Well Im glad you like it. And yes, maybe. This one might have been to.
JJ stopped breathing.
the Witch was standing behind her, talking normally.
Shouldn't that mean Lyssa was nearby?
True to Reid's word, the little girl enveloped JJ in a bear hug, giggling in her ear.
"What puppet do you wanna be?" Lyssa asked breathlessly, "I have lots and lots of puppets!"
JJ stiffened then scrambled out of the little girls embrace.
Reid had opened his eyes and was now following JJ as they began to run away from the two.
"Hurry! They give up eventually!" Reid huffed as he sprinted away with JJ.
"Can they give up now?" JJ screamed.
Soemthing inhuman screamed behind them and the whole field shuddered.
JJ looked back to see the thing that had been in her room tackle Reid, pinning him to the ground while it laughed in his screaming face.
Ivona whinced and held her temple.
"Ivona?" Prentiss asked, slowly standing.
"It's nothing." Ivona waved her off, "Whatevers keping Spencer's soul... there detected me. It's trying to break the connection!"
Ivona gave a shout of pain and screamed before going limp and slumping to the floor!
"IVONA!" Prentiss cried, hopping over the bar and running to her.
When she grabbed Ivona's shoulder it was like Prentiss had been electrocuted. Rossi saw her tremble violently and little electric surges appear for a few seconds in different places around her body. Prentiss fell next to her friend where she lay there shaking violently.
"EMILY!" Rossi screamed, about to follow suit.
"DONT TOUCH HER!" Ivona screamed, struggling to get up. "Don't... touch... her." She breathed.
"But I need to-"
"What you need agent is to take a few steps back!"
Reid kept trying to avoid the burned and horribly destroyed little girl.
But she kept inching her face closer and closer. Until her head rested on his chest.
"Who are you talking to huh?" she asked, "Someone important?"
She clawed into Reid's side, securing him to her so he couldn't get away.
"Can I talk too?"
Prentiss laid there for what felt like forever. Then she moved a little. Her hair covered her face as she sat up on her elbows.
"Oh thank gosh! Prentiss your alive!" Rossi cried rushing over.
"WAIT!" Ivona held her head and limped a little but she still managed to get inbetween the two agents. "Don't touch her Rossi. Something's wrong."
"What?"
"Is that your name?" Prentiss asked in an inhumanly sweet little voice. She giggled a little and when she looked up, her eyes were wide with insanity. Her face had contorted into some sort of demonic smile!
"Oh no." Ivona whimpered, "Oh no." she backed into Rossi, pushing him back. "Get behind the bar! Get behind the bar now!"
Rossi didn't have to be told twice. The second after he got behind the bar Prentiss managed to stand up.
"Where did he go?" She laughed, taking a step, "Did he not want to play?"
"no. And neither do I. Where's Spencer?"
Suddenely Prentiss demonic face grew angry, it was one of the few most horrifying things either of the other two had ever seen!
"HE'S MY PUPPET TO PLAY WITH! MINE! YOU CAN'T HAVE HIM!" Prentiss screamed throwing her fists around in the middle of a tempurtantrum. The room began to shake and the lights began flickering. Books and knick knacks fell off shelves in the rooms outside this one.
Rossi struggled not to fall while Ivona took a step forward.
"I understand now." she whispered to herself.
JJ did the first thing that came to her mid: kick the thing lying ontop of her friend until it let go.
It screeched when JJ's foot made contact with its side but it held on.
Reid's eyes had turned a hollow black, and his skin was turning pale. He mumbled something in a faint whisper.
"No... he's my puppet to play with... Mine!... you can't... have him."
Finally JJ's kick to the thing's ribs made it loosen its grip. JJ leaned down and checked Reid's pulse. Then she grabbed his shoulders and started shaking him.
"Reid! Reid come on! Come back! REID!"
Ivona had a hand around Prentiss' wrist. The other was clamped firmly to the top of her head.
"Leave my friend! Leave my friend! LEAVE MY FRIEND!" she screamed over and over until finally Prentiss stopped screaming.
Instead she gave a cry of pain and held her side, then she fell to the floor.
"Reid!" She screamed in another woman's voice, "Reid come on! Come back! Reid!"
"JJ!" Ivona screamed, holding Prentiss' hand, "You have to let go! Get off of Reid!"
Then there was silence. Then Prentiss passed out, a sigh escaping her lips as she crumpled to the ground. She didn't get up again.
"Atleast that demonic smile is gone." Rossi said shakily. "I dont think anyone would have let her back in to headquarters with it."
"Shutup Rossi." Prentiss and Ivona groaned together.
As soon as the black spots cleared from her vision, Prentiss turned to Ivona.
"What was all that?"
Ivona didn't make eye contact.
"It was Lyssa, fueled by an evil spirit. Although I'm guessing that last part was your friend JJ trying to get her away. Don't get ad at her for that." Ivona half-smiled, finally looking at Prentiss.
"So... where are they?" Prentiss asked, standing up, but needing to pause to get her bearing, leaning against the black wire table.
"I'm guessing the veil."
"The what?" Rossi asked, judging it was safe to venture past the gold bar and walking to Prentiss.
As he placed one of her arms on his shoulder Ivona grabbed two thick books from the next room.
"The veil," she walked over to the table and moved the crystal ball onto the floor. Then she raised the books a few feet from the surface of the table and placed the ends together, "Is the thing seperating the physical world," she motioned her head at the table, "From the beyond!"
Rossi stared skeptically while Prentiss rested her head on his chest, staring intently.
"There are cracks in the veil though." She pulled the ends of the books apart, "Otherwise our spirits couldn't reach our physical bodies when were born, or we couldn't, you know, enter the light when we die. But sometimes spirits slip back through the cracks. Or miss the cracks all together for some reason. Then they have two, well three options: a) stay on the veil and try to find a crack. Or b) return to earth and try to find out why your not in Heaven yet."
"And the third?"
"Become an evil spirit. I don't know how it works but based on my experience and findings, those are the three things you can do. I dont know how it works, thats just the three results."
"So, to go past the cracks would mean your dead?"
"Yeah. Anywhere near the cracks means your dead though." Ivona's voice got very small.
"So..." Prentiss swallowed hard.
"I think so."
