Poveglia Island (GAC Story)

One

"So where should we go next?" Jackie asked, sitting on the couch in Aaron's living room.

"Take it easy right now, Jackie." Zak said. "We just got back from another investigation. We'll figure something out eventually, just not at the moment."

She only nodded, taking out her phone. They just recently got back from The Riviera hotel a few hours ago. They were all pretty exhausted, especially Aaron, who attracted ghosts the most out of the rest of the group. Even though it's something they dealt with before, it still affects them a lot when something like that happens.

Nick came out by them, Lily trailing behind him. "Hey Jackie, can I talk to you for a second?"

She nodded, Zak walking into his room down the hallway.

"What's up?" Jackie asked, sitting up on the couch. They sat next to her, showing something on his phone.

"I just found this place again recently and I wanted to talk to you both about it." He said, looking back at Lily. "Might not exactly make you happy though."

She raised an eyebrow. "What do you mean? Is it Bobby Mackey's?"

"Oh no." Nick chuckled. "Not that place ever again."

Jackie read what was on his phone, her eyes wide. "Poveglia.." She breathed.

"You serious??" Lily asked. "Out of all places, it has to be the one where Zak got possessed?!"

She still remembers that moment when she saw it on TV, and it's one she won't forget. When Nick turned the camera to Zak, who looked extremely pissed, to when he went angry, calling Aaron words she didn't want to remember. Then he almost broke the camera, ripping something off of it, and Nick trying to calm him down. She still see Zak all shaken up after it was over, making her slightly shudder on the inside.

"That's why I want to keep it from him until we leave..I guess you can call it a surprise." Nick said.

Jackie scoffed. "Yeah a surprise of death, basically."

"I already talked about it with Aaron before he fell asleep." Nick said. "He said he's down for it, so that's why I'm asking you guys."

"Look..I know you want to go back there." Lily began, trying to stay calm. "But..I don't know..I get that I've only seen it on TV but...I just don't know..considering what happened.."

"I get it." Nick said. "But if we do go..it'll be the last time for that place. I promise."

Jackie sighed in defeat, handing him back his phone. "I guess if you want to go..then I'm in..looks interesting yet scary at the same time since I also saw it on TV."

They looked over to Lily, who shrugged, shaking her head. "I guess if everyone else is gonna go...then I guess I will too.."

Nick smirked at her, patting her shoulder. "Thanks, guys..just don't say anything about this to Zak, okay? We'll probably be leaving tomorrow at some point."

They both nodded, and Nick walked off back to his room.

"I am so not ready for this.." Lily said, running her hands through her hair. "I'm just scared that the same thing will happen to him again..only worse."

"Which is why we'll keep an eye on him for sure. I'm sure you will too, since you love him." Jackie said with a smirk, her hand on her shoulder. "And if it does..we'll be ready for it this time."

"I'm sure Zak will flip.." She said.

Jackie nodded. "I wouldn't doubt it."

Lily suddenly stood. "I'm gonna go get some rest..I'm exhausted."

With that, she headed to her and Zak's room, still thinking about how he will flip and probably get pissed at them for not telling him they're heading back to one of the most darkest places on Earth.
