Chapter 30

CARI'S POV

All I wanted was to get out of the hospital and go home. I was completely exhausted and the fact that reporters and Doctors and nurses kept asking me so many questions I couldn't think straight didn't help at all. If I could just go home and shift into my ghost form I should be able to hear faster. At least I think I should be able to, but the doctors definitely wouldn't go for that.

What definitely didn't make matters any better was the fact that they also thought I was delusional. They thought that there was no way their precious Mayer could do something like that.

My parents came to see me as soon as they could. Both of them cried with relief. Tucker, Sam, and Danny all kept their distance which I was grateful for, the less people the better.

I also wasn't a big fan on the IV in my hand. I almost screamed bloody murder when they stuck it in my arm. Vlad really screwed me up with that one. I just wished that I knew what that red liquid was.

It was about 9 when everyone had to leave. Although I knew all too well that I would get little to no sleep. I'd stayed overnight at a hospital once before when I was in 7th grade. I'd broken my arm in just the right spot where surgery was needed to fix it. That had probability been the worst night of my life. Well after the whole kidnapping thing, but those are on two completely different levels.

I turned on the mini flat screen TV to entertain myself and what'd ya know there's a reporter right in front of Amity Park's hospital telling the story of how my friends had checked me in. I quickly changed the channel.

Suddenly I heard someone talking in a somewhat whispered tone "Leave." the voice demanded, and the next thing I knew the IV was out of my arm
and was already to fly out the window in my ghost form. I was only brought back to my senses when an alarmed nurse walked in.

It only got worse when she yelled "You you're the one the kidnapped that girl! Where did u take her this time!?"

I struggled to find words to explain what was going on. Then the voice came back saying the same thing again, "Leave!" I turned around threw the window all the way open and jumped out. I almost hit the ground before the voice whispered "Fly." I instantly flew upwards and off into the dark. I heard distant police sirens. I guessed the nurse had called the cops.

My next thought was to go home but the voice said otherwise, "Danny's!" it said this time it was louder. I veered left and flew towards Danny's house. I had no idea why I was listening to this voice, but it just seemed right.

I flew right into his room and I was so lucky he wasn't changing into his pajamas. Then again I felt kind of bad because he fell off his bed in shock.

"Shhhh!" I hissed running over to help him up.

"Cari! What are you doing here why aren't you in the hospital?" Danny demanded.

"I uh" I couldn't tell him I was hearing voices. He'd think I had completely lost it. "I was discharged?" I told him, although it ended up sounding more like a question.

"Ya sure you were that's why you came here at 10 o'clock. Cari what's going on, does this have anything to do with what Vlad did to you back there?"

I could almost feel my face darken. I had no idea what to say to him. Then the voice came to save the day "Stay overnight."

"Can I just spend the night please? I need time to think things over. Please, just one night." I begged.

"Okay," he agreed, "but if the cops come knocking on my door. I'm turning you in."

"Okay." I laughed in agreement. I transformed back into Cari Silver and looked down at my hospital gown. "Oh and um could I possibly borrow some clothes?" I asked sheepishly.

"Sure I'll go see if Jazz has anything you could borrow." Danny walked out of his room. Once he had closed the door behind him. I rushed over to the window and saw a police car driving towards my house. Great now my parents were going to lose it. God I really screwed this up.

Danny ran back in holding a teal T-shirt and a black pair of shorts. "Here put these on" he threw them over to me.

"Thanks so much. I seriously owe you." I changed in his closet and then stole one of his pillows and lied down on his bedroom floor. I just wished all of this would be sorted out by its self. Also I was really hoping that the red liquid had nothing to do with that voice in my head.
