Chapter Eight

THEY chowed down on pizza and Cokes, Will finally feeling full after six slices. Crazy, but he honestly hadn’t eaten all day, no matter how much time had passed for the guys. Sure he’d had snacks, but that didn’t count as eating, not really. Again, it had been eight to ten hours. That was a long time without anything substantive. And who knew what the time warp did to one’s body.

He wasn’t going to consider how freaky the whole twenty minutes versus a whole lot of hours deal was. Ghosts were one thing, time moving differently in one room from the rest of the world was quite another. He didn’t like to think about it too hard, or about that beady black eye he’d seen, though he supposed he would have to say something when they started talking shop.

On the bright side, it seemed the attraction he and Payne felt was real and not because of the house. Maybe the desperation to their first kisses had been house induced, but the chemistry seemed to be all theirs.

He and Payne were squished together in the easy chair, Payne half in his lap. Neither of them were complaining about lack of space, and Jason had stopped with the weird accusations regarding their relationship. Seemed that might have been house induced as well. Payne was dozing, heavy against him, one hand sliding and drawing shapes on his thigh.

“I don’t think he’s gotten much sleep.” Will was feeling very protective. “Maybe we can let him get some zzz’s for a bit.”

“I can only imagine how exhausting all this is. Seriously.” Jason shook his head, the look sympathetic.

“He’s been doing it all on his own for so long. And we’ve all felt what it’s like there.” It was crazy. “I think this is the first malevolent haunting we’ve done. At least of this magnitude.” He needed to tell them about the eye. He needed to. It was freaky and a little unbelievable, though, so he really didn’t want to.

“Yeah. It’s a little… unnerving really.” Blaine shook his head. “Really.”

“Yeah. Yeah, it affected me hard right from the start, didn’t it?” He opened his mouth to keep going, to tell them about the eye. Then he closed his mouth again. God, why was this so hard? He wasn’t a wuss. He wasn’t a scaredy-cat. Hell, how many haunted places had he been in? Tons. He’d been able to tell Payne. Payne had believed him.

“What is it?” Jason asked.

He wasn’t sure how Jason had known.

“I can read it in your face you’ve got something to tell us. Come on, we’ve known each other forever. Spill.”

He cleared his throat. Three times. It felt like there was something in there, blocking his ability to speak. He growled. This was crazy. The house was over an hour’s drive away. Everyone here was family, aside from Payne, who he was hoping was headed in that direction.

He laid it out there as simply as possible. No theories, no feelings, just the facts.
