Chapter Nine- Put at Ease.
I woke up to someone rubbing my hand and hushed voices. I was still a little bit groggy from the morphine and from sleeping so it took me a few minutes to figure out who the voices were. I realized that they belonged to my mom and John. My mom was asking if the ghost would come after us.
John told her, "No, you know that they can't do that. So why are you even asking?"
She told him about the rumors that the ghost could lure people so she was concerned it would lure us back to finish the job. I had opened my eyes by the time she had finished telling him that. He looked to be deep in thought which had me a bit worried. I mean ghosts couldn't do that, could they? He just said that they couldn't. My mom looked to be worried as well.
She spoke up saying, "You just said that they can't."
John sighed. "It's possible that she could but it's rare for them to be able to do that. So the chances of this ghost being able to lure us there was slim."
"But you said that they couldn't do that." I spoke up for the first time since waking. I could tell by the way that they both jumped a little that they didn't expect me to be awake. In truth I was still tired and would have liked to sleep but I couldn't. Something kept nagging at me, making me uneasy. I looked at John waiting for him to answer me.
He sighed again before saying that he had heard of it during his time as a hunter. Him saying that didn't put me at ease at all. If anything, it made me even more uneasy. He went on to explain that it depended on the way the ghost died. If they had been lured to their death, then there was the possibility that they could lure people to their death. But then there was also the fact of an innocent ghost accidentally luring someone to their death. The ghost would have been kept there by what had killed them so it wouldn't really mean to lure them there but still doing so. Then the bad ghost would come out and kill the person after the good ghost had disappeared or something along those lines. There was never really a set pattern for these types of hauntings.
John then told us that he thought that this was just a normal haunting. He would have to research her death to know for sure but it appeared to be a standard haunting. That made me feel a little bit better. From everything I knew about her death, there had never been a rumor about her being lured to her death. I also knew for a fact she wasn't killed by anything supernatural. So both scenarios didn't pan out.
Once again I voiced my thoughts out loud without realizing it until questioned on what I had said. John asked me how much I knew about her death and the house. I sighed tiredly, feeling really drowsy again.
My mom said that they should let me rest, I could tell him what I knew tomorrow. They were probably going to release me tomorrow so we could most likely talk in the privacy of our house instead of a hospital room where anyone could walk in at any moment. He told my mom she was right and that he should probably go and get the boys so they could find a motel room.
My mom told him that was nonsense and insisted that they stayed at our house and she wouldn't hear another thing about it. She then turned to me and told me that I should rest some more. But tomorrow I was going to get it for lying to her. I gave them a tired nod before closing my eyes again and drifting off into a much easier sleep.
