Mount Olympus [5]

Nic

I stay where I am, cradling Halee when she's left behind. End this. I want my fiance back. Please.

Jackie

Everything freezes inside of me before my eyes turn back to brown and she pops out of me. Letting go of Rayah, I glance around, "W-What happened?"

Edge

A spirit forms next to me. "Hello, Edge. Did you miss me? I only wanted to play with you, but you left me."

I look at her form. "I'm so sorry, Joan. I didn't mean--"

"Oh you meant it all right." Her eyes turned bright red. "Let's play, Edge."

Nic

I walk downstairs with Jace, Halee in my arms, and rush to Jackie, asking her if she's alright.

Jackie

I nod at Nic and swallow, glancing at the spirit.

Edge

I heard muted voices and sounds, but I paid them little heed. My thoughts were more focused on the infuriating mind struggle between me and the spirit.

Nic

I sigh of relief and hold Jackie and Halee close, Jace at my back.

Edge

We both knew she was winning the battle. She wriggled her way through the crevices of my mind. There was nothing I could do. I looked at Rayah and mouthed, I'm sorry, before she took control of me and we both vanished.

Rayah

Jackie's eyes roll back and she faints out of confusion, me catching her, "Sh*t Jackie."

Glancing where the guy dissapeared, I lower her to the ground and check her pulse, sighing of relief, "She'll be fine. Just shocked."

Nic

I drop beside Jackie and take her in my arms, Jace still holding Halee.

Rayah

I watch them and sigh, looking at Jace.

Nic

Jace moves to Rayah's side and takes her hand, sighing.

Rayah

Jackie stirs and crosses her arms over her stomach, me glancing around before looking at Nic, "Y-Your moving, right? To a safer place for Halee?"

Nic

I nod with no hesitation, swallowing, "I don't know where though. Jacks and I'll have to talk about it."

Rayah

I sigh and nod, "That's a good idea."

Ella yawns from in my arms and glances around before crawling to Jackie and slobbering on her shirt. Making raspberry lips, she crawls atop her stomach and sits there.
