"Oh for frick sake!" Harry yells as he paid William the remainder of his fake money.

"Sore losser!" Rose rubs all her money in his face.

Harry crosses his arm, glares at Rose and pouts his bottom lip.

Suddenly there is a knock on the door.

"Well since I've lost, i'll get it!" Harry says and begins to get up from his chair.

"No!" I glare at Harry and he slowly sits back down. "I'll get it!" I give him a 'in your face' look and smile.

I get up, walk through the den into the lounge and then through the hall and open the front door.

No ones there.

"Hello?" I shout. "Great, I hate people that play knockdown ginger." I begin to close the door then I realise we have a gate, no one can get in.

What the heck?

"Harry!" I shout for my cousin.

"What?" He dashes in within seconds.

"Look, through the lounge and den windows, i'll check the kitchen and dinning room windows." I tell him.

"Why?" He tilts his head.

"Because I think someone is about to break in."

"What! Don't we need to call the police?"

"No not yet. Now go!" I snap.

He rushes off in the opposite direction. I look through the kitchen window. No one there. The plan was that I know its dark out but if someone there I could see the shadow as they go past. I dash into the dinning room. Again, no shadow.

I walk back into the hallway and sit on the stairs. My head on my knees.

"No ones there." I look up hoping to fine Harry but only a gasp leaves my mouth.

There standing was a tall young man. His hair a little messy. His skin pale. He wore a white shirt with a green tie. Over his shirt a green wool jumper. He had a browny pair of loose baggy trousers and wore a pair of black scruffy converse. He didn't look like the typical robber.

"W-what the hell?" There I go saying those words I wouldn't say again. "H-how how d-did you get in here?" I stutter. "And w-who a-are y-y-you?"

He walks closer and I scream. I rub my eyes hoping my mind was playing tricks. And when I open my eyes he's gone. What?

Harry, William, Rose and Amy along with my two golden retrievers, Willowbe and Darcy come rushing in.

Harry knees in front of me as I stare at the space the boys was just standing. Was my mind really playing tricks? Or was he there? What are you saying Becca? Get a hold of yourself, you sound really stupid! Yeah, and i'm talking to myself. Another sign that i'm going mad.

"Becs, are you okay? What did you see?" Harry asks me.

"I-I don't know who he was." I whisper.

"She beginning to sound like you William, you can be 'seeing things' buddies!" Harry jokes.

William laughs and rolls his eyes. I can see that as he's standing at the same spot as that boy. For a faint second I thought I saw him reappear. But thats impossible! Unless.. Unless, he was a... No he can't off been. That to is impossible. He was to young to be Tom and Ben. But he might of been someone else the Thomas' were trying to hide. Another... Ghost.

Harry brings me out of my thoughts as his palm hits my cheek. Ouch.

But it helps, I snap out of my trance.
