Sally phased in front of Aidan, "Seriously? Didn't you guys have sex the last time you were in the same room together?"
"Excuse me! I need to go and check on something" Aidan stopped kissing Kat.
"Now, Aidan?" Kat moaned, "I thought you wanted to try that 'thing' we were talking about. You can check on it later"
"I-I just have to check the oven" Aidan lied. "I'll be back in a minute"
"Hurry back" Kat smiled, "I won't wait all night"
"Don't get too comfortable" Aidan winked, "I'll be right back"
"That's disgusting, Aidan, sleeping in the bed that I just died in" Sally said to him as he walked right by her.
Sally looked over to Kat who lied back down on her bed, making Sally roll her eyes and phase out of the room. She appeared inside Aidan's bedroom just as she heard footsteps going down the stairs. Aidan appeared but ignored the ghost as he bolted over to his mini-refrigerator. He opened up a blood bag and took in a few gulps before he decided it was time to scold Sally.
"You said you were going out, Sally" Aidan finally said, "I didn't expect you to pop in out of nowhere"
Sally rolled her eyes and crossed her arms over her chest, "And I didn't expect you to be doing the nasty in my room"
"I couldn't exactly bring her down here, Sally" Aidan replied.
Sally was about to open her mouth to argue again when she stopped and remembered why she had come. The look on Heather's face frightened her into fearing for the spirit witch's life. She knew that she was playing right into Donna's hands. Sally took a step toward her friend as she tried to get his attention.
Aidan walked over to his bed and started to get impatient with Sally. He knew that Sally wouldn't want to pop in out of nowhere in the middle of him and Kat having sex. Or on the other hand, she just might. He stared at her and waited as she nervously bit her bottom lip.
"We have a huge problem on our hands" Sally finally said.
Aidan looked at Sally as she slowly made her way over to his bed and sat down. He studied his friend and noticed how scared she looked. He hadn't seen her like this since before her very last moments of dying. Aidan slowly put his half-empty blood bag down and walked over to her.
Sally felt her hands trembling as she finally felt the fear seeping into her body. She was going to have to face Donna again. This time as a ghost and possibly more pissed than ever. Aidan sat down next to her and watched his friend for a while.
He moved to place his hand on her knee but hesitated, "What's wrong?"
"It's Heather, Aidan, her daughter's been kidnapped" Sally said in a small voice.
"How?" Aidan demanded.
"By Donna" Sally's voice shook.
Aidan didn't know what was expected to come out of Sally's mouth upon hearing that Maria was missing. A kidnapper, she ran away, he even considered that a boogeyman had taken the sweet little girl. But hearing the blood witch's name made Aidan jump up to his feet and stared at Sally. She slowly turned and looked up to his face.
He could see in her eyes that she was telling the truth. Aidan slammed his eyes shut, rubbed his hands over his face, and paced the room. He didn't want to believe that Donna had unfinished business that would make her stick around. Aidan turned around and knelt down in front of Sally, forcing her to look at him.
Aidan looked up to her, "Why would she take Maria?"
"To trade for me" Sally said.
"She's not going to have any of you" Aidan said firmly, "Where's Heather?"
"She's already gone after her" Sally informed.
Aidan rubbed the back of his neck, "What happened? I know you wouldn't leave her side. When did she leave, Sally, and where?"
"She kept on stabbing me with an iron nail" Sally responded.
"Where is she headed?"
"To the forest downtown"
"Are you talking about the one that's in the direction to Worcester?" Aidan suddenly asked.
"I think so" Sally nodded.
"This really can't be happening"
"Aidan?" Sally questioned, "What's wrong?"
"That's where Josh is turning tonight" Aidan informed her.
"The cabin is in the middle of the woods" Sally responded, "Aidan; she's going to have to walk at least a mile and a half to get to there"
"Josh will pick up her scent" Aidan put in, "His wolf will feel intrigued by her and might hunt her down"
"Does she know?" Sally asked.
"I don't know" Aidan shook his head.
"Hurry, Aidan, we got to go" Sally got up, "She can't fight off a ghost"
"You know what this may mean" Aidan said to her.
"Heather did it for me so I'm doing it for her" Sally nodded.
"I just need to get a few things" Aidan got up too.
"And get rid of your girlfriend" Sally reminded him.
"It'll only take a minute, Sally, but we'll get there in time" Aidan told her.
"I hope so" Sally muttered.
"She's probably just at the woods right now. Let me just get rid of Kat" Aidan responded, "Sally, keep an eye on her until I get there"
Hey Everyone! I just wanted to let you guys know that I made a poster for this story and would like you guys to see it! Just go onto my homepage and get a hold of that link at the bottom of my bio page. Sorry about how it looks on this site but I'm not really quite used to adjusting the poster to a perfect size just yet.
