Reborn ghost seeing lady is pampered by her ex husband

Chapter 519: Mercy for Cassie was thin.



Rekha tapped the small notepad impatiently; each tap was sending a message that said, 'hurry up.' Time was of the essence especially because they did not know the state of the other girls that were involved. Odds were high that if Connie was haunting Cassie, she was haunting them too.

However, Cassie was in no state to respond to Rekha, from the time she heard about Connie's real cause of death she was inconsolable. She was back to hugging her knees, chocking on tears that burned her cheeks like acid.

Maureen gestured for all the women to step away from Connie and form a circle initiate a whisper session.

"Okay I am just going to put it out there that I have dealt with my fair share of ghosts of victims that were bullied and go on rampage seeking justice for themselves and let me tell you that those stories rarely end well." Maureen looked at Phoebe deliberately and added, "For the ghosts especially because most of them are laser focused on revenge."

"Connie is different." Phoebe replied quickly.

"Can we find the girls first; I know that they are bad, but we cannot just look away." Rekha shared her own thoughts on what she considered to be most important at the moment.

Cassie's sobs became louder, and all the women looked back at her.

Phoebe shook her head gently. "Seeing her like this makes me pity her. How is she going to recover from this? For the rest of her life, she will have to carry the knowledge of what she did or did not do."

"Yeah boo-hoo she is half a murderer so I am not that sorry for her, she made her choice. I am almost tempted not to help her but my oath as a guardian compels me to do the right thing and help her and her bully friends. We need to find the rest of the culprits as soon as possible." Maureen looked again at the sobbing teenager once again.

She was one step away from slapping Cassie out of her grief. They walked back to the bed and asked Cassie again for the numbers and addresses of her friends.

"Here, you can browse through her phone for their numbers." Collin tossed his sister's phone towards Rekha.

The spirit kept it's eyes on the central map, not wanting to lose sight of Connie for a single second. "Call Rufus and tell him that you will be late, this is not a matter that you can postpone." It advised Phoebe.

The spirit was worried because none of them knew what Connie was thinking. This could be like the calm before the storm and all those bullies could be living their last day or days on earth.

After Placing the call to old man Rufus, Phoebe asked Rekha and Sylvester to go check on the girls. "Make sure that you give them protection bracelets, the rest of us will go to the Salt lake caves and meet Connie. Let us meet at the Saxon tower when all this is over." She dragged her gaze over to Cassie who let a silent scream of air escape from her.

"You want me to go back there! Never! I-I cannot." Cassie swore, grasping at the covers on the bed, she sought to cover her body and hide in her body forever.

"Maybe you should not have left your sister there then." Rekha scoffed and excused herself.

Maureen scoffed loudly as well, clearly Cassie still thought that she had a say in the matter after what she had done. "Yes you are, whether you want to or not. You must get on your knees and beg your sister to forgive you for your stupidity which by the way led to her death. That is where we start, and you better pray that she forgives you or else things could go south." Her words were not a request but a command.

She opened her bag and picked out a few talismans, one effectively shut Cassie up.

"I am going with you guys." Collin said.

Phoebe slung the bag straps over her shoulders. "I am going to need a big heavy jacket because we are going to visit a frozen lake." She twisted her hair back, securing it with a hair band. "I hate caves, why does it have to be a cave?"

Just as they were about to leave, the sound of an electric keypad alerted them to the arrival of someone outside the apartment.

"Lydia is back." The spirit told them, it's words were more of a warning than simple information sharing. She wanted them to prepare themselves because Lydia would want to know where her daughter was being taken and why she seemed incoherent.

Not to forget, Lydia was the talkative sort, she would chat their ears off as long as the opportunity was presented.

Letting out a frustrated sigh, Maureen stared at Phoebe knowingly, they had to deal with her too. "I had forgotten about her." She commented.

Collin quickly spun around. "I will go and get rid of her." He told them. As he moved to the door, Maureen stopped him.

"And how long do you plan on hiding this from her? I suggest that you go and fill her in on everything. We do not know how this is going to end for both girls. She needs to be aware of what is going to happen." Maureen proposed.

In her opinion Lydia Baltimore had a say in the matter. This seemed like it was going to be easy just because they knew Connie, but vengeful ghosts were unpredictable. It was possible for Connie to forgive Cassie but not before taking an eye, an ear or a leg. It was also possible for Connie to escape and come looking for Lydia, blaming her for something, like failing to notice the bullying.

Maureen really couldn't understand how parents missed those signs when they were so obvious sometimes. The relationship between Connie and Cassie had been so strained in the weeks leading up to her death. How had Collin and Lydia missed it?

She recalled that they had both just lost a husband and a father, so they had probably been drowning in their own grief that they missed what was happening.

"I agree, in fact we need her consent. If she says no, then we will have to find other ways of saving Connie without involving Cassie." Phoebe told a hesitant Collin.

Collin took a deep breath and readied himself to share with his mother the truth about Connie's death. Phoebe and Maureen stuck by him because they did not trust Collin to reveal the whole truth. As Lydia's figure appeared, he stepped away from the women.

"I will do this alone, don't worry I will be honest." Collin assured them.

He pulled his mother aside before she could speak to Phoebe or Maureen. After a few minutes of watching mother and son, they saw Lydia gasp in shock, cry, and then scream__No!
