There (Haunted)

Chapter thirty-one

"He might be inside Becs." William suggested.

I shrug, he might be. Or he might still be passed out. Hopelessly lying out here, he might have no clue where he is!

I'm not giving up so I begin to head to the next possible place he could be. Inside.

I stomp through the fallen branches until William slowly turns around so his back is facing me and George who is struggling to keep up with me.

"You two wait. Stop!" William shouts, his head still turned away from us. "What's that?"

He points to a corner of the forest. I stop mid track and turn using the balls of my feet. I notice the same thing he notices, a dark brown fence in the distance.

What's in there?

Suddenly there's a lot of rustling in the bushes to the right if me. Oh great. It's Harry's story all over again. Nothing appears but everything goes silent. My heart beats faster and faster as I make the choice for my legs to start running. I grip George's and William's so they run closely behind me. They're a bit shocked at first then they realise what's going on. What's like an invisible person runs towards us, I see nothing apart from the footprint it makes it the ground.

I hear a soft growl. At first I thought it was the wind but when I look a figure comes into view, Harry. But it's not. It's young Charles but as he carries on running his hair gets lighter and his face drops. He gets older. To the old man version if him selves. He wears dark brown military boots, navy trousers, a grey top and a dark navy, which I mistake for black, jacket.

He screams at us and we start to run faster. The pain in my stomach burns but I ignore it, I have to. It's only pain Becca. It will go soon. It's all inside your head, then hopefully the ghost is. No because the boys can see it.

This is all real. Harry is gone, and that's real. The ghosts are real. Ghost are real. And I have proof. Bug proof. And they have a great power to make themselves appear in dreams and transport us magically.

This is real Becca. This is real and I have to run. Rub fast. But where? We could go to where ever that brown fence leads to. It's very tall so I can't see over it. To bad.

When we reach the gate I notice we are at the very edge of the garden but not completely, what ever is behind this fence is in our premises.

Charles still chases us so we have to hope he doesn't follow us.

I sprint to the gate. It's about twice the height of me. I flip open the hatch, it's not locked. Thank god. I rush in, making sure George and William are behind, and they are panting. I'm breathless as well. We just got chased by a ghost. A ghost! It's sound stupid and I feel a laugh bubble inside of me and I have to let it out, which I do and the boys join in. Gasping for air my lungs burn. I am pretty sure we just run a acre!

I close my eyes and expect the worst that could happen. I slowly open them to find weeds growing everywhere, out of every direction. Very tall and spiky ones. About the height of my legs, some even taller. But it's light as there no roof. You could see one of the paddocks with horses which remind of my horses, grazing. We at the am very side and end if my garden so there is two ditches, going down about 2 feet. I can see the bottom from here.

I wonder what was here. It might just be a place someone hang out. Or someone might of grown something here. I take a few steps forward but I trip over something. Then I realised I haven't actually seen what was on the floor.

I slowly look down to see a circle than has been made by wood. In the circle a five point star. What does it mean.

"What is it?" I ask.

"It looks like the star of David." George says.

"No, that has 6 points." William tells us and he's right this one only has 5. "Wait, I know what it is!"

He gets out his phone and shows us a picture, like this star but it's made from bricks.

"My friend Abbie sent me this. She moved into her house 6 months ago, a lot like this house but her house isn't haunted, only has 2 acres and it's the man who used to own the house had a past. He grow drugs in one of the bedrooms." William begins."and before you ask, I'm not one of those actors that like to get high of drugs, I hate the stuff. When I went into that room I gagged. Anyway, she found out the man was pagan and that the star was called a pentagram. It's a christian ritual. You can get a good and bad pentagram, both of these are bad."

"How can you tell?"

"Because of the way it's positioned. It's hard to explain but basically where about the sun is or something but with them one you can kinda see a ram. If you look closely you can see 2 horns, 2 ears and a nose." He points to where everything is and he's right, I can see the ram.

"It's kinda a witchy thing to be honest, but it creeps me out!" William finishes.

"Well it's either in here or out there with the ghost." I gesture towards the gate.
