Chapter 3

As soon as I saw him point it towards me I dropped towards the floor.

The gunshot barely missed me but I was praying that it hadn't hit Andy, my partner, or Edward. I looked up to see him flee quickly.

I quickly stood up and turned to see who he had shot. But there was absolutely no one there. That's a good thing and a bad thing. It's a good thing because no one got shot but it's a bad thing because I'm all alone with a corpse.

"That was a close one," Melissa suddenly appeared by my side.

"Why is it that every time I'm in danger you disappear?" I asked as I dusted the dirt off my pants.

"What you'd rather have me risk getting shot?"

"Oh yeah cause a bullet will kill you. No wait a minute YOUR ALREADY DEAD!" I complained.

"Well sorry. But ghosts can get scared too you know," she rolled her eyes and turned toward the body.

"Yeah I kind figured that you did when you would, I don't know, vanish right before I'm about to get killed!"

"Well what do you want me to do? I can't do anything to save you or anyone else anymore," she frowned.

I sighed, "I'm sorry but that isn't true. You have saved a lot of lost souls okay. But if you just want to disappear when I'm in danger go for it. I'm giving you permission now," I looked down and inspected the body.

"A ghost hasn't shown up for this one has it?" I asked.

"So far…no. Why?"

"Because this is also a female and she is also between ages 20 to 25. I think we have a serial killer on our hands," I stood up again and sighed.

"Bella!" it was Edward calling for me.

"Over here!" my voice kind of came out shaky but that I was because I realized that I had confronted a serial killer not so long ago.

I turned around right when Edward showed up with Andy not so far behind, "Are you okay? I thought, no I know, I heard a gunshot."

"I'm fine. He missed and left," I shrugged like it was nothing.

"You need to listen to us next time," he said with frustration in his voice.

"I'm sorry but look," I turned my head towards the body and they both turned to look.

"Another one?" Andy asked as he stepped closer to us.

"A new one. I caught him dropping it off apparently," I was about to tell them the new information I had when suddenly a ghost appeared in front of me.

"Whoa," I moved my head away and quickly took a step back.

"Oh! Oh! We have a newcomer!" Melissa explained.

"And you're happy about that?" I asked in disbelief.

"What's going on? Where am I?" it was a girl with long brown hair, brown eyes, delicate features and she was a bit shorter than me.

"This is your job," I told Melissa, "that," I pointed to the body, "is my job."

The girl turned around and covered her mouth with her hands, "Ohmigawd," she whispered, "Who is that?" she asked.

"I'm pretty sure it's you," Melissa said.

She shook her head and looked at us like we were crazy, "No. I'm right here. Alive."

"No you're dead," Melissa told her.

"What?" she exclaimed before she turned to me. That's when her expression changed, "You!" she pointed her finger at me angrily.

I backed away a bit scared. "What's going on?" Edward asked as he put his arm around my waist.

"I don't know," I murmured, "Do you know me?" I asked her.

"You killed my brother and father! Of course I know you!" she yelled out in fury.

"Me? I haven't ki–," Holy crap! "Ohmigawd!"

"What? What's wrong?" Edward asked as he looked in front of him frantically.

"You're…I didn't know…I…Ohmigawd! You're James' little sister?" I finally got out.

"What?!" Edward, Andy, and Melissa said at the same time.

"Wow," Melissa said, "Who the hell is left in your family?"

She looked over at Melissa with a glare and then her expression softened, "My mom. Oh man! This is gonna kill her!"

"Well then there won't be anyone left now will there?" Melissa joked around.

I rolled my eyes at her before I looked back at James' sister, "What's your name?" I asked.

"Julia. Julia Mann," she said as she stared down at the body.

"What is it with your guys' names?! You all start with J's! There was Joe, James and now a Julia. What's your mom's name? Jenna?!" Melissa exclaimed.

"Yeah actually. How did you know?" she asked truly serious.

Melissa's face went blank, "Damn. You guys just love names that start with J's. Go figure."

I turned around to look at Andy, "Have you called them yet?"

He nodded slowly, "That's two bodies in one night. Do you think it was done by the same person?"

I nodded as I looked back at the body, "There both females and there both around the same age."

"Two bodies? Who does the other one belong to?" Julia asked.

"Me," the first girl ghost showed up out of no where, "My name is Amy Rivers."

All this time I could have just asked them about there age. But then again what if these aren't there bodies?

Edward and I got home almost at midnight. I was tired and hungry so I went straight to the fridge. The only thing we had was cereal so I made a bowl for me, "Want some?" I asked Edward.

"Yeah," I could tell that he was tired as well. I poured him a bowl and placed them on the table. I munched on it slowly and placed it in the sink as soon as I was finished. I was so tired that I thought I might just collapse right then and there.

"I'm gonna take a shower," I walked upstairs slowly and took a quick shower in my bathroom. I got into my sleeping clothes and went over to my bed and got under the covers next to a fresh Edward. He must have taken a shower in his old room. Edward had his own room here as well but he slept in bed with me.

As soon as my head hit the pillow I closed my eyes and started falling asleep.

"Bella," my whole body went rigid and tense. This was a voice I was hoping to never hear in my life again. A voice that had tormented me in the past so much that I almost went insane and died.

"What's wrong?" Edward asked. He had had his arms around me so he could feel how my body had just suddenly gone tense out of the blue. I opened my eyes and looked into Edwards with fear.

"Bella," My eyes went wider at the sound of my name. I could tell Edward was starting to get worried.

"Bella what's wrong?" he asked.

My breathing was coming out shallow as I slowly looked through the corner of my eyes to see who or what was behind me. My heart was speeding in my chest and I slowly turned my head to look. It can't be true. I have to be hearing things. Something inside of me, a voice maybe, was telling me that I wasn't hearing things and it was true. And the voice was right.

A/N: OoO! Who do you think it is? I'm pretty sure you guys know caz you guys are all smart…maybe even smarter than me. Please review!!
