Jameson's Quest Part 2

Waiting is better.  It wasn't right to risk everyone's lives.

Cynthia, I need you here tonight.  I don't want the family to know what we're doing.  Come after everyone has gone home.  I'll ask Sandra to take Connie to our place.

Why?

I have the ring, map, and Aunt Josie's hiding place.  We need to move fast.  He'll know I have everything we need to banish him before he decides to come after us.

I'll be there.

Returning to the women, Jameson could see she hadn't missed much.  A few more self assurances for Sandra and drinks all around.  Everything was winding down for the evening.  Several people got up to leave.

In a hushed whisper, Jameson told Sandra she had better stay at her and Cynthia's place for the evening.  With sad eyes, Sandra nodded.  She didn't want to see another family member die from him, but she couldn't get involved either.

After everyone left, Cynthia appeared at the front door.

Jameson was relieved to see her twin.  "Thank you for coming, we need to get the other part of the map tonight.  He's too close."

"Sis, you know you only need to ask and I'll be with you."

Even though they were identical, Cynthia and Jameson were still fairly different.  Jameson was sporty, but Cynthia had a ballerina's grace.  Cynthia enjoyed meditation while Jameson enjoyed kickboxing. Cynthia enjoyed reading books, and Jameson enjoyed watching movies.  Cynthia could see any future that wasn't her's or Jameson's.  Jameson could levitate objects.

Both could push thoughts into people's heads, which was why they were able to talk without speaking.  Together they were strongest.  Together, they had the best chance at defeating Nazar.

Nazar had been born many centuries ago.  Back when magic wasn't a superstition, it was a part of life.  Nazar had killed many people and recked havoc on many villages across the globe.  Then he met Alexandria and Eva, the last set of Cartwright twins born nearly 500 years ago.   Together the twins took Nazar's talisman and banished him to the netherworld.  But were unable to destroy the talisman.

Nazar waited for his chance to return to Earth.  He knew that while there were no Cartwright twins on Earth, he wouldn't be able to find the talisman.  Alexandria and Eva had made sure of that.  So he waited, patiently.  Waited until he saw Cynthia and Jameson looking for the talisman. 

Jameson and Cynthia walked expectantly toward their childhood bedroom.  Both waiting to feel the energy that would shift before Nazar appeared.  Both knew he wouldn't arrive until after they had located the talisman.  Inside the bedroom, Jameson showed Cynthia the double spacer.

"Why didn't we see this before?  We lived in here.  We searched this whole room."

"Sandra said we weren't meant to until we were ready.  There was a cloak put on it many years ago.  They foresaw Nazar coming back for his talisman.  They had to protect it's location."

"We better seal the room, before we go up there."

Both women drew their wands.  They made a line around the doorway and whispered the sealing enchantment.  They weren't worried about Nazar tonight.  The map wasn't what he was after, but it never hurt to be careful.

With a quick glance and simultaneous nod of the head.  Jameson and Cynthia joined hands and spoke the words they knew would be the beginning of an adventure they weren't sure they would come away from alive.
