I do not own 13 ghosts. I only own Jessica and her family.
Story start
A cold breeze blew across Jessica's face and she slowly awakened from her slumber. "What?" Jessica thought confused as her eyes adjusted to the dark forest around her. Jessica stood up quickly and looked around her. Trees surrounded her, but Jessica thought she saw a road through one of the cracks in the trees. Jessica was confused but knew better than to stay in a dark forest alone. She walked towards the area where she saw a road, and soon she came up to a two-lane road. "Now I need someone to come by," Jessica thought as she stared down. She was still wearing her black dress and shoes, and her jade pendant was glowing softly. "Why is it glowing?" Jessica thought as she brought the pendant to her face to look at it better.
The pendant was emitting a soft green glow, but it slowly stopped. "Strange," Jessica whispered but soon her attention was brought to yellow lights coming towards her. Jessica waved her arms to get the attention of the car, but she noticed that a large carrier truck was behind the car. The black car pulled to a stop on the road, and the window rolled down. "Hello there. What are you doing out here all alone?" a man asked as he looked out the car window at Jessica. "I seem to be lost, and I don't know where anything is. Could you take me to the nearest town or to a phone?" Jessica asked wishing that these people could help her, and that they weren't crazy psychos. "The man looked to the driver and then to the back of the car. Words were exchanged between the man and someone in the back, but Jessica couldn't make them out. "Sure hop in the back and we'll take you to a phone," the man said with a kind smile and motioned for Jessica to get in the back. "Thank you," Jessica said and she opened the back door. She was shocked when she saw Dennis Rafkin and Cyrus Kriticos sitting in the back of the car.
Jessica didn't show the shock of realization that she was in the movie, and she gave a small smile to Dennis and Cyrus as she got in the car and shut the door behind her. "Thanks again for giving me a ride," Jessica said as she looked at the two occupants in the back with her. "You are welcome my dear," Cyrus said and gave a small nod of his head. "How in the world did I end up in the 13 Ghosts movie? Wait this wasn't in the movie. Maybe I'm in the movie's world, but not in the movie itself," Jessica thought as she looked at her hands in her lap. "So what is your name my dear?" Cyrus asked drawing Jessica's attention to him. "Oh how rude of me. My name is Jessica. What are your names?" Jessica said as she looked from Cyrus to Dennis. She already knew who they were, but she couldn't tell them that or they would think she was crazy or a stalker. "No one would want to be Cyrus's stalker," Jessica thought as Dennis and Cyrus introduced themselves.
"So my dear what did you say you were doing out there all alone?" Cyrus asked Jessica curiously. "Oh I had gotten a ride from a friend, and my friend said she had to drop me off. I got bored where she dropped me off at and I started to wander around. I ended up getting lost in the woods, but thankfully your cars showed up," Jessica answered with a lie and Cyrus believed her. "That was close," Jessica thought as she looked out the window. Beside her she saw Dennis trying not to touch her. "Dennis is there something wrong?" Jessica asked turning to look at him. Dennis shook his head and scooted away from her more, but he wouldn't touch Cyrus either. "I'm fine," Dennis answered but Jessica knew better. She knew that when Dennis touched someone he would see visions of their past, and Dennis didn't like his gift. "Well if you say so. I just want to let you know that I don't bite," Jessica said and smiled at Dennis. Dennis gave her a small laugh and smiled back. "I'll remember that," he said and Cyrus was giving the two of them a strange look.
Soon the car pulled to a stop and everyone got out. The man that Jessica first talked too helped her out of the car and she thanked him. The man blushed and walked off quickly to help with something on the big carrier truck. A glass cubicle was being lowered from the back of the truck, and Jessica gasped as she saw the blood but she didn't see anything else in there. "Come my dear it's a little chilly out here," Cyrus said and grabbed Jessica's hand and gently led her inside the beautiful glass house. "Latin spells," Jessica whispered and she saw Dennis give her a shocked glance from his position beside her. "The phone is right there my dear," Cyrus said and pointed inside the library. "Thank you," Jessica said and walked inside the library. She spotted a phone on the table and picked it up. "I wonder if this will even work," Jessica thought as she dialed her grandparents' number. The phone said the number was not a real number, and Jessica tried her parents' number, but it too was not a real number. Desperately she tried her friends' numbers and work number, but she came up with no luck.
"No," Jessica thought as she slammed the phone down. She sat down in a chair at the table and rested her head on the glass. "I'm truly stuck here," Jessica thought slightly frightened. This was not a movie. Whatever happened to her here would really happen. There would be no special effects or make-up. This was the real deal and all of the ghosts downstairs would be real and murderous. Jessica had felt sorry of what all had happened to the ghosts and she still did, but she was frightened for her safety. Cyrus walked into the room and said, "Were you able to get a hold of anyone?" Jessica stood from her seat and frowned while saying, "No I wasn't able to get a hold of anyone. I'm sorry for being such a burden to you right now. I should probably just walk to the next town."
"Oh no don't do that. The next town isn't for miles and I wouldn't want you to come to any harm. You are not a burden to me or anyone else so you should just stay here until you are able to get a hold of someone. You may stay here as long as you need and if that is more than a few days than that is fine. I would appreciate to see a new face around here," Cyrus said and smiled at Jessica. Jessica gave a small fake smile and thanked Cyrus. Cyrus excused himself saying he had to do some things, but before he left he told Jessica to go upstairs and find a bedroom she liked. Jessica saw some strange glasses lying on the library table, and recognized them as the glasses that allowed the people in the movie to see the ghosts. Jessica grabbed them and hid them in her corset.
Jessica left the library and saw that everyone was outside of the house. Jessica didn't hear any noise coming from the base so she quietly snuck down the stairs. Jessica saw that some of the cubicles were missing, and she recognized that the juggernaut and the jackal were the only ones missing. She walked over to the torn prince's cubicle and looked around her to make sure that no one was down there with her. Jessica slipped the glasses out of her corset and slowly slid them on her face. As soon as the glasses were perfectly fit on her face, she looked at the torn prince's cubicle and the ghost inside swung a bat at the glass. Jessica jumped back in surprise and she heard the ghosts around laughing at her. Sparks had appeared when the bat had hit the glass, and the torn prince glared at her angrily. "That surprised me," Jessica said to the torn prince. The torn prince just held his glare, and Jessica gave a small smile.
"I wish I could get you out of here, but I don't think you would be kind to me even if I did help," Jessica said and the torn prince quit glaring. He just looked at this beautiful human girl confused. "Why would any human in their right mind want to help me or any of the other ghosts? Some of the ghosts in here have killed people and yet she wants to help them," the torn prince thought confused as he stared at Jessica. "Well my name is Jessica. What's yours?" Jessica asked trying to be friendly. The torn prince just glared again and hit the glass with his bat again, and after that he leaned against he upside down car. "Well maybe you will tell me another time, because it seems that I will here a long time," Jessica said and sighed. She slipped her glasses off and hid them in her corset again, and she walked back out of the basement. No one was around and she smiled at her luck for not getting caught.
"Time to find a bedroom I guess," Jessica thought and walked upstairs. The whole house was filled with beautiful antiques and the majority of them were gold. "They must be offerings to the devil, because this is the eye to hell," Jessica thought as she passed a room filled with gold trinkets. Jessica finally came to a bedroom that suited her fancy and she sat down on the bed to rest. The room she was in was very Victorian style, but Jessica thought it was beautiful. Some of the things in the room were way too girly for Jessica, but everything else was fine. "This is the room that Kathy comes in," Jessica thought as she gazed at the bathroom from her spot on the bed. "Jessica," a voice said from the bedroom doorway and Jessica looked and saw Dennis standing there. A nervous expression was on his face. Dennis rushed into the room and closed a glass door behind him. "You have to get out of here. I know you won't believe me, but there are killer ghosts downstairs. Please Cyrus is a lunatic and you need to leave," Dennis said with panic written on his face.
"I believe you Dennis. No one would get this worked up unless what they were saying was true. I don't really have anywhere else to go. I would leave if I could, but I'm unfortunately stuck here until I can find a way home. Now I need you to believe me. I'm not from here at all. In other words I'm from a different dimension. One moment I'm asleep at my home, and the next I wake up in that dark forest. Please don't think I'm crazy. I believe you when you say that Cyrus is a bad man, but if he's so bad then why are you staying with him?" Jessica said and Dennis looked shocked at the information he had just been told. "You really aren't from here?" Dennis asked and Jessica shook her head no. "I believe you, but I don't know how to get you home either. Dang I guess you are stuck here, and when you asked why I stay with Cyrus. I stay with him because I know this is horrible to say, but I need the money. It's hard for someone like me to get a job like normal people. I know that this will seem strange, but I can't touch anyone or I will see their past memories. It's horrible," Dennis said and he sat down on the bed beside Jessica, but not close enough to touch her.
