Ghostly Lies

Part 3, Episode 4: Poison Water

Alex POV

I was in my dressing room taking a small break as I tapped my drumsticks together counting from 10 to 20. "15..16..17..18..19..", "20.." my eyes widened as I knew I didn't say 20, "Hello..."

Caleb appears in front of me, "H-how long have you been standing there.." I asked as he shrugged, "ever since that first anxiety attack.."

I gulped, "what do you want.." I asked as he locked eyes with me. "I just want to do a simple coin toss." Coin toss? "Heads I'll be out of your sight forever..and tails I'll temporarily possess you. Sound fair? Sounds good to me.."

I didn't even speak as the coin flipped in the air as I hoped for heads but ended on tails. I stood up and ran out the door and back on stage as the band was warming up. I yelled as they looked at me strangely.

"Seeing ghosts lately Alex.," Reggie laughed along with Luke, "Yeah! Now I need your help, there's a ghost trying to possess me.." they laughed as Bobby smirked. "If he or she is trying to possess you, why would they. You don't have a brain.."

Bobby laughed as the guys stopped, "okay that is taken a little too far.." said Luke as Reggie agreed as I felt a cold shiver mist. I groan as I could feel Caleb trying to make himself comfortable inside my spirit. "Alex you good?"

Caleb POV

"what do you want.." He asked as I locked eyes with him. "I just want to do a simple coin toss." I smirked, "Heads I'll be out of your sight forever..and tails I'll temporarily possess you. Sound fair? Sounds good to me.."

He didn't even speak as the coin flipped in the air as I hoped for tails and ended on tails. He stood up and ran out the door and back on stage as the band was warming up. I teleported to the stage as I heard him yell as they looked at him strangely.

"Seeing ghosts lately Alex.," Reggie laughed along with Luke, "Yeah! Now I need your help, the ghost is trying to possess me.." they laughed as Bobby smirked. I surely love the kid,"If he or she is trying to possess you, why would they. You don't have a brain.."

Bobby laughed as the guys stopped, I laughed as they spoke, "okay that is taken a little too far.." said Luke as Reggie agreed as I floated towards Alex and tried aligning myself to his spirit with my spirit.

"Alex you good?" I cracked my neck and shook my wrist, "I am perfectly good." I winked at Bobby as he winked back. "Say why don't we go grab a quick drink and then go back and perform.." they looked at me and nodded.

They led the way to the concession stand as they ordered water for all. As the water came I picked up the tray and mumbled a poisonous chant. When I reached the table, I handed them their cups.

"Cheers to the best band in history.." said Luke just before he and Reggie and Bobby drank the water my arm spazzed and knocked the water out of their hands and I dropped the cup I was holding. What is going on?!

I gain control of movement in my body and all that worked were my arms. I just saved the band from death but I knew I had to save Bobby even though I hate him, Carrie deserves to have a dad.

"You sure you're good Alex, it's just water.." when I tried speaking only three words came out and none were Caleb. "Please help me...", "Shut up you nimrod.."

Luke POV

"Cheers to the best band in history.." I said just before me and Reggie and Bobby drank the water Alex knocked the water out of our hands and he dropped the cup he was holding.

"You sure you're good Alex, it's just water.." said Reggie, "Please help me...", "Shut up you nimrod.." he was talking to himself, "umm." I said as Reggie looked at me and whispered,

"Alex hardly lies, what if his telling the truth about a ghost trying to possess him." I looked at him as he acted weirder than usual, "possibly but how can we tell if he is.."

Alex looked at us, "eyes.." he said before he was silent for the rest of the night. I looked at his eyes as he was right. His eyes were once blue now gray. "We got to find Jane." I said as just as we spoke of her she arrived. "I heard you say my name?"
