Chapter 24

Chapter 24

Some legends are told
Some turn to dust or to gold
But you will remember me
Remember me for centuries
And just one mistake
Is all it will take
We'll go down in history
Remember me for centuries
(Hey yeah, oh hey, hey yeah)
Remember me for centuries

Centuries by Fall Out Boy

"Oh, god. Okay, it was just...I think it was just this branch...Okay...in the window." I hear a male voice say. "This is spooky, man. This place..." A familiar voice says. "Okay. Oh, no!" The first voice that I heard yells. We shine our flashlights at them. "Freeze! Police officers! Don't move!" I yell.

"All right. All right. Take it easy." Dean says. "Let's see some identification." Sam says. "Come on. Let's see some I.D" I say. "What...are we under...under arrest?" The guy asks. "We are unarmed." The other guy says.

"Oh, god. Oh, god." The other panics. "Want to explain that weirdo outfit, Mr. Corbett?" Sam asks as he looks at the ID's. "I know you." The other guy says. "Yeah, sure you do. Give me some identification." I glare. "Yeah, ho...whoa, hold on a second. I know the three of you. Yeah." He says.

"What?" Corbett asks. "Holy shit." Dean says. "What?" I ask. "Uh, West Texas...the...the tulpa we had to take out. Those two idiot fuckers that almost got us killed...The hellhounds or something?" Sam says. Holy fuck.

"Fuck me." I breathe out. "Gladly." Ed winks. "Back off fucker." Dean glares. "And Yeah, we're not hellhounds anymore, okay? It didn't test that well." Ed says. "Ed, what's going on?" Corbett asks. "They're not cops, buddy...no, not at all." Ed says. "Ed, Ed, you had a partner, too, didn't you...A different guy?" I ask. "Oh, yeah, yeah." He says.

"Is he around here somewhere?" Sam asks. "He's running around, chasing ghosts." Ed says. "Okay, well, listen, you and Rambo need to get your girlfriends and get out of here." Dean says. "All right. Listen here, chisel chest, okay? We were here first. We've already set up base camp. We beat you." Ed smirks.

"They were here first." Dean chuckles. "Mm-hmm." Ed hums smiling but it fades as Dean grabs him. "Oh, god." He says and I smirk. "Ed." Dean says. "Yeah?" He asks. "Where's your partner?" Dean asks. "I...in the house." Ed says.

~LIVING ROOM – MORTON HOUSE~

"What are you doing in the Morton House, Ed...on leap year...what are you thinking?" I ask. "We're here to spend the night, okay? It's for our TV show." Ed smiles. "What? Great. Perfect." Dean sighs. "Yeah, nobody's ever spent the night before." Corbett says. "Uh, actually, yeah, they have." Sam says. "Uh, we've never heard of them." Ed chuckles. "Yeah, you know why? Cause the ones that haven't lived to talk about it!" Dean yells. "Oh, come on, I don't believe you." Ed says.

"Look -- missing-persons reports going back almost a half century. John Graham stayed on a dare -- gone. Julie Wilkerson -- gone. There are tons more. All of them came to just stay the night through, always on a leap year. The only body they ever found was the last owner, Freeman Daggett." I say showing him the reports. "These look legit." Ed says. "They are legit. Look, Ed, we ain't got much time here, buddy. Starting at midnight, your friends are going to die." I say. "Oh, my god! Oh, my god! Guys! Oh, my god! We got one! Corbett! Corbett, we saw one! We saw one!" Harry yells as he, a female, and another male run down the stairs and into the living room. "Get outta here!" Ed yells. "It was a full apparition! It was like a class four. It was a spectral illumination! It..." Harry trails off smiling. "It was amazing!" The female squeals.

"Hey, aren't those the fuckers from Texas?" Harry asks. "Yes." Ed says. "All right, let's have this reunion across the street, guys." Dean says. "Crap. What are you guys doing here?" Harry asks. "Come on, come on. I'll show you guys my boobs. What do you say? Let's go." I say. "Seriously." Harry's eyes widen. "Yes." I say. "Hell fucking no." Dean says. " Look at this. Look, look. Ed, Ed. No. No. Look at this. Okay, honest-to-god proof, all right?" The girl says and she shows footage on the laptop. "Are you kidding me?" Ed asks. "Yeah. No, not kidding." Harry smirks.

"What kind of reading did we get?" Spruce asks. "Uh, it was a 10.9." Harry says. "10.9?" Ed asks. "Yeah, it was a 10.9. It was almost 11. I came out, and I was like, what's going on? And I was like...wait, watch this. Oh! He got blasted. It was crazy." Harry says. I roll my eyes and Dean grabs my arm and brings me with him and Sam. "Really? I'll show you my boobs. What the hell Skye?" Dean glares. "It was the only thing I could think of to get those guys out of here okay." I glare back. "Anyways I think we were off on this? I mean, that was just a death echo." I add. "Yeah, but what's it doing here? Did anybody get shot here?" Sam asks. "Hey! Skye I am not done talking to you." Dean snaps and I turn my back to him. "No, not that I could find." I tell Sam.

"What's a death echo?" Spruce asks and I turn around. Fucker followed us with the stupid fucking camera. "Look, we got a problem here. That ghost ain't it." I say. "Yeah, that's real. Like, that happened." Harry says. "What's a death echo?" Spruce asks again. "Echos are trapped in a loop, okay? They keep replaying how they died over and over again, usually in the place where they were ganked. It's about as dangerous as a scary movie." Dean glares at them. "So maybe the echo's not dangerous, but maybe something else is." I say. "You're right. All right, we need to get out of here, guys. Come on. Let's go. Let's go. Pack it up." Dean says. I roll my eyes as they don't move. "Guys, time is running out." I say. "We're moving." Sam says. "What about all of our equipment? What are we gonna.."

"Lots of fun. Let's go." Dean says cutting her off. "We got more material. We got all kinds of stuff. We'll make you guys recurring guest starts." Harry says. "Wait! Wait!! Where's Corbett?" Ed asks. "You have got to be kidding me." I sigh. "No man left behind." Ed says as an anguished scream is heard. "That was Corbett." Ed says. "Corbett! It's okay!" Maggie yells and they run up the stairs. I groan. "We'll get him! Go back!" I yell. "Guys! Fuck!" Sam yells.

"No! Where are you, dude?!" Ed yells. "Tell us where you are!" Harry yells. "Corbett!" They yell. "Let me go!!!" Corbett yells. "Guys!!!" He screams. "Corbett, you need to come back, Corbett!" Ed yells. "No!!!" Corbett screams. "Hey! Come on." I yell at them as Corbett screams continue and then they fade away.

~LATER~

"Corbett's...He's not here. Let's go. Let's go." Sam says. "No. But that's Corbett. No, that was Corbett. Didn't you hear that?" Harry asks. "Go. Come on." I say. "Here we go. Keep it moving." Sam says as we all walk down the hallway. "Corbett?" Ed asks. "Hey. Watch him." Sam says to Dean and Dean thumps Harry with his flashlight. "Go. Move. And turn it off." Dean growls.

"Oh, god, what's happened? Oh, god. He's gone. He just disappeared." Ed cries out. "Okay, let's just go through all the angles. Let's go through all the cameras we have." I say. "Well, it's 12:04, Dean. You good? You happy?" Sam says. "Yeah, I am happy." Dean says. "Let's go hunt the Morton House you said, it's our grand canyon." I roll my eyes. "Skye and Sam I don't want to hear this." He says. "You got two months left, Dean. Instead, we're gonna die tonight." I glare and pick up a chair and smash it against the steel front door. "Whoa! What the hell is going on?" Spruce asks. "I'll tell you what's going on. Every door, every window, I'm guessing every exit out of this house...they're all sealed." I cry out. "But..why are they sealed?" Maggie asks. "It's supernatural lockdown, okay? Whatever took Corbett doesn't want us to leave, and it's no death echo. This is a bad motherfucker, and it wants us scared." I snap. "Or it just wants us." She says and suddenly a sound of the EMF detector goes off. "Uh, Guys, the camera's fritzing again." Spruce says. "Whoa. Guys, the EMF'S starting to spike. This is a big one!" Ed yells. "Everybody, stay close. There's something coming." Sam says. An apparition appears. Dean puts me behind him and I grip the back of his shirt. "Whoa!" Harry yells.

"Is this the same echo you guys saw earlier?" Dean asks. "No, it's a different guy." Harry says. "Multiple echoes? What the hell's going on?" I whisper to Dean. "Beats me." He whispers back. "Okay. All right." Sam says. "Uh, hey, buddy! Hey. Wake up. You're dead! Hello!" Dean yells. "What's he doing?" Harry asks. "It's rare, but sometimes you can shock an echo out of its loop if you can talk to the part of the ghost that's still human, but usually you have to have some kind of connection to the deceased," I say.

"Come on! Wake up! Be dead!" Dean yells at the apparition flickers and turns around. "You guys hear that?" Harry asks. "What's that sound?" Ed asks. "You guys hear that?" Harry asks again. "Snap out of it, buddy, huh? Come on, what are you waiting for? You're gonzo! You're dead!" Dean yells as a bright light shines on the apparition and the sound of a car horn approaching. The apparition flies backward as if hit by an invisible vehicle. "Where the hell did it go?" Harry asks.
