Our esteemed colleague, Psychic Julia Hathaway<\/a>, was out jogging in the Mystical Forest\u00a0Monday morning before work, when she hears a man screaming in agony.\u00a0 She finds a blond haired man in his early 40’s lying in a gully.\u00a0 He identified himself as Landon Oliver.\u00a0 He’d apparently fell off the edge of the crushed stone trail, and twisted his ankle.\u00a0 Julia scurried down into the deep ditch to help the injured man.\u00a0 She examined his leg, and at that point acquired a vision of the man faking it along with having a specter of evil hanging about him.\u00a0 She quickly turned to climb out, and away from Landon but he stuck a needle in her neck.<\/p>\n Julia began to loose consciousness as she collapsed on the ground.\u00a0 Landon knelt over her with a sinister smile as he said,”Yes dear just let the medicine cure what ails you.\u00a0 Soon we will be home.\u00a0 You’ll need to get ready for our party guests sweetheart”\u00a0 Julia black out at that point, and awakened hours later lying on a couch within Landon’s living room.\u00a0 He was nowhere to be seen so she got up slowly and then sat down again due to the dizziness caused by the drugs she had been injected with.\u00a0 She finally got up again, and staggered for the front door.\u00a0 She struggled with the multiple locks but her\u00a0fingers were too numb to function properly.\u00a0\u00a0 She finally said,”To hell with this!”\u00a0 She waved her arm as she does when using her telekinetic powers.\u00a0 Although it was much slower since her arm felt like it was being held down by a sack of bricks.\u00a0Unfortunately nothing happened.\u00a0 Apparently the drugs were interfering with her powers.\u00a0 She then focused all her psychic energies on the chain lock, and it began to slide slowly.\u00a0 It came free, and then she concentrated on the dead bolt lock.\u00a0 It began to turn just as Landon grabbed her shoulder while laughing maniacally.\u00a0 He then exclaimed,”Oh honey you can’t leave now!\u00a0 The parties just getting started!”<\/p>\n Landon directed her into the bedroom, and sat her down in front of table with a mirror in front of it complete with\u00a0spherical lights on the edges.\u00a0 He began styling her hair, and went on about what a wonderful party they were going to have.\u00a0 She hoped he really as nutty enough to kidnap someone, and then throw a party.\u00a0 Although with her luck it was a party of crazy cultists.\u00a0 As he applied her make-up Julia got a vision of Landon killing several people.\u00a0 She realized she was being held hostage by a serial killer.<\/p>\n Meanwhile at Mystic Investigations we were all wondering why Julia had not come into work or at least called in with an excuse.\u00a0 Minutes later the roar of an Aston Martin V12 Vanquish\u00a0speeding into the back of the building into a protective canopy.\u00a0 Drake Alexander<\/a> rushed out from the silver tinted windowed sport car with a look of urgency on his face.\u00a0 He told us that he had a bad feeling that Julia was in trouble, and we believed him because he shared a psychic bond of sorts with Julia.\u00a0 Vampires have a tendency to know when friends are in trouble, and Drake was no exception.\u00a0 Rebecca Abernathy<\/a>, our expert in Witchcraft, cast a magical locater spell on a map of Woodland Springs.\u00a0 She then used a violet colored Amethyst crystal, attached to a pure silver chain, to scry for Julia’s current location.\u00a0 The crystal landed hard on Sassafras Street which was a supposedly run of the mill suburban neighborhood.\u00a0 Regrettably the map didn’t have exact street addresses.\u00a0 So Drake hopped into his car with special windows to filter out the suns rays which are deadly to vampire while me, and Rebecca slid into my Lamborghini.\u00a0 The rest of the gang got into the Mystic Van, and we all sped away to the street in question.\u00a0 However I stopped at Woodland Springs High School to excuse Zack Powers<\/a> from his classes so he could join us in out quest for Julia Hathaway.<\/p>\n Back at Landon’s house Julia was starting to feel better as she stood in a walk in closet full of dresses.\u00a0 Landon told her to pick her favorite one out for the party.\u00a0 She played along with him, and touched his shoulder as she smiled so she could get a vision.\u00a0 He liked the simple pink dress, and saw that he had killed a woman right on the spot for choosing the red frilly dress.\u00a0 She chose the right dress, and he was beyond pleased.\u00a0 He then sat Julia on the bed, and showed her an album full of womens photos.\u00a0 He then flipped through the pages, and said,”These are my ladies.\u00a0 All had great potential to be fine hostesses but they all disappointed me.\u00a0 I regret that they never made it through the party.\u00a0 However they deserved what they got when they embarrassed me in front of my friends.”\u00a0 He then turned the album upside down, and flipped through it again revealing the same women who were bloodied, and clearly dead in the photos.\u00a0 Julia stayed calm at the horror she was witnessing, and happily replied,”Well let us hope I fare better than these undeserving women.\u00a0 I love engaging in the art of entertaining!”\u00a0 Landon smiled at her, and answered,”Yes I have a good feeling about you.\u00a0 Maybe you’ll finally be the one to host a successful party.”<\/p>\n They walked into the kitchen where food was being prepared, and he motioned for her to cut up some vegetables.\u00a0 Her fingers weren’t numb anymore, and she was able to cut with the large butcher knife.\u00a0 She thought about using it on him but she got the feeling it was a test, and she couldn’t get an exact read on what his response might be.\u00a0 However there was a knife on the counter in back of him, and she focused her telekinetic powers upon it.\u00a0 It began to rise off the counter about 5 inches before it fell back down.\u00a0 Landon quickly turned to look at what had made the noise as he said,’What was that?”\u00a0 Julia replied,”I didn’t hear anything.\u00a0 Clearly her powers were more effected than her body by the drugs.<\/p>\n Julia sat down at the kitchen table, and Landon poured her some wine.\u00a0 She as reluctant to drink it but he insisted so she did.\u00a0 The patio door nearby was slightly ajar, and she decided to make a run for it when his back was turned.\u00a0 He opened the stove to check on a roast, and then she bolted out the door.\u00a0 However she was stopped in her tracks by a large ferocious German Shepard.\u00a0 Landon strolled out, and said,”Ah I see you met Mr. Jowls.\u00a0 Settle down boy!”\u00a0 I then innocently replied,”I love dogs, and I just wanted to come out, and meet him.\u00a0 He replied,”of course you did my dear.\u00a0 Of course you did”\u00a0 Julia looked around the back yard which was a beautiful garden compete with pond, and waterfall.\u00a0 The whole yard was surrounded by a tall fence although the second story of nearby homes could be seen.\u00a0 She thought about screaming since she now knew she was in a crowed residential neighborhood.\u00a0 Julia decided to be smart, and play it cool.<\/p>\n Landon was excited that the party guests would be arriving soon, and so was Julia.\u00a0 The more people who knew she was there, the better. She tried her telekinetic powers again but now she couldn’t even get a pen to float.\u00a0 She felt light headed again, and realized that the wine must have been spiked.\u00a0 Landon told her to go lie down on the couch until the guests arrived.\u00a0 As she lie there she attempted to do something she never tried before.\u00a0\u00a0 Direct the drug into her liver faster, and get the drug metabolized so it would wear off faster.\u00a0 She concentrated on that task for several minutes, and felt better as the door bell rang.<\/p>\n Landon grabbed Julia from the couch, and ran to the door with her.\u00a0 He told her to put on a smile, and he opened the door.\u00a0 Nobody was there but Landon was greeting someone, and having a complete conversation with them as he motioned whatever inside, and closed the door.\u00a0 As Landon held her arm she got a vision.\u00a0 This was the point when most of the women died.\u00a0 Julia realized that his guests were a figment of his imagination, and when his victims didn’t see them they failed as hostesses, and died.\u00a0 Landon asked,”Why aren’t you answering Harvey?\u00a0 He wants to know…”\u00a0 Julia replied,”Where I work?\u00a0 Well Harvey I’m Associate Vice-President at a company called Mystic Investigations.”\u00a0 Landon looked at her in utter shock.<\/p>\n Landon stuttered a bit as he said,”You can hear what he said?”\u00a0 Julia then said,”Yes of course.\u00a0 Harvey, and his girlfriend Becky are standing right in front of us.”\u00a0 Landon now awe struck said,”What color dress is she wearing?”\u00a0 She replied,”Blue with small yellow flowers on it.”\u00a0 Landon couldn’t believe she could see his imaginary friends.\u00a0 Friends he had since he was a disturbed child.\u00a0 Friends nobody had seen before.\u00a0 On one hand he was elated that he could finally share his life with someone but on the other hand he was denied a rightous kill.\u00a0 At least in his sick mind.<\/p>\n The door bell rang again, and Julia wondered how she had heard it the first time without touching Landon.\u00a0 They went to the door to greet more imaginary guests.\u00a0 Within minutes the house was full of character manufactured in Landon’s mind.\u00a0 Julia soon had enough of a connection with the serial killer so that she didn’t have to touch him to see the figments of his imagination.\u00a0 Landon stood smiling as she held conversations with them, and poured them drinks from an empty wine bottle into a non-existent glass.\u00a0 Soon it was time for dinner, and everyone sat at the dining room table.<\/p>\n Some time later me, and my team of investigators were scouring the neighborhood for Julia.\u00a0 We went door to door with various excuses in order to get a look inside people’s homes.\u00a0 Drake strolled about in the sun wearing only sun glasses thanks to a dose of gnomes blood he’d just taken.\u00a0 He only had a small amount but this was worth using it.\u00a0 It was a big neighborhood, and it was taking time to get through the homes.\u00a0 Me, and Rebecca were invited into an old couples house after we showed interest in buying the place.\u00a0 Drake, and Ashley<\/a> pretended to Jehovah’s Witnesses preaching the good news.\u00a0 Although that didn’t get them far.\u00a0 Hunter<\/a>, and Rob<\/a> pretended to collect for charity.\u00a0 They in fact donated the money they collected.\u00a0 Zack, and Elizabeth<\/a> pretended to be in an accident so they could use the phone.\u00a0 Unfortunately that didn’t work out well.\u00a0 At least for the guy who owned the home.\u00a0 He turned out to be a pedo who came on to Zack.\u00a0 Zack kicked him in the balls with his bionic foot,\u00a0 The perv will never be the same.\u00a0 They thought for sure they’d find Julia there but it was clearly the wrong house.<\/p>\n Julia appeared to enjoy her real meal with Landon as the imaginary guests ate off empty plates which were in fact full in Landon’s mind.\u00a0 She could tell Landon was thinking of some excuse to kill her despite his feelings of kinship with her.\u00a0He truly was disturbed in the head.\u00a0 She caressed his hand to get a vision…<\/p>\n To Be Continued….<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"
