Ok, so I forgot to tell you that this was my first fanfic ever. Be nice, please. I wrote that last chapter in a hurry because I couldn't wait until things started to happen.

The next morning I found my room completely empty. Jesse probably left early. Wait. Did he even sleep in here? I looked at the window seat and saw a blanket. I smiled. He did.
I finally got out of bed and took a shower. Good thing I did too because my hair was a mess. I got dressed in jean and my faded black t-shirt. It still fit. I blow dried my hair and left it down. Perfect. Everything seemed to be going right this morning.
When I went downstairs, I was nearly bulldozed over with questions about my vacation. It was the usual, "Did you have a great trip?" "What did you do?" "I like your tan, Suze." "Buy me anything?"
That last question came from Brad.
"Why would I want to buy you anything?" I asked, crossing my arms.
"Now, Suze, be nice to your brother." I heard my mom say.
I rolled my eyes, "Whatever."
I answered all there questions and learned that Jesse had to go to school today. I also learned that Father Dom called and wanted me to come down to the mission. Andy wanted the entire family to go out for awhile. I volunteered to go to Father D.
I drove my car to the mission and saw Father D standing in the parking lot, staring in the opposite direction of me. I parked the car a little ways away from him and slammed the door shut.
Father Dom looked in my direction, startled. "Dear heavens, Susannah. Can't you be any quieter?"
"Sorry Father D." I wrapped my arms around him and gave him a soft hug. He was stiff at first, but then he relaxed.
"So, how was your trip?"
I told him all about my vacation in Florida. He was also one of the people who told me I should have a mediator free vacation. He was a little surprised when I told him that I saw no ghosts. But he got over that quickly enough.
After I finished telling him I asked, "Why are you standing in the parking lot?"
"Oh," He looked at me. "We have a new case. A young girl who died in a plain crash. Kara Huston, I believe her name was. She said that she needed to meet you. She said it was urgent. So I told her to meet me here when you arrived. She should be here in a few minutes." His eyes wandered the parking lot. "Ahh, here she is."
I glanced in Father D's direction and saw a girl who couldn't have been any older than 8. She had long copper colored hair and was pretty small for her age. Her eyes were an amber color that reflected some light. She smiled, showing me a view of he pearly whites.
"Are you Susannah?" She asked. She stopped in front of me and gazed deep into my eyes.
"The one and only." I responded.
"Good, I have a message for you. You are in danger. Watch out for who you trust and watch your back. He plans it soon. He's killed before." She disappeared. Well, that was very cryptic. Couldn't she give at least some more details?
"This isn't very good Susannah." Father Dom stated the obvious. "Someone wants to kill you."
"Don't most ghosts?" I asked. It was not a big deal, really. So some ghost wants to kill me. Big whoop. I've been dealing with that for awhile now.
Father D sighed and rubbed his temples. "I don't think it's such a good idea that you do some ghost hunting for awhile."
"WHAT?" I screamed in outrage. "Father D," I said desperately. "Come on. That's not fair. I got my vacation and I'm ready to kick some ghost ass."
"Susannah, please watch you language. I know that ghosts have tried to kill you in the past, but no one else came to you and told you that some ghost wanted you dead. This is serious and should be taken seriously." His voice became firm. Even for an old guy, he still had some power left.
I crossed my arms. "You can't make me."
"Please, Susannah, at least take a break for awhile to see if anything is going to happen."
I thought about it. I guess I could spare a few days. "Fine."
"Thank heavens." He sighed.
Another car pulled into the parking lot. I recognized it as Jesse's. Father D walked over to him and they started to talk in low, hushed, tones. I saw Jesse's face change from worried to protective and worried. He glanced at me and knew I wasn't happy with the arrangements.
While they talked, I started to get the same feeling that I got yesterday. The hair on the back of my neck started to prickle. I swung around and looked behind me. Nothing. A cloud blocked out the sun, making it a little darker than normal. I looked at the sky and saw clouds moving in.
Damn, I thought. I hate the rain. It makes my hair all frizzy. I heard a twig snap behind the bush. I jumped and crept over to the innocent bush. No one noticed me. I reached out and then suddenly, something jumped out at me.
I screamed.
