Rise Above
Scarlett told me once when someone died they were judged of course. You had two options Heaven or Hell. I wasn't sure what to think when she first told me that but now I was totally confused. How was that possible when Brittany and the other three jocks who we saw die were standing right before us ready to kill us now.
Brittany then comes at me again and I feel a burst of energy go through my body as I block her and throw her to the side of the room. Right before my eyes though her body just disappears. Of course this is all a big game. Whoever the collector is wants us to run in fear but we can't we have to rise above it. I look back to the guys and see one of the jocks throw Lee back against a wall. Right as he goes to grab him though I grab his arm.
"Why don't ya pick on someone else?" I hear myself say but not in my voice. This was Scarlett! She was taking over for me. I didn't mind honestly I mean Scarlett was from the old west she probably knew how to take down idiots like jocks.
Scarlett uses my body and takes the jock by his neck and throws him into the same wall that I threw Brittany into. Just like Brittany though the jocks body disappeared before it even hit the wall. This was only the first obstacle. Lee looked at me confused and frozen at the same time.
"Get off your ass would ya? I ain't pickin ya up." Scarlett tells him through my body.
"What in the hell happened to you Anne?" Lee asks.
"I'm not Anne, I'm her guardian. Name's Scarlett and not that I don't like to chat and all but I think the other two need my help as well." Scarlett replies as she walks past him and grabs the jock about to attack Jack.
"Scarlett, long time no see." Jack says with a smile.
"You too Brit, now if you'll excuse me." Scarlett says as she once again throw the jock back and just like the others before him disappeared into a wall.
"Any idea what the hell is going on here?" Jack asks her.
"Not a clue, be right back." Scarlett tells him as she goes to Tyler last but just in time he grabs the jock and throws him into the same wall once again the jock disappears though.
"Thanks but I got him." Tyler says.
Lee walks up to us just plain confused. Jack and Tyler and I can tell this very easy actually. I guess that someone had better explain what happened before he does go crazy.
"How is this possible?'' Lee asks.
"Which part? The me taking over Anne's body or the whole house of the undead thing?" Scarlett asks.
"Both but lets start with you taking over her body. How?" Lee asks as he circles me.
"Well that's easy, I am Anne just from a different life. When she was born I was assigned to protect her and now here I am. I can sense when she is weak and that is when I come in and take over for her." Scarlett explains to Lee who looks at us like we are crazy.
"What about the whole undead thing? I mean we saw them die how are they still you know alive?" Tyler asks.
"They aren't alive, think of them as puppets and the soul collector he is their master. No doubt he is trying to find your weakness right now." Scarlett says as I feel her leave my body and she manifests herself right before us.
Wow Scarlett did look just like me only in old southern clothes. Her long strawberry blonde hair went behind her back she stood tall and strong, to be honest I can't believe I was like her at one time. Lee, Jack and Tyler look between the both of us.
"Wow, that's new. I have never seen Scarlett before." Jack says still focusing on us.
"Cause I didn't want ya to. Pretty easy actually but you all had better get out of this tunnel. I can sense more puppets coming." Scarlett says as she disappears in a wisp.
"Any other powers you want to tell us about?" Lee asks me.
"I can sorta talk to the dead, Scarlett usually keep me away from the evil ones but now thanks to you I know that won't happen here." I say as we start to walk forward again.
"Anne watch out!" I hear Scarlett yell at me but it was too late a darkness came out of nowhere and grabbed me, I tried to grab out for any of the guys as they tried to fling themselves at me but nothing would help me now.
"ANNE!" I hear all three of the guys call out as my vision went black.
Jack's POV
We couldn't stop whatever the hell that thing was, it just grabbed her. I couldn't even tell what it was just dark black smoke almost and then once it had her it disappeared. All of tried to grab her and even threw ourselves at her. I saw as her eyes closed and I didn't know how I could help her or where the hell that thing would take her.
"What the fuck was that?!" Tyler asks.
"I have no idea, how was it able to take her away? It didn't even have a true form!" Lee says looking around.
"You don't have to have a form to take someone teach, now she better pray that Katie and Marissa will be able to find her. I pray they do, still I know you will want to go after her as well. Jack you know Anne better than anyone else you are going to have to bring her out of whatever tricks they might play on her." Scarlett says as she appears again this time no longer in the western attire but in a long white gown.
"What tricks? I don't understand what you mean?" I ask her confused as hell.
"You will know when you see, Tyler you know more about the paranormal than you should you will know how to fight back against what is now holding her captive. Lee besides the fact that you practically sent her to her death she needs you as well, while Tyler and Jack are busy fighting the evil off you will have to stay with her and make sure no harm comes to her body." Scarlett tells them. "Prepare for a war gentleman for this is going to be hell."
Scarlett starts to walk down the hall beckoning for us to follow her. We all follow her as she leads us out of the tunnel and onto the stairs that take us up to what appears to be a large dinning room of some sort.
"Demons hide deep within this place, they would not allow me to enter before but now they have no choice." Scarlett says as she walks forward.
"What do you mean?" Lee asks her.
"Angels don't like when their kind is taken." Scarlett says as she barely turns around and looks at us. "Anne isn't normal for a reason, she was brought to each of you for a purpose. Now you must fight for her as she would for you."
I had no idea what she was talking about but I knew I would be more than willing to do anything for Anne. I loved her and I wouldn't just let her die here. I looked over to Tyler and saw he was more than determined to get her back as well. Lee focused on Scarlett as she spoke to us. I wondered if he would really stick around and help her or freak out like the true coward he was.
