Ghost Hunters Mystery-Detective
Reeks: Ghost Hunters Mystery-Detective
S. H. Marpel
- They
- call
- me
- Mysti.
- Because
- of
- my
- mystic
- origins.The
- beings
- who
- raised
- me
- almost
- killed
- me
- before
- they
- found
- out
- my
- real
- value.They
- became
- my
- mentors,
- and
- then
- -
- as
- my
- powers
- expanded
- -
- my
- servants.What
- they
- never
- knew
- is
- that
- "mystic"
- means
- both
- master
- and
- novice.So
- I
- left
- them
- to
- find
- someone
- who
- could
- actually
- teach
- me
- balance
- between
- the
- two
- extremes
- that
- lived
- inside
- me.
- And
- like
- a
- double-edged
- sword,
- could
- cut
- both
- ways.And
- like
- a
- flip
- of
- the
- coin,
- either
- of
- my
- faces
- could
- show
- at
- any
- time.One
- of
- salvation,
- the
- other
- of
- instant
- anhilation.Like
- I
- was
- now
- facing
- -
- in
- person.(Part
- 4
- of
- 4)Excerpt:When
- she
- admitted
- to
- hurting
- three
- other
- young
- women
- who
- came
- to
- me
- for
- help.
- I
- stood
- up
- from
- the
- round
- table,
- The
- chair
- behind
- me
- scooted
- back.My
- hands
- were
- clenched
- into
- fists,
- although
- I
- then
- forced
- them
- to
- relax.The
- atmosphere
- in
- that
- main
- room
- of
- the
- Western
- saloon
- went
- cool,
- or
- it
- felt
- so
- to
- me.I
- had
- three
- girls
- upstairs
- who
- had
- gone
- unconscious,
- all
- of
- which
- possessed
- unique
- supernatural
- abilities.
- Bending
- time
- and
- space.
- A
- trained
- warrior
- who
- could
- throw
- disintegrating
- fireballs
- from
- her
- bare
- hands.
- And
- the
- last
- was
- able
- to
- generate
- the
- heat
- and
- radiation
- of
- a
- star
- in
- space.And
- here
- was
- the
- person
- who
- admitted
- to
- knocking
- them
- all
- out,
- burning
- two
- of
- them,
- and
- various
- cuts
- to
- their
- bodies
- through
- bulletproof
- clothing.For
- me
- to
- get
- into
- any
- physical
- conflict
- with
- her
- would
- be
- foolhardy
- at
- best.
- Suicidal
- at
- worst.Hami
- and
- Gaia
- also
- stood
- at
- this.
- Gaia
- was
- more
- to
- worry
- about
- than
- any
- of
- us
- in
- the
- room.
- But
- her
- skills
- as
- an
- Earth
- goddess
- were
- a
- bit
- of
- a
- blunt
- instrument.
- Sinking
- whole
- continents
- at
- a
- gesture
- was
- more
- her
- trademark.Hami
- was
- better
- at
- cooking
- and
- healing
- -
- but
- it
- was
- her
- and
- I
- standing
- there
- that
- kept
- Gaia
- from
- taking
- any
- action,
- regardless
- of
- how
- she
- felt
- about
- this
- stranger.The
- golden-headed
- woman
- lowered
- her
- insulated
- hood
- and
- padded
- toward
- us
- in
- soft-soled,
- high-topped
- boots."I've
- heard
- about
- you,
- John
- of
- the
- Ghost
- Hunters,
- and
- read
- all
- about
- the
- Lazurai
- you've
- written
- up.
- Those
- two
- factors
- brought
- me
- here.
- And,
- as
- much
- as
- it
- may
- have
- just
- upset
- you,
- I've
- come
- to
- you
- for
- help.Because
- I'm
- dying."-
- -
- -
- -"Is
- there
- some
- reason
- that
- I
- should
- do
- anything
- to
- preserve
- your
- life
- when
- you
- just
- put
- three
- of
- my
- friends
- into
- critical
- condition
- upstairs?""Only
- your
- basic
- humanity.
- And
- one
- story
- you
- wrote
- about
- 'autists'
- -
- as
- you
- called
- them.
- Gaia
- here
- would
- understand
- this
- condition
- as
- being
- 'unbalanced'
- and
- is
- what
- is
- killing
- me,
- slowly."Hami
- walked
- behind
- me
- and
- crossed
- to
- face
- her.
- "If
- you
- wouldn't
- mind,
- could
- I
- have
- your
- hand
- -
- I
- only
- want
- to
- read
- it.
- Oh,
- I'm
- Hami,
- you
- said
- you
- know
- of
- Gaia
- and
- John.
- Do
- you
- have
- a
- name?"The
- red-head
- held
- a
- thin,
- pale
- hand
- out
- for
- Hami,
- palm
- up.
- "My
- name
- is
- Mysti."(Part
