Hannah came out of the bathroom after taking a long hot bath. Her skin still red with a towel wrapped around her body. She always feels so refreshed after a hot bubbly bath.
Her bath had built in jets so would be in there for hours.
She got into her pyjamas and does her usual routine of cleansing the home with incense and reiki and gets into bed.
She got into bed and her phone rung.
" aunt Marie is everything ok? "
She asked concerned. Aunt Marie never called in the late evening so she was worried something had happened in the family.
" Hello dear, I'm sorry it's late. Has anybody gotten married or gotten pregnant recently "
" no aunt I would have let you know, why do you ask? " Hannah replied confused.
" I can sense some new people have joined the family and is bound. They have the potential of strong gifts but I can't figure out who it could be there's a slight block so I assumed it only had to be one of those things " Aunt Marie informed.
Her gifts were strong, she had never been wrong so far. She could predict things and see things others couldn't, including spirits of all sorts.
" well Oliver has recently gotten in a relationship with Eloise I'm not sure how you could sense her so strong already it's only just started and you've known Eloise for years but I don't know who the other one could possibly be " Hannah said.
She was excited with Aunt maries sensing gifts in Eloise; she had always thought she was different in some way.
She was concerned about who the other presence could be. maybe it's her brother she thought.
" oh I'm so happy it's Eloise I've always adored that girl. " aunt Marie proudly said.
" well, once this storm has improved you could come and stay with us. Maybe you'll be able to get a better idea of what you feel if it is Eloise you're seeing " Hannah says
" I would love that darling " aunt Marie smiles and says.
" alright auntie I'm going to go to sleep now love you see you soon " Hannah yawns saying.
" good night dear love you too " Aunt Marie says before ending the call.
Aunt Marie is sat on her soft puffy arm chair in her spirit room with her hand stroking her chin deep in thought after her phone call with her niece.
This can't simply be because Eloise has started a relationship with our Oliver she thinks.
who could possibly be the others I feel aswel and why is there a block?
Aunt Marie had never come across something like this before. She was eager to find out the answer to her questions.
She had been seeing a figure of a young person occasionally through the years but could never communicate with it for some reason she couldn't figure out.
She would talk to it hoping it would reply but it never did.
it must need my help some how she had decided. She had been seeing more and more of it through the last year though.
" hopefully I can figure out how to help you soon dear " she said to it sounding motherly.
She liked to help those who came to her that needed help no matter their type of existence but she could normally communicate which made it usually a lot easier.
She then felt a strong burst of energy in the room and suddenly the ash from her incense she had been burning had been arranged into an E.
She stared wide eyed at the letter Infront of her on her wooden table.
" E? did you do this? " she questioned 'it' but still had no response.
she stood up and paced the room and thinking hard before realising the possibility
" Eloise, is this what you're trying to tell me? " asking again with no answer.
She felt the atmosphere in the room relax instantly once she had said Eloise.
She hadn't noticed the tension before so she assumes it was this figure who had been carrying the tension.
Since it had been following her for so long she didn't even notice it anymore
" now we're on the right track " she smiled to herself.
Hannah had began organising the trip for her aunt. Her aunt was from her mothers side she was very close with her through the years.
Even before their problems they weren't the best parents but they were at least functional.
She adored her aunt and often they were confused as mother and daughter.
Hannah was only 38, she was young when she had Victoria and her aunt was 44. It seemed to have been the thing in their family to have big age gaps between siblings.
Victorias dad - Gerald - was away looking after his parents they thought it would be best the girls would stay so Victoria didn't see her grandparents deteriorate.
They worked in shifts between the siblings so Gerald would be due back home for another year. There were 3 siblings so they would split it so they each did 4 months a year each.
Gerald wanted to be home for Christmas and his and Hannahs wedding anniversary so he made sure he would be home.
22 years they will have been married.
They got married soon after they found out they were having a baby their parents consented disapproving of the thought of the baby being born out of wedlock.
Gerald would be happy to know that aunt Marie would be staying when he got back she was such a kind woman he thought. Aunt Marie seemed to connect with everyone, probably because she could see right into your soul.
Aunt Marie welcomed him from the beginning and helped them through everything.
When Hannah went into labour with Victoria there were some issues with the birth that could have ended their lives if aunt Marie had not have been there to take the correct measures before being able to get medical intervention.
She handled the situation perfectly and saved them while they were on to the hospital.
So of course for this she was his hero.
Victoria grew up calling her nanny Marie, though it didn't make sense she would never be told to call her any different she wouldn't hear of it and was ready to argue with anyone about it if they tried.
That night Hannah would have strange dreams of a figure. A figure that was in her house in the room with Eloise and Oliver while they were sleeping. She didn't know what it was or its intentions she assumed it was no good since it was hiding so she was screaming and trying to wake them up and tried to run to them but it was as though she was stuck in a sound proof invisible box.
The figure began to walk slowly toward her she was terrified worrying it would harm them but as it got closer she relaxed a little. She was still scared but not as she was before. The figure stood Infront of her not saying or doing anything.
She tried to speak to the figure but it didn't speak back. She began to not feel afraid anymore she felt it meant no harm. suddenly a boy with an evil face came from behind it and raised a sword and sliced it in half and for a second the figure changed and she saw a girl with her body sliced in 2.
She didn't get to see long enough to recognise the girl, her blood splattered all over the room, on her and in her eyes before she got to see long enough.
Hannah woke up struggling to breathe and covered in sweat with her heart racing. She was feeling terrified from her dream on the edge of tears. that felt too real she thought then looked at her clock, 3:30am.
she felt disappointed that it wasn't properly morning yet she no longer felt tired.
She tried to forget about the dream for now so she could go back to sleep but was too upset still from the vivid scene in her dream.
She turned on her lamp and opened her bedside table draw to get the notebook and pen she kept there to write her dreams in so that she could look back at it in hopes to figure out what it meant the next day.
She always kept a notebook near by when she was sleeping no matter where she was because she occasionally would have dreams that meant something and she wanted to be able to write it down while it was fresh in her head so she couldn't forget any detail that could help her work out what her dream meant.
Once she had finished writing everything she could remember she put it back in the draw and sat on her bed rubbing her eyes.
She decided to play a show on her phone she didn't care what one just the first on she pulled up usually it would be a comedy to lighten her mood when she had messages in her dreams that upset her when Gerald was away.
It was always harder to calm down and sleep without him there when they occured.
She laid back down and drifted off to a better dream trying to push the last one out her mind until the morning.
