Tala placed a moisten cloth on Kai's forehead and checked his pulse as he thought back to moments earlier. He was recording what the rest of the All stars had experienced in this house, each one of them describing with exact detail, when Michael came bursting into the kitchen, shaking, saying that Kai had collapsed. Immediately after that Rick followed with a limp Kai in his arms.
They had all gathered into the lounge room where Kai was gently deposited on the large sofa, his face contorted as if in pain.
Everyone was startled by these turn of events, the Blitzkrieg more so. Kai is a very powerful psychic. He can speak with human spirits, animals spirits and sacred spirits, and not once had he fainted during a investigation. True, investigations in the past, where small, hardly worth the effort, but Kai has been dealing with spirits his whole life.
All this little events tells him that they were dealing with something that was considered dead but was not human, not animal and not beast. So, what the hell are they dealing with?
"Hmm?" Murmured the young man on the sofa.
"Kai?" Tala said, placing his hands on the thin shoulders, prompting Kai to look at him.
Kai furrowed his brows as he gave a half moan, half painful mew. Slowly he blinked his eyes open and gazed dazedly up at the red hair Russian. "Tala?"
Tala helped Kai to sit up, slipping his arm behind his shoulders. "What did you see?"
"Three spirits. Anna. George. Mitchell. Sadness, longing, fear. They can't leave, it won't let them," Kai was trying to connect the dots, but was finding it difficult for his head was throbbing from fainting so suddenly. "Michael, Rick, are they all right?" he asked.
"We're fine," Michael said, kneeling on the floor next to the sofa. "But what about you, how do you feel?"
"I'll be fine. All I have is a headache, I'm sorry if I startled you," Kai said, trying to reassure those around him that he was fine.
However, the Blitzkrieg boys weren't convinced, but opted to stay quiet, deciding it would be best not to alarm any of the frighten Americans.
"Did I miss anything?" Kai asked, finally able to sit up without support.
"We were discussing what we should do," Spencer said. "We've decided that me and Bryan are staying here for the night to see if we can catch anything on camera or if we're able to communicate through such tools like table tipping or vocal requests."
"While they're doing that you, me and Ian are heading back to the motel and do some research. You gave three names, so, hopefully, we'll be able to find some sort of connection between them and the house," Tala said.
"Shouldn't I stay here?" Kai asked.
"And have you faint again?" Tala scowled. "I don't think so. You're going to the motel and get some rest, we'll come back first thing in the morning, when you're feeling better."
"But…" Kai started to protest, but felt a hand on his arm.
"We'll be ok," Michael said. "We don't want anything bad to happen to you."
Kai looked at Michael then let his eyes flitter over the claw marks on his cheek. He frowned. Both Tala and Michael was right. He needed rest if he wanted to help protect everyone in this house against the malice force that was so intent on causing harm.
"All right, I'll go back to the hotel," he sighed in surrender. "But, I'll be back first thing in the morning."
Instantly, Michael and the others looked slightly relieved and nodded. Grabbing his bag Kai was herded into the van after Spencer and Bryan got out the electronic equipment they're going to need for the night. They pulled out all the new equipment, asking which room should they investigate first. They decided that Michael's former room was their best bet since Kai was overwhelmed in that room, the others agreeing, saying that, that's where most of the phenomena was based.
Kai sat in the passenger seat as Tala climbed in the front behind the wheel and Ian jumped in the back. He wound down the window as Max looked at him frightened.
"Everything will be ok," Kai assured him as he gently patted him on the head. "We're close to sorting this all out for you, so be patient and stay strong, it'll all be over soon."
Max nodded and Kai motioned Michael to come over.
"I want you to be especially careful. You seemed to possess more spiritual energy then the others, so you are more acceptable to malice energies," he said, letting his fingers flitter over the claw marks on Michael's cheek. "Trust your instincts and use the camera that Bryan has given you whenever you feel something is wrong, take pictures at random if you must. Hopefully you'll catch something and I'll identify it."
Michael nodded and gave a small shaky smile. "I will."
Kai nodded in reply and glanced over Michael's shoulder. "You take good care of him, Rick."
Rick said nothing but gave a sharp nod.
"We'll be back in the morning ASAP," Tala said as he started the engine and pulled out of the driveway.
… … … … …
After setting up their equipment, lock-off night vision cameras, motion sensors, tape recordings, sensitive microphones and heat sensors, Spencer and Bryan made base in Michael's old room. The all stars are all down stairs, with digital cameras and night vision cameras.
A soft knock at the door was heard followed by; "It's me, me and Rick wondered if we could sit in on this?"
Bryan walked over to the door and opened it. "You sure you want to?"
"I don't think it'll be as bad as what we've already went through," Rick said, walking inside with Michael glued to his side, closing the door softly behind them.
"With my presence here, I might provoke a reaction out of whoever is doing this," Michael said, wrapping his arms around himself as he settled on the floor, between Spencer and Rick. Although, much larger than he, he feels safe between the two larger built bladers.
"What do you want to do first?" Bryan asked. "Table tipping or vocal response?"
Suddenly there was a loud thud from above them.
Bryan snorted. "Well, that answered my question."
Bryan and Spencer scrambled to get microphones out, handing Rick and Michael night vision cameras in case they get frighten while they're sitting in the dark. Spencer opened a laptop, getting ready to record anymore sounds that they might evoke tonight.
"How are we going to do this?" Rick asked in a whisper, moving his camera around.
"It's quite simple," Spencer said. "All we have to do is ask is there any body here. It might sound stupid to some, but that's you're best bet."
"Want me to go first?" Bryan asked and Spencer nodded. "Is there anyone in the room with us? If you can hear my voice make a noise so that we know that you're here."
Silenced followed then a soft bump was heard in the corner of the room. Immediately, they all turned their attention to that corner.
"Do you wish to communicate with us? If yes, could make that noise again?" Bryan continued.
There was silence again for a few seconds, then another soft bump was heard.
"That doesn't sound anything like the bumps we heard before," Michael whispered to Rick, who nodded in reply.
"What were those names Kai said earlier?" Bryan whispered. "George, Anna and…?"
"Mitchell," Michael whispered in reply. A moment later there was another soft bump.
"Your name is Mitchell?" Another thud so Bryan continued. "Listen Mitchell, we want to help you, but for that you need to help us. I'm going to ask some questions and I want you to try your hardest and make a noise, one for yes, two for no. Do you understand?"
Thud.
"Are you trapped here, Mitchell?"
Thud.
"Are you alone?"
Thud. Thud.
Spencer tapped a few keys on the laptop as Bryan continued to ask questions. All but Bryan remained quiet, carefully looking around with their night vision cameras, trying to catch anything as visual proof that someone was in the room with them.
Michael trained his camera to the bedroom doorway, doing so he caught a subtle shadow movement and sudden flash. Although startled, Michael managed to keep his camera in that one spot.
"Spencer," he whispered. "I think I caught something."
Spencer glanced up from his laptop. "What?"
"I'm not sure, it looked like an orb of light or something."
"Mitchell, can you see a light?" Bryan continued, oblivious about the conversation between Spencer and Michael.
Thud.
"Can you move towards the light?"
Thud. Thud.
"Is there something stopping you?"
Silence.
Everyone held there breathes, suddenly the temperature in the room fell dramatically. Spencer pulled out the temperature gauge, noting that the room temperature had dropped several degrees.
"Keep going, Bryan," Spencer whispered.
"Mitchell? Are you still with us, Mitchell?"
Suddenly, the thick blankets on the unused bed were violently ripped off and thrown across the floor, directly at them. Bryan, who was kneeling, not sitting on the floor, jumped up and grabbed the blankets before they could land on any of the electronic equipment. Startled, Michael grabbed onto Rick, who managed to keep his camera forward, recording the scene unfolding before all of them.
GET OUT
… … … … …
Another cliff hanger (Sticks tongue out) Like it?
Michael: (Pegs a baseball) What kind of question is that?
Owie, that hurt! (Huffs) That's it, now I'm going to make you really suffer.
Michael: O.O
