To Catch A Cardinal

Chapter 13

*Nycole's Pov*

The blood was everywhere. It clouded my vision untill I bolted up right, sitting behind bars. Yo Fallon! Talk to meh!

Yes?

You explain what happened right now.

You became possessed by a demon that just so happens to be with Cardinal. But she plans to over throw her, Elza, thats her name, just needed to borrow your body but now she wants to get rid of you.

Anything else?

Oh, Your Ghost and Jimmy are one again due to Elza.

Welp, thats just great... I thought back. I looked around my red chamber. The door was made of bars but the rest was blood red wall. So if I bust down the door how many guards are there?

Two.

Chances of killing them?

100% possible.

Chance of making it out alive?

Uhh.... it's 50 50.

Thats good enough for me.

I stood up but then relized my feet where shackled. "Welp.... I need to fix that..." I mumbled to myself. I grabbed the chains and ripped them apart with ease. "Fixed it!" I said to myself. The chains where ripped apart but the actual things around my feet where still there, Ialso noticed that my shoes and socks where gone. "Well bare foot we go..." I mumbled and bent the bars apart to escape the cell.

The halls where empty but the two guards Fallon had talked about did show up. I only ment to knock them out but I forgot to hold back. Now there are two dead guards in an empty room.

I crept around untill I was very fimalier with the halls. I leaned on a wall and breathed silently. "How will I ever find the others?" I mumbled out loud.

"Hey, whats with your feet?"Asked a ghost who had floated over to me. She kinda looked like the other ghost girl we encountered who had needed the crystals, but with red and black clothes on. She landed lightly beside me. She put her hand on my shoulder, but her hand didn't go through me, instead she became human.

"Oh!" I half said and scrambled away from her. She looked hurt.

"Uhhhh.... Do you know where my brother is? I came looking for him again."

"Again? What do you mean by 'again'?" She sat down and sighed.

"I was a ghost here before, I had to touch another human to become human again. My name is Hannah Toast. But everyone calls me Kat."

"Ok, well, nice to meet you Hannah." I said.

"And your name is?"

"Nycole."

"Ok thats a nice name."

"I guess."

"Will you help me find my brother?" She asked out of nowhere.

"I can try. Is his name Johnny Toast?"

"Yep."

"Well join the boat. I'm looking for him too."

"Why?"

"Its a long story."

"Oh ok. Mine is kinda. My brother left me one day and he just never told me why. I waited and waited for him but he never came back. Never wrote, never called, nothing. So I tried to find him. But I died trying to. Now I wanna slap him so hard for leaving me."

"Huh. Well stick with me and you can slap him."

"Really? Thanks!"

"So. Got a weapon?"

"Not really."

"What do you want?"

"Daggers."

I pulled out some daggers from my belt and handed them to her along with a holder. "Your going to need these." I said and summoned my own staff. It had a speared tips with a blue rappings around it. It had some loose drapings around the ends with the blades.

"Woah.... how did you?"

"I'm a Spell Wanderer. Controller of the universe."

"Ok then, not gonna question."

"Great, but we should be moving. Or else they might find us."

"Who is they?"

"I'll explain as we go." She nodded and we walked down towards nowhere in particular. As we walked I explained about our trip to the underworld, how we got separated and everything else that had happened up untill this point.

"So, Cardinal and Elza are the bad people and you came here with two Johnnys, one of which is my brother, and the other has a split personally of a deadly killer. That all?"

"Mmm... just about...yep."

"Ok...." She started to talk about how she remembered very litlle but she thinks that we met her and she protected Ghost and died but for some reason got resurrected as a ghost. She figured out to become human she need to touch one and then she was here with me.

"Hmm... well that sounded interesting. But don't worry we can find him." She looked very happy at those words.

Ahhh....friendship.... it won't last long ya know.

We'll see. I thought as we continued down the halls of the fortress.
