CHAPTER 8

We returned to the bedroom I shared with Cecilia and found her seated in a chair by the small table. The 'patient' on the bed was awake and in a seated position atop the covers. His back leaned against the headboard, and he sat very still. That didn't stop a shaky smile from slipping onto his pale lips.

"I suppose I owe you guys some thanks," he hoarsely whispered.

Ian grabbed the spare chair from the table, turned the back towards the bed, and took his seat with his legs straddled around the back. "We'd rather have an explanation. What happened to you, and where are your Phantoms?"

Sebastian shrugged, and the effort made him wince. "I don't know the answer to either of those questions."

Ian raised an eyebrow. "Then what do you know?"

"I know I walked into one of the rooms with my Phantoms in front of me, and suddenly the whole place was pitch black," he told us. He pursed his lips and his eyes narrowed on Ian. "Then I felt a pair of hands with sharp claws rip and tear at me. The next thing I knew I was here." Sebastian studied Ian with pursed lips. "You wouldn't happen to know what happened to me, would you?"

Ian snorted. "No, and if I would've attacked you I wouldn't have kept you alive to have this conversation."

Sebastian smiled and sank against the headboard. "Just thought I'd ask, though I'm a little curious to know what happened to my Phantoms."

"I sense they're in the house, but I can't tell where. There's too much spiritual interference," Cecilia spoke up.

"We might have found out why there's so much," Ian commented as he turned his attention, and his chair to her and the rest of us. "It seems somebody had fun with a hatchet a century and a half ago, and there's a bunch of body parts throughout the house."

Cecilia frowned. "That would explain why I sense the same weak spirit in several parts of the house."

I raised my hand. "How does that explain it?" I asked them.

"A weak spirit is trapped to their earthly remains," Cecilia explained. "If the body is dismembered and the parts are separated then a weak spirit can be in multiple places at once."

The room where we were attacked. Can you sense the spirits there any more?" Ian inquired.

She shut her eyes, and after a moment shook her head. "No."

Ian straightened in his backward chair and smiled. "Good. That means if we find all the parts then we won't have any more people pushed into closets-"

"-and maybe even bring out old Black," Quinn finished.

"How would that bring him out?" I spoke up.

Ian lit a cigarette and stuck it in the corner of his mouth. "If Black is the guy who murdered those people, which isn't a sure thing, then he'll be pretty mad at our finding their bodies and neutralizing his victims."

"But how does finding their body parts neutralize them?" I persisted.

He took a puff on his cigarette and blew out the smoke.
