    «Later Shim, later», was the only answer he got as she walked away to reach and pull Grace away from the crowd.
    «Are you OK?» she asked, tying an handkerchief as well as she could around her wrist. Actually the cut wasn't deep and the blood had almost stopped flowing out already, but she wanted to be sure.
    «Almost. Don't do that, I'll need more.»
    «It's over, Grace!»
    «No. Not yet. I have to restrain that... thing... until everyone has left, then I'll have it tear the ceiling of the cave down... that thing must be buried once and for all.»
    «She's right», a voice whispered in her head. A voice she was starting to find familiar.
    «He died here», said the voice, still forming short sentences, the best she could do.
    «The obelisk.»
    «Trapped.»
    «Again.»
    «But it must.»
    «Buried.»
    «Forever.»
    «I believe», Amanda said, «that the cat is telling me that the obelisk trapped the demon again because the body he was bound to died here, and that it must be buried again».
    «Hadn't I already said that?» Grace grunted, back to her usual spiteful tone.
    Amanda looked at her.
    She still didn't like that woman.
    But she was going to stay and help her till the end.
