Darling // l.s (ON HOLD)

Back again! I don't know if this chapter is good enough, so feel free to tell me if anything is weird or confusing. Thanks, Enjoy!

I blinked my eyes repeatably as my vision slowly came in, what the hell, what happened? After the haze left my eyes, I took a more clear look of my surroundings and realized I was now in the back of the car with a frantic Liam and Niall up front.

"G-guys?" I stuttered out. They both jumped in fright at the sudden sound of my voice. "About time, you're returning that dumb board of yours back to whatever freak or whatever hell hole you got it from," Niall said, "Because of you, we had to actually experience all that shit," Niall nearly growled, looking ghostly pale.

You were willing to come with. I mentally replied. The events of what occurred previously came flooding back into my mind. There is no way that the planchette on the board moved by itself- there has to be an explanation. It all seemed so unreal, that I'm sure I imagined it but due to the way the two up front looked, I kept my thoughts and theories to myself.

Remembering Niall's request, I shakily pulled out my phone to search up the man who gave me the board over Craigslist, but strangely enough, his whole account was gone. This is not happening right now. I thought as an uneasy feeling grew in the pit of my stomach.

"Ugh, lads, the guy I got it from- his account is gone from Craigslist."

"What do you mean it's gone? Try again," Liam said worriedly. I sighed, knowing it'll still be gone, but for Liam's sake, I checked again only to end up with the same result. "Nope, I think he may have deleted it."

"Shit, of course he would," Niall whispered out, "Well, what do we do now?" He asked as we drove past the last bit of trees surrounding us.

"Well, here online it says we can burn it, so when we get home, we can go out back and light up the pit," Liam said in relief at the thought of the board finally being gone.

"The Internet is partly what got us into this paranormal mess before, are you assuming it's gonna get us out too?" I questioned, the idea of burning something like this just gave me the feeling that it would be a wrong move to make. "I think we should go to a church or something." I mumbled out, feeling slightly stupid for my suggestion, I am -as they call it- a skeptic after all. But after that experience, I don't know what I am anymore.

"Actually, it was your own skeptical and stubborn mind that got us into this mess," Liam paused before continuing, "And I don't think we need a church, it was bound to happen, what else did we- Niall and I expect?" Liam had said, cutting himself off, "I think we'll be okay as long as we get rid of it." Liam finished calmly, as if he didn't nearly have a heart attack at the asylum.

I stared at Liam taking in what he said and how he was acting, He's probably trying to make himself feel better. I reasoned, but it is true, the board did what the board apparently does best, communicate.

I started calming down until a specific event vividly popped up in my mind, that voice. "Liam, Niall?" I questioned. They both hummed in reply, Liam turning in his seat to look at me, "When we were leaving that place, did you guys hear the voice too?" I asked.

Liam stared at me as if I had a second head, "Look Louis, I get that Niall and I were scared too, but isn't it a bit too soon to start making jokes?" Liam said.

A joke? So they believe in spirits but they don't believe me when I mention something about it? "What? No, that wasn't a joke I'm serious the-" before I could finish Niall cut me off, "Listen Louis, we get it, you want to scare us, even more than before, but we all have had enough of that today so let's just not do that, okay?" Niall said as he continued driving.
