I not-so-confidently stride towards the   Door, and peek inside the crack. I grab the handle in a firm grasp, being cautious of every step.
The door opens with a creak. I look back, and give a tiny prayer.
I shut the door tightly behind me, and stand in front of the mirror.
I turn off the lights, turn on the water, and light three candles.
I take a deep breath.

"Woman in white is in the house,

Woman in white is in the room,

Woman in white is in the mirror,

Woman in white, come out of your tomb."
I chant, and blow out the candles.
I turn to the door and swing it open. A sudden compression on my chest is released, one I hadn't sensed before.

"Marshall! Are you ok?" Noah asks, getting up from her seat.
"Yeah! I'm fine! Why wouldn't I be?"
I reply, half joking.
"Oh I just assumed something was wrong because...

you're crying"
She tells me.
 
Pure shock.
