MUTE (Ghost Hunt FanFic)

Silent Christmas

I sat on the floor playing a board game with 'Mai'. She moved her piece and laughed as she won. Again. I laughed along and saw Naru walk in. I signed to Mai showing I would be right back and walked up to him. 'Any new info?' I signed and he shook his head. "Just keep Kenji entertained" he said and I nodded. I walked back to Mai and she laughed as I sat down. I looked up and I swear I saw a little boy. I jerked my head in the direction of the window. I walked to the window and stared down. Nothing was there but I had such a strong feeling. I grabbed Mai and dragged her with me as I ran out the door and down the hall to the front of the church. "Emmy!" Called Naru as he followed me and Lyn followed him. I stopped as I looked up at the building. My eyes stopped at a small part in between two statues. I had an urge to climb up. I ran toward a small part in the wall that looked easy enough to climb and started up. My eyes changed into there angel form and I could tell I was starting to glow. Naru grabbed around my waist and pulled me back. My body ached to climb up and I thrashed in Naru's arms. I looked back and pleaded at him with my eyes, begging him to let me go. He was hesitant but finally, he let go. I scrambled up the wall at a fast pace and finally got to where I could almost sit on the ledge. The wind blew my hair and I quickly pulled myself into the ledge. I looked in the corner of the little ledge and saw a skull. 'Kenji' I thought and picked it up. 'He just wanted,to be found' I thought as I started crying. "Emelia!" Screamed Mai in her normal voice. I looked up and saw a little boy. 'Kenji' I thought as he turned gold and floated away with a man. But, before he left, I heard him whisper

"If I could learn to talk again, you can too" then he disappeared. I froze as tears continued to fall down my face. I grabbed the skull and started my climb back down. I hit the ground and looked at the wall with wide eyes as the tears continued. I turned around and walked to Naru and handed him the skull. He gasped slightly and took it from me. I fell to the ground and started crying. Masako and Mai tried to calm me down but I couldn't. It was like I was crying for all the times I never did when I was younger. I finally calmed down and walked into the church. I walked into the room I was sharing with Masako and looked into the full body mirror. Kenji's words replayed in my head. Maybe I could learn to talk again. I did talk to Naru the other night but my throat was sore the next day and my voice was so hoarse. 'I need to try' I thought and wiped my eyes. I looked back in the mirror and saw Naru standing in the doorway. He walked in and closed the door and locked it. He looked angry. He walked up to me and grabbed both my arms and turned me toward him. "What the hell is wrong with you?!" He shouted and I flinched. "What if you slipped and fell?! Why was that so damn important that you would risk your life?!" I took a deep breath and stood my ground like Kenji told me to. "Is Mai still possessed?" I asked calmly in my scratchy hoarse voice. He looked shocked but shook his head no. "Then I believe the words are 'Thank you Emmy' " I said as my voice became less scratchy but was still hoarse. He looked at a loss for words and I smirked. "Why so pissed Naru?" He pulled me close and leaned in to kiss me but I put my hand in front of my face and his lips came in contact with the back of my hand. He gave an irritated growl and I giggled. "That's for turning off the radio" he smirked and wrapped his arms around me. I hugged him back and smiled. "You certainly are special" he said and went for another kiss. I dodged it and slipped under him and ended up behind him. I slung my arms around his shoulders and whispered in his ear. "I know". He smiled and grabbed my hand. He unlocked the door and we walked out hand in hand. We walked into the small waiting room where everyone was sitting. I looked at Naru and he nodded. "Hello" I said, my voice still hoarse. Everyone gasped and Monk ran up to me. He picked me up and spun me around "you spoke!" He shouted and put me down. I nodded and sat next to Mai. "So how'd you get this weird change?" Asked John. "Kenji" I replied. He nodded and Naru wrapped his arms around my neck as he crouched over the couch so that his head was near mine. I rolled my eyes and Mai giggled. We sat and talked for a while and finally we were on the drive back home. I turned on the radio and Naru turned it off. "What do I have to do to keep the radio on?" I asked my voice becoming more clear. He smirked and turned it off again. I groaned and leaned my head against the window. We made it back to SPR and I stepped out of the car. I helped Naru put things away and when I finished I went to tell him good night. I walked in and knocked on the door. "Naru? I wanted to say goodn-" I stopped mid sentence. I can't believe it. Naru was kissing Masako! She pulled away and he looked at me in panic. "Emmy it's not-" but I cut him off. "No no it's fine. I promise" I said and ran out of SPR. I ran to Gavin's house and knocked on the door. He answered and smiled. "Hey Gorahm what's up?" I broke down and told him everything. He let me sleep at his house and I spent the night watching movies and eating pizza.

I woke up the next mornig and realized I had to go to work. I groaned but Gavin was already throwing clothes at me. He lent me a pair of black baggy sweatpants, a Nike shirt that said JUST DO IT and a hat that said THUG LIFE. I brushed out my hair and put the hat on backward. I jumped on his back like a piggy-back ride and he carried me to SPR. We walked in the building and I was resting on the back of his shoulder. He knocked on the door and Monk answered. Gavin walked in and dropped me in the couch. I groaned and curled up into a ball. "Bye Gorahm. See you later" said Gavin as he walked out of the door. "We're going to Chucky Cheese!" He called as he walked out the door. "FUCK YOU!" I shouted as I jumped to my feet. He laughed and closed the door when he left. "I hate those goddamn places" I mumbled to myself as I flopped back on the couch exhausted. Naru walked up to me but I jumped up and sat next to Mai. "So Mai how have you been?" I said trying to avoid talking to Masako or Naru.
