Spirits

They showed us to our new home all except Otto who cannot go in the sun. Our new house was a pastel blue and had a bright white trim. Now that we are alone again, we can finally talk.

Lachlan: Do you think she could still have my mother? To be honest, I have no idea of what she even looks like.

Rosie: If it is her, then yes she may have your mother still but we have to be sure.

Lachlan: We need to keep an eye on her.

Rosie: Be careful and stay under control.

Lachlan: I know.

My head started pounding again. Almost like everyone who died was at unrest and they still had something they needed to do. The room started to spin rapidly and I was losing control. So many of them surrounded me and were shouting. I have never seen so many spirts. I started to go dizzy and I fell to the ground. My image was blurred but I still could see hundreds of sprits if not thousands of them. They were all trying to tell me something but I had no clue what.

Lachlan Point of View:

She fell to the ground with her eyes searching the entire room. Her nose was bleeding again, twice in the same day and usually it is rare for her to get them. I could not see anything but I could feel them.

Lachlan: What do you see?

Rosie: They're everywhere and they're strong.

Lachlan: I need to go back to the car for a moment.

Rosie: Do not leave me here Lachlan. I cannot be alone with them, they will take over my body and control me.

Lachlan: Let me help you up.

I lift her up and her legs went shaky. These spirts are draining her energy or using it to convey a message. She is really light so I pick her up and head to our van which is still broken down at the entrance to this town. Later on, I will have someone help me push it to our home.

Rosie: They are following.

Lachlan: How? They usually hold onto one object, right?

Rosie: Unless they are tethered to this town.

Lachlan: What is holding them here?

Rosie: I have no clue but they all want to tell me something.

Lachlan: Let's hurry then.

I run toward the van and cross the towns border. Rosie looked up almost amazed at what she is seeing.

Rosie: They all stopped at the border. They are trapped here. We need to release them.

Lachlan: I agree, but we also need to stop them from entering you.

Rosie: We need to protect the house too.

Lachlan: Here put this on.

I hand her the necklace with a small, bright red heart charm in the middle of a silver chain.

Rosie: What's this for? I know you got it for our ten year anniversary.

Lachlan: It’s enchanted to protect you.

Rosie: Wonderful. We could use some Martina's herbs to protect the house.

Lachlan: Exactly what I was thinking. You cannot walk yet.

Rosie: They took all my energy and my strength but still could not get their message across.

Lachlan: Alright.

I pick her up again and head back to the antique shop to talk with everyone. The day was starting to fade away as we entered the shop.

Arlo: What's happened here?

Lachlan: Your town has so many spirits and they did this to her.

Arlo: How many?

Rosie: Hundreds or thousands.

Arlo: Can you tell me more about them?

Rosie: They are tethered to this town and they want me.

Martina: I could rid them from your home.

Lachlan: That’s why we came here.

Martina: Follow me to my house. Darling you stay here.

Lachlan: I don't know about that.

Lilith: Do you not trust us?

Lachlan: All my life I have been hunting things all because of something. It's not the fact that I don't trust you, it's the fact I cannot trust who you are.

Otto: Understandable, but we do not mean any harm.

Lachlan: I’m sure you won't but my instincts tell me something different. I don't know you so I don't know how to trust you.

Magnolia: Let him be. He has every right to worried. He has only known us for a few hours.

Lachlan: Thank you. I would love to talk more in the morning. Right now we need to rid our house and take a long sleep.

Martina: Then, I will go quickly so you could go to bed. Follow me.

I grab Rosie and follow Martina to her house. She grabs a few herbs and a couple of other things and follows us back to our house. I can tell Rosie is seeing them again because she is searching the area with her eyes. Martina finished cleansing the house and placing a few things around to clear other types of spirits.

Lachlan: Thank you, Martina

Martina: No problem, you can call me any time if there are problems.

Lachlan: Can do. See you tomorrow.

Martina: Around nine in the morning. Bye.

Martina left our house and Rosie seemed to be calmer until she would look out the window. I don't think there are any more spirts inside our home but I think they are waiting outside. I closed our curtains and we went to bed. This new town was already promising and crazy. In our first day, Rosie had two rare nose bleeds and she is being attacked by spirits and the town is full of supernatural beings that I would usually hunt.

We wake up in the morning to a new, bright day here in Four Secrets. Rosie seemed calmer today and the house seemed safer.

Lachlan: Morning.

Rosie: Morning, what are we talking about today?

Lachlan: I have to find her.

Rosie: Lachlan, you do realize Lilith is a demon much stronger than you are. And you do realize it was 14 years ago this demon took your mother. You do not even know what she looks like.

Lachlan: I have to find her.

Rosie: Let's get ready and prepared and then we confront them.
