The Medium

Prolog

  A young girl with her mother were walking down a beaten path in the dark, the sky was cloudless. The stars shown bright in the sky and the moon was full. The window blew gently, rustling the leaves. The young blonde haired girl looked up at her mother and grabbed her hand. She was wearing a yellow sundress and flip flops.

  "Momma? Where are we going?" she asks. The mother looks down at her and smiles.

  "We're going to see an old friend of mine sweetie." she says.

  "I'm scared momma."

  "It's okay Eleanor. Genevieve is a very nice woman. She isn't going to hurt you." says the mother as the came up on an old wooden house. Eleanor hugged her mother's arm. Her mother laughed at her daughter. As they came closer to the house Eleanor heard the sound of a baby bird. She turned her head and saw a baby bird laying on the ground. 

  "Oh no." she says running over to the bird. She gently picks up the bird. "Awe, your wing is broken. You poor thing."

  "Eleanor what are you doing?"

  "Momma this baby birds wing is broken. Can we take it home and nurse it back to health?" asks Eleanor looking up at her mom.

  "I don't know Eleanor. That's a lot of responsibility, do you think you can handle it?" 

  "Momma I take care of Snowball all the time." 

  "Honey, Snowball is a hamster."

  "So. I want to help this birdy. Please momma." begged Eleanor.

  "Oh come on Jada. She's proven to be a very responsible young girl. And that's why I have a special gift for her." says a woman walking over to Eleanor and Jada. She had long braided black hair and green eyes. She wore a grey shirt, black jacket, and a long black skirt.

  "Who are you?" asks Eleanor.

  "I'm Genevieve. Your mother and I are very good friends." says Genevieve. She kneels down with Eleanor. "I can tell you have a pure heart. So I want to give you a very special gift."

  "What is it?" asks Eleanor.

  "It's the ability to see and speak to ghosts. You will help those in need, those who have unfinished business will come to you for help. It will be passed down through the women in your family, but it will skip a generation each time." says Genevieve. She places her hand on Eleanor's head and says a chant. Once she finishes the chant she takes her hand off of Eleanor's head.

  Eleanor started feeling weird, she couldn't explain the feeling. Then her head started swimming, her vision blurring. She could hear her mothers voice faintly calling her name. The sides of her vision started blurring and turning black.

  "Momma." whispered Eleanor as she blacked out. Jada picked up Eleanor and rushed her back home.

  A few hours after Genevieve giving Eleanor her gift, she woke up in her room. She sat up in bed and looked around. What she saw made her scream. There were three ghosts in her room. One of them was a woman with brown hair, another one was a man with red curly hair and the last one was a little girl with red hair, they were all slightly transparent. Eleanor's door flew open and Jada ran in and over to Eleanor's side.

  "What's wrong sweetie?"

  "G-ghosts. I can see three of them." says Eleanor making the ghosts look at her.

  "She can see us?" asks the woman.

  "Uh... yeah I can see you. I can hear you too." says Eleanor.

  "Wow! No one has been able to see or hear us since we passed away." says the little girl.

  "Eleanor who are you talking too?" asks Jada.

  "The ghosts momma. Genevieve really did give me the ability to see and talk to the dead." says Eleanor.

  A/N: Hope you guys enjoyed the prolog here. It gets more interesting later on in the story. So I hope you guys stick around to find out what happens. This is kinda like Ghost Whisperer, but it's different too. I just got the inspiration from the show.
