**Just like the Chapter's name,I'm wondering if I should continue this novel on Wattpad,don't seem to be getting readers. Is there something I'm doing wrong?**


     On heading into town, they began to ask people where they could find Hampton Fire. Most people just scoffed and talked about  a how crazy he was until finally someone directed them to a house in the North woods. It was a day's journey to and fro and it wouldn't go unnoticed by the rest of the family. Amber came up with a plan; in town, they'd entered a competition and won a fishing trip for two in the far North. They decided it'd work.

     The next morning, they set off to the forest. Davis hadn't been too happy about Amber going fishing with their dad instead of him but Barbara had scolded him to be content and to let them enjoy their trip. The forest was full of tall trees and grasses, with a confusing muddy foot path; it led to different parts, if you didn't know where you were going, you could get lost so they dropped objects to create landmarks on the way so they'd be able​ to find their way back.

     On their journey, they discussed. Amber told her father, "Dad, don’t be offended by what I'm about to tell you, but…I don't like this house, I want to go home, back to Brooklyn." Her father replied, "Brooklyn you say? The harsh lifestyle of the big city isn't for us if we want to enjoy the benefits of living. I believe this town can give us that." Amber stopped walking and hung a wooden bowl on a tree branch. "You really are selfish. You don't even want to know how I feel about your decisions. The first time we moved, it was from Australia, then Mexico, and then Brooklyn, now this so called town, Middle Gest. It's not even on the map. Have you even thought to ask why..." Gabriel interrupted sharply "ENOUGH OF THIS!!! Let's just find Hampton Fire and know how to stop this ghost. If we can defeat it, I promise you, you will return to Brooklyn and stay with Aunt Agnes."

     Four hours later, they both hadn't said a word to each other. They finally got to their stop. A weird looking wooden house in the middle of the forest stared at them. The cottage of Hampton Fire. Amber said to her Dad, "This place is even creepier than our house". She shivered.

**Do you think Amber is behaving like spoilt brat? Or Is her father Gabriel being too hard on her**
