A Little Blood Makes the World Go Round

Chapter Three: No Going Back

Three days and counting, Jessica was held up in that room for three days. Three days of no interaction aside from the shorter man named Josh, who incidentally was crazy and talked to the walls and furniture on occasion. She was fed well, and she got the privilege of her own bathroom/vanity, but she was still prisoner never the less.

This particular morning however she woke to find the door to her room was open, and the smell of an amazing breakfast was wafting in from the kitchen downstairs. She got out of bed slipping her shoes on, she had been brought some of her own clothes, knowing they must have found her place and broke in, but is wasn't as good as waking up and having a nice selection of shirts. She picked out an old 'tee' with a television character on it to match a pare of lazy jeans with a small hole in the knee that she only ware when she did her laundry.

Jessica made her way to the source of the smell, Josh stud at the stove flipping some eggs, cutting off a sentence he was in the middle of with the table.

"Just ask Aid- Oh"

Josh smiled pleasantly, offering her some food already prepared on the table.

"Aidan and I figured it would be fine for you to come downstairs, but we want to talk to you when he gets back"

Josh placed the finished eggs onto his plate and took a seat opposite Jessica. She raised and eye brown when he muttered out the corner of his mouth to the counter then turned back to her. Jessica straightened her back and dug into her food.

"As long as I can leave after, I do have a life you know, someone will find me missing and come looking for me"

Josh spoke around the food in his mouth, making himself look quite unattractive.

"What like Eric?" Josh swallowed and took a sip of water; he saw the animosity fuming from Jessica who remained silent.

"What, I'm just saying, Aidan had a right, he was abusing you. Water under the bridge…right?"

Jessica turned to back to her food, never removing the scowl from her lips. When she finished she pushed the plate away, looking to Josh who still stuffed his face.

"So…Aidan's a psycho, and you're schizophrenic?"

Josh chocked on his mouthful of food, he swallowed it with a gulp.

"Schizo- what no? I mean Aidan's not psycho, he's just… looking out for himself…and you" Jessica made a face that clearly meant she wasn't buying it. Just as she was about to question Josh's sanity Aidan walked through the front door.

Aidan looked around at the table before him, Josh sat across form Jessica, who stared daggers at her plate. Sally sat perched on the counter looking from Josh to Aidan with surprise.

"You're seriously going to tell her everything?" Questioned Sally without hesitation.

Aidan nodded to her before taking a seat between the two at the table.

"So I take it Josh told you we need to talk, am I right?" Jessica nodded silently; she looked up to Aidan, her face painted with anger.

"He did, but I have a proposition, you let me go and I won't go to the cops"

Aidan chuckled, folding his hands on the table.

"Not likely, it's to dangerous, there are things about this world that would curl the hairs on your arm" Jessica unconsciously rubbed her forearm for heat.

"Then tell me? I have a right to know, I'm technically involved now, right?"

"She's got a point Aidan, what's the worse that could happen? At lest then she'd know what she's getting into" Aidan looked to Sally who wore a look of authority. He shook his head.

"I donno"

"I think for once she has a point Aidan" Josh smiled slightly at his own cleverness, having a ghost around wasn't as difficult as he thought.

Aidan didn't know where this all stud, he was between the lines, either he told her and she freaked, making everything worse, or she accepted the truth, lived with it, and they would be able to let her live her life with the protection of Josh, Sally, and him. Or he didn't tell, attempt to protect her without her knowledge, she might suspicious, or even fall back on her word to not tell the authorities. There was only one good outcome, and Aidan was betting on a lot here.

Aidan straightened up in his seat, looking from Sally to Josh, if he was going to do this he might as well start with the easiest. He took a deep unnecessary breath looking to sally once more.

"Okay, I'll tell you everything, but you need to understand first that we're not bad people, everyone makes mistakes, and we're trying to fix them here and now"

"It's not like your telling me the secrets of the pentagon" Jessica joked, the first joke she made since she got here. Maybe they really were nice people, she moved that thought from her mind, no good person would do this, no good person would hold another human being against their will.

"Well…just to get complications out of the way, and to clear up the fact that Josh doesn't have schizophrenia, you're not the only female in the house"

Josh looked to Sally who didn't bother to change her demeanor. Jessica looked around confused.

"She's...um well…"

"Dead Josh, I'm dead, your allowed to say it" Sally interrupted.

"Dead…She's a Ghost" Aidan took it upon himself to finish.

"Her names Sally"

Jessica looked from Aidan to Josh, both looked quite serious. She burst out laughing, clearly thinking it was some kind of practical joke.

"Your not serious right? A Ghost? And what you're a troll, and he's a hobbit?" Josh and Aidan exchanged looks, they really didn't know what else to say. Sally however didn't like the mockery this girl was making of her. She focused all her energy on the pitcher of juice on the counter top. She almost felt like she would pop a blood vessel if she had any, then finally after rocking a bit it shot up into the air and fell to the floor with a smash.

Jessica jumped not prepared for projectile liquids.

"What the hell?" Aidan sighed.

"That was Sally, you aint gonna see her," He added after Jessica started looking around the room as if she would find the source.

"Listen, your wrong, this isn't a joke, this is quite serious" Aidan waited for Jessica to look back at him.

"Your not seriously a Hobbit are you?" she asked Josh with a serious face.

He smiled pathetically and laughed as if mocking her.

"No, werewolf actually" Her eyes went wide and she turned to Aidan.

"Let me guess, you're a vampire?" Aidan smiled.

"Actually, yes" Jessica proceeded to laugh again.

"Man and for a second I actually believed the whole ghost thing!"

Aidan dug his nails into the table, his eyes turning black and his fangs sliding down his gums. Jessica looked up at Aidan, her face went pale instantly, she stud up backing into the living room behind her, fear stuck her face. Aidan made to move near her, his face turning back to normal. She took one look at Josh who remained complacent, then her world went dark.

Author's Note: Thank you to Dannyblue for helping out.

I apologise for this chapter having taken me so long, I usually finish them quite fast. I might be a while with the next one too, but I promise you all that I have planned quite a bit more to come. I still haven't quite gotten the hold on Jessica's reactions for later on, if anyone has there own ideas or what they hope to see let me know!
