To love the Spiritspeaker (closed)

[Asa]

She will stay here... They are all so deeply bound to this place due to that vermin and the secrets he thought he could hide.

She glared at the house as she spoke. It will all come out in the final edit and when I sit down and share with the world things I saw but could not express.

 

[Naughty69M2M]

He shakes his head. Thinking of how beautiful she is and how much stronger she is than he ever suspected.

Then he is called back, "Hey loverboy, leave the Star alone and get your ass back to work. Crew meeting in 5 people, let's finish uup."

 

[Asa]

She barked back at them.

Be nice! There isn't a one of you that didn't have 100 question for me after your first day working with me.

She gestured for him to go on back and help especially after she felt a presence near her.

Hello Katia...

 

[Naughty69M2M]

Sheepishly, he rejoined the crew, but she was foremost on his mind. He risked glancing at her from time to time wondering if she even saw him as anything more that the new guy withndumb questions.

 

[Asa]

She listened as Katia and Lauren prattled on about the world outside the house and how they thought Eric liked her and "funny boxes".

As the evening wore on and everyone was all packed up she motioned Eric over.

Wanna ride with us?

 

[Naughty69M2M]

Eyes wide in surprise, he jumped at the chance, "Sure thing, Just let me..." She cut him off, telling him they would figure things out and she gave Chuck a wave and montioned with her hands. He nodded back.

Eric started to get in the front of the Escalade but a hand guided him to the back door. "WOw, thank you so much," was all he could manage.

 

[Asa]

She sat back eyes closed for a moment. The directors assistant seemed to be her driver looked back.

Give her a few minutes she is disconnecting herself from this place.

 

[Naughty69M2M]

Eric nodded but couldn't take his eyes off her. He fumbled to find the words he wanted to say. But the clever lines alluded him, again. So he stared like a puppy.

 

[Asa]

The assistant glanced over and in a lighthearted teasing tone.

Another love sick fan... And they work for you... Lucky.

 

[Naughty69M2M]

Eric, embarrassed, looks away. He smiles at the window, seeing her look at him.

I think she is wonderful yes. I was a lovesick fan but now....Now I want to learn. To see if i have the gift.

 

[Asa]

Even better if he has the gift he is back up to make you break away if you go too deep.

The assistant smiled

Yeah yeah but he will have to learn when going "too deep" as you call it is needed.

She sighed and looked over to Eric.

We can discuss it further over dinner.

 

[Naughty69M2M]

Dinner? I'm afraid I don't have much cash. I

He stops himself, seeing the amused looks.

I'm sorry, this is just a crazy dream I guess.

He tries a smile but he feels his cheeks burn.

 

[Asa]

It's alright I don't mind buying you dinner. It will give us a chance to discuss your suspicion of having the gift.

She smiled to him and Pat him on the arm.

 

[Naughty69M2M]

Eric thanked her and then listened to the assistant go over scheduling and numbers and all sorts of things over his head.

He didn't care, he was next to the most amazing woman and. Wei he didn't know the "and" yet. Never in his dreams did he really think dinner was possible. When the Assistant paused he simply said.

I hope I do have a gift. That it wasn't, well just one child locked on me.

 

[Asa]

She smiled with a soft laugh

Yes little Lauren was quite taken with him today. But also said he seemed to like me.

The assistant nodded

The one from the painting as I recall you said. Well at least they stayed away from the sound boards unlike at that ghost town school where they were absorbing enough energy to actually turn the dials on poor Charlie.

 

[Naughty69M2M]

It took him a few minutes to realize, she was still holding his hand. He listened to them talk, remembering the episode.

Wait, I just thought it was a broadcast or production glitch....

He shakes his head, feeling that shock again.

 

[Asa]

Oh no the children loved out sound tech and the board. They thought he was turning the dials to tickle them so they tried to tickle him too.

She smiled the assistant saw that she had not noticed she was still holding his hand either and winked at him.

 

[Naughty69M2M]

That is amazing and funny too. Never thought about the kids being from a much older time.

He looks and smiles back at the assistant.

I guess that explains the funny boxes too.

He sighs.

So much to learn. How could I have been so blind. I am so sorry that I was not a believer, well before today.

He finds her eyes and they share a look. Nothing spoken, but understood the all the same.

 

[Asa]

She just nodded to him as the assistant kept driving. Closing her eyes for a moment she then looked out the window as they were stopped at a red light staring at an old building her head tilted a little before dismissing whatever had her attention as they drove off.

Poor dears...

 

[Naughty69M2M]

Eric squeezes her hand, wondering her thoughts. Wondering too, just how long they had been holding hands. He leans over, smiles and says.

I feel like I'm in middle school and a parent is driving us on a date."

He looks forward, thankful that their driver seemed not to hear.

 

[Asa]

Realizing what was happening she withdrew her hand only to hear what sounded like Katia say no... Let someone in other than spirits.

She blinked and looked around a little slightly tense.

We did not leave the mansion alone.

 

[Naughty69M2M]

Is everything ok? Did I say something wrong.

Eric did not hear Katia but could clearly tell there was another soul with them.

Please, I.

He pauses.

The last thing I want is to make you upset.

His heart sinks, thinking he blew his chance doubting he will ever have another.

 

[Asa]

No... Shhh... it's not you... I... I think Katia is here with us.

She closed her eyes and sank into one of her trances to fully envelope herself in sensing who was there.

Katia saw the path... It was like a small room... To speak within the Spiritspeaker... But was it just to her she was not sure. She had seen Damon's possess people and the path looked similar but she felt she needed the Spirit speaker to hear her. So she moved towards the little "room"

~Blinking her eyes for a moment she spoke by it was not the body's speech patterns or ways.~

Why do you not allow anyone close? To not accept that another can care and accept what you do? The young man... He... Seems... To care and understand. An ally... Friend... more yes...the boy wishes to be more I think perhaps... You...

With that Katia felt herself thrown from the room the Spiritspeaker was strong even to them but there was pain to it... No... To what she said to her... She fear letting another in but why?

 

[Naughty69M2M]

Eric saw confusion on her face, like an unasked and non answered question that was beyond him. He looked around.

Looks like we are close, I see lights ahead.

He hoped giving space would help, but he felt his hand pulled to hers. He tried to fight it but knew better and let it happen.

 

[Asa]

The assistant had stopped the car and watched her.

Boss lady you ...

Yes I know Katia had some pretty direct words... It's... It's nothing.
