A/N: Okay folks this is the last your gonna hear from your good buddy Mousewolf. My Best Bud VampireHelsing's takin' over from here.
The Haze formed into a man shape but it was neither Paul nor Anubis. It was an old man who I had never seen before. But judging by the shocked expression on my Aunt and Hook's face this was someone to avoid.
"Death smells like Roses." The old man said in a creaky voice. This alone was enough to make me want to avoid him for the rest of my life.
"Who are you" I asked stupidly, eliciting a glare that was half fear and half anger from the blond doctor. My Aunt Sally pulled her tiny gold cross out of her shirt and held it up in front of her.
"Get away from her you horrible old man!" She cried, a quaver in her voice which terrified me more than I had thought possible. I noticed that even Hook was making odd gestures as if to ward off the old man. With one last slightly dazed stare at the three of us the old man turned and walked away through the wall.
I turned around and noticed Stegman had gone too.
"Well it's good that he's not head neurosurgeon any more or else he would have tied us all to beds with four point restraints." Remarked Hook attempting a faint smile. I didn't really get the joke but my aunt Sally smiled faintly.
"Really Dr. Hook you shouldn't joke about such things. He did actually tie me to my bed on several occasions." Said my aunt, the colour beginning to return to her face.
"Erm Dr. Hook can I talk to my aunt for a few minutes please?" I asked. He looked at his watch and started.
"What Amy? Erm yes you can, I'm late for a meeting with Dr.Draper!" He rushed off and I looked at my aunt Sally for an explanation.
"Aunt Sally who was that old man and how come Dr.Stegman couldn't see him?" I asked quickly.
"Well dear the old man was a spirit, Dr. Gottreich, he died in the fire that burned down the old hospital. And Doctor Stegman well I'm not sure but either he can't see spirits, or he can but tries to ignore them." Aunt Sally remarked. "And as for Gottreich." She carried on. "Well I don't know why he's still here he should be gone by now." As if realizing that she had said something that she shouldn't she swiftly changed the subject "Now what was it that you wanted to tell me earlier?" she asked me.
I swiftly told her everything that had happened from the point where I had been hit by the car. Sally's eyes widened when she found out about Paul.
"That boy shouldn't be here either." She muttered. "Something must have gone wrong." She covered this with a vague "Carry on dear." And wandered out of the room.
