The Yes Yes Board

2nd Strike.

I woke up gasping for breath, sweat pouring down my face.  I just had a creepy dream about someone in my remaining friendship group dying, but I didn't know who.  My phone was vibrating on the table beside me, I picked it up and unlocked it and read the message.  It was from Eve.

We. Have. To. Play. Again. Now.

I stared at my phone, why do we have to play again? I thought as I go dressed into my clothes.  I pondered over what I would say when I spoke to the spirit.  I walked downstairs and quickly made some toast, I smiled at my brother who was stirring some porridge in a bowl.  

'Where are you going at half seven in the morning Raven?' Jake asked.  I started to panic.

'Um, er, w-w-we're NO! I am going to Emily's house, we're going to London for some all day shopping!' I smiled, i hoped that he would believe me.  He nodded and walked out of the kitchen.  I breathed out.

'Eve, why are we playing again?' I asked, sitting on the chair beside David and Maisy.  Eve shook her head, a tear rolled down her face.

'She wants to speak to Emily, and I will do the communicating Raven!'  Maisy whispered.  She put the board and planchette on Emily's kitchen table.

'Is there anyone,  demon or angel, who would like to communicate with us now?'  She asked.  The planchette moved to HELLO.

'What is your name entity?' the planchette moved to E to M to I to L to Y,  I smiled.  But gave Maisy a look of 'See if it really is her'.  Maisy nodded.

'Emily, we are very pleased to see you, tell us, how did you die?'  I watched as she shivered.  The planchette spelt out RAZOR BLADE.  We all looked at each other.

'And, how old are you?'   The planchette moved to 1 then 7.  We all screamed.  Emily was 17, she was 16.  And her birthday was next month.  Which could only mean...

'Emily, are you Chloe?'  Maisy asked.  The planchette went to YES.  We heard a scream upstairs.  I jumped up and ran up the stairs.  I skidded into the bedroom and saw Emily, yes my friend Emily,  but she wasn't happy.  She watched as crept towards her.  I looked at her wrists and blood was dripping on the floor, there was a tiny razor blade in her hand.  I gasped as her she screamed as she ran towards me and she shot through me.  I shivered and screamed.  I spun around and she was lying on the bedroom floor, dead.  I shrieked.  I heard voices and soon Eve and Maisy stood beside me.  They stared at me as i pointed to the floor.

'What Raven?' Eve and Maisy looked where I was pointing. 

'Emily, was committing suicide.'  I shivered.

'There's nothing there girl!' Maisy whispered.  Suddenly I realised. 

'Where's David?'  I asked.  We looked at each other and ran downstairs.  We ran into the kitchen and saw David hanging from the ceiling.  I screamed whilst Maisy and Eve pinched themselves, knowing it was a dream.  But it wasn't.  I shivered as I walked towards David and touched his pale hand.  It was cold as ice, as if he had been dead for ages.

'You did close the session, right?'  I asked.  Eve nodded.  We stared at David's limp, cold body as it swung slightly. I sighed as Eve and Maisy wiped tears from their eyes.

So that was the second strike.
