There (Haunted)

Chapter sixteen

Becca's P.O.V

"Hello? HELLO?" I shout. Hoping the figure will just show itself! "I-I have a gun! And a knife! Stay back or show your self!" I panic and stick my arm out.

The figure comes closer and I closer my eyes. Oh god. Now I'm scared. I've never been this scared, except when Harry was in the spare room. Oh yeah. Harry!

"HARRYY!!" I scream.

I hope he comes but its to late, the figure rushes towards me and covers my mouth and tells me to be quiet. Its to dark to see who it is but I know that voice though...

Andrew's P.O.V

"Sir, you wife went into shock, its the worst kind of shock as well." The small nurse said with a kind smile.

Tears rolls down my eyes. I can't help it. I apologise for crying in front of her but she doesn't seem to mind she tells me that Helen is asleep in her room. So I go into see her. She lays peacefully, her eyes closed now.

"Is there anyone we should call?" The nurse taps me on the shoulder and I nod.

"Yes, where's the phone, I left mine at home." She points to were it is.

I look down at Helen one more time and stroke her face gently with the back of my hand. I walk out of the room and pick up the phone. I dial Harry's number and wait. But there's no reply. I dial it twice more, still nothing. I try Becca's and George's, I even try Jack's and Julie's even Finns, but no one answers. Maybe there asleep. Its getting a little late, they're worried and its been a very long weekend. I'll try in the morning. I leave a message on Harry's phone asking him if it will be alright for him to stay with the kids and tell him what happened and finally that I won't be home till tomorrow morning. Then I hang up and walk back into Helen's room in the large hospital and take her hand in mine.

Harry's P.O.V

She bites my hand and I sharply pull it back. I grab a torch and shine it on her face and look and her. She lets out a huge sign knowing its only me not some pedo! But the Guilt crosses her face knowing she just bite me.

"Harry!" She shrieks.

She runs up and hugs me, I gently pat her on the head then hug her back.

"Oh my gosh! I'm so sorry for biting you!" She covers her mouth and I smile at her and rub my throbbing hand.

"Why did you just stand there when I was calling your name?" Becs says and wipes her eyes.

"I dunno, I thought I heard footsteps above us, so we're obviously underground, but where? And how? I covered you mouth incase someone was there and could hear us, you know, the person that kidnapped us!" She srugs.

"What happens if it was the police or the boys or Julie? We could be stuck under here forever!" She starts to pace up and down and I keep her still with my hands on her shoulders.

"We can get out, I have a torch, whoever kidnapped us had never down it before and they left this down there. Idiots." I say and hold up the shining torch.

We look around for a door or window or something just a big stone block around the length of me and half the height, I can't tell what it is as its to dark to see.

George's P.O.V

Is stand out in the middle of the dark wood at the bottom of the garden tied up to a tree in the middle of Jack and Finn, Julie's behind us facing an old man in a wheel chair.

"I'm guessing you'll don't know who I am then?" He asks in an old poshly voice.

"No." I say.

"My names Ben, Benjamin Thomas, I am 111 years old, pretty good for my age, you'll say!" He chuckles.

"Okay, hi, how do we know you?" Julie asks, she doesn't seem afraid at all.

"I used to live in this house, 100 years ago, with my twin brother, Tom, who died from cancer 20 years ago and my sister, Abi, who died 100 years ago. Pretty sad really."

"Oh, we're very sorry, but why did you have to tie us up?" Jack asks.

Just then a tall recognisable figure comes out through the trees. Its Harry's friend, William.

"Hey Granddad. I don't we're safe yet, stay out here for a little longer." William says.

"Hi William!" Finn says with a smile on his face.

We all look at Finn as he rarely ever talks, his face is quite high as well, its quite funny!

"Hey, guys, sorry 'bout all of.. Um... This!" He laughs nervously and rubs the back of his head. "Granddad, I have a feeling Harry and Becca are awake, I'll see if everything's alright." William says and walks off into the distance.

William's P.O.V

I look back once more, I should of really told them. No. They need to be kept safe from John. I'll tell them when they're all together.

I walk past the trees and walk onto the mud track. I step over the fallen tree where my granddad told me to cut as his dead brother had told him to not realising they where trying to kill Harry. I'm glad Tom died when I was two. He always hated me and wanted to take away the good things in my life. Yeah he was my great uncle or what ever but I still despise him!

I reach to mud hills. I look at them for a little while, why isn't there a stone for Tom? And why dig a grave for my granddad when he's not dead. He's still alive, last time I checked.... I look at the small broken wooden hut and open the half off creaky wooden door. I heard Harry say that someone was coming. Footsteps echoed the underground hall. I slowly walk down the small steps which lead to another door. I get a key out if my pocket. The one I took when I recused Becca. The one she thought was for the little door in the spare room. I open the door and take a step into the room, but i'm greeted to a torched being hit on the back of my head....

"Oh shoot! William are you okay?" My eyes flicker and begin to open.

Harry's in my face tapping my cheek for me to wake up. I slowly sit up with Harry helping me. I rub my head, it hurts like hell! A lump has already grown on the back of my head. Ouch!

"I'm so so soo soo sorry! I really am, we thought you were a pedo and trying to rape us or something!" Harry says and I laugh at his stupid thought.

"Maybe I did!" I laugh and try to stand up, I had to say something to try make people laugh and know I haven't lost my mind.

Becca stands in the corner with her arms crossed, she looks cold. I walk over to her and give her my denim jacket I all ways wear. She gives me a warm smile and I walk over to the wall and flick a switch and lights turn on. By the looks of the others faces they're obviously suprised.

"What the hell? Why are we in here? And why did you knock us out in the first place?" Harry yells.

The last thing I want is a argument with Harry!

"I can explain, everything." I say.

"Go on then." Harry says, crosses his arms and his eyes go narrow.

I sit down on the floor and try to think where to start.

"Basically, you mum saw something I cannot explain and don't really know but all I know is she saw a ghost, who kinda tried to kill her but he was after me and you, I have no idea why he was after you Harry but me I kinda get. Well she fainted and John, the ghost hide in his usual place, where he died about 90 years ago in the utility room until all the adults left and it was only you and the kids. Luckily I was about 3 miles down the road with my granddad, Ben, in the car when we saw the ambulance coming here. So we decided we needed to play hero and save the day... Night, what ever! To be honest I don't remember much but my granddad had to try stop his dead dad from killing you lot even more and I got you to a save ish place. John doesn't leave the house fortunately. We got to a tree with you lot still passed out and the back door began to open. It was to risky for you to be out here so I put you and Becky in here whilst my granddad kept the others quiet. Thats the short story I think." I tell them.

"Are we safe now?" Becca asks me. I nod.
