Short chapter but it explains a helluva lot of stuff so I hope you enjoy and that some of your questions are answered. Please make me a very happy person and review, flames are acceptable as well I really don't care.
House, Wilson, and Jasper quickly followed Chase and were surprised to see that the young blonde had entered what seemed to be a cafeteria. The fire had ravaged the dining hall far worse than any other part of the school they had been in.
"Robbie?" Jasper called as he came up beside his friend.
Chase seemed to be in a trance as he turned around slowly in a circle, surveying his surroundings searching for the thing he was supposed to see.
"What is it Chase?" Wilson asked before looking over at House. The older man looked slightly curious but his eyes gave away that he was worried about the Aussie.
'If we ever get out of here I'll have to remember to talk to House about his feelings for Chase,' Wilson thought before turning his attention back onto the young man.
Chase took a few steps away from the three and stopped suddenly as he felt energy shoot up into his body causing his head to snap up and his back to arch as the electric surge pulsed through his body blurring his vision and muffling his friend's cries of surprise and worry.
Chase opened his eyes and was surprised to see the cafeteria only it was how it looked in the sixties before it had been burned. Sticky green linoleum floor, grey brick walls, buzzing florescent lights, large round tables, and a serving line surrounded him. The hall was empty at the moment, not even the lunch ladies seemed to be around.
"This will do it" he heard a man say and he was surprised to see a balding man in his 50's wearing a janitors uniform slinging gasoline all over the cafeteria. "No way they'll find those pretty little things rotting in the basement now, not when there are so many barbequed brats to bury," the man said with a grin as he began to lead a trail of gasoline out of the cafeteria, down the hall to the front entrance where he poured the rest of the gasoline out onto the floor in front of him.
Chase watched as the man got out a cigarette and lit a match, he lit the end of his cigarette first and inhaled deeply, reveling in the calming smoke that filled his lungs.
He tossed the match out in front of him and grinned when it ignited the gasoline and a line of fire trailed all the way back to the cafeteria. The man turned to exit the school but the doors wouldn't budge.
"No!" the man cried. "Master unlock the doors please!"
He frantically pushed and pulled on the doors before letting out an anguished cry as his pants leg caught on fire.
"Master no let me go!" the man screamed. The flames rose higher and higher on his body until he was completely engulfed in flames and his screams soon mingled with others who were caught in the blaze.
The man slumped to the ground, finally dead and Chase shivered when he heard an inhumane cackling rise above the screams.
Chase gasped as the vision ended and he fell to his knees trembling, eyes wide with horror at what he had seen.
"Robbie wot is it, what'd ya see love?" Jasper asked and Chase looked up to see Jasper kneeling in front of him. Chase closed his eyes as Jasper reached out and brushed his hand against the blonde's cheek. He shivered at the coldness of his friend's hand but leaned into the comforting touch none the less.
"It was the janitor," Chase said.
"The janitor did all this?" House said as he looked around at the charred cafeteria.
"That's not all I think he was being controlled by a demon, but when he caught the school on fire the demon locked the doors and he was killed as well," Chase said.
"The demon has been here from the start," Jasper said and Chase nodded.
"What does that mean?" House asked.
Chase got to his feet and turned to the older doctor "It means that this isn't an ordinary haunting, this is a possession case as well."
The blonde continued as he saw that House and Wilson didn't understand. "It's one thing for a demon to set up shop after a tragedy has occurred, the more anger, hurt, and sadness in the air the easier it is for a demon to inhabit a place. But if a demon manages to locate to a relatively normal place say a high school it means the demon is extremely powerful, powerful enough to posses a person to do its will and to keep a hold over so many spirits and lesser demons at once."
"And you have to fight this fucking thing, Chase that's insane, even for me, what the hell happens if you die, I'm going to have to look for a new fellow to train," House said trying to mask his concern.
Chase smiled sadly "Trust me House if I can't kill this thing the last thing on your mind is going to be hiring a new fellow."
