A Healing Touch

The knife that was in Megan’s hand was suddenly protruding from the chest of the demon that had tried to attack her. She smirked and spun kicking the knife sideways in it’s chest. The thing immediately ashed and she grabbed her knife and wiped it on her pant leg before slipping it back where it belonged. Her eyes connected with JB’s when she glanced up and wiped her hands on the back of her pants.

“Impressive…” JB said smirking.

“Thanks…” Megan said grinning back.

“Where’d you learn to do that?”

“Uhm, Louisiana?” Megan said her eyes dropping his gaze.

“You think you could teach me to do that?” JB asked moving his eyes to the pile of ash on the ground.

“Yeah sure” Megan said smiling at him. Ana shook her head at the two of them.

“Seriously you guys.” Willa said

“What?” JB asked

“You know what Jason.”

“What the hell’s wrong?” Megan asked looking at Ana and Willa

“Nothing’s wrong… let’s just focus on what we came here for.”

“The two of you can eye-fuck each other later.” Willa muttered.

“WILLA” JB said shaking his head at his cousin.

“What?”

“That was so uncalled for Willa.” Megan said.

“I’m crude… you’ll get used to it…” Matt smirked.

“I’ve known her my whole life and I’m still not used to it…” JB nmuttered

“Really? You mean it doesn’t grow on you?” Megan asked.

“No” JB said shaking his head.

“You’re still just mad because of that time in high school…”

“We’re not talking about that!”

“What happened in high school?” Megan asked.

“I'm not talking about that... I buried that memory deep down, and that's where it's gonna stay.” JB said looking at her then glaring at Willa.

“Obviously it’s not that deep down if you still remember what it is.” Willa said smirking.

“I wanna know…” Matt said glancing between his girlfriend and his friend.

“I am not having this discussion…” JB said glaring.

“No one said you had to.” Matt said

“I don’t even want to hear this conversation.”

“Wow, it really bothers you that much still?” She grinned though as she continued. “Either it happens in front of you or he finds out later and then says something to you.” Willa said grinning.

“Uhm, well it’s not gonna happen now anyways… can we do this and get the hell outta here?” Ana said her eyes darting around the room.

“Yeah it’s bad enough I was kidnapped and forced here against my will.”

“I could’ve drugged you Mya.”

“Oh shut up!” Cara said at the same time. Mya glared at both.

“Well…get to chatting with our darling brother…” Willa said shoving Mya towards the stairs.

“I don’t wanna…”

“Do I have to fucking carry your ass upstairs too?” JB demanded

“You wouldn’t dare…”

“We just forced you out of your own house and you think he won’t carry you up a flight of stairs?” Willa asked trying not to laugh.

“There’s five other guys here to help him this time…” Matt said crossing his arms over his chest.

“Now go fucking talk to him and find out what we need to do or, trust me, you won't have to worry about them.” Willa said glaring.

“What the fuck am I suppose to ask him?” Mya asked defeated.

“For starters? How about why he’s a raging homicidal maniac…” Willa said glaring.

“Yeah that’s a good start… fucker shot me…”

“MATT!!!” Ana and Johnny yelled at the same time.

“Well he did…”

“I’m not going up there…” Mya’s eyes had widened in fear.

“And why the fuck not? Other than you’re selfish and think that if you ignore it, it’ll all go away.”

“Who’s going with me?”

“Fucking ridiculous…I swear…” Willa said rolling her eyes and pulling her sister towards the stairs.

“Be careful…” Matt said quietly to himself.

“Fuck… now why’s she gotta go and do that?” Val said appearing beside Leana.

“Jesus Val!” Leana said jumping.

“Hi Leana… so who’s following them? Me a and Cara?”

“Probably for the best… The fewer people he has access to the better.” Cara replied.

“One shout away… you know that.” Ana said looking at the two ghosts.

“Gotcha. Things start looking off and I’ll let you know.” Val said

“Don’t let her get hurt Val…” Matt said.

“I won’t…” Val said nodding before her and Cara disappeared.

“I hope they know what they’re doing…” Ana said shaking her head.

Mya stood staring at the door that Willa was inserting the key into. She could feel her brothers hatred and anger. It was directed at one person and she knew it was their father. Mya touched Willa’s shoulder and when she turned mouthed wait. Willa stepped back and Mya pointed to her head and Willa understood.

‘…are you listening to me? Nod if you are…’ Mya thought. Willa nodded. ‘…unlock the door…’

‘…okay…’

‘…together then sis?…’ then they pulled back looking at one another both shocked. It was evident in both of their eyes. They hadn’t known. After the initial shock they nodded and opened the door together. He was at the top of the stairs. Willa dropped the key on the floor and kicked it towards the stairs sending a mental shout out that the key was headed towards the gang. They stayed side by side as they walked up the stairs and Mya pulled the door closed behind them.

“Well well, look what we have here… Scaredy cat Mya and Bitchy Willa…”

“You just remember that I know I’m a bitch, not just bitchy…”

“We want answers…”

“Ahh Mya… you came out of your shell…”

“Can it Hale. You shot Matt… You killed Val, You killed all those babies… I WANNA FUCKING KNOW WHY!” Willa yelled.

“How about I shoot you and you’ll never know the answer…” ‘…stupid bitch thinks she can know I had to do it. To get to her and now that I have her I’m not letting her go…’
