Chapter 8
~ Hadrian POV ~
When it's over I take Ara and Will far away from this place. I can feel that it is in fact toxic. I also get the feeling that Hannibal will follow him and I honestly don't mind.
Even though we have only known each other for two days I can tell that he is a good man with a tough past. It will also be nice to have another responsible person while Arabella, William, Alexa and Stella decide to go wild.
I focused my attention on Will the boss I can honestly say I don't like him. He treats Will like a puppet. He does not pay attention she to Will will do and physical and mental well being. One plus he did was to give Will help from Hannibal.
I rubbed my eyes while we reached the dissecting room and it took a few minutes before we learned about the last victim and to get Jack out of there.
I knew that with him breathing down Ara's neck she would not be able to make contact with the spirit. She must have peace and quiet to be able to operate well and safely.
'' Nice one right '' Ara said sarcastically
'' Every day your offers sound better '' Will said and I was happy about it becouse I knew everyone will also be happy about it
'' We offered Will to work with us or we will help him open his business of training and caring for animals mostly dogs '' I said seeing Hannibal's confused face
'' I think it will be good for you, besides you love to help and take care of animals '' he said
'' Let's catch him first and see '' Will said
'' Are you sure you want to do it no one will say anything if you give up now '' Will added
'' I can do it '' Ara said before she closed mine eyes
'' Hi '' Ara said That caught the rest of us attention and we looked the same way as her even though we couldn't see anything like her. I knew she saw this women
" My name is Arabella and I want to help you ". She continued
" I know and that's why we want to catch him. We don't want him to hurt another woman '' she said
'' Did you see that "something " when that person killed you? '' Ara asked
" I know he's dangerous ' Ara said calmly
'' Can you tell me what he looked like '' she asked
'' Can you show me '' Ara asked and I knew what she wanted to do.
'' Can you show me what happened before you died, as well as this moment '' Ara said
'' Ara '' I said remembering what happened the last time she did it
She gave us a serious heart attack because what she saw was too much for her. She got a serious nosebleed as well as a minor epilepsy
'' It will help us catch him and punish him '' Ara said
'' You only do it once. You will be able to go towards the light and meet your family knowing that your murderer will pay for what he did '' Ara said
I knew she was still trying to convince the spirit to show Ara her death. Before I could react her head pointed upward in circles I knew she was in a trance.
I quickly approached her to monitor what was happening to her. I knew that if something bad started to happen I would have to pull her away from her body.
Her health and safety is our priority than finding this Killer. It took a few minutes before her head dropped here and she began to breathe deeply.
I quickly knelt beside her and when she opened her eyes she looked at me with an absent look. I placed my hand on her cheek to bring her attention back to me.
" Ara, Arabella are you with me?" She asked me confidently
" Yes " she replied softly taking deep breaths
Hannibal and William approached us carefully so as not to frighten her. I could see and worry on their faces When I nodded to them they calmed down a bit.
" Ara what did you see? What did you think you knew it was dangerous the way you were doing it. Do you remember what happened the last time you asked a ghost to show you how He died?" I said a little angry
I was happy that it looks like all is well with her but andal I was afraid that we would lose her. What happened last time will forever be etched in all of our memories
" I know it's dangerous but I had no other choice. What it showed me was not as scary as the previous ghost that died more violently. At least we know more or less the appearance and attitude of the killer " she said before touching her nose and sighed in relief seeing the lack of blood on her fingers
'' I still hate it when you do that '' I said
'' A man with brown eyes and hair, he has a good build, he is about 6'3 tall. The day he killed Anastasia he was dressed in blue jeans, a black sweatshirt and black shoes '' she said
'' Can you recognize him on the video? '' asked Hannibal
'' Yes '' she replied before taking a bottle of water from me that I pulled from my bag. Ara took a few sips before grabbing her head
'' I feel bad and feels like being hit by a train '' she said before grabbing her neck again
'' You felt the victim's feelings '' Hannibal said
'' If he cuts their vocal cords alive you can feel their pain like their blood loss effect '' he continued while standing next to me
He grabbed Ara's chin and gently lifted her face toward him. When Ara opened her eyes Hannibal pulled out a pen
'' Follow your eyes with the pen '' he said before slowly nudging it to move while Ara did what he said.
He slowly helped her up before lifting her hands up which Ara held without any problem. Hannibal did some more tasks with her before helping her sit back down
'' I would advise you to rest the rest of the day without any distractions. So no training, no research or heavy activities, pure and simple relaxation '' he said after a while
'' Let's go then, it's the end of my shift anyway and from what I know you don't have rowdy vibes today '' said Will looking at the clock
'' Pandora Ikar Hades '' I said beckoning our fuzzy companions to move
'' If Jack stops us he'll get it from me '' I warned them
'' We know '' said Will watching me take Ara in my hands.
Surprisingly we made it to our house without a row from Jack. I put Bell in our car before heading towards our house with Hannibal and Will following us. I hoped they would give us a break for the next few days
