Chapter Text
Jentry walked up the steps of Gugu's house, tired and anxious. Today had been a roller-coaster of emotions and all she wanted was a long night's sleep in her soft comfy bed away from anything supernatural.
The keys jingled as she slid them into the handle of the door. Before she could unlock it, the door swung open ripping the handle from her grasp.
The next thing she knew she was in Micheal's strong, warm embrace. She wrapped her arms around him and melted into his grasp, feeling all the weight of the day fall off her shoulders, consumed by his warmth.
"I was so worried when you didn't come with us after the fight, I just needed to make sure you were okay," Micheal said with his chin on her head, squeezing her tighter into the embrace.
Jentry hugged him harder in return, cherishing his warmth before releasing her grip to look up and face him. "Thank you," Jentry said with a somber voice "I really needed that." She says with a chuckle as tears pool in her eyes. "No problem," Micheal says kissing Jentry softly on the forehead.
After saying goodbye to Micheal for the 5th time in an hour and enduring a lecture from Gugu about staying out so late, Jentry could finally go to her room and just relax.
Jentry opened the door to her room taking in the brightly decorated walls untouched from her childhood. Downstairs she heard the familiar sound of Gugu and Ed cooking (arguing) noisily and the rest of the ghosts doing random noisy activities. God, it was good to have her powers back.
Without them, the house felt empty and quiet, like the house itself was dead. But now it felt alive again and Jentry couldn't feel more at home.
Jentry tugged on the little metal rope of the desk lamp allowing the room to be swallowed by darkness. As she lay on her bed staring up at the spinning ceiling fan while her eyes attempted to adjust to the newfound darkness, she was slowly drifting off to sleep.
"Jentry." Kit's voice echoed throughout her mind "Jentry wake up." she looked around to see where the voice was coming from but all that was there was darkness, and then Jentry saw it. A large white door at the end of a hall, she couldn't tell what it was but deep down she knew,
"That's the way out."
Jentry ran down the dark black hallway. Kit's voice still rang throughout her mind telling her to wake up but the more she ran the farther the door became. Before she even had time to catch her breath the floor collapsed beneath her, and as she fell, she saw Kit reaching down, offering his hand as a way up. "Jentry."
She grabbed his hand and pulled herself up and before she could comprehend what just happened, she was back in her room.
Gasping she sits up straight, cold sweat running down her hands and face, mind running as to what the actual fuck that was. She brushes her hand through her hair, wiping some of the sweat from her forehead in the process.
"Jentry?"
She froze. That wasn't just in her head this time, no she heard it. Her heartbeat quickened and her anxiety ran.
Where was it coming from? Who is in my room?
As she stared pensively into the darkness of her room small blue glowing orb became ever so slightly visible in the black murkiness. As her eyes adjusted the glowing became larger and more detailed, features defining under her glare.
She couldn't believe it, how was it even possible and why of all places was he in my bedroom!
Still squinting from the lack of light, Jentry moved forward. "Kit?" She said reaching out to touch the spirit hovering above her bed. "Is that you?"
beep! beep! beep! beep!
Her alarm was going off.
Was that all just a dream?
She thinks blinking sleepily into the morning light. She yawned and stretched before sliding out of bed and walking to the bathroom.
But it felt so real.
Turning on the shower she checked the temperature before undressing and stepping in.
I'll ask Gugu about it later, she might know.
Walking back into her room dressed in nothing but a bathrobe she searched her closet for something to wear, after picking out a shirt she walked to her mirror to see how it would look. Behind her, she sees Kit's human skin face approaching her from behind.
Without a second thought, a fiery fist goes straight through the glass alongside a horrified scream.
"Jentry! It's just me! Calm down!" Kit's voice says coming from behind her.
Jentry slowly turns around to face him, the shirt hits the floor as wide watery eyes meet dead glowing ones.
"What the actual fuck."
