up and realize I’ve been having weird dreams or learn that nothing is normal in Kings Mill, Maryland.”
April winked at him. “You have no idea just how right you are, Camden.”
He wasn’t quite sure about which statement, but he was about to find out.

Tonya knew that any time the Wilton Women showed up, things were going to get interesting. The last time, other than family functions, was when she was working on the excavation of the Old Town Tavern and Inn with Millie’s ghost. She’d ended up being part of a paranormal ritual helping the soul of Millie crossover into her exhumed remains, becoming a whole person again.
“What did you do out on the battlefield this afternoon, Tonya?” Vickie asked, settling down with her on the Victorian loveseat. The elderly woman held her hand, not wanting to discipline her but to understand.
“I wanted to connect with an unsettled spirit to see if I might get him to pass over into the light.” She bowed her head.
“And you did this by…meditation?”
“I’d been told a few months ago when I took a ghost tour that you could link with the spirits directly, especially on hallowed ground, by connecting physically with the earth that carried the residual energy in the blood soaked ground. I dug my fingers into the dirt at the Peach Orchard…”
“Did you say anything?”
“I heard the spirit speak. I thought he was mortally wounded. I told him to be at peace, to take my hand, and I would help him to crossover.”
A collective sigh echoed from the women around her…but it wasn’t a refreshing sound. It was one of angst. The look on Dottie’s face and the tapping of her foot as she glared at Vickie told her something wasn’t right.
“See, Victoria, you should’ve told her right from the beginning.”
“Dorothea, if you don’t shut your yap, I’m going to send you out. I didn’t tell her because I didn’t think she was ready to face her gift. She still had too much to learn and understand.”
“And you don’t think bringing Millie to life was enough to prepare her for the truth?”
“Mom. Aunt Vickie. Arguing over the situation is not going to help matters. Tonya needs to know the truth so we can move on to what needs to be done,” Virginia countered. “Just get on with it for all our sakes.”
“Fine,” they said in unison.
Tonya sat on the edge of her seat. What was it she needed to know?
“Tonya dear.” Vickie patted her hand, encouragingly. “I’m so sorry. I should’ve told you sooner to prepare you for the acceptance of your unique gift.” She looked up at Dottie and back to Tonya. “We realized during your ordeal with Millie that you carried a stronger energy than just being a random vessel for lost souls. I’ve been researching through my group the possibilities you possess an energy greater than being a simple medium…you are the energy force spirits need to survive.”
“What?” Looking around at everyone, she hoped someone might have an easier definition.
“I’m not sure if we understand it all quite right. All I know is you don’t have to perform any sort of ritual to connect to the spirit world. They are attracted to your energy on a natural level and can pull you to them without knowing they’re doing so. I’m afraid what you did today was a bit of overkill. Your effort to connect, well… Let’s just say the energy between Jared and you were parallel in strength, causing him to cross over, not into the light but into your light, by taking your hand.”
Tonya tried to make a connection to what Vickie was saying. “Is that what happened with April and James when they met?”
“Possibly. With April’s gift of psychometry, there is a similar energy field…though your aura and hers are a bit different in patterns. That could be why. There is still so much we don’t know about the metaphysical world and its energies surrounding us.”
“Is she safe working with him in this world?” April asked. “Would
