Aisling felt someone shaking her shoulder. "Hey wake up." She heard a voice said.
"Wha...?" Aisling blinked and rubbed the sleep out of her eyes. She looked up and it was Ryuu's sister Takara. "Morning..." Aisling said sleepily. She stretch her arms and looked down and saw Puck sleeping on her lap. Why didn't he go back in his card?
She scratched her head and pulled her cellphone out. Her mother and father had left messages on voice mail and text messages. Aisling cringed a bit and checked the text messages. First one said;
Hey Sweetie are you done work yet?
~Mum
Second said;
How are you doing kiddo?
~Da
Third said;
Isn't it your friend Ryuu's birthday today?
~Mum
Fourth topic: urgent;
I need to tell you something important but I have an appointment so let's talk during dinner time.
~Granddad
'Huh?' Aisling thought looking at the text message her mother had sent. 'What did that meant?'
"Hey Aisling," Mari had woken up and was waking Kaki next to her. "Is your dad going to pick us up?"
"Uh," Aisling looked at her cellphone and saw the recent text message her father send.
I can't pick you today and neither can mum. So I asked Ian to pick you and your friends up. He should be there by six.
~Da
After reading the text message Aisling cellphone slipped from her hand and fell on top of Puck.
"OUCH!!!" Puck yelled loudly enough to wake everyone in the room. "That hurt!!!" Kaki jolted awake and looked around confused.
"Sorry," Aisling said picking up her cellphone. And patted Puck on the head gently. She saw Takara looked at her strangely and remember that she couldn't see spirits so that meant she couldn't see Puck. Aisling smiled awkwardly and got up.
"Did you need a ride home?" Takara asked Aisling.
"No thanks already got a ride."
"Okay, if you don't have any plans you're invited to Ryuu's birthday party today."
Aisling glanced at Ryuu and remember that it was his birthday today. "Okay I'll drop by," she smiled at Takara. "Thanks for inviting me."
Her cellphone vibrated and she received another text message.
Oi I'm out front R U up?
~Ian
Aisling jumped and almost dropped her cellphone again.
"Are you alright?" Mari asked me.
"Y-yeah I'm fine." Aisling said putting the phone away. "Um our ride's here we should go. Bye guys."
Aisling left the classroom in a hurry. "Hey Aisling! Slow down!" Mari called after her. Aisling stopped felt embarrassed she had rushed off without them.
Mari and Kaki caught up with Aisling. "What's wrong?" Mari asked Aisling.
"Uh it's nothing." Aisling said quickly and avoided making eye contact.
They went outside and at the front of the school was a large five seated black trunk. A guy was leaning on the driver's side door. It was Ian, a tall broad shoulder college boy with jet black hair and bright brown eyes. "Morning, Aisling," Ian greeted her with a British accent similar to her father's. "Did you had a sleep over here?"
"Hi Ian, uh yeah sort of." Said Aisling running a hand through her hair. Feeling self conscious that she hadn't brushed it in a long time. Puck was sitting on her shoulder and looked at Ian suspiciously.
"Um these are my friends Mari and Kaki." Aisling said motioning her hand towards Mari and Kaki. "This is Ian, he's a student of da's."
"Hi," Mari said and Kaki said nothing moved closer to Mari.
"Hi," Ian said smiling at them. "Prof asked me to drop you guys off at the castle. Okay then everybody climb aboard."
They got in the truck. Mari and Kaki sat in the back and Aisling was in the passenger's seat. She kept her eyes on the clutched hands on her lap.
"Had a good day at work?" Ian asked
"Uh yes." Aisling said hunching her shoulders. Puck looked at her and then at Ian and rolled his eyes.
"Doctor Owen called me and he said the White Rabbit's back."
Aisling looked at Ian in surprised, "He is?"
"Yeah he's already causing trouble and he would like your help again."
"Oh I dunno. Is it serious?"
"No he's just pulling the usually pranks."
"Who's the White Rabbit?" Mari asked from the back seat.
"He's a ghost that haunts the local hospital." Ian explained. "At first he was a harmless prankster but he would lead the kids out of their beds late at night and the night staff would freak out when they found out they went missing. He usually pulled harmless pranks but then he kept the sick kids up and lead them out of bed to the morgue or the roof and then his pranks aren't funny anymore."
"I need to talk to him," Aisling muttered.
"Dr. Owen was wanting to call this other guys. I think one of them was called Nino..."
Aisling eyes widen and shook her head. "No I'll exorcise the ghost this time I promise." She said rather loudly.
"Okay okay keep your hair on. Do you know this Nino?"
"Yes," Aisling said. She didn't want someone like Nino exorcising the ghost. She still didn't exactly agree with his methods.
"Here we are," Ian pulled up the drive way of Aisling's house.
Aisling, Mari and Kaki got out of the truck. "See you later Aisling," Ian waved and winked at her and Aisling felt herself blushed. "And it was nice meeting you two." Ian said to Mari and Kaki. He drove off and Aisling watched him go.
"Hey Aisling?" Mari asked
"Yeah?"
"Do you...have a crush on him?"
Aisling turned red again, "N-n-no!"
"Aisling and Ian sittin' in a tree," Puck started singing, "K-I-S-S-" He stopped when Aisling tried to hit him and flew away.
"SHUT UP!" Aisling shouted and chased him into the house.
~*~
Two black crows flew into an open window at the school. Before they even landed on the floor they turned into women dress in black. One was tall and slim and the other was also tall but sumo sized large.
"Look! We like finally found the place so where's our beloved sister?" Said the skinny woman Badb.
"She's this way," the other woman Macha. She walked down the hall and almost filled it with her large size but her sister Badb manage to walk beside her without being squished between the wall and Macha.
They found a pile of black feathers lying on the floor. Badb made a tutting noise and picked up one of the feathers. She held one feather with one hand and raised her other hand to her mouth. Her sharp incisors bit into the tip of her finger and dark red blood trailed down her hand. She smeared the blood on the feather and blew on it.
The feather fell from her hand and grew into a human sized black mass. The mass took solid form and turned into Morrigan. Morrigan blinked and growled, "About time you revived me."
"Sorry sorry," Madb said in an annoying sing song voice and crossed her arms behind her head. "We couldn't find the place. We were like f****** lost for hours. Sorry that we couldn't back you up. I heard you got owned by the little vampire" Madb laughed wickedly
"Whatever," Morrigan hissed. "I want to get back at the damn vamp!"
"Well it's like day time so she must be hiding until night fall. Anyway Lord Noiren wants to speak with you." Madb smirked.
Morrigan stiffen and nodded curtly. "Alright let's go we have no business here."
The three sisters turned into crows and fell through one of the windows.

Okay that's it. I wanted Aisling to deal with normal ghosts but I thought that was too early from after what she's been through. Also I wanted to introduce Ian XD I've been wanting to introduce him before but I completely forgot about him.
So Morrigan is back...well I wasn't sure if she was dead in the first place but anyway the sisters can't died that easily. If one of them dies they can be revived from the other so the only way to make sure they stay dead is to kill all three of them.
I hope it was good I wanted to post this now because I can't sleep thanks to mom >.<
Well good night :D
