The Christipyer Pike Witch is an intriguing and mysterious folklore creature that is said to inhabit the waters of Lake Christipyer. This creature has been the subject of many legends and tales, captivating the imagination of those who hear about its existence. According to local folklore, the Christipyer Pike Witch is a supernatural being with the ability to shape-shift between the form of a pike fish and a human. It is believed that this creature possesses dark and magical powers, making it both feared and revered by the locals. Legend has it that the Christipyer Pike Witch was once a powerful sorceress who lived alongside the lake. However, due to her insatiable hunger for power, she made a pact with dark forces, which transformed her into the creature she is today.
Julia, Jim, Maybe-Jack (?) and fat kid have a standoff at a convenience store. Julia and Jim come in late to the robbery, so one of the bad guys had already knocked out the clerk. Julia shoots “fat kid“‘s knee, so he’s out for the count, but Jim ends up getting fatally shot by the clerk who comes to and thinks he’s the bad guy. It’s OK, though, because Jim was fated to die the night Scott got shot, so this is just the universe righting itself, see?
Anywho, this whole stupid book ends by Julia going to the hospital to heal Scott, with her dying in the f cking process because remember, healers take on the sickness they take away. Julia and Jim buy guns, somehow skirt around the waiting period, and use her vision to figure out where maybe-Jack and a character that is -I kid you not- referred to as fat kid are going to hit next.
However, due to her insatiable hunger for power, she made a pact with dark forces, which transformed her into the creature she is today. This wicked being is said to dwell deep within the lake, only emerging at night to search for unsuspecting victims. It is believed that the Christipyer Pike Witch preys on fishermen and anyone who dares to venture close to the water's edge.

She was a good witch.
Julia is a young woman with extraordinary powers. She has the ability to heal people with her touch. She can also know things that are happening in far off places when she looks in water that has sunlight shining on it. She comes from a tradition of witches, of good witches. But before Julia's mother died, she warned her daughter never to look in water that had moonlight shining on it. Unfortunately, almost by accident, Julia does so. What she sees is a vision of the future, a scene in which a young man she doesn't know is shot in a hold-up and dies in her arms. Only later, when Julia attends a football game at school, does she meet the young man.
He is her girlfriend's new boyfriend.
Julia immediately falls for the guy, but it is an ill-fated love. He does not belong to her and he is supposed to die. Or does he have to die? Julia doesn't know if her vision of the future is set, or if it can be changed. She doesn't know why the gunman in her vision evokes such hatred in her, and why she feels she must destroy him at all costs. But using the supernatural powers at her command, and
