Reborn ghost seeing lady is pampered by her ex husband

"Before we do anything, can we take a vote on how to handle things if Connie has become an evil spirit?" Maureen took two steps towards Phoebe tentatively.

The glare she got from her niece made her take four steps back. "So that's a no." she muttered. She could not believe that she was being intimidated by her niece. Not only was Phoebe younger but she was also shorter and when it came it came to experience with dealing with the supernatural, she still came up short. "The things we do for family." she whispered to herself.

She was officially compromised on this mission. Maybe Rekha would be the one to save them if Connie tried to rip their heads off. Perhaps Phoebe would be the one to end it all.

As the spirit got to work, Phoebe took out the central map and began to search for Connie.

"I have found her; she is in the Salt Lake caves." The words came out in a fragile murmur. Connie had gone back to her place of death.

Collin who had not once taken his eyes off her, heard the location and he stood up. "Is that where she is right now? I will go find her and bring her back here." He suggested.

He was trying to make an effort to sort out the mess that he had created, and he was worried about Connie. He did not want his sister to be vanquished, no matter what she had become. Collin was sure that if he brought her back, Phoebe would find a way to save her.

"No" Phoebe nearly jumped over the bed to stop Collin. The last thing she wanted was for him to aggravate the situation even more. "You do not have to, I have means of watching over her. As long as she is not hurting people wherever she is then it is okay for now."

[You have done enough; I never should have allowed Connie to go with you.]

The thought was like a slap to Collin's face which paled as he fell back on the bed, sitting beside Cassie again.

Phoebe dug into her bag and pulled out two coins which she flipped. She ordered raven Yin and black kitty to keep an eye on Connie, they were not to engage her unless it was necessary.

After the departure of the undead pets, Phoebe returned her attention to Cassie, she was awake and drinking a tonic that Maureen was feeding her.

"How do you feel Cassie?" Phoebe moved closer to the girl and spoke to her in a soft voice.

With grimace, Cassie made an attempt to spit out the bitter tonic. It was Maureen's warning stare that stopped her from even thinking about it.

Still, the girl made sure to glare at Maureen. "I hate this stuff, that drink tastes like shit! All your tonics do." Cassie complained.

It was not true but it was not the most important matter to deal with, so nobody corrected the girl. Her attitude was also less than pleasant but nobody commented on it too.

A wave of relief flooded Phoebe's body because it seemed Connie's damage was not irreversible. Clearly, she was not out to kill Cassie just yet. "Seeing that you are back to your usual arrogant self, I guess that you are feeling much better and back to your usual self." Phoebe calmly replied swiftly.

Cassie scoffed. It was no surprise to them.

Maureen dragged a pink office chair from where it was by a desk and brought it closer to the bed. She sat down and looked at the girl like a detective prepared to interrogate a criminal. "Now, that everyone is awake or alert, there is no need for anymore meandering. Cassie your sister's ghost has been haunting you and it is because something happened between the two of you which resulted in her death. We want to know what happened__, the whole truth child." She told it like it was with no sugar coating.

Alarmed, Cassie's body visibly stiffened. "Wait, haunting, so I really saw her! That was not a dream?" She shifted with unease, pulling out the holy book of saints and angels from under the pillow. She hugged it tightly as if she was trying to keep a demon from invading her body. Her nervous eyes moved from left to right, up and down, seeking the vengeful ghost of her sister.

"No, you were not dreaming, Connie had been living here for a while. All was well and good until she got her memories back and now your sister is out to get you. You can put the holy book down; she cannot harm you with us here." Rekha assured her, tossing rock salt at her.

Cassie was not too pleased to be hit with salt on the face, but she did not dodge it.

Maureen snapped her fingers. "Start talking, we do not have all day, we already know that you know what happened to Connie, if you want our help then you better start talking or else we will leave and let her finish you off."

Collin glared at Maureen, he did not like the threat, but he could not pitch in as he was useless.

"Is Connie's death your fault?" Maureen questioned.

Tears spewed out of Cassie's eyes, and she nodded. "Yes, maybe it was my fault, but I don't care. In fact, it was not my fault. It was her fault, everything was her fault, our father died because of her. It was late at night, and it was raining. There was a weather alert on the news, and everyone was told to get to safety. She wanted to eat ice cream!!! Can you imagine!! she wanted ice cream in that weather. Our father decided to go out in person to buy the ice cream and he died." She yelled out the rage filled words between tears.

Collin pulled his brows together, confusion cooling in his eyes. "It was an accident, Cassie; you shouldn't have blamed Connie for that." His voice carried the weight of shared sorrow.

"Yes, it was. Just because you deny this fact does not mean that you are right. Dad did not want to risk the lives of the servants or anyone else. He did not want to go out that night as well but that ungrateful brat made a fuss, so he went to get her ice cream and he never returned, he died because of her." Cassie continued to emphasize in an angry voice.

She looked at Maureen and said, "You want to know what happened between us I will tell you what happened. I was so mad at her for killing our dad that I told all our friends at school that his death was her fault. That was when all it all begun, they labeled her a murderer, alienated her and bullied her."

"Cassie, my God!" Collin exclaimed.

Cassie just went on explaining what had happened, "I did nothing to stop it because I was just so angry. She always took everything from me, first it was the attention of the boy I loved and then my best friend and my spot as head cheerleader. She also joined the math Olympiad and took away my championship. Finally, she took away my dad and I will never forgive her for that." She buried her head in her hands and wept.

"Oh Cass, what did you do?" Collin whispered.
