Q&A with Frey.

We gathered around the table and put our hands together on the board. Mila sat next to me, close enough that our shoulders touched. She wanted to be close and I wanted to have her close. I wanted to hold her hand, but I didn’t in fear that it could cause some disturbance with the ouija board. I didn’t know if it would, but better safe than sorry, especially when dealing with stuff you don’t fully understand.

The fear present before was gone this time, but we were not less anxious. We were still attempting to talk to a spirit living inside me, hoping to get answers on something strange we had just witnessed. We didn’t know what to expect.

“Frey, are you with us right now?” I asked firmly.

A-L-W-A-Y-S W-I-T-H Y-O-U

You know, that would sound creepy and ominous to most, but I found it nothing but reassuring. Anxious as I was, I didn’t fear Frey herself.

“Good morning.”

HELLO

“Say, Frey… Do you know anything about what we just saw?” I asked.

“Maybe you should be more specific?” Grace suggested. “I mean, does she see…?”

Before Grace could finish her sentence, the wooden piece began to move again. Frey seemed to have a fair bit to say about this. So much so that it was a little difficult to piece it all together letter by letter Basically, she said: I do. Spirit like me, but different. Envy. Possessed the jerk. Wanted to take from Oliver. Got scared when he saw me. Ran away. Won’t bother us again. I promise.

Noelle’s eyes widened. “Maybe that’s why you both looked out of it for a second,” she deduced. “F-Frey, did you… talk to this other spirit?”

YES

S-C-A-R-E-D H-I-M O-F-F

S-H-A-R-P- N-O-E-L-L-E

The redhead giggled at the compliment.

“How do you know he won’t bother us again?” Sarah asked.

M-A-D-E S-U-R-E O-F-F I-T

How much was this her telling the truth and how much was it her just trying to avoid worrying us? I got the strong feeling it was a perfect 50/50. Sometimes I wish I could speak with her directly. Still…

“Thank you, Frey, for looking after us,” I told her.

I A-M P-R-O-T-E-C-T-I-N-G M-Y S-O-U-R-C-E-O-F S-U-S-T-E-N-A-N-C-E

I don’t know why, but we all shared a laugh. You can’t normally read tone through text, but we somehow knew Frey was embarrassed.

After she stopped laughing, Noelle asked something again. “Frey… Is the supernatural… dangerous?”

I-T C-A-N B-E

B-U-T

I-T C-A-N A-L-S-O B-E F-U-N A-N-D S-A-F-E

D-E-P-E-N-D-S O-N T-H-E U-S-E-R-S

Noelle and Alice both nodded to themselves. That seemed to resonate with them.

Grace frowned and pursed her lips. “Frey,” she started. “Do you watch us having sex?”

A shared gasp around the table.

YES

A-L-L T-H-E T-I-M-E

G-O-O-D S-E-X

C-U-T-E

S-E-X-Y

P-A-S-S-I-O-N-A-T-E

S-H-A-R-I-N-G I-S G-O-O-D

My face burned red. I had a feeling Frey watched, but had decided not to think about it. Not only was she confirming it, but the things she was saying… It was a similar feeling when my mom would ask other kids to play with me, only worse.

Frey, the spirit in my head, hadn’t just asked my girlfriends to share me with even more girls, right? I was imagining it. I had passed out along with Julian and was now sleeping in the infirmary. I had to be.

“...”

There was silence in the room. The girls shared a look, then Mila was the one who spoke next.

“Frey… You get stronger the more sex Oliver has, right?”

YES

“If you become stronger… Could you protect us from other stuff like what just happened?”

I C-O-U-L-D

I W-O-U-L-D

I P-R-O-M-I-S-E T-O

“Frey,” Alice now spoke. “If you were stronger… Could you do more… enchantments? Like the one that normalizes our relationship?”

I C-O-U-L-D

I W-O-U-L-D L-O-V-E T-O

Grace took a deep breath. “If Oliver slept with more women… Would you become stronger?”

S-H-O-R-T A-N-S-W-E-R Y-E-S

“Long answer?” Noelle asked.

M-Y P-O-W-E-R I-S C-O-N-N-E-C-T-E-D T-O H-I-S D-E-S-I-R-E-S

“And Oliver wants to sleep with more women?” Sarah asked.

S-H-O-R-T A-N-S-W-E-R Y-E-S

Please, earth, swallow me and never spit me back up. Do it now, I’m begging.

“Long answer?” Mila asked.

H-I-S D-E-E-P R-O-O-T-E-D W-I-S-H F-R-O-M L-O-N-G A-G-O

F-R-O-M B-E-F-O-R-E H-E M-E-T Y-O-U

A-L-L H-I-S

A F-A-N-T-A-S-Y N-E-V-E-R T-O B-E F-U-L-F-I-L-L-E-D

That’s it. I’m going to be single after this and until the day I die. I had a nice run. It will always be a nice memory of my youth. Love you girls. I hope you’re happy wherever you go.

“...”

The girls hummed in quiet contemplation, each giving Frey’s words their own consideration. Then the bell rang. The 20 minutes we had left before classes started went by in the blink of an eye.

“A-Anyway, thank you Frey! We’ll talk later. Bye!” I said hurriedly.

GOODBYE

Why did I have the strong suspicion she was very pleased with herself right now?

“D-Don’t listen to her,” I said, standing up from my chair. “She doesn’t know what she’s talking about. In fact, she probably doesn’t really exist. I bet we’re all just imagining it. Anyway, we’ll be late for class. Let’s go!”

Ugh. It wasn’t like this was the biggest secret in the world by this point, but I had approached it with enough subtlety and tact so it didn’t make me look like a selfish sex addict. At least not the worst one out there. To have Frey spell out my biggest fetishes was just…

“...God, you’re just the cutest when you’re embarrassed,” Sarah said, rubbing her face like it was too much for her.

The girls all laughed and voiced their agreement. They stood up and we started going back to the main building. Mila grabbed my arm and walked with me all the way to the classroom without letting go.

The rest of the day went by without any other issues. We heard people talking about Julian being in the infirmary, but every rumor was more ridiculous and baseless than the previous one. That he had gotten sick from being scared of me, that he had been found outside the school with his pants wet, that he had the hots for the old nurse… At that point people were talking for the sake of talking. The nurse said it was exhaustion, but that he should still go to the doctor. His family went to pick him up and took him there immediately.

No one said anything about two Olivers nor anything about me and Mila having a ‘fight’. If anything, people wondered why she was being so clingy with me. Not that I minded at all, but I worried we were making others uncomfortable.

As the day passed, our state of alert began to wear off. We believed Frey, seeing as she had her own stakes in our relationship going well. In fact… I had a feeling that, instead of becoming wary of it, this little incident had made the girls more curious about the supernatural.

More importantly, though… None of them mentioned anything about what Frey had said about my… wishes. Considering their thoughtful expressions when she had revealed them, I didn’t know if that was a good or a bad thing.
