Until the very end ~ Lockwood & Co

6. Ghost type 2

"Nearly there."
Lockwood grunted as he pulled out another piece of the wall.
"Hurry up !"
Lucy seemed to hear it like I felt , brutal and sadness. A lot of the most horrible feelings I ever felt.
"Here it comes."
With a hard hit , the wall broke and Lockwood and Lucy felt to the ground . I could save myself in the last second , making a big jump away from the wall.
"My sword !"
Lucy started searching for her sword as the ghost started to move towards Lockwood.
"Anthony !"
I grabbed my sword and made a big jump forward, making the ghost disappear.
But in the same time , Lucy grabbed after one of the ghost bombs throwing it towards us. It hits me , making me groan in pain as it burned trough my jacked and touched my arm for a second .
I fell on my side as I clamped my arm . Even though the bombs are mad to hurt ghosts , they could destroy other things too. Like the books in the room, which started to catch fire.
"Fuck, fuck, fuck."
I murmured pushing myself up, hissing in pain as I moved my arm. Lockwood stood up too, looking around in panic.
"That's not good."
"Oh really !
I think it's delightful."
I snapped at him, still holding my arm. Lucy looked around , suddenly her eyes widened .
"That's her !"
We all looked to the broken wall.
"The body is the source ! We'll hold her back. You get a silver net over it."
I wanted to whine like a little child. Why do I need to fight a ghost in a burning house now ? Like can't we just leave ?
"In other words plan F."
"That's not plan F."
Lucy sighed .
"Uhm.. I mean Plan... B."
"Plan B are Salt bombs.
She's too strong for that."
"Oh my God !
We all understand now , that the system is dumb and we need a new one . Now both of you shut the fuck Up and do your work !"

As if the Ghost would have understood my words , she came flying towards me. I grabbed my sword harder and started to draw the pattern in the air.
Lucy finally covered the corps, making the ghost disappear.
"Cmon !"
I screamed , making my way to the window.
I already started coughing Form the fire.
"Lucy, hurry !"
I left thought the door , now standing on a balcony.
I didn't really care what they were taking about right now.
"Agreed.
We should jump while there's something left to him from."
Jump ? I don't fucking think so.
"Jump ? You must be mad."
I totally agree.
"We're way too high. We'll break our necks."
EXACTLY!
"Ready ?
One, two, three."
I watched as they both jumped, still standing on the edge of the building. I wasn't going to jump.
My legs were shaking from just watching. Maybe this was my moment to leave. Before I could think about it , something behind me exploded, making me fall forward. With one high pitched scream , I fell, before everything went black.

I woke up in a hospital.
It took me a second to recall what happened before I realized I needed to get out of here. When my parents find out where I'm then...
I looked out of the window of the room. No nurse to be seen. I stood up , ripping everything which didn't belong to me off me. My cloths laid next to my bed.
As I was about to leave ( ignoring the pain in my whole body) I saw a coat hanging over one of the chairs. That's Lockwood , right ?
Quickly I put it on, making sure they covered the clothes from the hospital, before leaving the room.
I sneaked through the floors, until I finally found the exit. It was cold outside, already night. I knew it was dangerous to go now but something about this hospital scared me, so I didn't really care. I walked trough the night, basically waiting for a ghost to touch me until I finally made it somehow to my home. I knocked onto the door, waiting patiently.
Now feeling safe, standing on the doorstep of my home.
"We're already closed, come back tomorrow if you want us to work for you."

George stopped death in track as he saw me.
"Hel!"
I smiled at him.
"Could I come in ?"
He nodded, stepping to the side as I came into the building.
"I call Lockwood ! He's in his room. He will be so exited to see you !"
George hugged me and then wanted to walk upstairs but I stopped him.
"Don't bother.
I talk to him tomorrow. I just want to sleep."
I stood on my tip toes, pressed a kiss to George's cheek and then made my way upstairs. The pain in my leg was immense but I somehow made it to my bed. I passed out the second I touched my covers.
