There (Haunted)

Chapter sixty-five

They're back. They're back. They are back! The ghosts are back!

Well my ghosts.. not my ghosts but the ghosts of my house.

For 2 years Abigail, John, Mary-Alice, Charles, Aaron and Rose have disappeared. Not a single trace to where they had gone to.

Whether they had just been secretly watching me from somewhere I don't know but now they are back and I can find out some more things. Even though I pretty much have found out that it's basically William that can control my future but then so can Aaron because he's the devil's son and Rose and Aaron can try to kill me but can't because they have already used all their power against William and his dad but Charles is the only one who can try to kill be but failed because there must be some sort of fault on his power or that I have a very strong body that can reject and bounce back any power off of me and onto Charles. Well it's not my fault is it! However none of it is over, because over the 2 years William told me that together of they can all merge their powers together they can kill me, well it's what they want. A world where theirs not a protector for ghosts, a world where the 3 of them can rule. Any bad what's that don't they?

I rush to the spare room to see a younger girl, whom I recognise.

Her long black hair reaching past her shoulders, her eyes hazel, her skin white, but not the colour of snow plus she wears a long white dress falling at her knees. It's the girl I saw in the picture I found down in the basement, it's Abigail.

But not the Abigail I know.

The Abigail I know- knew had skin the colour of snow, a little grey to be honest, black eyes like coal, a circled blood patch in the middle, her long black hair, scruffy and covering her eyes a little.

She's changed, well of course she has! I reckon they all have then even though Aaron looked normal, he should look all wet because he drowned, that's how he died.

What doesn't make sense is that why could ghosts like Aaron, Rose and Charles can their looks but yet Abigail looked like something from a nightmare.

"It's because we were cursed." Abigail interrupts me from my thoughts.

"Oh I forgot you can read my mind." I laugh faintly and look to the ground. "But why did you leave?"

"That I cannot tell you. I'm sorry." Abigail signs.

"But I can." a voice from behind me says.

I spin round to see William leaning against the spare room door. My eyes light up, it's good to see him again. Honestly it been ages but not as long as it has been with Abigail.

I smile at William and he returns. "Because Aaron was getting close to finding out that if he merges the 3 powers together he can kill you so he managed to stop all of us from getting here to at least tell you to be prepared."

"Or help." Abigail adds.

"But why are you here now? And why couldn't Abigail tell me?"

"Because we managed to slip past him, he can't recharge and stop 4 ghosts at once, remember their is 3 of them and 4 of us. We only went along with it to make him think that you can't see ghosts anymore so they would all stop trying to kill you." William tells me.

"And I didn't want to have to say anything because I was afraid Charles would somehow be able to hear me." Abigail finishes.

"Speaking about them, do you actually know where Rose, Aaron and Charles have gone?" I ask.

"No clue." William shrugs as I turn to look at him but when I turn back to face Abigail I see her freeze in position, she shivers and rises up off the ground to the ceiling and through it.

I farrow my eyes brows and look back at William who looks as confused as me.

Barely a second goes when a I hear a hitch pitched scream.

I slam my eye shut as the screeching sound feels like it rips through me ears. I cover my eras with the palms of my hands and squat to the floor. I feel William cover his body over me like to prevent something from falling on me...

But it doesn't make sense, he's a ghost now, I can't touch him, he can't touch me.

"How are you touching me?" I scream over the high pitched noise.

"I don't know!" He shouts back.

Fortunately the screaming stops and me and William get slowly back up to see Abigail standing in front of us.

I watch in horror as her eyes slowly get darker, her hair begins to fall, the colour from her skin goes lighter and the old blood patch begins to grow back in the middle of her stomach.

"Rose is here." she cries.

Me and William spin round as we hear a faint noise from behind us.

There we see a china doll.

Her glass eyes blue like a crystal. Rosy red cheeks and bright red pouted lips. The doll wears a straight clean white blouse with a tartan skirt, plus polished black shoes and white knee high socks. Finally she wears a red little hat and her hair is plaited with ribbons at the bottom.

"I knew ghosts could change some features but I didn't know Rose could change into a doll." I say confused.

I look at the doll and it looks at me, it's eyes moving to connect with mine and it smirks at me with its once pouted lips.
