They all opened their eyes and noticed pitch darkness. "You brought your flashlight?" Dad whispered to JD. He brought out his flashlight and turned it on. Dad grabbed it and we followed him to search for Ricky.

As we walked I tried to look down on my feet, I saw nothing but darkness and it made me feel like I was walking in mid air. I didn't like this feeling, I wanted Ricky to just appear right in front of us and we can go home with no more problems. All of a sudden Dad stopped and we all bumped into each other. "Guys look." Dad whispered. We all slowly walked from behind him and saw a person in a raggedy white gown curled into a ball and sniffling.

"Ricky?" I called softly. The person stopped sniffling and slowly looked up and he noticed me right away.

"D?" Ricky's face lit up and hugged me tightly.

"Bubby!" JD ran and joined the hug. Mom and Dad joined in as well.

"Oh, my baby. I'm so glad that you're okay." Mom cried.

"And why do you feel so bony?" JD asked. I now noticed his skinny appearance.

"I've been in here for a really long time and I couldn't eat nothing and I just wanna go home to some food." Ricky said looking down and the darkness.

"Well, don't worry sweetie, as soon as we get you out of here were gonna find your body and take you to the hospital so you can be healthy again." Dad said. Ricky smiled and hugged us again.

Soon, we heard footsteps and a creepy voice saying, "Oh, looks like you finally found us."

"Show yourself." Dad commanded. The ghost came out of the shadows and looked at Ricky.

"You poor thing, you dont look so good." The ghost whispered at Ricky who was staring at him angrily. "I know what'll make you feel better." All of a sudden the ghost went inside Ricky and he laid on the ground staring blankly.

We all walked up to him. "Sweetie, are you okay?" Mom asked. Then Ricky's eyes turned red and he began to growl. We all jumped and ran for our lives through the darkness. I have no idea where we are running to but I had a feeling that we are not gonna be safe in this environment.

I bumped into something and I fell backwards. Everyone went up to me to help me up. "What was that?" I asked. We all put our hands out and felt some type of wall.

"Do you think this is one of the walls in the living room?" JD asked.

"Maybe." Dad said.

But when we turned around, the possessed Ricky was standing right in front of us.
