The Shades of Whittington Edge

By: Cliffe, Catherine

Mrs Bettinson, Whittington Edge's resident little black cloud, was at it again.

She had told Lottie Colenso a few months ago that her house was haunted, and a reminder was the last thing she needed. Lottie had put this out of her mind then, but a visit from the local psychic was now essential.

The arrival of two strangers in the village was to shake up Mrs Bettinson. One of them was a Shade from her own past, and he was here to stay. Some less charitable folk watched with glee to see how she dealt with the situation.

Lottie found other Shades. a pair of star crossed lovers from many years ago changed the way she looked at one of the most eminent people in the village. A clue to the death of a schoolgirl in the more recent past took her mind off ghosts and concentrated many neighbours on the task of sorting through their memories. Goomersbury Award participants surrounded Horse and Trumpet Cottage every day and were a further thorn in Lottie's side.

And it was coming up to the Summer Solstice when the handsome chief witch would possibly return to stir up hearts and trouble once more; one resident, at least, hoped he would. Added to that, Mercury was retrograde and all sorts of trouble could trail in its wake.

This Summer Solstice would find a shock for the witches and the whole of Whittington Edge was to discover that Shades existed on both sides of the veil, and everyone had at least one.
