Chapter 2: Meetings
The cars came to a stop, one behind the other, their headlights shutting off. Out of the first car stepped out a tall man, about 5'9, with sandy blonde hair cut short. He was wearing a black trench coat, purple buisness shirt, holding a black briefcase.
'Lawyer' Kyra immediatly thought. She lowered her hand and placed them both in her back pockets of her jeans.
She turned from Dennis to look at the family exiting the white car behind the lawyers black, classy car. Dennis moved away from her and started to look around the house, flashing his light through the glass.
The family consisted of of an older male with black curly hair, an African-American women, what looked to be a 18 or 19 year old girl with long brunett hair held up in a ponytail. A little bot about 8 with the same hair as the older man had a recorder slung around him and holding a scooter. When the father locked the car the boy got on his scooter and started to roll towards them, the family and fancy suit trailing behind him.
As she scaned the visitors her eyes stayed glued to the father. 'It's him' She knew right away that he was the last ghost, just from the loving aura he had when he looked at his son.
When they grew closer Dennis came back to her side, a look of worry crossed his young features, his pale as if all the blood was drained from his body. The fancy suit approached him first while the family looked at the giant house with verying degrees of delight and wonder on their faces. With his fake smile plastered on he looked between them, annoyance and something else Kyra couldn't place in his blue eyes.
Dennis shinned his flashlight into his face and put on a cocky front. "It's about time someone showed up. This your house?" he asked condicendingly . Kyra bit the inside of her check to stop herself from laughing, the lawyer did not look happy to have the light shinned on him. He chuckled with annoyance and moved the flashlight from his face "Who are you?"
" I'm the power guy" responded Dennis, pointing the light at his badge on his chest, but moving away from the lawyers hand when he went to reach for it, to get a better look. " Don't touch"
" Ben Moss" He introduced himself turning his gaze to her, looking her up and down, a glint of lust entering his eyes. Her skin crawled as he looked her over, eyes narrowing. She didn't like this man, not one bit. There was something off about him, she could feel it. " Kyra Hines" she said in a bored tone, her eyes not giving away anything she was thinking. From the cornner of her eyes, to her left she oculd see the father looking around. She turned her gaze back to the suit
" I'm here on my own buisness, no concern to you." she finnished with a hard glare directed at him. A nervous flicker of his eyes and Ben was back to argueing with the 'power guy', asking if he could back tomorrow to check the breaker. Dennis told him that because of this house 5,000 other houses had no power and his bosses frowned upon that.
The father interupted the pair and said with a kind smile that there was not problem with him coming inside now. Dennis shined the light back in Ben's face " Thank You!" saying loudly, before turning his attention back to the ohter man " Mr...?" The black haired man answered " Kriticos, Arthur Kriticos" whel fishing something out of his coat "This is my daughter Kathy. my son Bobby, and the nanny Maggie" he inroduced, pointing to each person corisponding with the name.
Dennis looked down for a second, a nervousness about him before looking back up at Arthur " Nice house you have here" his voice shaking a little, Kyra seemingly being the only one that noticed. Arthur finally found what he was looking for, a small gold key, and inserted it in the key hole. He twisted it to unlock the door and it was sucked inside, making a click sound. A few seconds later and the front doors opened reaveling a beautiful house to the onlookers. 'It's a deceving place. It may look peaceful but look deeper and you'll find chaos' Kyra thought with a morbid facination.
The family gave a small cheer of oh's and aw's while walking inside, looking around with bright, wide eyes. She smiled slightly at the excitement but it fell when a blast of the ghosts hatered and bloodlust plowed into her, giving her a feeling of having the wind knocked out of her. Kyra grabbed the fram of the door, breathing hard, trying to regain herself. If she thought it was bad outside, inside without the seals in front of her was worse. How she was going to survive getting closer to them, she had no idea. But she had to do it, or else all hell would break lose.
The red head took a large breath in her lungs and looked inside the house, only one thng running through her mind. " So it has begun" she whispered softly so only she heard it.
Ben Moss and Arthur went towards the library to sign paperwork and discuse other things. Bobby went with maggie to explore and Kathy went on her own, even though their father told them not to move.
Dennis headed for the basement with Kyra following, his trusty flashlight held in his right hand. The belt that he had was left behind, along with his white hard hat. She looked at his back with a kind of amused confuson, how could he not sense the overwhelming auras? ' Most likely not strong enough to. He must have not trained and tried to ignore his gift'
She's seen many people that had the sight or a different gift ignore it. They all wanted normal lives but she couldn't. She accepted her power and destiny. Kyra always wanted to help the spirits around her, even if they were already dead, they still had the right to find peace.
Her goal on this job was to not only save the people here but to also set the spirits free, try to help them passed their tortured realm. Not going to be easy but she was going to do it.
" So why did you decided to come with me?" he asked nicely, trying to make conversation even though she could tell he was uncomfortable. So he finally can feel them. " I have something I need to do down there" She decided to answer with a friendly tone, if he was going to be civil, she might as well to. It was also a simple answer that wouldn't give away why she was truely there, not wanting to explain everything yet. Although it probably would be a better idea to let them know but then they wouldn't believe her and there would be argueing and yelling.
She always hated fighting.
Dennis looked over his shoulder at her witha confused face but shrugged it off and continued down the stairs. was they were at the basement he collapsed, his body jerking violently. Kyra rushed to him, careful not to touch him. She knew ot was do to his power and the ghosts being so close. Even she was breathing hard, a headache forming behind her eyes from trying to block them out.
His breathing gradually returned to it's normal pace from it's eratic form just seconds ago. He lifted himself off the ground, pale and shacky, but otherwise unharmed. Once she knew he was ok, Kyra ventured forward to see containment cubes with the latin seals on them, 12 all together, and each contained it's own spirit. Dennis walked passed her and looked and each cubes symbole.
A look of dread crossed his face and stayed there as he quickly ran passed her up the stairs, and most likely headed to the library to tell the news of what he found. Getting the hell out of there, smart man she thought. If she had any common sense and self presivation she would also get out of that basement but alas, she did not, also add in the fact that it was her job to save those trapped souls.
The girl shook her head, her dark red curls moving with it, getting in her face. She tucked her hair behind one of her ears, sucked in a deep breath, squaring her shoulders against the hate that beat down on her, and walked forward.
'Here goes nothing' she thought with determination set in her beautiful sky blue eyes as she reached the middle of the room, ready to face her fate.
