Twin Paranormal

Chapter 12

"Okay, ghost gang. We're going to do the split up. River is going to be in the doctor's room, Wyatt has the living room here, Riley's got the kitchen area and I'm going to Sallie's room." Ryan said from the bottom of the stairs. "We're going to do this for 15-20 minutes. If we need to stop, we can." 

"We've got cameras set up to record the room." Wyatt pointed to the camera in the corner of the living room where he would be. "Between Riley and I, we've set up the pyramid. Ryan and River will have the music box in the hallway and will set the ball up at the top of the stairs." 

"Alright.....let's do this." Ryan said as he nodded at Wyatt and Riley and headed upstairs. 

***

"If anyone can hear me, my name is Wyatt. I'm going to sit right here on the couch. Can you come and talk to me or any of my friends?" He sat back. "I've got a device here that will let you to talk to me. And Riley in the kitchen there.....we've got a device on the floor that will light up if you come close to it. It will light up red on my side and green on Riley's side...."

***

River sat on the bed and leaned against the wall behind the pillow. Crossing his legs, he panned the camera around the dark room. 

"Alright....I'm here in the doctor's room where he supposedly did surgeries." He turned the camera back to himself. "I'm just chilling by myself....with the door closed.....hoping not to get scratched." He pinched the bridge of his nose. "Please....don't scratch me." 

***

"Sallie....are you here? Can you come play with me?" Ryan asked as he sat on the floor and rolled a ball back and forth in front of him. "I've got the device that lets you talk to me right here. You can use your words if you want. There's also a device in the hallway that plays music and a ball at the top of the stairs. You can push that down to Wyatt if you want."

***

Riley moved the kitchen chair against the wall and looked at the camera to check the angle. Nodding, she sat down. "Sallie.....it's me, Riley again. Do you want to come talk to me again? I'm upstairs now in the kitchen."

***

"....doctor...." 

River's eyes widened and showed the camera his phone. "Are you the doctor? Or is the doctor here?" He asked. "Is this where you did most of your surgeries? In this bed?" 

A tap behind his head on the window had him jumping. He sat up quickly and turned to look at this window. 

"That wasn't me." He tried to mimic the noise and shook his head as he was unable to make it happen again. "That was tapping but it doesn't sound like anything I just did. What was that?" 

***

".....do you remember the bat, Sallie?" Ryan grinned as he thought about his first experience in the house. "Someone said...in this device right here...." He held up his phone. "....that it was cool. I think it was you."

***

Riley heard the rattling and froze. Turning her head towards the camera in the corner, her eyes widened. The sound came again and she swallowed.

"Sallie? Is that you?" She whispered.

A cold breeze brushed over her skin and she shivered.

"Riley?"

"Yeah?"

The basement door creaked open and she heard someone call her name.

***  

Wyatt frowned as he heard a strange sound, his camera going to the right where the kitchen was. 

"Yeah?" 

He heard Riley's soft voice and he leaned forward on the couch. "Riley, did you say something?"

He heard the clicking sound again and he stood. "Riley?" 

***

"What are you doing down there?" She asked, her head tilted as she opened the door wider. "How'd you get by me?" 

"....come find me......"

***

Wyatt took a couple of steps and stopped as he saw Riley standing in front of the open door to the basement. 

"What's going on? Did you hear something?" He whispered. When she didn't answer, he took a few more steps. "Riley?" 

The ball at the top of the stairs came flying down and he turned to see it hit the wall hard. 

"My God! I hope that camera got it." He said as he looked at the mounted camera on the wall and then hurried back to the couch where he had sat his down. A door slamming behind him had him turning quickly again. 

A second later, a blood curdling scream filled the air.
