Ghost Pt. 8 Fear

   Decans scrambled back as he started at the face. He couldn't breath. The ground under him was slick with mud. He couldn't get any traction.
   The face hovered. And then everything stopped The screams and slamming doors. The storm even seemed to quiet down a bit.
   And the face laughed. It was... a kid!? He threw his head back snd held his stomach and laughed.
   "Wow!!! I haven't had this much fun in ages!!!" The figure stepped out. He was in black robes. Like the ghost from earlier.
   "W-what?" Decans managed to stutter out.
   "It was jut a joke. Light tricks. Trap doors. Most of the stuff you saw was your mind playing tricks on you." The kid held his hand out.
   Decans stared at him. "What!?"
   "Come on! I don't bite!" The boys sockets were empty but he had a big grin on his face.
  Deccy took the kids hand. He got to his feet. His soul was still racing. "W-where are my friends!?"
   "Aw don't worry! They're fine! Come one!" The kid headed back inside and flicked a switch. Actual lights came on.
   "How..." Dec shut his mouth before he finished.
   The kid lead the way upstairs with a hum. He bounced a bit. He had bare feet... "I'm Reaper by the way. Sorry about the spooks. I just don't get a lot of visitors!"
   "D-Decans..." I mumbled. "That really wasn't nice! Geno is sick, and Error has anxiety, and Fresh... Fresh didn't deserve that!!!"
   Reaper glanced back. "Sorry..?" He turned and headed down a hallway.
   Deccy didn't want to be left behind. "Do you just do this for fun!?"
   "Not much else to do. Im kinda stuck here. Mom told me to stay here and then... she never came back." He shrugged.
   That...kinda made Deccy feel bad. "Oh..."
   Reaper stopped and opened up a door. "Hello!!!"
   The inside of the room was soundproofed. They were all there... all five of them. In various stated of distress.
  "Deccy!" Club cried. He dragged myself over and latched onto Decans.
  "Hey you!! We're you the one that did this!? This wasn't fucking funny!!!" Error hissed out.
   Ink still looked paler than usual as he was quiet. I don't blame him.
   "This was pretty messed up kid..." Even Geno looked upset. He was the first one gone. He didn't have to watch anyone else disappear.
   "I'm sorry... it was just a joke... most of it wasn't even real." Reaper rubbed his arm.
   I was trembling lightly in Clubs arm. "S not cool..." I muttered into Clubs shirt.
   Reaper had the decency to look guilty. "I'm sorry. I don't get visitors.. and my house is perfect for ghost stories."
   Geno sighed and rubbed his temples. "We'll talk about this in the morning. For now lets all go to sleep. It's late and we've all had a long night."
   Leave it to Geno to calm everyone down.
   Error grumbled snd sank down in a corner of the room. Ink settled next to him.
   Club dragged myself snd Deccy to the other corner. He wasn't going to let go of us anytime soon.
  Geno talked in a hush voice with Reaper before he too sank down to rest. He looked exhausted. He was probably worried for us.
   Reaper sighed. "I'll bring blankets. Wait here."
  I guess we were never in any real danger after all....
