Reborn ghost seeing lady is pampered by her ex husband

Maureen's mind short circuited, this was not the response she had embraced herself for. She was expected to be condemned for going against her brother's order.

She was not alone in the shock, everyone had been expecting old lady Mayfair to take a ladle to Maureen's ass, after all anything connected to the academy was a very big deal at the Mayfair house.

"Mother what did you just say? You mean that Edward really opened up to you? After all these years?" Her lips parted in slight disbelief.

Maureen was not sure if her ears were deceiving her, but it sounded as if Edward had shared some things with their mother. While it was not easy prying Edward's mouth open, it was a different story for her mother who was as chatty as a chicken at sunrise.

"That can wait." The smile on grandma Mayfair's face fell as her face sobered, shifting her attention back to Rekha. "Let us first focus on what is in Rekha's memory. Child you can continue from where you stopped. Tell us what you saw, and we can figure out why we need to be afraid or how we can protect ourselves" She asked, her voice was like velvet, smooth and unhurried.

Rekha run her fingers through her hair and sat down, her eyes focused like a laser slicing through steel as she called to mind the image of the demon. "In human form, it was very good looking, sandy blonde hair, blue eyes that were cold as ice and a nose that was a little crooked to the right. Either his plastic surgeon did a poor job, or he got into a fight.

In demon form it was red but not like fire, kind of like maroon red. It had those spirals, here and here and three short horns." She touched her face to show where the spirals were and the horns. "But it walked on two legs---oh and a tail, I think it had a tail. Its demon form looked nothing like the human one." She described the best way that she could.

Feeling that the description was not enough, Rekha requested Phoebe for a pencil and notebook, she could draw better than she could describe. "There was something eye catching about those horns, they had glowing lines that were carved into them. These lines were colored yellowish and were throbbing like a heartbeat especially when it quizzed my father to tell it where the mystic key was." She narrated while adding details to those horns.

"By this time of course the accident had already happened, and the car had somersaulted violently. I could tell that my mother was already dead. It held my dad by the neck, he was struggling to breathe, and I could not do anything because I was in a protective bubble. At the time I had no idea what it was, I just kept banging on it with my fists shouting for that thing to let go of my dad." Rekha went silent briefly, swallowing the lump in her throat.

"He died a very painful death, that demon tortured him by stabbing him with its long nails because he refused to tell where the key was. However, he gave up when the demon threatened to go murder the entire Montgomery clan." She brushed a tear away before it could fall. "He decided to save them by telling it where the key was, all I heard him say was a crypt on the Montgomery estate." A furious scrub of her sleeve betrayed her frustration. "The last thing he did was save the Montgomery's and the first thing they did after his death was to disown me."

Sucking in a sharp breath, Maureen pointed at the picture if the demon that she had only read about. "That is a Azur, the demon commander in charge of Ravana's army. He is known for being brutal, his loyalty to Ravana made him her best enforcer. If she needed something done efficiently, he was the demon for the job. " She tugged on her front hair; the feeling of dread grew within her. "Azur is not supposed to be roaming around in the world because we were told that it was locked up in one of the prisons of the academy after the last supernatural war."

She raised her foot and kicked the air; it looked like there was a traitor after all. Her kick sliced through the air, fueling her irritation. "This happened over twenty years ago guys who knows how much progress he has made over the years without the guardians knowledge. This is the kind of thing that the academy is supposed to know ahead of time and stop." She keeled over and took a deep breath, panting slightly as if she was experiencing labor pains.

Maureen was not done freaking out because the next thought struck her out of the blue like a lightning bolt. "How many keys has he collected so far! Oh my God!! We are doomed; we only have two." The last words came out faster than her thoughts, she shut her eyes tightly.

Rekha pulled her brows together. "We do, since when and where are those keys?" She asked, confusion swirling in her head just like grandma Mayfair.

The old woman was not dumb, she had already figured out that the key was the relic which her husband gave Bernard Montgomery to keep. He had been killed for that key and there were more of those keys out there. What they did, she had no idea.

Maureen was determined to avoid answering that question, so she put her head in her hands and groaned. Everyone figured that she was still freaking out over Azur walking the earth.

"We should talk to Rufus perhaps he has more of them, we need to know if he does. As long as we have more keys, we have the bigger advantage and all we have to do is hunt down Azur and send him to hell rather than dropping him off in the seven prisons." Phoebe suggested.

Grandpa Rufus had long wanted to speak to her, and this seemed like it was the perfect time to meet.

They all agreed to the thought, Maureen sat near her mother. "What did you and Edward talk about mother." She asked, desperation lacing her voice.
