The Patient (Closed)

[Sweetp4u]

OOC: This is a closed thread for Tibvo and Myself, but do feel free to PM comments and read along.

Prologue:

Lissa had grown up in a broken home. She and her older brother struggled daily just to live. Their mother, an abusive alcoholic, made their lives hell every chance she got. Their father ran off with some waitress when she was just six months old. Coming home from the service, he felt he could play a little. They had married quite young and they never really did grow up. It shown in how her children were raised and how they each took a path down the wrong way.

She was at first a good student, earning grades the highest in her class, wanting to hear the appraisals from her teachers, the words she longed so badly to hear from her own mother. They never came.

It was just before high school she was taken and placed into foster care. Although her brother was grown and gone from the home by then, he was also unfit to raise her and care for her. This was hard to deal with. Her mother swearing she did not want her anymore, her father saying the same. The state had no choice but to send her to the Mitchel's.

At first she was hurting, unable to eat and sleep, but it wasn't long before the jealousy bug kicked in. The Mitchel's were the 'family next door' you always see in shows on T.V.
Happy, loving, church. All of it. Their kids knew no pain or hunger. Heard no mean words from their parents, in fact they had both! So when she was accused of stealing something from the Mitchel's daughter, tried and convicted in their eyes without a shred of proof, she lost it.

She turned to stealing, lying, skipping school and sleeping around. She failed everything because she never went. She was fired from jobs and so forth all in a single year. When they busted her for snatching a pack of gum from the local gas station, she was again shipped off to a new home.

Each time it was the same thing, the same way. Nothing changing for three long years. Her final year of highschool and a violent rape later, she did straighten up. But it was too late. Her current Foster parents wanted her gone the day she graduated. She had turned 18 just the week before that, so when graduation day came and no one was there to take her picture. She knew she had to go else where, start over. Only if it were that simple.

She spent a few years on the streets, although she wasn't selling her body, she was into the drug scene and into anything illegal. She worked part time jobs for a few weeks at a time, slept on park benches and sometimes had enough to stay in a hotel for awhile. Again, downhill. She ended up pregnant with some guy's kid that she couldn't even put a name too (thanks to a party and a lot of pot!)

Suffering a miscarriage at four months along, again due to drugs, she knew that again, she'd have to move. She hitch hiked her way, sometimes barely escaping another rape until she got to where she felt she could do better. A small New York state town, and NO ONE knew her....

Entering a college there, she worked her way through, trying hard to keep her nose clean and her grades up. When her final year began, and she had it smooth sailing, it was again she screwed up. Only this time it was far far worse...

~New Years Eve 1999~

"DANNY! DAMMIT!" She cursed at her drunk boyfriend again and again. He was the classic playboy. Captain of the football team, parent's crowning achievement, and absolutely stupid! She had agreed to accompany him to this college party, although everyone was much younger than she was, She ended up carting his drunk ass out the door. This was no way for a twenty-seven year old to be behaving, she was lecturing herself for being so stupid.

It didn't help that he was the DD that night. He was supposed to be driving her home safely! She had only a few drinks, and felt fine. So when he offered to drive, she tossed her drink into the sink and ran out to catch up to him. It was still an hour before midnight and he was too damned drunk to breath without her aid.

"NO! I will drive Danny, please, get into the passenger side." She moved around his camero and climbed inside. He staggered a little, wobbling and glaring. "Heyyyy.. yewshhh can't be seen..in mah car Lis.."
"Oh shut up Danny! Everyone knows you brought me."
"Oh yeah!" He broke out laughing as if this was the funniest thing in his life!?
She had to be drunk because she giggled along with him. "Alright, lets go." She turned over the car and opened the door for him. Climbing inside, he tried to lay across the bucket seats and rest his head in her lap.
"I'm so damned tired Lis.." he grumbled.
"Shhh, we'll be there soon.. It's only five blocks. We'll be fine.." She checked her mirrors and pulled out into the street just as the light rain began to fall. It had been thundering all day, it was about time it emptied. Only this was too damned cold to add ice to the problem!
"Shit Danny!! Doesn't the defrost work?" She fiddled with buttons, heading towards a green light. Danny sat upright, blocking her view, the light changed to yellow.
"HEY! Better hurry!" he said in a sing-song manner.
"Danny move!" She shoved on him, trying to see around him a little easier. Her face went pale, everything slowed to a crawl.
"DANNY!" She cried out, her foot trying to slam on the breaks. The light was red, not yellow. The car was sliding, Danny was in her way and there was a Mercedes in the intersection. That is basically the last thing she clearly remembered, praying, squealing tires, and fading vision. Blurred sight and bells all around her. Sirens blaring, someone was dead, another critically injured....

August 2000~

"How is she?" A nurse asked as the LPN checked the chart again.
"Same as always." The woman took a count of her heart beating and checked her eyes for dilation or lack there of.
"How long has she been like this?" the new trainee was curious, the young woman looked to be in perfect health.
"Awhile, 7 or 8 months I believe." the nurse counted, watching her wrist watch as she did so. It was like second nature to this long time veteran. She could do many things and still keep accurate count of a heart beat.
"Why is she lingering in a coma?"
"Who knows. The doctors aren't really sure." The elder woman began to pump up the little tester for blood pressure and watched it as well.
"Was she critical when they brought her in?"
"Not to my recollection. There was a huge accident, no one is sure who caused it, but she was one of several injured."
"That's so sad. Any family or friends come see her? Thought of that to wake her up?" The trainee felt bad for the young woman but the elder one just snorted.
"We use conventional medicine here, not therapy for the soul." The elder woman looked down at her charts, checked a few boxes and folded the clipboard in her arms to rest against her small chest.
"Her name is Melissa Ann Randall. She's twenty- eight years old. Her birthday just a few months ago. No head injury that could be found, nothing broken, no allergies and no next of kin. She was a college student, close to graduating when this happened. In fact her class is graduating tomorrow from the college. Would you like to know her blood type?" The elder woman was a tad upset with so many questions being thrown her way. After all, the trainee showed no interest in any of the other patients, but this one she did. Why? Was she unethical in the work place? She wondered for a moment if she might need to check on this trainee's back ground a bit more, just to make sure this new comer would uphold the honor of this established, tasteful, hospital?
"Oh no, it's just that she looks familiar to me for some reason." The trainee blushed a little, the elder woman had a stern sour face, it was a little upsetting to be stared at like that.
"Is.. Ahemm.. is there other coma patients in this hospital?"
"Yes, but in the children's ward. No other adults but Miss. Lissa here."
"Lissa?" The trainee wondered how the nurse knew a nickname?
"Yes Lissa. It was on an engraved locket around her neck when she was brought in that night. Anyway, we talk to them time to time, using their nick names and familiarity to, in hopes, bring them out of it."
"Ah, yes. That makes sense."
"Alright, let me go show you how we file here on the 3rd floor." Their voices faded away as they left Lissa's room and moved to the nurses station..

Odd? She doesn't remember any accident? She rose from the bed and stood looking around. She wanted to laugh, she felt fine! What were they talking about? Turning she glanced down at the bed and froze in fear.
But how?! Her.. She was.. HOLY COW!

Her body lay in the bed, breathing in and out, still asleep.. And yet she stood here beside herself? She got scared suddenly that she might be dying and hurried to jump back into her own body. Only, she went through it and ended up on the floor.
She gasped, but it sounded funny? She felt no pain, nor the cold from the floor on her? And she did not keep falling through?
Her eyes wide, she sat there under the bed, too terrified to move. Too afraid of seeing her body again in the bed, lying there lifeless like. Sometime later, a nice shiny pair of black shoes came walking in. She listened as the chart was lifted and the sound of a pen scratching against paper sounded. Peeking out, she realized it was the doctor.

Felix

Felix can hardly suppress the yawn as he closes the storeroom door behind. It has been a long day but finally his shift has come to an end.

"Nurse!"

He doesn't have to look round to recognise the loud voice of the Head Nurse.

"Nurse Zimmerman." He acknowledges with a false smile.

"The bed in Room 342 needs changing. We need it for a new patient tonight." The senior nurse is practically gone by the time she has finished her sentence.

For a moment, Felix considers going after her to tell her that his shift has ended and could someone else do it. But he knows what the answer would be. A lecture about the virtues of dedication.

Besides, what's the point?

Instead he heads off to get fresh bed linens, bumping into a group of fellow nurses on the way.

"Felix! We are heading off to Heratios. Fancy coming along?"

This is not the first time he has been invited out, nor is it the first time he finds an excuse not to go.

"I still got some work to do." He says simply.

"Don't tell me the Old Crone has given you some last minute work?" Liz, an attractive black nurse asks.

Felix doesn't have to say anything to give an answer.

"Oh, Felix. You shouldn't let her take liberties like this. You know she only does it to you because you don't argue back. You are too soft for your own good."

Felix just shrugs.

"Look. Come anyway. We will wait."

Felix smiles and automatically turns her down.

"I really don't feel like it tonight, Liz. Some other time?"

"Yeah, yeah, yeah. We have heard that before." Stepping away from the others, Liz grabs Felix's arm and pulls him to one side.

"I'm worried about you, Felix. It has almost been a year now and all I have seen you do is come here, work your shift and then go home again. Before, you used to be so...."

"Look, I don't want to talk about it." He says, interrupting her. "Anyway, I got to get this done. I will see you tomorrow. "

Turning his back on them, he continues on to Room 342...

Lissa

The shiney shoes left and for awhile nothing could be heard nor seen from her perch under the bed. Fear laced through her, thinking she was dead some how, and trapped forever on this earth in a hospital of all places.
She felt sad, lonely and confused. Why was she still in this bed asleep? She had been listening as each time someone came in and checked her charts and vitals, nothing remotely interesting or telling came to her ears. She was lost, plain and simple.
She finally came out from under the bed, but what seemed like hours had actually been two weeks. She had sat there that long? She had not realized the time passed this quickly. How was it possible? Many things confused her, once she had made a sound and a nurse had been in the room. The woman stopped doing everything above and searched the room, calling out for whomever was in here with her.
Only no one was in the room but Lissa.

Looking out into the room, she looked up at the clock. Midnight. There were few sounds in the hospital at this time, and she seen no one walking around. Deciding it was safe to come out, she stood and moved back towards her body. As she thought before, no machines to keep her alive, nothing looked broken or damaged. In fact she could see nothing wrong at all.. So why the coma?

A noise caught her attention, the shuffling of feet some where near by? Turning, she moved out into the hallway and glanced down one way and then the other. No one was about, the lights were dimmed, and all seemed peaceful. Again the shuffling of feet were heard. Walking, then stopping. Walking and stopping. This drew her attention in the general direction it was coming from. Moving down the hall, she paused and listened whenever it stopped and moved to follow when it was heard again.

Curious. She peeked around the door frame into an empty room. There was a single man in there, slowly straightening up the room, making the bed it appeared as well? She moved to stand in the door way, wondering if he would see her? He came towards her and her courage faded. She jumped aside and watched him retrieve a spray bottle with something in it and a rag. He moved back inside and sprayed everything down in the small adjacent bathroom. She again stood in the door way, watching him intently move about the room. He was quiet, he listened to no music and he worked methodically. She turned her head to gaze down the hallway when the man walked through her to his cart.

She gasped outright and jumped to the side, feeling something strange about this. She tingled everywhere, yet she had no body? She held out her hands and looked at the ghostly likeness, it felt like it was radiating heat from her. Her chest rose and fell quickly as she pressed against the wall, she opened her eyes to see the man moving about his work again. Apparently he did not notice when he passed through her? She watched him out of curiousity until the room was done.

Planning on moving on to explore, she couldn't seem to draw her attention away from this man nor his eyes. "What can it hurt?" She spoke, but it was not words nor moving lips, but thoughts in her mind. She followed him to the next vacant room, looming behind him and watching what he did with interest. It wasn't what he was doing, but he himself that drew her attention. He was handsome but not overly so. He was nice looking, in a boyish kind of way. Innocent almost? Or perhaps it was the sadness in his eyes? It was something that kept her eyes glued to his face, his movements.

She tried to speak to him only twice before giving up, he did not know she was there, nor did he go anywhere near her room. Time slipped by as she followed him room to room, watching him, trying to speak to him as well. He gave no notion that he even knew she was there?

"Hello?" She whispered into his ear, or so she thought she had but her lips would not move? She tried a few times to pick up something as well (having seen many ghost movies) and no luck there either. She was about to give up when she got upset and waved her hands infront of his face. This caused a stack of cups to tumble over from his cart and land on the floor. Wide eyed and mouth agape, she watched with interest and then searched the man's face for a reaction to this oddity. She smiled inside and out, she had moved something! She didn't know how, but she did it.

Perhaps there was hope for her after all?

Felix

"Good night, Felix." Says the security guard as Felix finally leaves the hospital building.

"Night, Juan."

Getting into his pontiac, he heads off for home, dropping off at the local convenience store on the way to pick up some food and other items. Before too long, he has parked in his usual spot and is humping the bags up to his apartment, situated at the top of a converted warehouse.

"I'm home!" He announces as he comes through the door. Going straight into the kitchen, he places the bags on the table and starts to unpack.

"Sorry for being late but Old Zimmerman got me to stay back again. Yeah, I know I shouldn't let her push me around like that."

He places the various items he has bought in their allocated compartments.

"Have you already had something to eat? You have? Okay. I'm just going to have a beer. Yeah! I know I should have something but am just too tired."

Grabbing a beer from the fridge, he heads for the couch.

"So how was your day?"...

 

[Sweetp4u]

Lissa

She roamed none too far the first while, hoping that she could get into her body, she tried daily to lay back down only to end up on the floor under the same bed. And at night she would roam the halls of the quiet hospital to find the one man who worked here. She did not know more than his first name, having heard another greet him as he came on shift one afternoon. But there was something about him that called to her.

She followed him around, trying to talk to him, trying to talk to anyone really, but no one could hear her. In the nursery she could wave to the babies and get a smile, they could see her but the adults could not. It broke her heart more and more to wander so aimlessly around. What did it mean? Why was she trapped like this?

On days her temper would rear it's ugly head, she would storm wildly in anger, swinging her hands out, lashing at things in which she only passed through. Battling against nothing until her anger left her and she crumpled to the floor in defeat once again.
"WHY!?" She would shout, only it did not echo, it did not carry. She was truely nothing.

Three weeks passed much the same, she got down to a routine and knew the routine of all those who worked here.
"Hi Norene." She said as she passed a nurse in the hall, not expecting a responce from the woman since Lissa was never heard anyway.
"Hi Dale." She passed the guard who stood watch, but flirted mostly. She moved around the corner, her steps matching those of the elderly nurse she followed, mimiced like a clown.
"Hello Nurse Jones." She said in passing as the elderly woman turned into the nursery. "Good bye Nurse Jones."

She stopped at the pop and candy machines, eyeing a Twix candy bar, wishing with everything she had she could just have one! Just one, and taste it, hold it. She was never hungry, but her mind kept telling her she was. It annoyed her, she couldn't pick up anything to eat if she wanted to!

She paused, Felix was coming on duty. Smiling, she whirled around and moved down the hall, turning and twisting. Door after door she came and went through until she hit the employee locker rooms. She stood inside, watching him as she did often.

"Good afternoon, Felix." She whispered, moving up close to look at him. She stood just inches from his face, her eyes on his. He stared off at nothing really, just buttoned his shirt and tucked it in. "Why are you so sad?" She asked. "Why do you look so haunted? What happened to you?" She sighed in frustration, watching him leave to go collect his cart and begin his clean ups.

She stood in the employee locker room alone, wondering why her? Moving off, she followed Felix a little while, making conversation but always unheard. He never responded to her, he never looked at her, in fact she doubted he ever looked at anyone he didn't absolutely have to look at. Why? Shouldn't he be happy? He wore a wedding ring, he never strayed, don't unhappy married men stray? Perhaps it was the job?

"Good morning, Cindy. She said in a cheery tone as they entered a little girls room. This little girl had some kind of cancer and was being treated, as she was each wednesday, here in this ward. She would go in, they did something to her, she would come back and sleep for awhile before going home sick. Lissa felt pain for this girl, she looked happy on the outside but inside Lissa could see Cindy's sorrow. Cindy wanted to be like normal children, do normal things. Not sit here in this cold sterile empty place and pretend she was adult enough to handle it all. Cindy's head lifted from the bed as her brows furrowed slightly.

Lissa stopped moving and watched the child look at her."Oh my god!" She was looking directly at Lissa?!

"You shouldn't swear, you will go to a bad place if you do." Cindy said out loud and Lissa stopped all movement and speech. Felix glanced up as did Cindy. Did he see Lissa or was he looking where Cindy was? Trying to see?
"Sorry." Lissa spoke softly, her whole being seemed to come alive with little electric sparks.. Someone had heard her!
"You are forgiven." Cindy said matter-of-factly.
"Can you see me?" Her breath held, even though she wasn't honestly breathing.
"Yes, why wouldn't I be able to see you?" She asked Lissa this like she was dense.
"Ask Felix if he can see me." Her eyes moved to the man staring at the child curiously.
"Who is Felix?" Cindy asked, still staring at Lissa. "I like your hair, it's very pretty. My doll looks alot like you, her name is Britney." Cindy held up a doll to show Lissa, but to everyone else, she was waving her doll around before nothing.
Lissa stared not at Britney or Cindy but at Felix who was shaking his head as he worked. Perhaps he felt Cindy was mentally disturbed?
"Cindy, I must go now. You be strong ok?" Cindy nodded her head and smiled, cuddling the doll back against her. "Come back and see me again?" Lissa could only nod her head that she would come again.
"What is your name?" The child did not care if anyone seen her talking to the woman, it was normal to her.
"Call me Lissa." Lissa's eyes stayed on Felix only a moment longer before turning her attention back to Cindy.
"That's a pretty name, Lissa. Bye now." Cindy waved the doll's hand as Lissa turned and fled the room.

She did flee, she was scared out of her wits now. How could this child see her but no one else? It wasn't the same as the babies, Cindy had to be seven or eight years old. So why her? Why only her? Lissa had approached many people of all ages and no one had responded up until know.. Was that a good sign or a bad sign? Back safely in her room, she huddled under her bed, trying to think of a reason only Cindy could see and hear her? Perhaps Cindy would be her key to healing? If Cindy could only tell people what Lissa needed done... The idea had some merit but Cindy was not here often enough to be of too much use. The girl was sick after all, but it was hope! If Cindy could see and hear her, perhaps if she tried harder and truely cared enough to be heard, she would be?

 

[Tibxo]

Felix

"Do you think the pretty woman will come back?" The little girl ask Felix as he tucks her into bed.

"Which pretty woman?" He asks. Normally, he never really speaks to the patients. Well, not anymore.

"Lissa." She tells him. "Didn't you see her?"

For a moment, something in the little girl touches him but almost immediately he draws away.

"I was...busy." He says. It is quite normal for a girl her age to have an imaginery friend. Especially this one. In all the time she has been there, he doesn't remember ever seeing anyone visiting her. No friends, no family.

For a moment, he feels anger welling up inside over the injustice of it all. Such a nice kid and no-one cares. Then realising where his thoughts, his feelings are heading, he quickly shuts them down.

"Well?" Asks Cindy again. "Do you think she will?"

"You get some sleep. You are tired." He tells her and quickly leaves the room....

 

[Sweetp4u]

Lissa

She didn't stay under her bed for long, Felix was out there working, needing her.. or so she believed. He looked as if he needed someone to talk too, someone to laugh with. She knew she needed someone to help her, someone to help her live again.

Struggling through life had taught her allot, most she did not want to remember, but one thing she did know was depression when she seen it. Felix was suffering from a deep depression or something close to it. But why he was unhappy was unknown to her. He was a hard man to read, too quiet to get hints from and he did not see her as Cindy had. He was young and healthy, he had a good job here, well it was better than working at a gas
station for little next to nothing each week.

She had to admit it, Felix was a handsome man, but that isn't what drew her to him time after time, night after night. His eyes haunted her as much as whatever he had burdening inside. She glanced around her room from her position on the floor and scooted out from under the bed. She would go back and try again to speak with him. She had to. It wasn't something she had been told, just something she knew had to be done.

She walked quietly down the hall, her mind already telling her Felix had dismissed completely what Cindy had said. He probably chalked it up to some imaginary friend or mental stress. Whatever he called it, she knew he didn't believe it. Until it happened to her, she did not believe in spirits either. Now look at her? Roaming around ghostly like and no real way to correct whatever was wrong with her.

She spotted him down the hall a few doors, cleaning a new room. Pausing at the nurse’s station, she almost didn't want to keep going at this weird game. Felix vanished into the room with his mop bucket and she moved forward a few steps towards the room. She wanted to go and watch him but two voices caught her attention.

"You talk to Felix for me?" A blonde nurse was questioning Jen, one of the night shifts nurses.
"Shhhhhhh!" Jen glanced down the hall where Felix was working. "Let's take a break in the lounge, where prying ears can't listen in... " Jen motioned to Carly to follow her and headed down the adjacent hall.

Wondering what was up, Lissa almost dismissed it and went to Felix but at that last second changed her mind. Turning she ran down the hall and barely made it into the lounge before the door shut on her. She stood back against the wall, watching the two women take seats and Jen light herself a cigarette.

So why were they talking about Felix and who was this blonde?

"Wouldn't you like to talk about your vacation?" Jen tried to detour the conversation.

"No, I'd like to hear if Felix accepted the offer or not?" Carly scooted forward on her chair and leaned over the tabletop into Jen's face. "Come on, tell me!" She grinned her knee bouncing as if she was anxious.

Lissa moved closer and sat in the chair, watching both women, again wondering what they were talking about?

"JEN! What's up with 'our' boy?!" Carly whined again, her red lips parting as she pleaded. Lissa hated red lipstick. She folded her arms over her chest and sat back, not liking this Carly, not liking her at all.

"Carly, you've got to stop flirting with him. There is a reason he keeps turning you down, you just don't know since you're new here.. and he isn't 'our' anything!" Jen inhaled and exhaled with alot of noise, obviously she was annoyed with Carly as well.

"What's there to know?" Carly made a habit out of sleeping with married men as a pass time, Felix was not out of her league regardless if he ignored her or not. She just would work harder!

"His wife?" Jen blurted out.

"So? I know he's married..." Carly stole a cigarette from Jen and lit it up.

"He isn't married."

"But you just said-"

"Listen Carly, hell. Okay but you aren't to bring this up to him, nor that you heard it from me? Ok?"

"Yeah, I understand." Carly crossed her heart and tried to appear innocent.

"She died in an accident... about nine months ago, or ten. I know it was last winter."

"He isn't married?!" Both Lissa and Carly gasped this response at the same time. Stunned completely to learn that bit of news.

"Oh how terrible.. pooor baby.." Carly made a pouty face and Lissa felt her shock ease up a bit before her temper sparked a little. That woman had NO morals! How she wished she could wipe that smug look off of Carly's face!

Lissa had believed him to be married all this time, when instead he was widowed?? She didn't know what to think about this, it was a little shocking, but it was a common thing too. Widows did wear their wedding rings, whether their spouse was living or... She couldn't say the word, feeling it was sacrilegious or something against the dead. She felt pain however, pain inside her head and figured it to be heartache over his loss.

Jen knew Carly's type enough to know that woman did not feel the least bit upset to learn there was no Mrs. Felix around. Lissa just wanted to wipe that smug look off of Carly's face. She did not like her at all, something about Carly sent off warning signals. Maybe it was ... Nah, Lissa would not be jealous over some dyed Slut!

"Well he still loves his wife, visits her often, and I am sure he misses her too. He hasn't been the same since the accident that night, nor do I think he has dated anyone. And I did invite him to your party this weekend but he made excuses as always. Something about a cat to take care of, or a dog."

"How long ago did she die?"

"I told you already, about eight or nine months ago.. Why?" Jen stubbed out her cigarette, fixing Carly with a 'bored' look.

Carly was doing the math inside her head and gave a small shrug. "He hasn't been with anyone since?"

"HOW would I know that Carly?" Jen rolled her eyes and Lissa glared harder, her hands fisting up a little more. Jen felt a blush raise in her face. She liked Felix but not in that way. Since working here, she's been more like a relative to Felix than any one else. No, jen was not going to think of him in that manner, but it was apprent Carly was.

Carly licked her lips suggestively and winked at Jen, "I bet by now he is achin' for some lovin'.." Jen said nothing, although her eyes widened a little. Lissa however did not feel so inclined, gasping again she swung at the woman's face, feeling contrite in Felix's place for being talked about like a piece of meat!

Carly leaned forward as Lissa swung, her hand missing Carly's face but caught her hair and flipping it back.

Jerking around, Carly's startled eyes looked around behind her. "D-do you feel a breeze?" She stammered as her eyes shifted back and forth. Carly suddenly had a feeling she was being watched and it was by unfriendly eyes. She shivered a little, perhaps Felix's dead ol' broad didn't like her eyeing him?

"Ahh.. No?" Jen looked at Carly's pale face and curiously asked "Why?" Her lips twitched a little trying not to laugh at Carly's weird behavior.

"Oh.. no reason. I thought I felt something in my hair...? Oh never mind!" She snapped at jen, recognizing the mirth in her fellow worker's eyes.

Lissa stood there dumbfounded. She had touched Carly's hair? But....How?!

The door opened and Lissa took her cue to go, glaring once more at Carly before leaving that horrible gossip center. She had to find Felix, something soothing on her mind instead of what she had just learned.

She searched and found him in the locker room again, stripping down and changing out of his work clothes. She studied his face as usual, her vow still the same. "I am going to help you Felix, whether you want me to or not." unbidden her eyes traveled down his body. She had never done this before, so focused was her attention on his face, she got the full enchilada tonight as he stood upright naked. Flushing, she felt like a pervert and hurried to turn her back to him.

"Oh god! I am turning into a peeper!" She ran her hand over her face and took deep even breaths of air. She didn't know why she looked! Carly must have started her thinking on something she hadn't thought of before. Not because of how he looked, he was damned sexy as Carly hinted at, it was just that his soulful eyes captured her. Now she was peeping at his private parts!? Good hell, she was losing it.

She shook her head, ignoring those thoughts and thinking on the other things. Felix was her reason for being here. A good deed or something. Had to be it. Right? She seen enough movies and tv series to know how it went. If she wanted into heaven she'd have to do a good deed, and face it.. Felix would be a good deed. If she could bring him out of this funk. Cindy could be her good deed, but she also knew Cindy didn't draw her attention night after night, shift after shift. It was Felix. Cindy in her own way drew Lissa's attention, but she knew the second Felix stepped into the building and felt it the second he left.

She was here for Felix. She would not believe anything else!

"Good night, Felix. Until tomorrow..." She didn't turn around to face him again, she kept her back straight and moved off towards her room again. She'd think more on this tonight, perhaps make rounds and visit Cindy again?

Her mind on Felix, she unknowingly wandered into Cindy's room instead of her own. Hearing the soft crying she stopped and looked up. Cindy lay curled on her side, her face pale and blotchy. She had been crying awhile, but why?

"What's wrong beautiful?" She gave a tender smile and moved towards the bed. Cindy new who it was from her voice and sniffled out a reply, "I want to go ho-home." the child sobbed again and curled up tighter.

"Hey now Princess, you'll be home tomorrow right?" Her heart ached for the child, wanting to hold her and assure her things would be all right. Both her parents worked long hours, neither could afford much time off, Cindy's grandmother brought her and left her at the hospital then returned her home each week.
"I don't like bein' h-here a-a-alone." She rubbed her nose across her nightgown sleeve and shifted a little on the bed. "Will you stay wi-with me?" Cindy looked up at Lissa with those eyes and Lissa knew she couldn't say no.

Smiling, she nodded and climbed up on the bed without a second thought. Laying down beside the girl, she grabbed her into a bear hug and smiled, "For you princess.. I'll stay all night!" She hugged the girl and felt her little body twist in her arms, fiercely hugging Lissa back.
This was a strange feeling, but she held to the little girl and felt tears on her own cheeks. Of course ghosts can't cry but it felt like she was. It made no difference, she'd keep the girls nightmares away.
"Thank you!" Cindy whispered, her tiny arms hanging on tightly.
"Anything for my favorite girl.. now close your eyes and get some sleep... Tomorrow you and Britney go home."

Things were happening quickly now, things that felt so real it had to be. Didn't it? The hug felt very real, the warmth of the bed and the little body hugging hers. It all felt real, even the pain in her center for the child's tears.

Laying on the bed, sitting in a chair. The fact that she had flipped up Carly's hair, all of it. Cindy seen her. Something was working here, something powerful. But what? Again the answer came to her, "Felix." She spoke his name aloud but softly for Cindy was asleep against her and Lissa did not wish to wake the child.
He had to be the key to this, all of it. The more she was around Felix, the more she learned and the more she desired it, things happened. It started with Cindy's belief in her and kept getting better and better. Now to make Felix see her, hear her. If she wanted it badly enough, she could do it.. Right?
She didn't know who she was asking for answers, but somewhere inside she got her answer... Right!

When morning came and before everyone arrived, she said her good byes to Cindy until next time and helped the girl pack. Cindy wouldn't be back for a week or two, but she was looking forward to her 'angel' visiting her.

"I am no angel my dear.."

"Sure you are! No one can see you but me.. Oh and Britney."

Lissa gave up arguing and seen the girl on her way. Moving back to her own room, she did not hide under the bed this time, she sat down in the chair by the window and thought about all she had learned and what she felt she needed to do?

Jen and Carly entered her room, taking vitals and going over up coming vacation time for this floor.

"Looks like your seduction is going to be put on hold awhile." Jen said softly. "He's going on vacation soon."

"Hey, he has to come in til then and he does get paid each week, I'll see him off and on." Carly smiled, adjusting Melissa's bedding.

"Don't you ever give up?" Jen again rolled her eyes, it reminded Lissa of some teenager's disease, eye'rolling'itis.

"Not when there is an attractive, single, very single man abouts. This town isnt that big! I need me a man too ya know, and I hear Felix was a gentleman.."

"Is a gentleman.."

"Whatever." Carly took the chart and changed the papers for the new day.

"You are sick Carly, married or single, you like'm all!" Jen laughed, shaking her head before walking back out of Lissa's room.

Vacation!?" Lissa moved like lightening into the office and grabbed the calendar. A stunned secretary felt her face drain of all colour as the calendar began to float.

Sure enough, Jen was right! Felix was due at the end of the week for a two week vacation with pay. Throwing it over her shoulder, she glared at the wall and stood with her hands on her hips thinking... Now what? The secretary screeched and fell backwards in her chair, papers went flying all over but Lissa paid no mind to the commotion, she was used to being unseen.
"Damn, now what am I going to do!?" Turning, she stalked back off to her room, landing hard in the chair, she kicked her legs over the arm and stared out the window... Now what?! She had to think of something and fast.

Felix

Two weeks later...

"I'm not sure I want to go." He says to Liz as they work together changing the sheets of a bed.

"And why not, Felix?" The black nurse says as she throws the dirty bed lining into the large hamper. "You haven't had a break all year as well as been working double shifts. You deserve this. "

She pauses for a moment.

"Besides, I had to pull some major favours to get you that log cabin for the fortnight."

He gives a slight smile though not for the first time is he doubting his decision about going. But then again, he could use a break and he always liked the big outdoors. Maybe then he wouldn't feel so...

"Hey?? You haven't answered me." She is standing on the other side, her hands on her hips.

"Erm. Sorry. What did you say?"

"I said that right after the end of this shift this afternoon, I will come home with you and make sure you get packed and going."

"You don't have to do that." Felix objects.

"I know what you're like. You will just sit at home and not go."

"Of course I will go." He says but can't help feeling how hollow it sounds.

"Sure you will. I will make you."

Realising that he has no real choice, he continues on his work...

 

[Sweetp4u]

Lissa

She had to do it, no questions about it. She had to follow Felix some how. It wasn't a question of wanting to, it was an urgent have to for some reason. The second he appeared on the floor she was transported some how right to him.

It frightened her at first, sitting in her room in the chair and suddenly she was in the locker room. Paniced some what she jumped up and gasped in surprise, and still Felix did not know she was there, or he gave no sign of knowing she was there?

Why was she drawn to him? She felt compelled to seek him out, to follow and watch him. Everything in her being cried out for her to touch him, hold him. WHY?

"Felix?" She spoke aloud standing before him, watching him tie each of his shoes firmly. "Felix?" She tried yet again.

Inside the room the "f" sound of his name echoed so softly it could barely be considered a whispered sound. She watched him tense a moment and look up and around the room. Shrugging it off he went back to tying his last shoe and his over coat in place.

She followed him the entire morning until it was time for him to change and clock out. She moved into her room, staring at her pale face as she lay in the coma. "I have to do this.."

She sensed Felix moving, towards the elevators, trepidation settled over her, she had purposely avoided that contraption for a reason! Moving quickly she was there the second the door opened, her eyes glued to the floor as she tentively balanced on one foot and touched it just inside the doors. Felix stepped inside and waited for the doors to close, but unlike him the doors did not shut on Lissa.

"Wait Felix!" The nurse called out who he had spoken to earlier. His hand instantly hit the door to keep it open as the woman came running towards him. "Whew! I almost didn't make it, thanks." She flashed Felix a friendly smile and stepped into the back corner.

"Its now or never!" Placing her foot firmly on the floor she was relieved to find she did not fall through! Sighing, her entity shaking, she stood inside as the doors finally closed.

"That took forever, we should have service check these elevators more often..." The nurse made comment. There was no conversation as the elevator sank the three floors down and into the basement parking structure.

"I will follow you to your place in my own car Felix, so don't lose me, okay?" She was teasing and smiled as she moved off to locate her own car.

Silently she followed Felix, fear that at any second she would be sucked back up to her body and left for two weeks by herself. technically she wasn't alone but Felix was what drew her like none other had before.

She eyed his car as he slid inside, shutting her out. Her teeth worried her bottom lip as she eyed the passenger door. There was no way she was going to be able to open that door, not in reality anyway. She focused her mind and moved, her hand felt cold and the metal felt real enough, but when she looked she could clearly see her hand inside the car.

Yanking her hand back out, she shuddered from head to toe. It was a feeling she could not explain really, but it felt desolate and cold, almost painful. Her entity passing through this metal box was going to be a hard task for her to manage having not done it yet.

The engine started, her time had ran out.

"DAMN!" She cursed in her mind and shoved her hand forward. Her face screwed up in distaste and a slight twinge of pain. She shoved her other hand out and it too passed through the car. Turning her body, she barely managed to sit inside as Felix hit reverse and started to back out.

Panting and weak, she sat in his car, she did not fall through! Someone was helping her and for that she was thankful. She hoped to hell too that felix left his door open a little longer when he got home, she did not want to do that again! Maybe she could just wait inside it while he packed? It was a thought, the last as her entity went into a sleep like trance. She had to recover some of the energy she used to get this far, and the only way to do that was to soak in some of the sun's energy.. She did not know this, but it was working. She napped the entire trip to Felix's house.

 

[Tibxo]

Felix

Leaving Liz at his apartment, Felix throws his luggage into the trunk of his car, before setting off.

Slowly the buildings of the city make way for the smaller buildings of the surrounding towns, only for them to make way for countryside. Then he enters the hills, full of pine trees. By now, the sun is a raging red across the sky as it sets for the night and for a brief moment, he forgets as he admires the beauty. But a moment is but a moment.

It is pitch black by the time his pontiac draws up outside the small log cabin. Switching off the engine, Felix pulls out a small flash light and turns it on as he grabs his bag and gets out of the car.

Following the large steps which leads up to the front cabin, he quickly ferrets out the keys, held in a small cubby hold hidden next to the door itself, which he uses to let himself in.

At that moment, he pauses.

Standing in the door way, he turns and aims the beam of his torch into the darkness outside, eyes staring, his ears straining.

But there is nothing.

Not a sound except for his own breathing.

Turning back, he switches on the inside light as he closes the door behind him.

It must have been a trick! He thinks to himself later as he sits down with a hot mug of coffee in his hand. As he had been entering the cabin, he could have sworn he heard his name being called....

 

[Sweetp4u]

Lissa

"Felix? Can't you hear me?" She sighed heavily, sitting in the car all this time, total silence, it was getting to her. He did not turn on the radio, he did not hum or even speak to himself as he drove. The passing country side did not intrigue her as it seemed to do to him, she had a life to get back.. Didn't she?

"You know Felix, sooner or later I will discover why you are so silent, withdrawn and perhaps even why that sadness fills your eyes.. So you may as well cooperate with me now and just LISTEN!" She waved her hand infront of his eyes, nothing..

She sat back sulking for a good hour before attempting to speak with him again. "Where are we going? I do not like the wild much you know.. City girl and all that.. You wont be fishing will you? Felix?" Again nothing...

By now he had turned onto an old bumpy unpaved road and jolted around in the car. Smiling, she noticed she did not heave and bob as he did, for this she was grateful. At least she wouldn't be car sick or anything... Could dead people even get sick? She didn't ponder it too long.

He climbed out, leaving his door open, again a silent prayer of thanks as she got herself out of his little economical car and hovered around him. He grabbed his bags, locked the trunk, his car doors and turned on a flash light.

"FELIX!" She called out as He had walked right through her! And in doing so, she could feel his emotions well up inside her. So many swirling dark masses of pain, loneliness and need, it took her a moment to understand what had happened. Never before had someone walked through her, it was..... it was so difficult to explain or decipher inside her mind, but it was definitely felt.

She whirled around, running behind him as he whirled with the flash light around towards her. Was he scared? She didn't stop to think about it but moved inside before the door was shut to her.

Entering the small cabin, she glanced around and then turned back towards the door, "Homey isnt it?" He still did not notice she spoke to him, he looked a little confused but he came slowly inside and shut the door. Setting down his bag, he bolted the door shut and switched off the flashlight. His head shook negatively but he did not say anything aloud neither.

She followed him into the only bedroom and sat on the bed as he unpacked his things, what little he did bring. "Why don't you speak to me, Felix? I am so lonely.." She sighed, feeling his emotions welling up inside her, reminding her what it was like to have fears and needs. She too was remembering and wishing she could touch something again.

He did not turn on the little black and white tv, she didn't even see an outlet for electricity. If it wasn't for the lights being on, she would have guessed this rustic little place didnt have power. He slowly shed everything but his boxers and laid them neatly over an old rocking chair. It looked comfortable to her, homey too, even the home made quilt over it seemed nice to her.
"Felix?" She watched him as he stood there, staring at his suitcase.

 

[Tibxo]

Felix

For a short while, he just sits there. He can feel his stomach rumbling and he realises he has not eaten but with the full day at the hospital followed by the long drive, any energy he did have is now gone and all he wants to do is sleep. Insteadn, he wearily gets up, pulls off his remaining item of clothing (his boxers) and places it with the rest.

Now naked, he goes to open up his suitcase but pauses. His tiredness mixed with the muddy warmth of the night persuades him to sleep as he is. Putting the suitcase on the floor, he goes into the main room, switches off the light before returning and laying on the top of the bed.

Even as he starts to drift of to sleep, the moon's ray finally manage to pierce the heavy cloud cover and shines through the bedroom window, bathing his body in an bright blue light...

 

[Sweetp4u]

Lissa

She sat studying the room, the things in the room and then Felix. His features stark in a way, drawn tightly. He was fatigued, worn out thuroughly. She felt him tugging on her as he moved but hesitated when he pulled off his boxers.

"Oh my!" She gasped her eyes widening some what as his nude form returned upright. She was glad she could not blush, for she would have been with the sight of this man bared to her.

He was a work of art in a way, lithe, muscled but not overly so. Beautiful, if a man could be so. He was not large in stature, his height maybe an inch or two over her, but he was filled out nicely.

He groaned slightly, moving into the livingroom and shutting off the lights. He returned to the room, now encased in darkness and lay down upon the bed.

As if drawn like a moth to flame she moved towards the bed, seating herself beside him, and studied his features intently.

"Such a beautiful man should not be in so much pain... Why won't you tell me what is wrong?" She whispered, her hand reaching out to stroke his cheek but she held back. She could not touch him and it hurt to know this.

 

[Tibxo]

Felix

They are together, naked, on the bed. Bodies entwined as they kiss with a mixture of love and lust. Their mouths clued together, he runs his hands over her soft body, her lovely breasts. In turn, he feels her hand on him, homing in on his stiffening manhood.

On the bed, his body reacts to the dream. His penis, a fat slug nestling between his legs starts to twitch, then move and finally grow.

"Jesus, Felix. You are big tonight." Her compliment, along with her touch, only makes him even harder, even bigger.

"I wonder why." He grins.

They kiss again before finally parting. Looking at her, he can see her need as much as feel his own.

"Fuck me, darling. Fuck me and give us our baby." She gasps and he feels her pulling away, laying on her back, ready for him to mount her.

Usually, they spent more time on foreplay, to heighten their arousal. But they don't need to tonight. He can feel his cock throbbing almost painfully as he gets onto his knees.

On the bed, his erection is now rearing almost to his belly button, hard and aching just like in his dream.

"Jane." He whispers. "Oh Jane."...

 

[Sweetp4u]

Lissa

"Oh my..." She watched as his body changed before her very eyes. He was sweating slightly, his smile seductive and his cock hard as a rock.
"Good lord! To be in your mind... I bet it's good isn't it, Felix?" She spoke into his ear, her body resting on the bed beside him.
"Hmmm, i wonder.." She chewed her bottom lip before she placed her hand near his head.
True enough, she went through him, but she could feel the emotions suddenly well up inside.
"Jesus!" She gasped yet again, her whole being was tingling with pleasure, something she could clearly feel. Even her ghostly nipples began to harden.
"Oh my god! Felix?!" She smiled, gasped and stared in awe for a long pause. She was reacting! How?! Oh who gives a shit! She was reacting!
She pushed further and more of her arm moved into his body, her breath catching slightly. "This isn't what I wanted Felix..." She pulled back with much regret. He groaned again and she closed her eyes, fighting that age old demon.. Lust.
"No, I can't.."
"Oh jane!" Felix whimpered in a husky tone, his body tensing a moment, rocking.. Was he having sex in his sleep? From his movements it looked to be so.
"Stop it!" She lashed out her hand, pushing against his arm and actually moving Felix slightly sideways on the bed.
She didn't notice she moved him, she jumped up from the bed and stood looking out the window.
"Ignore it Lissa.. Ignore him til it's over.. This is NOT why I am here.." She groaned herself, wishing she could do something about that lusty little witch inside clawing to get fulfillment.

 

[Tibxo]

Felix

She is kneeling on the bed, her hands on the headboard as he gets behind her, his aching wand pushing firmly against her ass cheeks.

"Hurry, darling." He hears her tell him in that thick voice of hers which she has when she is extremely aroused. "I need it inside me."

Unable to resist her like that, he places one hand on her small waist while the other goes to his cock which seems even harder than normal. Possibly it is because they are trying for the baby. With her spreading her legs wider, he moves in between. Aiming the head of his thick instrument in between her legs.

"Ohhh." She gasps as he feels the hot wetness of her cunt press against the enraged head of his erection. The sensation causes him to throb even more. Unable to hold himself back, he skewers forward, thrusting himself deeply inside her in one go, causing both of them to moan in response.

"Jesus! You are big tonight. You are splitting me in two." She always liked talking to him like that when she is aroused and it always has the same affect, the second thrust completely immerses himself inside her.

"Jane..." He gasps as he lays naked, alone on the bed. His erection jerking and pulsing as it reacts to the dream he is having...

 

[Sweetp4u]

Lissa

She groaned unable to take the sounds she was hearing.

Who was Jane? Was she why he was so upset all the time? Was she his wife? Ex-wife? Ex-lover? She turned back to the bed, watching him fight in his sleep to fulfill his desires, but unable too. He was trapped in a dream that would not bring relief of any kind, he would still be frustrated later.

She moved back to the bed, sitting on it beside him, watching his glistening body move slowly. He was dreaming he was making love to this Jane, she knew that by what she saw.. He must miss her alot, need her badly.. Or was it a wet dream?

She wanted to know, see more to what made Felix the way he was.. The only way to do so would be to touch him again.

Did she dare? Wouldn't she just pass through him?

Never knew until it happened. She did reach out and touch him, her hand caressing his skin before she went through. She had felt him, the texture of his skin but it did not last long. Again she was inside him, feeling what he was feeling.

Her lips parted as she gasped out loudly, she was getting visions through this contact. Tingles shot up and down her body, her hand trembled slightly. She moved higher up his chest and moved through him as she passed downward. She could feel the goose flesh rise on his body, hear his moan. Did she cause that? Or was it in the dream?

She got the vision of a beautiful woman riding on him, slowly. Her eyes full of love and desire, her lips smiling with mischief as well. Without thought Lissa moved on the bed, strandling Felix's form on the bed, Her hands still moving through him. The higher she moved on him with her hands, the more clearer these pictures came to her.. The more she felt as if she was there herself!

She could feel the unmistakeable feeling of being penetrated and cried out in shock. Looking down suddenly, she realized he was not actually inside her.. he was fucking his wife! And she could feel it?

She closed her eyes yet again, this time she switched directions. Turning, she lay down inside his form, merging her body within his. Inch by inch as she moved and settled, more information came to her, the reality of the dream now inside her mind as well. She matched him almost perfectly as she lay inside. Smaller and shorter, she still met up in the right places.

Too stunned to think for herself, she watched the dream with open eyes, her mind enthralled with this completely. She moved her arm and hand, bring it to her chest and in turn she brought Felix's hand to his chest as well. She moved hers away again and felix did yet again the same thing.. Was she controlling his body and actions? Or was he simply mimicing her movements for no reason?

"Felix?" She whispered his name in her mind and in his dream.. his wife was calling out his name. She closed her eyes and surrendered to the sensations and pleasure. Lissa was merging in this dream with his wife.. She could feel what Jane felt.. See what Jane seen, all of it. Even though it was Felix's dream, Lissa was fast learning she could control his wife's movements..

 

[Tibxo]

Felix

"Felix?"

The sound of his wife's voice is still ringing in his ears as he springs upright, suddenly fully awake.

"Jane?" He calls out into the darkness and for a moment, he is completely disorientated. Slowly though, it dawns on him where he is and that more importantly he is alone.

"Jane." He sighs as he slowly sinks back into the bed.

For long minutes, he just lays there, trying to will sleep to return but it does not. Instead, he notices a throbbing sensation down in the area of his groin. It doesn't take the touch of his hand to realise he is achingly hard.

"Jesus." He groans as he feels his rock hard endowment and he feels the temptation, the need to relieve himself.

But he cannot.

Not without her.

Filled with frustration and longing, he allows his hand to slip to his side as he just lays there silently...

 

[Sweetp4u]

Lissa

He jerked upright in bed, seperating their thoughts instantly and with much shock to Lissa. Rolling sideways, she fell to the floor with a silent thump and sat panting.
Her body felt alive and in need all over, it was if she could feel every fine hair on her body tingling with elextricity.

"Oh god, Felix!.." She was shaking with her need, the feelings in that man he, in a sense, pushed into her was more than she ever felt for another. It was consuming!

She heard him call for Jane, she wished she could answer his call but knew she couldn't.. His wife was gone, and she was rotten to give him hopes, which is what she felt like she had done.

She moved back to a sitting position, her back against the wall and watched him lie there. He was trying to sleep and ignore the hardness between his thighs, she was beginning to understand him more and more now.. He wanted his wife, not his hand or anyone else..

"I am sorry Felix.." Sitting in silence, she didn't move to get near him again, just watched him sleep til dawn.

 

[Tibxo]

Felix

The warmth of the morning sun on his face instantly wakens him and for a moment, he is completely disorientated. Slowly raising his head, he looks around and it takes a few seconds to realise where he is. Yawning, he gets up and stretches.

"Looks like you left me high and dry, woman." He says with a grin as he looks down as the large erection that is sticking out of his loins. Despite its ache, he ignores it as he walks out into the kitchen.

"I don't know about you but I'm hungry." He says out loud. "Let's see what there is to eat." However, a quick foray through the fridge and cupboards tells him that there is no food at all in the cabin.

"Darn!" He says. "I knew I should've stopped at that last service station."

It is then he spies the fishing rod and tackle by the door and remembers Liz telling him that there is a lake nearby where you can fish. He used to like fishing.

"How would you like a fish breakfast?" He again says out aloud. Nodding as if he can hear a response, he goes to grab the fishing gear and realises that he is still naked. Also, he is still extremely erect.

"It's must be the morning air." He laughs, "He has usually gone to sleep before now."...

 

[Sweetp4u]

Lissa

Waking was almost like just becoming aware of your surroundings. There was no yawning and stretching, rolling over and checking out the clock.

She was just there, sitting on the edge of the bed as Felix walked out of the bedroom.

Her eyes widened a little as he paraded around butt naked and hard as a rock.

"Good lord! Who is he talking to?" She muttered aloud as she stood and followed him around the small cabin. He gathered fishing things, stretched, kept talking to no one in particular and stood around outside with a cute smile on his face.

"You are naked Felix.. Wake up!" She stood beside him and said that loudly to him.

He gave no indication he even heard her but started off across the little field to the lake.

"Weird man.. Very weird man.." He got half way through the drive way when a vehicle could be heard coming up the dirt road.

"FELIX!" she called and tried hard not to laugh. When they showed up here, they were going to get more than they bargained for! And they had to be coming here since this was the end of the line.. Who was it though? Who had he invited up here? She stood watching from the doorway, almost afraid it was a woman..

She stopped watching Felix as Carly pulled up into the drive way.

"Oh no.." She felt herself shudder all over as the blonde nurse stepped out of her car.

"Felix?! Wh-what are you doing here?" Her eyes scanned him up and down as she stood by her car. Lissa could see the luggage and such in the back of her little VW bug... Carly had come to stay.. But apparently she didnt know Felix was going to be here.

Lissa knew better, she knew Carly came out here with one thing in mind.. Felix.

"Oh my!" Carly aburptly turned her back to Felix as if now noticing he was naked. "I am terribly sorry! Liz said it was alright to spend a weekend up here.. " Carly was rambling but her wicked little grin gave her away. Carly had no idea Lissa could see her face, but she'd soon learn as she did in that break room!

"Slut.." Lissa stepped back inside the house but lingered in the opened doorway to watch.

 

[Tibxo]

Felix

(OOC: LMAO! I hadn't intended for Felix to go fishing in the noddy but when in Rome...)

He stops as he realises he is actually laughing and he likes the feeling.

May it was a good idea to come here. Thanks Liz! He thinks to himself as he looks around the little cabin so brightly lit up by the morning sun.

Deciding he will do some fishing, he turns to go back into the bedroom to get dressed and stops.

What the Hell! There's nobody around!

On a mad impulse, he starts to walk and doesn't stop until he is outside and heading for the lake. He realises too late that a car is coming up the drive, cutting him off from the cabin. Instantly, he recognises the blonde inside as the car comes to a stop.

"Felix?! Wh-what are you doing here?" Carly asks as she gets out of the car. "Oh my!" and quickly turns her back to him. "I am terribly sorry! Liz said it was alright to spend a weekend up here."

Felix isn't really listening. Suddenly feeling completely exposed (which he is), all he wants to do is get back into the cabin and get dressed.

"Erm. Look, Carly. You have caught me at a 'disadvantage'."

"Oh?" Carly says as she starts to turn her head towards him and stops. "Oh." She comprehends.

Shielding himself with his tackle box, Felix quickly scoots around her and into the cabin, not noticing the nurse ogling his naked behind as soon as the opportunity presents himself.

Hastily donning on a pair of jeans, a t-shirt and goes to go out again only to find Carly standing in the living room.

"Sorry about that." He says, rather sheepishly...

 

[Sweetp4u]

Lissa

Watching this woman come into the house was an irritation she did not want.

What was Carly doing here?

She knew for a fact liz wouldn't send another woman up here while Felix was...

Her eyes widened as it dawned on her. The conversation she over heard...

Carly was after Felix!

Lissa moved in a protective manner to stand between Carly and Felix, her temper soaring as she thought about this 'tramp's' motives for being here.


"It's alright Felix.. I am embarassed that .. Well I was assured i'd have the place to myself.. I did not expect anyone here.. " She held out her hand suddenly and flushed, "Not that I want you to go.. I obviously got the weekends confused. I am so so sorry.." She made an attempt to look guilty but Lissa could see right through it!

"Kick her out! She is only trying to get into your bed Felix.." Lissa tried to demand but obviously wasn't heard.

"Please, forgive my intrucion.. I should head back to town before it gets any darker.. Or at least the nearest hotel..." She sighed heavily, as if the trip would be hard on her and the hotel even more so.. Would felix fall for Carly's trickery? She hoped so.. And lissa was fuming with anger as she could see the woman's inner thoughts and they were far far from innocent.

Carly let her eyes travel over his face, trying hard not to look at his crotch but desperately wanting too. He looked damned sexy naked, she could only imagine what he was like in the bedroom?

"May I have a glass of water before I go?" Carly smiled coyly and pleaded with her eyes.

"Don't do it... Felix, do not let her stay.. Please.." Lissa was trying desperately to be heard.

 

[Tibxo]

Felix

"It's alright Felix.. I am embarrassed that .. Well I was assured i'd have the place to myself.. I did not expect anyone here.. Not that I want you to go.. I obviously got the weekends confused. I am so so sorry.. Please, forgive my intrusion.. I should head back to town before it gets any darker.. Or at least the nearest hotel..."

He can see that she is disappointed that she cannot stay, though he is surprised that Liz would double-book like that. It is not like her unless....?

He quickly dismisses the thought. She wouldn't do that to him.

Would she?

"May I have a glass of water before I go?" Carly asks, breaking into his thoughts.

"Erm. Sure." Going to the sink, he pours some into a mug. "Here you are." He says, handing it to her.

"I'm sorry that Liz has double-booked us, Carly." His mind mulling over what can be done. "I certainly don't want you disappointed after driving all this way here. Why don't I stay at the hotel and come back Monday? That way, you can enjoy your weekend."...

Lissa

She stood behing Carly, watching and waiting. Her mind was angry for she had seen Carly's car and there was no supplies in there for a weekend get away.. It was just as she thought! A set up by Carly to get to Felix.

"I couldn't do that Felix, but it is kind of you to offer." Carly accepted the glass of water and smiled what Carly felt was her most dazzling smile.

Lissa growled, that Slut! Why was she feeling so overly protective of Felix? She never met the man before she 'awoke' in the hospital? She had never had a conversation with the man, she was acting more childish than Carly was!

She didn't care either! That woman had to leave and by God She would!

Lissa paced around, getting herself more and more worked up as Carly took her time drinking her glass of water and socializing about the weather and fishing..

Lissa laughed, Carly didn't look the type to even know the difference between a sinker and a hook!

"It's nice up here isnt it? Are you enjoying yourself?" Carly kept her eyes trained on Felix, forcing eye contact as much as possible.

Lissa felt the spark happen, she had feeling in her hand as she stood between Carly and Felix. Her hand reached up and slapped the glass away. Interestingly enough.. The glass went sailing, water dousing the front of Carly's shirt. Carly nearly choked as the glass was forceably shoved from her fingers.

"MY GOD!" Carly jumped, choking and coughing on her water as the glass hit the floor and spun on it's side. Water went everywhere, and carly grabbed at her shirt to shake the excess water from it.
"I am soo soo sorry! I don't know wh-what happened?" Carly was a little shaken, her heart hammering in her chest as she glanced around. Cold chills ran up Carly's spine a second before she pushed it away as strange and inexplainable.

Lissa smirked with satisfaction as Carly tried to clean up the mess. But that didn't stop Lissa.. She bent down on the floor and ran her fingers through the water.. Parting it with her fingers, she grinned even more.

"Now let's see who is playing with whom.." Carly asked for a towel and grabbed the paper towels off of the counter top. She stooped down to clean it when she noticed the water was being pushed around...

Now normally if a floor slanted it would pool and run..., But this was different.. much MUCH different..

The water went one way and then down, shooting left, stopping and then shooting right across the floor.. Carly stumbled and landed on her bottom as she gaped at the water.. Her face paled as her lips parted, her jaw nearly hanging in shock..

Water suddenly shot up from the floor and the few droplets that splashed her face were enough.. Shooting upright Carly paled even more as she stumbled backwards and into Felix.
"This place is haunted! I am NOT STAYING HERE!" She jerked herself out of Felix's helping hands and stumbled again to get out of the cabin. She was scared shitless, so scared she was certain she'd pee in her pants if she stayed there a moment longer..

"I.. The water.. It... I SWEAR! This place is fucking haunted and I am getting out of here!" Carly made no excuses as she ran/walked out of the cabin and to her car. She was shaking so badly, she didn't even want to hear Felix's words as she climbed into her car and revved it up.

"I...... Good bye Felix!" She gunned it and shot out of there, not caring where the gravel went as she took off.

Inside, Lissa took her wet fingers and wrote across the table.. "I'm here to help..." The black table top showed the words clearly in water.. She hoped Felix would come back and see before they dried...
