Let us find the light

chapter 8

"Hunt!"

Skizz's scream over the radio snapped Gem and apparently Impulse out of there trance. They looked at each other before then ran for the closet. They heard the sofa topple over downstairs. This was supposed to be an easy job. The GIGGS crew normally worked on insanity gigs, but today they took a professional one because no one would take it after someone said it was an aggressive ghost. It also felt way too early for a hunt.

"Hunt over!"

"Scars out."

Slice followed Grian's words. They never once lost a member of their team. Never once had they had to fill in the sheet for a death. That's what they were known for, the hardest jobs with no casualties. Skizz's voice was quiet.

"Get back to the van."

Gem turned to leave the room but Impulse didn't move. She grabbed his hand and led him outside and back to the van. Grian was on the floor a sheet over a figure - scar - beside him, tears staining his cheeks as he cried silently. Skizz sat on the desk unshed tears in his eyes. Once Skizz saw the state Impulse was in he opened his arms and held him. Gem stood near the doors of the van. Even though she had been on the team for months. She still felt ditched from them. Of course she was distraught that she loved Scar.

The way he mispronounced things, the way he never ceases to make her smile, his hugs, the nights talking on the phone, the random pictures of Jellie, everything about Scar screamed home. That was when a thought hit her, they were on a professional two evidence, one cursed object. They hadn't had time to locatie it yet. But if she found it there may be a chance to bring Scar back. She turned and started to exit the van.

"Gemstone, where are you going?"

"Back in"

"That's against prodigal Gems."

"When have I ever followed the rules of this stupid company, Grian."

"Gem you can't, we have to fill out the papers then return to base."

"No Impulse I don't care that you are team leader, either we leave with five or I dont leave at all."

Gem slammed the doors and locked them from the outside, making the boys trapped inside. There was a bang on the door.

"Gemini open the door now we are leaving."

But she ignored Impulse and sprinted to the house.

"Gemini!"

She heard her radio go but she ignored it as she checked rooms. She opened one of the rooms and there in the windowsill was a monkey's paw. She grabbed it and the doors slammed shut. There wasn't a closet in the room. She sprinted to where the closest closet was. She felt a cold clawed hand wrap around her wrist. She screamed.

"I wish for life!"

They cucked the monkey paw at teh demon and it let go giving her enough time to get to the closet and slam the door, quickly she checked off the demon in her book and screamed as one of the most painful feelings overtook her. She seized as she felt her back life off the floor before slamong back onto the ground as everything went black.
