…Abby slipped back into the vision easily, more mentally prepared this time, the joy of perfect sight an extra special thrill to her now that she realized her real eyesight had been taken from her by the hand of the wicked man she now hunted. She had no idea if she could actually do what she was attempting but all of her life she’d been told how extraordinary her gift was and that it would continue to grow as she matured. Now was the time to stretch her wings and push her psychic powers to their limits. If the man in black was still around, she’d find him. She had a connection to him now, a mental tether clinging to his dark aura since he’d passed directly through her ethereal form earlier. All Abby had to do was follow her highly-tuned senses to lead her to him. Besides, she knew his filthy-sweet scent now and no matter where he tried to hide, she was confident she could follow.

Abby found her mind’s eye rising from the ground, drifting quickly away from the garbage dumpster at Walgreens and flying over the city streets of downtown Gainsville. Faster and faster her spirit flew, exiting the town limits and crossing fields and forests at an alarming rate. Roads and highways flashed by, rivers and streams, the rolling landscape of Pennsylvania blurring together until Abby had no idea where her senses were taking her or how far she traveled. She was just along for the ride.

Eventually she felt her ghost body slowing down and floating back down to the ground out front of an old, dilapidated church. Once it had been painted white, its shutters and roof a dark brown, but now many of the windows were cracked or broken, the roof shingles lost to the wind and its bright coat of paint cracked and withered in the hot sun of too many neglected years. Abby looked around but she was on the edge of a dense forest with only one dirt road leading away from the church to a desolate two lane road about half a mile away. No other buildings or homes were visible in any direction and there were no signposts or landmarks close by that might help her locate where she was.

This is his place, she thought, certain she was right. I’ve found him!”

Like the wraith she essentially was, Abby passed through the heavy oak doors of the run down church and floated down the center aisle of the garbage-strewn assembly hall. Inside, it smelled strongly of lavender and it only took a moment to realize why. Where the old pews had been, row after row of flowerboxes were lined up in the large room, every one of which was overflowing with wild lavender bushes. Abby followed her nose past the fragrant purple plants and forward through the wall behind the desecrated pulpit and found herself in a dark, candlelit room with no windows or electric lights. The sweet odor of honey assaulted her senses but Abby could find no source to account for it.
