Chapter 12: Helen

28 June 2014 - 12:06
West Gate Hotel, New Orleans

Jill woke up, she rubbed her eyes then checked the clock.

"Wait...I don't remember coming back to my room, last thing I remember I was driving." Jill said.

"You transferred too much of your energy to me and passed out. Luckily when you did that you gave me two of my powers back." Liam said giving her the cup of tea he was holding.

"Which powers?"

"I can choose when I want to become intangible and the whole influencing thing."

"You sound...I dunno sad what's wrong?"

"Besides the fact that I'm dead?" Liam said and let out a small laugh.

"How much...-" Jill got cut off.

"I can see two more sunrises, after that..."

"Your week is up." Jill said and got out of bed.

"Look Jill if I turn into a ghost I'll never be able to come back to life and I just want to tell you something...before-"

"If." Jill corrected.

"If I..." Liam got interrupted by a knock on the door.

Jill walked over and opened it.

Before she could even see who it was, the person walked into the room.

"Sorry can I help you?" Jill asked.

"No you can't but I can help you. I can help you stay out of trouble." She said.

"Hey I know you...you're...Helen you were seated next to me on our flight."

"No, I wasn't seated next to you. I hacked into the airport systems abd seated myself next to you." Helen corrected.

"What? Why?"

"I was hired by Will Bloomfield."

"That's our manager." Liam said as he walked next to Jill.

"That's right." Helen said and said down on a chair.

"Wait you can see me?" Liam asked.

"Of course I can see you, my eyes work perfectly." Helen said.

"I knew doppelgangers are supposed to be identical but this is ridiculous, you even share the same birthmark as Liam Payne. You look exactly like him, the girls...and boys must be all over you." Helen said, crossing her legs.

"What do you want?" Jill asked.

"Well you see I was hired by Bloomfield to find out whether Liam's death was an accident or not. Don't act surprised. From what I've seen and heard I know that you know about Liam's death." Helen said.

"I'll ask you again, what do you want from me." Jill asked.

"I want you to stay away from the rest of One Direction, I can't have anymore of them dying. I heard about your little stunt at the mall. Exactly how were you going to 'help'?"

"I...I know how to...I can bring Liam back." Jill blurted out.

"Was that supposed to be a joke, if it was then that was absolutely horrendous." Helen said.

"I can, and this isn't Liam's doppelganger it is Liam."

"Liam's dead." Helen said nonchalantly.

"And this is his spirit." Jill said.

"Spirit huh?" Helen said un crossing her legs.

She walked over to Liam and touched his chest.

"Spirit really, If he's a spirit how am I able to touch him? Look I don't have time for games. I just wanted to warn you. If you tell anyone about Liam's death before the conference or if you try and contact any of the other boys. I will take care of you myself. Understand?"

"Wait what conference?"

"A conference will be held tomorrow at Buckley Square, they are going to tell everyone the tragic news."

"Wait no! You can't tell everyone Liam's dead, I can save him I can bring him back!"

"Sure you can..." Helen said and walked to the door.

"I'm not going to let that conference happen." Jill said.

"I'm going to be there and if I so much as see you, I will...take you out." Helen said.

Jill grabbed Helen's shoulder. Helen grabbed Jill's hand and flipped Jill over her shoulder, making Jill hit the floor hard.

Helen put her high heel on Jill's throat.

"Hey Let her go!" Liam shouted and ran towards Helen.

Helen punched him in the stomach...but her hand went through him. Helen's eyes widened at what just happened.

She quickly composed herself.

"I have to go." She said as she stepped off Jill's throat and walked out of the room.

Jill stared coughing and held her throat.

Liam helped her up.

"I'm fine." Jill said rubbing her throat.

"I know that look, what are you going to do?" Liam asked.

"First I'm going to stop that conference then I'm going to kick that bitches ass and then I'm going to find your body." Jill said.

Helen exited the hotel and walked towards Jill's car. She took out something from her pocket. It was a tracker chip. She turned it on and a small red light started blinking.

She placed it under the car and walked away. She pulled out her PDA. A map showing the location of Jill's car popped up.

"Now, if you decide to crash the conference tomorrow I'll know and trust me I will be prepared." Helen said.

Back at the hotel Jill picked something up.

"Hey, when were you with Niall?" Jill asked.

"Why?"

"I can sense his aura around you." Jill said.

Flashback

Oliver put the car in drive. Liam walked through the car. But before he could take a seat next to Niall, the car moved. Liam was in front of Niall.

Liam was still intangible so when the car sped off he phased through it.

The taxi and Niall went right through Liam.

End Of Flashback

"He kind of went through me while I was intangible." Liam explained.

"That's why I can sense his aura on you. This is great I can track him now!" Jill shouted.

Jill closed her eyes and she saw Blue aura stream around Liam.

"Niall's aura is blue, like mine." Jill said and laughed.

She closed her eyes and when she opened them she looked at Liam. Jill extended her arm towards Liam.

"Uhm Jill what are you doing?" Liam asked nervously."

"Track." Jill said and the Blue stream extended from Liam and made a stream towards the door.

"Jill what is that?" Liam asked pointing to the blue stream coming from his chest.

"That's Niall's aura."

"Why is it sticking out of me?"

"So we can track it. All we have to do now if follow it. Think of it as Psychic GPS." Jill said.

"You've really been learning how to use your powers haven't you." Liam said.

"Of course. If when I find your body I'm going to have to use my powers to bring you back, and how can I do that if I don't know how to use them." Jill said.

"Now come on let's go!" Jill shouted, grabbed her jacket and ran out of the room.

"That girl is incredible." Liam said and followed her.

4th Junction Hotel

"Hey what do you think that girl was going on about?" Zayn asked.

"I don't know but she obviously knew about Liam's death." Harry replied.

"I don't know why but I feel like we can trust her you know." Niall said.

"She said she wanted to help us. Wonder how she was going to do that." Harry said.

"If she wanted to tell the public she would have done that already." Louis said.

"So maybe we can trust her." Zayn said.

"Yes we can." Niall said.

"What makes you so sure Niall?" Harry asked.

"I don't know. It's just a feeling I have. I feel like I can trust her. But with what I don't know yet."

"Too bad we don't know who she is." Zayn said.

"We could always try and find her." Harry said.

"But how?" Zayn asked.

New Orleans

Jill was driving, following Niall's aura when she saw something on the road ahead.

There was a sign written "Road Works Ahead!" Jill drove until she came up to a road block.

A man came running up to her car and she rolled down the window.

"I'm sorry miss but this road is under construction." The man said.

"But there's nothing wrong with the road." Jill said looking ahead.

"This part of the road has been repaired. It's the road further ahead that's blocked."

"So let me drive until that road."

"It's a one way road, there are no turns before the damaged road."

"Jill, we'll find another way" Liam said.

"Fine." Jill replied and turned her car around.

She drove a few feet away and then she sensed it. That man had a familiar aura around him. It was sea green.

"I know that aura. It's that bitch Helen's." Jill said.

"There is no road work, Helen set this up." Jill continued.

"How do you know that?" Liam asked.

"I just know." Jill said and swerved the car around.

"Jill what are you doing!" Liam shouted.

"What I should have done 3 minutes ago." Jill said.

She pressed the pedal as far as it could go and sped right through the wooden barricade.

"Jillian!" Liam shouted.

"What did you call me?" Jill asked.

"Jillian."

"Why would you call me Jillian?"

"Well your name is Jill so I assumed your full name is Jillian." Liam said.

"Well you assumed right. My name is Jillian, but I like Jill way better."

"I like both of your names." Liam said.

They sped down the highway much to Liam's dislike.

"Jill for the 6000th time, slow down."

"But we're almost there!"

Jill and Liam reached a...restaurant.

Jill exited the car and ran into it.

Jill entered the restaurant and saw a huge crowd leave through the other exit of the restaurant.

"Looking for someone?" Jill heard a voice say from behind her. She turned around and saw Helen sitting at a table, sipping on a Bloody Mary.

"Oh you know exactly who I'm looking for. And I know you planned...all of this!" Jill said to her.

"Would you stop acting like a barbarian for once in your life. You're causing a scene." Helen said calmly.

"Trust me you'll know when I cause a scene." Jill said sounding like Kayden.

"Miss, is there a problem here?" A man wearing a suit asked.

"No, I was just leaving." Jill said.

Jill walked out of the restaurant and saw a man sit at the same table as Helen.

He pulled out a big envelope out of his suit pocket.

"What is this?" Helen asked taking the package from him.

"You suspected that Li...the death wasn't an accident when the magazine with the boys faces scratched out next to a pile of money was found in the trucks glove compartment. Here's one half of the puzzle." He said.

Helen opened up the envelope and saw a dvd.

"I usually work alone but your assistance is appreciated." Helen said.

"Thank you." Helen said and walked out of the restaurant.

She got into her red convertible Porsche and drove away.

Jill and Liam were headed in the opposite direction.

"Can you track Niall's aura?" Liam asked.

"No it's faded, gone, I can't sense it anymore." Jill said and sped up.

"So what's next." Liam asked.

"We get ready." Jill said looking at him.

"Ready?"

"To crash that conference tomorrow. We have to. They're going to tell everyone about your death tomorrow. How are we going to explain it when I bring you back? Everyone will think it was just a publicity stunt and One Direction's credit will be flushed down the toilet." Jill said.

"You really thought of everything didn't you."

"Well that's just how I am, get used to it." Jill said.

"Oh I already am."

"Good." Jill said and laughed.

Jill drove through the barricade again but this time she didn't break anything, she just sped up. Unlike Kayden, Jill was a good driver.

Kayden wasn't so good with the whole driving thing but she had tons of other skills.

Kayden took gymnastics with Jill.

Kayden also attended one of the best wrestling schools in the country she also took a few Baji Quan classes.

Jill was now driving twice of what the speed limit was and she didn't plan on slowing down...

Tomorrow was a big day and they best be prepared.
