In Search.

8.

I couldn't breathe, I woke up with Zak on top of me. I pushed him away and he snorted and kept sleeping, I got up and ran out the hallway I needed fresh air and time to think about last night. I stood out the balcony and saw Aaron puffing away on smoke "Looks like you had a bad night?" I glanced up at him rolled my eyes and laughed "Bad doesn't even cover it" I sat next to him and started talking "Is Zak always this confusing?" Aaron put out his smoke and came and sat next to me "Um no that's Zak, depending on what your issue is with him, he  blocks out people. He wasn't rude was he? Normally he freaks out when new people come with us on lockdowns, it rarely happens." I started to get anxious and started to fondle with my hands, how do you tell him that you and Zak made out and kinda said you both like each other? "He wasn't rude um, I dunno we ended up cuddling and fell asleep toge---" Aaron interrupted me "No way! That's crazy. That's interesting, he isn't normally like this with ladies!" I was worried now, Bill came out and joined in the conversation with us "So Ray, why is Zak in your bed? Remember the possessive spirit" Bill winked at me and my face went red, Aaron was swinging his head between Bill and myself. "We have time to talk about this now. Bill, Ray tell me!" Aaron stood up and sat down both of us and didn't let us leave. "Ray has cracked down on Zak's possessive spirit, it's Jerusha. She has been constantly around Zak ever since Ray came." Bill started to spill, Aaron looked at me "Has she said anything? Didn't we try and tell him it was her but he assured us it wasn't! Does he know this?" Aaron looked at Bill and asked him, "Guys, she led me to him. She came to me before I met Jeff. I spent days trying to contact the GAC but nothing, she came to me and guided me. She came to me last night before I found out who she was, she told me she wanted Zak. Then she came back and she was caressing Zak and told me she would fight for him but I'd win" I lowered my head into my hands, this was all getting too much. "Wow. She is giving him up cause she wouldn't stand a chance against you. Obviously Zak likes you more than perceived." Aaron raised his eyebrow and smirked.

It was time to head to the location, I had to stay at the hotel so the guys could find out the facts and then bring me in to see what I pick up. I had no idea where I was going, Ashley was going to come by later and take me. I stayed by the pool and was speaking to my friends over Facebook. They where giving me the gossip about my ex and his new fiance, it shattered my heart. I used to think I'd be walking down the aisle to him and having our happily every after, stupid cheating prick. As time progressed, I headed upstairs and got dressed. I waited for Ashley, she texted me letting me know she'll be late. I sighed, I walked over to Zak's bag and started peeking at it. There was more hats than clothes and under his hats was a diary. It seemed old, I had a peek and it had photos of these girls and hand written passages next to them. I knew it was wrong of me to look but I had to, there was this barbie looking doll girl, I saw the attraction guys saw. I read the passage '5 months. Was is true? No. Was it worth it? No. Someone who I pathetically used, I will be sorry for the rest of my life. I liked that fact she took my mind off someone I loved but lost. Someone I loved but never met. Doesn't make sense does it?' Sorry.' My mouth dropped, what in the hell is this? "Someone he loved but never met?" I started talking to myself, I heard a knock and quickly put his book under my bed I was definitely coming back to read this. I opened the door, she looked really happy and she was really friendly. We introduced ourselves and off we went, "Any hint on what this place is?" After all the horrors I've dealt with in the past 24 hours I would really like clues and a bit of notice about things. "Haha ah nope. It's got good history and fantastic evidence, I'm really interested how you will go. I've seen your work done, you're amazing." I blushed, I loved it when people commented on my work. The car stopped, we pulled up on a bridge that lead to a mansion. It was surrounded by tress, mist and death.

"Well, anything?" Ashley opened my door and guided me out of the car, "I don't like it. Satanic worships, murder, love, heart break it's all coming through to me." I looked at Ashley and her eyes widen, we started to head up and walked towards the guys. "Ash, Ray! Hello" Jay hugged Ash and he introduced himself to me. I got around to greeting them all and turned to Zak who was starring at me, I walked over and said hi. "You left me this morning, why?" His eyes didn't break his glance at me, he crossed his arms and tilted his head at me "Um I needed some fresh air and didn't want to wake you." True fact, Zak was suffocating me and I needed to get air asap. "Was I too much? I don't mean to be but" He started to hesitate "But what? Don't play with me. I understand if you only want t fool around, I get that having a female around freaks you out, you don't do relationships. How about we forget last night and just move on?" I broke a smile and made it look like it didn't bother me but I don't want to be another girl in a book that has some sad, depressing passage next to it. "I don't want to forget." He unfolded his arms and stormed off, I rolled back my eyes and turned towards the gang. Aaron and Bill giggled while Jay ran off to get Zak and Ashley was confused "Someone needs to let me know what's up, now!" Bill looked at Ash "Easy Ash, they like each other, simple." Bill was right, Jay returned without Zak so I went off and spoke to him "I'm sorry. This scares me, and I don't wanna hurt you." Zak didn't look at me but I could feel his pain, he scoffed "And I thought I'd hurt you. Let's go do this lock down interview shall we?" We all huddled around the houses door, camera was rolling.

"This investigation we have a guest, world known psychic Ray. We got the facts from David, the owner about the mansion so we're going to see if Ray can pick up the same energy and take us deeper into the past of Crisco Mannor. Let's go." Zak, Aaron, Bill, Jay and myself where in the building. It was intense, I could spot many things. We stood at the gigantic staircase "be careful going down, there's kids popping their heads around the corner and people have fallen down stairs." I zoned out and walked up the stairs. Zak confirmed to the camera that I was correct, I kept walking around the energy was bad. I went back downstairs and headed to a room that had been damaged by fire and hail storms. I stared at the floor, satanic drawings i knew it. "Zak flashlight middle of the room" Zak came in and flashed the light, we both saw a shadow run, Zak ran and jumped and I ran towards it. The entity started talking "GET OUT!" We all heard a hiss and ran for the hills, the walk through ended there. "This is going to be crazy Zak" Aaron rubbed his headed was questioning going back tomorrow night for lock down, "Dude it'll be fine." They all started to pack up the equipment, I stood back in the main doorway getting one more feel "I'm coming back." I exhaled and felt a shiver up my spine, I was stirring this thing up. My neck started burning so i rubbed it, blood had covered my hand and was dripping down my neck. Zak walked up and stood next to me, I turned to him with the blood pouring everywhere 'Holy shit Ray, come on!" We both ran "Jay! First aid now!" Jay grabbed it and helped Zak clean me up, Zak paused "3 scratch marks, mocking of the trinity. You've bee marked!" Aaron brought the camera and started rolling for the show. After I was cleaned we all headed back, Zak took Ashley's car and him and me left together. We sat in silence, then Zak spoke "I can't risk you getting hurt again, I don't want to you to be in the lock down." I turned my head and spoke "No. I'm going, it happened to me, it clearly is going to be good evidence if I'm there. Please Zak, I can handle it." I was begging, "Fine but you'll be next to me at all times" He cracked a smile and put his hand on my knee, "I would have it no other way" I blushed and kissed Zak's neck.
