The Mystery of the Dead Band

Chapter 1

A/N- All speech that should be in Swedish will be in italics in English. If speech is in italics it means it's really spoken in Swedish, but I wrote it in English so everyone would know what they were saying.

"What's going on?" I asked as the band rushed through the door.

"There are two men walking our way. One had a bag over his shoulder…it looks like a body is inside." Jonas said.

"What?"

"Yeah, we didn’t want to scare them off though, they might be our only chance to get information on what has happened in the past two years. So, we ran inside hoping that they would enter then we would trap them." Petter said.

"Good thinking. Hide! They're coming." I hissed.

            We all took to a hiding spot, or just turned invisible. The door opened and the two men came in cursing. They dropped the body, and it made a sound. They started talking in Swedish. Makes sense since we are in Sweden.

"What are we going to do now?" one man asked.

"We will kill her." The other man spat back.

            They took the bag off the girl. She sat there with tears in her eyes. She had blonde hair flowing down her arms and bright blue eyes. She was about 5'3" and very pretty. Her clothes were ripped and she looked scared. The older man was tall and built and had dirt on his face, while the younger man looked leaner and not as tall.

"Please! Please let me go!" The girl whimpered.

"Shut up!" the older man said. 

She didn’t understand; I saw it on her face.  Her accent was American. She didn’t look American though. The man grabbed her. She shrieked.

"Wait, don't kill her. We could get money out of her! We could use her as a prostitute, or even send a threatening message to the family. Don't kill her…yet." The younger man said.

"Fine." The man put her down starting to relax a bit.

"This place isn’t haunted, why are all the locals crazy? I mean if it were haunted we would be the first of their victims since we killed them." The younger man said.

            I stepped out. For an instant they were caught off guard but the older one charged me. I didn’t move knowing I could let him go right through me if I wanted. I could also be solid too, and we looked solid and never see through like the ghosts that are portrayed in kid fims.

 He threw a punch and it went right through me. The man cursed and looked back at the younger man. I threw a punch and it hit him right in the face knocking him down. Joakim kicked the younger man and he fell to the ground too.

"Don't kill us!" the younger man blurted out.

"Why not? You killed us! Why?!” I asked.

"It wasn’t our choice we were assigned to kill you guys! It was our boss!" the younger man cracked.

"Who is he?" Jonas demanded.

"No one you need to know." The older man said smirking. I kicked him and he buckled over again.

"Mr. Schietz." The younger man replied softly not wanting any more harm come to his partner.

"Who is Mr. Schietz?" I asked.

"Don't! We should die rather than betray him!" the older man coughed.
