"Of course, my mistake."She wants to be called Mandy."Rita's voice was heard for the first time. "I'm playing devil's advocate here."Do we want someone with such diminished mental abilities to have this kind of power?"Kay didn't answer back immediately. "Alexandra, a priestess here, brought up the same question, so.

I shivered because it had turned cooler and the wind was up. I quickly swam for the shore. Then, gathering my stuff, I headed for the Lodge. I scanned as I walked, but sensed no apparent danger anywhere.The girls were all still in Liz and Catherine's room, emotions calmer, but still buzzing.
