This bitch needs to go.
I just need to figure out how…
And I think I know just the ghost to help me.
Chapter Fifteen
After dropping off Autumn, Phantom immediately returns to the clubhouse, which is perfect, because Damien’s lurking around, and I need him right now. He’s the only one who can help me scare this bitch off from ever returning.
I find him casually leaning outside of the war room, doing his best not to fall through the wall.
The second he sees me, he’s got that confident, casual smile on his face, ogling me like he’s ready to devour me whole. When he winks, there’s a strange shiver that crawls up my spine, but I shake it off as being annoyance and repulsion.
“Stop looking at me like that; it’s creepy.”
He laughs.“Sorry, Dollface, when perfection enters the room, you can’t help but stare at it.”
Rolling my eyes, I march straight up to him, ready to give him one hell of an ultimatum.“I have a proposition for you.”
“What’s up?”he asks, suddenly intrigued by my voice dropping into a low whisper.
“You want to fuck me, right?”
He straightens, his good eye widening just a tad.“Well, of course. Who wouldn’t?”
“Then I need you to show me how to possess someone.”
He laughs.“Is that all?”
“Yes! I want to possess Autumn and make her leave for good. The only way I can do that is by ruining whatever it is they have. So, I need you to show me how to do it.”
Frowning, he scrubs the back of his neck, looking a bit apprehensive. “I don’t know, Eve. Possessing people is kinda my gift, like throwing things is yours. I’m not sure if you’d be able to do it correctly without hurting someone.”Then that stupid eye does the seductive wink thing again, and I snap.
“Wink at me again, and I’ll stab out your good eye.”
“God, you’re so feisty. I love it.”
“Look, Damien. I need this, okay? Phantom’s falling for Autumn more each day, and I need him to remember why he loves me. The only way I can do that is by getting close to him again. I can’t do that on my own. And you’re the only ghost within a room’s radius that can help me. So, will you do it? Can you help me learn to possess?”
He glances towards Krueger, who’s been eavesdropping this whole time. He doesn’t say anything, but he must’ve done something to deter him, because Damien declines.“Sorry, Dollface, no can do.”
“This is your doing, isn’t it?”I shout at Krueger, whipping around to face him.“Why can’t you just let me have this?”
Krueger moves across the room, then gently grasps my shoulders.“Because it’s for your own good, Eve. You’re already getting too powerful. If you dabble in possession, it becomes easier for the Dark Ones to feed on your soul. I can’t let that happen. As weird as it sounds, I’m a little fond of you. You’re like a daughter to me.”
If I were a sentimental ghost, I’d probably melt at his words, but instead, they fuel my desire to possess people more.
“I’ll do it on my own then. I’ll learn how to possess someone without you two!”
Damien laughs.“Good luck with that, Dollface. It’s not as easy as it looks.”
But neither one of them knows how determined Eve can be. I’ll show them. I’ll show everyone. You should never underestimate a woman on a mission.
My tether to Phantom has gotten a bit longer. Now I can move to almost the end of the hallway without being thrown backwards. Which is perfect, because my second favorite club member is about to fuck a cute little Annie, and I’m gonna join them.
Creeper smoothly maneuvers her behind the door, suavely closing it behind him. Her nickname is Esther, but I only find that out when he seductively says it in her ear.
“You ready for some dick, Esther?”
