Mary Kendall, A Ghost Story
Dreams
Layla never loses the fire in her brilliant eyes as she regards Mary. “I’ll have to say, you have guts ghost girl and apparently are loyal. I’m only temporarily down, and you should remember that. Conceivably there is a reason the Fates kept you tied to winter. We will explore this once I am better.” She grudgingly admits to them, “I suppose I should have permitted Jamison to explain rather than jumping down his throat.”

Layla turns to Jamie and scowls as if she has been eating lemons. “I expect I owe you thanks because you are going to Shang Simla to collect what is needed to restore me, so thank you.” As disagreeable as it must be to her she also apologizes to Jamie for not believing him and allowing him to explain. “How did you discover a cure so quickly? I’ve been asking for weeks, and no one knows anything.”
Jamie happily realizes Layla is not going to strike Mary down and replies to her question. “This may be a harsh and frozen town in the dead of winter, but it is not a backwards town. There is a large scientific and occult community here that works together rather than tear each other apart. Emmaline is a trained healer and knew of a cure once we told her about the curse."
He shrugs his shoulders and pierces her with a direct gaze. "I'm guessing you did not ask the right people when you started your search. Or, perhaps you crossed those people in the past and they didn’t want to aid you. You know the saying about ‘what goes around, comes around'. Your karma ultimately worked out to your disadvantage."
Layla looks startled at Jamie’s pronouncement as if she had not considered that before.
Bekka grins at Jamie’s response. She didn’t like hearing her town described as Fate forsaken and the implication it was uncivilized.
Layla looks over at Bekka. “Who are you?
“Don’t you know?”
“Obviously not, my powers are not as strong as they should be.”
“I’m Rebecca Danforth.”
“Jerich’s Granddaughter?“ Layla looks at her with interest and notices that she has Jerich's eyes and nose.
“Yes.”
Layla peers intently at her but shakes her head. “Damn this weakness. I can’t sense anything. I guess ghost girl and Jamison are right and I need to take these ridiculous potions.”
Jamie and Bekka leave Mary to deal with Layla and the potions. Jamie hugs Mary and whispers, “Be aware, keep your temper and blink out of the room if her eyes start glowing.”
“Layla, if you’d like to come downstairs later I will assist you."
Layla nods at him. “I’ll have ghost girl call."

“My name is Mary. You know that.”
“Yes, I do, but you are a feisty one and Mary seems like a wimpy name to me.”
“Take your potions, and we will go downstairs and fill you in on everything and find out if Damien got any more information about witches and Shang Simla. I will fix you a plate of food too. You need to eat to regain your strength.”
Layla dutifully takes the first potion and following the instructions she rests thirty minutes before taking the second.

Damien is still working at his computer, so Jamie and Bekka sit at the bar and talk softly.
“You know Layla? Jamie asks Bekka, surprised by that possibility.
“Not really, but I know of her. She was a genie before she became an oracle. She had a relationship of some sort with my Grandfather many years ago. As her powers grew and the gift of prophecy was confirmed she left the community he lived in. I only have vague recollection of her, and that is from my parents talking about family, not from meeting her.
“Your grandfather? She would have been quite young back then. She normally doesn’t look much older than me. He’s gone now right?
“Yes, he had passed away before my parents died. You know genies don’t age the same as humans. We are not immortal, but we do live longer lives.
Jamie grins. “I know better than to ask a lady her age, so I never asked her.”
Bekka looks over at Jamie. “Very diplomatic I am sure. You’ve never asked me either.”
Jamie just smiles sheepishly at Bekka. “It doesn’t matter to me what your age is.”

Jamie helps Layla down the winding staircase surprised at how feeble she is. It doesn’t seem the potions did much good.They gather in the living room and sit down.
Damien has not heard from the witch in Shang Simla. He contacted an acquaintance who is a police officer in Shang Simla. They met at a conference when he was with the police. He confirmed Lee lives in Shang Simla. He generously offered to send word someone was coming for help. Lee apparently preserves the ancient traditions and shies away from technology. Damien reserved a flight for Jamie leaving in a few hours.
Mary can see Layla is tired. She fixes her a bowl of nourishing soup and coaxes her to eat it. She tells the others they can talk about the prophecy tomorrow after Layla is rested and hopefully stronger.

Jamie assists Layla back upstairs. “I know you are weak and feeling the effects of the curse as well as whatever happened after your meditation. I do hope the potions work and slow the aging down. I need you to understand one thing. I know you, Layla. I’ve seen what you do to those who cross you. If you hurt my friends in any way while I am gone, it will be the last thing you do. I promise you that.
“Jamie, I know I’ve not always been at my best around you.” She snorts as he boggles at her comment. “Ok, I know I’ve been downright mean and violent at times. I recognize you and your friends are indeed trying to heal me and you have no expectations from me. It is a rarity. Someone always desires something from me."
"I will not hurt your friends. I actually quite like that little Mary. She’s spunky. Rebecca is most likely kin somewhere down the line, so she is safe too. Damien is too handsome and nice to even think about hurting.”
She looks down at her feet and continues. “Jamison, it is strange and perhaps you won’t believe me, but you are like the little brother I never had. One minute I want to smack you around for being so gullible and the next hug you for being who you are and so helpful to others. I never learned how to give freely of myself like you do. When I first met you, I genuinely didn’t think you could be as good as you are. And yet, you’ve never once disappointed me. You have also put up with me a lot longer than anyone else ever has even though you disagree with some of my actions."
Now, get the devil out of here and allow me to get some rest. And, no, I don’t desire one of your hugs.”
Jamie is even more boggled with her comments and wonders just what Emmaline put in those two potions. “Fate be still. Layla, I will never figure you out. But, thank you for telling me you won’t hurt them. They are good people.” He grabs her and hugs her anyway before rushing down to his room to pack.

Jamie throws a few things into a bag and calls a cab. He takes Rebecca home in the cab not wanting her to ride home in the dark by herself. “I’m going to miss you Bekka. I will try to call you, and you can call me if you’d like.”
Bekka knows she is going to miss Jamie's company. She wishes he didn’t have to go, but he wouldn’t be Jamie if he wasn’t willing to rush off and help Layla. “I will miss you and worry about you as well. Please be careful as you are searching.”
https://live.staticflickr.com/65535/51109321531_7be741cd0d_o.jpg
She takes his hands as they talk. Squeezing them softly, Bekka tells him to be careful on his trip. She squeezes her eyes tightly together to hold back the tears trying to spill out. Why oh why does she have to cry so easily, she berates herself.
Jamie notices she is getting a little teary eyed. He doesn’t want her to be sad, but at the same time his heart leaps. He thinks it shows she is caring for him more than as a friend. He wants that so badly. He hopes this is true.
https://live.staticflickr.com/65535/51109321511_a6e7961cdc_o.jpg
He tries lightening the mood by teasing about placing her in the genie lamp and tossing it into his duffle, so she has to come with him. Instead of laughing, Bekka suddenly reaches out and grabs him, pulling him down to her. She kisses him hard and long, with a sweet passion that makes him wish he was not catching a plane shortly. His heart is soaring with the kiss and he knows leaving her now will be the hardest thing he’s done.

She pulls back from him and ducks her head down afraid to see his face.
“Bekka, look at me.” he asks her gently. She raises her head, and he has that sweet smile on his face.The one that makes her feel protected and cherished. His eyes shine with desire. She smiles back feeling a little breathless and weak in the knees from the intensity of his gaze and the feelings evoked by the kiss.
https://live.staticflickr.com/65535/51108752662_df05062b23_o.jpg
Jamie is not ready to lose that closeness with her and he pulls her back into his arms. This time he leads the kiss and can feel her heart racing in response to his kiss. He pours all the love he has been feeling for her into that one kiss. He wants her to feel that kiss even after he is on his way to Shang Simla.
Bekka’s entire body tingles as he wraps his strong arms around her deepening the kiss. The intensity of his kiss melts her heart and fills her heart and soul with his. Their connection is powerful and time seems to stop. The only sounds in the room are soft moans of delight as they kiss.

https://live.staticflickr.com/65535/51109224423_42f05fbd11_o.jpg
Jamie finally ends the kiss. He holds her face in his hands, so she can’t look away from him.
“My beautiful Rebecca, I’ve wanted your kisses for such a long time now. You are making it harder to leave kissing me like that.”
Bekka softly sighs watching Jamie’s eyes light up as he looks at her. “It is hard letting you go feeling like this. I couldn’t let you leave without kissing you, Jamie. In such a short time, you’ve come to mean so much to me.”
The cabbie toots his horn signalling his impatience to get going. “I will be back before you know it and we will continue this right where we left off," Jamie promises her.
Jamie takes one last kiss and holds her tightly before rushing out the door to catch his flight.

Bekka relaxes on her bed thinking about Jamie and his kisses. She misses him already. She laughs wondering if it is too soon to call. She picks up her phone and composes a message and as she hits send she receives a text. It is from Jamie. They were both thinking the same thing at the same time. I miss you. I'll see you in my dreams.
She smiles joyously and grabs her journal and looks at the words she wrote earlier today. Happy and excited.That pretty much sums up the entire day. She still feels happy and excited even with a tinge of sadness that Jamie will be gone for a few days. She loves knowing that Jamie has been wanting her kisses for awhile but never pressured her. He waited until she was ready. He sure made her toes curl when they did kiss and is looking forward to more. She falls asleep thinking of Jamie and his kisses with a smile on her face.
