GH?Not my. Definetly. :D
"My grandmother told me the truth only when I again had a dream, I had non-stop for one month when I was child. Later I only understood that maybe it had some significance. And the month when I saw it too had meaning." Man looked at house and smiled gently. Then he returned his eyes to people standing in front of him.
"I hope this will help you with investigation. Madoka-san said that you need to know this information." He looked little concerned, if he maybe is taking these people time when they have something more important to do. Especially he was concerned about young man in black, who seemed very angry. That's why his surprise that he was the one who answered his question was grater that if others would have told something.
"You were told right. We would like to hear all you know about this house, because thank to that what we still don't know three people of our team are hospitalized now." Madoka looked around worried and saw who was missing.
"You what to say that Mai and Brown-san are injured too?"
Naru nodded.
"And this is how you look after those who give they lifes to you? Naru you should look after them better. Especially Mai." Madoka was lecturing Naru until she saw his glare. Somehow she shut up in instant. Naru turned his attention back at older man standing in front of him.
"Unfortunately now we can't use room where all our equipment is, so please bare with what we can offer you. Please sit down here and tell us all you know." Naru pointed at back of car, which was relative empty, because all equipment was at base. Here were only things they didn't needed there. Lin got some portable recorder he always kept at car and turned it on, so they would have some evidence. Naru had made it as rule. Normally it was so he can listen to them ad solve the mystery. Man sat down and put his hands on lap.
"Now tell us, what was your dream about?"
"Surprisingly it was always the same. It didn't depend how old I was. Always. I was playing with some woman I didn't know, but she had such a gentle smile. Every time I looked at her she was looked at me with such warm and loving eyes I always smiled back at her. She caressed my head and seemed happy just being with me. Then father came in. I ran to him and he lifted me up. And he was smiling too. I saw my fathers smile so rarely, but in dream it seemed naturally, that he was smiling. Still holding me in his arms he approached woman who was now standing and looking at as with warm, happy smile. As we approached her I spread my arm and she took me. Then father gave her kiss on forehead and hugged both of us. I was happy and I could fell that both of them were happy too. I woke up with sensation of loss. Father always was arguing with mother. They weren't able to live together, and I think I always longed for such warm. Mother never played with me nor did she smile at me. She was displeased with me all the time, and avoided me as much as she could. Father gave me all his love, so I can't say that I wasn't loved, but his eyes were always sad. In dream he was so happy but in reality it wasn't like that. So in the end I started to long for May, because that was month of my dream. When I tried to refuse to get up they called granny. As she was older she was smart woman and was able to get out of me why I wanted to sleep. That time she took my head in her lap stroke my hair and sang for me. I don't remember the song, but it was sad and beautiful. She said to me that when time will come she will definitely tell me what that dream meant. She said that I can't hold to it. I need to live my life like it is. That I need to make my parents smile. That was when I was fifteen. After that I never had that dream again. I tried to make my parents smile, and I was happy to see that mother started to accept me and father smiled more. But still they relationship got worse and worse. I couldn't do anything. Mother left father when I was 23. After that I tried to take care of him. She died with cancer when I was 43. Father died 5 years ago. On 35th May of my life I saw that dream again. I still remember that it was on 17th day of May. That morning I hurried to grandmother to tell her that. She smiled with sadness and warmth in same time and told me that now he will tell me what I was supposed to know all my life. She told me that my mother wasn't my real mom. More surprising was that after I described her woman in my dream when I was fifteen years old, she knew that all that time I had been dreaming of my real mother. She told me that maybe that was some memory of my past, but I was too young to remember that so it came out in dreams. But most important part is not my emotions what I had when granny told me that and said not to tell father about it, but part about my mother and why she died in this house, and why she has been trapped here. My father and mother, I mean real one, not the one who was living with me all those years, even if I still cal her mother, but that's not important. They wanted to marry and as she didn't have any other relatives as her older brother he was the one who gave his agreement for they marriage. He had started to build house for him and his wife. He was working in jail as guard, but still was kind and good human, or at least all thought he was. Then his wife suddenly died. And his plan of having normal family broke down. Maybe because he was unhappy and thought that if he's unhappy then his sister has to be unhappy to, he suddenly forbade my parents marriage. HE forced his sister to move in one house with him, and she obeyed because she pitied her brother who had just lost his wife. Unfortunately she was pregnant. Granny said she managed to persuade her brother to let me live and my father come to visit me. He was supposed to take me away when I was three years old. That was the deal. Granny said that she hoped that until that time his hear will get softer. But it never happened. More, it seemed that he got more and more sinister every day. Granny was the only one person my mother told all her worry. She suspected her brother for something bad. Very bad and sinister. In fact she was suspecting him of murdering people. He never let her go to basement, and didn't allow for her to go out of her room after seven o clock. Sometimes he even made her leave for some days, she used those days to meet father. When they understood that her brother will never change they started to think about eloping. But it never happened, because uncle always was step ahead of them. Intentionally or not, but he locked mother up. One night she run to granny and told her all she knew. She told her that just now she had discovered that her brother truly is killing people. She was afraid, but not for herself, but for me. So next day granny went to them and told uncle that she will take me for some time. She wanted to take mother too, but uncle didn't allowed. He was still playing on her emotions about his broken heart. She had to stay. Mother was sneaking out almost every night to see me and told granny all evidence she got hold. She hoped that if she will expose uncle he will have to let her go. But she discovered that in truth her brother wasn't just guard of jail. In reality he was someone who took out people who were considered bad for someone. Was he working under some mafia boss or on his head she didn't knew, but his work and guard helped him to choose his victims. There was time that he took them from streets. He killed them in basement with some kind of suffocating gas. Then mother overheard him talking with someone. He promised that in soon future he will kill her, and then if necessary he will take us out too. So she poisoned water of the well. She told grandmother that she knows she will have to die, but she will take him with her in grave. Granny told her to be careful. She was afraid that that man would become ghost and continue killing. They found some woman who knew how to put spells, she told mother what to do to keep him from killing. As they told her all, but didn't tell names she helped them. Granny told me that they bonded mothers spirit to house in two places so if uncle would become sinister ghost he would be trapped in his so bellowed basement. Mother knew that her brother would burry her besides the well, so that was one place they craved something in, but other was in front of basement door. He had buried some of his victims in beside the well too. She died when I was one and a half year old. For week she had been nervous, she knew that her time is near granny told me, and one day she didn't come anymore. Father knew all what was happening and had promised her that he won't do anything to her brother. He took me and went away. Uncle used it and made documents to look like she had eloped with father. He did all to hide the fact of my birth. In same time he was very sick. Poison my mother had put in the well all the time had finally taken action, so he died soon after her. Granny moved to place father was, but still was contacting woman who made spells that bound my mother. She said that something wasn't correct, and she wasn't sure that house will be safe to use, but still there was nothing they could do when house was chosen as hospital. They tried to warn them, but no one took them in mind. Only after all those deaths they invited now old woman who put that spell first. All she could do was to helping closing doors. She said that something had interfered with her spell and that ghost locked up in basement was definitely really cruel and sinister. He enjoyed killing and without mom would have killed all the hospital, but she told that only to granny. She died couple of years after that. After that we had no information about this house. Granny didn't want to remained father about it and he didn't want to be reminded. His marriage was disaster and even if he love me from all his hear he didn't wanted for me to know about it. He died thinking that I don't know. I had never looked for this house, because the one thing grandmother didn't told me was where it was. She just told that if I will need to go there I will know that it's the place. I hadn't thought that I will need this information until those two young people came to find me. I never knew that we were still living so close." He looked at house again. For all time he was talking he looked at his arms or at people surrounding him, not the house, now he was looking at it again, and so did others. Lin turned of recorder and looked at Naru, who was looking at house too with unascertainable gesture. They all were shocked and surprised, but after this man had described things Madoka and Yasuhara couldn't tell him and in the end his story made sense, so nothing left as to acknowledge he had spoke the truth. Plus truth was more crazy than lies.
"But why did technique malfunction then?" Ayako asked. All looked at her. For long time Ayako had spoke and said something useful.
"I think I could answer you question." Lin suddenly spoke. "First, there were at least two powerful spells. One of them was as powerful as two, so you could say three, and we still don't know maybe there was something on first basement door. Seconds, there still is one really bad ghost, but there were his victims too, plus one of them was powerful by itself, to be able to hold him in as much as she, even if spell would be perfect average spirit wouldn't be able to do it. So that's the reason why technique malfunctioned."
"I want both of them gone from there." Naru told.
"Please." Man spoke up, "don't hurt mother." He looked like child saying it, so woundable and sad. Naru looked at him and all he said was:
"Don't worry, we won't hurt her. We will only let her rest. We will free her for her task." He got all he needed-a nod in agreement. He looked at that what had left of team. They will need all help they could get.
"Lin, Takigawa-san, Matsuzaki-san, you will come with me, you three stay here." He looked at slightly stunnied people around him.
„What are you waiting for! Move!" No one dared no to obey.
After approximately hour or one with half they got out. Bou was supporting Ayako, last one surprisingly said nothing about him dirtying her clothes with blood, because monk palms were bleeding again. Lin was going few steps after Naru in case if he would fall older man would be able to catch him before he hits his heat more that it already had happened. They managed to get taxi for Akira-san to get him home. He shivered slightly and his hand was cold, but he didn't tell it to anyone. All this hour he had feeling that he's not alone, that someone is slightly holding his arm and just before house had shivered he felt cold breeze on his forehead. Madoka paid taxi the same amount they were supposed to give driver who was forced to bring them here. Now they needed to decide what to do first, go to hospital or pack base. In the end it took only one and half an hour for Lin, Bou Yasuhara and Madoka to put all the equipment back at car. Ayako was still shaking but Naru was looking out of window with glassy look. If Yasuhara had driven like mad man then there was no words to describe how Lin drove to nearest hospital after he saw Naru.
Ok, so this is the end of gostly part. I just knew that I need to put end of chapter here. :)
There will be one more I think more shorter part. :D there goes my hope to finish it till the New year.
