My best friend the serial killer

Chapter 21 Haunting Hunter

Melany has been dead for a month now. After her death strange things have been happening.

Friday 3:30 am

I woke up to the sound of little Hunter screaming. I walked into his room and picked him up. he still continued to cry.

I tried to rock him but he still wanted to scream. I decided to take him into my room. as soon as we left the room he stopped crying. I decided to try something. I stood outside of his room with him in my arms. I stepped in the room he began to cry. I stepped into the hallway he stopped. I did this several times and decided he was sleeping with Hunter and I.

The next morning I told Hunter what had happened with the baby.

"I don't know what it is." I told him.

"Let me go check this out." he said. He got up from the table and walked up to the baby's room. After a few minuets he came back down. "Baby I didn't see anything wrong, maybe he just had a bad dream."

I remained silent because I didn't know what to say.

"Anyways I promised your dad I would help him put up the pool so I'm going to go help him now." He bent down and kissed the top of my head and left.

There I was alone with the baby in the house. He was still asleep so it was like I was alone. I didn't know what to do so I started to clean. I didn't like the thought of the baby being alone upstairs so I went and got him.

I noticed the air upstairs was a lot thinner and colder. I walked faster and faster until I got to my room. I opened the door and when I looked inside I froze. There stood Melany's ghost. she was leaned over Hunter's bassinet. She was looking at him and smiling. I looked at her. The noose hung around her neck still. I felt tears welling up and a lump forming in my throat. A screech escaped from my lips. Melany looked at me then disappeared. I hurried over to Hunter, who was still sleeping, picked him up grabbed his diaper bag and left. I walked across the yard over to mom and dads. Hunter and daddy were working on the pool and mom was talking on the phone on the front porch. the baby still was sound asleep.

Mom looked at me. "Susan I have to go." mom said and hung up the phone.

"Baby what is it"? She asked me. I was shaking so badly. She took the baby in her arms and led me inside. The baby slept in the play pen as mom and I sat on the couch. "Tell me what's wrong" she began. "it's not Hunter is it"? she Asked. "No mom he's wonderful to me but Melany has been gone for a month but she's not completely gone." I said. mom nodded signaling me to continue. "mom I saw her ghost hovering over Hunter in his bassinet this morning mom when I saw her I grabbed him up and came over here. mom grabbed my hand and said, "Katie, it's not just her, I've saw Jason here too."

I couldn't believe it when I looked up there he was. standing in the corner and Melany was there too. Both of them stood together holding hands with the nooses tied around their necks. I began to cry even more. I didn't know what to do. first I lost them and now I'm being haunted my them. They were whispering in the corner looking in the center of the room where Hunter laid in the play pen. this time he was awake and smiling at the corner where Melany and Jason stood
