Chapter 7: The question

The night sky gleamed with strikes of lightening, rain battered the house. The shutters slapped against the house. Everyone in the neighborhood was a sleep expected for a family of ghost and a terrified teenager.

Vince and Darla were pacing back and forth muttering to each other. Cadence lied on the floor playing with her dolls . Adam stood in the doorway , watching his family and their invited guest . Rachel sat on the couch wishing she could disappear.

"We need to tell you something , "

Darla stated. She took a seat next to Rachel . "I'm sure your aware that were ghost , and you know how we dead, Do you?" Darla continued.

"Yes," Rachel stated. "You were murder,"

"Yes, we were but you may not know why?" Vince stated.

"Why?" Rachel asked.

"You see my family and I we have a gift ," Vince stated," And two people found out about our gifted talents , and they wanted to use us ."

"So ,is that why were stuck here , because you were killed ?" Rachel asked.

"We are stuck and we need you help. You see my son..."

"Shut-up !" Adam interrupted . "Why are you telling her about this ? Big whoop we were killed and now were stuck in this hell hole ! She not going to help us and telling her about the damn past is not going to help anyway ! " Adam snapped .

"Don't speak to your father like that !" Darla demanded .

"Why what he going to do , hit me. i cant feel it so what the point ? she cant help us ," Adam turning towards Rachel and spats "So why don't you beat it, bitch !"

"What do you need me to do?" Rachel ignored Adam and turned her attention towards Vince.

"What are you death now, We don't need some stupid girl ! " Adam barked.

"It seems you do and if you like or not , I don't care , I going to help your family, besides asshole , I stuck in this hell hole with you since a storm brewing and your door it jabbed!" Rachel snapped .

"Whatever!" Adam disappeared .

"So, Vince you were going to tell me how to cross your family over, " Rachel said with a smile on her face.

" We need you to find a ring and destroy it," Vince said . "The only problem is we search all this years and we can't find it , we are hoping you can find ."

"Ok, I'll try but first I have to text my dad," Rachel said. She walked out she could hear the family saying 'text?'

she wrote :Hi dad won't be back till tomorrow at Lilly for a sleepover , bye don't worry about me, see you later.

"So is where should I start," Rachel asked.

"No idea," they said in unison.

'Why should I start? Dad always said that you should work your way down when look for something,' Rachel thought. "I'll catch the attic," Rachel yawned , "I'll start tomorrow ."
