She finally made her way into town, she was beginning to shiver in the cold weather, clearly she wasn't prepared.
Elise made her way down every block of the downtown area, she searched for a Sheriff's Department car or Deputy Olsen himself but her shaking body couldn't take much more of the cold and she was beginning to give up.
"Elise!" someone yelled out behind her.
She turned around to find the deputy coming toward her, she stood where she was, as if if she moved they'd lose each other.
Deputy Olsen crossed his arms "SO what's so important that you just had to come to me?" he asked.
Elise pulled the sleeve up and showed the deputy the hand shaped bruise on her wrist, he was speechless as he looked up to her.
"Who did that to you?" he asked.
Elise raised her eye rows "Who do you think?" she asked.
The deputy looked over Elise's head to see that they were standing in front of a coffee shop.
"Want to get some coffee?" he asked.
"I think this is bigger than I thought." Elise admitted, stirring her coffee.
The deputy took a sip of his coffee "Don't give up. You need to end this!" he said.
Elise rolled her eyes "I haven't even started it! He's not playing games, he's getting straight to the point and trying to kill me and my father. Mostly me." She said, taking a sip of her coffee.
The deputy smiled, he grabbed his notepad and a pen from his pocket and began to write down a number "Then we shall pick up where Ellison left off." He said, ripping out the paper and handing it to Elise.
"Professor Sean Jonas?" Elise asked.
"Ellison spoke with him a mere two hours before he was murdered." The deputy said.
Elise nodded, putting the number in her bag before going back to her coffee "Thanks." She said gently.
The deputy nodded "No problem, just edge into the Bughuul talk with him, he didn't take Ellison's death lightly." He said.
Elise nodded as she took another sip of her coffee, she could feel her cell phone vibrate in her pocket for the hundredth time.
She groaned as she grabbed her phone to check it: 5 missed calls and 13 text messages just from her father.
"I've got to go." She said, standing up from her seat "Thanks for the coffee." She said.
The deputy nodded as she stood up "You're welcome." He said.
"If you want, I can give you a lift home," he suggested "The sun is setting, which means you'll freeze to death and you won't be able to se." he said.
Elise scrunched her nose, wanting to say 'no', but she knew he had several points.
She heard Deputy Olsen drive out of the driveway as she entered the house where her father was waiting for her in the living room.
Elise closed the door, waiting for her father to pounce on her as he got up off the couch and walked out of the living room.
"You know what, I'm just going to beat you to the punch; I'm 23 and I deserve to have a life, and I'm not going to let Epilepsy stop me!" she said.
Harold looked at his daughter before kissing her forehead and going upstairs "Goodnight, Elise." He simply said before disappearing upstairs.
Elise placed her cardigan on the hanger before she walked down the hallway and entered the office where everything was still in its place.
She grabbed her wallet from inside her purse and pulled out Doctor Jonas' number; she looked at the clock to see that it was half past nine; Elise thought it over before she grabbed her cell phone and began dialing his number.
It seemed like he wasn't going to answer when she pulled the phone away from her ear when she heard somebody pick up on the other end.
"This is Professor Jonas." She voice on the other end of the phone, it was clear he had run to his phone.
Elise cleared her throat "Uh, hi…yes…Professor Jonas,"
"Who is this?" he asked, interrupting Elise.
"I'm Elise, Elise Hannity." She said.
"Are you a student?" he asked.
Elise was taken aback by the professor "Uh, no." she said, looking around the office.
The professor sighed "Okay, then Ms. Hannity, how can I help you?" he asked.
She cleared her throat "I was hoping to maybe speak with about a deity that I've recently come across." She said, swallowing hard as she waited for him to respond.
"What deity?" he asked.
Elise put her free hand in her jeans pocket "Bughuul." She said softly.
The professor was silent, she was sure she had lost him before she heard him gently clear his throat "Do you think you could come to my office tomorrow?" he asked.
Elise closed her eyes "Yes. What time would be good for you?" she asked.
Elise waited for Professor Jonas in his office while Deputy Olsen made an appearance at the Sheriff's office until she called to pick her up.
She rocked in her chair as she waited; she was getting more anxious by the second as she heard him fiddle in his classroom before he finally walked into his office.
Professor Jonas sat at his desk and glared at Elise for a moment before he cleared his throat "How do you know about Bughuul?" he asked.
Elise stared back at the professor "He's in my house." She responded.
The professor nodded "Where do you live?" he asked.
"Ellison Oswalt's old house." She said softly, her breathing began to shallow as she Professor looked away from her for the first time during their talk.
"Professor Jonas. I need your help…please." She said gently.
The professor looked at her; she played with her fingers as she noticed the wheels turning in his head.
"What all do you know?" he asked.
Elise let a small smile escape her lips "Everything." She said softly.
