Psychic

Chapter 13

Before I could think of what else to do someone pulled me in the crowd. I almost panicked thinking it was one of the old women. I sighed loudly when I saw it was Ken and Elizabeth.

"What happened to you?.. you look like you just so a zombie", Elizabeth pulled me. I wanted to tell her that almost all the ghosts here were terrifying and could be thought of as zombies but I thought against it thinking maybe they'll get angry coz to them they could maybe be families.

"I saw your grandmother" I finally said to Ken and Elizabeth after I felt that their eyes weren't on me anymore. "You what?!!" Elizabeth panicked like it was such a big deal even Ken looked scared.

"She wont allow us talk to you anymore"

"How will she know you both will be talking to me?"

She replied me first by rolling her eyes. "You don't get it do you? This isn't the human world. We are ghosts here you don't expect us to me dumb" I wanted to pick offense in what she said coz she was sounding like humans are dumb but I kept quiet. I was uncomfortable and I had to get out of here. But the problem was I hadn't seen my dad and that wasn't very good. He was always around when I came. I started searching for him and so did Elizabeth and Ken, they were so very nice.

We hadn't gotten anywhere in our search when Elizabeth tapped.

"Alyssa why is Nate pointing showing the spirits guards to you?"

I looked at what Alyssa was talking about. It was the guy that had swiped me off my feet with his humongous costume. He had a smirk on his face as he showed two hefty looking ghosts to me. That didn't look awesome in the least way. "I think you should go Alyssa"

"Why?"

"I will communicate with you right now there's no time for questions. Just go and please don't come back for now"

I wanted asking another question but Elizabeth and Ken both shot me pleading looks like I was going to get murdered. On second thought it seemed like I was going to get murdered if I didn't follow their instructions. The guards started marching to me and I knew running wasn't the best option

Mrs Wilson's POV

Oh God! I had never felt so weak and vulnerable in my entire life. I felt as confused as ever. It was close to midnight and I had just gotten little strength to get off my bed. Apparently I had cried myself to sleep during the day. My room was very untidy, I had never felt this messy before.

Alyssa!

How could I have been so selfish. I switched on my phone to see two messages. One was from the man that was to provide the corpse for my husband. I couldn't believe I was going to bury my husband soon. The second number was unknown. I almost tossed the phone on the bed not actually minding. But I thought against it and checked it out.

**pls try calling me back. I have been trying to reach out to you but your phone has been switched off* _Bernice

Bernice Bernice where had I heard that name from...the hospital!!!

I began to panick. What had happened to Alyssa or was Ben. A nurse trying to call you many times wasn't a good sign at all. With my shaky hands I dialed the number back.

"Hello", the receiver said.

"Did anything happen to my son or daughter?" I asked almost shouting into the phone. I know I was sounding like a crazy maniac but I couldn't help myself anymore.

"Ben's not up here its Alyssa"

Oh Lord no!

"You there ma'am?"

"Yes please what happened to her?" I almost chocked in tears.

"Nothing much I think she just misses you and you didn't come to see her today. She's upset"

THAT WAS ALL?!! Did life try to play mental games with me?

"Hello ma'am"

I ended the call and dressed up avoiding the mirror so I wont have to look at how bad I looked. Last time I checked I literally fainted.

Alyssa's POV

I hadn't noticed how much I had slept. The past few hours in the other world weren't too good. The human and spirit world were now two battlefields. I looked over to my side to see my mom sitting beside me, her hand on my bedside and her left cheek resting on her hands as she snored lightly. She must have gotten here in the night coz it the sun wasn't fully up yet. I ate the food close by which I knew she had dropped for me. I was mad at her before but the anger had been absorbed my pity for her this moment. I wanted to hug her and tell her everything was going to be alright. She was always so strong but now she was looking so very weak and I just wanted to scream at everyone.

I looked around and didn't see Bernice anywhere. Phew! Thank goodness she wasn't on morning shift she would've been checking up on me 24\7 I finished my food and began to think of what to do next coz I sure as hell didn't have any idea of what I was gonna do next. Lizzy had promised she was gonna try to communicate with me but how was she gonna do that. That old woman's face, I didn't need a soothsayer to tell me that face was familiar.

My thoughts were distracted when Angie walked into my ward and headed for my bed. I'd have preferred to see Veronica at this point. This was just too much for me at once.

"I thought you wouldn't wake I was scared"

I just looked at her not planning on replying.

"I know you are mad at me. I mean you have all reason to but I am willing to help if you just see it"

"Why cant all this be stopped?"

"I don't know, people that attempted failed miserably", Angie said.

"How do you know that?" I snapped back and she placed her hands on my mouth. "ssshh don't wake your mum up"

I doubted that coz I knew my mum when she is tired. She could sleep like the dead as she was doing now. "Fine. But how do you know this cant be stopped?" I asked almost whispering.

"Coz my grandfather. Your great grandfather"

GREAT! This is what happens when secrets are piled up from generation to generation and are finally released on the blameless generation.

"He exposed my mom to it that's why she was part of it?"

I wanted to ask what sorta husband he was initiating his own wife but I kept my big mouth shut and instead asked, "So how did he initiate her, did he do it with force?"

"Not exactly. Most people aren't initiated with force its more of a feed on a soul kind of thing but I think sacrifices are taken with force no options"

I couldn't comprehend what she just finished saying but I was trying to.

"So how did your grandfather try to stop the whole thing?"

A loud gunshot came from downstairs distracting our talk. "We'll talk about this later Alyssa. Stay here don't move", she said leaving me seated there. A lot of sleeping bodies arose from the sound of the gun and some nosy people decided to check out what had happened and unfortunately due to my curiosity I was among them. I didn't know if those stories of curious people always dying in conditions like these made me scared or probably maybe it didn't.
