Reborn ghost seeing lady is pampered by her ex husband

Chapter 522: Back from the brink of death.



"How does an ice burial sound?" Arrow asked lightly. It seemed like he was trying to infuse humor into the situation, but the humor was not well received.

Maureen in particular glared at him. "You shut up."

Arrow raised his hands and backed away from the ghost hunters. He started clearing the broken pieces of frozen rocks away and fixing the cracks in the cave so that it would not collapse on them.

"If she keeps that up much longer no amount of patching will be good enough." he reminded the ghost hunters.

Maureen and Phoebe knew this, but that was not all that they had to worry about. Blood had entered into the equation, and it was freezing as quickly as it touched the ground. Multiple shards of ice had torn through Cassie's body, with one sliding in between her ribs.

It was not an accident that she was injured, Connie had been deliberate. Having learned a lot from Phoebe about how to control her energy, Connie knew exactly how to control the ice shard that narrowly missed her sister's heart.

The shard was still moving, continuing its journey through Cassie's body under Connie's careful ministrations.

"Connie!" Phoebe screamed out in desperation, her moist eyes stared at Connie in a mixture of shock and disbelief. "Do not do it, do not kill your sister. There is no turning back after you take her life you will become an evil ghost. Your chance at reincarnation will be gone and you will go to hell." She implored her.

Not being able to watch what would happen next, Lydia collapsed and fell on the floor in tears, and she begged for Cassie to be spared but even that did not deter Connie from trying to kill her sister.

"Why should I spare her when she shows no remorse for what she did to me? I want her to suffer just like I did, I want her to feel the pain that she made me feel. I want her to call out my name and beg for help just as I did when I was drowning, alone and frightened. After she begs me for her life then I will be merciful and kill her." Connie's eyes glowed like two hot molten coals.

Phoebe's face paled, she was on the brink of fainting. never had she seen such hatred burn in Connie for anything.

"What do we do?" Maureen yelled to Phoebe.

Arrow formed a frozen arrow, and he aimed it at Connie. "I have the target in sight; I am going to shoot." He informed them.

His words elicited a "NO!" from the spirit and Phoebe, they did not believe that Connie was too far gone. When they found her, she was rational---angry but rational.

"Mother, he can't shoot her because it's dangerous for them both." Baby Star pitched in.

"If you shoot both of them will not survive, the ice shard is too close to Cassie's heart that it will kill her if Connie loses control over it." Phoebe explained exactly like baby Star told her to.

Arrow lowered his hand, and the arrow melted, vanishing into the air. One problem was solved but the biggest problem was still waiting to be handled.

"Connie, look at me." Phoebe pleaded.

An outwardly laugh came from Connie, her eyes drifted to the crimson liquid that had formed a frozen pond. More was being added to it, every second that passed.

"Do you know what the saddest part in all this is. That damn ice cream was not even for me! It was a gift for this selfish sister of mine because I was trying to lighten her mood after the fight we had at school. That boy that she accused me of taking from her, I never liked him! When he hit on me, I told him so, but he went out and spread rumors about us both around the school.

The actual boy I liked refused to speak to me because of the rumors. While I was handling my own pain I put aside time to deal with my sister's tantrum. I wanted to give her that ice cream as a peace offering and then explain the misunderstanding.

I wanted to go out for the ice cream myself, but our father stopped me, and he went out in person. Unfortunately, he died and suddenly I became the evil brat that killed her father because I threw a tantrum, demanding for ice cream in heavy rains." She twisted her wrist, causing the ice dagger to move. "If you had bothered to check the fridge, you would have found my favorite brand of ice cream was fully stocked. If you had checked the ice cream our father bought you would have seen that it was foie gras ice cream which is your favorite Cassie."

Cassie let out a painful groan. "How was I supposed to know that? You never said anything about that but even if you did, I would not forgive you for causing father's death because you did. I did not ask you to buy me ice cream so why did you assume I wanted it. Why couldn't you mind your business? Kill me if you want, I won't apologize." She maintained her stance about the matter.

"Gladly." Connie said and she twisted the shard again, making Cassie scream.

"Fuck you bitch..you took everything from me, and I hate you." she whimpered.

"Both these girls are stubborn, this is going to end badly no matter what." Phoebe silently voiced to the spirit.

Star kicked inside the tummy to draw Phoebe's attention. "Not if you erase both their memories, in fact the entire family's memories such that no thoughts or attempts can be made to conjure Connie's ghost." She made a suggestion.

"But..." Phoebe was hesitant but Star kicked her again and this time, it was painful.

"You will have to distract her with something, then I will take her from behind." The spirit silently communicated. It was on board with the baby.

Maureen stared at her niece. "Pheebs! You are a little too quiet over there." Her voice trembled__quiet yet ferocious.

"Connie, while you were away, I began to talk to the baby. It's a girl and we are calling her Star." Phoebe informed Connie whose neck adjusted such that she could face her.

Confusion pooled in Connie's eyes. "You gave her a pet name? Without me there!! How could you, I had dibs on pet names." Connie unintentionally pulled out the ice dagger from Cassie's chest.

In that moment of distraction, the spirit grabbed her and vanished with her to the space. Phoebe sealed Cassie's wound to prevent further bleeding.

Collin quickly rushed to Cassie's side and suggested that they rush her to the hospital. "Please hang in there." He lifted her and rose to his feet.

His eyes darted between Phoebe and Arrow, wondering who would pave the way.

"Mother do not just stand there, the girl will die if you don't heal her at least to some extent." Star reminded Phoebe.

Quickly, Phoebe placed her hand on Cassie and funneled some of her energy to Cassie, surprisingly the cuts on her body began to close themselves up.

Once again, the Baltimore's were befuddled and so was Arrow.

"Who are you?" Arrow whispered to Phoebe. He was a guardian who had seen a lot of strange things but not a shaman healing wounds magically without a talisman or chanting a spell.
