001Brianna Pounds I should’ve known better than to leave the house without checking the weather. The storm roared around me, followed by the crack of thunder.Closing my eyes immediately, I prayed fervently that it wouldn't draw a map to my glass and strike me. I hated lightning so much, and being stuck here in a storm with the sound of rain and thunder terrified me. I could have let Cally drive me, or better still, had him run the errand for me, but I couldn't. I just couldn't.This pregnancy was my life, and I’d vowed the news wasn't getting the light of day until at least I was sure I’d be due in no time. This news was everything to me, and I was sorry, but not even Nicodemo would hear it.It wasn't an easy secret to keep. Nicodemo, smart as he is, had started noticing little changes, like how I was constantly tired and gaining weight. I’d hidden more times than not to get my cravings satisfied, just like this moment that had left me stuck here in the storm. The morning sickness

002Brianna Pounds"You're pregnant, honey?" Nico's voice beamed with a creepy kind of care, eyes shining with happiness as he neared me.I hadn't had papers or anything to prove my pregnancy, suddenly making me grateful for the bleeding, even though my chest was tightening with the fact that my baby could be in danger from Nico's bitch pushing me that hard. I prayed my baby was okay.My heart lightened a bit as Nico lowered to the height of my stomach, as if listening to the heartbeat, even though I doubted the baby had a heartbeat yet."You really are pregnant, Brianna." He rose to my height. "Since when? And you've been hiding this news from me? How could you?" He tapped my cheek lightly as if scolding a child. Even though I found his behavior strange, I was just happy he believed me."I... I was going to tell you tonight. It hasn't been long since I found out." I shook my head, my words fumbling. "We are pregnant again, Nicodemo." My eyes were bright, looking into his.He looked o

003Brianna Pounds “Awwn, poor baby,” that was the first thing I heard immediately after I regained consciousness. I recognized that voice to be Nico’s witch, Kariana.My eyelids, with the force I put into them, fluttered open. I was facing the ceiling and it was now I recognized we were in an abandoned warehouse. My stomach down to my legs was numb; I couldn't feel anything. My upper body felt like lead, heavy enough for me not to be able to lift it and see.Kariana was at a far corner, watching my lower body, and I tilted my head to the side since it was the only thing I could manage to control. I saw the whack doctor's sandals. He was below me, kneeling and very focused, bloody clinical materials at his side.My mind came to its senses immediately. “My baby,” I whimpered with no strength.Kariana snied, “Is she supposed to be awake by now?”Nicodemo appeared in my view at Kariana’s comment. “My baby, please Nico, tell them to stop. I'm your wife.” My eyes pleaded with their own st

004Brianna Pounds One would've thought it was all over now. That my husband had just watched his mistress, or rather collaborated with his mistress to murder me, his pregnant wife, and that was it. But no.I didn't know what cruel games the universe was playing with me, because I was standing over my own dead body, watching the three of them. I shouted, but nobody could hear or see me. I was truly dead.“Check, you should see it now,” Nico told the doctor.The doctor pulled his phone from his back pocket and focused on the screen.Kariana sat cross legged in a chair. I hadn't known if it had been there the whole time or if they'd just set it up in the few moments since I gave up the ghost to celebrate their mighty achievement.She poured an expensive wine into her glass, stretched the rim to her cherry lips. I watched her throat bob as she swallowed a gulp.“Payment confirmed.” The doctor's voice brought my focus back to the two of them.Nicodemo had just paid the very money we'd wo

005Brianna Pounds “I'm coming over, Mom. I'll tell you all about it.” Nico hung up instantly and exhaled deeply.“You're such a good actor; you should look into the profession,” Kariana cackled.Nicodemo adjusted his shirt collar triumphantly. “I'm a made man, Kariana. Plus, I've always been a great actor. How is it that you're just noticing one of my many fortes?” he boasted.The way their lips parted to guffaw angered me. I padded toward them. “How dare you!” I swung for his cheek, only to pass right through him.My anger boiled over. How could he? As if noting my misery which I knew they couldn't, Nicodemo pulled his mistress in for a kiss, the smooching sound sending me into a silent rage.“Remember everything?”She giggled in response. He kissed her again as if proud before reaching into his pocket and pulling out a key. The beep of his car echoed through the air. “There,” he informed her, taking Kariana arm in arm and striding toward the vehicle. The luxury car I'd worked my a

006Brianna Pounds “No, no, Mom, I'm here!” I shouted, running up the stairs behind her.I knew that at some point she had to see me. Maybe I needed to talk louder, follow her more closely, or jump into her space. Surely she would feel something in the air.“Lydia Pounds!” I screamed at the top of my lungs, and she stopped.I took in her state. She was a wreck, weeping. Her eyes darted toward me as we stood in the hallway, a few steps from her room.She can see me. A satisfied smile curled my lips. “I know you were pretending all along. You can see me, can't you?” She was staring right into my eyes and I was doing the same, but her gaze shifted as if she were zoning out.“Mom, stop it.” I waved in her line of sight and her eyes returned to my face. “Drop the act, no one's here.” I looked around to ensure I was right. I was. “I didn't run away. In fact, my body is in a truck miles away, headed to God knows where. If you listen to me carefully and follow my instructions, you'll be able

007Brianna Pounds Before Nico could even open his mouth, Jack raised a finger to stop him before gluing his eyes to his ringing phone. I sighed exasperatedly. Why the heck of all moments did the phone know to ring now?Fervently, I hoped he'd ignore it, but watched as he answered the call, putting it to his ear. “It's urgent, son,” he informed Nico, the legs of his chair scraping the marble as he sat up.It all was feeling like these two were smarter than I'd ever noticed. I didn't know whether to follow Jack as he cracked the door, ambling out through it, or to watch Nico closely. Nico could sit here all day waiting for Jack, and if I followed Jack, he might just be discussing business. Nico pulled me from my thoughts as my eyes caught him pulling out his phone, his fingers hovering over the keyboard.I needed to know every bit of his moves in order to help myself. Curious, I sprang to my feet and reached him in an instant to see who he was typing to. I wasn't even surprised to see

008Brianna Pounds My interest was piqued alongside my beating heart. “Need my help? With what?” She let silence settle, staring into my eyes, and I stared back unwavering.“You ask too many questions, Mommy.” She turned away, and I rose to my feet in an instant. I followed her closely enough not to crowd her, but near enough to catch her if she were to bolt, because by her speed, I could tell she might. Surprisingly, even with her small frame, she managed to pull open the front door and exit, not minding that she almost slammed it into me; I just walked through it instead.“I didn't expect you to be so inquisitive.”I could only mumble in response. I had zero clue about anything she was saying, and it was clear as day that I needed to follow her lead and play it smart. I shouldn't ask too many questions, but I had to ask enough to understand at least a fraction of what this was, this little girl suddenly showing up, the only one so far who could see me and believed I was her mother.

009 Brianna Pounds “Grandma told you? Who is Grandma?” My brows creased into lines that, if I were alive, would make me worry about wrinkles. Darcy looked over my features boldly and heaved a sigh, glancing at the grass with a look that earned me the same reaction. She is so difficult. At this point, I didn't want to press, but I asked anyway because a way out had to be found, and fast. “You mentioned earlier about needing my help. Is it okay if I asked what it is you need me for?” Without glancing at me, not even for a single second, her voice echoed, “I'm hungry. I need food.” A snort slipped past my lips, making her finally look at me. “I can't go back now without eating, Mommy. I'm very hungry.” The spirit world, the universe, or whatever, was testing me now, or maybe it was just Darcy being the little girl that she is. I would have loved to help, truly, but how was I supposed to feed a child as a ghost without making it obvious what I was? I would scare her off, and

010Brianna PoundsBirds chirped and whistled around the forest as our feet padded the dried leaves, crunching them beneath us. “Could you try to walk any faster, Mommy?” Darcy whined for the tenth time, her tiny hands still managing to grip my wrist; she hadn't let go ever since.The smile on my face and the anticipation that padded my heart had began to wear off. “Darcy, slow down. I'm new to all this. I can't walk this far. Let's take a rest, please.” “We don't have time anymore. Grandma is waiting.”Grandma is waiting, huh? All of a sudden, the kiddo was in a hurry. “I know, I know, but my feet ache like crazy.” “No, they don't,” she said. “It's all just your imagination. Grandma will teach you a lot, Mommy. Let's just keep walking; we're almost there.”We had been walking for at least half an hour, which made me hold Darcy in high regard if this was where she came all the way from just to make me help her, no, more like to make us help each other. My soles ached badly through
