He didn’t believe in entities taking over, far from it, but something was retching from deep within her soul at that moment.
Her tone of voice changed to more aggressive, stronger, more confident. More fluent. More sophisticated. “BlackRam will never be defeated. BlackRam will haunt you forever, Tattooman! BlackRam will kill you in your sleep. You and your detective, Samantha. No one can undo BlackRam’s spells. BlackRam’s energy is powerful. All encompassing. BlackRam will get away with everything she’s done. BlackRam will put you in a grave, just like she has done with the others.”
He listened intently, showing no emotion, even though thoughts were rambling through his brain.
“Yeah. You’ll never find them if you spend the rest of your career looking. She will not talk to you again. No one will put AriellaRose in prison. I’ll make her kill anyone she meets.” She gazed at the wall in front of her. Hypnotized.
Frank had enough information to make a decision. He snapped his fingers in front of her.
She jumped. “What the fuck did you do that for?”
“Welcome back, AriellaRose. Where did you go?”
“I was having a daydream and you woke me up. What the fuck?”
“What were you dreaming about?”
“You mentioned BlackRam and I just went off. I don’t remember. I never remember my dreams.”
“All right, take it easy. You need to talk to the doctors I send in to ask you questions.”
“Why? Give me one good reason why.”
“If you don’t, you’re going to be in this hospital a very, very long time.” He patted her hand and left the room without further explanation.
He wasn’t sure if he had unraveled a split personality or what. He wasn’t jumping to conclusions. Not until many more tests, researching, for at least another month. But one thing for sure, he was not handing AriellaRose Larcon over to the authorities for a long time.

Frank cuddled with Sam under the sheets. In his bedroom. In his house. They embraced, kissing, and he rolled on top of her. She yanked the blanket down to his waist. Good. it was getting hot under there. Both their bodies glistened from beads of perspiration. He kissed her face, down to her neck. He treasured her. Appreciated her. He wanted to show her in the most primal way.
They had already gone one round. Oh, man! Did this woman have a strong libido. One that he’d satisfy again and again, and forever, if he had his way.
He pecked her nose with his lips. “Thanks, princess.”
She tapped his nose. “For what?”
“For bringing me closure.”
She smiled and her lips met his. He reciprocated and there was no more talking for a while.
He rolled over onto his back. “You know? You’re the only woman who’s been in this bed other than Jen.”
Sam rolled over and leaned half on him, half on the bed. “Then I’m honored, King Khaos. And I look forward to many more nights in your bed, and nights you feel you don’t have to ship Frankie off to Grandma and Grandpa.”
He smiled. A tear trickled from his eye. Sam lay her head on his chest. He looked up toward the ceiling.
Thanks, Jen, for bringing Sam into our lives.

ABOUT THE AUTHOR
Ronnie Allen is a New York City native, born and bred in Brooklyn New York, where she was a teacher in the New York City Department of Education for 33 years. As a New York State licensed School Psychologist, she was given the opportunity to be one of three educators to create a unit in her school for emotionally needy students. Her various roles included classroom teacher, staff developer, crisis intervention specialist, and mentor for teachers who were struggling. Always an advocate for the child, Allen carries this through in the need to understand children with deeply rooted emotional traumas--as the young adult characters in Aries. In the early 1990s Allen began a journey into holistic healing and alternative therapies. She actually completed her PhD in Parapsychic Sciences in 2001, writing the dissertation when she was home for four months recuperating from being in a coma for twelve days. Medical science had given up on her and told her husband and son that she had less than a two percent chance of survival. Well surprise, surprise! Here she is! Definitely the survivor. And so are her characters! Hence, the dedication for Aries.
Along the way, Allen has picked up many certifications. She is a Board Certified Holistic Health Practitioner as well as a crystal therapist, Reiki practitioner, metaphysician, dream analyst, and Tarot Master Instructor. She has taught workshops in New York City and in Central Florida where she now lives in all of these mediums both in person and online, with the goal being to teach people how to make the mind-body connection for their healing and personal growth. Combining a love of the crime genre and her psychology background, with her alternative therapies experience, writing psychological and paranormal thrillers is the perfect venue for her.
