I'll Fight For You

The whispers in the cemetery have stopped. Before I couldn't understand them, there were hundreds of voices talking all at once. But now I could make sense of it all. They're just telling their stories. They're telling them over and over again. That's all they have left. Some don't even have any people coming to visit their resting places. Before I thought they were asking for help, but I'm wrong. They were asking for someone to listen.
Everyone got considerably louder when people walked through the gate. I could see them walking towards the doors of the church. They actually came for me. Vic had his eyes set on the door. He looked so afraid though. I just wanted to take it all away. Jaime and Jess were behind him with their hands entwined. Mike was rushing ahead to get to Vic and Tony was carrying me. Or at least my body.
They walked into the church and I looked to my side. Lauren was standing there with her arms folded. She dropped them and took my hand. I sighed and smiled gently. She returned it and squeezed my hand.
"Can I take you with me?" I asked.
"No," she shook her head. "They'll be summoning you."
"If it works. . . I'm going to give you peace. I'll let you pass over."
"Don't make promises," she chuckled. "I'll be seeing you soon, anyway."
"I guess so," I shrugged. "Whatever happens."
I felt something pressing against me. I could feel heat all around me. Then I was being pulled downwards. I was being pulled further and further down until I saw a bright light. I dropped down onto the floor. I stood up and looked around. I was standing in the church. They were sat in a circle with candles lit and me standing in the centre of them. Laid down on the floor a short distance away was my body, which was struggling against the ties on my wrists and ankles.
"Hannah! If you're here please send us a sign!" Jess said clearly and loudly.
I turned to Vic and bent down. I leant in and kissed him gently on the lips. Vic gasped and brought his fingers up to his lips. He touched them and frowned.
"What's wrong?" Mike asked.
"She's here." he swallowed hard.
"How do you know?" Jess asked.
"She kissed me." he muttered.
"Go on," Jess urged. I saw Vic stand up and move to the side. He wasn't too far from my body now. Jess walked around him, leaving a trail of salt. "Are you ready?" she asked Vic reluctantly.
"Okay, okay'," Vic breathed. "I'm ready." he nodded.
"You need to open up. Close your eyes and relax. Then you say her name over and over again. It'll distance you from everything and make it easier for her." Jess explained.
"Okay," he sighed. "Hannah. Hannah. Hannah. Hannah. Hannah." he repeated over and over again. Vic didn't stop, he just kept on saying my name.
I got ready. I didn't have a choice. I had to do this. I pictured Vic in my mind and then myself joining him. My form was gone, there was only Vic. I stood in front of him. Then I was pulled forward. It was my own doing this time. I rushed at Vic. Then I carried on, disappearing into his chest. I was gone.
I felt myself fall down onto the floor. I looked around and saw people watching me. My legs were weak but I managed to stand. I sighed heavily and ran my fingers through my hair. But it wasn't my hair, or my fingers. They were Vic's. It had worked. I was inside him. I had complete control. I moved my arm and saw Vic's arm.
"Vic?" Mike asked.
Then I felt it. The power. It was unbelievable. I didn't realise it was possible to feel this much power. I was strong and I had complete belief in this. I could do anything, accomplish anything. I looked over to my body and sneered. They are nothing. They are nothing compared to how I feel right now.
I stepped out of the circle and the others stood up. They watched me carefully. I smiled lightly and saw Jaime watch carefully. I looked at Vic's wrists. Nothing ever did happen to him. He felt what I did. He was fine.
"Han'?" Jaime asked.
"Yes." I said and faced him.
"It's really you?" he asked disbelievingly.
"Yeah, Hime." I replied.
Jaime came over to me and hugged me. I smiled into his shoulder and pulled away. I saw them stand anxiously by the pews. They didn't know if it was safe. I didn't myself know if what I was about to do was safe.
"Whatever happens don't stop it. Even if we're dying. Don't try to stop it." I said suddenly.
"But-" Mike tried.
"No," I snapped. "And Jaime, I'm not worth you dying over." I added.
I turned to face my body and inhaled deeply. I stood and flexed my neck. Then I stretched out my arms. I picked up a coal briquette from the floor and held it ready in my hand. I readied myself and stretched.
"I call on God!" I exclaimed loudly. "I beg for your power and strength to free my human body!" I said. "Free my body!" I said through gritted teeth. "I banish you from this body, this space and this realm. Return from whence you came and trouble the Living no more!" I yelled strongly.
I smothered the coal in incense and used a candle to light it. It started smoking with a vile smell emitting from it. I watched my body writher and squirm on the floor.
"I banish you from this body, this space and this realm. Return from whence you came and trouble the Living no more!" I repeated.
I stepped closer to my body and waved my arm over it. It's mouth opened and closed and I saw a look of great pain take over the face.
"I banish you from this body, this space and this realm. Return from whence you came and trouble the Living no more!" I said once more.
That's when I saw it. The demon left through the mouth. It shot up in the air and came to stand twice my height in front of me. It sneered down at me and I glared back. The only thing reassuring me was that it looked to be in intense pain. It was ugly, completely covered in leathery black skin. The eyes were fire red. I waved the coal in front of them and held the crucifix around Vic's neck in my other hand.
"I banish you from this body, this space and this realm. Return from whence you came and trouble the Living no more!" I spat up at it.
"O my Jesus, forgive us our sins," I heard. I looked and saw both Jess and Tony on their knees. They had their heads down in prayer. Mike and Jaime were stood paralysed just watching. It was then I realised that it wasn't just me. Everyone could see the thing in front of me. "save us from the fires of hell and lead all souls to Heaven, especially those who are most in need of Thy mercy." They said. "O my Jesus, forgive us our sins, save us form the fires of hell and lead all souls to Heaven, especially those who are most in need of Thy mercy." They repeated it and said it once more.
"I banish you from this body, this space and this realm. Return from whence you came and trouble the Living no more!" I called once more.
The demon clenched it's teeth. It started to shrink until finally it was my height. I looked it in the eye, forcing the coal by it's neck.
"I banish you from this body, this space and this realm. Return from whence you came and trouble the Living no more!" I spat.
Then something dragged the demon down. It disappeared further and further down until we couldn't see it any longer. It was gone. I had send it straight back to hell where it belonged. I saw my body slump. I couldn't see anything anymore. I saw only black, lonely darkness. It stretched out forever, continued for eternity. In a panic I hurried to leave Vic. I pushed myself out and came rushing into the chest of my own body. I disappeared into it.
I lay motionless barely breathing. I couldn't move. I couldn't speak. I couldn't even really open my eyes properly. I was just forced to lie there. With the little vision I had I could see Vic. He was on the floor. If I'm dying now just let him live. He rolled over and I felt relief. He was alive. Everyone rushed over to him but Jaime was with me. Vic crawled over to me and leant down in front of me. He gasped and took my hand.
"She isn't breathing," Vic muttered. "She isn't breathing!" he yelled. He was wrong, but I didn't have the energy to tell him.
"No," Jaime shook his head. "No!" he yelled desperately. Jess came over and wrapped her arms around him.
"Shh . . ." Jess soothed. But I looked at her, she was crying.
"I can't lose you," Vic rushed. "I just can't. Don't do this, Han'," he cried. My wrists and ankles were free now. Vic pulled me to him and held me tightly. He kissed me all over. His lips went to my face, lips, hair, arms, chest. He kissed everything he could reach. "God, I'm begging. If there's anyone up there, just give her back. I need her with me." his voice shook.
Something unbelievable happened. My light inside of me, my white light started glowing. Everyone could see it, I could see it. My entire body was glowing. My form was bathed in white light so blinding people had to turn away. Vic had to shut his eyes. I saw white smoke curl up out of my mouth. Until I inhaled deeply and sharply. I swallowed and started to cough.
I was able to open my eyes now. I could move. My hand came up and I took Vic's hand. His eyes opened and he took me in. He smiled so bright and started to shake with relief. He laughed quietly and pulled me closer to him.
"I love you." I told him.
"I love you too. I love you so so much." Vic rushed. Then he leant down and touched his lips to mine. I kissed him back deeply and passionately on the lips. I just want him now. He's my everything.

The day I almost died I nearly took the person I love with me.

Notes

Hey! What did you think? This was the final chapter! Hannah is badass. Do you have any questions? Vic is alive and okay. Hannah is alive and okay. She sent the demon straight back to hell.

There's still loads for her to face and do though. There's too much mystery. She isn't satisfied, she needs to find more about The Haunted and about her past self. Would you like to see that?

The sequel will be up after Christmas. I'll post any updates on that on this story!

The feedback I've got from this story is amazing! I can't believe it. If you look at all the supernatural stories on this site they don't do very well or get a very big audience. But this has done so well! I'm so happy! I love you all so much!

if you ever need to talk about anything or just want to chat you can message me. Or talk to me on tumblr or Skype. I'm always here for you. I love when you talk to me. And I'm always up for collabs! :)

I love you!
