**LAYLA POV**
Cough.
Cough cough.
Cough.
Cough cough cough.
Heavy breathing.
A pair of heavenly lips descend on mine. The softest lips just melting against mine. Zayn sure knew how to take a girls breath away. My knees felt weak and I knew I would collapse under the pressure of his lips. Last time, we were in a car and I didn't need to worry that my knees would fail me. I put my arms around his neck and his went around my waist. Suddenly Zayn sucks almost all the oxygen out of me then backs up. Blowing it out over my shoulder. I look at him quizzically as I suck in a huge breath. What is he up to?? Then he's lips return to mine and I feel like melting again. But then he does it again. This time when he backs away, I take a step back too. "What are you doing?" I ask. "Trying to clear your lungs. I'm a smoker. I can last here longer than you can" he smirked. "I don't think you can do that, Zee. I love you for trying but humans can't do that"
"Zayn, do you have insurance on this house?" Uncle Salie asked. "No, but I have my parents money. I'm the sole survivor. I inherited everything on my 18th birthday" he replied as the smoke began to fill the room we were in. "Then you are able to buy yourself a new place to live?" Aunt Zarine asked, motherly-concerns filling her face. Zayn nodded, "A place to rent" "Wait, aunt, uncle, I'm thrilled that you're helping but why? Zayn's the you died" I said softly. I found it oddly strange that they'd help him. I wouldn't. "Because its not for Zayn. We're doing this for YOU" said a voice behind me. I turned around slowly, too scared I was hallucinating. But I wasn't. It was really her.
Aminah.
"I took the liberty of summoning her too. Only a ghost can fight a ghost. I figured, Aminah would LOVE to kick Aisha's ass" Zayn said as he hugged me. Silent tears fell from my eyes as I stared at Aminah, she looked happy. "I'm so sorry" I whispered. "Don't be. You didn't kill me. The bitch outside did" Aminah replied and motioned for us to move into the last smoke free room. "Look, she's waiting for Zayn. So Zayn, wait until the house is completely covered in smoke then jump through the window. Look STRAIGHT at her then call us" Aminah instructed. "But won't she stay away?" I asked. "Smart girl," uncle Salie pointed out, "Yes, yes she will. But when she sees us NOT coming. She'll think you sent us away" "But I didn't" a smile began growing on my face. "I'll get her from behind. Aunt, uncle, you guys protect Zayn and Layla" Aminah stated. "And me?" I asked. "I have a special job for you, baby sis" Aminah smiled. "What do I need to do?" I asked. Aminah smiled an evil grin and my heart raced because I KNEW what went through her mind when she smiled like that.

Zayn jumped through the window and coughed like crazy. He crawled a few feet away from the house then looked at the house. He looked out to the street and, sure enough, Aisha stood there. Smirking. "Shit. Zarine! Salie!" Zayn shouted, battling to stand up. Aisha looked worried for a moment. Zayn looked panicked then looked to the house and yelled, "Zarine!!! SALIE!!!" But they didn't come out. He was alone. Aisha smiled then walked through the gates and made her way to Zayn. "Wait, no no. Wait. Aisha, Layla is still inside!" Zayn coughed. Aisha shrugged, "Collateral damage" "Aisha, help her! Please!" Zayn yelled. "If she dies, she gets her sister. I'll be doing her a favour by letting her die" Aisha laughed. She reached Zayn and picked him up by his throat. "You've no idea how long I've been waiting to do this" she grinned and lifted him even higher. "True. I've waited 5days" Aminah said as Aminah pulled her to the ground by her hair. Aminah placed a heel on her back and lifted her arms so high, it almost snapped off. "Now, Layla!" Aminah yelled. I jumped out the open window with Zayns massive bag of salt and ran to them. "NO!" Demon voiced Aisha yelled and the wind blow so strong against me I almost lost my footing. Uncle Salie appeared and blocked the wind? I don't even know if that's possible but he seemed to block most of the strong wind. Moving in front of me while aunt Zarine moved behind me. They were protecting me. I reached Aminah and Aisha in seconds. I instantly began making a salt circle around them. I made it thick. So thick, she'd need to actually concentrate really hard to have the strength to blow it aside. Zayn crawled out of the circle just as I closed it. "Fight me, bitch" Aminah laughed as she released Aisha. Aisha's eyes pulsed red and the ground began shaking. "Keep the circle closed and we'll protect you!" Aunt Zarine yelled at us. I gave Zayn the second bag of salt and he ran to stand on the opposite side of the circle. Aunt Zarine stood behind him and uncle Salie stood by me.
Aminah fly kicked Aisha so hard in the jaw, it wasn't human. "I had no clue you knew karate" I gasped. "Being dead has its perks" Aminah laughed. "I've been dead longer" Aisha hissed and kicked Aminah in the stomach, it sent her flying against the walls of the salt circle. It look as though she'd been thrown in to a cement wall. "You were stupid to lock yourself in this circle with me!" Aisha laughed. "Maybe, maybe not" Aminah replied and ran over to her. Connecting her fist to Aisha's face. Aisha didn't have a chance, she was on the floor in seconds. "That tickled" Aisha said, standing up and cracking her neck. She tackled Aminah, pinned her to the floor and repeatedly hit her in the neck. Neither one was bleeding, for neither one was living. But it sure hurt. Aminah got her one arm free and smashed her elbow into Aisha's temple. Once Aisha was down, Aminah jumped up and shoved her stiletto heel through Aisha's stomach. "Urgh.." Aisha gasped as she lost her breath. Aminah removed it and backed up. Aisha stood up slowly and dusted herself up. She wasn't bleeding. Of cause not. She wasn't alive. Aisha smirked and looked at me. "LAYLA!!" Zayn screamed. I turned around quickly and saw the courtyard tree on its way down. Down on me. "Not on my watch" uncle Salie said and stood between the tree and myself. The tree froze in midair then went back up and fell in the opposite direction. I looked back to Aminah just in time to see her hit Aisha in the back of the head so hard she went face first into the ground. "Not my sister, you little demon" Aminah hissed. Aisha got back up and hit Aminah in the face which sent Aminah tumbling a few steps back. "So what?! Since neither of us can die, again, will we stay here fighting until Judgment day?!" Aisha screamed. "No, I just wanted to beat you up a bit for killing me" Aminah smiled then looked at Zayn. "Now!" Aunt Zarine yelled as she and uncle Salie floated into the circle and held Aisha tight. "Mommy, no, kanala" Aisha cried as they clutched her. "Daddy!" Aisha screamed as the tears fell. "Don't do this! Mommy, daddy! I'll go to hell!" Aisha screamed. "If that's where you are meant to be, then you shall go there" uncle Salie replied. He's heart was breaking. Aunt Zarine was barely keeping it together. They were sending their daughter to hell. What parents' heart wouldn't be breaking? "Salaam, baby sis. Look after mom and dad, yeah?" Aminah smiled at me. The tears fell but I nodded. "Shukran. Shukran for all of this" I whispered to Aminah. To uncle Salie. To aunt Zarine. "Do it NOW, baby doll. Aisha's stronger than us" aunt Zarine said with pain in her voice. Zayn looked at me and nodded. I nodded back and we chanted,
"Omnes tibi gratias agimus et ducibus opem O spiritus. Sed suo tempore valere te iubeo, et pace in vita futura. Revertere unde venistis. Fiat caelum vel infernum, fiat. Terra amplius pateat regnum tuum. Obsecro, Domine, spiritus redeat in regnum sacer orbe, ex quibus sal fugit. Gratias agimus tibi!"
"IM SORRY!!" I screamed as a white cloud descended and one by one they all disappeared. As soon as they were gone, Zayn appeared before me. "Its going to be okay" he whispered as he sat next to me and cried with me. Lord knows how long we sat there. Just crying. Crying for loss of his family. For my sister. For my aunt and uncle. For Danielle. For the reason my sister was adopted. Even for the loss of the good person Aisha was BEFORE death.
We just cried.
