The Yes Yes Board

3rd Strike

I sat down on the floor in my room and sighed.  I looked at the picture of me and my friends.  I sniffed.  why did we play on the board? I thought angrily.  Then I remembered it was Emily's idea.  I reached out and grabbed the photo. I threw it across my room and the glass it was in smashed.  I gasped at my stupidity.  I crawled towards the picture and picked it up.  I wiped glass off the picture and looked at it.  I suddenly noticed that Emily, Chloe and David were missing from the photo.  It looked like they had never been there. My phone suddenly rang.

'Hey Raven,' Said a voice 

'Hey Maisy, how are you?'

'Well, I'm fine, but the creepiest thing just happened.  I was looked at that photo of us when we went to France on that school trip and Emily, David and Chloe were missing from it.  I swear they were there before!' She said, her voice crackling slightly.

'Same, I got really angry and threw the photo and when I picked it up, they were gone...' My voice trailed off.

'Listen, I know you will get annoyed but we have to play again---'

'WHY ARE WE PLAYING AGAIN AFTER WHAT HAS HAPPENED?' I yelled down the phone.

'Hey, hey, calm down. Eve spoke to this woman, who is a bit like a ghost buster, and she said we have to play again in order to get rid of Chloe, any get yourself round here now!'  Maisy hung up.  I sighed and stomped downstairs.  Jake had already left.  I walked out of the house.  As i walked down the road, I mused over what would happen if we played again.  Another dramatic death? Or loads of spooky paranormal stuff.  I arrived at Emily's house.  I knocked on the door. 

'Hey Raven.' Said a voice, it was Eve.  She had extremely bloodshot eyes.  I reached out and patted her shoulder.

'What's wrong?' I asked, as I stepped into the house.  She pointed at the floor.  Emily's dog, Whiskers was lying dead.  I gasped.

'How?' I whispered.  Eve shook her head. I bent down and crouched on the floor.  There was no blood. Whiskers was about 2 years old. Surely she couldn't of died of old age.  I suddenly guessed.

'Chloe.' I whispered.  Maisy stumbled down the stairs. She nodded at me.

'Ready to play again?' She asked.

'Yes, but we bury Whiskers first.' I picked Whiskers up and carried her into the garden. There was already a hole in the ground. I wrapped the poor body in my black scarf. I gently lowered it into the ground.

'Whiskers, you were a sweet little dog. You always knew how to make us laugh, you will be greatly missed by me, Eve and Maisy and also your deceased owner Emily.' I said, sprinkling earth on her. Eve and Maisy did the same, then I grabbed the spade and put the rest of the earth on. Eve and Maisy walked into the house. I followed and looked up and a window.  I started to scream. There was a ghostly figure pointing at Maisy.  Eve and Maisy turned round.

'There was a figure in the window!' I yelled.  The both looked up and the window.

'There's nothing there Raven.' We walked indoors. We walked upstairs and sat in a circle in Emily's room, which smelt faintly of blood. We put out fingers on the planchette and started to spin it in circles.

'Is there anyone here, who wishes to communicate to us?' Maisy asked. Nothing happened. Maisy asked again, the planchette slowly moved to HELLO.

'Hello entity. What is your name?' Maisy questioned. Suddenly a door slammed downstairs.

'Hello?' I yelled. There was no reply. Suddenly the planchette spelt out CHLOE. I heard a sigh. Eve yawned.

'Do you know why Whiskers died?' Maisy asked. The planchette spelt out POISON. I swallowed.

'Did you kill her?' Maisy whispered. The planchette moved to YES. Then GOODBYE. We said goodbye and took our fingers of the planchette. I picked up the planchette and looked through the glass.  I saw a shadow, then saw a figure, it had it's mouth open as if it was screaming. I dropped the planchette.

'There was something there.' I whispered. We looked where I had pointed. Suddenly Maisy was being dragged backwards. Her head was being smashed against the floor. I jumped up and grabbed her.

'STOP IT CHLOE, STOP IT NOW!' I screamed. Maisy dropped in the floor. Sobbing. I hugged her,

'It's ok!' I whispered, stroking her forehead. She clutched me. Eve came over and hugged us. We sat in a bundle on the floor.

I dread to think what would happen next.
