I do not own 13 ghosts. I only own Jessica.
Story start
Arthur and his family were excited about a new house, but Arthur was nervous. He just couldn't understand why Cyrus would leave him anything. "This is so cool," Kathy said with a grin to her father. Arthur gave a nervous smile and agreed. Bobby and Maggie were in the back of the car enjoying the ride. Soon the car pulled to a stop behind the lawyer's car and a glass house stared down at them. "Wow," Bobby said as he gazed at the glass house. Arthur and his family exited the car and walked to the front door. The lawyer was arguing with a guy from the power company, and Arthur settled the argument.
The lawyer, Ben Moss did not look happy that the power man got to enter the house. Arthur pulled the strange gold key from his pocket and placed it in the key hole. The key sunk into the hole and wouldn't come out. "You broke it," Bobby complained and Maggie told him to hush. Gears started turning and a horrible fate awaited the family inside, but they were oblivious.
Gears started turning and Jessica looked up through the glass ceiling. Lights started coming on in the house the ghosts were all stirring. "What is going on?" Royce asked Jessica. Jessica frowned and whispered, "Cyrus's plan has begun, and the sacrificial lambs have entered the wolf's den. We have to stop this soon." Royce gave Jessica a sad look but glared at the glass when he heard someone walking downstairs. The so-called power man, also known as Dennis Rafkin, walked down the basement stairs. All of the ghosts glared at him, and Dennis twitched as he felt their aura. Images started flashing through his mind. When Dennis neared Royce's and Jessica's holder he stopped. "Jessica," he whispered and Jessica walked to the glass. "Hello Dennis, you need to stop this now," Jessica said as she put her hand on the glass.
Dennis gave a confused look and went to put his hand on the glass in front of Jessica's hand, but Royce pulled Jessica back. Royce hit the bat against the glass and yelled. Dennis backed away from the glass and held his head in pain. "Why did you do that Royce?" Jessica yelled. "He is one of the people that put all of us in here," Royce said full of rage. Jessica gave Royce a sorry look and placed a hand on his shoulder. "I know he helped put you in here, and you have every right to hate him. However, if he can get all of us out of here then is of use to us," Jessica explained and Royce calmed down slightly. Dennis shakily stood from the floor and gave Jessica an incredulous look.
Dennis couldn't understand why Jessica wasn't freaked out that she was dead, but he didn't stay down there with the ghosts any longer. He ran upstairs and into the library.
All of the ghosts looked at Jessica for some answers. "Dana you will be let out soon. Please remember to try and find the room with the machinery and stuff that I told you about earlier," Jessica explained with a pleading look to the Angry Princess. Dana nodded and steps could be heard from the basement stairs. The lawyer Ben Moss walked into the basement and made a crude comment about some of the ghosts. When he saw Jessica and Dana, he stopped and made a lust filled comment. Jessica gagged and Dana stabbed at the glass with her knife. Royce glared at Ben as he passed and swung his bat at the glass. Ben backed up and raised his hands in submission. Ben walked away from the ghosts and walked into some room. Jessica recognized that the room Ben was in was the room that controlled the house. "Dana," Jessica yelled but Dana wasn't paying attention.
Jessica sighed and went to yell for Dana's attention again, but Ben emerged back from the room and he was now holding a briefcase. Jessica glared as Ben walked smugly up to her container. "Why don't you run away with a rich man like me?" Ben asked and Jessica gagged. Royce wrapped his arm protectively around Jessica's waist and Ben glared. "Fine rot in hell," Ben said and walked down the hallway. Gears started turning again and Dana's glass door slid open. Dana smirked as she advanced toward the now cowering lawyer. "Hey I was just kidding about that earlier comment," Ben stammered as he backed away from the lethal ghost in front of him. Dana smirked and was about to bring her knife down on him, when two glass doors slid closed through Ben's sides. Ben had been split in half and Jessica turned her eyes away from the sight.
All of the ghosts cheered at the death of the cocky human, and Dana smirked. Dana heard noises upstairs and disappeared to check them out. "No wait," Jessica called but her voice was not heard by Dana. "I needed her to go into that room and stop all of this," Jessica thought sourly. Jessica sighed and looked down and she blushed when she noticed Royce's arm still around her waist. "Um Royce," Jessica whispered shyly and Royce looked down into her face. "Yes?" he questioned and then he too realized that his arm was still around Jessica. "Sorry," he murmured and slid his arm off of her waist. "It's alright," Jessica whispered with a blush. Royce smiled and a slight tinge of pink adorned his cheeks as well.
Arthur was shocked at discovering that lethal and evil ghosts were in his basement. "Kids," were his first thought and he shot up from his seat and went to look for them. He found Kathy in a beautiful bathroom upstairs, but the beauty of the room was far from his mind. Kathy and him ran into Maggie, and Bobby was nowhere in sight. "Bobby," Arthur yelled as he searched for his son. "Yelling won't help. This glass is soundproof," Dennis said behind Arthur. Arthur turned around and glared at Dennis. "I don't care we have to find him," Arthur said and continued his search. Dennis gave Arthur a nervous look, because he wanted to get out of this hell hole. "Being killed by an evil ghost is not what I'm looking forward to," Dennis thought bitterly as he followed the worried family.
In the basement other ghosts had been released. The withered lover Jean, the bound woman, and the first born son were now released from their containers. Jessica twitched nervously because she knew that young Bobby would be coming into the basement soon. Royce gave Jessica a weird and confused look when he saw her anxiety. "What's wrong?" Royce asked as he placed a hand on Jessica's shoulder. Jessica jumped in surprise and gave a deep sigh. "The family that is now in this house will be experiencing terrible things. I don't want this to happen. I wish that none of you had been captured, and I wish that you had never died such tragic deaths. I wish that I could have saved you all," Jessica said as she sunk to the ground. Silent sobs racked her frame and Royce looked down at her with a strange feeling running through him.
"No one has ever said that to me or probably any of these ghosts in here. She is truly a kind soul," Royce thought as he bent down and pulled Jessica into his arms. "Shh Jessica. I know you wish you could reverse everything, but things happen for a reason. I'm sure that everything will turn out well, and anyways if this had never happened then I would have never met you," Royce whispered into Jessica's ear. Jessica's sobs stopped and she looked up into Royce's beautiful eyes. A small blush was on her cheeks as she noticed how close their faces were. "Yeah you're right," Jessica whispered. Royce smiled genuinely and wiped away a small tear that had ran down her right cheek. Royce's hands would have been cold to anyone alive, but to Jessica they felt so warm.
A young boy's scream shook Jessica from her content state and she stood up quickly. Royce gave a questioning glance to her, but Jessica just banged on the glass. "Leave the child alone Cyrus," she yelled and hit her hand on the glass again. Jean the withered lover looked so sad that she could not help her son from being captured by that horrible man. "Cyrus you bastard," Jessica yelled in her rage. Royce wrapped his arms around her again and whispered soothing words to calm her. Jessica's breathing calmed down and she hit the glass one more time. "When I get out of here that Cyrus will pay," Jessica whispered angrily. Royce nodded in agreement to her statement of hatred.
