They eventually lose sight of her and run into Jessica Davis and her gang who are up to no good knocking things over and causing general angsty chaos. The team is attacked by Skelejacks and fends them off. They decide to head back to the old church where the find Cecil fretting. They ask him about the things they've seen and he tells them the "legend" of the river spirit. They poke around the library and find a ledger with names and dates of kids who have gone missing on previous halloween nights. They ask him about it and he admits that he has been keeping track (as have members of his family in the past) with the children the River Monster has taken from the town over the years. He has kept it a secret because he was told by generations of his family that the monster could not be killed, that it was too powerful and it was best if Cecil just allowed this to happen and did what could be done to stop the creature from making itself known or causing a stir that would get more people hurt. The hunters take it upon themselves to vanquish the River Monster, and they succeed.

Kate has noticed her missing materials and she finally decided to search the whole house. On this Monday afternoon, after school, while her mother was still at work, Kate found her things stashed away in Dotlyns closet. Kate was not amused. She went to Cecil and asked him if she could do magic at the old church/ library, but Cecil doesn't particularly like the fact that she's learning dangerous spells either... So he said no.

Dotlyn's "God" is none too pleased about this. Dotlyn is told she has until the end of February to stop Kate from pursuing magic, or "God" will do it for her...
