I'll Fight For You

Vic's P.O.V.

Something is wrong with Hannah. I don't know what it is, she's just different. When we were in the tomb I watched her. I've never seen her like that before. It was like I didn't even know her. I watched her squeezing all the air out of my brother. But that wasn't what bothered me. What bothered me was knowing I might not be able to get her back.
I still love her. I would follow her anywhere. But there's something wrong. When we took her to the hospital to get her wrists taken care of she didn't say anything. We had to go through questioning to make sure she was safe. Then on the way home she ignored me. She's never ignored me since the day we met.
I was at Jess's. We'd all eaten dinner. But Hannah had already gone downstairs. I walked over to the basement door and just stood there for a while. Jaime walked over and stood next to me. I sighed and looked down. "You okay, man?" Jaime asked.
"Yeah, you know." I shrugged.
"Did you and Han' have a good time last night?" he asked.
"Not really," I shook my head. "She didn't even look at me for the first two hours."
"That sucks," Jaime said. "But she went through a lot. You didn't see her before she left, and then what happened in the tomb."
"Yeah, but she'd still be happy with me," I muttered. "I don't know, maybe I'm looking too much into it." I shrugged.
Then we heard a scream. I opened the door and rushed down. I saw Hannah in a ball on the floor and went to her. I wrapped my arms around her warmly. I kissed her cheek gently. "What happened?" I asked carefully.
"A ghost," she gasped. "With blonde hair and bleeding wrists."
"Lauren," I frowned. "You mean Lauren?"
"Whatever." she shrugged. She looked at me suddenly and scrunched her face up. She stood up and straightened herself. I shook my head a little and sat on the bed. The others were down now as well.
"How you feeling?" Jess asked Hannah.
"Fantastic," she beamed back. Everyone watched her as she walked over to me. She set herself down in my lap and pulled me close to her. I held her waist lightly and closed my eyes. We never have time to do this. We never do this in public either, but I miss touching her. "Do you love me?" she asked.
"Of course I do." I replied.
She wrapped her arms around my neck and started kissing me. She forced her tongue into my mouth. I pulled away a little and heard her laugh quietly. Hannah started kissing my neck. She wasn't just kissing though, she was biting and sucking. I knew everyone was just watching. Her hand snuck in between us and I felt it slip inside my pants. She trailed her finger along the waist band of my boxers before her hand went inside and found me. Then she squeezed.
"Hannah!" I rushed awkwardly.
"Shh . . ." she cooed. "Don't you want it?" I didn't say anything as her hand started moving. "Just because I can't get off doesn't mean you have to stay celibate." her words were tickling my neck. I sighed and pushed her away. She fell down onto the floor and glared back at me.
"Han'." I sighed.
"Forget it," she spat. Hannah walked across the room and stopped in front of Mike. He looked anxiously down on her. "Mikey." she said smoothly. I could hear every word she was saying.
"I think you should lie down." Mike tried.
"I don't want to," she frowned. "I like standing here with you."
"You need to rest."
"Don't you like me?" she pouted. Mike shifted uncomfortably. "Do I not get you excited?"
"Han', stop."
"You get me excited," she purred. "You're getting me excited now. I bet you're better," she said, looking back at me. "You're bigger than him. You get me all hot and bothered. I've been thinking about you . . . at night. Fuck, I want you," the words rolled off of her tongue. Her tone was like butter. Her fingers brushed over his chest. Before her hand cupped his crotch. "Are you hot?" she asked.
I couldn't take it anymore. I stood up. But before I reached her Mike pushed her away. She glared back at him and her hand went to his throat. She lifted him up in the air while Mike coughed and spluttered for air. Jess grabbed her by the hair and pulled her away. Hannah fell down and I stared at her.
"You okay?" I asked Mike.
"Yeah," he gasped. "I didn't want her to. I swear."
"I know." I nodded.
"I think we should tie her up." Tony sighed. I nodded briefly and Tony picked her up. I watched as she was laid down on the bed and her wrists and ankles tied to the bed. Jaime sighed and kissed her forehead gently before she tried to lash out.
"Vic, don't you love me?" Hannah asked sweetly.
"No," I shook my head. "I love Hannah. You're not her." I said through gritted teeth.

This is my last chance. It isn't Hannah that's inside there. I don't know where she is, but I need to find her. If she isn't in her body, she's somewhere else. Her soul is waiting for me. We were sitting in the basement. Hannah was still tied to the bed. Jess switched the lights off before she went about lighting candles. She joined us on the floor where we were all sat, around a ouija board.
Jess sighed heavily and wiped the board down. She sprinkled some water around us and settled herself. "What's that?" Tony asked.
"Salt water," she explained. "You do it for every use."
"So you've done this before?" I asked.
"After Aidan died. . . I don't know. I just wanted to make sure he was okay." Jess said.
"So what do we do?" Jaime asked.
"Relax," she breathed. "Just close your eyes and picture a light inside you. Then it projecting out and surrounding the room."
"The usual." Jaime muttered.
I closed my eyes and did as she said. A white light was inside me. It started coming out of me and spreading around the room. I opened my eyes and saw everyone was waiting for me. Then we looked at Jess. She let out a nervous breath.
"Hermanubis, Keeper of The Gate, Lord of Hidden Road Between Life and Death, I call on you!" Jess exclaimed. "Hermanubis, I summon you. A follower of the Old Ways calls out to you. Open the gate between the Realm of the Living and the Realm of the Dead for I would traffick with the Departed.” she finished.
I swallowed hard and rubbed my hands together. Jess flexed her neck and looked around the room.
"Tony, can you write?" she asked.
"Yeah." he nodded and got himself a pen and paper.
“I call upon the soul of Hannah Preciado! If you would speak to us this night then be with us now in this sacred space. Indicate your presence and readiness by moving the glass to ‘yes’.” Jess called. "Finger on the glass." she urged.
We all placed one finger on the shot glass that was set on the board. I sat there for a while with nothing happening.
"So?" Mike asked. Then the glass moved. It went to 'yes'. I gasped and saw Tony with his pen poised on the paper.
"Shit." Mike mumbled.
"Are you Hannah Preciado?" Jess asked. The glass went around the board before it settled on yes again.
"Are you okay?" I rushed. The glass went back to yes. "I love you." I told her. The glass started moving. First it went to I. It went around the board and next it went to L. Before it moved again and again.
"I love you too." Tony read out.
"Where are you?" I asked. The glass moved.
"With you." Tony said.
"Are you dead?" Jaime asked and the glass went to 'no'. I sighed in relief.
"Why aren't you in your body?" Mike asked.
"I was pushed out." Tony read.
"Can we send them away? Can I get you back?" I asked desperately. It went to 'yes'.
"How?" Jess asked.
"Banish." Tony said.
"Can I do it?" I asked. "I want you back," it went to 'no'.
"Only me." Tony said.
"Can you use your body?" Jaime asked. It settled on 'no'.
We were all looking at one another uncomfortably. "Use mine." I said.
"It could kill you." Tony read.
"I don't care," I sighed. "I'm yours."
"Vic." Mike tried.
"No!" I snapped.
"When?" Jaime asked quietly. The glass went to the number 1 and then 2. "Tonight?" Jaime asked and it went to 'yes'.
"Do you know how?" I asked Jess.
"I can know. There's a book here." she replied.
"I love you so much, baby. I'm not letting you go." I said desperately. I needed her. The glass moved again and again.
Until Tony read out, "Until the church, darling."
