Colby told me yesterday you must do the ritual where the person see the ghost I start by lighting the sage candles in Layla rooms we head downstairs into the hallway I light the sage and wait my daughter stood right next to me I check my watch it's been five minutes Layla face changes "Go away" she shouts I grab her quickly holding her closer to me "Stop it I'm not letting you in" she says getting scared "No" she shouts back "Listen to my heartbeat sweetheart not the ghost just me okay" I say she nods her head I drag her over to where the bookshelf are and hide us under one she laying by me her head on my chest as she listens to my heart beat she calmed down a lot "Can you still hear them?" I ask "Yeah dad" she says "okay sweetheart "She then looks at me there coming to find us" she says "Keep calm it's fine" I say coving her mouth with my hand "you need to be quite okay" I say she nods her head. We sat there for 30 minutes "It's gone" Layla says looking at me I smile "That's great" I say

Pov (Layla)
I was standing by dad when I heard the voice talking "Layla come and open the door" The voice said "Go away" I said back dad holding me closer "Layla just open the door for me" He says "Stop it I'm not letting you in" I shout back "Open the door Layla, Open the door Layla" He kept repeating again and again "Go away" I shout back "Shh sweetheart listen to my heart beat" Dad says I do as he says as we head to our hiding location "I've got you" Dad says "Open the door Layla" the ghost keeps repeating again and again. I feel better listening to dad heart beating its relaxing then the ghost say something else "Ready or not here I come" I look at dad "There coming to find us" I whisper as I can hear foot steps all around us like there actually someone in the house walking around. It continues for a long time until it all stops nothing "Dad its stopped" I say looking at my father that's great sweetheart" Dad says smiling as he pulls me closer to him. "Come on you can sleep with me and your mum tonight" Dad says I nod my head as we head into there room the babies are sound asleep and so is mum I get in the middle laying between mum and dad I close my eyes and I'm asleep.

Pov (Sam)
I'm worried about her still I want to make sure it worked so I'm keeping her close to me tonight she not going anywhere, I close my eyes and begin to fall asleep.

Pov (Ella)
"Ella you need to wake up" someone says I open my eyes there a man stood there "Don't freak out I'm from the future I've came to speak to you about something your son a rapist and it tears your family apart" The man says "I don't belive you" I say he looks at me "My names Harry and I'm from the future I can prove to you what your son does in the future if you put the phone down by the dresser on the floor on for Me I'll get the article up for you" The man speaks I get out of bed and put my phone down on the lock screen "Okay then prove it to me but you can't because your not real" I say which cause Harry to not huff at me "He ruins your family and this is your warning" The man speaks. I close my eyes trying to block the man out and it works.

~The next day~

I wake up to hear Abigail crying I run over to her and soothe her she stops crying and I look at the time 6am I turn around to see Harry "You better pick the phone up before they wake up" he says I walk over to the phone and pick it up I nearly drop it to the floor when I see what it reads "Alex the son of popular youtuber found guilty of Rape" The articual Read I wanted to throw my phone to the ground but I couldn't I read through the whole article and felt like being sick what the hell happened. I get up and grab my laptop before going downstairs into the study and locking the door behind me I change the date and time on my laptop to the date the article was written and then searched my son name so many articles came up and my heart pounded surely this was just some horrible dream my son was only a baby and how can someone travel back in time it's not true my son hasn't done anything I fix everything back to normal and then I go about my day as normal but I can't get the article out of my head or the photo of my son all grown up in court out of my head how is this even possible what the actual is happening.
