"Come on!" The spirit shouted.
"Put her down, and let's get started!" She exclaimed.
"You're way too happy about this for somebody who's going to lose, you know!" Alastair shouted.
"I love confidence in a man; it turns me on, you know!" The spirit giggled from across the room.
"Shut up and play whatever song it is you want to dance to; we're limited on time!" Alastair exclaimed.
"Aw, come on now, don't be such a stick in the mud Mr. Exorcist...!" The spirit whined as she hit play and hustled to the center of the dance floor.
"Wait!" Alastair cried suddenly.
"I just realized, how will we determine who wins this ridiculous competition or not?!" He yelled.
"Eh...?" The spirit quickly turned to him.
"Ah, it seems you're right..." She mumbled.
"You...!" Alastair growled.

Alastair said."This song played at my beloved aunt's funeral, not that it matters to you, though..." The spirit muttered."Shouldn't you be happy?" Alastair questioned."Huh?" The spirit looked up at him."You'll be seeing your aunt soon then, isn't that great?" He smiled.The spirit's eyes widened."Y-you don't get it, do you..." She mumbled."She wanted me to live for her sake because she died so young, and yet here I am!" The spirit began choking up."I broke my promise to her all for some momentary bliss...!"

She began hesitantly.Alastair raised a brow."You should probably get some sleep yourself, yes?" She questioned."Nope, I'm not tired," Alastair said, brushing her off."But, Al...!" Rachael protested.Suddenly there came a knock at the door."Now what..." Alastair grumbled, walking over to the door.Upon opening it, he was greeted by Paige and Aya."Someone is complaining of a disturbance on the maintenance level of the building," Paige began."So...?"

A voice suddenly called out. "Ah!" Rachael exclaimed, quickly falling off of her bed. "Is everything okay, kid?" Alastair smiled as he slowly began to close the door to her bedroom. "A-ah, wait, Alastair, you know I hate the dark, please don't close the door!" Rachael pleaded. "What, are you afraid of ghosts?" He laughed. No way... Is the spirit already onto me...?!

"Why didn't you ask for my help...?" Her voice cracked. "R-Rachael..." Alastair sighed, stroking her head. "We are a team, yes?" She looked up at him hopefully. Alastair stared at her for a moment. Despite the near-death experiences the young girl had recently been through, she still wanted to fight by Alastair's side. How could he possibly say no to the girl after all that she had just risked?

Aya said, shaking her head. "Where's Rachael?" Alastair asked, letting out a yawn. "Ah, Paige took her out to the modeling agency today; she thought getting her out of the house and socializing her might help a bit!" She beamed. "Are you nuts?!" Alastair shouted. "Why, what's wrong with that?!" Aya cried out. "Aya," Alastair began, laughing nervously. "Have you forgotten that that place is searching for Rachael?" He asked, glancing up at her. "W-what place...?" Aya whispered, cocking her head. "Aya, please don't make me say it,"

"M-mm, I just came to take Rachael home," Alastair said. Suddenly Rachael pinched Alastair's hand. "Ow! What was that for, Rachael?!" He cried angrily. "I just wanted to make sure you weren't still possessed, yes?" She said with a giggle. "W-why would I be-" "Paige!" A woman called out. "Hm?" Paige turned around, met by a photographer.

She stammered. "What are you doing here?" She questioned. "Look," he began. "Things got pretty hectic at work, and I know Kiernan's birthday is around the corner, so if you could hand her this and let her know, I said happy birthday," he rambled. Aya stared at him blankly for a moment. "Honch," she began. "Look, Aya, I really have to go; please tell her I said hi and that I'm sorr-" Before he could continue, Aya shook her head. "What would Tessa think of this situation?" She questioned. "I doubt she'd be thrilled to know that you're skipping out on your daughter's birthday," Aya frowned. Honch opened his mouth to respond but quickly shut it. "Honch..." Aya whispered. "Aya," Honch began, looking down at the floor. "I know Tessa wouldn't be happy with me, however," he paused. "I

"I'm sorry, however-" Before the help desk employee could continue, however, Alastair slammed his fist down yet again. "What room?!" He shrieked tearfully. "R-room 246...!" The employee yelped. "Come on!" Alastair shouted, grabbing a sobbing Aya by the wrist as the two ran hurriedly down the hallway. "Excuse me, please, no running!" A nurse cried out. "Shut it!" Alastair screamed. As the two arrived at room 246, they stopped to catch their breath. "Tessa, please be okay..." Aya whimpered. Whispers were coming from inside the room, along with the sound of an infant's cry.
