The Ghost Hunters and The Familiar Strangers

Chloe was busy getting the direction of the uncompleted building from Adam when a grunt came from Evan. "Are you okay?". She asked Evan.Nôvel(D)ra/ma.Org exclusive © material.

He ignored the pain. "I've fine. I've you gotten the direction?". He asked. She nodded and explained the details to him.

Evan wasn't concentrating, his mind was wandering somewhere else. He had no idea why he was feeling a sharp pain on the right side of his stomach. It was like someone was piercing a sharp object on him. "Evan, did you hear what I just said?". She asked.

Snapping out of his thoughts, Evan looked at her. "Laura is in trouble... I can feel it".

"Laura?". She asked. "If she was in trouble they would have told us about it".

"Reed would keep that a secret to make sure I don't make wrong decisions. We have to go".

Chloe held his hand back as he was about to leave. "Calm down Evan! if Reed is keeping this a secret then it's because he wants you to have enough time to come up with a plan that would save everyone and not endanger their lives". Evan knew he was right. "Fine but we need all hands on deck. We need Laura's father on this".

"I'll go over with Bianca and Jim". Chloe said as she left with the other two people.

Catherine decided to visit her ex-husband, this time she wouldn't leave without him. She knocked on the door and Martina came to open the door.

"What do you want woman?". Martina asked only for her to be pushed to the ground.

"Oops! My bad". Catherine said sarcastically.

"What are you doing here Catherine?". Jones asked.

"I'm here to get you and I won't take no for an answer". She said as she walked closer to him touching his chest and moving her fingers in circles.

Jones pulled her hand away. "Get out of my house!". He yelled.

"Why? because of her?". She asked as she used her vampire speed to go around Martina strangling her neck.

"You're a vampire now?". Jones asked in disbelief.

"All thanks to you sweetheart". She said as she threw Martina on the kitchen counter making her scatter the things on the kitchen counter.

"Stop it, Catherine". Jones said as he tried to stop her but she grew claws and fangs and was ready to attack him if he comes any closer Jones wouldn't allow him to hurt his wife, not after all the pain she has caused his family. "Lay your hand on my wife and you won't like what I'll do to you". Jones opened his mouth and his fangs came out, his fingers grew into claws and his eyes turned green.

"Stop me!". Catherine said as she rushed to pull Martina, grabbing a knife on the ground in the process as she pulled the woman up with the knife pointed at her chest. "Come with me or you lose your wife". She threatened.

"I won't come with, you Catherine". Jones said.

"We'll see about that". Catherine said as she took the knife and was about to pierce his wife's chest when Jones laughed at her making her drop Martina on the floor who hit her head on the kitchen counter.

Catherine and Jones struggled with each other as they used their claws to injure each other. "Martina run!!!". Jones yelled but the woman didn't move an inch. "Martina!". He called again but there was no response. He stopped his wrestling with Catherine who ran out of the house in a flash.

Jones went to meet his wife as he placed her head in his hands. "Martina". He called but she didn't respond. The moment he removed his hand from her head, he saw blood. That was when he knew she had hit her head. "Jones". He heard a voice called Chloe, Bianca, and Jim went to meet him. "What happened? Chloe asked.

"Is she still alive? Tell me she is please". Jones said as he tried to wake up his wife but she wasn't responding.

Chloe checked her pulse and her heartbeat and they were beating very slowly. She didn't have much time left. "Jones....". Martina called softly.

"Sweetheart". He called as he touched her face. "I'll save you". The moment he wanted to bite her, she shook her head.

"I don't want it". she said.

"But this is the only way I can save you". Jones pleaded with her to let him do it but she refused.

"If you want to..." she paused trying to find the strength to say what she needed to. "... save me and save us... go out there and destroy those vampires not create more." She said.

"But I can't... I can't let you die".

"Laura and Ashley need you... please...... Go and save them and...". She coughed out blood. "... tell them I love them so......". She looked at him one last time as her eyes closed and her heartbeat stopped.

Jones yelled. "We are sorry but like your wife, we need you. Laura and Ashley are in trouble and we need all the help we can get". Chloe said as Jones kissed his wife's forehead.

"I lost my wife.... I won't lose my daughters". He got up and told them to lead the way as he followed after them.

Jones arrived with Bianca, Chloe, and Jim as Evan stood with the rest of the team.

"It's obvious the vampires we are dealing with are the same as the one we killed last time". Evan said.

"But how is that possible?". Chloe asked. "We destroyed every one of them in that building".

"We thought we did". Evan said as he handed them a photo of Silver. "In that building, we destroyed everyone except him because he wasn't in the building". He explained. "He escaped and he is the one responsible for the missing people in Massachusetts and the transformation of some people into vampires".

"But why is he doing that?". Alex asked.

"For one thing...". Evan looked at them. "Revenge".

"So he captured Emerald? How did he know her if he wasn't there?".

"He might have hidden somewhere and left after the show was over which means...."

"He knows every one of us". Chloe finished the sentence.

"One more thing is, I don't think he works alone. There is someone he's working for... someone who wants to destroy Jones' family". He said as he looked at Jones.

"I know the person he's working For". Jones said as he tried to hold back his tears.

"Good! We will set off at midnight. So till then, you all should get some rest. This might be a journey we will go on and never return. Hope you are ready?". He asked them. "We are!". They replied as they went to prepare themselves.
