Ok, so I haven't updated much for 2 reason.. a) I was out of town Friday-Today… b) the site was down or something and wouldn't let me upload any documents on Thursday or Friday before.
Good news, while I was out of town I was hanging out with my sister and we watched like 60 hours of Charmed… and I had some major inspiration for this story… So much inspiration I don't know that I am not going to make this a Trilogy… But we will see.
Chapter 14: The Ghost
It was dark. So we were out, and I had no clue what I was going to do. Everything we had talked about, every plan we had made just escaped my mind.
Then I saw her.
We had been searching for about an hour when we saw her. She was staying out of people's way so they wouldn't bump into her and learn that even though she looked solid she was actually not.
Ghost or not, my mother was still as beautiful as I could have ever imagined. And I know most girls think that their mom's are the most beautiful woman ever. But as I looked at her, the fact that I was going to have to get rid of her struck my heart like a flash of lightening.
But I knew what I had to do.
"There she is." I whispered to Dean. He turned and looked. At that same moment, she spotted us. She started to walk over to us, and we walked away.
The plan was that Dean was going to lead her to this deserted area. But in order for her to realize who Dean was, I had to be with him when she saw us. Then we would run. Dean would keep running and I would lose them in a mob of people. This mob included Sam, Gabi, and John. Then, we would chase her and ultimately get rid of her.
This plan was about to back fire.
Dean and I were running and there was no one else around except my mother's ghost. But my mother's ghost could apparently sing. And she started singing the song.
She sounded just like a remembered, and her voice was luring me to her. Dean noticed that I had stopped and grabbed my arms tightly.
"Annie, come on." But I could barely hear him, and she was getting closer.
I wanted to fight it, but the song started to consume me.
"Tell me now can you feel it,
I've been keeping company with ghosts
She comes to me, like a piece of summer.
She comes to me on the days when I needed it most…"
I was completely frozen, except for my shaking.
"Annie, snap out of it! You are stronger then this!" Dean yelled. I couldn't breath and she was close. I looked up into his eyes. They were firm and serious, but also had sadness in them. I blinked and shook my head.
"But I'm not…" I whispered. Her voice was getting closer. I clamped my eyes shut. As she got closer, her voice changed from beautiful and melodic to harsh, sharp and screaming. I brought my hands to my ears.
"She is going to take me…" I whispered. I fell to the ground. It was to loud. Dean must have been so confused.
"Annie what are you hearing?" He said.
"The screaming… the song… she is screaming it. Make it stop." I said shaking.
I had no control anymore. My body was crumbling beneath me, and my mind was consumed with her voice. Dean didn't let go. Instead, he picked me up, and started running with me in his arms. I think I may have been crying, I don't really know.
"Why won't it stop?" I whispered.
"Shh… just try and relax baby it will be ok." Dean tried to sooth me. But it didn't work.
The next thing I knew, I was thrown to the ground, and I heard Dean yell for me before I entered into complete darkness.
----
"Annie? Sweetie can you hear me?" Gabi said. I slowly opened my eyes. But I wasn't dead. I was in the motel room. I quickly jolted up.
The memories of the night before came flooding back to me.
"Dean…" I whispered. He was no where. I immediately went to panic mode. "Where is Dean?"
I practically yelled. Sam looked at me.
"She got him, now we just have to find where she took him." He said. I inhaled sharply, got out of the bed and grabbed my bag.
"Where are you going?" John said.
"It is my fault that they have him. So I have to fix it." I told him as I reached for the door.
"Annie it isn't your fault. Plus, we just found out some new information that you may need to know before you go on any great expeditions." Sam said.
I was angry. They all needed to shut up and let me go.
"The man I love is out there and for all I know he could be dead and it is my fault! And I swear to God I am going to kill that bitch… well both of them." I said… well yelled.
John came over to me and grabbed me by the shoulders.
"Annie I understand. But it is too dangerous for you to go alone. Last time her voice got in your head you collapsed and the pressure was too much. Next time the consequences could be much worse and we can't have you die on us." He said firmly. My anger turned straight into pain.
I swallowed it though and looked straight ahead.
"What do I need to know?" I asked. John let go of me and I sat down in a chair next to the door.
"Well, this Enchantress wasn't just after you." Sam said.
"What do you mean wasn't?" I asked.
"Well she is kind of a power hog. She has killed every other Enchantress in the world already, except you. And she is some how consuming their powers to have ultimate power." He told me.
"So what happens if she achieves ultimate power?" I asked.
"Well, she won't be an Enchantress anymore… but she needs all of the elements." He said.
"What will she be?" I asked. I felt like a first grader who was mentally ill, I hated asking questions instead of knowing them.
"She will become a witch. And a person as evil as her with that power is very dangerous." He told me. I brought my head to my hands.
"So she had the power of dance, knowledge, and power?" I said in frustration.
"Yes and if she kills you she will have all four elements and become a witch. So we have to kill her." Sam said.
"But what happens when we kill her… what happens to all those elements? I mean they can't go back to who ever they came from." I was so confused.
Sam hesitated.
"Sam tell me now." I demanded.
"Well, that is why you have to kill her and not one of us. You are the only one who stands a chance at being able to survive the surge of power that will happen because some of it is already in you." John said.
Ok so I had asked Sam, but as long as I got an answer I was happy.
"So I am going to be a witch? Hah, and to think that three months ago I thought I had lost my power completely." I said sarcastically.
"It is the only way." Gabi said. I closed my eyes.
"Then let's go." I said sternly.
Any emotion I had was gone. My humanity was at steak, and so was the love of my life. And I couldn't lose him.
