EP.113|The Ghost Of A Sister

Freddie woke up days later, her wounds wrapped and being changed.

“You’re awake.” Acadia smiled softly. “Mom?” Freddie sat up slowly, she groaned, everything in her body hurt.

“Lay down,” Acadia said as Freddie laid back down. “What happened? Last thing I remember was yelling at some shadows.” Freddie asked.

“You don't remember using the Kagechikara?” Facilier questioned, Freddie shook her head.

“I just got super angry and I felt something inside of me was telling me to just let out all my rage.”

Freddie looked down at her hands, she felt like something inside of her unlocked. “Do you feel any different?” Facilier Sr. asked.

“A little, I mean, I can hear them now.” Freddie said. “Hear what?” Alex asked.

“The shadows and souls. I can hear them talking, they know something about the next whereabouts of the grail but Lucifer scared them into telling me nothing.”

“Can you summon one of them?” Ben asked as Freddie shrugged and sat in the lotus position. Her eyes grew fully a lavender color, so did the medallion.

Soon, from the floor emerged a spirit, that of a child.

She had on a yellow sundress and had light skin with white hair and black eyes.

“Hello, my name is Ranee.” the boy VK’s gasped. “Ranee, as in Ranee DeVille?” Zeref questioned as Ranee nodded.

“I need to warn you about Carlos. But, I need my body. In this form, Lucifer’s has put a bound on my soul form to where I can't talk about the grail.” Ranee said.

“Your body’s in the Villian Isles though.” Hunter stated.

“I know, we need to get it though. Carlos is in serious danger, but I can’t reach him. Please, your his only hope.” Ranne pleaded.

“Alright, we’ll get your body, we’ll leave first thing in the morning.” Ben announced as the VK’s all nodded, going to bed.

“Well, isn't that just swell? Your friends are looking for you.” Carlos had chains wrapped around him as he was being suspended from the ceiling.

“Shit, why are they coming.” Carlos muttered.

“You won't get away with this, Ph-” “Pan. My name is Pan.” “No it’s Phi-” “PAN!” “FINE!”

“I swear! If you, or your men, lay a hand on CJ or my friends I slit your throat!” Carlos vowed. “No you won't.” Pan snickered.

“Oh really? Why’s that?” Carlos raised his eyebrow. Pan then whispered something in his ear, making Carlos eyes widen in fear.

“You bitch!” Carlos started moving, still in the chains grasp.

“Yep, so, now knowing what you know, do you really wanna kill me?” Carlos just growled and tried to lunge for him but the chains restricted him.

“This entire operation is going down in flames, and you’re gonna have a front row seat.”

CJ laid in bed late that night, she was freezing, she wanted the warmth of her animalistic again.

She grabbed the blanket and wrapped it around her. It’s warm...but not warm enough. He’s hotter, warmer. CJ shivered.

CJ felt the mark on her neck, she growled, she didn’t want it.

She wanted Carlos’s mark. She wanted to show that she was Carlos’s and Carlos’s only.

She got up, wrapping the blankets around her, and walked to Operetta and Hunter’s room, knocking on the door. Operetta opened the door, rubbing her eyes.

“Hey, CJ” a yawn interrupted her “what’s up?” Operetta raked back her hair.

“I’m freezing, being without Carlos sucks! I have six blankets on and a sweater and I’m still cold!” CJ shivered, Operetta just chuckled.

“It’s called mate withdrawal, your body is reacting to being away from your mate, that’s why your body is cold.”

“Since your body was so used to Carlos’s heat, when Carlos left all of a sudden your body went cold turkey.”

“What do I do to make the cold stop?” CJ’s shivering continued.

“Hey babe, what did you do to make the cold stop when I got caught by Milton?” Operetta asked.

“Distracted myself, I got body heat by hitting a tree.” Hunter mumbled.

“Something use-” “Thank, Hunter!” CJ called out, grabbing her sword as she walked out to the backyard.

“You know, she’s gonna be up all night because of you.” Operetta chuckled.

“Shh, demon goes sleepy bye…” Hunter nuzzled his face between Operetta’s chest.

“Please don't leave me Operetta, I’ve noticed you’ve been avoiding me lately, but I’ll never be able to live if you leave me.” Hunter muttered.

“Honey, I won't leave you.” Operetta stroked Hunter’s hair.

“You promise?” Hunter looked up at her. “Promise?” Hunter asked as Operetta kissed him. “Promise, plus, after all this is done. I’ll tell you.”

CJ kept slashing and cutting the tree. She was angry, pissed even, she needed her animalistic.

Even if it meant killing someone to get him back.

“Um, are you CJ?” Ranee asked. “Yeah why?” CJ asked.

“Carlos wants me to tell you not to worry about him. And not to save him, he doesn't need you to get caught in his problems.”

“Oh…” CJ clutched her sword. “But, I’m not listening to him, I know when my brother is lying, he needs you to save him.” Ranee said.

“Let’s go save my mate.” CJ smirked.

Evie at the bar scribbling data on the weekly updates she’s been sending Giles about finding the grail.

“How long are you gonna stay up this time?” Jasper asked, walking up behind Evie.

“As long as I need to. Just leave me alone, Jasper.”

Jasper hovered over her, his arms aside her, caging her in “i need to go through all the data if we want this mission to go smoothly.”

“This is my job now, remember? Everyone is depending on me for this.” Evie sighed, Jasper lowered his face to her ear

“lister, either you go to bed on your own…” Jasper’s hand’s roamed her chest “...or I’ll do it myself and I won't let you go till you fall asleep.”

Evie’s face turned red, she pushed Jasper’s face away “pl-please don't tease me like that, I’m not in the mood…”

“Don't you get it? If I slack off, people could die! You..the VK’s...everyone! I want to avoid that at all cost.” both Evie and Jasper stood quiet for a moment before Jasper spinned Evie’s chair around.

“J-Jasper?!” “You asked for it, Blueberry.” Jasper smirked devilishly, she knew what this meant.

Oh no… Evie shivered a bit, mostly in excitement and a little fear.

Jasper picked her up and slinged her over his shoulder “W-Wait! What if someone sees us like this? Aren’t you worried?!”

“I don't give a fuck. I’m bringing you to bead with me and that’s it.” Jasper declared. “Okay, okay!! J-Just put me down and I’ll walk with you!” Evie stammered.

“Gihi. No way. I’m loving the view from here.” Jasper slapped Evie’s butt. “D-Don't slap my butt!” Evie blushed hard.

Later that night, Evie slept next to Jasper after the finished, doing adult stuff, let’s just say that night Jasper wasn’t letting Evie going anywhere. She turned towards Jasper and smiled.

I love you Jasper. I always will.
