you
could wrap around us that will keep her from seeing us?"
    "I only know a few spells. I'm only a cook and
a go- for . She made sure of that." Her bird
tattoos went up and down, "I suppose I could try one. It will feel like we
are walking in a cloud of molasses, but she probably won't be able to see
us."
    "I'm ready! Go for it."
    Embla enjoyed the confidence Gunnar had in her. She
puffed out her chest, took a deep breath and chanted a few words. Immediately a
brown glaze of molasses formed around them, engulfing their entire bodies in
the goo. Gunnar began to walk and he had to push against the molasses. It even
smelled like molasses. He tried to see Embla, but was only able to hear her
voice. "I'm right here beside you," she announced. "Take my
hand. It's not far from here."
    "How will we know if she can
see us or not, Embla?"
    "We will know." The witch giggled.
"We might even end up inside a molasses cookie!"
    Gunnar spoke sternly, "I don't see any humor in
this Embla."
    "Well, I do!" she answered boldly.
"If I make it through this it means you and I are allies, right?" She
squeezed his cold hand.
    "Of course."
    She giggled again. "And you will have to
protect me forever."
    "Only until she is dead," he growled.
    There was a long silence before she said, "But
witches don't die."
    "Oh, yes they do. One only has to know how to
kill them."
    He heard Embla swallow. She knew there were ways…She
just wanted to be sure that HE knew there were ways.
    "Okay, here we are, but you have to move around
in the molasses. I'm pretty sure that she can't see you."
    "Good. But the problem is, I can't see through
this stuff."
    "Oh, sorry." He heard a squeaking noise, as if someone was rubbing something off of a window
pane, and then he had a small window. A huge round building appeared before
him. It was surrounded by oak trees and had two gigantic oak doors in the front
with two brass gargoyle door knockers. "Do I knock?"
    She gasped, "Of course not! I don't think she
can hear us either, but let's not talk, just in case."
    "Good idea," he whispered. He slowly
pulled at the door handle and the door opened into a foyer. Generally, had the
witches been inside, there would be a pile of brooms against the foyer's walls,
but there wasn't even one broom. He opened the second door into a rotunda. He
saw an altar against the far wall and in front was a low platform. He saw her.
She was sprawled out with a black coverlet over her, with one bare foot
exposed. Her golden bronze hair flowed all over the black satin pillow, her
lips the softest supple pink like a baby's cheek. He stood next to the platform
that was her makeshift bed. He glanced at the stained glass windows around the
walls of the rotunda, each one depicting a different witch on a stake being
burned. He spoke softly, "Friends of yours, Embla?"
    Her voiced quivered when she spoke, "Martyrs."
    He reached down to lift Anca off of the platform. He slid his arms under her and heard her murmur in her
sleep. He covered her mouth and her eyes popped open in horror. " Shh , it's me," he tried to keep her calm, but she
thrashed wildly in his arms.
    Embla spoke, "She can't see you. She just feels
you lifting her and covering her mouth. We have to go, just bring her into the
molasses! Quickly!"
    Gunnar did as he was told. He pulled Anca into the goo with him and carried her out of the rotunda.
Embla followed closely behind. "Come on, we have to move quickly. I don't
know how long my spell will last, it's just a modified
cookie recipe! Calypso will be onto us!"
    "Can I fly with this spell on me?" he
asked.
    "No harm in trying, but please, can you take me
with you?"
    Gunnar cradled one woman under each arm and heaved
off the ground into the night sky. The moon was as full as it could be. The
stars twinkled as dancing participants in the escape. Anca wriggled and squirmed as he continued to clasp her tightly. He would go to the
only hiding place that he supposed the vampire army would have headed
