud bang when he does leave this world, he has a lot to answer for, killing innocent people for revenge that had nothing whatsoever to do with the past, just an accident of birth. Sure hope you let Tina escape his wrath. Does Kit still have the rifle, they are sure going to need it to take him out with because he is still there, he never left. He is toying with Tina, hope everyone stays together and not leave her alone because he is very close by just waiting for an opportunity to kill her. I felt like he spiked that tea he gave her on the drive in with something to have her hallucinating, etc. Gosh, he is as crazy as a betsy bug to have planned all this. Didn’t he think all these killings would drive Bette crazy as hell with guilt over their deaths and worry Kit as well. I hope you will explain as much as you can about the shape shifting etc. That was him, at least his hand that Tina saw in that dark corner when she picked up the basketball and heard voices. OMG., oh please don’t let him kill her. GoodLord BenMac, how in the name of all thats holy do you sleep after writing all this stuff and having it in your head? I just heard some kind of noise outside and it scared the sh out of me. Merciful heavens!!!!! Thanks for the update, I think. One chapter left, I bet it will be a doozy!!!.

    18. Ok finally found time to finish reading this great chapter..sad to see it’s all most over…. lots of twists and turns already..cant wait to see what else could hapoen.. but also need to read more about those fingers..lol and it seems I’m not the only one..lol
