GAC in LA

Chaprer 13

-KAT'S POV-

They told me everything. They told me about Bobby Mackeys and and when Zach got his scratches. I was a little shocked that we had so much in common before we even met. I was scared for Zach, but mostly angry. How could this "man" want to be this brave hero if a single spirit scares him away?

"We're going to go back in there. But we're going to do things my way," I order. Zach looks up at me in confusion.

"But that thing in there hurt both of us," he says.

"Yeah but I got over it," I say walking past him into the lighthouse. Zach is such an idiot. Why did I like him? Being wimpier than me is a huge turn off.

-ZACH'S POV-

She's so brave. How could anyone like her be in love with me? I look over to Aaron who is in just as much shock as me and Nick. We all get up off tune ground and follow Kat in. I falter a little and look up. In the window at the top of the lighthouse I see the face of a man staring down at me.

-KAT'S POV-

As I step into the lighthouse a feeling of oppression engulfs me. This place keeps getting creepier by the second.

"So what do you want us to do?" Aaron asks.

"We're sticking together and we're fighting this together. No more splitting up. That's a terrible idea.

"Oh thank god!" Aaron yells.

"Are you still rolling?" I ask Nick. He nods his head and I turn towards the camera he's holding and look it straight I the lense.

"Now you're going to see how a woman does things," I say. I turn away from the camera and begin to walk up the stairs to the top of the lighthouse. I look behind me and find only Nick following.

"Where are Zach and Aaron?" I ask angrily. Nick shrugs his head and looks behind him.

"Coming to join us?" He yells down the stairs. Aaron's head pops into view.

"Yeah, Zach is just going to be a minute, he kind of wandered off ," Aaron says. I huff and march down that stairs past Nick who doesn't look pleased either. I turn a corner and find Zach sitting in the middle of the living room.

"What are you doing? We're supposed to be investigating not playing," I sigh. Zach turns his head towards me with a confused look on his face.

"Can't you feel it? The cold wind?" Zach asks.

"Yeah we can all feel it, now get up," I order. Zach turns his head back around and ignores me.

"Look you little shit, I've been trying to be nice to you because you looked pretty spooked and I wanted to make you feel better, but I don't care anymore. Get your ass up or so help me god you will have more scars than you can count!" I yell. Zach flings his head around to me with anger in his eyes.

"You think just because you aren't scared that you can take over my show and my investigation?" He counters.

"Oh quit being immature and get up. I don't want your stupid show." I say and wait for him to get up. He reluctantly stands up and follows me up the stairs. However- to annoy me- he would stop every few minutes to listen for absolutely nothing. Nobody else heard anything but he would pretend like he would and would make us stop with him. When we finally got to the top Aaron took out a MEL meter and a recorder.

"Do you want to ask us anything?" Aaron asks. He waits a few minutes then motions for one of us to say something.

"Are you from Bobby Mackeys?"

"What is your name?"

"What year is it?"

"Did I see you in the window?" We all turn to Zach.

"You saw someone in the window?" Nick asks.

"Yeah just before we walked in," Zach answers. Suddenly we hear a faint whisper and a bang.

"Let's listen to the tape," I say. Aaron rewinds the tape and presses play.

"Do you want to ask us anything?"

Nothing.

"Are you from Bobby Mackeys?"

Nothing.

"What year is it?"

Nothing.

"Did I see you in the window?"

"You saw someone in the window?"

"Yeah just before we walked in."

"Kathryn, ya better watch out." And then the bang.

"Jesus Christ! What the hell?" Aaron yells. We all race down the stairs and try to find what made that noise mad find the kitchen table turned completely upside down.
