Terror Of The House In Dawn

chapter 6

It was quiet too quiet as the group walked towards the door, they all believed they'd be hunting a demon getting the security tapes and travel to the underworld.

But the room began to shift, dust fell from the ceiling and the floor trembled and rocked all of them darted there eyes across the room wondering what kind of spirit has taken hold of this room.

While Bright cell to the ground her hands covering her the back of her head while she screamed in agonizing pain.

That was when Don fell through the floor, Rory tried to use his ghost like powers to phase through but a green liquid covered him, engulfed him like a prison and he too disappeared through the floor

Robin holding her weapon stood her guard while Bright kept screaming.

She then looked at Robin and watched as boney looking hands reached up and grabbed Robins ankles and dragged her as well under the floor

Then the room turned black, no light, the room turned silent like all sound was removed not even Brights screams could be heard.

Only for a spot light to shine on Bright, she looked up to see a towering shadow above her with red glowing eyes, a hand reached towards beckoning her to shake it.

Both of them stared at each other not even dating to move from there spots.

"Unless we struck a deal your friends will die, all I need are your powers," the shadowy figure said.

Bright looked up at him only to scurry further into the shadows to hide from the figure, but the spotlight followed her everymovent.

"You won't die Issabella Bright I just need your power to regain my immortality, normally I'd get any run of the mill mediums powers but they only ever see the dead which is pointless to me,"

"After all I'm already dead aren't I?" He explained.

"Why my powers? What's unique about them?" Issabella asked painting.

The shadowy figure drew closer to Issabella face.

"I could have taken Robin or Rory in fact Rory is an ancient legend, but you? Even you don't know what your powers are,"

"Yes you can't see the dead but you can sense then, you can read peoplea mind not only can you sense the dead you can sense there weak points that how Don been able to snuff out the immaterials!" The figure explained.

"Not only that you can create illusions, familiars which quite frankly I haven't seen in decades, the most powerful of all you can keep the living from dying," the shadowy figure let out a maniacally laugh.

"But your not living?" She asked.

"True, true but with certain rituals I can back to life but with your powers I won't have as much harder time staying alive," the figure said while changing his size to be as small as issabella and sat next to her in a vein attempt to comfort Bright.

"You can't see the dead, but you can sense then, you can find there weak points summon familiars and keep the living from death, to be honest that a much better offering then Robins or Rory abilities and Don just a run of the mill human, I'm surprised he's made this far," he added.

"There's more isn't there?" Issabella asked curious of the figures interest in her powers.

"You can make spirits go poof, Dosent work on the living but it satisfies my own needs as I have made lot of enemies in the past and being to say bye bye to many particular ghosts I can just waltz right on in to the underworld throne,' the figure said while admiring his fingers
