Trip to the dreaded Ghost Zone {Slow Updates}

Chapter 12

This chapter is strictly about Sam and how she is doing in the ship.

I was led down by the pirate known as Argus to the cells on the bottom of the ship. Can I just say there are so many cobwebs I'm shocked I'm still breathing. There was cobwebs on the supports and on the floor too. I had to watch my steps as he lead me towards the oldest cell that I have ever seen.

The cell contained at least 2 skeletons and one ghost skeleton. (A ghost skeleton is just like a human skeleton except it can give you special abilities depending on the skeleton. For example, if the ghost who 'died' had flexibility, then that mean the person who collected their power gets to keep it for themselves or they can bestow it upon somebody else. This is all strictly my imagination. But it would be cool if this actually happened).

The floor of the cell was mossy due to under usage. The rotten, wooden walls of the cell were also decaying but there was something different about this cell. It didn't have that rotten egg smell like the rest of the ghost ship. Instead, it smelled like roses and cinnamon.

What the hell is going on. I thought.

Before I could answer that question, I noticed something even weirder.

The door of the cell itself looked like it came out of a museum. The flat plank of wood was rotten to the core, literally. Just one touch and it would've withered away. Yet shockingly it didn't crumble under my touch. But that wasn't the weirdest thing.

In the middle of the honey-colored now musty orange cell door was a glass picture of me. It looked like I was in my ghost form and I was creating something. I was floating over a valley of beautiful ghost flowers (they are like regular flowers but more deadly)

"Get in there, blackjack, we got more planned for ya" Argus said as he threw her in the cell.

More? What else do they have planned for me? Don't tell me....

Before I could finish my thought, the creepy pirate, Youngblood's dad, opened the cell.

"Hope these quarters are well for ya, lass. As ya can see, we tried our wee best to make ya feel at home" Youngblood asked, warily floating towards me as if I'm a bomb about to explode.

"It's a little bit dull but I think I'll survive, now can you tell me why the hell I'm here" I asked the captain as calmly as I can.

"I think ya already know, don't ya?"

My world began to crash as soon as those words escaped his mouth.

"You're going to use me for some sort of ritual"

"Right ya are lassie" Pointing towards the cell door, he continued. "You're are gonna make us a very special potion. This potion will damage yer human soul but it'll be worth it. For this potion..."

My eyes widened at the realization "Will make you human again". I began to feel sick to my stomach. "How in the hell do you expect me to know how you make you this? I know close to nothing about making potions"

"That is why we are bringing ya to our good pal Skulker. He is a good potion/poison maker as well as an excellent hunter lass" Youngblood said, slowly floating (?) towards me.

"Lemme guess. After you use him, you will just kill him again. But the only question I have is how can you kill a gho-" As the pieces began to put themselves together, I remembered something Tucker said.
Tucker is speaking now
"Ghosts are just like us. They have something I like to call a resurrected soul. This soul is basically their heart. If you can somehow rip that soul, which is shaped like a stone, apart, you can evidently get rid off the ghost forever."
Tucker is done speaking now.

Tucker told Danny and I this a couple of days before we left for this dam trip. My heart began to pound as soon as Capt. Youngblood said "It's not him I am planning to kill lassie,

It's you"

If you didn't understand, what this potion will do is turn the ghost crew human. As a result, Sam's human soul will be given as a sacrifice. After she makes the potion, Youngblood will destroy the other half of her soul.

I will try to remain consistent with my updates. For now, I think I'll update at least once or twice a week.

Thank you for the 1k reads. I don't use Wattpad as often as I would like due to my term paper and life as a junior kinda makes me forget about this story :p.
