Into The Light By Nicholas Halliwell


ONE

"Melinda. You don't understand. We have to go look for my friend!" explained Andrea. The were both sipping their extremely hot coffee's from Village Java just across the square, and standing inside their little antique shop. Melinda was in the back, trying to unpack some new stuff she had just received while Andrea was leaning on the counter where the cash register is.

"I understand, Andrea. But I'm not in the right position to go mountain climbing" said Melinda. She stepped out of the back, motioning to her wearing a frilly sundress and not-so high heels. Andrea drank some more of her coffee, then opened the lid. She turned around quickly and before Melinda could do anything Andrea through her hot coffee all over Melinda.

Melinda's face was burning, tears were welling up, and her white dress was stained.

"Help Me!" Andrea screamed, "I don't want to do this. He's making me do this. HELP!!!" Melinda wiped the tears and coffee away from her eyes. She saw Andrea talking to someone, but she didn't know who. It was Ramone!

"Andrea no! Get away from him! Get away from him!" she screamed.

"Melinda! Melinda! Wake up!" It was her husband, Jim. Melinda opened her eyes but was still screaming. "Melinda. It's ok. We all miss her, but she's crossed over now".

"No!" sobbed Melinda. "No. He's still after her. He's more powerful than ever.

"Ok we have to stop him. Think about him. You have some ghostly connection. Can't you think about him and here he is?"

"No" sobbed Melinda, drenched in sweat. She sat up and started walking toward the bathroom. "I don't like to think about him" she answered.

"Why?" asked Jim.

"Because" answered Melinda, "when I think about him, he can see me". Jim was awstruck, but Melinda just walked into the bathroom. She started to wash her face and then she grabbed a towel. When she pulled the towel away, all the windows and mirrors were fogged up. Like someone had just used the shower.

Then slowly, like someone was writing with their finger, the letters H, E, L, P, M, E were written on the mirror. Melinda used her hand and wiped away the letters and saw Andrea's face. It was surrounded in the most beautiful light that you could ever imagine. But she didn't look happy. She looked scared. Melinda then saw a sillouhette of someone behind her. It was a man, with a hat.

"Andrea! Get away from him. Leave! Now! Go! Get away! Get out of here!" screamed Melinda. A whole bunch of whispy things surrounded Melinda and blinded her view of Andrea. She vaintly saw Andrea mouth the words "save me", and then Ramone pulled her away. The whisps went away too once the 'light' was closed. Jim burst through the dorr and hugged Melinda.

"You alright?" he asked. Melinda nodded.

"I have to visit Andrea" she replied.

"Melinda. What is that?" asked Jim. It was 2 a.m. and Melinda was mixing a whole bunch of liquids together. She poured some cola into the concotion and, almost like a potion, it 'popped' and smoke whisped out of the glass. "Ok you are not drinking that".

"Oh yes I am" declared Melinda. She grabbed a spoon and started stirring. She looked up at Jim. "Just a little something I've picked up. Actually, Andrea taught me". Melinda continued stirring.

"Melinda this drink will kill you" explained Jim, even though Melinda already knew.

"Yes. And you'll have about an hour to give me CPR. That's all it takes" explained Melinda, "I have to help her!"

"I thought... what's-his-face"

"Ramone"

"Yes, Ramone. I thought Ramone couldn't go into the light. Too much love, or something" asked Jim. Melinda nodded her head.

"Yes. But he's stronger now" explained Melinda. She picked up the drink and took a sip. Jim shook his head and Melinda finished the entire thing. She felt herself seperate from her body and while she was standing, her body fell, right in front of the fridge. She saw water on the ground, then she realized she had 'relieved' herself. 'Oh God', she thought, then she started to look around.

She looked in the kitchen, the living room, her bedroom, even the bathroom. She couldn't find the light. It had been 10 minutes, but there was no light. 'Oh no', Melinda thought. What unfinished business could she possibly have? "Oh!" she screamed. She thought of the antique store and, in a blink, she was standing out front. She stepped inside (since she's a ghost) and looked at the door. It was locked.

"Ok. I have a clear conscience now. Where's the light?" screamed Melinda. She thought of the kitchen and then she was there. Jim was sitting at the island, his head on his hands. Melinda looked at herself, and there was a fly on her hand. She tried to flick it away but her hand went right through it.

"JIM!" she screamed. He kept his head down. "JIM! REVIVE ME!" she kept screaming. He didn't here her.

***

Forty-five minutes had passed. Jim had fallen asleep and had forgotten to revive her. Melinda was in the living room in the corner crying. In the corner of her eye, she saw a light in the kitchen turn on. She slowly got up, and stumbled to the kitchen, ver confused. Jim was still sleeping, and the light bulb wasn't glowing. She squinted her eyes and faintly saw Andrea.

"I promised I'd be the first face you'd see" she said.
