We arrived back in silence, the death of Ellie hanging over us. I felt so guilty, I could've at least tried to save her from him, but I was too busy talking to him using petty words to care. I ran my fingers through my hair, frustrated about it when the car came to a halt and Edward got out, and up straight to his bedroom.
I breathed heavily, letting my head to stretch back before I closed my eyes and appeared in Edward's bathroom. He already had the shower running on max and was sat on the floor, running his hands slowly down his face.
"Why?" he mumbled, and for a second I thought I misheard, but he repeated it again.
I looked away, pained. Did he mean, 'Why am I stuck with her?', or, 'Why does this have to happen to me?' because I would have totally understood. In fact, I was curious as to why he didn't say it earlier.
"Why did he have to take Ellie?" Edward managed the whole sentence and suddenly I felt guilt take over once again. How could I think like that?
I sat next to him and wrapped my arms round him to comfort him. He shuddered and I smiled. He could feel me! Maybe he had just gotten used to my touch, and that's the reason why he didn't flinch anymore.
But I couldn't take up my precious thoughts with that, I had to sort out a way for Edward to see me again, without this monster after me.
Edward stood up and began to speak slowly, "It was him, yes?"
I kissed his cheek and he nodded.
"At least we know this guy is serious." Edward bowed his head so I touched his chin and tilted it up. I quickly wrote on the mirror to return to Edward and he read what I had written on there out loud.
"'He said I can help you. But I don't understand – do you?'" Edward pursed his lips, deep in thought before replying to my question, "Think about it. There are ghosts who move things. Simple things like keys and items, to big scale like throwing actual people across the room. I think you can do things like this, but you've got to practise. Bella, if you can move things then maybe you can move a pen on a piece of paper…" Edward stopped, not sure whether to continue, and in the end he didn't, most probably because it would involve him getting his hopes up.
"You do know, Ellie wasn't the only psychic who could help us. Jas and Em said there was actually a couple others that would be willing to help. Maybe we could try them out. They live further out though, that's the only catch." Edward's face lit with hope, and I could feel excitement glow in me aswell.
"Let's do it." I wrote on the mirror and Edward sprinted out of the bathroom, and I was about to follow when a glow caught my eye. I walked unsteadily towards it, not sure whether it was 'the light' or not, because I felt like I wasn't ready to go yet, but the close I got the more I could see a spirit form – the spirit in the shape of Ellie.
"I don't have long Bella." Ellie warned me, but I still couldn't get over the fact that she looked so, so real still.
"Are you going into the light?" I asked her, tilting my head to one side, seeing the light gain on her.
"Yes. The guy, I've tracked him and this is his address," Ellie handed over a slip of paper and continued quickly, "And the person who killed you. They're-" but Ellie's voice was so distorted I couldn't make out what she was saying. She was becoming more transparent and I could tell she only had a couple seconds left.
"Who are they?" I asked; my eyes wide.
Ellie mouthed a name, a name I couldn't understand before she turned a brilliant colour of pure white and flashed off into thin air.
She was gone now, and I knew she wouldn't come back. Ever. I could feel tears welling up, but none fell and I turned towards the door. I appeared right by the front door, with Edward rushing towards me.
"I'll call you when I reach Utah!" Edward called out, rushing through me and exiting the house like a gust of wind.
I rushed after him and dropped the note in front of him when he sat down in his Volvo.
Edwards brows knitted together until he read it.
"That's Ellie's handwriting?" Edward glanced over to the front passenger seat before reading the actual note.
"We've got to go there!" Edward began to start the car but he couldn't find he car keys.
I dangled them in front of him before I switched the radio on, with a man saying in role-play, "Never!" and quickly switched it randomly onto another one with a woman singing the lyrics, "I'll go." I frowned at the oddness of what I just did but Edward shook his head anyway.
"You can't, you've got to be near me. And Bella – you're clumsy. No offense or anything but I could be in and out of there, examined every nook and cranny in ten seconds. Trust me on this one Bella." Edward took the floating keys from me and started the car up.
"Fine," I grumbled, crossing my arms and slouching in my seat.
We arrived in just over ten minutes. Edward was right again, he did live near. The sky had gone a beautiful shade of rosy pink, to which I just stared in awe. I had witnessed many sunsets, but this one captured me, and as the sky turned into a deep violet colour Edward had been inside for just under five minutes. He parked a couple blocks away, and even though he had told me to stay inside the car I followed him to the last block, before letting him complete the journey by himself.
I snapped my head in the direction of where I last seen Edward as a scream echoed across the street and I raced to find the source. And what I came across shocked me…
I just love leaving you on cliffy's – enjoy your holidays and I will be updating some point next year
Byeee
