Rebecca Stone - A Reintroduction PT5 (Patreon)

"So! From what I've gathered! These spirits are revenants! They said they're former inhabitants of this very hotel!"

"Hang about. You SPOKE to them?" Both Elizabeth and the man asked in unison.

Not getting an answer the woman continued to explain. "Revenants are vengeful beings looking for revenge after an unjust death. Revenants show the following traits such as--" Elizabeth zoned out briefly as her mind wandered to the fire seven years ago before cutting Rebecca off. "Could they be the souls of those who died in the fire?"

"Yeah! Yeah! Good thinking!" Rebecca pointed her finger at Elizabeth, jumping up and down rather excitedly. FINALLY! She had a legitimate job for the first time in months! Not to mention the first one she'd in that time where someone HADN'T tried to hire the witch for a birthday party.

Not that the Man seemed to believe. "Alright, you two are crazy...I'm out of here..." as he turned to leave, an invisible force grabbed the man's leg. Tripping him over before raising him up into the air. Thrashing the man around as he screamed bloody murder.

"OH MY GOD! REBECCA?!" Elizabeth backed away from the now floating man, shooting a glance towards the blonde woman who quickly pulled out a smudge stick, lighting it with her lighter as she held it upwards towards the man. There, multiple ghosts were given twisted forms.

The ghosts circled the duo, as they plucked and pulled at their clothing and limbs, Elizabeth was hoisted high up into the air as Rebecca dropped her smudge stuck. She too was held high up. Their bodies would be stretched and contorted as if they were action figures. The smudge stick on the ground still burned, eventually covering the room with its protective smoke.

The revenants recoiled, clearly being affected by the gradual exposure to the smudge stick. Dropping the trio with a thud as they backed away from the room which was now filled with the smudge stick's essence, the three quickly got to their feet. Retreating back into the office they left before.

"What-- what was that!? WHAT WAS THAT!?" The man yelled, holding his leg as he leaned against the desk. Rebecca quickly drew more lines and symbols on the ground and doorframe as if 'barricading' the door. "Revenants! Super aggressive! Vengeful like I said... "

"You said they're looking for revenge!? Why attack us!?" The man asked Rebecca as Elizabeth looked at the man almost examining him from head to toe.

"Hey I didn't say WHAT kind of revenge they want."
