Last time we saw Morgarna, Merlin and co they were stuck in the dark ..
Carefully they edged their up the hallway feeling for a door or an opening of some sort. As they neared the end of the corridor they found a door, letting themselves in they found a young man sat infront of a huge flat screen TV busy playing a game 🎮.
Morgarna and Merlin recognised that this was the young man who the ghosts at the cemetery had described as the lad the Entity had entered.
Morgarna was feeling a tad uneasy….an unusual feeling for her but since the loss of powers she had had this feeling a couple of times and she was not impressed by it at all.
Merlin felt along the wall and found the light switch! As the light came on the young man shouted “put that light out please and dont stop me playing this game, it the only way I can keep the voice out of my head!…please it’s such a nasty piece of work it keeps threatening to make me murder someone, this game is the only way to quiten him.”
“Really” asked Merlin as he turned the light back off. ” What’s it doing now?” Actually I think he’s asleep the game seems to have lulled him into a deep sleep, I am actually scared to move incase he starts again. What in God’s name is he/it?”
“Now you are going to have to go with us on this … he’s actually an Entity from another galaxy and time. A nasty piece of work ….a real rouge and an escaped prisoner from Zenex 4 a prison satellite off of the third planet from Xod a far off Sun”. Merlin finished raising an eyebrow to Morgarna.
Morgarna handed the lad a cup of coffee and a bacon sandwich , “here” she said, “you look tired how long have you been playing this game now ?”
The lad looked at his two visiters and said , “Oh! Wow ! Just what I needed thank you ” taking the sandwich from Morgarna he looked at his watch and said ” four hours now …. Look okay if he’s an Entity from a prison satellite off of planet “Zog” in a far away galaxy what is he doing here and how do you know about him? ” He ended taking a bite on his sarnie !
Merlin sat down next to the lad and asked, “So this game seems to quieten him?”
The lad laughed ” it does more than quieten him it sends him to sleep, spark out ….but I can move, or stop the game or he takes over…it really is exhausting!”
Morgarna slumped down onto the sofa as well and asked, “okay if I keep you fed and watered can you keep it up? “
” Yes mam that’s the easy bit the trouble is when he wakes up and starts making nasty demands of me at least while I am playing this gruesome war game he’s sleeping and happy but it can’t last forever! “
Merlin made sure Morgarna was happy holding the fort and used the Anomaly to go back to the lab.
An hour later Merlin landed back in the dark lounge …”Right young man what’s your name?”
“Ryan”
Merlin said down and continued, ” I have just been back to our lab and contacted Zenex 4 , they were delighted to hear we have their escapee safely contained here! Apparently his name is Ceron and he’s a physopath who happily inhabits any host he can find and cheerfully murders anyone he fancies. This guy has left a trail across time and space that makes Vlad the Impaler and Ghingus Khan look like sweethearts.”
“Wow! ” Said Ryan “and he’s in me…Sheesh that’s not good , luckily I have not murdered anyone “
“So what’s happening now? ” Morgarna interrupted .
“They are on it Hun, a recovery team is on its way to these coordinates as we speak. So if you can hold on a little longer Ryan he’ll soon be dealt with! “
Morgarna lit a cigarette and poured everyone a Bacardi and Coke from her flask.
“Do you mind not smoking in here” Ryan asked politely.
“Er no I want a cig and I am having one” Morgarna snaped back.
Ryan when to argue but Merlin cut in to stop any trouble, “Let it go mate when we go you will even know we’ve been here!
Ryan looked from Morgarna to Merlin and decided to keep quiet!
All of a sudden the room was full of white flashes and horrendously loud claxons. Then a blue light hit Ryan and his whole body twitched and rose a few foot above the sofa…. Then all of a sudden there was a terrible screaming and wailing as a nasty looking purple form was pulled from Ryan’s body…
It was horrible and the entity screamed and howled and fought. Poor Ryan was in agony and was screaming too.
All of a sudden there was silence and Ryan slump down on the sofa. A metallic voice suddenly filled the room. “Merlin and Morgarna, thank you, we are indebted to you both, this evil being had caused so much trouble we will ensure he never escapes again. Zenex 4 recovery team, over and out”
The lights in the house were now back on and all was looking very cosy, the television was off and the game was put away. Ryan was sleeping the sleep of the innocent. Morgarna waved her hand over Ryan’s head and said ….sweety pie you will remember absolutely none of this.
Later Morgarna and Merlin walked back to the cemetery to sort things out for John and Annette and to pick up Gail.
“Aren’t these doors just gorgeous?” Morgarna asked Merlin as they approached the chapel. “Yes” replied Merlin “someone has put a beautiful wreath on them”
“Yes” replied Morgarna “that looks like Gail’s handywork to me ”
As they approached the doors, they flew open and Annette , John and Annette’s father floated out to greet them. “Oh! Morgarna it’s wonderful my father is back he is his kind and loving self again . We have all somehow seen what has happened to us all and we closer than ever. “
“So what’s your next move” Morgarna asked lighting another cigarette.
Annette stepped forward and said “we are going to stay here with all the new friends we have met here in this beautiful graveyard…. “
“Yes” said all the other ghosts and the first thing we are going to do is celebrate Christmas here .
” Look” cried Gail. “See here through this frosted window, can you see a family table and festive decorations .
So they all said their goodbyes Morgarna, Merlin and Gail left the Ghosts to their Christmas and wonder out the gates past the house where they had left Ryan in time to see all his family arriving with festive food and presents!
“Right Gail” Merlin said ” where do you fancy spending Christmas your choice young lady. “
Gail thought for a second and then said “As long as I am with you two anywhere will be absolutely fine .
The Anomaly came into view and they jumped!
They landed on the shore somewhere, water with the occasional island just out of focus. The horizon is a golden colour.
“Oh! Babes” murmured Morgarna, “This is so beautiful”
