-Telepathy/Voices-

Last time:

As she lunged at me I spun to the side and knocked her down. All that got me was a nice deep slash in my side and a knife impaled into my calf. Knowing that she would enjoy me screaming I took a deep breath and kicked her across the room.

Mommy you're hurt!

"Billy get me the hell out of here!" I yelled at the kid and he grabbed my side and in a flash we were outside where a very haggard looking Ryan was waiting for me.

"Hurry Billy we've got to get out of here before they notice we're missing." I hurriedly yelled at Billy as I grabbed Ryan's arm. I helped him up and ignored the fact that I was loosing blood fast from my wounds.

Mommy, where are we supposed to go?

I thought for a minute while dragging Ryan beside me to the road. "Does Royce still have his car hidden around here somewhere?"

I'm not sure mommy, why?

"Go get Royce and drag him out here before the house closes itself up again. I'm going to start down the road with Ryan; just hurry." He nodded before flickering out of sight and I hoped that he could get himself and Royce out in time. "Common Ryan we've got to get out of here." I said while leading him away from the house and down the road. His legs seemed to buckle with every step and the pain from my wounds didn't help me any.

Let go of me haven't you done enough!

I ignored Ryan's outburst and continued to drag him down the road. He stopped struggling and seemed out of breath as if he had just ran at ten mile marathon. I could feel his heart beat becoming stronger the further we went on. About a mile down the road he fell to the ground dragging me with him and his arms latched around my waist.

…Bitch what the…hell… is happing to…me?

I couldn't calm him down and his body started to spasm and it took all the strength I had left to hold him down. He started coughing and small flecks of blood spackled my face and chest. 'Where the hell is that brat and Royce?' I yelled to myself while growling in anger. We hadn't gotten far enough away from the glass house and Cyrus could still find us. I was so worried about what was happening to Ryan I didn't hear the growl of the car behind me. I jumped when I felt a cold hand pull on my arm.

Mommy we have to hurry Cyrus knows your gone and is gonna send the other ghosts after you!

I turned towards the brat and nodded while eying Royce's car. It was a sweet ride; or was at one point in time. It looked like it needed a lot of work to put it back together. He frowned at me from behind the wheel and pointed to his wrist and rolled his eyes. "Billy help me get him into the car ok?" Before I could stand up Billy had dragged Ryan to the backseat and thrown him inside. I walked over and got into the car hoping that I wouldn't fall out and sighed when the brat climbed onto my lap and closed the door. I looked to the front seat to yell at Royce and noticed a blonde haired man nervously twisting the end of his shirt. He had blood dripping from a head wound and the smell made me growl as my blood lust rose. As the man jumped Billy laughed and then leaned between the seats to sock the guy in the arm.

Geeze Dennis relax, mommy's just a little hungry she won't eat much.

He broke into a fit of laughter as the man paled and turned to look at me. I noticed that he wore glasses and seemed totally spastic. I could smell his fear and I just smirked showing my fangs. He gulped and adjusted his glasses before taking a deep breath.

So you're the new girl that Cyrus brought over from New Borehamwood? I always thought you'd be…

I didn't let him finish as I growled and threw the kid on him he freaked out and started yelling.

Get off of me; Don't touch me. No get off!

Billy laughed and sat between the seats and poked at Dennis as he shivered and seemed to go into conniptions. I rolled my eyes and looked over to Ryan and gulped. His face was pale and he was raggedly breathing; his wounds were healed too. The rusted iron cage seemed too heavy and he seemed to have trouble lifting his head from the seat. I helped him sit up and he pushed me away, before I had a chance to do anything I was enshrouded in darkness and didn't even feel my head hit the window before my vision disappeared.

Billy's POV

I watched as that caged freak Ryan pushed my mommy away from him and something passed by her eyes. She seemed to become confused and her eyes rolled into her head. I flinched as her head hit the window and blood smeared as she fell to the floor. "Mommy!" I dove back to her but she was so pale and she wouldn't wake up. I carefully got her back into the seat and turned to Ryan. "You hurt my mommy, now you pay!" I lunged at him and started kicking and punching him. He moved slow as if he were underwater and I got a few good hits in before he flung me onto my mother.

"Leave me alone brat it's not my fault your mommy dropped dead." I could tell he was faking sarcasm and I jumped back into the front seat nearly driving Royce off the road. "Royce we've got to get to a hospital Ryan hurt mommy and she won't wake up. He quickly took a glance in the backseat before hitting the gas and sending me flying into the backseat once again.

I was about to yell at him when I caught his worried eyes in the rearview mirror and looked out the back window. My breath would have caught in my throat if I still needed to breathe; Cyrus and Kalina were standing in the middle of the road about a mile back and glaring at us. I noticed that Kalina was holding onto that stupid book of hers and flipping through the pages. "Oh no she's gonna read the drawing spell!" I started to think fast. "Turn on the radio the spell won't work if we can't hear it right?" I was grabbing at straws but it was worth a shot. Dennis swore to himself and tried to find a radio station that would come in and turned it up as loud as he could.

"This isn't going to work we're toast!" Royce yelled as he took a curve at breakneck speed. If he didn't slow down he could wreck his car again and kill my mommy, then that mean old Cyrus would add her to his collection. My plan was working the radio was drowning out the drawing spell and after we got mommy to a hospital she would be mine. That freak Ryan would leave her alone and we could live together forever. I smirked to myself and looked over to my mother hoping that she would be ok until we got to town.

"Royce look out!" Dennis yelled and grabbed on to the dashboard for dear life. Royce just barely managed to miss the squirrel and reached over to punch Dennis into the door. I could tell he was at his wits end and had the only reason we had escaped together was if I agreed to set him up with my mommy. I knew she would be angry but maybe things would work out for the best and I could get Ryan out of the picture. Sure Royce might try to make a move on her, but I was ready to fight him off if he did. After a few more hair raising turns the outskirts of town came into view and we all breathed a mental sigh of relief.

Dennis seemed to know his way around and pointed out where we needed to go to Royce. He seemed annoyed at the psychic but followed the directions and soon arrived at a hospital. We all looked around to see if we were spotted as Royce carried my mommy into the emergency room and set her on the floor. Ryan growled at us and walked off to try and get the iron cage off his head; Dennis decided it was safer to follow him then stay with us. After a few minutes she was discovered and quickly rushed off to a room and stripped of her clothing and thrown into a gown. I had to drag Royce away before he got too keen on peeking at my mommy.

"Hey what's the problem kid? I thought we were gonna help her." He leaned the bat on his shoulder and watched the nurses as they rushed from room to room.

"She's my mommy and I don't want you looking at her like…that." I manage to spit out before he wandered off after a blonde nurse. 'Stupid teenagers.' I muttered to myself before walking back into the room. She was hooked up to a bunch of different machines and had some tubes leading into her arm. One looked like water and the other was blood, I carefully jumped onto the bed and touched the bandages on her head. She wasn't cold but she wasn't as warm at the other people were. After a little while a doctor walked by and talked to a nurse saying something about major blood loss and surprised that she lived this long. 'Stupid doctors don't know anything' I growled just like my mommy and smiled to myself as the shadow of the nurse jumped and quickly rushed inside. The nurse seemed nervous as she checked all the machines and checked my mommy over. Suddenly Dennis flickered in and started to freak out.

"We've got a problem, Ryan managed to get that cage off of his head. Now he's trying to attack the nurses that helped him!" Dennis then flickered out of sight and I followed him. We grabbed Ryan and flickered back into my mommies room just in time to see Royce peeking down her gown. I dropped Ryan's arm and charged at Royce catching him by surprise and knocking him to the ground.

"I though I told you no to peek at her, what is wrong with you?" I yelled as I pummeled his torn body with my fists he then threw me off and grabbed his bat. He took a few swings at me before knocking over the stand carrying the blood and water connected to her arm. There was a ripping sound after the crash and the tape keeping the tubes in her arm ripped off tearing her vein open. I froze as Dennis grabbed a clean sheet and covered her arm stopping the spurting blood. He started to spasm like he did whenever somebody touched him and I just barely grabbed the sheet before he fell off the bed and went into seizures. After a few minutes the blood slowed down and a nurse walked in and quickly took over for me. I was the only one in the room and glad not to be seen.

"Royce what the hell is wrong with you she could have died!" I heard Dennis' muted voice from the next room over, the utility closet. After flickering over there I saw Dennis shaking and holding onto his arm while Royce was leaning against the wall. Ryan was curled up in the corner asleep and actually didn't look so bad without the cage. Dennis was acting strange as he yelled and his wounds had opened up again. I walked over and stood next to him.

"What's going on, why does the psychic look so strange?" I asked while poking his side making him wince.

"Billy something is seriously odd with that girl. She has the power to bring back the dead. Did Cyrus know that?" He yelled while turning to face me. I just shrugged and poked him again. "Stop that, if Cyrus gets a hold of her we're all doomed!" He was defiantly overreacting.

"How could you not know that Dennis?" Royce asked while pulling a worn pack of cigarettes from his pocket and pulling one out. "You saw what happened to Ryan, and it's happening to you." He put the cigarette in his mouth and lit it while taking a deep drag and exhaling. "Once you're revived I will have a great time killing you again for touching what's gonna be mine."

"What we had a deal I set you up with her and then you leave! She's my mommy and won't belong to any of you." I yelled and went back into her room. She was still sleeping but they had fixed her arm and put new tubes in. There was twice the amount of blood hanging then before and I figured she needed more in order to wake up. The beeping of the machines kept me up all night and I couldn't get any sleep. I wanted to break every one of them but I might end up hurting mommy so I didn't. She slept for two days straight and not once did the other ghosts come to see her. I was glad that they finally got the picture and left her to me. Once she woke up I helped her sit up and dragged her lunch tray to the bed. "Here you go mommy you must be hungry."

My POV

The beeping sound was driving me crazy and the light was burning my eyes. I was still kind of dizzy but somehow I managed to sit up. The lunch tray seemed to float it's way over to my bed and I thought that I had finally slipped the final distance into my psychosis. That is until I hear the brats voice.

Here you go mommy you must be hungry.

I couldn't see the kid so I rubbed my eyes and tried to blink the fuzz from my eyes. "Where are my glasses Billy?" I asked while I yawned, no use trying to tick the kid off while I can't see him. The glasses appeared at my side and I put them on and rolled my eyes as I saw his grin from all the attention he was getting. "Where is everyone else?" His grin disappeared and a scowl took its place.

They don't care about you mommy, I was the only one to stay with you while you were sick. They left and didn't look back.

'Was the kid telling the truth? Had they left me alone with the kid and forgotten about me? I could understand Ryan but what about the others?' I shook my head and tried to fight off the spots that danced in front of my eyes. The only way I was going to get better was to get out of here and have some fresh meat. Swallowing my pride I looked over to the kid and forced a grin. "Billy honey can you find me some clothes so we can get out of here?" I felt like I had to rip out my tongue after saying that but it made him happy and he reappeared with some clothes and left so I could change. After pulling off all the wires and tubes I pulled on the stupid flowery t-shirt and purple pants. The nurses outfit was tight and I hated it, but it was all the kid could find. I pulled on the stupid blue fuzzy socks and quietly made my way to the hall to find Billy waiting for me.

The coast is clear mommy, hurry this way!

He helped me get out safely and we snuck out to the parking lot just in time to see Royce's car pull up. Billy stomped his foot as Royce stopped in front of us.

Need a ride doll?

I ignored him and climbed into the passenger's seat while Billy jumped into the back. Royce had a sadistic smirk on his face as he drove off and took me to a motel on the far side of town. He parked the car and led us to one of the rooms on the very end and opened the door.

Your room awaits.

His comment made me growl but I stepped inside just to see a fully revived Ryan and Dennis? He was sitting in the corner with his arms wrapped around himself while slowly rocking back and fourth. Ryan was sitting on the bed and had actually cleaned himself up. He was wearing a pair of jeans and a black wife beater, and his hair was hanging around his shoulders like a black veil. His skin was still pale but had living hue to it. I could tell he was trying to ignore me so I walked over to Dennis and crouched by him. "I know how Ryan was resurrected but how did you?" I asked.

"After Royce knocked over the stand and ripped the IV from your arm. It tore a vein and you were bleeding everywhere. I grabbed a sheet a tried to stop the bleeding but I couldn't stand touching you and I fell off the bed." He wouldn't look me in the eye.

"Gee I feel loved." I growled.

"Its not that, I just can't touch anyone without going into spasms. I'm psychic, anyone I touch I can see their past and all the pain they've ever gone through. I thought that dying might have dulled it but it just made it worse." He stopped rocking and looked at me like he was seeing me for the first time. "Sara I…."

"Just shut up already." Ryan yelled from the bed. He got up and walked over to us and grabbed me around the middle. "I want answers." He said as he threw me on the bed. "First how come we were resurrected?"

"I don't know!" I yelled. "All I know is that Cyrus found me in the Asylum and dragged me to his house. The only people that even knew I was there were my family and the attendants." I growled and sat up glaring at him.

"I don't believe you, and I'm not gonna leave you alone until I have answers." Ryan then crawled on the bed and pinned me down. "And I will make sure I get my answers" With that his lips came crashing down on mine with a bruising kiss.
