The Click

Night in

They continued their way towards the main hall, where they found the others waiting for them.

Marco and Nathan seemed to be having a slight conversation while Lexy was staring the stairs up to the second floor deep in thought.

Jack called out to them to catch their attention which he "slightly" succeeded. Nathan and Marko had turned their hands towards him and were waiting for him to speak but he had his attention towards Lexy.

She continued to stare at the stairs her eyes darting from here to there as if she was following something with her eyes.

Jack slowly approached her and moved his eyes to the spot she was staring.

At first he wasn't able to see what was catching her attention but giving it a second, more thorough look he was able to see ethereal figures moving across in quick movements, sometimes they would even slow down and become clearer but it wasn't that ,that made Jack moving towards the spot as if under a spell.

There among the million of figures was one standing unmoving. The figure of a woman so stunning her face clearer than the rest.

Jack could hear his companions calling out to him as if in a dream but he didn't remove his gaze for a moment.

Lexy was able to remove her eyes from there the moment Jack approached her. This whole while she was staring there for no reason like someone had a knife in her back and was commanding her to stay there until Jack came.

And as soon as he did he seemed lost. The whole situation had started to feel of. When Jack started heading to the stairs she started calling out to him but he wouldn't listen at all. The others joined in the shouting but none dared to interrupt.

It was highly dangerous and so; the only thing they could do for their leader was call out to him while he was apparently mesmerized by which ever spirit had taken him under its spell.

And while they were all shouting, Jack continued his way. In a bit he had reached the staircase and started going up until he reached her.

So beautiful and ethereal. He would gladly kill them all if she just asked him. A giggled escaped the woman's mouth.

"Not just yet my beloved" she murmured. "For now rest; make them trust you then you ..." Her words dissolved unable to reach his ears even if he was standing just there.

Then she kissed his cheek. "You are forever mine my beloved" upon saying these her form disolved.

Jack fully awake now touched his cheek and then turned on his heel eyeing his companions. A smirk made its way on his face and bloodfull thoughts about his friends appeared again in his head.

He went to them acting aloof. His friends rounded him and started asking him what happened. The only answer they got was that it must have been the usual compulsion stuff that ghosts do or whatever, nothing special  and that the ghost must be quite the weak one since it didn't last more than three minutes.

They all agreed in that assumption of his. Even if it was a bullshit load of lies. Only one thing was in his mind and that was her and his promise.

Jack spoke once more and suggested they stayed in the stuff rooms until they were sure they wanted to continue.

Everyone found it as a great idea and after pairing up they went to the rooms and said to close the doors and for no one to wonder around.

Jack was paired with Lexy she closed silently the door behind her asking him if she should lock which he answered negatively. 

Getting to bed and being about to fall asleep the balcony's lock set of and a cold presence made its way in before dark took them both; Jack and Lexy ; and put them into sleep.
