Beyond Karma was a jumble of archaic occult objects and strange memorabilia. There were things in the store that a magician would love, but also an antique art dealer would have a field day with the place. There were books of all ages and condition lining the walls. There were crystals and voodoo dolls and strange bundles of tied sticks. The store smelled strongly of incense, and it irritated Angela’s nose, but it got better the longer you were in it. Angela walked up to the long counter toward the back wall. It’s clear glass outside showed off ancient tomes and various items of interest. There was even a jar with a two-headed pig fetus in one of the cases. On top of the counter was a bell. She rang it. It didn’t take long, and Viviana Talbot …show more content…
“I do,” Angela said. “I found some journal entries my sister wrote, and she says she was scared, but some of them don't make sense.” “You do know what sort of house you’re living in, don’t you?” Viviana asked. “Surely you’ve seen things. Heard things.” Angela thought for a moment about lying, but knew the woman across from her would sense it immediately. “Yeah. I heard my sister. I was upstairs, and at first wanted to pass it off as a hallucination, but I heard Lil’s voice. She was saying ‘Angie. Help me.’ It was her. I know it was.” She shivered and hugged herself to stifle the goose bumps rising on her arms. Thinking about it gave her chills. “You do think it was her?” “I have no doubt the spirits in that abode are restless. This town is full of wandering lost, but where you live is a darkness.” Viviana looked directly at Angela. “You haven’t told me everything, though, have you?” the psychic woman said. Angela shook her head. “No, I haven’t. There’s the basement. The place where it all happened. And ever since Lil died, I’ve had it boarded up. But recently, there have been sounds.” “Sounds?” Viviana asked. “Like voices, or …show more content…
“No mention of a dark-haired girl? A teenager?” “No.” The description of the teenager pulled at something in her subconscious. “Who is the girl?” “I’ll tell you what I can in a moment,” Viviana said, changing tack. “You want to talk to Lillian badly, don’t you?” Angela nodded her head. “There is a certain amount of danger to this, I won’t lie. Communicating with the dead always has its risks. They lie. They trick. Sometimes who you call isn’t the one who answers. And some questions you wish you knew the answers to, you find you didn’t want to know at all.” Angela nodded and sat up a little straighter. “I understand. This is something I have to do. Not only for me, but for finding justice for Lil.” “Sometimes that’s all any of us want, is justice,” Viviana said. “This is what we’re going to do. I’m going to show you a way into that other world. However, once you’re there, I can’t help you. You’re on your own. I have gifts that can help me to help you, but otherwise my talents are futile." “Why are they futile?" Angela asked. “Can’t you communicate with the dead? Don’t you have experience doing this?” Viviana glanced away before looking back at Angela, and her face was dark again. “Because what’s in that house now isn’t just dead.” Viviana said gravely. “It’s pure
“Definitely not. The castle is a den of rumors, as you well know, and I’ve heard… things. Not that I engage in gossip, but it’s unavoidable. People… talk.”
“I am not too sure,” she said quietly. “I have not been able to examine her or speak to her about that.”
She bit down on the stolen Pink Lady she got from my house and started to talk with a full mouth. “He’ll learn who Tiamara Moore is. One way or another. And why are you talking to him? I told you to stay away from him.”
"Sierra, it's too dangerous at night, if your sister had gotten hurt, no one would have been out there to help her." Jennie said reasonably. "I can't think of it!"
“Then how do you explain all the things that still happen to them now?” Savannah then asked me now sounding implacable.
She reflects on the event she witnessed. “Ingrid would have given a lot to know if one of those
“I need all of the information that you can get on a teenage girl by the name of Eleanor Brooks,” Logan says in a blur
Eugene rose to his feet. “Sure they're over there. We've been watching both the front and the back of her place since before the sun came up.”
“You don’t have to talk. That pale face and haunted look tells me everything I need to know. It’s Joan, isn’t it?”
Five minutes later, Amira called out again. “Sara, I see something in my room. Can you come and look at it? I’m scared.”
“I want her to be safe.” Nick whispered. It wasn’t a lie, but Nick just had a horrible way of going at it. “She’s my friend.”
As each of her friends walked by Angela realized that she never had been asked that truth question and she couldn’t help but wonder if she really would have answered truthfully, had Mary been given the opportunity to ask
To sum it up, it is evident that Transtheoretical Model of change would create positive impacts in regard to transformation of alcohol addicts while helping them to have positive behavioral changes. Transtheoretical theory of change helps a patient to undergo a series of changes over time as they end up their behavior. The ultimate goal of this model is to ensure that any patient has terminated the behavior that compromises their health. The theory is also helpful as it provides an opportunity for a patient to have decisional balance for their behavior while promoting self efficacy at the same time.
Transformational leadership theory creates a positive change in their followers. This type of leadership takes care of the organizational interests and acts in the welfares for overall group as a whole. With this type of leadership, the leader increases the motivation, self-esteem and performance with their team (Kovjanic et al., 2012). Transformational leadership theory exceeds transactional leadership and rather than explaining a set of particular behaviors; it charts a continuing process by which "leaders and followers raise one another to higher levels of morality and motivation" (Antonakis & House, 2014). Transformational leadership theory is based on leadership with morals and significance, and a purpose that exceeds short-term objectives
complete metamorphosis can also be seen as a division of the labor of perpetuating the species, since the larval form basically does nothing but eat, while the adult form has sex and reproduces. It is conjectured that complete metamorphosis evolved from incomplete metamorphosis, as a specialization and extension of the embryonic phase of development to produce a larva focused on long-term feeding. An example of this remarkably extreme division of labor and resources is the mosquito, in which the larvae live in water and eat plankton, while the adults fly around sucking blood. It’s the kind of specialization we would expect from two entirely different types of animal—but here it’s all in one. (Pham, L.N. & Schneider, D.S.
