There (Haunted)

Chapter thirty- three

My legs move faster and faster as I run further and further. My lungs burn for air but I can't stop. I can't. We need to get to safety.

Luckily the adrenaline has kicked in so I can easily ignore the pain.

I fast, probably faster than my brother, for his height and age he is very fast, we have a fast family so when it comes down to running away from ghost, no problem!

But as for William, he is not as fit as us, he may look it but he's behind us panting away. Trying to keep up but he manages.

I have no idea who I feel, scared yes, but mainly mixed emotions. To be honest I'm a little relieved that this happen to me and not one of my friends, I can cope. Out of all my friends, including the boys, I have all way been the bravest. When there was a spider in the classroom I would happily put it out side. When the power when out I would tell everyone it's okay. Everyone knows I was the girl with no fear at my school!

But I'm frighten, frighten of what will come, will we find Harry? I hope we do. I don't want to have to explain to my kids in 10 years time when they ask 'what happened to uncle Harry?' I would just be like 'oh he went missing in my old haunted house and we think a ghost killed him.'

But overall this whole experience excited me! The constant running, the adrenaline pumping through my body, all ways exploring and finding out new things. I have to admit, as much as this scares me, it's a dream come true. But more like a bad dream though.

It's now nearly midday and the sun is over our heads. There are no clouds to be seen and the trees are still. The grass is green and the birds tweet. No one would expect we were getting chased by a serial killing ghost.

Luckily the forest is only small but not small enough. I can see the paddock and the stables. But the house is barely at view. It's more like the size of a ant. It's that far away.

But we continue running, I hope that when we get near the house Charles will give up.

I feel like I'm in a race, the race for the trophy. But this time it's the race for life. And I have to live. But I didn't even know if this ghost can kill. I sure hope not!

I sprint the final 100 metres and so do the boys, we get closer and closer to the exit, the exit where Charles first attacked me and Harry.

I run the fastest I've ever ran before. When I look behind I see what I thought was a worried look on the ghosts face.

I'm now at least 20 metres away from the boys and 50 metres away from the Charles, the panting ghost.

I have only just realised all three of us are wearing clothes, not pj's. I know William was wearing what he wore yesterday but he's in more sportier clothes now. And for me I have my shirts and polo shirt on, as well as my running shoes, basically my PE uniform, but that's meant to be in my locker. Same with George, he has his PE equipment on. When Abigail transported us here she knew we where going to run. But how?

There must be some way ghost know where another ghost is, and she must if wanted her triplet brother to sort us out.

I sprint the final 10 metres but it burns. In gasping for air, my legs ace and I'm thirsty. But I can see where the forest ends, it's not long and I can easily make it, I just have to push..

And I do, I make it out of the forest and head for the stables, my legs slowing down every second. I move my head around so I can see the boys make it out, which they do.

But Charles doesn't. He tries to run out but he stops and bounces back. It's a force field. He's trapped. Trapped in the forest! Yes!

I slow down into a jog then a walk, finally I stop. My lungs gasping for air and my palms sweaty and I rest them on my knees and I bend over.

George and William catch up.

I straighten up and see George collapsing on the floor and William throwing up.

"Whoa, are you okay William?" George sits up on the grey bricked yard floor, he leans against the outside of Hamaly's stable, it's not that comfortable, the black wood boards go down and stick out, so it would dig into your spine, but yet, George has weird positions.

"Oh yeah, I just get sick when I run. I have a ah- never mind." William chokes.

"What is everyone's fear?" George asks me and William.

I had the key to the tack room in my pocket which I didn't put there. Either Abigail likes us or she's playing a weird game, she probably saw everything that happened from her window.

"Oh not this again!" I say as I put my hands on my face.

When George was 7, he has a strange obsession with everyone's fears.

I slowly slide against the tack room door sit down on the floor, my back still against the wall. I look up at the window on the black door. Harry, Altaï and Hamaly are all near the fence closest to the stables, grazing.

"Um, mine is defiantly spiders!" William says. "Becs?"

"I don't have one." I say and continue to look at the window at my horses.

"How can you not have one?" William sits down next to me as George sits opposite.

"I just don't." I look at the grey floor.

"Do you know Harry's?" George asks William.

"Um yeah, I think it's clowns." William replies. "You know mine used to be stage fright."

"Wow! Over come that fear then."

Suddenly a bleeping sound appears. It's coming from Williams pocket.

"That doesn't make any sense. My phone is back in the kitchen. How did it get hear?" William looks puzzled.

"William if you hadn't realised, we all have different clothes on." I tell him.

"Oh god, yeah, that's weird." He looks surprised now.

But he picks up his phone and slowly puts it's to his ear.

"It's Harry's brother." He says.

Harry's brother, Theo. I haven't really had the chance to meet him probably. I have a feeling he doesn't like me very much. The one time we met, he glared at me the whole time and didn't say a word. He's 17 and quite outgoing, I thought he would of said at least one thing.

"Hey Thee, what's up?" William speaks into the phone. "What, okay! Calm down! What do you mean Jenna's missing?!"
