fandomhigh | Hunting 101 - Class 2 (Wed period 7)

When students entered the Danger Shop they found themselves standing outside a large slightly rundown house. John was waiting for them, leaning comfortably against the side of an old impala. Beside him was a table, with the sign in sheet as well as another list of names paired up. It was also piled high with knapsacks.

"Welcome to our first practical class," John greeted them with a smile. "This is where we find out how well you apply what you've learned so far. Behind me is Elrod Manor. It's haunted by the ghost of a woman who was named Cassandra Elrod. She was killed by her husband Mark Elrod, who happened to be a serial killer. The legend goes that she found some rather grisly evidence of his activities and to keep her quiet he killed her and hid her body in the house.

"Since then her ghost has been seen countless times by many different people. They describe a very beautiful but sad woman who has appeared throughout the house but always disappeared at the end of the hallway on the second floor. There's also been an unusual number of accidents resulting in injury or death have occurred here. All of the victims have been married men. Those that have survived the attack describe a woman with features more horrific than beautiful."

He looked around at his students. "You're assignment is to lay her ghost to rest. Each of you will get one of this knapsacks that have everything in them that you should need to accomplish that. You'll work in pairs and each pair will go into the house in turn. As none of you are, to the best of my knowledge, married men, you should be relatively safe unless you antagonise her. My advice?" He smiled slightly. "Don't."

"Please pick up a knapsack and check the list to see who you are paired with and we'll get started."

When the students look inside the knapsacks they will find a flashlight, an EMF meter, an Infrared Thermal Scanner, a container of salt, lighter fluid and matches.

The list of pairings is as follows:

Jo Harvelle, Tannim Drake
M. Parker, Neil Parry
Isabel Evans, Dick Casablancas
Mealka Fray, Buffy Summers
Setsuna Sakurazaki, Liz Sherman
Blair Sandburg, Sokka
Chris Halliwell, Wyatt Halliwell
John Connor, Edward Elric and Luna Lovegood

When everyone had got their equipment and found their assigned partners. John grinned at them wolfishly. "So, who's first?"

Jo started checking all the equipment in her knapsack to make sure it was all in working order.

After Tannim picked up a backpack and checked the list, he walked over to Jo. "Hey," he said. "Looks like we're teaming up."

"Hey," Jo replied. "You ever done anything like this before?"

"Sort of," Tannim said. "I've dealt with ghosts before, just not violent ones."

"You're up on me experience-wise," Jo said. "Although I do know what we're supposed to do with one."

"Burn the corpse?" Tannim asked. He zipped open the backpack and poked around in the contents to see what he had.

"Salt, then burn," Jo replied. "I think the salt's supposed to help purify or something."

"Oh, that's right," Tannim said. He tried holding the EMF reader and the thermal scanner in one hand and the flashlight in the other. "I need an extra hand," he said. "Or I could skip the tech stuff and go au naturale."

Jo raised an eyebrow. "I'm hoping you're going for some other meaning of that phrase."

"People don't hunt ghosts in the nude where you come from?" Tannim deadpanned.

"Only if they're really drunk," Jo replied, and shuddered. "I did not need to find out about differences between the male and female anatomy that way."

Tannim snickered. "I won't scar you further, then. Anyway, I meant I'd use my Sight." He tapped a finger against his temple. "I should be able to track the ghost just with that." Bragging? Maaaaybe. Hey, you didn't have to be half-angel to notice that the girl was hot.

"Whoa," Jo whistled. "You able to do anything else with that?"

"A little," Tannim grinned. "I can see auras, traces of magic - that sort of thing. Part of being a mage." He shrugged nonchalantly. He had absolutely no intention of getting involved in the Halliwell/Jo triangle. Really. But how often did you get to impress a girl with this kind of thing?

"And you've been one of those long?" Jo asked, grinning back.

"A while, yeah," Tannim said. "How about you? What kind of experience do you have?"

"My mom runs a roadhouse for hunters, like Professor Winchester," Jo answered. "They come through, you pick up things from them."

"Like the differences between male and female anatomy?" Tannim grinned.

"Pretty much," Jo replied.

"Ready to hunt ghosts?" Tannim asked, slinging his backpack over his shoulder.

Jo grinned and picked up her own knapsack. "Defintely," she said.
