Emily- Oh NOOOO! NOT INTERESTING AHHHHH::runs and hides: hehe you are a fun person to write to lol. I can't wait for the next review (hint hint) you are the only person who reviews every chapter…you rock my socks! (btw is a very good compliment from me) Hope you like this chapter too. Jake plays a bigger part in this chap. Tell me what you think.

Elizabeth- I explained it to you last night, so I have no need to write it down again…yeah I'm lazy. You need to finish reading my story and then read all the books…yes I know you have a lot of books to read right now, and HP is the first on your list, but mediator won't take long to read….just ask Mags she read #3 and #4 in one day. Thanks for the compliment.

Theresa- I think my muse works through you because I was having trouble writing this chapter and the 7th but was able to when you talked to me online. So thanks for all the help. You also rock my socks. Now do you feel special?

Ok so here is chapter 8 even though I am not sure if anyone is really reading my story (besides Emily and other lovely people) since I am not getting many reviews. So, Emily I guess this chapter is dedicated for you! Oh my bestest friend Mags, helped come up with an idea for this chapter so if it sucks blame her…I'm joking Maggie…

CHAPTER 8

I spun around and said, "I've been waiting for you Suze," I guess I freaked her out because she started screaming really loud. I know how to stop that though...

Jake POV

Ok, so supposedly Suze can talk to ghosts. Not just that, but she likes a dead guy.…how weird is that? I mean, sure it's one thing to like a dead celebrity (I have always had a thing for Marlin Monroe) but liking a ghost? I never even knew that she could see ghost.…who would have thought it? I mean it seems like….I don't know….a ghost story. No pun intended.

Dave was totally freaking me out. He was saying all this stuff about Suze and how she needed our help. Well, me being the protective older brother that I am, I decided to do what Dave said. I didn't really believe him, but I didn't see any harm in going to the mission. I haven't been there since I graduated, so I wanted to see it. Then, on the way to The Mission, Dave was telling me about a ghost, and I so didn't believe him. Well, that was until he showed me Jesse. Dude! Let me tell you, it was freaky seeing a ghost, but a sweet freaky. He told me I needed to help them get to Suze (well he said Susannah). I could tell by his tone of voice that he cares for my stepsister. I guess having this big glowing thing talk to me, and his voice is very…I don't know but it just seemed he wasn't from around he. Like, he sounded Spanish or something. So here I was talking to a glowing Spanish ghost, and I was freaking out. You would be too if he talked to you! (A/N hmm more like swooning for the girls lol)

When we got to the Mission, we decided to split up to cover more area. I still don't get how they know, or think they know, Slater is here to get Suze. I swear if he touched a hair on her head, or anything on her, he is going to get some serious whoop-ass. Dave and Jesse were both very upset about this, which made me hate this Paul guy even more. I…grrrr I hate him I think.

I started walking through the breezeway, hoping I didn't run into tourists. I wasn't sure where to look, so I just walked. I got to the courtyard and noticed that lights were on inside the school and rectory. I decided to check the rectory first.

I went to the front desk and started talking to the secretary. I guess she recognized me because she went, "Jake? Is that you? What are you doing her at The Mission?"

I wasn't sure what to do, but turning away and avoiding all questions was tempting. I said, "I, uh, had to ask Fr Dom a question for a report I am doing for a college course." Hey, it could happen…Well, maybe not. "So, is he here?" Ask nicely Jake… "Uh, I mean would you mind telling Fr. Dominic that I have some questions for him, please?" That should get her to get him.

It must have worked because she smiled and said, "Jake, my my! You definitely have very good manners for a college boy. Your father has raised you well. Your mother too, God rest her soul."

I hate it when people do that. Say "God Rest my mom's soul" and stuff like that. I know they mean well and all, but come on; its not fun being reminded that your mom is dead! Anyway, she finally took me to Fr. Dominic's office in the Rectory (A/N Paul is in his office in the school). He was in there and looked a bit surprised to see me.

The secretary said all cheerfully, "Hello Fr. Dominic! Look who is here to see you! Jake! He needs to ask you some questions for one of his classes." He raised an eyebrow when he heard this and looked at me weirdly. Yeah, nothing gets past Fr. D.

When the secretary finally left Fr Dom said, "Jake? What are you really doing here? I know it has nothing to do with school." Yup, like I said nothing gets past him.

"Yeah, your right…It has to do with Suze," I couldn't finish because he stopped me.

"What? What has she done now? I swear one of these days she will kill herself with her mediator ways…" This time it was he who stopped mid-sentence. He didn't know I knew about mediators. He looked embarrassed so I guess he told Suze he wouldn't tell people.

"Don't worry Father D, I already know about mediators, well sort of." There still is a bunch I don't know.

"Oh!" He sounded happy at this. "Did Susannah finally tell your family about it?" She never told her mom? Wow she must really not like it.

"Um, not quite…Dave and Jesse told me," I wonder how he would take this.

"WHAT?" Hmm, better than I thought. "Why would they do such a thing? Jesse would never do something that extreme unless… Jake! What has happened to Susannah?" He sounded really worried about her. It is amazing how many people she can get worried for her.

"Well, you see I don't know. I don't even know why I am here. They just told me to drive them here. They said something about Paul and they were really worried," I told him. When I mentioned Paul, Fr. D looked both worried and mad. He must not like this dude either.

"Jake, this is very serious…if Paul wanted to he could do anything…and I mean ANYTHING to your sister."

"Oh…OH he wouldn't would he?" I caught what he meant about anything…I swear if that punk touches Suze he will pay!

"Let's hope not, but you never know what Paul will do next. I can't kick out of school though because he has never done anything that wrong at school. He is a very smart boy. Almost too smart for his good."

"Well…" I said not knowing exactly what to do. "I guess we should find them now."

"Yes, yes we should."

We started walking towards the school building. When we got outside I took a deep breath and yelled, "DAAAVE! DUDE, WHERE ARE YOU MAN?" I can yell pretty loud so I was pretty certain he would hear me.

Apparently, Fr. D thought I was loud too because he said, "Jake! Must you be so loud? We have visitors here at the school all the time!" Oops, I forgot. Oh, well.

"Well, its what we do at our house and it is a fast way of finding people." He just sighed and didn't say anything.

I finally heard, "JAAAKE! WE ARE BY THE SCHOOL ENTRENCE…COME ON WE ARE CHECKING INSIDE!"

"WAIT! I FOUND FATHER DOM!" I thought he could be helpful and he is going anyway.

"GOOD! HURRY IT UP WE NEED TO GO QUICKLY!"

"Come on Fr. D they are getting inpatient. We don't want them doing anything rash or whatever." We started walking…well more like running…towards the school entrance. We got there and saw Dave and Jesse. Well, I didn't see Jesse but Fr. D did. Anyway, we all then stopped to discuss the situation.

There was a pause, so I guess Jesse was talking then Dave said, "Yeah, but what if Suze isn't in danger and Paul isn't here. Or maybe he doesn't want to hurt her. If he really does love her as much as he seems to I don't think he would hurt her."

After Dave said this, the school door started to shake as if an earthquake was taking place. It was not an earthquake though because the ground wasn't shaking. "Hey! What's going on?" I was very confused.

Father Dom let out a frustrated sound and said, "Jesse! Control yourself. Calm down and stop shaking the door." Whoa! Sweet! He can shake stuff with his mind! What's that called again? I don't know but it is cool.

We finally made it inside, and we continued on our search to find Susannah. This time we didn't split up into small groups like before, but Jesse did go off by himself since he can go through walls and stuff. I really hope she is okay and all that. And I wasn't joking when I said the thing about hurting Slater if he does anything…

Suze's POV

Ok, why the hell is Paul in Father Dom's chair? This is just a little bit freaky. I mean, you would scream too, if you saw the guy you hate the most in the world sitting here waiting for you. Waiting here for what though? He…he wouldn't hurt me would he? God, he BETTER not! He will be soo dead if he tries, and if I don't kill him I know some people who gladly would. Oh my gawd! What if he wants to...wants to eew! That would be even worse! I can take pain, but if he did anything like THAT…Ew I don't want to think of that.

I was still kind of screaming…well more like yelling at him. I remember saying, "Paul! What are you doing here? Oh my god! I have told a million times get away from me! What the hell are you doing? Stalking me?" I went on like that for a while, well until he stood up and walked over to me. He had a look on his face. I have seen that look before…

-FLASHBACK-

"That's really nice Suze," Paul said, "but I don't care about who you have or haven't called before. What I want to know is WHY you called me here...especially at this current moment." When he said this he was staring below my neck, if you know what I mean. I didn't notice until now that my shower curtain had plastered itself onto my skin and also that you could see everything.
"Paul! You pervert! God, you seriously think I would call you here when I was taking a shower...ON PURPOSE? Or anytime at all really?" Oh crap. I really do not like the look on Paul's face. He had this same look when I was in his bedroom with him. This definitely isn't good!

-END OF FLASHBACK-

You know, the whole animal stalking its prey look. Except this was Paul not a lion and he is stalking me not some other animal…Wait Paul is an animal. I mean that in the bad way…you know the way guys act.

Jesse was there to stop Paul before when we were in the bathroom. Sure, I am not afraid of ghosts, vampires, and stuff like that but I am scared to death of Paul Slater. I just can't help it. This time though, I wasn't scared of him hurting me; I was scared he would kiss me like he has before. And just like those times, I would fall into his trap and enjoy the kisses and forget about Jesse. I can't do that. I love Jesse and I am finally thinking he likes me too.

Paul was getting nearer and nearer. He finally was six inches in front of me. I felt my throat close up and I gasped for air. I needed to say something but I couldn't. I needed help, but what could I do? I couldn't yell. My new ability! I will call Jesse with my mind.

I closed my eyes and thought, "JEEEEEESEE!" with all of my brainpower.

I opened my eyes and Paul was in my face, and he was smirking.

He laughed his dumb evil laugh that is so annoying yet so…NO Suze, stop it! He then said, "You can't call him. I blocked of the Spirit Realm from your precious cowboy. There is no one to save you Suzie."

I finally found my voice and screamed with all my might, "JEEEESSE! HELP ME! PLEASE I NEEEEED YOUR HELP! JEEEEESEEE!"

Paul threw is hand over my mouth and hissed, "Would you freaking shut it?"

I bit down really hard on his hand, and he didn't seem to like that. In fact I don't think he did one bit because before I knew it he removed his hand and grabbed my wrist. He had me in his iron grip, and no matter how much I tried, I could not get out of it. I was trying to decide if I wanted to kick him in the groin or in the stomach. I didn't get a chance to do either because Paul forced me down on to the bench in Fr. D's office. He still had his arms around me and I just could not move!

I opened my mouth again to yell for Jesse. Why wasn't he coming? He always comes when I call. Paul stopped me by placing his hand over my mouth again and said, "Lover Boy isn't going to be showing up. He can't reach you by the spirit realm right now, and by the time he reaches here by foot," He stopped and laughed. "You will have forgotten all about him!"

He then started to lean down closer to me and grabbed my shoulders roughly. He pulled me to him, and kissed me. Not a little kiss but full force major kisses! It was hard to keep my cool, and not fall into these kisses, but I thought of Jesse. I can't do this to him; I can't go making out with Paul AGAIN! I pulled back as hard as I could and screamed, "NOOOOO! JEEEESE HEEEELP MEE! NOOO STOP!"

-JESSE-

I left Father Dominic, David, and Jake to look for Susannah. I decided to look for her by myself. I knew Padre wanted us all to stay together to search for her, but what could Paul do to me? Its not like he could kill me. Yes, he could exorcise me, but if Susannah were killed there would be no reason to stay here on Earth. I was walking down the long hallway popping into each room, and just like the last, it would be empty. Where could she be? Why hasn't she called Father Dominic or I? She now knows about her calling ability.

Just as I was thinking this, I heard in my mind, "JEEEEEESEE!" It was Susannah and she was yelling so loud that it hurt. She sounded…scared? She isn't scared of anything…Except SLATER! I am going to kill him. I could feel my blood (yes ghosts have blood it just is different than when we are alive) begin to boil and my scar flashing. I was beyond angry; I was…murderous.

"¡Juro al Señor Almighy, que mataré a Paul Slater! No preocupe estimado, yo no permitiré que él lo lastimará más. Yo lo amo." I said to no one in particular, but mostly to myself. I needed to know that I could say it out loud. I wasted no more time and tried to materialize to wherever Susannah was. I disappeared for a second then reappeared in the same hallway. No! This can't be happening! He still has the Spirit Realm blocked off from me! How am I supposed to find my Querida? She could be anywhere by now, yet I hope she is still in this building.

I started to half run down the hallway try to decide where to look next when I heard Sussanah's voice ringing through my head and booming through the halls screaming, "JEEEESSE! HELP ME! PLEASE I NEEEEED YOUR HELP! JEEEEESEEE!" I felt so helpless, and I just ran in the direction of her screams. I hurried past her homeroom and then many lockers. I heard footsteps behind me and saw David, Padre, and Jake. David looked very pale, and everyone else looked scared. I felt ready for revenge.

"You three heard it also?" I asked them hurriedly.

"Yes, of course how could we not hear it?" said David.

"She must be near…" Father Dominic said hopefully.

"Maybe, but you have never heard Susannah scream…No matter where you are it is loud." David said.

"Yeah especially when it comes to Paul," Jake then said. This probably didn't help the situation. David frowned at him and smacked him. He looked at him and said, "Dude! What was that for? You are so de…Oh! Yeah, sorry about that. I'm sure she is fine…"

I said, "I am going to look for her. The screams came from this direction. I headed in the direction of Father Dominic's office. I began to run towards it and looked back to see them following me. I got closer to his office and hear louder than ever, "NOOOOO! JEEEESE HEEEELP MEE! NOOO STOP!"

I stopped dead in my tracks when I heard her. For one it was because it hurt my head since she was screaming in my mind plus the sounds of her screams. Also because she was screaming "NO" which meant someone or something (namely Paul) was doing something to my sweet Susannah. Two thoughts popped into my head. One was Paul hurting her, which made me want to kill him, and the other was Paul seducing Susannah, which made me want to rip his heart out of his chest with my bare hands.

I began to run even faster to where I knew her screams were coming from. I was shaking with rage and all the doors and windows were shaking too. I yelled and opened the office door with my mind and…..
