Chapter XXVI: Underneath Adventure

Previously on Ghost Whisperer:
"Why is she helping me that lot? How does she know the one of them is dying? Maybe, she only wants me to get down there, and Jim and Andrea aren't even here?"

Finally she found and opened the trapdoor. Melinda found a flashlight on the kitchen counter. She grabbed it and climbed down on the ladder into the darkness.

Melinda found herself in a dark and cold cave, with a lot of shelves on it's walls. She turned on the flaslight and started to walk in the cave towards the only way she could go. She saw a few ghosts, with old and torn clothes.

"Probably the house's previous owners" she thought.

She could walk for minutes, when she finally see someone lying on the floor. The flashlight's light reflected on a white dress.

"Andrea!" she called out. Melinda ran up to her, and helped her sit up.

"Andrea! You okay?"

"What's going on, Melinda? Where are we?" Andrea looked around confused in the cave.

"In a wine-cave. Did you see Jim?"

"Ouh, not exactly. The only thing I remember seeing was a red truck from inside, and then everything went black..."

"It's okay, Andrea. I'm glad you at least okay! Come with me, we need to find Jim!"

Melinda's voice was filled with worry. She remembered clearly what Mrs. Stewart said.

"One of them is dying, I can feel it..."

Melinda was terrified. If Andrea was allright, Jim was the one who was dying. She helped Andrea got up from the ground and they continued their journey further down in the cave. After a half an hour, Melinda catched a glimpse of a ghosts. She couldn't see it clearly, but she felt that something wrong was still going on. Melinda started to ran after the ghost, with Andrea behind her. Suddenly there were 2 ways to go on in the cave. She catched a glimpse of that ghost again. She moved the light on to it to see it's face. Melinda's heart nearly stopped. It was Jim.

"Jim! NOO!!!" Melinda started to ran after him, with Andrea still behind her. After ranning through the darkest cave she's ever seen, Melinda saw him. He was lying on the ground, with a blood-pool around him.

"NO! Jim, please, not you!!" she ran up to him and dropped the flaslight. Melinda see that the wound was not serious, but probably someone could hit his head, what cause him to be a ghost. She didn't wanted to think about that word, she didn't wanted to hear from herself. Dead. She knew he was. But then remembered what Jim said her to before. She started to pump his chest, blowing air into his lungs, desperately to bring him back. Jim was standing front of Melinda, watching her, making him come back while grappling with her tears, not letting them to flow down on her cheek. Andrea was just watching Melinda. She couldn't help. Her cellphone wasn't with her, someone could've dropped on the way here.

"Jim! Please, I need you. Come back please!" Melinda pleaded to Jim, she wasn't sure if she was talking to his body or his ghost, she just continued what she did before. And luckily, after a few seconds, Melinda brought him back. His ghost disappeared, and she could feel his pulse.

"Oh my God! Thank you!" Melinda cried out loud, and fall on his body. Andrea knew, that she couldn't help, so she just stood their, watching them. Minutes flew by and suddenly Melinda could feel the touch of Jim's hand on her hair. She looked up and could see his dreamy oceanblue eyes staring at her.

"Jim! I love you so much!" she kissed him. Jim was gasping for air first, before he answered to her.

"I love you too, Mel! And I'm so proud of you!" Melinda helped him sit up, but the pain inside Jim's body nearly let him.

"Jim, you'll need to get up somehow. There is no signal down here. We need to get out, so I can call an ambulance for you, or take you to the hospital myself."

Jim nodded weakly. He felt himself weak, but he trusted Melinda enough to know that she will desperately get him out somehow, and the only way he could help her was trying to get up. It took 10 minutes to help Andrea and Melinda to Jim to get up. Andrea took the flaslight in her other hand and they were walking out slowly from the cave.

"Does that really hurt?" Melinda asked, pointing at Jim's wound. It was on his left leg, and it seemed to her like his leg was broken, but she wasn't so sure about it.

"It's kinda bad, but till you are here with me, I'm fine." he smiled at her. Melinda was happy. Happy that she came just in time, finding her loved ones, before anything went worse than this. After an hour of walking they finally climbed out of the cave on the ladder. Melinda helped Jim, with pulling him up with Andrea from the ground. Then he felt himself weak again, and needed to sit down. Melinda let him sat down to the couch on the hallway.

"Look, guys, my car is just outside at the front door. I can't let you here, so we will need to continue this road." Melinda said, helping Jim to stand up again.

"What's this rush, Mel? We're fine now, right?" Jim asked as they started to walk again towards to exit.

"No, Jim, especially you are not fine. Both of you need a doctor to check you." Melinda said, but suddenly, she had to stop. She felt herself dizzy.

"What's wrong, Mel?" Jim asked concerned. Melinda looked around, and suddenly came face to face with the angriest ghost she has ever seen. With Mr. Stewart. He was standing at the front door, staring at them, with fury in his eyes. She knew, he wouldn't let them out so easy. Melinda had to find a way to get her friends out, before it will be all late.
