He slowly wakes up at the sound of the chirping birds. The sky still seemed to be dark covered by the rain clouds. But he had enough light to check the fortune telling room.

He went inside and saw the usual stuff you find in a fortune tellers room, skulls, glass orbs, potion bottles, gargoyles, and some old books. He felt like he should go through some of the books to get a better understanding of these ghosts and stuff. He took one thick red book and opened it. He saw a lot of pictures of some circles and stuff. As he went through the pages all he saw was weird writings in some different languages. He didn't understand any of them.

He kept that book down and then saw another green book, which had the heading 'talk to the dead'. He was curious to know what was in the book. He opened it and started to read from page one. At first he was bored but then he thought to himself that if by some chance Lucy is a real ghost, then he might be able to use this book to talk to Lucy and maybe find out why she is doing all these crimes. He sat there and studied the whole book. He found out that there where many ways to talk o a ghost, but the easiest way for him was the ouija board. He found an old dusty ouija board from the bottom of the cupboard. He took a coin that was lying there. He shut all the other lights, and lighted 4 candles around the ouija board and sat down. He did as instructed in the book. He started calling some ghosts, and he was checking whether the coin was moving. He tried for about 15mins but no use, he got mad and broke the ouija board with his hand. He couldn't believe that he would even try something so stupid. He barged out of the room. And then...

"What do you want?" A strange whispery voice came from inside the room behind him. He was startled as he did not expect anyone to be inside the amusement park except him. He went back inside to find out who it was.

"Hello? Anybody here?" He questioned in the darkness.

"Yes..." The same eerie voice came again.

"Uh... Where? I can't see you" Justin replied.

"Grrr... I don't have time for this..." The room got filled with a white smoke and a monstrous face appeared from it, lots of teeth, and eyes red, it was so horrid and scary that Justin fell down frightened.

"Wha...what are you?" Justin asked shivering.

"You called me for a reason, now don't tell me you woke me up from my displeasing slumber, for nothing" the thing replied.

"Your a ghost?" Justin asked.

"No I'm a wanderer, I am not allowed to enter heaven or hell, so I roam the earth. Now speak, why did you call me?" he asked him again.

"Actually...! I was testing if that ghost call stuff would work" he replied, standing still, filled with fear.

"How dare you? A test? You shall face the consequences" the ghost shouted as he was about to rush for an attack.

"No... Wait... There is one help I'd like to ask you" he replied.

"What is it?" The ghost questioned.

"Did anyone die here before? In this amusement park?" He asked him.

"I am unaware, I have been here only for 3 days" the ghost replied.

"Oh... And do you know anything about a ghost named Lucy?" He asked slowly as his fear left.

"No... " saying that, the ghost left as if in a hurry.

"Hew..." Justin exclaimed, as he was glad that the ghost had left him.

He wanted to go out of the amusement park, but he knew he had to stay there for some time more until the cops cooled down on him. But still he needed resources to survive there, like food an water. He started searching In the light of day. He say lot of vending machines but he couldn't trust any of them to have anything edible. He then decided to jump out of the park and find something he could use and then return back. He almost fixed his mind and so he jumped out during nightfall. He searched the nearby area and after a long time he found himself in a small farm and there was a chicken running around, he caught it and then he gathered some wood an fig. He ran back to the amusement park. He got back in and started preparing a camp fire. He was happy to find the food. He had also got some water from there. So his dinner was very pleasing for someone who is stranded. Just after he finished, he heard a scream .He was startled. He was jumped up and he ran to the epicentre of the sound. It was just outside the park. He reached the place and he saw a little boy, on his knees almost paralysed after seeing something. He checked and he saw nothing.

"Hey, what's wrong? What happened?" He asked as he held the boys arms and tried to shake him out of the trans. There was no response. The boy would just stare at nothing with his eyes almost fully out of his eye socket. He took the boy and ran out in search of a clinic or hospital.

That time he didn't even think about the cops or anything, he just wanted help for the boy. It was almost the middle of the night and he couldn't find any lights turned on except the street. In Between he would check the boy of any response, all he got was very soft, almost faint, breathes. He kept running as fast as he could, just searching, as the clocks on everyone's house rang 12.
