Wendy wrapped the elderly woman's arm and her professor nodded approvingly. She had graduated from Yale months ago and had just started medical school. She went back to her seat and the next student got up.
As she sat in the back, Ashley and Ashlyn appeared next to her.
"Ugh god you're still on this medical kick? Why don't you try and be a model?" Ashley suggested with a disgusted look at the next patient; a man who's arm had to be stitched.
"Or an actress? This way you don't get blood all over yourself everyday or nasty skin diseases." Ashlyn added.
Wendy smirked but kept her eyes on the front of the class. Instead she decided to talk to them telepathically. This way she didn't look like a freak who was talking to herself.
Because I like medicine. It's fun for me. Besides, being a model or an actress really isn't my forte.
Ashley and Ashlyn crossed their legs and scoffed.
Wendy resisted a laugh. Ever since she had released them and everyone else who had been in a Death-related accident, they had all began appearing to her as spirits. Adie saw them too though, not as much because her telepathic powers weren't as strong as Wendy's. The problem was that no one else could see them so if she talked to them aloud it would seem as if she was talking to herself. But eventually she had gotten the hang of talking telepathically thanks to some help from Bludworth.
The bell rang and announced the end of the class.
"Well see you later Wen." Ashley and Ashlyn said simultaneously before they disappeared in the blink of an eye.
Wendy picked up her things and checked her wrist-watch.
It was 3:40. Kevin wouldn't be coming home from the police station until 5:00 so she had to go home and take care of their baby, Jason until he got home.
She began contemplating what crappy excuse of food she would make today as she opened her car. A hand tapped her shoulder and she spun around frantically. When she saw that it was Ian McKinley she let out a sigh of relief. Even though she had cheated Death and had nothing to worry about, she was still a control freak.
She turned back to her car and mumbled, "What do you want, McKinley?"
She could tell that he was probably rolling his eyes right about now.
"It's not like I want to be here, Wendy."
She reluctantly turned to look at him. "I thought you guys came here on your own free will." She countered.
He looked away embarrassedly. "Erin was supposed to come. But apparently she thought it was better for me to come because we have some unresolved issues." He admitted.
Wendy agreed with Erin in a way. Out of all the spirits that had visited her, Ian's was always the most reluctant. She knew it had something to do with the fact that he hated her intensely since that day at the hardware store. But you would've thought that he would've gotten over that by now. But you've never met Ian McKinley.
"What do you mean she was 'supposed' to come? Do you have something tell me?"
Ian opened his mouth to answer but Wendy noticed that she was being watched by a few students. "Get in the car." She muttered.
Without looking at him again, she slipped into the front seat of her car and started it up.
Sure enough, Ian appeared in the passenger's seat next to her.
Wendy hit the accelerator and drove away. "You were saying?" she urged him.
"There's something that we all have to tell you. You know that you released us from Death's grip and that it's all over now right?" he clarified.
Wendy nodded and made a turn on the following street.
"Well that's what we thought," he continued. "But recently we've all been getting this…feeling. A uh -Deathly feeling if you get what I mean."
Wendy shot Ian a questioning look.
He sighed. "Look I can't tell you everything. Something is stopping me from doing so. All I can tell you is that it's not over. It's not over for you or the other survivors."
Wendy's heart stopped. This was her biggest fear. "W-what do you mean?" she stammered.
Ian gave her a pained look. "I'm sorry but I can't tell you."
Wendy took her eyes off the road and stared at Ian. "Why not?"
"I already told you that something is stopping me."
"What is?"
"I can't tell you that either."
"Then what the hell can you tell me, Ian?"
"Nothing much. I'm sorry."
Wendy could sense that he was about to leave.
Then he spontaneously stopped.
"Be careful." He warned her. Then he vanished.
Wendy's heart was still racing in fear. She turned her attention to the road with a shiver. Suddenly, she lost control of the wheel as it began to move by itself! Wendy gripped the wheel tightly and tried to steer the wheel but it wouldn't shift.
"Damn it!" she cried out in frustration.
Knowing what was going to happen next, Wendy let go of the steering wheel and moved to her car door in an attempt to jump out of the doomed car. The door was locked. Wendy tried it again and again but like the wheel it wouldn't budge. She looked at the road and saw that she was nearing a pick-up truck. Wendy screamed as her car collided with the massive truck.
Author's Note: There's the first chapter for you and what do you know it ends with a cliffhanger! I know it was short but the other chapters that follow will be longer I promise!
