There (Haunted)

Chapter thirty-eight

I lay down on my white fluffy rug. My bare feet touching my dark wood flooring. I got up about 10 minutes ago. I should call William tell him where his best friend and his girlfriend are. Luckily he gave me his number yesterday before he left in case if emergency.

I'm trying to get those images in my head. The ones of the loft opening and the ladder and the broken China doll.

And if by magic, like someone knows I want to see it. The images flick through my mind. First the black and white ladder for a second then the loft door in the ceiling. Finally the close up of the broken China doll and her misty blue glass eye.

I breath out heavily, I hadn't realised I was holding it in. I sit up and push myself up with my arms.

Why those images? Okay I get the ladder, it's how you get up. But is the loft my loft? It's white and made of wooden boards, both of them are like that so yeah, it probably is. But the doll doesn't make sense. I don't have a doll that looks like that and I know Julie doesn't either. Maybe someone is trying to tell me something, when I saw Abigail last night I had the same images flick through my head and the images of the basement. Maybe it was Abigail. Maybe it still is Abigail trying to tell me something, to go up into the loft? I will but after I find my cousins!

I stumble to my built in closet. I open the dark wooden door like my flooring and pick out my black leggings, white lace top and denim jacket.

I quickly change and grab my phone. I unlock it and scroll through my contact list. I tap Williams name which is right at the bottom and go to text him.

*hey, I have a question, when you were my age and started seeing ghosts, did you start getting weird images flick through your mind? And I know where Harry and Jenna are.*

And send.

I make my bed and pull open my curtains. I take a quick glance at my clock on the wall, 10:32.

I grab my brush and tie my hair into a high ponytail, the loose curls hanging freely. I put a little BB cream and powder on my face then add some mascara. Finally I take a glance on my mirror and move over to the door.

'don't go out there.' a creepier quiet voice hisses at me.

It's a new voice, like my mind is actually talking to me.

'she'ss coming.' it hisses, it kind of sound like a snake talking.

But I ignore it and pull open my door. The hallway is quiet. The white walls seem darker than usual.

I skip through the hall way and head towards the staircase to see on the wall next to the stairs in a dripping red liquid like the type that was on Jenna's wall.

It reads:

You know what to do to make me angry don't you Rebecca? Abigail's going to get it now...

Oh my god. Rose is going to try hurt Abigail! I try to run downstairs but when I reach half way down something stops me, like a force field. I can't see it, it's invisible but I bounce back to the top of the stairs.

I get up and sprint into my room. I grab my balcony key and open it. I mange to jump down onto the ground, landing with my knees bent and my hand supporting me. It's not that far to jump and I'm not afraid of heights and falling so in okay.

I dash past the front and door and round the back to the back door. I reach for my phone and take it out if my pocket.

*1 new massage*

But I ignore it because I know it's from William. Instead I text him again.

*William you have to get round here now! It's urgent!* I type.

He texts back as soon as I send the message.

*okay, I'll be over in 5 minutes! Stay put.*

I out my phone back in my pocket and open the back door. My mum's in the kitchen making breakfast. She looks twice at me, a confused look flashes her face.

"What? What? How did you get there?" she asks.

"I jumped from my balcony because somethings stopping me from getting down the stairs and oh you might want to see this." I walk fast out if the kitchen and into the hallway to see a talk figure standing on the stairs.

It's Rose and she's taunting me. She waves then disappears when my mum catches up.

"Oh my god! Who did this?" My mum asks as she sees her wall.

"Rose." I say with my arms crossed.

"Rose as in Harry's friend?"

"Yeah. She wasn't who she said she was. She's dead mum. She's another ghost but unlike the others she's bad and trying to kill me."

"But the other ghosts are bad aren't they?"

"No. Abigail, the ghost in the spare is helping me find Harry and Jenna. Well she knows where they are."

I told my mum everything that happened last night after William and Theo left. But I haven't told her about the voices.

Just then there is a knock on the front door. My mum opens it.

William stand there, next to him Theo.

"William! Theo! Hello my dears." My mum says.

"Hi Helen." William says polity.

"Hey auntie Helen." Theo smiles.

"Come in, do you want me to get you anything? Food? Drink? Breakfast?" My mum asks.

"Oh no, I'm okay, I've already ate." Says William.

My mum says she needs to go make breakfast and she's off. I say to the boys to into the lounge.

"Now I know you said I can't help. Buy I want to be there when you find my brother and sister, my mum said she'll make a visit as well." Theo says. "I'm going to go to the bathroom real quick, I'll leave you two to talk."

Theo walks off out if the lounge and I sit down on the sofa.

"I don't know if you read my text but no I didn't get images flick through my mind when I was your age nor do I now and where are they then?" William asks me.

"They're in the basement. Abigail showed me." I tell him everything I dreamt or saw last night.

"Oh. I don't think I was meant to hear that." a voice from the hallway says, Theo.
