'Ash? Come on, you've got to wake up.'
Ash grunted, lifting her hand to her head.
'Thank God.'
'I wouldn't thank him just yet,' she said, finally figuring out how to open her eyelids.
'What just happened?' The Deputy pulled her to her feet, gripping her shoulders when she wobbled.
'My sister just got possessed. That's what just fucking happened,' she grumbled.
'Possessed? You've got to be kidding.'
Ash glared at him. 'Is there anything about my face that says I'm joking?'
He gulped and looked away. 'No. But she didn't take off her necklace?'
'She's more powerful than that necklace and they weren't ordinary lingering spirits. They were vindictans.'
'What?'
'I'll explain when we're in the car,' she reasoned, already heading for the door.
As they ran through the building, the flickering ghosts of the other two forms appeared and watched as they passed.
'Why aren't they doing anything?' The Deputy huffed as they skidded out of the front door.
'Because they've already got what they wanted. Ghosts can't possess just anybody, they have to possess someone who is able to pass through the veil. And I bloody gift wrapped her for them,' she cursed.
They threw themselves into the car and were tearing down the road before the Deputy realised he had no idea where they were going.
'And how do you propose we find her?'
'After the last time in the graveyard, I made sure I could track her phone.'
The Deputy drew a hand over his face. 'Do I even want to know if that's legal?'
'Probably not.'
'My life was much simpler when I didn't know you.'
'Are you really expecting me to argue?' she said, tapping her credentials into the app and allowing it to track down her sister. 'Take a left here.'
She held onto her seat as the Deputy took the turn sharper than she expected.
'Now explain. What are these ventus things?'
'Vindictans are vengeful spirits. Their deaths are always traumatic and they blame another for their passing. If they get strong enough, they can appear in an indistinct form to everyone, not just those like Jess.'
'What makes them strong?'
'Take the next right,' she commanded. 'It's usually tied to the strength of their personality, the length they've been dead, and how likely they are to get retribution for their death. To name just a few reasons.'
