As we headed for the prison’s gates, I tried to envision what I’d seen, but I was scared to look too deeply. I knew what it meant if I did. Being empathetic, I’d take on whatever was being projected. It’d be like watching a horror film; wanting to see, yet not wanting to see, afraid to miss something important. I was doomed to be haunted.
“Cassie?” Seb’s gentle touch caused me to start as it yanked me from my thoughts. I blinked. “Sorry. I’m just trying to process it all.” Seb squeezed my hand.
Once again, I felt grateful to have such an understanding brother. I owed so much to him. After all, it was he who discovered what my gifts were. For a long time, I thought there was something wrong with me; that I was crazy – cursed even. I’d engaged in cutting and locking myself away. When Seb realised what I was doing, he got me the help I needed. He stopped my self-imposed alienation, ended my suffering, and helped me to understand what I am.
Luckily, I’m not that fragile anymore. But he’s never stopped protecting me – from others or myself.
“Can you tell me anything else?” he asked after a moment. “Give me something to go on? We’ve got to link Plinth categorically to Chantelle.”
“He’s a horrible man, but I need to sort through it.” I pinched the bridge of my nose. “Chantelle’s saying nothing. All I see is her face, staring, and I’m consumed by her palpable fear.” Frustrated with both him and myself, I snapped, “It’s all just images and emotions, and honestly, the rest I’m afraid to look at.”
“I get that, but he thinks he’s got one over us because we can’t prove it yet. We’re going through everything, piece by piece – his house, his friends, including the one you told us about from the cafe. Basically, we’re taking his life apart.”

A dark malevolent spirit followed me around, and so far, I’d not acknowledged it. Although lost souls are with us every day, they are usually harmless. As a clairvoyant, I see them all the time. Unless I’m using my gift, I pay them no heed. But this felt different.
Ignoring it was a mistake, which I would realise later. The early hours of the morning saw me return home as dawn stretched its fingers across the sky. A display of orange streaks bathed the area in an eerie glow.
I inserted the key into the lock of the flat I’ve lived in for the last nine years. The plain brown door sat between two shop fronts on the high street, and my entrance was the only one at the top.
As the door shut behind me, the hairs on my neck stood on end. I wasn’t alone. Blindly, I reached for the light switch and snapped it on.
The lone bulb dimly illuminated the staircase ahead, and, immediately, I saw the source of my reaction. A dim radiance lingered on the landing above. It had no worldly form, just a residue of smoky greys and shades of black. The middle appeared denser and resembled the clouds of an impending storm.
A frosty air wrapped around me as I stared up at it. For a fraction of a second, there was a standoff before it rushed in my direction. The breath caught in my throat as the entity passed through me.
In its haste to retreat, it almost knocked me off my feet. My core chilled from its icy blast, and I watched it disappear through the cracks in the front door and out into the high street.
My home had always been my safe place. This was the first time I’d found something here. It had come for me. The question was, why?
Hastily, I legged it up the stairs as annoyance trickled through me. What did it want? Why was it here?
I knew it wouldn’t enter my flat itself unless I invited it, because nothing ever had before. The invitation could be in the form of a build-up of uneasiness and alarm. The spirits liked us to be afraid; it gave them power.
Entities like that thrived on our terrors. It gave them substance. But they didn’t frighten me. My gift of clairvoyance meant I was unafraid of the dead. What did it want? I asked myself.

you by name, you sit up and take notice. Cassie instantly feels attracted to
the charming Damien Mathers.

not appreciate Cassie’s interference.
As things turn bizarre, with spectral figures making their presence felt.

Shadowy figures moved around us, unaware of our presence. Wispy imprints of people who probably didn’t know they were dead, still doing what they always had.
My eyes homed in on the frightened girl I saw earlier. She looked happier now as she busied herself in the kitchen.
Someone referred to her by name. It was a whisper that barely ruffled the air. “Isabelle,” I murmured. She stopped and stared right at me as her form solidified.
Rachel gasped; her voice trembled. “I know that name. I’ve heard it before.”
My gaze remained fixed on the apparition; its ethereal glow seemed to pulse faintly in the dim light. She was the only black face amongst white.
As Isabelle hovered in front of me, I saw her properly for the first time. Realising that someone had brought her here as a slave to work in a rich man’s house was shocking. No wonder she had looked so terrified when I saw her when Damien brought me here.
Short, tight afro hair framed a petite face with large brown eyes. She blinked several times, as if unsure she really saw me.
“Isabelle,” I said again. The girl glanced at me as she moved silently between us. Her gazed rested back on me.
Rachel’s cheeks turned pale as she stared at her.
The boys were oblivious to what was taking place.
Rachel and I followed the young woman towards the stairs.
The brothers watched the scene curiously, clearly not understanding what was happening.
Isabelle mounted the staircase and halfway up, she stopped and looked briefly at us, before proceeding.
“What’s going on?” Daniel asked.
“Don’t you see her?” his wife whispered.
“Who?”
Rachel glanced at me, and I shook my head and went upstairs after the apparition. Rachel followed.
The guys stayed at the bottom, and as we rounded the corner to the next flight, Isabelle disappeared.
