It’s a sunny,normal day in Hazzard. Who knew that it would turn out to be a
totally scary experience for the Duke family.Bo Duke parked the General Lee in front of
the general store. He was going in with a list that Daisy gave him. This was a special
occasion for the Duke family. Their cousin Tara was coming down from Atlanta. They
had’nt see Tara for ten years. The last time Bo had seen Tara, she was a skinny little girl
of nine. He was eleven and was growing like a weed. Tara always looked up to him. He
wondered what little Tara would look like now. Bo was 21, tall, blond and hansome. Bo
was so absorbed in thinking of Tara that he did’nt notice the mysterious woman in black
eying him.
“Morning .Mr Johnson, I’m just picking these here groceries for Daisy.” Bo
handed Mr. Johnson twenty, hardearned dollars. He saw the lady in black around the
entrance of the store. I wondered if she’s lost her way Bo thought. He walked towards
the woman in black. She was very pretty,but she was’nt like any of the girls around
Hazzard.
“Ah, miss, are you lost?”
She looked deeply to Bo’s eyes. “Yes, I am just visiting friends here in Hazzard,
but I seemed to have lost them.”
Bo remembered Tara. “Ah, I wish I could help, but I am late for my cousin.
Maybe I’ll see you again.”
“Maybe.” She walked away.”Yes maybe.”

Daisy Duke was icing a cake for Tara. But where was Bo? Tara was going to
here soon and Bo was not even here yet.
“Luke,Luke, when did Bo say he’d be back?
“Just before Luke could answer Bo drove the General into the driveway of the
farm. Not a moment to soon, a red racing car zoomed next to the General. Out stepped
an attractive redhaired young woman.
“Tara! Tara Jessi Lynn Duke!” exclaimed Daisy, forgetting her anger at Bo for
being late.
“Daisy, you look great.” Tara hugged Daisy. She looked over at Bo and Luke.
“Hey, how are you, little cousin.” Luke embraced Tara.
“Watch out, Luke, I am a fellow Marine, so don’t call me little.” Tara teased.
She looked at Bo who had a huge grin on his face. He opened his arms. Tara fell into his
arms.
“Bo, I missed you so much.”
Luke and Daisy looked at thier two younger cousins. Tara and Bo were
inseparatable, growing up. Tara was bron two years after Bo. They were the best of
friends. they remembered when Tara’s parents Jake and Eileen decided to move to
Altanta. Bo was heartbroken. It took weeks to cure Bo’s heartache for Tara.
“What have you been doing joining the marines and driving a race car.” Bo joked.
“I’m a Duke, ain’t I? At first, Mom and Dad went nuts. Dad wanted me to go to
law school but I want to explore new horizons.”
“So, you went to a dangerous horizons.” Luke joked.
“Dangerous, I bet Scarlett could beat the General. I’ll race you.”
“You’re on!” Bo said as he went to the General.
“Later, Bo. I think you did enough driving for the day.” Daisy remarked.
“Anyway, what happened to you? You were late, Bo Duke.” Bo explained to Daisy, Luke
and Tara about the mysterious lady he bumped into at the general store earlier.
“Bo, you have not changed. You always been a charmer. You know it could get
you in trouble.” Tara joked.
“You should talk. I bet the guys are knocking themselves over you.” Bo joked
back. Tara was pretty. She had flaming red hair that softly fell past her shoulders. Her
pale skin contrasted with her hair. Her green eyes always sparkled when she was excited
or very happy. She had a slim but curvious figure. The boys could’nt believe that this
attractive girl was the same girl that was skinny and freckled.
“Alright, I think we should down and eat.” Daisy said as they entered the houyse.
“Where’s Uncle Jesse?” Tara asked as they sat in the farm house. “I couldn’t wait
to see him.”
“Uncle Jesse is visting a sick friend in Captial City. Luke said.
“Oh, I remember that I needed to get a car part from Cooter.” Bo said. ” Tara,
would you like to come with me.”
“I haven’t seen Cooter in so long,” Tara said as she and Bo went to the General.
“Bo, can you ask Cooter when Dixie will be fixed” Daisy asked as Bo and Tara
left for Cooter’s.

“Hey Crazy C, I am here to get that car part that Luke and I need for the General.”
Cooter Davenport walked over to see Bo.” Bo, who’s the pretty gal?”
“Cooter, it’s me, Tara.”
“Tara Duke,whoowee! Last time I saw you were a skinny little girl following Bo
and Luke around like a puppy.”
“Cooter Davenprot. you flatter me.” Tara mocked.
“Thanks for the part. It’s getting late.”
“See ya Bo and Tara. Oh Bo you tell Daisy that Dixie will be finished soon.”
Cooter said as Bo and Tara left his garage. Then Bo spotted the mysterious lady.
“There she is, Tara. Miss are you lost again.?”
“I was hoping to see you again.” she walked towards Bo and Tara. “I seemed to be
totally lost lost, young man.”
“I’m Bo, Bo Duke and this is Cousin Tara.
“”Mr. Duke, I am looking for the local hotel.”
Bo and Tara walked Amelia, the mysterious lady’s name, to the Hazzard Hotel
“I hope I see more of you.” Bo said. Amelia eyed Bo up and down.
“Yes, I hope I see more of you.”
“Well, see you, nice meeting you ,Amelia.” Amelia watched Bo and Tara walk
away. “He’s perfect, perfect.” she laughed to herself.

Later that night, as Tara, Daisy and Luke slept, Bo was trying to fall asleep. Then
he heard a faint whisper.
“Bo, Bo come to me. Arise and come to me, Bo.” Bo felt himself rise and walk
out of the farm house. There was Amelia, the lady in black. Bo walked towards her. She
opened her arms.
“Bo, come into my arms.” Bo fell into her arms. He couldn’t believe he was
doing this. They just met. Amelia slid her hands up and down Bo’s back.
“Kiss me, Bo, you want to, don’t you.” She was right. He want to kiss her. Her
lips touched his lips. She kissed him deeply. He found her kisses intoxicating. He started
to lose himself in her kisses.
“Time to go back, Bo. But soon, you will be with me.” She kissed him again and
keeping him occupied, she took a needle with a mild seditive to make him sleep. Bo felt
heavy. “You will forget this, Bo.”

Next morning, Bo felt sluggish. He could’nt even stay awake to finish his chores.
Tara noticed her cousin sluggishly moving through the yard.
“Bo, are you ok? You look tired.”
“I don’t know Tara, I slept well, I recken, I been working too hard.”
Night after night this happened. Amelia would call Bo out of the house. She
would enfolded him in her arms and kiss him deeply. But, each night she would get
bolder. She would caress his back and run her hands through his blond hair. Then she
would enter the needle into his forearm. Once again, she would tell Bo to forget what
happened.
“Tomorrow, darling, you will be mine.”
Tara was so worried about her cousin. He would move so slow and it seemed
worse every day.
“I am so worried about Bo.” Tara said to Daisy and Luke. “He looks tired and
worn out.”
“I know, Tara, I am worried about Bo too.” Daisy said. “I wonder if he’s coming
down with something.”
Luke looked at Bo. He was also worried. Bo is very strong but it seems he is so
weak. “Bo!”
Tara and Daisy looked up at Luke running out of house. Bo had fallen down.
“Bo, Oh my God.” Tara and Daisy raced to Bo’s side.
“He’s unconscious.” Luke carried Bo into the house and gently lowered him onto
the couch.
“Bo,Bo…”
Bo recognized his name being called and stirred out of unconsciousness. “What
happened?” Bo asked.
“I was going to ask the same question, cousin.” Luke said.
“I don’t know what happened.” Bo said weakly. “Maybe I have to slow down or
something like that.”
“Just rest.” Daisy said lying a blanket on Bo.
“We’ll finish your chores for you.” Tara said. Tara started to walk away with Luke
and Daisy.
“Tara, can you please stay. I don’t want you to leave.”
Tara sat down beside Bo while Daisy went into the kitchen and Luke went outside
to chop some wood for a neighbor. Tara looked at her cousin with concern, he was
flinching in his sleep. She squeezed his hand and smoothed his brow. He did’nt feel
warm, just normal. Maybe, he was just terribly excited to see her,but he was totally
restless.
As night fell, Bo was still sleeping. “I never seen Bo sleep so much.” Daisy said
as she walked in the living room with Tara. Luke was out with Cooter at the Boar’s Nest.
When Daisy came home from work, she saw Tara still sitting on the couch, holding Bo’s
hand while he was still sleeping.
“I wondered if he’s sick.” Daisy asked while she put her hand against Bo’s brow.
“He is’nt warm.”
“Let’s leave him here to sleep. I am tired and I can’t lift him.” Tara said as she
leaned over and kissed Bo’s brow. Tara and Daisy walked into Daisy’s bedroom and got
ready for bed.
Late at night, Bo heard the whisper again. “Bo,Bo come to me.” Bo tried to resist
the whisper but it was a losing battle. He walked towards Amelia. But he felt danger
around this lady. Was she trying to trap him or did she really love him?
“That’s it, come to me, my beloved.” She encircled her arms around his body. Bo
leaned over and tried to kiss her. He ached for her kiss.
“Not yet, my darling, not yet. We’ll have alot of time for that. But, for now, we
have to go.” She took the needle from her pocket ,in plain view of Bo’s sight, started
drawing it closer to Bo’s forearm.
“What’s that?” Bo looked at the needle’s pointy end near his arm.
“A little something to make you sleep.” Bo tried to pull himself from her
embrace. “You’re the one making me tired.”
“Yes, now be a good boy, and let me do this.” She grabbed his arm with her hand
and inserted the needle into his forearm. Instantly, the drug took affect. Bo tried to resist
the heavyness of his body, but it was a losing battle. He collapsed in Amelia’s arms. She
lifted Bo’s body in her arms.
“You are mine, completely mine.” She cackled as she carried Bo into the night.

Tara woke up. She felt something was wrong, very wrong. She walked to the
living room to check on Bo. But, he was’nt there. Maybe he went to his bed to sleep, but
he wasn’t there either. She ran back into Daisy’s room.”Daisy, Daisy, wake up, Bo’s
missing.”
“Are you sure.” Daisy yawned and followed a frantic Tara into the living
room.”Oh, my God, I am going to call Rosco.” Daisy cried as she picked up the phone.
“Why are you calling Rosco?” Luke asked as he walked into the living room.
When he saw the two girls faces, he knew why Daisy wanted to contact the sheriff. “It’s
Bo, isn’t it?”
Tara explained to Luke about sensing something wrong and finding Bo missing.
“Well, we can’t do anything for Bo right now. So lets try and get some sleep and
search for Bo in the morning.” Luke said as he embraced the girls. “Don’t worry. Bo’s a
grown boy, he can take care of himself.”
Daisy and Tara wanted to believe Luke so bad’ but with the events that had been
happening the last few days. They weren’t to sure. As they tried to sleep, they could’nt
help worring about Bo.
Bo awoke in a unfamilar room. Last night was’nt a dream gone wrong. This was
real! He looked at his surrounding. It was a dingy,dusty room with makeshift iron bags
on the windows. Was it prison? The door creaked open and in stepped a shadowy figure.
It was that beautiful young lady that played around his emotions and his body. Without
saying a word, she layed on top of him and pressed the whole length of her body against
his body. His body sank in the dusty, dirty mattress. Her hands slid down the length of
his thighs, Bo felt not the warm touch of a woman’s hands but cold blocks of ice that
were freezing his legs. He could’nt move his legs. Her hands found each of his
shoulders. Bo felt the same icy sensation on his arms. He could’nt move his arms either.
“What’s going on?” Bo said with fear in his voice and his eyes. “I am paralyzing
you, so you won’t run away.”
Bo knew that was not the truth. She leaned her lips toward Bo’s lips. “You want
to kiss me, don’t you? Last night you were begging it.” Bo thought something was
wrong. She didn’t have to paralyze him to kiss her. “But, I want you to kiss the real me.”
Then, as Bo watched in horror, her beautiful face changed into a wrinkled, hideous face.
Bo tried to escape, but his body would’nt move. He flinched when her knarled, twisted
fingers caressed his cheek. “Kiss me, Bo.” she cackled.
“NO!” Bo tryed to move his face but she grabbed his face between her fingers.
He almost retched with disdained. She slapped him hard against the cheek. “You will
never see the light again Bo Duke. You will be in darkness, Forever. As my prisoner.”
She slapped him again and again. “Don’t worry I wouldn’t let you die. I let you live for a
while. But, I will make you feel so helpless.” She released the paralysising spell on him.
“Until tomorrow, my pet.”
Bo collapsed into tears. He sobbed like a heart would break. Will his cousins
find him and save him?

While Amelia was torturing poor Bo, Luke, Daisy and Tara were in Sheriff
Rosco Coltrane’s office.
“He’s missing Rosco.” Luke told Rosco.
“Is he really or are you Dukes lying?”
“Rosco, would we lie to you?” Tara said with tears in her eyes.
“I’ll see if I can find anything on Bo. I’ll get Cletus and we will try to find Bo.”
Later, that day, almost everybody in Hazzard knew that Bo Duke was missing.
Folks looked everywhere for Bo. I was looking too. I have know the Duke family for
years now. I don’t like when any of the Dukes are in trouble.
Luke searched every fishing creek and every path trailing back to the farm. Daisy
and Tara looked every place they could think Bo could be.
“But, why would Bo leave?” Daisy wondered. “You’re here, Tara. All he talked
about was you. He could’nt wait to see you.”
Luke met up with the girls at the Boars Nest. Even though Bo was missing, Boss
wanted Daisy to work.
“But not to hard, Daisy.” Boss had said.
“Maybe, Bo was kidnapped or something.” Luke said.
“But would we have heard something out there.” Tara said as Rosco and Cletus
walked in.
“Bad news, Bad news.” Rosco said to everybody in hearing distance. “I could’nt
find Bo anywhere.”
“I am sorry, Dukes.” said Cletus. “I looked everywhere and I still could’nt find Bo
either. But I am going to look out for Bo.”

While everyone was still out looking for him, Bo was helplessly being tortured by
Ambrosia, the witch’s real name. Bo pleaded for her to stop. She slapped him again.
She cackled as she placed her hand over his eyes. Darkness flooded his eyes.
“I can’t see, Oh God. Please stop, I beg you.” She regained his sight. She loved
torturing him.
“You know they are looking for you out there. But you will never see them again.
You are mine and you will stay here in darkness. Your days and nights will be dismal.”
She walked toward the windows and then she peered out. She saw alot of people
searching for Bo. Then she saw a young man looking around the street. She recognized
him as Bo’s cousin, Luke. He was as handsome as this one. She had room for one more.
But, how to get him was a problem. She could’nt use the same ploy as she did with the
young man lying helplessly on the mattress. “I see your cousin out there looking for
you.”
Bo still could’nt move. So the only thing he could do was scream. “Luke, Luke,
save me.” His voice was hoarse from crying. Ambrosia raced to him. She slapped him
hard across the face. Her ring cut his face. Bo felt the blood oozing out of the cut.
“He’ll never hear you, you fool.” She had a evil grin on her face. “You may see
your cousin, after all.”
“No, don’t hurt Luke. You got me. Do what you will with me, but don’t harm
any of my kin.”
“Well, not today, I am having so much fun with you.”She placed her hands around
Bo’s throat and pressed against his windpipe. Bo,suddenly, felt he was suffacateing. He
tried to breathe but he felt his windpipe closing. After what seem like forever, she lifted
her hands from his throat.She left the room, leaving Bo more and more scared. What if
she abducted Luke? Would she hurt Luke like she was torturing him? He could’nt sleep
for he was afraid she would come back and precede to torture him some more. “Please
Luke, someone save me.” He remembered Tara. “Please Tara, find me. I need you. I am
so scared.” He rested his head on the pillow and preceded to cry. He never cried this
much since he was a little boy. He felt like a child, so helpless and so powerless.

Morning in Hazzard was bleak and rainy. The people felt like the weather. Back
at the Duke farm, Uncle Jesse was called back home. The worry in Daisy’s voice told
him he should be with his family. One of his “kids” was missing. Seeing Uncle Jesse
brought tears to Daisy’s and Tara’s eyes.
“Oh, Uncle Jesse, Bo is gone and we don’t know where he is. I am so scared for
him. What if he is hurt?” Daisy cried.
Luke explained to Uncle Jesse the strange events surrounding Bo’s disappearance.
“Do you think he was kidnapped or something?” Uncle Jesse asked.”I thought so
myself, but I don’t know.” Luke said as he rised from the couch. “I am going back out
there and look again.”
“We’ll go with you.” Daisy said.
“No, I think you and Tara should stay with Uncle Jesse.” Luke said.
“Maybe Bo will call.” Uncle Jesse said as Luke walked out the door and proceeed
to climb into the General Lee.
“Now, Luke, you will be careful. I don’t want you missing too.” Uncle Jesse
called after him.
“Ok, Uncle Jesse.” Luke drove out of the driveway and into town.Once in town,
Luke looked around the town. “No sign of Bo.” people told Luke. Luke wavde to them in
gradutude. Then he saw a young woman. He hadn’t seen this woman in Hazzard. She
walked up and spoke up.
“I could’nt help overhearing about your cousin is missing.”
“Yes, he went missing about four days ago. I have been in town so many times,
but still no sign.” He showed a picture of Bo. “This is him.”
“Oh, him, come to think of it, I did see him.”
“You did! Where?”
“I will show you where.” the young woman said. She walked with Luke in front of
a old run-down house.”I saw him walk to this house two days ago.”
“What a fool, falling for little fib.” Ambrosia laughed.
“I better see why he would do this.” Luke said. He could’nt believe Bo would do
this. Everybody was so worried. Ambrosia put her arms around Luke. “Don’t you want to
thank me?”
“I don’t even know you.”
Ambrosia kissed him. “Bo’s with me now and he will be mine.” She grabbed
Luke’s arm and applyed the needle into his forearm. “You fool!”
“What the…” Luke slumped into her arms. She lifted him into arms and entered
the house.

Luke woke up to find himself sitting down on a chair. His hands and feet were
clamped down by silver bands that were afixed to the chair. As he was wondering where
he was, he sensed a presence behind him. A pair of hands clamped on his shoulders.
Luke looked up and saw the young woman that abducted him.”Where am I?”
“You are with me, beloved one, in my home. Where you will stay forever.” She
slid her hands down into his shirt. He felt a icy sensation on his skin. He shivered from
the cold, that enveloped him.
“Where’s Bo? What have you done to him?” She didn’t say a word to him. Her
hands slid to his neck and then to through his hair. She would not hurt this one. He
seemed a little bit more smarter.
“Where’s my cousin? I want to see him.” Luke demanded. She gathered handfuls
of his hair and wrenched his head up. Luke winced in pain.
“You will soon see your precious cousin. There is one thing though. You must
promise me. You will do whatever I say, when the time comes. I know you are a bit
wiser and plan to escape with your cousin. So, I have made perfectly sure you and he
will not.”
Luke wondered about this as she released the bonds from his hands and feet. She
led him by the hand, towards the stairs. Luke could’nt help looking at the dilapidated
surroundings around him. The walls were crumbling with old wallpaper. The sounds of
thier footsteps creaking against the old boards of the stairs. That was the only sound that
wither of them made as they walked down a hallway on the second floor. They stopped
in front of old fashioned door.
“Behold” Ambrosia said as she flung the door open. “Your cousin.”
Luke saw Bo curled up in a ball. His face was covered. All Luke saw was Bo’s
blond hair gleaming in the semi-darkness.”Is he alright?”
Ambrosia shoved Luke in and closed the door. “Bo, Bo are you alright? Bo ,
please speak to me.”Luke lifted Bo’s head and tilted his face towards him.Luke almost
gasped when he saw Bo’s swollen face. His eye’s were semi-swollen shut.”Bo, what did
she do to you? Oh, god, Bo.”
Bo tried to open his eyes.”Luke?” Bo weakly mumbled. “Luke, is that you?”
“Yes, It’s me,Bo.”
“Oh, God, Luke.” Bo tried to lift his head to look at Luke. After a few attempts,
he gave up and dropped his head down. Luke helped Bo straighten his body from the
curled position it was in earlier. “Did she hurt you?” Bo asked Luke as Luke held his
head up.”No, but I was going to ask you the same question, cousin.” Luke’s eyes swept
down the length of Bo’s body. His shirt was ripped and dirty. There were bruises on his
upper chest and his throat. It was like was attempting to strangle him. He looked like he
had’nt eaten for days. In face, he looked so neglected.”Bo, is she hurting you?” Luke
demanded Bo to answer him. But, Bo was to overwrought with fear now. His
semi-swollen eyes were glistening with tears. A couple of tears squeezed through and
coursed down his cheeks. Luke had enough. He gathered Bo into his arms. He had to
get him and Bo out of there.
“Luke, she will never let us go.” Bo said, his voice with fear.
“That’s a chance we will have to take. If you stay here,she will probably kill you.
Look at yourself, she has you scared to death.”
The door opened.”You’re right, my pet. He is totally scared. Aren’t you, Bo?”
An old woman walked into the room.”I think it’s time to fulfill your side of the
deal, my darling.” She grabbed Luke’s arm.
“Who are you?” Then he looked at her .”No, it can’t be! You’re her, aren’t you?”
“Yes, this is my true form. I only took the form of a young desirable woman to
lure young men into my lair. Now let’s go.”Luke tried to resist her but by the evil look in
her eyes and Bo ‘s growing fear, he did let her draw him away from Bo.”I’ll come back for
you, Bo.” Luke said.
Ambrosia looked Bo with a evil, icy stare. Then, to Luke’s horror, Bo started
coughing and stuttering. He held his stomach and had a look of pain mixed with utter
fear.”Now,that I got your full attention, this is what I want from you. I want you to
physically surrender yourself to me. If you do not surrender your handsome, desirable
form to me. I will go and proceed to make your poor, dear couisn, who also may I add
surrendered himself, hemorrhage to death.”Luke looked at Bo, who was contuning to
cough. Blood was trickling down the corners of his mouth.
“Alright, I will do what you say. Just, please, stop hurting him.” Bo was released
and he curled back into a ball, whimpering in pain. He could’nt bear seeing Luke being
taken out of the room.Luke was led down a hall. They stopped at a room that was similar
to the room Bo was in.
“Lie down!” Luke laid down on the solid matress. Ambrosia laid down on top of
Luke. She raised his arms over his head and tied to a post that was in back of the
mattress. She caressed his face and his neck. She proceeded to slide her hands down his
chest thorugh his open shirt, towards his belt buckle. She unbuckled his belt. Her lips
pressed firmly on his lips. She unzipped his jeans. Luke laid there surrendering himself
to this witch. It seemed like hours, but it only lasted minutes. For Bo’s sake, he did
everything she requested in satisfying her needs. She dressed herself. Then, with a firm
grip on his chin, she brutally kissed him on the lips, one last time.
“Until later, my pet, my desirable pet.”She closed the door, leaving Luke in utter
darkness.

It had been five hours and Luke was not back home.
“We better find him and Bo.” Daisy said.
“Be careful , girls.” Uncle Jesse said.
Tara and Daisy took Tara’s car, Scarlett because Dixie was still in the garage.
They drove around the trails. They headed into town.
“Where could Luke be?” Daisy asked.
Suddenly, Tara stopped the car.
“Tara, what is it?” Daisy asked.
“They’re in there.” Tara pointed to the house in front of them.
“How do you know?” Daisy asked as got out of the car.”I feel it, they’re in
danger.” Tara said, garabbing Daisy.
“Lets go in there.” Daisy said, as she charged up the stairs.
“No, Daisy, we are not prepared.” Tara noticed Daisy’s puzzled face. “Who ever
has Bo and Luke in there is evil.” She opened Scarlett’s trunk. Daisy looked inside and
gasped. Inside there were crosses,holy water, bottles of liquid and two large
medallions.”I never leave home without all those new-age stuff. Here, Daisy, wear this.”
Tara handed Daisy one of the medallions.”It wards off evil. Anyone wearing it will not
be harmed.”
“Where did you learn all this.” Daisy asked.
“In Louisana, I met a girl there on the marine base. Her mother is into this stuff.
She taught me everything” Tara explained. They entered the house. Tara had a backpack
with the stuff she needed. They reached the second floor. There was two doors on either
end if the hall.
Tara went to one door and Daisy went to the other door. They knew Bo and Luke
were in these rooms. They were locked. Tara knocked on the door. “Hello, anyone
there. Bo? Luke? It’s me, Tara, Daisy and I are here.” She heard a moan of pain. It was
Bo!
“Don’t worry, Bo” She went down the hall. “Daisy, Luke’s in there. Stand back!”
Tara raised her foot and kicked the door down. The old door crumbled down. They
found Luke tied down on mattress. “Luke, Luke, are you okay!”
“Yeah, just a little weak, but Bo was in trouble.” Tara opened her backpack and
took out of vial of liquid. “Here Luke drink this, it will strengthen you.” Tara pressed the
vial to Luke’s mouth and tipped it. Luke drank the liquid and grimanced. “It’s tasteless,
but it will help you. Now let’s get Bo and get out of here.” Tara said. They heard a
bloodcurdling scream.
“Bo!!” They raced down the hall and stopped in front of the door. the screaming
stopped but they heard someone gasping for breath. Tara pressed her foot against the
door.”Daisy, you and Luke stay back. I feel evil in that room. Bo is not alone. I have only
two medallions.” Daisy and Luke stood back. Tara then handed Daisy a large golden
cross.
“Daisy take this cross. When I tell you, hold it up.” Tara broke down the door.
There they saw an old woman on top of Bo. She had her hand on his throat. Bo saw
Tara, then Luke and Daisy. His vison was blurred, due to the his abuse at the hands of
Ambrosia.
“Tara, help me.” he gasped. Tara grabbed holy water out of her bag. “Daisy,
Now!”
Daisy held up the cross in front of Ambrosia’s face, while Tara poured the water
on her. The witch started to scream. The house started to rumble. Then the floor board
opened up. A great suction forced Ambrosia down. “I am not going into the fire without
him.” she grabbed Bo’s arm and proceeded to pull Bo with her.
“Help me.” Bo weakly cried. Luke, Daisy and Tara went to Bo’s side and
grabbed him. They pulled Bo back. Poor Bo was trapped in a tug of war. Tara grabbed
the cross and plunged a it’s sharp end into the witch. Ambrosia screamed out and let go
of Bo’s arm. She tumbled down into the deep pit and the boards of the house closed on
her.
“Bo, are you alright?”
Bo could’nt speak. Tara looked at her cousin. His face was bruised and swollen.
The skin around his lips were blue.
“Anything in that bag to cure Bo?” Daisy asked as she cradled Bo’s head in her
arms.
“No, we have better get him to the hospital.” Tara said as Luke gathered Bo in his
arms and hoisted him up.

Uncle Jesse, Luke, Daisy and Tara were in the waiting room at the Tri-County
Hospital. Bo was brought in a hour ago. The doctor came out.”Mr. Duke, I have seen
your nephew.”
“How is he?” Uncle Jesse asked.”He is in stable condition but is in shock. There
is some trama in his upper chest, but nothing to serious. We found some needle marks on
his upper left arm.”
“It must have been that needle. She gave me one too.” Luke said as the doctor
examined his arm.
“Nothing serious, son, I did a blood test to see what enter his blood stream. Just a
mild sedative. ” The doctor gave Jesse a serious look. “Mr. Duke, what is serious is your
nephew’s mental and emotional health. He has went through a terrible ordeal. He needs
a lot of love and support. I have also suggest a psychiatrist to help Bo out.” The doctor
handed Jesse a card with the infomation.
“Can we see him?” Tara asked.
“Yes. Are you Tara?” the doctor asked .”Well, young lady, he’s been asking for
you since he was brought in.”
The doctor let Tara into Bo’s room. Bo was awake and staring up at the ceiling.
“Bo, honey, I am here.”
“Tara, oh, Tara.” Bo collapsed into tears.
“I am here.” She embraced Bo and rubbed his back.
Choking sobs sprang from Bo’s lips. “I thought I would never see you again. I was
so scared.”
Tara smoothed Bo’s brow. “Shh,Shh, it’s ok now.”
“I want to go home.” Bo said clinging to Tara.
Two nights later Bo was released form the hospital. The ordeal was just
beginning. Ambrosia was gone but her torturous ways would haunted Bo for a long
while.
