Chapter 3: 6.01 "Anniversary Presence"

Melinda sat in the lounge chair on the porch with her laptop on her lap searching for the history on the cabin they were staying at. Melinda reached over on the table and picked up her coffee mug and took a sip of the hot java. "This stuff is really interesting" Melinda said as she heard Jim come out side.

"What is" Jim bent down and kissed his wife on the lips then sat in the other lounge chair and rubbed his eyes.

"The history of this place. Turns out a woman actually died in this house. She was locked in a cellar downstairs for days without no food and water" Melinda's eyes stayed focused on her laptop.

"Great" Jim chuckled "Why is it every place we go to is haunted" he said sarcastically.

Melinda chuckled "I know. That's the price you pay being married to a women who can talk to ghosts".

"It's been an amazing but wild 10 years" Jim said.

Melinda looked at him "Do you really mean that" she asked, slightly smiling, she bit down on her lower lip to keep herself from blushing.

Jim looked at his wife "I really couldn't have asked for anything better".

Melinda's heart melted hearing her husband talk like that. A tear formed in her eye. She quickly wiped it away "You always know just what to say" she chuckled.

Jim smiled. He reached over and kissed her "The next 10 years better be just as good" Jim said.

"Better be" Melinda agreed kissing him back.

The couple began to slowly kiss passionately. After a while, Melinda could suddenly feel something burning in her lap. She quickly picked up her laptop "OW Ow ow" she dropped her laptop on the ground feeling it burning on her hand. Melinda quickly got out of her seat and stood up.

"What's wr..." Jim started to ask but paused when her laptop started going into flames.

"Oh my god" Melinda looked around looking for a ghost.

Jim quickly ran in the house grabbing the fire extingusher and sprayed the small fire out.

"Alright show yourself" Melinda said loudly "That was a brand new Apple Laptop" Melinda groaned in frustration.

"Mel, don't worry about it. You have your files backed up right" Jim asked.

Melinda nodded "Yeah" she said.

Jim hugged her "You didn't get hurt did you" he voice was now filled with concern.

Melinda nodded "No" she hugged her husband. They both stayed in the embrace for a while. "We have neighbors" Melinda said when she seen an elderly lady around her 80's outside. The couple pulled out of the embrace and looked at the neighbor who was walking around watering her garden. "I'm gonna go talk to her and ask her some things" Melinda said.

Jim nodded "Ok be careful" he said.

Melinda took the scrunchie off her wrist as she walked over to the neighbor's house and put her long brunette locks in a ponytail. She glanced around the porch as she walked up the three steps to the porch, flowers were hanging everywhere on the porch.

"Can I help you" Melinda heard a woman ask.

Melinda turned around seeing an elderly woman sitting in a wooden rocking chair, sippping what appeared to be lemonade in a glass. "Hi. I'm Melinda" she chuckled softly, feeling a bit awkward. "My husband Jim and I are renting the cabin next door for the weekend. I heard you around here yearly, I was wondering if I could ask you a question about the cabin we are renting" Melinda tried not to sound weird.

"Oh please sit down dear" the elderly woman pointed to the rocking chair on the other side of the table she was sitting.

"Thank you" Melinda slightly nodded before walking to her chair and sitting down.

"Can I offer you a glass of lemonade" the woman asked.

"No. Thank you though" Melinda slightly smiled.

"Ok" the woman nodded. "I'm Ruth by the way" the old woman smiled. "So what can I help you with" Ruth asked.

Melinda took a deep breath "What were the previous owners like" she asked.

Ruth sipped at her lemonade before setting her glass down at the table "The last time this place was owned, rented was in" she paused trying to think of the year "2009" Ruth added.

Melinda nodded.

"Jaime and Kevin" Ruth sighed "They were such a lovely couple, they rented the cabin for two weeks to celebrate 5 years of marriage, when I met them they were so in love but not even after a few days being here, everything between them just went bad, I could hear them arguing constantly then after a while you never see Jaime, only Kevin" she told Melinda.

"Are saying that..." Melinda paused, she was shocked hearing all this "Kevin killed his own wife" she asked.

Ruth exhaled deeply "Nobody knows" she shrugged. "He was never arrested, never convicted. I remember one night I heard all this commotion, sirens and when I came outside they were wheeling Jaime outside in a body bag, Kevin looked devasted" she looked.

Melinda gulped hard at the lump forming in her throat after hearing what Ruth told her. "Maybe I will have some of that lemonade now" Melinda told Ruth as her throat dried up.

"Alright dear" Ruth said as she stood "Let me just go get you a glass" the elderly woman walked into the house as Melinda sat there.

Melinda nodded, she bit down on her lip as she knew this ghost was not gonna be easy to cross over.

Jim sat on the couch inside the cabin flipping through the channels of the television mounted on the wall. He groaned as the lights started flickering with the power soon blowing out. "Electricity sucks here" he sighed as he got up, he grabbed the flashlight on the kitchen counter as he went downstairs. He slowly crept down the stairs of the dark basement, he flashed the flashlight across the room, walking over to the fuse box. He opened the small door and began flipped the switches to see which one turned back on the power.

A female ghost appeared beside Jim. She wore a white gown covered in dirty spots, her wrists with marks on them that looked like she was being restraint to something. The ghost stared directly at Jim angrily.

Jim waved the flashlight around the room looking around, he could almost feel that he wasn't alone "Mel" he called out scanning the basement but didn't see anything. Jim went back to flipping the switches, finally figuring out which one the power was on as the lights in the basement came out. After not even a few seconds the lights blew out again. Jim groaned as he flipped the switch on the fuse boc, he suddenly felt his body freeze up as he felt a hot, tingling sensation go through his body as sparks flew out from the fuse box. Jim's body fell to the ground shaking from the shake.

The female ghost stood above Jim watching him shake and shortly after pass out from the shock with a smirk displayed across her face.
