Mount Olympus [5]

Nic

I hesitate, wishing I could still keep Jackie in my arms, "For a few hours."

Jackie

I hear the giggles again and Rayah tenses, swallowing again before looking at Nic.

Edge

I look around and mutter, "Oh god, she followed me..." I look back at Nic, who is staring at me strangely. "I might be able to help."

Nic

I study the guy, "How?"

Jackie

I sense her presence in the room and Rayah freezes taking a deep breath.

Edge

"First of all, I am a son of Pluto. I can raise the dead blah, blah, blah, but one of my special traits is that I can summon spirits. I like to talk to them. Well, anyway, I might be able to get her out of Jackie, but only when she becomes possessed, otherwise she is like trying to hit the wind." I look at Nic fiercly. "Whatever she does, you must not try and grab her. It is painful,the process, but no human must touch her, okay?"

Nic

Pluto? Painful? I look at Jackie, swallowing, before glancing back at him, "I-I'll try. You're Roman, though, aren't you?"

Jackie

Something enters me and I gasp before opening my eyes, my eyes blank white. The kid makes me glance at Rayah before standing and running downstairs, giggling.

Edge

I smile faintly. "Long story, all fit for a later time, but I think the spirit is near." I refrain from mentioning her name and clear my throat.

I try to look reassuring, but my hart is pounding and my legs are weak.

Jackie looks up and smiles. I look at Nic before getting pushed aside as Jackie runs downstairs.

Nic

Jace hands Rayah Halee before keeping me from running after Jackie.

"Let him handle it," he tells me, "We can't do anything more."

Jackie

The spirit possessing me, it makes me destroy some vases before turning all the sinks on around the house and letting them run.

Edge

I nod towards Jace, and run downstairs. The faucets are on, and broken glass is everywhere.

"Jackie?" I asked, looking around.

"That is not my name." Says a high voice, and a giggle sounds from behind me.

I don't tun around. "No, it's not, is it? Is that you Joan?"

A small yes came from behind and I swallowed, this is gonna be harder than I thought.

Nic

I close my eyes and try to calm down, taking deep breaths as I listen to what's going on downstairs.

Jackie

She forces me to run upstairs and back into the room, grabbing Rayah by the wrist as she sets down Halee. I pull her out of the room and into the living room, "Play with me!"

She screams before shaking her head and my eyes turn red, "Play with me...!"

Edge

I concentrate on Jackie, who left the room for some reason, but I can't deal with that now.

"Joan." I said, forcing all the power I have into my words, "Come to me, I want to talk to you."
