A\N: Argggg! tabket is starting to piss me off...*beats it repeatedly and smashes it to a million tiny pieces* AHHHHH! ...*composes herself* Ahem! Well I was intending to write the first chapter to the first case but realized that would be rushing things too quickly. So as a means to at least give you a little bit more of Lisana's personal life. So I'm very sorry about the misspelled words. I can't really do much with the fact that my tablet takes forever to edit small things like that. I'll have to start taking my time. I promise you by next week I will have the next Chapter up. It will be long. I just have to note a few things and actually make a floor plans on where the rooms and other important things like that. Oh! So if any of you were wondering. The drawing of Lisana and Naru was done by me. I can't tell you how many times I caught myself typing in Naru instead not Oliver. It was funny at first but now I'm just worried.
OKay! So I wasn't satisfied at first and I ended up adding more content in this chapter! I also east completely satisfied with the tittle either. So I added the phone call with Oliver and Lisana in the beginning to clear things up! I hope this chapter is better with that part in.
DISCLAIMER: THIS IS FANFICTION. I DONT OWN THE ACTUAL GHOST HUNT CHARACTERS BUT I DO OWN THE PLOT AND OC'S.
Chapter 3: Premonitions and The Call of Duty
October (the following week)
It had been almost a week since that day and tomorrow Oliver and Eugene would have to teach me the basics is PK and meditation. I had been trying to find a local job that could get me the money to pay of the damages I caused. I eyed the bill in my hand. It seethed in my fingers. I punched the bridge of my nose.
"How was I supposed to know I was capable of such a mess?"
I let out a deep sigh and sunk deep into my chair. That jerk. If he hadn't provoked me I wouldn't have unleashed my outmost rage on his stupid vase. I took a sip of my mint flavored tea and breathed deeply as the warm liquid sent a warm tingle down my spine.
I submitted those applications a few days ago. My eyes darted to my cell phone at the table. It lay there silently. I couldn't stand the silent atmosphere anymore.
"Why hasn't anyone called me yet..?" I felt so useless I could almost stuff my face in to make myself feel better.
Maybe I wasn't very convincing on my job interviews... A flash of me squirming and apologizing for my many mistakes popped in my head. God? I'm not getting a job aren't I? I groaned pushed the bill away and slammed my head on the table. A familiar buzzing from my phone interrupted my moment of self pity and my eyes quickly brightened as I lifted my head. My heart pounded with excitement and I picked up and pressed "Answer"
"Hello? "
"If you were to have answered any louder I would have had to guess that you were waiting for my call."
"Oh. Oliver...its you. Wait how do you know my cell phone number? I never disclosed that with you."
"I could stay and chit chat but I have other matters to attend."
"That's great. No offense, but why did you call? I know what time I'm supposed to be there so there wasn't a need to remind me."
"Let's just say I'm aware of your financial situation Stadfield. I presume you are in need of an occupation to pay for the damages?"
"...My mom told you that didn't she?" I let another breath of frustration.
"She didn't need to. The paperwork from your case says it all."
"Okay. So I'm still looking. I don't think I'm getting any of the jobs...I'm pretty much positive I failed the interview part of the application anyway...You uh...wouldn't have any...open positions for a maid or something?"
"No. I don't but it just so happens that I have a proposition for you. I have an open position that pays well and has no need of experience...You should be freed of your debt in a matter of weeks. It just depends on how willing you are to accept."
"What do you mean about willing to accept? What is the job?"
"As you are aware, I am a paranormal researcher and every so often I get called in to investigate and research paranormal phenomenon. The job position that you would be applying for would be as my assistant."
"..."
"Did you understand a word I said or are you going to make me repeat myself?"
"No. I understand. I'm stupid. I'm just not THAT stupid Oliver."
"Really? I could have sworn you had the mental capacity of a small child." I could almost feel him smirk at the other end of the phone and it almost made me wish he was so handsome so I could slap him across the face. I growled silently.
"If you give me a flashlight and I can do it."
"Very well. Then meet me in an hour so you can fill out the application. I'll postpone your training sections for next week. We have a case tomorrow. Have your mother come in with you to give us authorization and consent that you will be working in such an environment. As for the trip. It will be a few days so pack any essential items you need to work through the days. The form I will give you will have a list on page 3 so you have an idea of what else you can bring."
"Got it..."
"Oh and one more thing. "
"What?"
"When I tell you to do something. Do as exactly as I tell you. It goes without saying that some cases can be considered dangerous so when I tell you tondo something it is out of precaution. Do you understand?"
"Sir, yes Sir!
"Good. Wallace and Walter will be upfront waiting for your arrival"
"Okay...bye"
'Where...am I?'
I fluttered my eyes and examine my surroundings. Everything is blank except for the patch of grass sprouting lilies underneath the soles of my bare feet. A slight breeze falls over me and I could feel the fabric brush gently against my skin. Since do I wear dresses? I bent down gently and pulled out one of the daisy's. I noted on how small my hands had been.
They were tiny and I examined the front and back of my palms. They were small and pale. Nothing like my regular light tan. No scars.
I looked ahead and realized an older woman had been standing ten feet away from me. Her smile was warm. She looked a looked a lot like...
"Grandma...?"
The smile grew wide. Her short silver curls swayed and her dark eyes sparkled. She looked paler than the should have been. Her own patch of grass was much bigger than mine and had an array of colorful flowers.
I tried to walk to her but in doing so my steps became very low paced. Like I was in race that took place in the moon. I struggled to reach her but the harder I tried the less distance it got me.
I looked up at her and the smile she once had contorted into a frown. Her eyebrows scrunched together and her eyes filled with horror.
"Lisana. Don't panic. Just get out of there and keep your eyes straight ahead."
'What?!'
I spoke but not a sound was heard.
'Why?!'
It was then that I could feel something heavy in the air. The warm breeze was now a cold gust blew angrily. My grandmother was no longer my grandmother...someone else took her place. He was taller than my current small size. His amethyst eyes stern. The frown didn't seem out of place anymore. In front of me only three feet away now was Oliver. His eyes never stopped staring at whatever had been behind me.
'Oliver.' His darted to me. His stare pierced into my soul and I could see my child like face in the reflection of his entrancing eyes. My stomach was twisting in knots and I wasn't sure to trust such a beautiful stranger.
"My baby..." The voice boomed behind me and I swear I could feel my heart stop.
"Wake up Lisana. Trust me."
'But...' My legs stopped working and the wind began to push me back. It was so cold it burned. I shivered.
"Come to me...my baby...come to mum..."
"WAKE UP."
My eyes shot open and I gasped for a breath of fresh air. I wheezed as inhaled the oxygen greedily. I touched my cheek and felt the moistness of my sweat. I rubbed my temples and turned to the right nightstand where my phone had been charging. I had left the lamp on all night. Still even with that and my bathroom light on I still had no reassurance...Sigh. I pushed the home button of my phone and the screen lit up instantly. The time read: 6:03 A.M
It would take about thirty minutes to get to the Davis Manor. I should really start getting ready. Darn. No hour shower today.
"Shit, the tiles in the bathroom will be cold. " I quickly and in fluid motion tear off the blankets and run towards my door. I yank it open and call out into the hallway. "Mother. Get up! I need to head to The Davis Home. Remember?" A groan of understanding responded and I don't bother to close the door and rushed in the bathroom to get ready.
The whole way there I blocked my surroundings out of my mind. Like I usually do. I had been trying to decipher what my dream had meant. Why had Oliver been in my dream? My Grandmother was there. My grandma...may she rest in peace was one the only adults in my life who bothered to raise me. Her alongside my Aunt and Grandpa had been there for me when my parents weren't. Don't get me wrong. I love them but I feel they could have tried more with me. I was always alone when I was with them. This trip was no exception. Despite how she acted last week. She was only like that because her hopes were set high. After that day my mother cried herself to sleep every night. She hadn't bothered to call my father. Was it selfish of me to want my parents to give me attention? I needed it didn't I? Why will happen when we find my sister...? I froze the thought that came after that. No. I shouldn't think negatively.
"Lisana?" I looked up at my mom.
"...Mm?" I responded dully.
"Haven't you been listening to me? Did you take your medicine last night?" I nodded and raised an eyebrow. I turned to her.
"...Did YOU take yours this morning? "
"...Yes, I did."
"...Well, I would call the psychiatrist. Maybe he can get you something so you can sleep better." She stopped the car she rented and looked at me. Her dull brown eyes had shadows underneath them. Her lips parted ready to say something but she stopped and changed the subject.
"We're here." I tugged on my white jacket and adjusted the black sleek gloves on my hands. I quickly put my cell phone in one of the many pockets of my Black messenger bag. I sighed and opened the car door passenger seat on my right.
"...G-good luck Ma." Her eyes widen slightly and she blinked and smiled.
"...Thank you...sweetie."
The warmth ebbed for a moment and went away. I smiled anyway and closed the car door. The click of my heels sounded through the courtyard and I could see two familiar figures it was Lin? And Eugene. They were loading and inspecting things into a Black Suburban Chevy. The model was much different than the regular new 2011.
My breath faltered as I inched closer. The air became heavy again. Was my anxiety just getting the best of me? Eugene wears black so if I did it would feel warm right?
"Hey, Where's the idiot scientist?" His eyes narrowed at the comment and was about to retort until a cheery voice broke the pause.
"Right on time Miss Stadfield." I turned around to see a smiling Oliver park and his sweet ride. That is not Oliver is it... I noted the way the gun-metallic
"Holy Mills! Is that a Maserati granturismo?" Someone angrily scoffed being me. I turned to face and angry twin. "Arriving on time doesn't give you the privilege to goof around. After all Stadfield. That debt isn't going to pay for itself now is it?"
"Isn't it a little early to be this bitter Noll?" Gene was wearing silver attire just as Oliver had been wearing the day I met them. Oliver had been wearing Black attire as Gene had been sporting last week.
"Shut up and give me my keys. Stadfield. I need you to check those cases and make sure all the wires and cables are organized and accounted for. Double check after and bring those in the back of the van" Eugene handed him the keys and started to move some of the equipment in the van.
I nodded and looked at the bigger classes next to my small pile. And blinked owlishly. "What about those...? Do you need me to help with that after?"
"Don't be an idiot. Those are far to heavy for you. Unless you plan on injuring yourself before you even officially start your job I suggest-" I put my hand up in a stopping motion.
"Calm down. I was just asking... Besides I'm not really that weak. I don't break that easily. I can carry a well worth amount of weight. Really."
"Don't worry about Miss Stadfield. We have enough man power." Eugene gave me a sweet child-like smile. Even though we were complete strangers. It felt genuine. I was pleasantly surprised.
After about an hour or so, I finished and double checked all the cables. As I brought the last box Oliver had been going through his laptop and Eugene was handing Lin a huge case.
"So...Is there a reason as to why you're both dressed like that?"
Oliver closed his laptop and took the box from my hands.
"Naturally I don't like to deal with bottom feeding individuals. So I send Eugene to take my place."
"Makes sense." Lin shuts the trunk of the Suburban and pulls the out the Keys from his pocket.
"Likewise. If at times I don't have the heart to say no, Oliver as my twin must abide by switching places with me as well."
"Ah, like an unspoken rule. That must be nice..."
Oliver didn't respond at that and changed the subject. "Did you bring everything you needed?" He eyed my messenger bag.
"Oh, yeah...When you called last night I hadn't expected that I would be working as ghost hunting assistant...let alone be away for a few days. I have to admit...I was scared at first but...if I need to control these abilities of mine I have to put them to the test." 'I have to be brave...I need to be strong to find her.'
"So...will it just be the four of us then?"
"Yes. I will be leading the investigation. Eugene is in charge of channeling spirits, Lin will be in charge of technical equipment and you will be my assistant."
"...So I basically I got the bottom of the pyramid."
"Until you've proven to me you are capable of handling more difficult tasks." So basically...Yeah.
"Alright...I will." Oliver raised an eyebrow walked past me.
"Very well then, Let's get going."
A\N: Okay So to clear things up. Lisana is not crazy. As most of you may know. She is actually suffering from deppression and anxiety. Notice how she pauses before she speaks. She has a shy side and is afraid to say something stupid or embarrass herself. She isnvery intimidated of people like Naru but has a great respect for them too. She doesent like drama so stopping him and reasurring him to calm down is a part of her personality trait. Being a Taurus; once something is put in her head she will do whatever it takes to do it.
