“They’re in two different places. Andrew is in the place where most spirits who choose the Earthly plane stay. Isaac is in a place of his own making. He’s confined there – I’m not sure that it’s even a choice any longer.”
“How can we…”
“You will not like that answer, Jack. We have to help him to cross out and into our world. I’m afraid that if he could, he would already have. He knew that we were trying to find Andrew.”
Isaac was always stubborn.The form faded until there was only a mist hanging in the air.
“I have an idea, and it’s a very bad one.”
“How could he touch my dresser and throw all my clothes around if he’s not on this plane?”
“Maybe his dresser was in the same place. You and Isaac have a synchronicity that only you have. It is why I can see himwhen I touch you, but I think you’ve always been able to, Jack. You just didn’t know how. His energy and yours have spiraled together over the years.”
“I… I do not like where this is headed.”
“I know.”
Please.
“Fuck my life. All I wanted was normal, you know. I just wanted a ghost-free house, and now I have two.”
Please.
“We have to bring them together. This is the only way.”
“You’re not strong enough for this, babe. You can barely stand.”
Archie stood slowly. “I’m… recovering. It wasn’t having Andrew inside me that made me so tired. It was all of the energy I had to give him to even form. I’m replenishing. Your house is so full of energy, and now Andrew isn’t as weak. I’ll be ok, Hulk.”
“We really need to work on your terms of endearment.”
“We’ll have time.”
“I’m counting on that and holding you to it.”
“I know.”
“So what do we do?” I asked, knowing that I was going to hate the answer.
“Isaac is trapped in a world of his own making. His despair and loneliness, the sickness that he had when he was living, have shrouded him. He will need help crossing through.”
“I really hate this.”
“I’ll be there to guide you, but I won’t be alone. Isaac will know – he will see Andrew’s spirit inside me – I hope. That should be enough for him to agree.”
“Agree to… Me?”
“Yes. I’ll let Andrew back in, and then the two of us will touch. Isaac will want to cross over, but to do that, he will needyour help. Your auras and energies are so tightly interwound that only you can help him escape, Jack.”
“I have to let that bitchy ghost possess me? No fucking way! I wouldn’t even know how.”
“I’ll guide you. We can do this, I promise, Jack. Together I think we could do anything, don’t you? They deserve to be together.”
Like you two,Drew managed.Please?
“Imagine waiting for someone your whole lifebut never beingable to find them when they are standing right in front of you. But you can’t see them or touch them. It would drive you mad.”
“How do I do this?”
