Ch 22 Travels through doors
^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^
Jesse's POV
I had snuck into Debbie's room next door and to my bewilderment, she wasn't in it. What's more is that she had a whole wardrobe in her closet. Why couldn't Susannah and I have our own wardrobe and what happened to our clothes?
Odd...
Something wasn't right but I had no time to ponder this, I had to help Susannah get clothes, it wasn't proper for her to be in this situation. All because of that b-!
I took some clothes for Susannah and she inattentively put them on. I prayed to God that the drug wouldn't affect me and I felt strong; I didn't feel queasy and the dull headache wasn't throbbing anymore.
Thank you Dios!
Unfortunately, Susannah wasn't very...sane. The drugs were affecting her more than me, I suppose because I was once a ghost and things don't affect me as much as they do to people who haven't been dead for over a hundred years and she...was...acting...odd. Her eyes were unfocused and she was facing me, reaching for my, err...
"I'm sorry querida."
I had to restrain Susannah so I ended up tying her up in a sheet. While she was thrashing around, I rushed into the bathroom since after all; I had eaten the pills too. Just in case of there was a side-effect, I locked the bathroom door and stared at the wall, trying to concentrate on a smug, but I couldn't hear Susannah calling my name anymore.
I unlocked the door and saw Paul (BASTARDO! What is he doing here) hovering over querida. Susannah's eyes were unfocused still and she was swaying around. Paul grabbed her arm and Paul and her fainted.
They had shifted.
"No!" I shouted, "Querida!" I went to her limp body, now clothed in Debbie's clothes. Yes, they had shifted. I had no choice but to shift as well.
I knew how since I've watched Susannah so I tried to picture the hallway that Paul's brother, Jack, exorcised me into. I had waited for what seemed like an eternity that day until Susannah saved me.
I shut my eyes and when I opened them, I was in the hallway, full of doors and fog.
"Susannah!" I yelled and I walked on into the fog. Where did that- that-demon take her? This was my entire fault, I leave Susannah for a second and she is whisked off with Paul!
I walked further on, and I saw Susannah, going through a door with Paul.
"QUERIDA!" I hollered but she didn't even flinch. Paul looked at me and grinned. They walked through the door and disappeared in a blinding light.
I ran to that door and touched it, but it wouldn't open. I started hitting on the door but it wouldn't budge.
"No!"
After ten minutes, I finally turned the doorknob, and I was in another hallway that was all white. I had let my stupidity get to my head.
"Susannah! Querida, where are you?" I looked around but all I saw was white, it was the same color of my old shirts that I had worn in the past.
"Susannah!!"
I walked around but it seemed like it was in circles until I saw a shiny, brass doorknob. I ran towards it but it seemed to be getting farther and farther away. I stopped and reached for it but it seemed further than what it had been.
I stepped back and the doorknob was closer so I kept stepping backwards until the doorknob was within my reach. I grasped the handle and turned it. To my astonishment, it was unlocked. Obviously someone thought I was rather shallow.
I walked inside and found myself in another room, with more doors. It was like some elaborate show on the television, like where you receive a present and in the box is not one, but many other smaller boxers until you get to the middle which would be a small and plain object saying that you had wasted your time.
The door to my right was lavender with a purple shape on the door. The door in front of me was black with a large broken red heart on it. The door to my left was white, just like the room I was in earlier.
Dios, help me...which door...
"JESSE!!"
Who said that?
"JESSE, SAVE ME! I'M IN THE ONE IN FRONT OF YOU, THE BLACK ONE! SAVE ME!"
Was I hallucinating or no? I didn't have time to think so I opened that door and I was in another room. If I were a ghost still I wouldn't need all this hassle trying to save querida, I would have just been able to materialize next to her.
This room had no lights and it was painted black. How was I going to save her?
I ripped a long loose thread from my shorts and I tied it to the doorknob and then I walked forward, blindly groping for something—and then I hit my hand against something warm. I felt it and it was indeed warm.
I strained my eyes and all of a sudden, a bright, blue aura surrounded me like when I was a ghost and I saw that it was Susannah. She was tied up and from the expression on her face, she was very lucid and she was rather upset looking.

Suze's POV
We went home.
After we (Actually I) beat up some people. Recap:
"This is for poisoning my drinks. *Punch* this is for undoing my bikini, yeah I remember! *Slap* and this is for poisoning Jesse's drink and almost ruining MY honor as well as Jesse's! *SMACK* this is for me even coming here *WHACK* this is for ruining my Friday!"
Yeah, I felt good after venting a little.
Okay a lot.
"Suzie, you're home? Where's Brad? Shouldn't he be here too?" My mom walked in from the kitchen and stared at me.
"Oh, Bozo, I mean, Brad's still at the party. Jesse and I wanted to go home early since they weren't being very nice to us since Jesse's new."
God, I hate Brad!
"Okay then..." Then my mother left. I sighed and looked at Jesse. HE LOVED ME!!!!!
HE actually proposed!
I left Jesse in the kitchen as he ate and I went to my room. Early morning six o' clock sunshine streamed into my room and I looked around. Everything seemed perfect, just one thing wasn't right.
The birds weren't chirping
And the ring Jesse gave me was missing.
Something definitely wasn't right and I felt a tap on my shoulder.
"Did you miss me Suze?"
I whirled around and punched whoever it was but missed.
It was Paul, AGAIN, coming to interrogate or harass me, one or both. I kicked and he grabbed my foot and twisted it painfully.
The next thing I knew was that I was in another room after walking through MORE doors. My arm was twisted painfully back, tied and my legs were also bent in an odd angle and I was now in a room with Paul and Crissi, both looking smug.
"Don't worry, you'll be alright, but your boyfriend won't be. Crissi will take care of him. We should have finished him off earlier in that black room but I spared him. Be happy."
Jesse!
Why was this happening to me? What did I do WRONG?
^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^
A/N: Sorry this chapter is so short! I've been so busy but I promise that I'll update as quickly as possible. I have to write this report and...yeah.
The climax is drawing closer...
I also changed a bit of the last chapter; I figured it wasn't very good of me so I changed it. :D It wasn't very "wholesome" . Sorry!!
