A/N this will be a short chapter but there is a surprise in the next chapter coming!

Lucy's POV
No sooner had I said the word source than books, ornaments and picture frames came flying from every direction. "Duck!" Lockwood yelled an pulled me down to the floor. I jumped straight back up shielding my head from a passing picture frame with my rapier. "I need to seal the source!" I said as I ran back down to the basement, I made a chain circle with the chains I had grabbed before coming down and closed my eyes trying to block out the whirlwind that was commencing outside. I ran my hand along the wall and knocked it as I did, one of the knocks sounded different from the rest, more hollow, so without hesitation I began to kick the wall. Eventually the plaster gave in and I made a small hole. In the hole was a little brown music box that was glowing faintly blue, I quickly pulled an iron seal from my belt and placed the music box in it. I shut the lid and the uproar stopped. I ran back out to Lockwood who was lying on the floor unconscious, I ran to him starting to panic but when lifted his wrist to check his pulse his hand was already blue and swollen. He had been ghost touched.
                          
I phoned the ambulance immediately and they were here in 5 minutes flat. Lockwood was given an adrenaline shot and loaded on to the ambulance. I stayed by his side and never left it, I held his hand too. Six days after the incident and he still hadn't woken up. I was starting to worry about him, George came to visit and leave me food seeing as I hadn't ate or slept in six days. Then finally one day Lockwoods eyes fluttered open and he said my name. "Lockwood? Lockwood! I'm here!" I said in shock, "I was so worried about you." He glanced down at my hand in his. "I can tell," he grinned, I pulled my hand back and stuck my tongue out as him, he laughed. "So when can I go home?" He queried.
"You are free to go home now Mr Lockwood," a nurse said walking in as if on que.

Lockwood was released later that day and we got a taxi home, as we walked through the front door we heard two voices in the kitchen one belonging to George and another which was unidentifiable from the hall. We walked into the kitchen and I gasped in shock at the person who turned to face me. "James?" I said astonished, "what are you doing here?"
"Hey Lucy I came here to ask if you would like to go out to tea with me?"
I hesitated at first,"Ummm... Sure! I don't see why not!"
"Great! Say 5:30 tonight?"
"Sure!"
Ok great! See you then bye Lucy!" And with that he left. I ran upstairs to get ready for my date, wait date? Was it a date? I wondered. I shrugged and went to get ready for my maybe, maybe not date!
