Forget-Me-Not

CHAPTER 4

“What is that supposed to mean, I can’t leave yet. “ I shouted at him in anger. “I am done, Ben is on his way to confess, after that the cops are gonna arrest Teddy and Daniel. So I can leave.” I tried to explain myself, perhaps he didn’t understand.

“Alice listen carefully to what I’m about to say, your coming to earth wasn’t just for revenge but to stop something very terrible from happening.”

I watched him unconvinced; I didn’t want to hear what he had to say. I just wanted to go to wherever I was supposed to go. I was tired of this world, the longer I stayed in it the more I hated it, why, because it had so many wonderful things that I could never have because I was dead.

“Kelly was going to die anyway at the hands of Ben; you need to understand that even if you chose to crossover, she would have still died.” Castiel said. He had this desperate look on his face.

I on the other hand was curious and confused, why was he telling me all this, “What does any of this have to do with my wanting to leave.” I asked.

“Alice you were meant to move on, I wasn’t supposed to let you come back to earth. My orders were to get you to cross over, but because of what was going to happen I disobeyed my orders.”

I stared at him wide eyed. “Oh”

“Alice, right now Kelly is on her way to kill Ben.” Castiel announced.

“Wait….b-but he’s on his way to confess, why would she want to kill him.” I said not really surprised, Kelly was crazy.

“That is not what’s important. Kelly is going to kill 350 innocent souls in her attempt to kill Ben TODAY, and you have to stop her.”

“I BEG YOUR PARDON.” What the hell was going on, did I mishear Castiel? Because I thought he just said Kelly was going to kill 350 people.

“You heard me correctly.” He said.

My mouth formed an “o”, his words were replaying in my head like a track on repeat. I didn’t know what to say to this piece of information; I didn’t even know how to digest it. 350 people seriously. This had to be some kind of joke. Why….how. Kelly was crazy I knew that but I didn’t think it was so serious to the extent that she would want to kill so many people, wait a minute it was impossible, for Kelly to be able to pull such a stunt she would need a lot of energy to accomplish that, not to mention the fact that it was against the rules so as soon as she tried to kill anyone Castiel and his buddies could go after her.

“Kelly is getting her energy from a dark source which has corrupted her soul. The only thing that energy wants once it takes over a spirit such as Kelly is to be fed with the souls of human beings. we can’t stop her because there are several rules that forbid us from interfering when it comes to the use of such dark energies. I won’t bother to explain these rules to you because you won’t even understand. All you need to know is she’s evil and very dangerous and you’re my only hope of stopping her.”

“Seriously” I said amused because it just sounded unbelievable.

As if on cue the timer on my vial started to make its usual annoying noises, we both looked at it 8%. “Okay Castiel I don’t really understand what’s happening but first things first, if I’m going to last any longer I need another vial of essence, because as you can see I’m almost at zero.” I told him.

“You only get one.” He said firmly but his voice had a hint of sadness in it.

Once again I was taken aback, “How the hell am I supposed to stop Kelly with 8%. She’s really strong and I doubt I will last a second with her in a fight at this percentage.” I said a little mad.
