When Zak said he would contact a medium, I didn't know he meant as soon as he got home. But that is exactly what he did. Now we are travelling to California.

"Are you going to speak to me yet?" He asks.

"It's a little soon." I mutter back. I only had my hospital appointment yesterday and now we were here?

He turns off the radio which had been covering our silence for most of the way. "Why wait? Haven't you put up with this long enough?"

I sigh "I just thought I would be able to pay my respects before I send her to god knows where."

He rubbed his forehead "This isn't something like Supernatural, she won't burst into flames."

I frown at him for that comment.

"Patti will talk to her. Find out why she is here. Why she is coming to see you.."

"Probably because I watched her die Zak. I saw her! In the seat! I watched the fear in her eyes! Me! That is why she is with me!"

He reached over and tried to take my hand, but I pulled them away making him settle on putting his hand on my thigh. "I know you're upset... But trust me will you? Patti is the nicest medium I know. She is also a white witch."

My head snapped to the side and glared at him "So if she doesn't leave when you want, you're going to what? Send her away like some stray?! No! If she doesn't leave then she stays. Do you hear me?"

He clenched his jaw "I'm trying... To make you better."

"What if you can't? What if this is what I am now? An emotional wreck?! Who envisions a little girl when she's loosing her shit! This all could be a waste of time. What if this is just my imagination? What if-"

"I felt her too Katy. Okay? I sensed her a lot quicker than you think."

I looked down at my hands as I twisted my fingers "What if she is just looking for her resting place?"

"I have no doubt that she knows where it is. She didn't come to you straight away."

"Billy was right.." I mumbled looking out my window.

"Right about what? Billy knows about the girl?!" He snapped.

"No.. I- He warned me not to scratch at the wall of what I put up in my head, he said anything could come through.. Well she came through as well, didn't she?"

"I don't know.." He answered before turning the radio back on letting the music drown the silence we both fell back into.

I chewed my lip with stress as Zak hugged the women, her eyes were bright and her smile was friendly, but I still held my reserves..  I didn't know her. How could I trust her?

"How are you?" She asked rubbing his back.

My eyes hardened causing her to look over at me. "I can sense the anger..." She spoke making my heart bottom out. "What is it? Is it because I'm touching him?"

I swallowed down the green eyes that stirred in my stomach. Zak looked over at me with a frown, no doubt he thinks I'm being stupid... I guess I am.

"Come in. Katy isn't it?" She smiles holding her hand out.

I look down at it and stuff my hands into my jacket "I- I can't. I'm sorry."

"No problem, Zak." She gestured to enter what I presumed would be a psychic room. I expected candles, incense, a crystal ball, a Ouija board, tarot cards and decorated drapes with all different symbols. But I was stunned to find a light breezy room, with white voiles that moved gently in the window, a table for two, covered in a white cloth, a salt lamp and a small cabinet that I had no doubt was filled with ingredients, seeing as Zak said she was a witch.
