There (Haunted)

Chapter fifty-eight

'Dear journal,

It has been three days since I first came up here. I could not of write anything the first day because I was so scared incase Charles or anyone came down here. I don't know why I'm so scared of him, I feel like he could kill me within seconds, in a way that doesn't make sense, but he would want to make me suffer...'

Has Charles always had those powers? No, that would be impossible, maybe Ben could sense those powers inside of his brother and was scared of him, that would make sense.

'Plus Alex says that I can never go up to see anyone until its safe, even if I want to help Abigail he stops me. I don't know how he does it, he manages to lock all the doors leading upwards and he would shut me under the floorboards in the middle of the room if I try to get out. To add to that when I'm under the boards Alex places the rug over them, after that a table so it would be impossible to get out. I'm always helpess. And I hate it!

My brother has always been the naughty one. Constantly getting in trouble by the teachers and by our parents. He's a trouble maker. Sometimes I think father hits him so he can knock some sense into him. I don't know whether thats the right thing to do though. After all, he has only just turned 8. But then again, he is like the devil's child. And with the other two, god knows what they will get up to when they're older!

I'm just thinking, what happens if I never see my sister again? That god forbid something bad happens and she's gone forever.'

Lets be honest here, she's not really gone is she?

'What happens if I never see anyone again, part of me would love to never be able to see Charles again but after all, he is my brother for goodness sake. But then really I don't care, he's a bad person and surely will become worse. I hope I never see him again!

You know Alex is back again, he stands over in the far dark corner staring at me. Sometimes I wonder of it even is him. But then who else can it be?

Alex does look a little odd, a bit creepy looking. His skin is pale, almost white and his eyes are a very very dark brown, almost black. He's speaking to me now actually. But I'm not really paying attension, something about-....'

Then there is nothing more. Just a blank half a page. He just stopped writting! What the hell happened?

I flick through the pages to see if theres anymore but there isn't until I get near the back. The dates changed. Its been 6 months. Maybe it'll say what happened.

I begin to read:

' Dear journal,

Charles found me. That was what Alex was trying to tell me about, i'm sorry I stopped so suddenly! But when your murderous brother finds your hiding place you have to drop everything and run! Oh yes, Charles, Aaron and Rose murdered Abigail. About a month ago thats when. A lot can happen in 6 months!-...'

Suddenly i'm stopped by William waving his hand in front of my face. Slowly I look up and close Ben's journal.

"What?" I snap, I do not like it when people interrupt my reading!

"You're gonna wanna come see this!" He says.

Quickly he turns around and heads out of my room, so I get up from my bed and follow him. William leads me downstairs, through the hallway, then the kitchen finally the lobby then through the backdoor into the garden.

There I see a tall familiar figure standing there. His clothes scruffy and his hair scruffier. A random pair of converse are on his feet which do not match his outfit at all.

"Aaron." I mutter as I stare speechless at him.

He only stands a few metres away from me. "Please do not freak out, I promise you I will not hurt you! I came to tell you something and ask a question, is that alright?"

"What the hell, no! Your a frickin' murderer, when you were a boy and a ghost! You can kill me within seconds!" I snap.

William stands next to me, his arms crossed, and his eyes fly between me and Aaron.

"No I can't." Aaron says quietly.

"What, yes you can? You killed William's dad, you can kill me, because I have the same thing both William and his dad had." I say harshly.

"Exactly why I can't kill you."

"What? What do you mean?"

"I already killed William's dad, with my power I can only kill one of you. So I can't kill you. Nor can Rose."

"Because she killed William. Right?"

"Right. Its only Charles who can kill you but thats pretty hard because he can't kill normal humans."

"But I can see ghosts, how am I a normal human?"

"Your not. But you don't have the tumour."

"How? Why don't I have the tumour?"

He signs. "Basically your body repels any bad thing, like the tumour. Your body is one of the strongest things ever. You've had cancer, but you destroyed it and you didn't even feel a thing. And can you remember that time when you met Danny? You thought your appendix had exploded, well it did, but it re-fixed itself, which is impossible."

"H-How?" Is all I can say.

"Because your the chosen one."

We stand in silence for a few seconds, Aaron smirks at me. I still need time to take in everything. So basically Charles is the only one who can kill me but he can't. Like what happened with Harry the other day! Charles tried to kill me but the power went straight back and hit him! Now that makes sense.

But i'm the chosen one? Thats pretty cool actually!

"Oh and the question." Aaron finally breaks the silence and interrupts my thoughts. "I'd like you to come to my house later, to show you the real reason my family committed suicide and to show you i've changed, honestly."
