Chapter 5

Madison pulled her car up to the Hospital, turned it off and jumped out of the car.

"Alright lets get this over with its a long drive to Texas"

"Jace I am not going to Texas"

"Yea, well we will see" They walked up to the door and pried it open and started toward the kitchen.

"Lets just try to kill the spirit as fast as we can and then we will talk"

"You think we can find whatever is keeping her here before she knows we are here?" Jason was interrupted by a loud crash coming from the kitchen, they turned to each other.

"I'm gunna say no" Jason cocked his gun and started walking towards the kitchen keeping himself one or two steps in front of Madison, he knew she could handle herself but he also knew how reckless she could be, how she would put herself in the line of fire if she thought it would help. As he walked into the kitchen he scanned it trying to sense the danger before it presented itself, he felt Madison push past him and he froze watching her for a second smiling inside before following her. Madison started knocking pots and pans aside, not trying to mask the sounds they were making that would attract the spirit.

"Are we trying to let the ghost know we are here?"

"She had to burn her hand on a pot or something"

"Ok if she did how are we gunna burn a pot?" Madison stopped and looked up at him and seemed to be thinking about how to answer but she didn't get a word out before she was flung across the room taking down a stack of dishes with her she heard the crash of the dishes before she landed on them, the glass cutting into her side.

"Maddie!" Jason started to run toward her.

"No, find the pan I'm handling it"

"Really that's you handling it, I'd hate to see you get your ass kicked" Jason went back to looking over the ovens trying to find anything that someone could burn themselves on. Madison was pulling glass out of her arm when she felt herself being lifted and slammed into the nearby wall she threw out her hand to punch trying to buy herself some more time when the spirit threw her into an oven and lifted her up against the wall again.

"So is the reason you wont come to Texas because of Dean?" Madison opened her eyes trying to ignore the pain that was rising up from her side.

"Is now the best time to have this conversation?" She chocked out feeling the spirits fingers start to close around her throat.

"Now is as good as any"

"Jace just find the damn pot" Madison took a deep breath and reached out her hand surrounded by fire willing herself to touch the spirit, she heard the spirit scream and she was let go, not wanting to give the spirit another chance to get one up on her she ran over to Jason and grabbed his arm.

"I cant find anything that has skin on it"

"That's ok I have a better idea" She turned to the ovens against the north wall and flicked her finger and all the knobs turned on letting the gas fill the room.

"Time to go" she started running towards the front doors.

"Maddie you can't blow the whole place up"

"I can contain the fire it'll be fine" Madison stood outside the window of the kitchen and picked up a rock letting the fire from her engulf the rock and she threw it into the window just as the spirit appeared. Madison closed her eyes and concentrated on connecting with the fire from the rock as she heard the BOOM from the gas and closed her eyes tighter. As the fire grew bigger she could feel the heat on her face and felt some stray debris brushing past her, she could feel her powers rising and could feel the dead witches blood mixing with her own and she snapped open her eyes as she connected with the fire and waved her hand putting it out, the building looked as it did before the explosion there was no fire, no debris, no gaping hole just a small smell of smoke in the air. She closed her eyes and let out a deep breath.

"Are you ok?" Jason walked up and put his hand on her shoulder as she spun around letting herself lean against his chest.

"I'm good just tired"

"Come on lets go make sure she's really gone" Jason and Madison walked back into the hospital, he was keeping his hand on her hip in case her legs betrayed her and she felt herself wanting to thank him for being there for her but she found her throat dry and her head weak so decided against it to keep her strength. They walked into the kitchen and Jason was amazed to see the kitchen looked like there wasn't just a big blast right in the center of the room, he looked at Madison and she gave him a small smile. He turned to the center of the kitchen and saw a small burn mark on the floor in the shape of a spatula.

"Of course it would be the spatula" Jason let out a laugh and walked back over to Madison taking her arm and putting it over his shoulders lifting her into his arms.

"Jace I feel fine you don't have to-"

"No, you killed the ghost its the least I can do" She looked up at him and smiled laying her head back onto his chest.
