Paranormal Summer

Chapter 4

The next morning I wake up to Raylee shaking me telling me Aunt Tessa is going to town soon, I jump up I get ready and sprint downstairs and to the dining room where there is a plate of food at my spot and a glass of orange juice, Raylee sits down by me, did you hear the noises last night she asks me, yeah I say I had to put my music in, but I also saw a little girl crying I say, she looks up I had a dream about a little girl reaching out to me asking me to her but when I asked her help her with what she started screaming it was horrible she says shaking her eyes filling up with tears, I hug her feeling bad that she had to go through that. Soon we are in Aunt Tessa's car driving to town, what  are you going to get at the library she asks, oh you know books magazines the regular I say studying my nails not wanting to meet her eyes, I can see her eyeing me but she doesn't push it any further thank god. When we arrive she drops us off and heads to the grocery store planning to meet us outside the library in forty minutes, we go inside and are greeted by a friendly old lady the librarian I'm assuming, what can I help you with today she asks us, uh we're staying at my Aunt Tessa's inn and we are wondering if there is an article or newspaper about something that  happened there like in the nineteen ninety's or something I say, oh I think I know what your talking about she answers us wait just a second she goes through a door behind her desk and comes back with a box full of faded articles and newspapers she hands it to us, if there is anything else I can help you with let me know me and your aunt are good friends she adds, we go to a table in a far back corner and start going through the box, oh my gosh Raylee says, what is I ask she hands a worn down article to me, 9 year old Helen Smith missing no information on where she is the title says I continue to read,
Helen was last seen playing in her yard at 5:30 pm her mother reported to the police when she went to call her in for a bath she couldn't see her she searched everywhere but couldn't find her she called the police. If you have any information on Helen call the police department.
There is a picture of Helen by the story it shows a little girl with brown curly hair and brown eyes smiling, that's the little girl in my dream Raylee says looking at me she hands me another article,
9 year old Helen Smith missing for 2 months after went missing from yard, mother suspected in disappearence answering questions.
There are a few more articles but they don't give us much information, did you find what you're looking for a voice says from behind us we both jump and turn around not even hearing the librarian approach, I'm sorry I didn't mean to scare you she says apologetically, it's okay I answer, she looks at the article we were reading, her eyes fill with sadness, that was such a horrible time she says, can you tell us more about what happened it doesn't say much I ask her, she looks around and notices there is no one else then sits down, she begins by telling us stuff we, already read but then tells us new stuff, Helen and her mother actually lived in your aunts inn but it was just a small house then your aunt added more to it, she had an older sister but she was found dead in a nearby river when she was only 9 so Helen would have been 4, Helen loved dolls her dad got her a new one every month but he left when she was 6, and after she disappeared her mother hung herself in guilt we all think her mother had to do with her disappearence, I babysat for her she adds she was a great child like a younger sister to me. She gets up well that's enough for now she says you can keep a few of those we were going to get rid of those anyway and with that she turns and walks away. After reading a few more we take 3 of the most important ones and put the rest back away in the box, we give the box back to her and thank her for all her help. We go outside and wait for Aunt Tessa to show up.

When we get back we race back to our room, when we open our door we gasp in disbelief our entire room has been trashed our clothes are everywhere, our sheets and mattresses are off our beds and written on the wall hello my name is helen, we shut our door quick we have to clean this before Aunt Tessa sees but at the same time the door opens and Aunt Tessa peeks in girls it's she stops immediately when she sees our room she steps in what is the meaning of this she says, umm oh we were trying to make a fort I say, oh and you just happened to need your clothes and mattresses she says crossing her arms, yeah it makes it look cooler Raylee says trying to help me out, I cross my fingers hoping she doesnt notice the writing on the wall whatever just clean it up and don't do it again she says sternly then leaves, we begin to clean up. After we are done cleaning we go outside on the porch and sit down on the porch swing, what are we supposed to do Raylee asks me what dos she want from us, I really don't know but we'll have to figure it out to put her to peace, ghosts act this way if they aren't happy about something, so we will have to find out she asks, yeah we will I say looking at the woods swaying in the wind.
