GHѺST WHISPERER
The Rising of the Underworld
Chapter 14
"The Underneath Part One"
Melinda and Andrea grabbed their coffee's and ran outside and followed the crack that had developed towards "Same as it never was". Melinda realized something very serious. Haven't she seen this before? Yes, she did, the dream she had at the beginning. Melinda was in for a big surprise, in a couple of hours, she will make a discovery that will change her world for ever, and possibly everyone as well.
Andrea walked with Melinda to the store and felt the warm breeze hit her face, but this time, the breeze started to go cold and the beautiful sky that once was blue is now a hazy gray.
"Mel, something's wrong" Andrea said. Melinda smiled as she slowly opened the front of her store.
"Happy you received the gift to state that obvious" said Melinda sarcastically. Andrea stopped and gave Melinda the stink eye and walked in the store. Melinda looked around her store to see if anyone was in the room.
"Hello, is someone here?" asked Melinda. No one answered. Andrea had a bad feeling about this.
"The store is closed for a bit, but if you come back later, it will surely be open then" said Melinda. Andrea looked around.
"I don't think it's a, you know, customer" said Andrea. Melinda looked and noticed Stacey again in her store.
"You again" noticed Melinda. Andrea looked at Melinda then realized she was talking to a ghost.
"I will just be in the basement to see if there was any damage" said Andrea.
Melinda put her stuff down and started to talk to Stacey.
"What happened to you?" asked Melinda. Stacey looked at Melinda. She was caressing the paintings on the way for sale in Melinda's store.
"You know, they all have these histories, the paintings have been witnesses to many crimes, family gatherings, and have heard the many secrets of people" said Stacey.
"What does that have to do with you?" asked curious Melinda.
"Nothing, I just admire paintings. But you can't be in this store, they are released from the Underneath and now they walk this earth" said Stacey. Melinda looked around.
"I can't see them, who?" asked Melinda.
"Demons, the ones who want you dead, the ones who work closely for their lord" said Stacey.
Melinda was starting to get nervous.
"What do you mean?" asked Melinda.
"Your death, is closer than you think" said Stacey. Then a black figure grabbed Stacey into the wall and she screamed to be released.
"Leave!" screamed Stacey. Melinda looked for Andrea and walked down stairs to only see Andrea's purse on the ground and the wooden frame that was once blocking the entrance way to the underneath, was on the ground.
"Andrea?" asked Melinda. No one was there. Then she heard faint screams coming from the Underworld and she quickly picked up her flashlight and ran into the cave like entrance.
"Andrea!" screamed Melinda.
Hospital
Delia and the doctor ran into the room and Ned was lying down again so he could rest.
"Ned, I am glad to see your up and back" said Doctor Bryce. She waved her black hair around her shoulder and bent down to feel Ned's fever.
"Okay, well your at a healthy rate, and your fever went down extremely well" said Bryce.
Delia smiled and put her hand on Ned's shoulder.
"Good, I was so worried" said Delia.
"Listen Ned, I have to go see Melinda for a second, so get some rest and doctor Bryce will take care of you" said Delia.
"I'll be fine mom" said Ned. Delia smiled knowing her son was all grown up and ready for the world, but Delia thought she might hold him in for a little longer.
Delia ran out of the hospital and towards her car. She felt the cool breeze hit her face and she knew something was coming.
As Delia was driving, she heard something in her backseat. Delia looked at the back quickly to see what it was, and she noticed that her bag was hitting against the door. When Delia fixed it, she put her gaze at the road and a car was driving right at her. Delia tried to move to the side, but her car spun out of control and she went into a ditch and hit a tree. Delia was knocked out with blood coming down her face, against the steering wheel. The sound of the car alarm faded in the distance.
