               HE SEES HER OUT OF THE CORNER OF HIS EYE AGAIN. The first time he’d seen her, he’d been scared shitless, because, well, anyone would be after seeing a fucking ghost, but over time, he’s gotten used to her presence. It’s funny how humans can just adapt to the strangest things, isn’t it? He’s sort of brought it up to his colleagues--- a vague comment here and there about how this place is haunted, but no one has reported any ghost sightings yet. Part of James wonders if it’s all in his head; the lines are blurred sometimes and he’s never sure. These lonely nights of being a doorman at this crumbling hotel, a vestige of its’ former glory, sure fuck with his head. James hates the way the rich guests treat him like the scum of the earth by virtue of the fact that he’s broke, and it’s all he can do to keep smiling and take the inevitable verbal abuse. He’s just dealt with a particularly nasty old woman (who says you mellow out in old age, huh?) and he sits down on one of the plush lounge chairs with a sigh. Fuck this job. But he needs a roof over his head.               ❝ ——See what I have to deal with? ❞ He says out loud, to the figure in the corner, not expecting a response.

The scent of copper fills Kai’s nostrils as he inhales heavily when Jennifer stops to rest against a tree. Their surroundings are eerily quiet compared to the chaos that ensued back where they set up camp; Kai didn’t trust it one bit. The young man’s eyes dart back and forth, making sure whoever   or whatever did this, wasn’t sneaking up on them as he listens to Jennifer’s heart-wrenching pleas to make it out of this forest alive. Realistically there’s no way out of this, they’d have to travel miles on foot to get to the road and even then the chances of running into someone able to take them to a hospital were slim. 

However, if there was one thing about Kai, it’s that he was a stubborn bastard that didn’t give up so easily. He steps closer to her to examine her, Kai is in similar shape with dirt, blood, and sweat caked to his skin. Shit    the makeshift tourniquet around her leg was soaked with her blood. Were they all destined to die out here tonight? 

“ No    no you’re not going to die. I’ll carry you for a while, okay? It’s better if you keep off of it. “ Kai’s hands settle onto the other, lifting so he’s carrying her bridal style. An intense pain shoots through him, the wound on his abdomen bleeding more as he uses his strength to hold Jennifer up. The brunette grits his teeth, stifling a cry as he attempts to walk and continue their journey of reaching the road. After several minutes of what feels like hours of suppressed agony, Kai feels woozy, his legs giving out underneath him as he lets himself fall against the ground, still holding Jennifer securely as he can manage. “ Fuck...give me a second     We’ll make it. I promise we’ll make it out of here. “

​He should be grateful there’s someone here who can see him and talk to him. For the most part Kai keeps to himself, limiting his interactions with the living as most were either boring or irritating. Come to think of it, he hasn’t had much in the realm of social interaction since the day he died. How long ago was that now? Apparently long enough to see his family home turn decrepit and dust-covered. There was even foliage beginning to take over the spaces near broken windows. 

However, upon Amy’s arrival, the spirit of the cult leader paces back and forth slowly like a caged animal, ready to strike if the mood suited him. His warning to her goes unbothered and he himself is all but ignored. Oh, he doesn’t like that one bit. The corner of his lip curls into a slight sneer, though he doesn’t say a thing until Amy is finished speaking. 

“ It doesn’t take much effort. Slam a few doors, mess with their flashlights, throw some things across the room and they’ll run off. People are pussies these days. “ Kai lets out a half-amused breath and observes the other. Despite his annoyance of her presence, she has intrigued him at the very least. “ So who are you? Why are you here? “

“ No, wait, Jennifer don’t litter!!     The demons gotta pick that up, they’ll be so fucking pissed. “ Kai can’t contain the flurry of giggles that suddenly spill out of mouth with alcohol-heavy breaths. The young man was admittedly a lightweight and a very happy drunk, he hasn’t stopped smiling for the past ten minutes. Kai doesn’t bother to look at the photos he took on his phone, opting to pocket it and stumble over to settle next to Jennifer. 

Kai honestly feels a bit sick to his stomach as well, but there’s no chance in hell he’s going to allow himself to puke in front of the other. He pats around for his bag, grabbing a Slim Jim and tearing open the package after three or four drunken failed attempts. 

“ I hope I do! “ Kai exclaims with a mouthful of the processed meat stick, “ I could make money off of something like that. Too bad these demons aren’t shit! “ The brunette insults loudly into the darkness of the woods.

“ I’m not afraid, “ Kai bites back, offended at the mere suggestion that a place would instill fear into him. Just for that, he takes up the lead in walking out in front of Amy; he won’t be humiliated in his damn afterlife. If anything his own family home gave him more anxiety to be near for all the terrible things he witnessed and did within its walls. Perhaps it’s a part of the reason he’s decided to join Amy in visiting her stomping grounds. He can’t imagine any other reason why other than pure boredom, she was practically insufferable in every single way. 

The ghost of the cult leader rolls his eyes and gestures around them, “ All I meant is that it’s a fuckin’ nightmare. As in what do you even do out here? Look longingly at the moon at night and watch the grass grow during the day? Wish that you weren’t such a bitch? “

lyric based starter call || song || @shevictim​

The Louisiana number flashed on her cell phone’s screen and a rush of cold fear slipped over her. For anyone else, they would simply think that it was only a bill collector or a telemarketer, but Anita had always feared the worst. Somebody was always watching her, always lurking and waiting to rip her away from the new world she had created for herself -- even after nearly fifteen years free from the cult’s hold. 

Yet, she still had to remain professional around those around her. The number was quickly ignored, sent to voicemail, as she turned to the other. Hoping fear had not washed over her, remaining upon her face, Anita wanted to be all business. 

“Hi. Yeah, I’m sorry. It was just a telemarketer. Probably telling me my car’s extended warranty is out. I don’t think I caught your name.”

She tried really hard not to let her agitation show. “And you wanna tell me why you didn’t feel like sharing that important piece of information with the class? Could have saved me a lot of time.” If she knew she was tracking a spirit and not a physical being, she would have been done hours ago. “Is that the only thing you’ve been holding onto?”

“ I’ve been ‘drinking with my brain’ for months, I think I deserve at least one beer. “ Kai twists the cap off the bottle and holds it up pointedly before he brings it to his lips. The cold alcohol hitting his tongue was more than welcomed in this summer heat. Hopefully he’d be able to get a buzz and forget all about how he would have to return home in a week, back to face the inevitable judgement of his father. 

“ All that brain power for a degree in something that I’ll never use. College in a nutshell, I guess. “ The brunette settles down on a tree stump, holding the bottle of beer with both hands between his knees as he takes in their surroundings. It’s pretty peaceful out here, he could almost kick himself for not doing this sooner. Then again he was always more of an indoor type than the outdoor type, he’d most likely hit his wall of boredom in the next few hours.
