"Monsters are real, and ghosts are real too. They live inside us, and sometimes they win." -stephen king ♱♱♱
Caroline, Bonnie and I sit in a circle with lit candles in front of us. We hold each other's hands and awkwardly sit patiently.
"What are we doing?" Bonnie breaks the silence.
"I don't know." I laugh.
"Be quiet and concentrate. Close your eyes. Now take a deep breath. Bonnie. Call to her." Caroline says sternly and closes her eyes. We both sigh and follow Caroline's lead.
"Emily, you there?" Bonnie asks.
"Really? 'Emily, you there?' That's all you got? Come on." Caroline mocks.
"Fine, geez. Emily. I call on you. I know you have a message. I'm here to listen." Bonnie asks, and the candles immediately flare stronger.
"Whoa did that just..." my eyes widen.
"Yeah, it just happened," Caroline says frightened.
"It's just the air conditioning." Bonnie scoffs but we weren't so sure that was the issue.
"Ask her to show you a sign. Ask her. Emily, if you're among us, show us another sign." Caroline exclaims. We wait a moment, but nothing happens.
"See? It's not working." Bonnie says then the windows burst open, scaring her. "I can't; I'm done." Bonnie rips the necklace off and throws it on the ground next to the candles, which blow out, scaring her more. "Get the light. Please, get the light!" Bonnie squeals.
"Hold on. I got it." I say running toward my light switch and turn the lights on.
"You guys, the necklace. It's gone." Bonnie stammers.
We all stand in the aftermath of our séance, shocked. I start to feel goosebumps and cold air rush through me.
"Okay, fun's over, Caroline. You made a point, and I get it. Now give it back." I bark at Caroline.
"What? Well, I didn't take it. " Caroline admits, and we hear a bang out of my bedroom. "What? What happened?" Caroline asks confused.
"I don't know. Nothing. Alaric, are you home?" I call out.
"Wait our new history teacher is your guardian?!" Caroline exclaims.
"Guys..." Bonnie calls out from my bathroom. I walk toward her and the door slams shut as soon as I step up. "You guys open the door! Help me!" Bonnie shrieks and I run up to the closed door.
