Reborn ghost seeing lady is pampered by her ex husband - Chapter 302

Chapter 302: An empty body.

The surge pushed them all forward, if they were not safely secured in their seats with seat belts, they would all have been thrust to the front.

David’s first instinct was to protect Phoebe, he turned to her immediately like a mother worried for her baby.

“Pheebs, are you okay?”

She was okay, more than okay in fact because she had already moved on from the minor car crush. She was already seeking for answers.

“What’s happening?” Phoebe asked.

Her head was moving from side to side, pressed up against one of the tinted windows that she was intently trying to peek through.

Amon’s bells suddenly began to shake by themselves, rattling so loudly as if a ritual was being performed. The noise was so loud that the occupants of the car winced and David even covered his ears.

Amon reached into the pocket of his jacket and took out a small water bottle and rock salt. It was never a good thing when the bells went off on their own.

“Damn it! It is just as I suspected, that kid has something evil inside him.” Amon explained briefly.

The Saxon spirit was hovering above them, frantically floating from side to side and the place sniffing the air over and over

“Why are you so unsettled?” Phoebe asked it.

“I stopped the cars Pheebs, there is something on this ranch, something sinister and evil. I can smell the rotten energy, the kind that emanates from a demon. I do not want you to go in there.” It warned strongly.

“A demon?” Phoebe’s eyes flew wide open, she had heard of them but never seen one. The spirit had told her once that it was not easy to come across demons. Phoebe did not think that her first encounter with one would be on the Whitlock ranch.

It was as scary as it was exciting, her legs danced with the desire to run out of the car and take a look for herself.

David hung up the call the moment he heard Phoebe’s words, he was talking to his men who were already inside the ranch.

“My men had the kid but they say something is wrong with him, his parents have been locked in an empty room in the house. Pheebs what do you mean demon.” He quizzically stared at her, he wasn’t the only one Amon too was more than curious.

“I suspected that the kid was possessed after everything I heard but how did you know that it’s a demon?” Amon studied his restless bells. “Never mind, I am going in.”

Amon pushed a button and the car door slid open, he ventured out fearlessly without hesitation. Ignoring the Saxon spirit’s words, Phoebe run after him, shouting for him to wait for her.

David could not stay behind obviously, his long legs caught up with Phoebe rather quickly and he grasped her hand firmly. If the situation was dangerous, he planned to take her to safety first.

Just as they entered the gates of the ranch, one of David’s men sailed past them in the air like a rocket. All of them turned their heads and wide eyes to follow him, his life was in danger.

Phoebe waved her hand to remedy the situation but the Saxon spirit was faster. It saved the man from hitting a tree, but that was not end. Two more men flew past their heads and the Spirit caught them.

Amon broke into a run and Phoebe followed, dragging David with her. They stopped just when they reached the first open pasture because something unbelievable was happening.

Dead cows lay everywhere and Humphrey was on a rampage, battling against David’s men that were determined to capture him. The boy looked so different, inhumane, his eyes were blood red. Black veins were running through the parts of his body that were visible, he was making growling sounds from his mouth and his nails had turned into claws.

Phoebe wrenched her hand out of David’s grasp and threw out five paper talismans, she slapped her hands together and a large gust of wind carried them directly in Humphrey’s direction.

The ghosts were not idle, they joined the battle, Connie was pouring salt around Humphrey while Sylvester dropped crystals around them to form a protective circle.

Phoebe raised her head, faced the sky and yelled powerfully, “By the power of the earth and air, I call upon the ancient heavens, bind this evil, let it be felt no longer.”

As the spell started to take hold, the demon inside Humphrey did not take it kindly and it roared. It was stronger that ordinary ghosts so the sealing spell Phoebe had used was not going to last long.

Already, some of the salt was flying wildly in the air.

She turned her head to Amon that was running to Humphrey. “Hurry, it won’t hold for long.”

Suddenly a deep voice came from Humphrey’s mouth. “You cannot stop it Zephyra, Ravana is returning, we will be free again.”

Amon flung the bells at Humphrey directly and they hit him on the head, immediately the boy lost consciousness and fell to the ground.

He used two other talismans to seal the demon within the boy and put him in a coma state.

The wind settled down, all the things that had been flying in the air settled down. Phoebe’s nervous legs could not hold up much longer and she collapsed to the ground in a sitting position.

“David..help your men.” she croaked out.

She gave him some of the new powdered medicine for healing wounds in her bag. He put away his guns and checked on her first, after ensuring that she was fine, he went to check on his men that had been injured. Luckily, there were no permanent injuries.

“He…he..he kept chanting some strange words and his eyes turned black and then red and his, it was not human boss.” Sean, one of David’s men explained the situation, struggling to make sense of it.

“I know.” David answered.

He moved on to the others and told them to go to a hospital or back to their base for treatment.

Amon walked over to Phoebe and dropped Humphrey’s unconscious body down.

“It’s a demon alright, a lesser demon.”

“But how? This is a child, how is this possible? From the little knowledge that i have on this subject, a human must accept a demon to possess them before it can take control of their body. This is a kid, I find it hard to believe that at the age of six he invited one into his body.

“This child was unlucky to be born without a soul, he didn’t need to make a deal with the demon for him to get possessed, his body was empty. The demon just entered and took over his entire being, hiding inside like a parasite and doing evil.” Amon explained.

A part of Phoebe felt relived, greatly. It was not really a kid that was behind all that evil, it was a demon.

“Poor child, so what happens to him after the demon gets out of him?” David asked.

“There is a place where he can live a normal life without anything evil possessing him and do not ask because I won’t tell. Anyway, great job Pheebs, we might make a hunter out of you.”

Amon picked up Humphrey’s body and he joined a group of new arrivals, four people from the founding sect. He handed the boy to them and returned to Phoebe and David’s side.

“Where is the other daughter?” Phoebe’s eyes darted around in search for her.

“She has been escorted to the hotel where Janet Shumer is staying.” Sean shook his head.

“Bring the Whitlock’s to me.” David ordered his men. There was some unfinished business to handle.
