Welcome to Gaia! ::

But she made it to the portal in the end. "See. All...safe....now," she said as she worked the human in through the portal. All done. She'd saved her first human! If she wasn't so tired she might have clapped her hands. Besides, she still had to make sure it was really safe, and all set to be released back into the human world. Marcy followed her human through the portal.

The little poltergeist found she and her human were NOT where they should have been. This place looked....well. Marcy had no idea. It reminded her of a road, a human road like she'd seen in a book, but a little bigger. And the buildings around them were huge...especially the one covered in vines. That was....strange. She hadn't heard of humans living in plant houses. Marcy shook her head and looked away. For some reason that direction hurt to look at.

She looked down at her human just as the shaking started. Everything was shaking. What could that be???

Marcy turned to see.... OH. Oh, goodness. WHAT WAS THAT? It was HUGE and unlike anything she'd ever seen. Wisps of the things began to peel off and reach for them.... "AHH!" Marcy screamed and doubled over in pain when it spoke to her.

We will consume you and your Fear will be ours.

Marcy found she was shaking on her own- It was going to EAT HER? Take her Fear? She needed that...it WAS her. She looked up at the beast...and saw the tendrils reaching again...and she felt their Fear. They were Fear...from Halloween. Others..that had been devoured. They screamed and she felt it. She felt their pain, their horror, and she felt the fact that they were not them anymore.

Marcy looked at her human. She couldn't leave it. Drawing on everything she had, Marcy hugged the human around the torso again. She poured her telekinesis into this, all of her strength, and she ran. She picked up the human and ran.

OKAY. WHAT WAS NEXT?

Marcy had a moment of panic as she thought about it. Oh. Oh. Right. Drivers do things with their feet. Her fee barely reached the pedals, but they did reach, and if she scooted forwards so she was almost on the edge of her seat... Ah yes. Okay she could reach them now.

The Thing chasing them was getting closer, everything was shaking.

Hands on the wheel, push the pedal.... NOTHING HAPPENED. "No! No!" Oh. There WAS a second pedal. Marcy gave that a try. The engine roared~ but the car didn't move. "What? What? What am I forgetting?"

The little ghost thought. Hands on the wheel, feet on the pedal...and drivers also used the stick next to them. OH. The one that said DRIVE might help. Marcy pushed the stick to it lined up with DRIVE....and tried the pedal again.

The car lurched forward, the movement scaring Marcy enough she lifted her foot off the pedal, causing the car to stop again. Her human fell forward with a thud.

The feeling of Fear behind them grew the thing was still gaining.

Marcy pushed down on the pedal again, and her human fell back.

Her hands were on the wheel, and if her knuckles could have been any paler they would have been. As it was, they were quite see through. Marcy found the car was moving to the right, and she jerked the wheel, sending the car the other way. Her foot seemed to pressing down of it's own accord, the car getting faster and faster.

She just wanted to be away from the thing. Far, far away.

Just as she jerked the car to the left again (it seemed to like the right side of things), she felt a NEW bit of Fear. The portal! It was a head of them. She KNEW it. Her hands gripped the wheel tighter, her foot pressed down even more, and even though the car went form side to side a fair bit- it went down the road. It went away from the thing and towards the portal.

In fact, if she had bothered to check the rear view mirrors, Marcy would have seen that she left the thing in the dust. But she didn't, since she didn't know what those mirrors were there for.

And then she saw their destination. The portal! Marcy could have cried with relief. They were nearly home, nearly safe. She wasn't going to get devoured, and her human would be safe.

She just had to stop the car now. Taking a guess, she slammed her foot on the other pedal. The car jerked and squealed, momentum sending her into the driving wheel and her human forward again. But it stopped. The car stopped.

Marcy hopped out, then ran to her human's door and pulled the human out. The car started to slowly roll, but Marcy paid it no mind.

They had a portal to get to.
