Jess pulls back," A WEEK?! IT WAS ONLY AN HOUR!" She screams at me. "No a week..." I say. Her face goes red with anger. I've never seen her like this," Really Kelly?! You could have told me time travels slower in the Hell!" She says and stomps her foot.
"Jess calm down!" I say in hope she would. "Wait! Does that mean it when? January First?" She asks. "New Years Day yes." Toast answers. Lemon comes running down from upstairs. He runs over to Jess. She's covered with blood but still scoops him up.
"Hi little Lemon! Hi...." She says in a higher tone. "Wow, my birthday is soon Sir!" I hear Toast from behind me. "Like I would forget Johnny!" I say. He chuckles. "When's your Birthday?" Jessica asks petting Lemon. Me and Toast say it at the same time," January 12."
She nods and sets down lemon. "I'm gonna go wash this blood off and catch a few Zs." She says heading upstairs. I nod and wave a little. Marisbel is lying on the couch. She has a few holes in her shirt though, I'll ask Jess to help her into some clothes. Them something catches my eye on her stomach.
I look a little closer to see its a tattoo. It's a triangle and in the center there is the number 20. I look away and feel weirded out. Where have I seen that symbol? I have seen it a lot. Then I hear Jimmy in my head.
YES YOU HAVE
I run upstairs and grab my bag. It's sitting on my night stand. I dump everything out and look through. Not First Aid kit, not Ghost gear, Not bandages. There's nothing in it. I put my hand in my pocket and pull out my knife.
I look at it closely, and that's where I see it. That same exact symbol is on my knife. I hear Casket laugh in my head.
'What did you do?!'
He laughs more and says,
SURPRISINGLY NOTHING
I sit down and just look at my knife. Why do I feel so wrong about this. I hear a knock on my door. I quickly shove my knife in my pocket and say," Come in!" Jess walks in," You k?" I nod. "You look really tired," she adds. I know I'm blushing, I really can't tell her why I haven't slept really.
"Yeah I haven't slept in a week," I say weakly. "Guess what, neither have I." She says walking out. What did she mean before about time is slower in hell? How did she thinks it's only been a hour. I feel my self grow slowly tired. I just walk to the bathroom to wash off the little blood I got from Jess.
When I'm back in my room I'm exhausted, it's only mid day too. I set my alarm for an hour and decide to take a nap. I jump into bed and fall sleep. I wake up by Toast shaking me. "What?" I say sitting up. "Marisbel won't wake up and she keeps screaming and flinching Sir!" He informs me.
I sit up and run downstairs with him. Jess is already there trying to wake her. She is flinching and squirming. She screams out," GET AWAY FROM ME!!" Jess jumps a little. Marisbel screams out in pain. "How long has she been doing this?!" I shout at them. "A few minutes!" Toast shouts back.
Marisbel shoots up from her sleep. Her eyes go from there brown color to white. She looks at all of us and her eyes turn back. She looks in pain. "Marisbel!" Toast keeps screaming at her. She looks up and me and panics. She rips away from Jess who was holding her arm and almost attacks me. I jump out of the way and she brings her knife I gave her out. Her eyes narrow at me. Toast and Jess grab her arms as she goes to attack me.
She screams at them," LET ME GO!" They don't listen. She yells in frustration. "YOU LIED!" I jump back. She kicks Toast in the shin and he lets go enough for her to shake him off. She turns away and kicks Jess in the side sending her to the ground.
I feel Jimmy and have a feeling that Trix is annoying Jess to cause her hands turn to fists. I dodge as Marisbel almost tackles me. She gets to the door, she runs out without turning. "What the Heck?!" Jess yells running after her. I grab her arm before she has the chance to get to the door.
"Let Go! We have to get Her!" Jess yells at me. "She'll attack you! Something has her spooked badly! I'll go get her!" I say trying to convince her. Lemon goes to run out and Jess grabs him. She nods at me. I start to run the direction Marisbel ran. Toast follows me.
I run down the block, there isn't much to find. I isn't like Trix where you can just listen for screams. There is hardly anything but if you can see her. Luckily I still can. Toast passes by me and we run at equal speed. That when I can't see her anymore.
