Chapter 7 Melinda, run
The young couple were sat in front of the fire, Melinda wrapped in Jim's arms enjoying the orange glow of the flames that flickered in all manner of directions. They had been caught in a surprise burst of rain whilst they were coming from the park and this was the best way Mel could think of to warm herself up.
"It's so cosy, maybe we should get a fire." Mel said as she looked up into Jim's adoring gaze.
"Mel we already have one, we just never use it." Jim replied sweetly as he pulled Melinda closer to his chest.
Melinda reached up and placed a soft kiss on Jim's lips and then smiled beautifully in his direction, she felt so happy right now it was amazing.
"Well then we should definitely start using it." She whispered lovingly into Jim's ear.
Before Mel had a chance to move away Jim pushed his lips close to hers and began to kiss her passionately, her hands tangled into his dark brown hair and she stared deeply into his ocean blue eyes knowing that she had found her one true love. The kiss would definitely have lead to something more had Jim not noticed Melinda tense up as she glanced toward the corner of the room.
"Mel...honey are you okay?" Jim asked concerned.
Melinda nodded her head then walked over to where the spirit was standing.
"Kate, I thought you'd crossed over, we called the police on Kyle they are looking for him now." Melinda said to the beautiful ghost.
"I can't cross over, not until you are safe and Kyle is taken away, they haven't found him yet but he is coming for you." She replied seriously.
"What do you mean, he doesn't know where I am Kate and Jim is with me, I'll be safe." Melinda said managing to hide her fear successfully.
Kate sighed and then flickered to the other side of Melinda.
"You don't get it, he won't give up Melinda, he has a gun and he will find you." With that she disappeared leaving Melinda to explain the situation to an expectant Jim. She had definitely killed the romance for tonight.
"What was that about honey?" Jim asked when Melinda returned to the fire.
"Kyle. The police haven't caught him yet and Kate seems to think he is going to find me again." Melinda sighed, she was scared but at the same time she felt so safe in Jim's arms.
"Okay, we'll call the police again, make sure they keep a look out in the area and I will be like your own personal body guard, I'll stick to you like glue." Jim replied and kissed her lovingly on the forehead.
"I love you." She whispered into his chest.
"I love you too honey, you know these spirits are such passion killers." He joked causing Melinda to look up and laugh at his bad joke.
"Jim you really know how to lighten the mood don't you, I have a crazy ex stalking me and you complain about the ghost interrupting a make out session." Mel laughed.
"Well you know stalkers are rare, ghosts interrupting us are not so rare I think I've earned the right to be a little ticked off with them." He replied continuing the joke.
"Shut up." She said playfully and then leaned to rest her head further into his chest once more. Jim circled his arms around her and the laid silently in front of the fire watching the flames again.
They sat like that for almost an hour when Jim noticed Melinda had fallen asleep in his arms. He loved to watch her sleep, she always looked so peaceful but he didn't do it often as it freaked her out when she caught him staring.
Jim carried his wife up to bed and placed her softly under the covers. He would join her soon once all the doors and windows were locked.

Kyle sat in his van moving the gun from one hand to the next. He had a perfect view into the house, he could see Jim moving about downstairs and he was just waiting for the right moment to strike. Should he wait until they were both sleeping to make his entrance or should he just shoot Jim through the window and take Melinda from her bed?
The thoughts whirled around in his mind, he was going to have to put his plan into action tonight, the police would be on his tail soon enough and he had to have Melinda, she needed him.
Kyle watched as Jim made his way to the bedroom and then he slowly stepped out of the truck knowing what he was going to do. He held the gun tightly in his hand and smiled to himself.
'Just one shot in the chest then he won't be able to stop me, I will have her and if she refuses I will shoot her too. I don't want to hurt her but she doesn't know what she wants and it will be easier to take her if she can't fight back.' Kyle thought to himself sickly.
He neared the front door and used the spare key to open it, he had been watching the couple all day and knew exactly where to find it. Kyle closed the door behind him almost silently and headed up the stairs, careful to avoid the stair that creaked.
Now the gun felt heavy in his hand. He was a little nervous but he could do this, he had fired a gun before and this was for the love of his life, he could do this. He reached the bedroom door and stopped to collect his thoughts.

"MELINDA, MELINDA WAKE UP!" Kate screamed as she saw Kyle outside the bedroom door but Melinda didn't even stir, she was going to have to be creative.
Kate used her energy to turn on the alarm clock and the couple woke up with a jolt, even Kyle was startled outside the room.
"HE'S HERE, HE'S IN THE HOUSE." Kate shouted now Melinda was awake and she had her attention now.
"What, oh my God, Jim he's in the house, he has a gun." Mel said making no effort to hide her words from the man outside the door.
As she spoke the worst Kyle ran through the door and pointed the gun in Jim's direction.
"NOO!" Melinda screamed as she saw what Kyle was about to do.
"MELINDA RUN, get the hell out of here now." He shouted desperately trying to get her attention.
Melinda ran toward Kyle and Jim chased after his wife before a loud bang filled the room.
