I had awoken from whatever strange gasses that were used to black out Brittany and I. I saw Brittany lying lifelessly next to me as I realized where we were. We were in another parking ramp, this time not at the bottom. We were at the top being held hostage.
As I roll over to see if Brittany still had a pulse I felt dizzy. It’s as if someone or something had trapped us in this weird stage. It’s almost as if someone knew we had followed them to the other ramp, thinking we were going to expose them.
“Britt you must wake up there are people here trying to talk to us” I hollered.
Four people standing in front of us. They all looked as if they were leaders of something. They all demanded for us to tell them what we heard. All I could have done at that point was try to stand up and not puke. I was so scared and had no idea what was going on. My life was suddenly changed forever.
As each person standing in front of us introduced themselves I realized that they were the spirits of the family that started all of the decedents. Morgan suddenly recognized us claiming we were one of her own, that we were spirits.
“If we are spirits then why are the rest of them here?”
Morgan only replied with a nod. That didn’t help me much. She told her brothers and sister that there was no danger of their secret getting out unless they wanted to become dead. As Morgan turned back to us Brittany started to come out of the mysterious gas that had knocked her out in the first place.
As soon as she fully came out of the gas she was frantic. She didn’t know where she was or how she got there. She looked at me then at Morgan and had a confused look on her face. By the time Brittany woke up Morgan’s two brothers and sister had vanished. Suddenly Morgan dropped to the floor dead.
That must have meant she had just turned 16 right in front of us. I felt so bad. It must have been a sign that right before she turned 16 she would find her descendants. As we pieced this together we realized it was past three. We were going to get chewed out by mom.
As we started to walk down the parking ramp mom was in her car coming up the ramp as if she were to park and come find us. It’s almost as if she had put a chip in us and tracked us. Wait, she tracked us. It can’t be, I don’t understand why she wouldn’t tell us. She must be a spirit hunter. As a matter of face I know she is. She was getting up earlier and she didn’t sleep as much. She also was on call and got called in frequently. I know her work and they wouldn’t call her in past midnight.
After that we soon hurried down the ramp, taking two steps at a time. We had descended three floors within minutes. As soon as we hit ground we dashed out the door and headed straight home. We had beaten out mother home by near seconds.
“Britt if mom’s a hunter and we are both spirits what does that make Jacob?” I remarked.
“Well there are only four choices. He has to be one of them. Given the fact that he always listens and does what he is told I would say he is a listener. You agree?”
“Completely. It seems accurate. That must mean that out father was a tracker and when he found out that we were spirits he left so he wouldn’t hurt us.”
As mom walked in the house she looked furious. She rushed up the stairs and grabbed one of each of our arms and pulled us into her room. She started talking about the time.
“How did you know where we were?” Britt asked
“Yea we know you are hiding something” I added in.
“Alright fine I will tell you. Our whole family was related to the spirit family in some way. I am a hunter. I never wanted to tell you because I didn’t want you to be afraid of me. Dad left us so he wouldn’t hurt me or any of you. He didn’t want to leave but once he could tell you were spirits he left after getting me pregnant with a spirit listener. I had known that we all were different.” Mom replied ashamedly.
“That must be why we are so close with each other and so different from the rest of this family” We replied at the same time.
“I knew where you were going last night even when you said you were going to a friend’s house. I was also going to the same place I just didn’t let you see me. This family is already separate as it is and I didn’t want it to become worse. The next meeting I will take you two and Jacob.”
