Property line

Crazed eyes met yours as Montana closed in on the four of you, dragging a man's limb with her left hand and clutching that same kitchen knife in her right.

She flung the dead meat on the floor when she saw Brooke and charged at the poor girl.

Brooke whimpered, clutching her side as she began to sprint away from Montana and towards the arch.

"Oh god," Xavier says, "Can't let go of a grudge after all this time..."

Xavier rolled his eyes as if it was barely anything and glanced towards you.

You were so taken back by his casual behaviour that you missed Montana passing you which meant now you had no way of helping Brooke.

The girl cried out in pain as she hobbled over the property line, her pace not slowing.

"Maddison! Do something!!!" You yell, racing after Montana hopelessly.

Brooke was already loosing blood, this wouldn't make things any better at all.

Suddenly Montana stopped and bounced back as if she'd hit a brick wall.

You span round to glance at Maddison to say thanks but she raised her hands in the air as if to say, "Not me,"

"Bloody boundary lines," Montana says yelling in anguish, throwing her knife on the floor.

Brooke stopped running away to watch Montana, more confused than ever.

As the metal clattered along the concrete, you bend down to pick the knife up before Montana noticed.

Montana was dangerous with and without a knife.

Montana crumpled to the floor, running her hands through her frizzy bleached blonde hair.

Xavier walked up from behind you and began talking to explain what was going on.

"That's part of what makes us ghosts," He explained, "We can't leave the property and we can't be killed.. well... sort of."

Xavier held his hand out and you gave him the knife.

To your shock, he slit his throat before you could even comprehend it, immediately collapsing to the floor as a limp cadaver.

You gasp but when you look away from the body, you see Xavier standing above it.

"We always come back, trust me I've tried." Xavier says, his body had now vanished from the floor leaving no trace at all.

"There are other traits to ghosts, we don't eat or sleep, we can make ourselves visible to humans as we wish, it sounds pretty cool apart from the never leaving here,"

"Montana's the same, so are the others like Chet and Ray but they're keeping watch right now," Xavier continues.

"Keeping watch, what do you mean?" You ask.

"Hey, enough about us, how are you so young over 30 years since we last saw you?" Xavier asks.

"Okay, it's a long story..." You say and begin to explain the full story of 2018, the witches, the antichrist, Mallory and time travel.

"So you were from the future all along??" Xavier says, wide eyed before they narrowed, "So you knew we were going to die?"

"No, I literally had no idea," You say, quickly reassuring him even though you kind of did.

"Come on," Maddison says, "Think about Brooke, we have to get her to the healers."

You quickly nod a goodbye to Xavier and you share a smile as you and Maddison exit the property line to catch up with Brooke.

"Wait," Maddison says, letting go of your arm and running back to Xavier, "Here's my number, call me okay?"
