Chapter 7: Spirits In time, Were Trapped In This Room, They Possessed Us
Previously on 'Lost Loves'
'Emma, what's wrong?' he asked her.
'My parents are forcing me to marry. I don't want to marry him, he's heartless, callous and selfish, and I want nothing to do with him.' She said between sobs.
'Who?' he asked, still hugging her tightly.
'Harry.' She wailed, as another rush of tears over came her.
'Sshhhh, it's going to be all right; I won't let them take you away from me. We'll find a way, we'll be alright.' He said rocking her slowly back and forth calming her. 'I won't let them take you away from me.' And they sat on the hay-covered floor tight in each other's embrace.

'Yes, right Angel, you and Cordy make your way back to the attic and search through the letters, and keep an eye out for the ghosts. Myself, Fred and Gunn will start a downstairs search; there must be a study of some sorts around here somewhere. We'll meet back here in an hour to touch base.' ******************
'Spirits in time, were trapped in this room, they possessed us '
They sat in each other's embrace for what seemed like an eternity. Rocking slowly back and forth easing the sorrow that lay within. Their eyes tightly shut, blocking out the world and all who would disturb them. No longer was she crying, the only sound to be heard was her sniffles that came every few minutes, her eyes red and raw from crying and his shirt wet with her tears. The grandfather clock in the room chimed the passing of one hour and the beginning of another. She slowly opened her eyes, gazing around the darkened room; they sat in the light of the moon, which cast hollow shadows in the corners leaving things uncertain. He opened his eyes, taking in his surroundings, he could hear her heartbeat. She pulled away to look into his eyes; he was the first to speak.
'Are you okay?' he asked quietly. She nodded.
'I think so.' She replied just above a whisper, the quietness of the situation not completely gone. 'What happened?'
'Sprits in time, were trapped in this room, they possessed us.'
'At least we know what was happening with Emma and James. She was being forced to marry.'
'I have a feeling that this new information might just help us solve this case.'
She glanced up at the clock that stood behind him.
'We should be heading back to the others, we're suppose to touch base and let them know what we've found.' She said trying to stand with very little luck.
He got up and helped her, they both stretched, they had been sitting on the floor for at least the last half an hour and their joints were starting to ache.
'Yeah, I wonder if Wes and the guys found anymore clues?'
'Who knows, they may have found something.' She said picking up the candelabra; she gazed at the slowly diminishing candles. 'And it looks like we're gonna need some more light.'
'There should be some more downstairs, we can restock before we set out again.' He said as he took her hand and they made their way downstairs.
'Ah hum.' Fred coughed as she gazed down on the two sleeping figures on the couch in front of the fire in the lobby.
'Ahh, Angel Investigations, we help the helpless.' Wesley said as he bolted up from his sleep.
'Five more minutes.' Gunn grumbled as he turned over.
'Ahh Fred.' Wesley said rearranging his glasses that had fallen down his nose.
'Fred?' Gunn asked, suddenly wide-awake.
'Have you guys seen Cordy or Angel?' she asked as she sat down between the two of them.
'Ahh, no, not as of yet.' Wesley replied.
'Yeah, cause I'm sure you had a great view from where you were sitting.' Gunn said sarcastically.
Wesley gave him a look.
'I would have been able to have heard them coming, at least I would have if I could have heard anything over your incessant snoring.'
'Guys.' Fred spoke up.
'Sorry.' They said in unison.
They all turned when the heard Cordy and Angel enter the lobby.
'Hey guys, find anything?' Cordy asked.
'Yeah, you?' Gunn replied.
'Oh yeah.' She responded.
'Really, why don't you take a seat and we can discuss it further.' Wesley said motioning to the couch.
Glad for the warmth, Cordy took a seat beside the fireplace along with Fred, as Angel sat with Wesley and Gunn.
'So, what did y'all find?' Fred asked, her Texan accent shining through.
'Well we were on our way to the attic, to take a look at those letters, and Emma, the ghost passed through the wall right in front of us.' Cordy started.
'We followed her through the door to the next room where we were possessed again.' Angel finished.
'Man, what is it with you guys and possession?' Gunn asked.
'Just lucky I guess.' Cordy replied a little sarcastically.
'Anyway,' he continued. 'When we walked into the room we were Emma and James. She was talking to her parents who were visiting for a few days, it turns out they were forcing her to marry.'
'That's terrible.' Fred exclaimed.
'So this guy, Harry, his parents were really important and rich and her parents wanted her to marry him because of this. Anyway, she storms out of the room after making her excuses and goes to find James.' Cordy said filling in the blanks.
'They talk about it, after she stops crying, and he promises her that they'll never take her away from him.'
'I'll say, that makes more sense as to what we've found.' Wesley replied, removing his glasses, cleaning them then placing them back on his nose.
'What did you find?' Angel asked.
'Gunn found some old newspaper clippings of the marriage that was to take place between Harry and Emma.' He replied.
'We would have found out a lot more, if we hadn't been possessed ourselves.' Fred explained.
'Really, what happened to you guys?' Cordy asked looking over at them.
'Ahh, nothing that would help.' Wesley said nervously.
'Nope, nothing that we don't already know.' Said Gunn in the same manner.
'I don't know bout y'all, but I'm so tired.' Fred yawned.
'Me too, can we turn in for the night?' yawned Cordy, it was catching. Soon everyone was yawning.
'I think it best we do, we can start fresh tomorrow, come at it with a clear head.' Wesley replied standing.
'We need some more candles, do you know where they are?' Cordy asked.
'I think I remember seeing them on the kitchen sideboard.' Gunn replied.
'Thanks, anyone else?'
'Yeah, we could do with some more.' He replied.
They found the candles and some matches and said their goodnights. Heading on upstairs each turning into their respective rooms.
Not five minutes in the bed, Angel's bedroom door was slowly pushed opened. He could tell it was her before she even entered the room.
'Angel?'
'Yeah Cordy?'
'Can I stay in here tonight?'
'Why are you scared?' he said grinning.
'No.maybe a little, I mean phantom Dennis is different, for one he doesn't try to possess me at all hours of the night.'
He pulled back the blankets. 'Climb in.'
'Thank you.' She replied as she snuggled down into his embrace. He kissed the top of her head.
'G'night Angel.' She yawned closing her eyes.
'G'night Cordy.'
