Eagle Crest Hallows [3]

Jesse

I look up at the guy. "Rayah only trusts Molly," I breathe, looking back down at Rayah.

Molly, please come. Please.

Nothing happens and I swear, dropping to my knees. "Daddy do something!"

Cheer

Sighing, I shimmered. I vanished and appeared with Molly by my side. "She insisted," I said gesturing to the girl.

Molly

I appear next to Cheer and look down at the girl, sensing she's dead.

"What do you want me to do about it?" I ask shrugging.

She looks at me, "Heal her! You can bring the dead back to life right?"

I nod, "I'm too lazy right now..." I sighed

Kira Nemesis

The kid finally gets off as I see the three of them outside, I wonder outside and slowly approach them as I pry both minds for names, but I stopped as I got close to the two, the stech of death so heavy on them it was unbareable.

"My god you two reek!" I say aloud.

Alyx

I take the twins upstairs, not wanting them involved in any of this nonsense, and lock them in their parents' room.

"Get some sleep," I whisper.

I take them to the bed and tuck them in, ignoring the emotion building up inside me. His presence... He hovers over them, blankets them... He came back too late.

Jesse

"RAYAH WAKE UP!" I scream, my tears dropping onto her palened face. "Ugh!" I give up and plop down just as I see something come out of her. I scream just as she covers my mouth but her hand goes through me. "WHAT THE HELL?!" I scream shaking my head.

This isn't real...This isn't real, This Isn't.

Alyx

I sit on the edge of the bed, watching the twins fall asleep.

It's all my fault. I orphaned my niece and nephew. I ripped their parents away....If I'd just could have fixed him...If I just didn't mark him...

I feel a hand on my shoulder, but there's nothing there when I look at it.

God, Jace, just let me feel this way. What else is there?

Jesse

Rayah dissapears before appearing upstairs and turns herself visible. I rush up after her and try to hug her but it's just air. I'm trying to hig air. She crouches infront of Alyx before speaking...or trying to speak.

She realizes she cant and rolls her eyes.

Alyx

An almost transparent Rayah appears before me and I stand, freaked out. Jace's touch leaves me and I feel his presence move beside hers.

"Uh... Can't hear you," I whisper, "And the twins...They're sleeping."

Rayah's spirit

I sigh before biting my lip and thinking. I find out what to do and speak into his mind.

Tell them I'll always be here- I pointed to my 'heart'.

Alyx

'He'll always be here..'

I shake my head out of my thoughts and blink a few times, hearing her again.

"I know," I say, "So do they."

Rayah's spirit

I nod slowly, flashing a smile.

Thank you, I say, walking over to the kids. I blew them kisses before looking for Jace.

Alyx

She wanders around, probably looking for Jace. His presence follows her, trying to show himself, but can't make itself visible.

Kira Nemesis

"Your time is up you two, you've made your final goodbyes it's time for a trip to the underworld, the both of you!" I said to the spirt's.

They spun and looked at me with mistifeid looks on there faces.

"Yea I can see you two, your dead and must go to the underworld." I continue.

Alyx

The twins stir and I hush them, shaking my head at people's lack of respect for their sleep. I feel the hand on my shoulder again and don't turn to it, closing my eyes to listen.

Don't leave them. Not like I did, he whispers in my mind.

I won't. I promised.

I open my eyes and the feeling of him there is gone, his presence having disappeared. The room feels emptier, colder. The children seem less peaceful.
