A/N: Hey there guys! This is my newest story. I don't own Ghost Hunt. I do own Alex, Kyle, Joey and Hunter though. I also don't own any of the songs that are used in any of the coming chapters. I hope that you enjoy this. Thanks for everyone who reviewed this story and faved it or alerted it. I was alerted to some things as well. As I was typing chapter one, I had Mai spelt wrong and I did the dream scene wrong. I put Gene as Dream Naru. I apologize I was half asleep when I typed that and didn't realized it was wrong until I was notified of it. Thank you for the ones who mentioned this. On with the chapter.
Chapter Two: Weird Things on the Road
Lin was driving for an hour before Mai fell asleep again. Naru glanced at her as she rested her head on his shoulder.
"Lin, were you able to discover anything useful that may help solve this case quickly?" Naru asked the Chinese man as he drove.
"I think so. But, it may be difficult. I'm worried that it may not help." Lin glanced in his review mirror, making sure that Monk was still following him. Naru sighed and glanced down at Mai as she sighed in her sleep.
"I just hope we solve this case quickly. Gene mentioned to Mai that her powers were growing…" Naru trailed off as looked out the window.
-Mai's Dream-
Great, now what?Mai asked herself as she looked around her and noticed that she as on the astral plane. "Gene! Where are you?" Mai called out as she looked around.
"YOU WON'T FIND HIM HERE!" a deep voice yelled out as Mai whipped around at the sound. Upon seeing a dark mass, Mai started to shake in fear.
Why do I get the feeling that I'm about to be killed? Mai thought as she felt two hands wrap around her throat. Mai gasped for air as she continued to feel the pressure on her neck get tighter and tighter. Mai mustered up her energy and screamed, hoping that Gene would hear her.
-End Mai's Dream at the same time-
Naru heard Mai gasp and looked at her.
"Mai?" Naru asked as he watched her. Naru noticed that her hands were twitching like she was being choked. "Shit. Lin, Mai's being attacked!" Lin stopped the van and looked at Mai just as she screamed out.
"AHHHHH!" Mai screamed as she jerked her eyes open and gasped for breath, her hands traveling to her throat.
"MAI!" Naru shouted at her as he started to shake her. Monk had stopped his car and the others were out of the car and at the van. Mai suddenly stopped and looked at Naru before shaking even more.
"Why do these things keep happening to me?" Mai asked as Naru pulled her into his arms, being tender for once.
"I don't know. What happened?" Naru felt his shirt grow damp as Mai cried, but that didn't bother him. Mai explained what happened as Monk and Ayako sighed.
"Why does all this stuff happen to her?" Monk asked Ayako as they left and went back to his car with the others. Ayako just shrugged her shoulders before sitting back in the passenger seat. Once SPR got back on the road, Mai started to sing, unknowingly.
"Deep in the meadow, under the willow Here it's safe, and here it's warm
A bed of grass, a soft green pillow
Lay down your head, and close your eyes
And when they open, the sun will rise
Here the daisies guard you from every harm
Here your dreams are sweet-
-and tomorrow brings them true
Here is the place where I love you.
"Deep in the meadow, hidden far away Here it's safe, and here it's warm Here is the place where I love you.
A cloak of leaves, a moonbeam ray
Forget your woes and let your troubles lay
And when again it's morning, they'll wash away
Here the daisies guard you from every harm
Here your dreams are sweet-
- and tomorrow brings them true
Here is the place where I love you.
"Mai, what were you just singing?" Naru asked her as she glanced up at him.
"It's called 'Rue's Lullaby'," Mai said as she turned her music down. "It's from the movie 'The Hunger Games'."
"It was nice. Lin, we're nearly there." Naru turned back to his black notebook before Mai could ask any questions. Lin nodded his head and turned at a stop sign. Soon they arrived in front of a large Victorian style mansion.
Why do I get the feeling that I'm going to be pulled down multiple wells this case? Mai asked herself as the group out of the cars.
