"A Choice and a Frightening Call"

Jack stood there in shock.Jack thought "Did she just ask me to marry her?!Is she nuts?I'm beginning to think Aliana needs to be the one locked up in that mental institution instead if Kacela".Jack began turning red and sweaty.He didn't know what to say.

"Ummm,Aliana...babe,I think-I think we should-" Aliana interupted him.

"-Get married?!" Aliana jumped up.

"...umm,no.I think we should wait just a little while" Jack took her hand.

"...what-what do you mean?"Aliana faceial exspression quckly changed.

"I mean,we should wait.We're young,your 23,don't you want to sort out your life before you get married?"

"No,Jack...I wanna get married,now" Aliana looked like she was in need.

"But,babe,we need to find out our place in this life.We've been fighting too much and I wanna see what else is out there in the world" Jack said in a soft,soothing,deep voice.He sat Aliana down.

"So,you don't wanna marry me?" Aliana's eyes began tearing.

"It's not that,it's just...I feel like I'm not whole,inside" Aliana began crying,"Babe...don't-don't cry,please don't cry" Jack held her close.He put her on his lap and held her.After a while,Aliana stopped crying and she fell alseep in Jack's arms.He fixed her comfortably on the bed.Jack had to change his shirt because her tears wetted up his t-shirt.He headed downstairs and saw Bobby talking on the phone.

"Oh,that's great,Kac.Okay,Jackie's right here I'll give him the phone.Okay,bye sweetheart" Bobby and Kacela became really close during the years when they were in high school.Actually,Jackie met Kacela through Bobby.Strange to see a bad boy like Bobby being friends with a goody-goody like Kacela,right?But their really cool.Jack took the phone and quickly put it to his ears.

"Hi Kac" Jack was excited.He wanted to yell and jump around like an idiot,but he remained calm,cool,and collective.

"Hey,Jack.Guess what I found out?" Jack could tell she was smiling on the other end.

"What?" Jack smirked and walked out the livingroom.

"I found out I can hang out somewhere other than staying in the house"

"Really,than I want to have a dinner,friend to friend,date with you" Kacela sort of got turned off when Jack said "friend to friend".She just wanted him to say dinner date,that's all.

"Okay,where will we go friend?" Kacela was being sort of sarcastic,but Jack didin't noticed.

"Ummm,how about we go to the movies on friday?There's a new good movie showing" Jack was excited but he didn't show it.

"Okay,what movie will we see?"

"Ummm,how about 'Saw 3'?Have you ever seen 'Saw'?" Jack asked curiously.

"Ofcourse I did.I know,how could they let someone like me see such a violent movie like that?"

"Really,you liked it?"

"Yup.I love mystery and horror movies.So,what time will you pick me up?"

"Let's say about 7:30 or 8:00 PM?That sounds good?"

"...sounds...sounds good" Kacela drifted away from the conversation.

"Kac,are you okay.It sounds like your a little distracted"

"Yeah,actually I am painting my ceiling in the bathroom.More stars and more angels"

"Really,you paint your walls on your free time?" Jack sounded surprised.

"Yup.I'm almost done with this last angel in the corner of the ceiling.I heading out to my small livingroom,then my bedroom,and then paper...hey Jack,I've got an important question for you"

"Spill it" Jack went out on the porch and sat down on the chair in the corner.

"I wanna know what happened during the time I was gone,which was about 6 or 7 years.Fill me in" Kacela continued painting.

"Well...that's a really deep question,Kac.Ma...ma died" Jack sighed.

"What?!SHE DIED!!!" Kacela yelled over the phone.She dropped her paint brush.

"Shit!I dropped it,damn it!" Kacela got off her stool and picked it up,"Are you serious?"

"Yeah I'm serious.She died two years ago" Jack felt tears coming but tried his best to hold it.

"Oh my God,Jack...I'm sorry.Know what,lemme not say that" She stopped painting.

"What?" Jack said in a dull way.

"I should say that Evie's okay,she's fine.Although she left the world in a sad way,she's in a happy place,right.She has nothing to worry about,she's safe now.Yeah...I'm gonna go with that one" Kacela continued painting.

"Wow...nobody's ever said that to me before"

"Jack...I-I know this might be a personal question but...who killed Ms.Evie?"

"...who killed her?Victor Sweet" Jack started to get angry,"If it wasn't for that bastard then ma would be here today"

"Okay...I know what I'm into now"

"Why,what happened?"

"Oh,Jack did you kill him?"

"Ummm,yeah.Don't tell the cops,Bobby found a way to pin it on another guy and that's why we're not in jail!" Jack became a little histerical.

"Okay,okay,okay.I won't tell the cops,besides,Victor raped my mom.Why would I want to put the guys that helped me get my revenge on Sweet in jail?Now that's a dumb move.Anywho,Jack you might think I'm a real nut when I tell you this but...I saw Victor" Jack couldn't believe it.

"What?!You saw Victor Sweet?!" Jack yelled and Bobby jumped up and walked out to the porch.

"Shhhh!Don't yell!I didn't see him in the flesh...I saw his spirit.He came after me" Bobby stood there with an angry face and ready to say something,instead he kept quiet and waited for Jack to finish on the phone so he could ask questions.

"What do you mean?"

"Since he's dead,he's an evil spirit.Victor was a murderer,that you knew already.Was Bobby,Angel,and Jerry in on it,too?"

"Yeah..."

"Great.Just spectacular,now I've go to deal with a quartet of hell.Victor's after me because he knows I'm the only link that can get his messenge out,whateva his messenge is"

"This-this is bizarre" Jack looked very worried.

"Bizarre?You haven't seen nothin' yet!Sooner or later you'll believe in the supernatural,since you're a sceptic"

"So,you mean to tell me,Victor's an angry spirit and he's going to come after us for killing him.And your a link to get his messege out?" Bobby had a shock but angry look on his face.This was too much for Bobby to take in.

"Yeah..."

"Okay,now I'm in the twilight zone" Jack rubbed his face,"First off,how do you know that Victor's after us" Kacela got off the stool and looked at the mirror.Something had written something on the mirror in blood.It wasn't there before.

"...well...He tried to kill me when I was in the tub and...now,he wrote "RIP Mercers" on my mirror...in blood" Jack looked like he was being disturbed by what she was telling him.

"Are you joking with me?!" Jack yelled.

"Now Jack,why the hell would I lie to you about this?I'm not that desperate!"

"Okay,do you have a camara?"

"Yup" Kacela ran out the bathroom and grabbed the camara off her desk.

"Okay Kac,take a picture of it" Kacela took a picture of it.

"Got it"

"Okay,when we meet on friday give me the pic and we'll talk about it"

"Okay,bye Jack"

"Bye,I love you,I mean...bye" Kacela smirked and hung up the phone.Jack didin't know why he slipped out on that one but he felt wierd and worried.Bobby stood there with his arms crossed and face all angry looking.

"Jack,what she said about Victor?" Jack got up and tried to walk pass Bobby.

"I'll tell you later" Jack said in a rushy way.

"Would you tell me?!" Bobby pushed Jack back.

"Alright you wanna know?!"Jack got irritated.

"Yeah I wanna know!" Bobby said in an angry way.

"Victor Sweet's coming after us,not physically but spiritually.So go figure" Jack walked pass Bobby as he stood there in shocked and confused.
