Chapter Ten
Bobby and Pastor Jim started in the reception area with the intentions of marking the walls with the symbols and moving up. John with Malakai was starting on the fifth floor and would be moving down to the third floor hopefully trapping Alicia there.
Bobby and Pastor Jim were on the first floor and everything was going to plan when over the walkie talkie they were informed by Doctor Phillips that Jenny one of his nurses had gone missing.
"It had to be Alicia, what's she up to now?" Bobby asked
"We'd better go back and check the symbols, make sure done have been removed" Pastor Jim replied
"No you stay here, carry on and I'll go back down" Bobby said
"OK, fine my me, just keep in touch and be careful" Pastor Jim replied
Pastor Jim carried on drawing the symbols on the wall, as he was walking down the corridor he heard a scream coming from the storage room. Entering he saw Isabel but before he had a chance to react to the situation he was hit over the head with a bedpan by the missing nurse called Jenny who was in a trance. Jenny washed of the protective symbols from Pastor Jim's arms.
As Pastor Jim started to wake Alicia whispered into his ear. He got up from the floor and walked down the corridor removing the symbols he and Bobby had carefully drawn as Alicia followed behind him. Once on the first floor he proceeded to Sam and Dean's new room. He entered while Alicia waited outside the room.
"Sam, come with me" Pastor Jim asked
"Why, where's Dad?" Sam replied as he climbed out of bed in his pyjamas and put on his dressing gown and slippers.
"He needs you in reception" Pastor Jim lied
John and Malakai were on the fourth floor when a call came over the walkie talkie.
"John, are you there?" Bobby voice crackled down the walkie talkie
"Yeah, Bobby what's up" John replied down his walkie talkie
"You'd better come down here to reception quickly we've got a situation down here" Bobby voice came back
"Be right there" John replied
John didn't like the tension in Bobby voice, something had happened.
John and Malakai walked into the reception and were shocked to see the scene that was playing out in front of them.
Bobby was standing with his back to the main entrance doors pointing a gun at Pastor Jim, who was holding a knife to Sam's throat. Alicia stood leaning against the wall with her arms folded across her chest waiting for John and Malakai to arrive. John walked over and joined Bobby in front of the doors.
"Thank god your here" Bobby said as he saw John and Malakai enter the reception area.
"Let me leave and I promise no harm will come to Sam" Alicia spoke as she pushed herself off the wall.
John was torn he couldn't let Sam die and he couldn't let Alicia out of the hospital. He looked directly to into Sam's eyes and saw fear. He gave Sam a reassuring smile that everything was going to be fine, even though he didn't believe it himself.
"John, we can't let her go and we can't trust her" Bobby whispered to him
He didn't know what to do all he knew was he couldn't lose Sam. He turned his back on Alicia and faced Bobby "You're a better shot than me, can you take Jim out, shoot him in the shoulder?"
"That's pretty risky John, if he moves that knife's very close to Sam's throat, if I miss Jim I could end up shooting Sam, I really don't want the responsibility" Bobby replied
"I trust you Bobby with Sam's life but we've no choice, unless you've got a better idea?" John asked
"No" Bobby replied
"Then will you do it?" John asked he couldn't order Bobby to do it
"Hell John" Bobby replied he could see no other way "Yeah I'll do it"
While John started to talk to Alicia trying to keep her distracted, Bobby lifted the gun and took aim. But Alicia saw what was going to happen and she shouted out to Pastor Jim "Slit his throat now"
Pastor Jim hesitated he was trying to break her control over him, his shaking hand holding the knife moved closer to Sam's throat. Sam closed his eyes and held his breath; he waited for the pain to come.
What happen next threw everybody of guard, from out of the walls the ghosts that Dean and Isobel had released from Alicia prison appeared, they moved quickly, almost gliding across the room and attacked Alicia knocking her to the floor, her hold on Pastor Jim was broken.
Pastor Jim dropped the knife and Sam ran to his father. Bobby ran forward and kicked the knife away from Pastor Jim reach.
"John I'm sorry, she made me do it?" Pastor Jim tried to apologize.
"I know, it's OK Jim" John replied as he looked down at Sam and ruffled his hair "you OK kiddo?"
"Yeah Dad" Sam replied
The ghosts having done their job stood back against the wall and waited.
"It's time Alicia you went back to your prison" Malakai told her. He pulled out a black battered leather bound book from inside his trench coat and opened it at the marked page.
Alicia knew her freedom had been short lived as Malakai started to read the ancient text from the book in al language that only she and Malakai understood.
As Malakai read the three hunters and Sam watched as Alicia true form was ripped from Isabel's body. Isabel's comatose body sank boneless to the floor. Alicia ghostly figure stood there she had long grey hair; there was a line on her face for every century of her existence. The few teeth she had were rotten with decay and her finger nails were long and black. She had a hunched back and her bow legs were thin like twigs.
Malakai turned the page in his book and read again, when he'd finished he closed the book and placed it back in his trench coat" he said "I have summons them they are coming for you, they will take you back"
"No" she screamed out "I'm not going back, never you hear me"
"It's too late their here" Malakai said
Two ghostly figures appeared from the wall behind her. A shiver ran down John's back when he saw one of the ghostly figures, it made his blood run cold it was the soul of his eldest son.
