I do not own 13 ghosts. I only own Jessica.
Story start
Jessica and Royce sat impatiently waiting for their turn to be let out of their glass prison. Voices could be heard and Jessica recognized them to be Maggie's and Dennis's. "Oh no," Jessica whispered as she saw them walk past Royce's and her container. Royce smirked at the two humans and Jessica wrapped her arms around his waist. "Royce please if you must hurt them don't go too far," Jessica whimpered and Royce turned to look at her. "Alright," he said and kissed her forehead. Jessica blushed as Royce backed away from her. The glass door to their container slid open and Royce disappeared from the container. Jessica sighed and quickly ran out of the container.
"Where is that room at?" Jessica whispered as she walked around the basement. None of the other ghosts were down there at the moment, and for that Jessica was happy about. She needed to concentrate and if anyone else was down here she might get distracted. Jessica soon found the room and stared at the strange twirling mass of gears. "No no my dear Jessica," Cyrus's voice said behind her. Jessica quickly turned around and was face to face with a smirking Cyrus. Jessica went to punch him but he grabbed her wrist and stopped her punch. "Let go of me," she screamed and went to punch Cyrus with her other hand.
Cyrus stopped that hand as well and Jessica resorted to kicking him. "Stop struggling," Cyrus growled. "Not until you go to hell," Jessica growled and head butted Cyrus. Cyrus released Jessica as he put a hand to his head. "Bitch," Cyrus growled but Jessica had already run out of the room. Jessica didn't look back as she ran out of the basement. She saw Arthur, Dennis, Maggie, and Kalina in the library. Kathy was no longer with the family. "Damn you Cyrus," Jessica swore as she saw the bad shape Arthur was in. The Pilgrimess was clawing at the glass door, but she couldn't get in and she quickly left. Jessica sighed as she walked over to the glass. When Dennis saw her standing at the door he gasped.
Kalina glared at Jessica and grabbed one of her flares. Jessica shook her head at Kalina. "Let her in she isn't going to hurt us," Dennis yelled at Kalina. Kalina kept glaring at Jessica as Dennis moved the glass. The other people in the room quickly put on their glasses so they could see Jessica. "Wow," Maggie whispered when she saw how beautiful Jessica was. "Hello I'm here to help," Jessica said to them. Arthur looked at Jessica with pleading eyes. "How can you help us?" he asked. Jessica walked over to him and gave him a small smile. "I know how to stop all of this. There is a room in the basement that controls the house. If we can get down there then we can stop all of this. We can also rescue your children. Don't worry the ghosts do not have your children," I said to Arthur.
Arthur let out a sigh of relief. "Why should you trust her Arthur? She could be lying to you. I mean she has been down there with all of those other ghosts. She must be evil to be placed down there with them," Kalina said to try and trick Arthur. I grabbed Arthur's hands and looked into his eyes. "Please believe me Arthur. I want to help you and your family escape the fate that has fallen upon me, because I do not wish for anyone else to end up like me," Jessica said sincerely and Arthur nodded. "I believe you," Arthur said and Jessica could tell that he was putting all of his trust into her hands. Jessica smiled softly and nodded. "We need to get back to the basement," Jessica said in a commanding tone. Arthur nodded and stood up. Dennis stood up as well and Kalina tried to stop us. "Arthur has he told you yet?" Kalina asked Arthur. "Told me what?" Arthur asked suspiciously as he glanced from Kalina and Dennis. "Don't tell him. I didn't know she had a husband," Dennis said as he sat back down. "He needs to know this, but why now?" Jessica thought at Kalina's intentionally bad timing.
"Your wife is the fourth ghost," Kalina said trying to hide her smirk. This revelation ended up with Dennis getting punched and yelled at by Arthur. Jessica shook her head with a sigh. Kalina smirked at Jessica and Jessica felt a cold breeze behind her. "No," Jessica screamed as she was pulled away from the library. No one saw who pulled her away except for Kalina. "Where is Jessica?" Dennis yelled as Jessica disappeared from sight. Cyrus laughed evilly as he put some strange shackles on Jessica's wrists and ankles. "Let me go Cyrus," Jessica yelled but it was no use. She tried to slip through the shackles, but she couldn't. "There is a special spell on those shackles. They should hold you until the Devil comes to take you as his prize," Cyrus said and disappeared from sight. "No," Jessica whispered with a shutter running through her body.
"Royce," Jessica whispered and soon she was yelling his name. No one was coming to find her she realized sadly. Kathy and Bobby were huddled below Jessica's shackled form. "Children everything will be alright," Jessica whispered to the children. At first they freaked out but soon they calmed down. Jessica started singing a sweet lullaby to soothe the children. "I want to go home," Bobby whimpered and Kathy hugged him closer. "I do too," Kathy said. Jessica frowned and a few tears slipped out of her eyes. "I wish that you weren't stuck here," Jessica said to the two children. They started crying and Jessica cursed Cyrus. Soon the three of them were raised into the center of the house. Jessica was being dangled by my chains from the ceiling. Kathy and Bobby were in the floor surrounded by quickly moving circles.
The Latin incantation was being said through out the house and the ghosts started appearing around the main circle. Jessica saw Royce there and he gasped when he saw her. She had a tear rolling down her cheek when he saw her. "Jessica," Royce yelled angry. Jessica gave a small smile as she tried to keep myself calm. Cyrus was standing out in the glass hallway with Arthur. Arthur was being beaten up by Cyrus and Jessica went to scream, but her voice was gone. She looked shocked as she started hearing a voice in her mind. "Well aren't you a delicious looking soul," a dark demonic voice said in her mind. Jessica shook her head with small tears sliding down her cheeks. The Devil's voice chuckled darkly in her mind.
When Jessica felt a pull at her heart she thought everything was over, but the Latin incantation started messing up. "Thank you Maggie," Jessica thought as she felt the Devil's aura disappear. Royce and the other ghosts were free from the spell's hold and they all surrounded Cyrus. "Now you pay for what you've done," Jessica thought as she saw Cyrus be thrown into the swirling circles below her. Royce appeared beside her and broke the shackles that held her. Jessica fell into his arms and she hugged his neck tightly. "Thank you," Jessica whispered as she shivered from the fear of almost being the Devil's pet. "No problem," Royce said all cool. Jessica laughed and lightly pressed her lips against his. Royce looked stunned for a moment, but he soon responded.
When the two of them broke apart from the kiss, the glass house had been blasted to small pieces. Royce was about to carry Jessica out of the house when a voice stopped them. "Thank you Jessica," Arthur called out to Jessica. Jessica smiled and said, "Don't worry about thanking me. I'm just happy that all of you are alright. I'm sorry that you had to witness Dennis's death. Dennis I'm sorry that you had to be killed, but you sacrificed your life for the future of Arthur and his family. Thank you," I said to Arthur and then to Dennis who was standing behind Arthur. Dennis gave a smile to Jessica as Royce carried her away from the glass house. All of the other ghosts were leaving the glass house and disappearing into the forest. "Even though I wasn't able to help them like I wanted to, I was still able to help one of them," Jessica thought as she placed her hand on Royce's cheek. Royce looked down at her and smiled.
"Where do you want to go?" Royce asked while looking down into Jessica's eyes. "Let's go anywhere that doesn't have to do with the devil or glass houses," Jessica said and they both laughed. "I think I can manage that," Royce said as he walked into the forest with Jessica.
