Reborn ghost seeing lady is pampered by her ex husband - Chapter 270

Chapter 270: Dead or alive

“How can you say that out loud?” Grandma Mayfair’s expression strongly disapproved of Luna’s choice of words.

Her eyes rolled upwards. “Oh please you we are all thinking the same thing, if she is not here it’s possible that she survived and escaped. If by chance this happened, we should be coming up with a contingency plan which ends with that bitch six feet under. Is there someone here that wants Ruth to actually survive this fire?” Luna asked but her question was responded by silence.

Nevertheless, they all shared the same opinion, a dead Ruth was better than a missing one.

Luna was not finished sharing her opinions on the matter, she put her hands behind her back, tilted her head and said, “No offense to everyone here but keeping her alive was a mistake that needs to be remedied. Evil people never die, they are like worms, they somehow always find a way to escape the net woven around them.

This fire for example, are you certain that it is not connected to her?

Where are her parents, perhaps they did it to rescue their daughter? Lockhart has existed for 50 years without a single fire incident and this happens after Ruth moves in___My spidey senses say it’s no coincidence.”

Every word that she said hit a point that was worth thinking over and the Mayfairs traded gazes. Luke knew that David had the Gabriel’s so he focused more on David.

David meanwhile was already on his phone, reaching out to Roman.

[Where are the Gabriel’s? What have they been up to today?]

He received updates on them every other day and normally he would getting one the following day but this was an emergency.

Roman and some of his people were already on their way to different hospitals, some had already even arrived and they were combing through the patients that had been driven in from Lockhart.

“Do they know the cause of the fire yet?” Edward massaged his nostrils, the air had been polluted making it a little hard to breath.

David sighed sharply, a sound carrying the weight of his exasperation into the air.

“I don’t know, anything could have happened this hospital is really old. Perhaps the wires sorted and started a fire, or someone lit a cigarette.” He answered.

“Or someone started the fire deliberately to help Ruth escape from the hospital.” Came Luna’s unpopular opinion which garnered her attention from everyone. “Guys it’s just too convenient that the fire started in the Eastern wing where Ruth was.” Luna dug deeper, asserting her observations.

Luke took a step towards the center. “Luna has a point, we should consider it just as we are considering other options. Has any of you heard from the Gabriel’s ever since we locked Ruth in here? His eyes moved around from one Mayfair to another in search of an answer but they all shook their heads, no one had heard from them.

David opened his mouth to admit to having information on their latest movements but his phone rung. Rather than texting, Roman was calling.

“Excuse me.” he said, and left the small group momentarily.

Luna moved turned to Phoebe. “Do the Gabriel’s know about your shaman abilities?”

Phoebe nodded, even Ruth was aware.

“I have a way of tracking Ruth but something is blocking me. I want to try again.” Phoebe shared.

She knelt on the ground, put the central map on the grass and cast a location spell again.

The others hovered around, Luna even squatted down besides Phoebe and she watched in fascination as the drop of blood traveled and stopped on the location of Lockhart.

“What does this mean?” Edward asked loudly.

Phoebe frowned. “It means that she is here but this can’t be right…I….” she looked up at her parents and scratched her head.

The next thing she wanted to admit was kind of weird, and she thought they would look at her in a different way if they knew what she had done.

“I sort of planted a bug in her bones which i can use to track her anywhere in the world.”

“You did what now?” Grandma Mayfair squeaked out.

Phoebe sighed, it really wasn’t the time to explain her actions. The people with her however were looking at her with a mixture of emotions in their eyes. Most of them were bewildered, having never heard about this kind of thing.

“Tracker magic…” Luna whispered.

Phoebe turned her eyes to Luna and she nodded.

“You have heard about it.”

Luna nodded. “It is considered to be a myth, apparently you can tie a soul seeker worm to someone’s soul. The worm can sense the direction and distance of a person, allowing the owner of the worm to track the one they are keeping an eye on with ease.”

“Soul seeker worms and tracker worms are different but they mostly do the same thing. A tracker worm is attached to the body or bones, a soul seeker worm to the soul. I used a tracker worm which i told Maria to put in her food.” Phoebe told her.

Luna laughed vividly, obviously impressed.

The two spoke casually but those that were listening felt some discomfort, Jennie especially rubbed her hands against her arms. It was as if she could feel worms in her own body.

“Err, Pheebs, we did not eat any worms, right?” Grandma Mayfair asked.

Phoebe shook her head. Jennie made up her mind to keep Phoebe out of the kitchen.

“If the worm says that she is here, then we should follow the directions of the worm.” Luke said brashly.

He was impatient, this magical talk could wait for another day, dead or alive, they needed to find and capture Ruth.

The Saxon spirit and Phoebe traded looks. While Luna and Phoebe were talking, it had thought of something.

“Earlier you said that you couldn’t find Ruth’s exact location even though you can still sense the bug in her body. What if someone is helping her and they found a shaman or warlock that could suppress the worm. What if they cast a veiling spell? You gave her one hour of sanity so that she could suffer through spending her birthday in a mental asylum.

Who knows what happened during that time? Ruth knows about your shaman abilities, she must have made some arrangements. If magic was used here, we should track the magic. It will surely lead us to Ruth.”

The words from the spirit only pushed Phoebe further off the edge, it seemed like it was possible Ruth’s mystery helper from her last life had made a move.

A small smile tugged on Phoebe’s lips, the long awaited foe had finally showed up. Things would become even more interesting from now on.
