She could channel the spirits. They spoke to her always. She had been tested and studied since she was a young child and now she was to begin a life of traveling and spirit communication all over the world as part of a research show into the paranormal.

He...

1. Had studied her work and history and wanted to know more?

2. A spirit who had known her long ago returned to the mortal plane to be with her protect her and aid her?

3. A part of the show as well?

-------------
They had finally made their way to the second floor and almost instantly the spirits flooded around. One showing her something then another bombarding her with images and words then the monster that wielded the most legends in this ancient chateau stood before her hands around her neck. He was only a spirit but the rage and hate within him even now made it feel like a steel vice around her throat taking air from her. The other spirits fighting to free her and those among the living that know of her gift trying to help her focus and trying to keep her with them as she eventually sank against the wall coughing and gasping.
 
Eric Summers heard what had happen that night. He was speaking to one of the sound guys about it. The crew all knew him, as he appeared to be the local super fan, showing up anywhere within 4 hours of the home base.

"You have to get me on the crew. I can film, you know that. You have seen my footage on tv53 news." Eric as worried, he had no idea how he could protect her, but dammit he had to try. Standing on the sidelines wasn't going to be enough anymore.
 
Well we still have another episode of filming at the Damon's mansion. Yeah but don't let your concern for her interfere. You wait till boss man calls cut or she may land on all of us. She is driven and determined. This place is trying to hide something and she is determined to find out what.

The next day they were ready for a little day filming and then against the better judgement of the production chief another night shoot in the house starting on the second floor.
 
Eric says to his buddy, "thanks you won't regret this. By a night shoot here?" He shakes his head and a producer let's him have.

"Listen fucking Noob, you are paid to film. Lucky you we wanted another cam guy. Now, keep your mouth shut and listen to directions."

Soon he and a sound guy waited in the upstairs hallway, the director telling them to shoot this and that before focusing on the stairwell
 
This time the evil in this place was determined to keep her out. She gave those he owned hope and a voice. He was weaker outside of the house but no less murderous.

She hissed but did not back down. Her fists clenched as she grinned at the second story window that the perhaps the wind had blown open.

The medical assistant hurried over.

Are you okay?

She nodded.

Seems Lord Damons wants to play again merely trying to scare us off. He... He doesn't want them to have a voice... Her to have a voice. His arrogant anger makes his thoughts easier to read than the morning paper. So we will be looking for a female spirit... Perhaps terrified of him even in death.

The backup crew is set up in stairwell.

She nodded.

They should be safe Damon's is focused on me.
 
Eric swore he saw something."did you see that?" He said to no one in particular.

The Director asked what it was but he had no answer. "Just film, we have someone looking into. So be quiet."

He felt a chill and the sound man smiled as he shook his head. His finger to his lips.
 
The daytime shooting went rather well a few visual events like the second story shutter slamming as she looked up and smirked.

I will find her... And I will give her the voice you have denied her...

She paused...

The children... They... They... They wanted to play outside... To see the sunshine but he... He refused... Confining them to play in the basement... Now... They want to play with the cameras and the nice people... They come outside now... He gets angry but they can't be seen or heard... Till now.

She just stared her eyes closing for a moment as her voice changed a little... Softened... Became younger.

~Why do you point funny boxes at the nice lady?~

She looked to the camera men as the medical assistant slowly started to approach. The host of the show studied her a moment.

You are one of the children she was talking about aren't you? I am David and the nice lady's name is Nadia. Do you have anything you want to tell us? Can you tell us about the scared lady that Miss Nadia sensed?

~She cries alot... No I am not telling the lady you don't like... I promise... I am telling the funny old man... That's all~

She staggered back and shook her head.

She ran away... It was the little girl... Dark hair... Curls...so tiny...

She held a hand up to the medical assistant.

I'm fine...
 
Eric was frozen. Not with terror but wonder. Yes he was a fan and yes he had done research on the show and thought it was just hype for the show. But to see what he just saw. His mind refused to believe it.

He had assumed that what had happen to Nadia was some squatter that they had frightened and that the show then changed to a spirit. He thought a moment. "Holy crap, this show is real and not like Buffy or Supernatural. How can I protect her now?" A slight shiver came over him.

His crew mate asked in a low whisper, "Dude, you alright? Keep it together man." Eric shook his head affirmative. Clearly he had joined into something more than he bargined for but he was determined that he would see it through. Then he heard a voice. It took a minute to realize it was the director.

"...left. Pan left you moron, L. E. F. T. NOW" He finally did as told.
 
The little girl from the painting in the hall downstairs.

The host replied.

Yes... She... She understands that while the Lord of the mansion is still scary he can't do anything else to them. He can't stop her mischief... But to humor the others she used me to tell you since he hated me but could care less about those who are not able to hear him. The coward is terrified of me giving this woman this victim of his a voice. Of all those he terrorized she was always his main target. She... I know she is nearby but she refuses to come near us. She wants to I feel it.. I hear the others telling her to talk to us but even in death she is still so afraid of this coward... This bully this worthless subhuman slimeball...

The host knew what she was doing g she was trying to anger him trying to make him lose his hold on the others... But at what cost. He had seen Nadia nearly thrown down stairs before by someone nowhere near the brutal legacy of this man.
 
Eric tried to focus on his job, quickly realizing that without it he would have no access to his heroine. A woman, who at this point had no idea he existed and that he was willing to do anything to save her.

Still his mind told him to run. That this is, was all too crazy. The hairs on his arm stood up.

He knew something was about to happen, for good or bad. And all he had was a camera and a small knife. "Some hero", he thought.
 
The cameras flickered off and on. The sound tech roared into the headsets about static. She had succeeded Lord Damons was irate clearly. She suddenly whipped her head around with a hiss.

I know you are there coward... Now that at least the children know you can't stop them how long till she let's me give her a voice against you. The impotent rage of cowardly bully I don't need technology to give her a voice.

Her eyes were locked down the hallway as she began to stalk down the hall vanishing deeper into the second floor.
 
The static in their ears was horrendous and they took them out. Eric wasn't sure how much or even if the camera was capturing any of this, but he was damned if he was going to allow her to go alone.

He wanted to rush up, to step in front of her but instead he did what he thought she wanted but he was ready to drop the camera any second. The house seemed o be coming alive
 
They all want her to step forward... But he keeps trying to stop them... Stop her... She hides... I know she is here... Just out of sight...

She was getting frustrated as she moved room to room. Maybe just maybe if she could find this terrified woman's room she could help her come forward.
 
He thought he saw something in the corner of his eyes. But it was gone when he turned his head and he saw a door opened a crack.a door he was certain was closed before. Knowing he shouldn't he made a step over in that direction.
The air seemed cooler there and he could see his breath. No one seemed to notice at first.
 
Lauren... Lana... No Lauren... Our little friend from earlier. Yes little one tell me... Or use me to tell the others here. The funny boxes are safe it's okay...

She was slowly making her way back around to the door he was near.

Can you tell me the lady that cries alot name Lauren? Katie... Kayla... Katia... Katia... Can you help Katia speak to me Lauren? Will she tell you and you tell me?
 
Eric hears another voice, like whisper carried on the wind. Except there is no wind inside the manor. He can make out th words but feels a sadness. He looks at her, so close and mouths "Be careful."
 
She stops... and smiles. Her eyes almost sparkling as she speaks

They are showing me... the little boy... The one who they claim keeps letting the little finches and other small birds into the solarium. He... He says he will help us win hide and seek with Katia.

She began to look around before honing in on the door near the new camera man. She paused a look of some sorrowful theory or realization came over her eyes.

Lauren... Is Katia your mommy?
 
The whisper seemed louder and more incoherent. He resisted grabbing her arm as she neared. Surely she heard it too. Surely he knew what she was doing.
 
Lauren seemed to have gone silent but there were different sounds now. Muffled whispers and Damons was back. She motioned the camera men away from the door and as she stood before it she smirked briefly before becoming almost reverent.

Katia... May I come in? Don't worry Katia he can't stop me if you tell me I may enter. Damons won't harm me... He doesn't have the sand to attempt it. If it will make you more comfortable I will make all the men here with me stay out of your room as well... Just some girl talk... You me and Lauren?
 
Eric wonders if she has lost her mind. He too three steps, back. Right up against the wall. He couldn't, no wouldn't let her go in alone. He tried to speak, no words came out. To reach out his arms refused t obey. He could only observe.
 
She laughed softly.

The little boy is telling her that the silly boxes don't do anything.

Seeing confused looks from some of the crew.

They are explaining the cameras in the only reference they know
 
Eric relaxes, he hears the boys voice and he feels his guard lowering. Totally forgetting the dark presence he feared.instea he worked his camera, Hoping for glimpse. A glimpse of what or who, he wasn't sure.
 
She was pleased that the children we're not afraid of the crew and she found it amusing that they honed in on the cameras as silly boxes that didn't do anything. She knew they were drawing energy from the cameras to be able to speak and be so active but that also mean he was too. The door moved a little and she smiled.

Thank you Katia will you permit one of the silly boxes to stand in the doorway? You will... Thank you.

Lauren giggled and she could feel the child's energy dancing around Eric.

Our new camera man Eric seems to have made himself quite the little girlfriend. Lauren thinks you are cute and wants you to stand there.
 
Eric mouths opens. Did he just hear what her correctly? He keeps the camera pointed on her as he looks around himself. There is no one, yet he can feel a presence. He wonders, "Do I have her gift as well? Am I a Believer and gifted on the same day?" He takes a deep breath and he watches her moving towards the door.
 
She looked to him with a soft chuckle in her smile.

The painting of the little girl with the dark long curls. Her name is Lauren and apparently she finds you attractive silly box and all.

Walking through the door she then smirked.

See Katia... Damons can't stop me... You welcomed me I to your domain. We are fine and he will not harm Eric either Lauren just don't drain the camera of energy that he is carrying use one of the others.
