DISCLAIMER: I own nothing and no recognizable characters from Hellboy. I am just a poor college student who also happens to be a rabid fan and this just happens to be a fanfiction that my mind came up with that I feel like sharing with other fans. I make absolutely NO money from this fanfic. It is merely for fun and hopefully the enjoyment of other fans. Please don't sue and fans please enjoy.

Chapter 11: Calling You

"Abe, what's going on?" William asked not a just little worriedly once the pair had finally stopped to rest at some boulders along the pathway not far from Martha's house. "Why was a dolphin talking to you? What was that thing? And–"

"Please," the Icthyo sapien said a little breathlessly holding up a hand. "I don't know everything either. My guess was it was a possession of some sort. The being, whatever it was, she felt… wrong but at the same time she belongs. I just don't know. She's obviously angry about something, that her 'child is dead,' and she's blaming humans, but I just don't know anything else."

"She?"

"The spirit or whatever it was defiantly had feminine qualities." The Icthyo sapien said matter-a-factly.

William gave him a hard look.

"What?" Abe asked looking up at the old medic. "I do know what I'm talking about, you know. I do this for a living."

"So you're a governmental ghost hunter?" the old soldier asked a bit skeptically.

"Sometimes," Abe answered seriously back to him. "But I highly doubt the entity we just encountered was a ghost. It was most probably an elemental or somethin– … some–" The Icthyo sapien's voice drifted away. His eyes grew unfocused as he heard a silent call from the forest, commanding him to come.

"Abe? Abe?!" William yelled as the Icthyo sapien rose and headed towards the forest without another word. This was all getting too weird. First evil, possessed dolphins and now this. The old medic tried shaking his blue friend, standing in his way, anything, but nothing worked. Abraham continued on totally unresponsive.

"Dammit Abraham," the old soldier grumbled jogging to catch up with the Icthyo sapien unfaltering gait as he neared the edge of the forest by Martha's house. Great pine trees rose up before them and the rich smell and sounds of the wood and wildlife could be easily heard. William was seriously thinking of just grabbing Abe in a fireman's carry and hauling him back to Martha's house, but before the medic could, Abe crosses into the forest.

William tried to follow, but he hit an invisible barrier. He tried again, but with no greater success. Reaching his arms wide, the old medic attempted to find some hole in the invisible barricade, but there was none. He couldn't get through. Something didn't want him to get through. The old soldier yelled at Abe, trying to get the Icthyo sapiento turn back, but it was no use. Abe couldn't hear him. William beat on the barrier trying now desperately to get through. After his last encounter with 'the weird,' he was frankly positive whatever was enticing Abe deeper into the forest wasn't good, but despite all the old soldier's efforts the Icthyo sapien never once looked back and soon enough he was lost from the medics view in the shadows of the wood.

TBC…

Cliffhanger! Me so evil… Hope you are still enjoying the reading and please review. See you with the next chapter.

Note to my wonderful reviewers: Um, I just got advised by another writer on this website that I may get into trouble responding to your reviews in my chapters. If this isn't true please someone tell me, but since I am not sure I am going to start replying to reviews on the review page (which turn into private messages I have found) unless there is a question that is important for me to answer for everyone or unless the person is an anon reviewer… I'm not quiet sure what this will do… I'm also not sure if these responses will show up for everyone to see. In general I just don't know. We'll all have to just wait and see. If I disappear for a while it just means I'm being penalized by the site for accidentally breaking some rule. Anyway, thank you everyone for reviewing this chapter namely Echodex, SesshiraRayu and Sapienlover.
