Chapter 27

Zane chewed on a fingernail, his nerves nearly getting the best of him. Clara had been at the house for less than ten minutes, and he was already getting a creeped out feeling in his gut. The ghost stuff freaked him out, and he just wanted Clara out. She had been officially moved out for a week, and he was glad. He liked the kid well enough, but something about her set him on edge.

Clara, for her part, was ignoring Zane. He and Kerri sat in the front room of the large, somewhat rundown Victorian, allowing her to wander through all the rooms and floors at will. She was trying to get a feel for the place, and much like Alex Estrata’s place, allowing herself to be led by the energy. The house had a heavy feel to it that she didn’t remember feeling before.

When she’d arrived, she’d asked Kerri in depth about what had been happening – if anything – over the past week. Nothing quite as traumatic as the night she’d been in the shower, Kerri said, but she also felt the heaviness in the air, and Zane seemed to be even more moody than usual. Things continued to disappear or move, seemingly of their own accord.

As Clara made her way through the house, she couldn’t shake the feeling that whatever was in the house didn’t originate there. It didn’t feel as if it were someone who used to live in the house, or even on the land, as it had been in her English teacher’s house.

She needs help…

Clara stopped, her hand on the banister about to make her way downstairs from the second floor. She looked around, expecting to see her grandmother standing behind her.

She followed you…

“Who is she?” Clara asked softly, eyes scanning the hall and opened doorways around her. She very much felt as though she were being watched. Though she didn’t feel she was in danger, or the source had any sort of malicious intent, but she felt uneasy, all the same.

Susannah…

Clara heard the name as clear as if someone three feet away had said it, and it wasn’t the voice of her grandmother. She turned away from the stairs, deciding to stay on the second floor, as that’s where she felt Susannah’s presence.

“Are you stuck here, Susannah?” Clara asked conversationally, walking toward Kerri and Zane’s bedroom, eyes ever on the lookout. “Do you need my help?” She heard nothing. “Susannah? Are you here? I can’t help you if you won’t help me.”

the bedroom was empty, as Clara expected, and the energy wasn’t as heavy. She left it, heading into one of the two guest bedrooms. She found herself drawn to the one that was piled with boxes and old, unused furniture. It had effectively been turned into a storage space since the attic had been in use by her.

“Wow,” she whispered, almost able to feel the air clinging to her skin. Her solar plexus was wide open, excepting the energy in such large quantities that it was making Clara feel nauseous.
