Charlie's mouth falls a gap at my words.

"Is everything alright? " I ask taking a step closer.

"Yeah, yeah. Just felt a bit light headed there." After that Charlie acts really odd for the rest of the day, leaving me wondering why the name "Max Williams" would make him act so odd.

After putting away the wheelbarrow, I head inside hoping to find something to eat before heading to bed. Once in the house, I go straight for the kitchen where I search the fridge in hopes of finding something editable. It's not till I start hearing thunder outside that I wonder if Anna will make an appearance tonight.

I head over to the staircase, swiftly making my way up them, before slowly opening the door. Thankfully I had brought a few candles with me, so illuminating the room was fairly easy after I successfully lit all four candles without burning down the house. A creaking noise sounds from the opposite side of the room, startling me. I turn to the sound of the creek, spotting a dark figure standing in the corner of the room.

"What are you doing up here?" The slender figure speaks.

I step back a bit, making sure not to get too close just in case I upset her.

" I was curious." I admit, stepping closer.

"About what?" Her gentle voice speaks, as she takes a step closer. My palms start to sweat as I realize the things she could do to me, but a small voice in the back of my head tells me to trust her.

"You." I simply say. Her body emerges from the dark shadows, creating a eerie, yet captivating scene. Long dark strands of hair fall over her flawless, porcelain skin.

"And why is that?" She ask, almost hesitant. "You intrigue me... I guess." The look on her face holds pure shock, as she gazes at me.

"What is so intriguing about myself?"

"According to everybody in this town you're a ghost. If that isn't intriguing, then I don't know what is. " Her eyebrows crease in thought, as I stand waiting patiently for a reply.

"They're right, Harry." There's a hint of sadness in her voice, as she looks down then over to the large window. It's silent for many minutes after that before I decide to speak up.

"Do you know who Daniel Sexton is?" Anna's eyes snap to mine, before she quickly looks away. "Is something wrong?" I ask, keeping my distance.

"I think you should go, Harry."

"You know him don't you?" Her eyes find mine yet again, the sadness evident. She looks like she is about to cry, before the gloominess in her eyes turns to anger.

"You need to leave. Now." I step closer saying, "It's okay you can tell-"

"I said, now." Her voice turns colder than it was before, so I take that as my cue to leave. I will deal with this later.

I head downstairs and take a quick shower before getting in bed and grabbing one of the books that Jane had recommended me to read at the library. The first one I pick up is titled, "Secrets Within The Sextons." I flip to the first page and begin to read, slowly finding out the picture perfect family, wasn't so perfect after all.

I am so sorry for making you guys wait this long :( I lost all inspiration for this story, but I knew I wanted to write it and I know you guys like it, so I couldn't give up.
