I heard laughing.....I woke up and my door was open. Huh. I don't remember opening it? I looked down the stairs to see that Carol women with my dad laughing. Ew she's here again. I walked back to my room and slammed the door. I heard tapping and turned to my window to see Nick again. Finally someone to talk to. I opened my window and looked at Nick who kept looking at me, searching for something. I asked,"What is it? Is my hair messed up?" He laughed and said,"No, you looked frustrated and I was just-" He stopped mid-sentence and kept staring at me. I stared back at him then felt something prance into my arms seeing a black cat in my arms. Nick laughed and said,"Sorry it's my moms. She wants me to take it for a walk. Want to come with?" I nodded and said,"Sure well what's it's name?" I patted the cats head and it rumbled. He said,"Her name is Victoria." He made a whistle sound and Victoria leaped out of my arms into Nick's. I heard a knock then I said,"You better get down before my dad grabs his gun." Nick nodded then jumped down and cursed. I looked down to see him on his butt, I laughed then closed the window. I turned and said,"Come in!" Carol walked in, oh great. She smiled and said,"Hey, my father said to check on you. He heard some slamming and wanted me to check on you." I said almost icily,"I am okay thanks for checking." She looked at me as if I didn't sound mean and said,"Well breakfast is downstairs if you want some." She walked out of my room and slammed the door. Ugh I hate this.
I walked downstairs still wearing my pajamas to see Carol talking with my dad in the living room again. They were watching the news, great some crappy news and Carol. What next? Barney? I turned on my ipod putting it on loud, Timbaland just came on. I walked over to the kitchen and grabbed breakfast then looked over to see my dad still talking to Carol. I sighed in frustration then just went outside the backyard to eat, I sat down on the backyard's porch swing swinging while eating. I felt something push and I turned to see Marie pushing it sadly. I asked,"What's wrong?" She looked at me then smiled half-heartedly and sat down next to me. She said,"I really miss my daughter. You don't know how it feels to lose something you loved dearly to never see them again." I sighed and said,"Actually I do. My mom died a few years ago and I still miss her." She said,"Oh is that why you despise that Carol lady?" I nodded in a way that made Marie laugh. She said,"Well, you should at least give her a try." I shrugged and said,"Maybe I guess. I don't know I just...don't like how dad is betraying mom so much." Marie put her hand on my shoulder and said,"Your mom wants best for you and your dad. To be happy, she doesn't want you guys to be sad. She wants you to move on. I know it's hard to make an adult decision but you have to let her go." Marie faded and I sat there thinking while feeling tears coming on. When all the tears were gone, I walked into the house to still see them talking. I sighed and kept thinking, mom only wants whats best, mom only wants whats best. Oh who am I kidding? I can't do this! I just looked straight without looking and walked up the stairs. I heard my dad yelling and took off my headphones to see they were still on. Suprisingly, they were playing Tonight Alive - Wasting Away which I enjoyed a lot. My dad sighed and asked,"You researching again?" I nodded and he said,"Oh okay. Me and Carol are gonna take a stroll around the town and don't wait up." I said,"Oh okay bye." I ran upstairs and changed then came back down hearing the sound of a car beeping. I looked up to see Nick's car waiting in the front, I ran out and went to his car.
He said,"Hey what's up?" I said,"Nothing much but Ms. Barbie at my house again. Anyways, did you pick up any new information?" Nick said,"No and the library is closed so...where do we go?" I said,"Maybe we'll sneak into my basement since theres boxes everywhere probably filled with information we might need." He said,"Good idea so how do we sneak into your basement?" I said,"Follow me." I climb out and Nick follows, we go into the forest and I trip on something. I look up from the ground to see a dead body and scream. Nick ran to me and gasped. I said,"Call the police now!" He started dialing on his phone and I search the body to find something in his hand...paper. The paper said,"Thanks for doing the favor now here's the price. -RP" Oh.My.God. RP killed this man who had a grocery store name tag that said,"Harry" This is Harry the one that hid Annabelle's and Marie's bodies! We lost our only witness! Nick said,"Okay the police are coming - Lea what's wrong?" I turned to him and said,"We lost our only witness." He asked,"What do you mean?" I yelled,"This guy! Harry was our only damn witness to where Annabelle's and Marie's bodies were!" Nick looked at me scared and also frustrated then police sirens rang in the air. They found us and wrapped up Harry's body.
A few hours later....
"Harry died from stabbing. As you can see there is stabs on his back and chest.", the forensic officer said. I said,"Thanks officer." I walked towards Nick and said,"It's over we lost our only witness." Nick said,"Don't worry we'll figure something out." I yelled,"It's over! I don't even know why we started! We can't solve this with Harry dead! Let's face it Nick! We can't solve this!" I started to walk away then Nick said,"Maybe you think that but really we can search forever and still crack an answer sooner or later Lea." I stopped and rethought. Maybe he's right. I walked towards him and said,"I'm sorry maybe you're right. Here's the plan, we are gonna search downstairs for more information and go to the library to search up Harry's history." Nick smiled and said,"That's the Lea I remember." We both laughed and said our goodbyes. We can do this. I know so and hope so.

Chap.8
Tap, tap, tap. I kept hearing the same taping. I put my pillow over my head then decided to look up after a few taps to see Nick at my window. He put a paper against my door that said,"Let Me In!" I got up sleepily and opened my window. He said,"Okay, so I looked up Marie's files at the hospital and found out her boyfriend, his initials were RP I think? I couldn't get a good look because I just snuck into the file closet and a doctor was coming in so I had to rush out fast." I asked,"How did you even get into the file closet?" He laughed,"It wasn't easy and it's a very long story so if you could just hurry up so we can figure out what RP stands for?" I said,"Wait, let me eat just come casually to the front, my dad was ready to grab his shotgun when he found out we were downstairs." Nick laughed then noticed something on my forehead and touched it. I flinched, oh yeah, the fall. Great now I have a bruise on my forehead. Nick asked,"What happened?" I said,"Well....Annabelle screamed so loud that I flew off my legs and bonked my head." He laughed then kept touching my forehead but we heard my door start to open and I pushed him down. I turned to see my dad still kind of tired and he asked,"What are you doing up early? Thinking about early studying with that boy again?" I said,"Yes sorry I just want to get good grades." He laughed and said,"Now you care about grades. All you do is dance." I blushed and said,"Dad I'll meet you downstairs kay?" He nodded and walked out. I instantly ran to the window to see Nick on the ground moaning in pain. I yelled,"Are you okay? That was a pretty high fall!" He nodded and said,"I'm okay just recovering that's all." I laughed and said,"Meet you downstairs." He waved and I ran downstairs then grabbed a bite of cereal. I never have been this excited and when Nick touched me...it felt good. I still felt the burning from his touch on my face. My dad asked,"Excited for studying I can see." After chewing all of my cereal down and almost throwing it into the sink, I said,"The new school has got me so excited ya know." He laughed and asked,"Is it just to see that boy?" I frowned and said,"Dad, everything is just not about boys. Now I have to hurry up, the library is gonna get busy with college students if I don't hurry up." My dad just laughed and gestured me to run off. I sighed and ran up to hastily, put on some clothes then run down the stairs again to find Nick waiting in the living room again. I was gonna get used to this. Nick said,"Hey Lea, ready?" I nodded and said,"Yeah, okay bye dad!" My dad yelled from the kitchen,"Bye!" Both of us got out and headed to Nick's car. Once we were inside there was a book that said,"How to Deal with Ghosts in Your House." I snorted and Nick got into the car then said,"Oh yeah I got that for you, for ya know. Help." I smiled at him and said,"Thanks, I like it." He smiled at me then started the car and we were off to the library.
Once we got there, we started looking around for ghost books and paranomal stuff. There was tons from Spirits with Unfinished Business to How to do Paranomal Research in your House. It was amazing of how dumb and helpful some of these books were. Communicating ideas, oujia board ideas, everything you might need. At the end of all the book searching, we began searching for information that might help Marie and Annabelle then put sticky notes and tabs near the tips that might help. Soon everything was covered in sticky notes and stuff that it looked like a college book or a study book from school.
Nick dropped me off at my house, it was 6 PM, the sun was still out, just setting. When the car stopped at the driveway of my house I said,"Thanks for the help today." Nick nodded and said,"No problem. I'm glad I was help." I smiled and he smiled back. It felt nice being with him, I always felt this warmness whenever he smiled at me the way he does. Soon I felt as if the distance between us was closing then I heard a woman laughing and turned to see a woman in the living room. Dad. Great. I said,"I better go. Seems that we have a visitor." I unbuckled and got out of the car. Nick said,"See ya tommorow?" I nodded and said,"Sure." I closed the door and began stomping up to the porch into the house. I saw my dad talking with a blonde woman and they seemed happy. How could he do this to mom? To me? Dad noticed me and said,"Hey Lea, this is one of our neighbors down the street, her name is Carol. Carol, this is my daughter Lea." I looked at Carol, she was wearing a jean cardigan with a white dress that had pink flower prints on it. She was wearing pink heels and was wearing red lipstick. Typical. She's like any average blonde around here. Carol said,"Hi, it's so nice to finally see the amazing Lea." I said flatly,"Well I'm here. (to Dad or the betrayer) What's for dinner?" My dad said,"Well Carol made spaghetti if you want some." Ew no way am I having food from that thing. I said,"Never mind, I was pretty full anyway. Me and Nick ate burger king and stuff." My dad said,"Oh okay kiddo, why don't you head upstairs, you've had a pretty long day." I smiled fakely and went upstairs. God! I can't stand this! Watching my dad with her! Okay just calm down, calm down.
I went upstairs and kept researching until I fell asleep on my laptop. In this dream, it was like my other dream. It looked so real. I was digging then found a case that said,"Annabelle." I said,"It's Annabelle's coffin!" I heard someone's darky laughter then turned to see a man with a brown dark beard holding a knife in his hand. He looked like....our strange neighbor? It couldn't be. But the man got closer then he said,"I knew you were up to something. Now...you just sit there, this won't hurt a bit." He kept inching closer then I ducked under his arm and started running up the stairs. He got my leg and dragged me down the stairs like my other dream except this time I got a better grip on the last stair and kicked him in the face. He yelped and fell back. I ran up the stairs then locked the door, I put my back against the door, gasping. Suddenly, I woke up everything in place but I felt sweat running down my forehead to the side of cheek. I was gasping, soon I realized what time it was, 1 in the morning god. Man this whole dream thing is getting on my nerves. I closed my laptop then grabbed my ipod and went to sleep. I hope this dream is much more peaceful.

Chap.7
Me and Nick headed back to my house. I told him about the basement and he thinks we could find more evidence in the basement. I really hope so too. While we were looking, I found some pretty interesting stuff. I said,"Nick come here, these are some pretty old documents. Look at this. Marie was a half time working nurse at a hospital." He said,"Huh. Do you think we could head to the hospital where she worked to see if there is files of her that she worked there?" I nodded and said,"No because then we might get busted, my dad doesn't like me snooping around. If he finds out he might get suspicious and stuff then I will have to tell him what's been going on." Nick nodded and said,"Yeah tell him, he can actually help us." I sighed and said,"Nick, there are two things you don't know about my dad: One, he doesn't listen to me when I talk nosense about stuff and two, he doesn't listen to me. There is no way is gonna listen when he finds out I have been talking to ghosts and helping them. He will get into his....ghosts are just spirits with unfinished business. Ugh trust me it gets worse when you keep listening to it." Nick laughed and said,"Okay then whatever." We went on back to looking around, finding information or as he calls it "evidence." I looked in a box fulled with old dusty pictures and documents. I noticed a folded up paper fell out and when I looked at it, a picture fell out and there was a old pictures of the house. It was just snapshots of the house and how it looks like inside then I saw a picture. There was Marie with the unknown suspect, her boyfriend and Annabelle cradled in her arms. They looked so happy....I looked at the paper and picked it up. There was a seal with the initials RP. RP? Who or what did that stand for? Anyways, I opened it and it was pretty old, wrinkled from the folds and was a tanish kind of color. It said,"Dear Harry, I hope you are good at hiding the evidence. Bury their bodies and keep them hiden. The less evidence the better. Sincerely, RP." Was RP the one that killed Marie and Annabelle? While I was trying to decode this, I heard a knock and my dad yelled,"Back so soon? What are you both doing down there? You better not be doing what I think you're doing." I yelled,"Dad! It's just me, Nick headed to the bathroom!" He yelled,"Okay! Just making sure. I ordered some pizza if you want some!" I replied,"Thanks dad! We'll think about it!" We heard footsteps and heard the TV go off. Nick asked,"Should I head home? I can probably come back tommorow or something? If that's cool with you." I smiled and said,"Sure. You better go before my dad thinks we're doing something." He laughed and left. When he was gone, I stuck the note in my pocket, I am gonna find out who RP is, no matter how long it takes.
I headed upstairs to see my dad and the strange man who is our neighbor watching the game. They both yelled,"No!" Man, this is so wierd, I expected my neighbor to...I don't know, shoot some ducks outta the sky or something. But this? This is just too wierd. My dad noticed me and said,"Oh hi Lea. You remember our neighbor, Robert." I nodded toward him and he nodded back, he looked at me kind of mean and scary. I kind of felt myself cringe. My dad asked in time,"Where's that boy of yours?" I sighed in relief thank god he said something, I thought he would get into a whole staring contest. I said,"He went home his mom called him." He nodded and said,"Oh okay, well there's some pizza if you want any." I said,"No thanks, I am gonna head upstairs and read." He nodded then I began walking up the stairs. While I was walking up the stairs, I felt a rumbling and I yelled,"Dad? Did you feel that?" He yelled,"Feel what? I felt nothing." I yelled,"Never mind, it was just me." He said,"Okay then just tell me if you need anything." I kept walking up the stairs and heard crying. It was a small cry then it got louder and louder until everything started falling. The lamps, lights, vases, everything was just crashing. I yelled,"Annabelle! Please calm down just calm down!" She didn't she kept crying and the floor rumbled to the point, I fell to the floor and bonked my head which made me faint.....
"Lea, Lea, please stay with me. Stay with me sweety.", I heard my father's voice say. My eyes swept the room but all I saw was bluriness. I kept blinking to make everything look normal again, but soon I fell back asleep... Beep....Beep...Beep....
This dream, felt so real and even looked so real.....I was running upstairs then someone grabbed me by my legs and began dragging me by my legs down it. My chin, bumping them each time I went down one. I struggled to get free but couldn't get free, my hands clinching the last step, my nails trying to dig into the wood but just failed to hold on. I screamed and got dragged into darkness....
I woke up, gasping, sweat covering my forehead and I woke up in my room. My dad said,"Woah woah Lea, calm down. It was just a bad dream. Calm down." I calmed down my breathing and slowly layed back in my bed. He asked,"Who's RP?" I asked confused,"What?" He said,"RP. You kept saying it over and over and over again. Is RP a band or is it a initial for someone's name?" Oh yeah! RP! I said,"Oh, I don't know sometimes I ramble randomly when I dream." My dad laughed and said,"Well you should go to bed. Get some shut eye." I laughed and said,"Okay dad goodnight." He kissed my forehead then walked out of my room. I closed my eyes and heard someone say,"Your dream...why did it look so real? Are they all that real?" I nodded and opened my eyes to see Marie standing near my bed, leaning against my window. I said,"No they are usually like cartoons or something. I never expected anything like this. I thought it was real, it felt real." Marie asked,"Do you have any special gifts?" I looked at her suspiciously and asked,"gifts? What kind of gifts are you talking about?" She said,"Gifts, ya know like seeing ghosts or seeing them in your mind or future kind of stuff..." I said,"I don't re-call having any special gifts." She nodded and said,"Well keep that in mind okay. See you tommorow." She faded and I layed back in my bed. Special gifts? What is she talking about?

Chap.6
I woke up to the sound of a knock at my door. I groaned and said into my pillow,"Go away!" My dad yelled over my door,"You have a visitor!" I sat up on my bed and asked,"Who?" He said,"A boy!" I opened the door then ran downstairs and saw Nick sitting on the couch in the living room. He stood up and said,"Sorry to wake you." I asked,"What are you doing here? I thought I had work?" He nodded and said,"Someone took my shift." I nodded and said,"You wait here I am gonna go get ready. Just stay here." I ran upstairs and my dad asked,"Is this a boyfriend of yours I don't know about?" I nodded and said,"No! He's somebody that goes to my school. He's gonna show me around the school." He said,"Okay I trust you and remember, you have your mace." I groaned and said,"Dad!" He said,"Sorry sorry go ahead and change." I ran to my room and changed. Marie was sitting on my bed and she looked kind of mad. I asked,"What is it?" She asked,"Are you going on a date?" I looked at her kind of annoyed and said,"No! We're gonna try and get you and Annabelle reunited! I am trying to help you Marie. I don't take people for granted." She nodded and said,"I trust you Lea." She disappeared and I sighed. Boy this is not my day.
I got downstairs and I saw Nick roaming around my house. I laughed and asked,"Done look at artifacts at my house?" He turned to me and said,"I was just looking around." I nodded and said,"Let's just go." He nodded and began walking to the door, my dad suddenly said,"Hold up there you two!" We turned to see my dad with his hands on his hips looking at us suspiciously. He said,"I trust you kids. You guys can come back around 9, but don't come back too late." I smiled and said,"Thanks dad." We left and my dad waved on the porch. Me and Nick got to his old looking truck and once we were in, I said,"Just keep waving as we are leaving." Nick laughed and said,"Okay." We left and kept waving as we drove away. Once the house was out of veiw, I asked,"Where are we going first?" Nick said,"A resturant so you can get breakfast, then a professional medium to get info how to reunite ghosts and stop by the library to get info about more ghost stuff for you." I said,"This is a long list." He shrugged and asked,"Have you heard from Marie or Annabelle?" I laughed lightly and said,"Yeah I heard Annabelle's wail, it scared me to death. Everything began breaking and falling then when my dad came up everything was back in order and everything was fine." Nick looked at me confused when we were at a stop light and asked,"Do you think she reacted like that because of Marie's boyfriend? Do you think she is cautious about father figures?" I looked at him and said,"I never thought about it that way. She just started screaming because Marie was looking for her I didn't really think about why she stopped. Thanks Nick."He smiled and said,"Nah, it's my duty. I am very smart." We laughed then we realized it was a green light because people started blinking. Nick stepped on the petal and said,"Shoot!" I laughed and said,"You are out of it today aren't you?" He laughed and said,"Kind of, I am usually aware and pre-" Before he could finish I yelled,"Nick!" It was on a red light and Nick hit the breaks before he hit someone. We sighed in relief and he said,"Man, you are very distracting." I laughed and asked,"Me?" he laughed and said,"Yes you." I sighed and said,"Well you're an ass." We just laughed then I talked about how I have been finding information about Annabelle and Marie but never really found information about Marie's boyfriend. Nick said,"Sometimes it's hard to find really good information sometimes you have look through their background." I mumbled to myself,"Look through their background..." I looked through the basement...maybe I wasn't looking hard enough....
We got to the medium's office, it wasn't really that busy today. But when we first got in, a women came out with tears, being held by an older woman probably her grandmother. I hope this won't turn bad. Me and Nick got inside her office and the medium was holding a tissue probably from what happened with that lady. She looked up and said,"Hi, I am Ms. Franklin please sit down." We sat down and she asked,"What can I do for you young folks?" I said,"Umm...we were wondering if you could help us bring two dead people back together." She looked at me suspicious and asked,"Why on earth would you want that?" I said,"There are these two ghosts that haunt me and they put their lives on my hands. They ask me to bring them back together but...I don't know how to do that. Please you have to help me-us!" She looked at us, then said,"Come with me to the round table." We followed her to a round table which had a cross in the middle. She said,"Both of you join hands." All three of us joined hands then she began saying,"Try to contact both of them at the same time and bring them together." I closed my eyes, calling both Marie and Annabelle together. They both saw each other, they began running towards each other then they ran into a wall. I tried breaking it, thinking really hard but when I tried....they couldn't reach each other. Suddenly all three of our chairs flew back as if strong wind blew us. I opened my eyes and began gasping for air, and then the medium said,"Something is wrong, there is this wall not bringing them together. You have to somehow break that wall." I said,"How? I have no clue what I am doing and I can't do this!" She said,"Yes you can you just have to believe you can." I sighed and said,"Thanks, we better go." She said,"Come back anytime deary." Me and Nick left and while we were walking to the car, Nick said,"That was...wierd. But...how can you break that wall?" I nodded and said,"I don't know this is like a puzzle game that you can't solve. So many missing pieces that go places you just can't find them anywhere." He said,"Well maybe we should find those pieces." But where would those pieces be....
I got downstairs and I saw Nick roaming around my house. I laughed and asked,"Done look at artifacts at my house?" He turned to me and said,"I was just looking around." I nodded and said,"Let's just go." He nodded and began walking to the door, my dad suddenly said,"Hold up there you two!" We turned to see my dad with his hands on his hips looking at us suspiciously. He said,"I trust you kids. You guys can come back around 9, but don't come back too late." I smiled and said,"Thanks dad." We left and my dad waved on the porch. Me and Nick got to his old looking truck and once we were in, I said,"Just keep waving as we are leaving." Nick laughed and said,"Okay." We left and kept waving as we drove away. Once the house was out of veiw, I asked,"Where are we going first?" Nick said,"A resturant so you can get breakfast, then a professional medium to get info how to reunite ghosts and stop by the library to get info about more ghost stuff for you." I said,"This is a long list." He shrugged and asked,"Have you heard from Marie or Annabelle?" I laughed lightly and said,"Yeah I heard Annabelle's wail, it scared me to death. Everything began breaking and falling then when my dad came up everything was back in order and everything was fine." Nick looked at me confused when we were at a stop light and asked,"Do you think she reacted like that because of Marie's boyfriend? Do you think she is cautious about father figures?" I looked at him and said,"I never thought about it that way. She just started screaming because Marie was looking for her I didn't really think about why she stopped. Thanks Nick."He smiled and said,"Nah, it's my duty. I am very smart." We laughed then we realized it was a green light because people started blinking. Nick stepped on the petal and said,"Shoot!" I laughed and said,"You are out of it today aren't you?" He laughed and said,"Kind of, I am usually aware and pre-" Before he could finish I yelled,"Nick!" It was on a red light and Nick hit the breaks before he hit someone. We sighed in relief and he said,"Man, you are very distracting." I laughed and asked,"Me?" he laughed and said,"Yes you." I sighed and said,"Well you're an ass." We just laughed then I talked about how I have been finding information about Annabelle and Marie but never really found information about Marie's boyfriend. Nick said,"Sometimes it's hard to find really good information sometimes you have look through their background." I mumbled to myself,"Look through their background..." I looked through the basement...maybe I wasn't looking hard enough....
We got to the medium's office, it wasn't really that busy today. But when we first got in, a women came out with tears, being held by an older woman probably her grandmother. I hope this won't turn bad. Me and Nick got inside her office and the medium was holding a tissue probably from what happened with that lady. She looked up and said,"Hi, I am Ms. Franklin please sit down." We sat down and she asked,"What can I do for you young folks?" I said,"Umm...we were wondering if you could help us bring two dead people back together." She looked at me suspicious and asked,"Why on earth would you want that?" I said,"There are these two ghosts that haunt me and they put their lives on my hands. They ask me to bring them back together but...I don't know how to do that. Please you have to help me-us!" She looked at us, then said,"Come with me to the round table." We followed her to a round table which had a cross in the middle. She said,"Both of you join hands." All three of us joined hands then she began saying,"Try to contact both of them at the same time and bring them together." I closed my eyes, calling both Marie and Annabelle together. They both saw each other, they began running towards each other then they ran into a wall. I tried breaking it, thinking really hard but when I tried....they couldn't reach each other. Suddenly all three of our chairs flew back as if strong wind blew us. I opened my eyes and began gasping for air, and then the medium said,"Something is wrong, there is this wall not bringing them together. You have to somehow break that wall." I said,"How? I have no clue what I am doing and I can't do this!" She said,"Yes you can you just have to believe you can." I sighed and said,"Thanks, we better go." She said,"Come back anytime deary." Me and Nick left and while we were walking to the car, Nick said,"That was...wierd. But...how can you break that wall?" I nodded and said,"I don't know this is like a puzzle game that you can't solve. So many missing pieces that go places you just can't find them anywhere." He said,"Well maybe we should find those pieces." But where would those pieces be....

Chap.5
I sat on bed reading on and on about Marie and Annabelle, they all tell the same thing. How Marie was murdered, who killed her, who hid Annabelle. They all tell the same thing, they all keep yelling at me it coulda been the boyfriend. But who is he? I went on my laptop to find out more, but found nothing about him just the description Nick gave me, western, long brown beard, etc etc. Since I couldn't find information about Marie's mysterious western boyfriend, I decided to look up articles about Marie and Annabelle. They all said stuff like,"Baby Gone Missing a Few days Later Mom is Found Dead. or The Unsolved Case of Marie Hatching." I kept searching and searching until I heard a knock at my door and nearly jumped off my chair. My dad said,"Time to eat pumpkin." I yelled,"Coming!" He yelled,"Okay! We're gonna be downstairs." I heard him leave then I sighed in relief and I turned off my computer for the night.
When I opened the door, I heard someone whisper,"Annabelle." I turned and saw nothing, I crept slowly towards the stairs and instantly heard a loud wail. Everything around started smashing and doors opening and closing, it felt as if the floor was gonna fall from right under me. I fell to the ground and covered my ears then yelled,"Dad!" I heard my dad run up the stairs and everything was okay, they looked clean and not broken. My dad came over to me and asked,"Are you all right?" I kept looking around me then said,"Everything was breaking and shattering! The floor was rumbling, and the wail was so loud!" My dad said,"Lea..." I looked at him and said,"No! No! You have to believe me dad! You aren't the only one who experiences ghost stuff!" He said,"Lea, stop it. I heard nothing, we just heard you screaming and came up and saw you on the floor!" I yelled,"How could you not hear that?!" My dad stood up and said,"Lea, enough. No more of this monkey business. Go to your room and go to sleep!" I stood up and stomped to my room.
How could he not believe me?! I heard this loud wail loud and clear! I grabbed a pillow and threw it against the wall. Something crashed along with my pillow, I looked up to see a picture on the floor. I picked it up and saw a baby girl smiling in the picture playing with a dog. I said,"That must've been you Annabelle, you were screaming. What were you telling me?" I heard laughter and saw a little baby girl sitting on my floor. She was smiling at me and said,"Mama, want mama." I kneeled down next to her and said,"I know you do, we'll find her." She looked at me with hopefulness then hugged me. I hugged her back then she disappeared, suddenly I heard the sound of shoes across the floor. There was Marie, sitting on my bed, she said,"You saw Annabelle didn't you?" I stood up and said,"Yeah, she really misses you." She sighed and said,"This is so hard ya know being a mom and never getting to see your kid." I said,"I know it must be hard, you have to give it time, we'll find some way to get you two into a family again." She smiled and said,"I believe in you Lea." I smiled and she said,"I really count on you." She put her hand on mine then began fading away.
Once she faded away, I heard a knock at my door and I knew it was my dad. I knew him to well, I yelled,"Go away!" My dad yelled,"Please let me in Lea please!" I yelled,"No! You never believe a damn word I say so why should I bother?!" He sighed and yelled,"I'm sorry okay! I'm sorry now will you please let me in!" I sighed and opened the door, he sighed in relief then said,"I thought you ran away or something." I rolled my eyes and said,"You worry too much dad, you are gonna go gray someday." He laughed and asked,"Am I forgiven?" I smiled and nodded, he hugged me then said,"I am glad, who were you talking to?" Oh man, the lying train again, all aboard for your next ticket to guilty-ville. I said,"Umm.... just chatting with some friends online." He said,"Oh cool. Jamie and Jess?" I said,"Yeah them! Hey dad can I go to bed now? I am tired." He said,"Oh sorry go ahead. Goodnight pumpkin." I said,"Goodnight." He left and I sighed in relief. Boy, will I need more excuses. I closed my door and grabbed my phone. I need help.
I jept repeating,"Come on, pick up pick up." Suddenly I heard someone pick up and I heard a tired Nick say,"Hello." I sighed and said,"Hey Nick." He groaned and asked,"What the heck are you doing awake at 12 in the morning?" I said,"Hey Nick, are you free tommorow? I need help." He asked,"Help with what?" I said,"Help with communicating with ghosts." He said,"Sure I am free tommorow. Meet me at the library whenever, I have a morning shift so I'll be there." I said,"Okay bye and thanks for helping me." He said,"Bye, can't wait." I laughed and said,"Okay bye." He hung up and I smiled after the call. Okay Lea, this is supposed to help Marie and Annabella this is not a date. Just calm down.
**Sorry for making this short! I couldn't think of anything else!
When I opened the door, I heard someone whisper,"Annabelle." I turned and saw nothing, I crept slowly towards the stairs and instantly heard a loud wail. Everything around started smashing and doors opening and closing, it felt as if the floor was gonna fall from right under me. I fell to the ground and covered my ears then yelled,"Dad!"

I hugged her back then she disappeared, suddenly I heard the sound of shoes across the floor. There was Marie, sitting on my bed, she said,"You saw Annabelle didn't you?" I stood up and said,"Yeah, she really misses you." She sighed and said,"This is so hard ya know being a mom and never getting to see your kid."

Chap.4
"Okay, so..authors that have heard about this unsolved mystery, decided to write books about it. Like...'The What Ifs...of Marie Hatching.' or 'Missing Baby, Dead Mom.' They all revolve around this case.", Nick said while picking out the books he was talking about. I asked,"How many books are there?" He shrugged and said,"About 10, but who's counting? You can read right?" I said,"Ummm...yeah this is like my first time ever reading. So yeah." Nick just laughed and said,"Well I'm suprised, everyobdy reads." I retorted,"I don't." Someone came over and said,"That's a shame, books can teach you a lot of things." Me and Nick looked up to see a woman around her 20s or 30s smiling a friendly smile. She said,"I see you are researching the Marie case, what for?" I looked at Nick seeing if I should say what is going on or lie, he nodded his head not to and I was kind of thankful. I don't need anymore people knowing what's happening. I said,"Umm....I heard about it when I first moved here and decided to take a look at it." The woman said,"You must be the new girl that just came in town! My son talked about you!" I laughed and Nick groaned,"Mom, stop." She said,"Alright well I better get back to work. Well, I am Ms. Jackson, you can call me Ellie and you are always welcome to my library." I smiled at her and said,"Thank you so much." She nodded and said,"Have a good day and Nick make sure to do your laundry." Nick groaned,"Mom!" She laughed and left back to her office. I laughed and said,"She's a nice mom." Nick retorted,"More like a pain in the a-" Ms. Jackson stepped out and looked at Nick who mouthed,"Sorry." She nodded and went back in. He sighed and said,"Well we better check out these books."
We checked the books out and Nick said,"If you need more help here's my card." He took a card out of a pile of other cards and placed it on the pile of my books. I smiled and said,"Thanks. Tell your mom I said thanks again." He nodded and said,"Will do, bye." I nodded and left. When I got home my dad was outside wearing earmuffs while cutting the grass. He saw me and turned it off. I walked up to him and said,"Dad, I know the lawnmower is loud but it's not that loud." He yelled,"What?!" I sighed and yelled,"The lawnmower isn't that loud!" He yelled again,"What?!" I sighed and took off the earmuffs and his ears were red as ever. I gasped and he said,"I know I know but I did nothing this time." I asked,"What happened?!" He said,"I was upstairs putting my laundry in my room then suddenly in the hallway I heard this wail that was so loud you could probably hear it a few miles away! The whole house started rumbling like an earthquake then suddenly it stopped. I asked if others felt what I felt but they heard nothing and felt nothing. Just me.." Now I knew what Nick ment by wail right through the rooftop. I sighed and said,"It's nothing I hope your ears will get better." If I told him...he wouldn't believe me.
We got inside and my dad noticed the pile of books I was carrying. He asked,"What did you get over there?" I said,"Umm...history books like presidents and stuff." He said,"Oh why." Oh man, I can't lie to my dad, I am so bad at lying to him but I felt kind of confident and said,"Just to remember some facts before school ya' know." He nodded and said,"Oh wow. This is a change. First, you never read books now you are. Second, you never were prepared for school, now you are! What next?! You thinking about going to harvard!" I sighed and said,"Yeah I know, big change but it's still the same me." I walked backwards and ran into something hard and tall. I turned to see that mysterious man who saved my dad from crows. My dad said,"Oh yeah, I called Bert to see if he could check out the problem. He said we're fine completely cool." Bert glared at me then said to my dad,"Yeah everything checks out fine, maybe it's that ghost everyone talks about." My dad asked,"What story?" Bert said,"The story of the ghost of the baby Annabelle, people say you can hear her wail in this house upstairs. Investigators would come at night and be terrified to hear it and feel the rumbling of the house that they ran out with all their equipment still there.
"They picked it up the next day and found a tape of a silhouette of a skirt walk across the floor to the right then a faded baby crawling to the left. People say that's Annabelle and Maria trying to find each other to be a family again." My dad laughed and said,"Maybe so, well anyways, thanks for your help." Bert nodded and said,"No problem, well I better get going got to get more deer for dinner." Bert started walking then my dad said,"Why don't you stay for dinner?" I yelled,"No!" My dad looked at me and asked,"What?" I stammered,"I mean...umm....you...you are welcome for dinner." My dad nodded and said,"Yeah everyone is always welcome." Bert said,"Sure! I think the game is supposed to be on right now. Lakers against the Titans." My dad said,"Right! Lea you can go upstairs and do your little research." I nodded and ran upstairs with my books before anyone could say anything else.
Man what was I going to do?! My life is already stressful I don't need some smelly, mysterious man around my house! Oh well, I can't think about that, I have to think about Maria and her baby.
We checked the books out and Nick said,"If you need more help here's my card." He took a card out of a pile of other cards and placed it on the pile of my books. I smiled and said,"Thanks. Tell your mom I said thanks again." He nodded and said,"Will do, bye." I nodded and left. When I got home my dad was outside wearing earmuffs while cutting the grass. He saw me and turned it off.

Chap.3
"Hey kiddo, what are you doing up early?", my dad asked as he came down the stairs. While I was making eggs, I said,"I'm gonna take another round at the town, see the school head to the library..." My dad stopped and asked,"The library?" I nodded and said,"Yeah what's wrong with the library?" He laughed,"You never go to the library. You don't even like reading!" I said,"Well, it's not too late for a new start." He sighed,"That's true. So what are you going to the library for?" I put my dad's eggs on a plate and said,"Just eat and I'll see you later. Bye dad." I walked out and while I was heading to my car, I saw a little glow on the ground near my car. I kneeled down and saw the same locket I saw in the basement yesterday. Except when I opened it, there was no picture of the man anymore just the woman. Maybe someone can help me figure out who she is with a little help with this.
I made it to the library and boy was it big, like so big it kind of looked like a high school. On the inside, it looked even BIGGER! Bunch of shelves everywhere, books from fiction to non-fiction to history to maps. There was even a lounge in the middle full of lounging chairs and tables! You could probably even fit a StarBucks in here. Anyways, I made it to the front desk of the library and said,"Hi, I was wondering if I could find out some information of previous residents living in this town." A guy was looking through papers and said while still checking papers,"Sorry ma'am, that is private stuff." His voice sounded familiar and I said,"That's a shame, I really need to find out about this woman." He sighed and looked up then that's when I recognized him. The guy from the store! He smiled then said,"Hi...umm...well this is a suprise." I said,"Yeah...so what are you doing here?" He shrugged and said,"I come here to help my mom with work. By the way, I never gave you my name it's Nick" I looked around, taking in everything I saw then said,"I'm Lea. So... can you help me with this woman?" He looked unsure and said,"Well...okay. What does she look like?" I said,"Okay she has blonde hair, usually in a bun. A long-sleeve shirt with a collar with a cresent in the middle, I guess clipping the collar together. Her skirt, her skirt, is long, almost long to the floor. It is red velvet and her boots are black and they are kind of pointed but not really." Nick looked at me suspiciously and kind of amazed. He said,"Show me a picture." I took out the locket I found and opened it, inside was the picture of the woman still inside. Nick took it then looked at me suprised. I asked,"What is it?" He stammered,"This woman...This woman is Marie Hatching. She died in 1984. She was a teacher at age 26, then she met this man we never knew who he really was. All we heard was he was probably western, but they were happy with each other. Soon, they had a baby, they named it Annabelle and she wail right through the rooftop. It became a complaint when Marie went to church with Annabelle. Soon Marie's boyfriend couldn't take so much noise, he told her to either adopt her or make her be more quiet.
"Marie told him she would keep the baby but train it to be more quiet. But a few days after of atempting, her boyfriend went on a trip for work. Then Annabelle went missing, Marie began telling people to begin helping her find Annabelle. Marie's boyfriend came home a few days later and found a sad, Marie grieving for her might-be-dead baby daughter. Then her boyfriend went mad and kicked her out because she wouldn't let it go. Marie spent days searching then one day....a few kids were playing in the forest and saw a shoe sticking out. They wanted to use it for fun and when they took it, they noticed a foot being in the shoe. The boys told their moms, their moms told the police then the police found Marie's dead body in the dirt.
"They found knife wounds in the stomach, but there was no evidence of who might of killed her. The police suspected that the boyfriend might have something to do with it but they could never find him. Some say that he might of killed Marie, some say he told someone to kill her for him no one ever found out. Just rumors and total possibilities."
I just stood there, trying to take this all in. Marie....is a ghost.... Nick asked,"Lea, Lea you there?" I stammered,"Umm....I'm....here. But...how..." Nick said,"I know it's hard to take this all in. So why all of a sudden you've taken an interest on her?" I said,"I...I have been seeing her a few nights now.... She's looking for her baby." Nick leaned closer and asked,"Wait what? How do you see her?" I said,"My dad is a ghost hunter, he sees ghosts in his mind. Somehow for some reason, I can only see them through my eyes." He said,"Oh, so what are you going to do about Marie?" I sighed and said,"I don't know, but I want to find out more about her. Can you help me?" Nick smiled and said,"Sure." I knew someone would come around to helping me.
I made it to the library and boy was it big, like so big it kind of looked like a high school. On the inside, it looked even BIGGER!

Chap.2
"So did you have a new dream about that lady Lea?", my dad asked. I said,"Haha, very funny dad." He didn't understand, no one ever does. He said,"I'm just kidding kido, so you excited for your new school soon?" I shrugged and said,"I don't know, high school never changes dad so I wouldn't know." He laughed and said,"True, true. Hey, the flowers outside are dying maybe you can get some new planting seeds and planting supplies at the store." I said,"Sure, I want to take a look at the rest of the town anyway." I said,"Okay bye dad!" He said,"See you kiddo!" I waved and went to my car. It was kind of windy out, with leaves flying all over the place, I looked at the forest in front of my house and I swear I saw a bright light. I let it go thinking maybe it's a car.
This town was kind of like a small town of Tennessee, people walking around barbequing outside having fun. Teens hanging out at resturants and kids having fun at the park. It seemed peaceful, friendly, and fun! I made it to the store and it looked kind of old, the sign with only a few letters lit up, it was pretty small, and once I got inside, it smelled like one of those old stores. I am probably being vague but you would probably know what I mean if you walked into an old grocery store.
Once I bought, all of the stuff I needed to get I came to the check out section and saw a boy with brunette hair up to his ears, brown eyes, and a small smile. He smiled and said,"Hi did you find everything you needed today?" I said,"Yep." He laughed,"Good. Hey, are you the new girl in town?" While he was scanning, I blinked in confusion then asked,"How did you know?" He smiled and said,"Nothing is hidden in this town. Not even your wallet..." I laughed and said,"I'll keep that in mind." He laughed and said,"Well, I hope you enjoy it here in Colorado. It's very nice here." I sighed."I can tell. Everybody is outside, enjoying life." He said,"That's Colorado alright. Well that will be $10.99" I gave him the money and he said,"Thank you. Have a nice day." I smiled and said,"Thanks." I grabbed my stuff and left. Before I left he yelled,"Enjoy life!" I laughed and turned back then said,"I will, enjoy life your self too." He nodded and said,"Will do bye." I laughed,"Bye." I left and went to my car. I couldn't stop smiling on the way back home, I don't know why. I usually don't smile this much.
I got home and I saw my dad talking to that strange man we saw last night. I got out of my car and ran to them. I asked,"What's going on?" My dad turned to me and said,"This man saved me from being attacked by a couple crows!" I kept looking suspiciously at the man, and said,"Oh. Are you okay?" He said,"Yeah I'm fine. A couple scratches but I'm fine." I said,"Good. So why were you getting attacked by crows?" He said,"I was eating some bread, took it with me to go get mail and that's when they attacked me." I sighed and said,"Dad! What did I tell you about that?!" He sighed in ashame and said,"I know! I know! Stupid I know but you know me, never thinking." I sighed and turned to look at the man and he was gone, strange. Dad asked,"Where did that man go?" I shrugged and said,"I don't know he was there now he is gone." He said,"Well, anyways, let's head inside so we can put more of the furniture up." I sighed, there is never work to be done we are always up and doing something. That's just the way work.
After all the furniture was all together, I began planting flowers outside. While I was planting I heard something roam in the bushes. I looked up and saw nothing, I yelled,"Hello? Anyone there?" No response, so I just went back to my work then I heard it again. I was getting annoyed, I stood up and yelled,"Okay whoever that is they better come out because I am getting annoyed!" I kept looking and saw a rabbit bounce out of the bushes. I sighed in relief and I went back to my work. Suddenly I heard a sound of a door opening and looked back at the house then saw one of the doors to the basement open. What should I do? Go in or stay out? I didn't know what to do, I just went inside. The basement was full of old furniture, it was very dusty. I saw old pictures of a family then I saw a picture of her...The woman I saw last night, her blonde hair, her hair into a bun, and her face looked so familiar....I looked at it closely then I saw someones' reflection in the glass of the picture. I gasped and stood up. It was my dad phew! He said,"Oh sorry, didn't mean to scare you." I sighed in relief and said,"Sorry I just...the door opened and I...checked out what's under here." He said,"Well, it's full of old stuff. I might sell it to an antique store. Might get enough of money off this stuff." I yelled,"NO!" My dad looked at me confused then I stammered,"Umm...I mean...well, maybe this stuff belongs to someone and they would hate for someone to buy them." My dad just laughed and said,"Okay then see you upstairs kiddo." I smiled and said,"See you." He walked upstairs and I was alone again. I looked at the picture of the woman I saw last night. I said to myself,"Who are you? No one might not tell me but I'll find out soon." I heard something fall and saw a locket, I picked it up and opened it. There was the woman and a man that looked slightly familiar I just can't recall.... I heard my dad yell,"Lea! There's dinner!" I sighed in annoyance and yelled,"Coming dad!" I ran out and went to eat dinner. Why is this woman haunting me?
After eating and watching a football game, I went to bed. I layed in bed, pretending to sleep then I heard a woman's voice whisper,"Lea." I sat up and saw the woman from last night, she was kneeling near my bed. She said,"Please help me." I said,"You answer me a couple questions." She nodded and I asked,"Who are you? Why you here? Why me?" She sighed in sadness and looked down. She stood up and began leaving my room. I whispered,"You can't leave! You have to answer my questions!" She looked back at me then opened the door and left. The door closed then I sighed in frustration and fell back in my bed. Why doesn't anybody listen to me? If she won't help me, I'll just find out myself. I am going to choice number 2, a place where you can find any kind of information you want. The library.

Chap.1-The Immortal In Me..
Hi, I'm Lea Hosenberg. I am 17, my mom died a few days after my 16th birthday. Me and my dad griefed for months then we decided to move to Colorado, my birth place before we moved away when I was 6 so my dad could do his ghost hunting job in Pennsylvania. Now we're back, our old house was too old and got torn down so we had to live in a different home. It was cool, it had a beautiful garden in the back. I felt like I was the little girl in Secret Garden when I first walked through there. It felt nice and mysterious...
"How do you like the house?", my dad asked. I shrugged and said,"So, so." He looked at me like he knew I was lying and I laughed then said,"It's really cool, I love the garden." He said,"Maybe you can plant your own plants." I said,"Yeah and I can hang out there when I feel like I need to relax." He said,"There's the spirit! I'm gonna grab some more boxes outside, stay in the house. I soluted and said,"Yes sir." He smiled and went outside. I unpacked a box full of pictures for my room and found the picture of mom. I miss you so much mom, I wish you could see me now...
Suddenly, a window opened and wind blew in. I ran to it and closed the window, I heard a crash and mom's picture fell. I yelled,"No!" I picked it up and saw cracks from the fall in it. Dad came in and asked,"What happened?" I said,"Nothing. Just...a picture fell." He said,"Oh okay here since you are such a klutz why don't you just clean off that window. It is dirty I can barely see the veiw." I sighed and said,"You give me headaches." He said,"That's my job." I laughed and cleaned the window, I saw a man standing a few yards away from the house, it seemed like he was watching us. He saw me eye-to-eye then left, I said,"That's wierd." Dad came over and asked,"What?" I said,"I swear I saw a man standing over there." Dad looked and said,"Nah, you're just tired. I said,"Yeah..yeah you're probably right." He patted my shoulder and left to unpack the rest of the stuff.
After we got done unpacking we ate and headed off to bed. That first night, that first night was one of the scariest nights of my life. I was dreaming then heard someone walking around. I got up and looked around the hall then went downstairs. I grabbed the gun just in case, and saw nobody around. I sighed then felt someone tap my shoulder, I turned to see a blonde woman with a old style of clothes. She was wearing a long red skirt, black boots, a white shirt with a collar that had a cresent on it. She asked,"Can you please help me find my baby?" I said,"Okay I'll help you." She smiled and said,"Thank you." She picked up her skirt and walked out the front door, I followed her but when I turned to see if my dad might come down, she was gone. I yelled,"Are you there?! Hello!" I felt someone tap and I sighed in relief that she was still here but when I looked it was the man I saw through the window. He looked down at me in no expression but he made it seem threatening. I screamed and my dad instantly ran out then asked,"What's going on?" The man turned away from me to my dad and said,"I was just hunting out for deer and saw your daughter roaming around the forest alone. Which is not good cause there is always bad things." My dad said,"Oh thank you so much. Lea come inside." I nodded and the man asked,"Did you happen to see anyone that has blonde hair around here?" This guys was suspicous I couldn't take my chances, I had to lie to save this woman from this...scary, mysterious man. I said,"No I didn't." He nodded and said,"Thank you. Have a good night." My dad nodded and asked,"Lea, what were you doing outside alone?" I said,"I...I....I saw this woman in the house, she was looking for something...her baby then when I followed her to help her find it she disappeared!" My dad just laughed, he didn't believe me, no one believes me. He said,"Lea, I think you were sleep walking. Good thing that man found you, you would've landed in California by now." I sighed and said,"Yeah good thing." My dad turned his head to the side and asked,"Anything wrong sweetie?" I said,"No...I'm just tired." He said,"Let's go to bed."
Man, my own dad never believes me. Only my friends believe me. My dad, he is a ghost hunter but he doesn't believe stuff easily. You have to have major proof before proving main points of why places are haunted. Will anyone ever believe me?
"How do you like the house?", my dad asked. I shrugged and said,"So, so." He looked at me like he knew I was lying and I laughed then said,"It's really cool, I love the garden." He said,"Maybe you can plant your own plants." I said,"Yeah and I can hang out there when I feel like I need to relax." He said,"There's the spirit!

Hi, I'm Lea Hosenberg. I am 17, my mom died a few days after my 16th birthday. Me and my dad griefed for months then we decided to move to Colorado, my birth place before we moved away when I 6 for my dad to do his ghost hunting job in Pennsylvania. Now we're back, our old house was too old and got torn down so we had to live in a different home. It was cool, it had a beautiful garden in the back. I felt like I was the little girl in Secret Garden when I first walked through there.....
When I first thought of this, I was like it seemed like any other ghost movie but I decided to add a little more twist to it. Some romance, betrayal, thriller, and a little violence. Well, peace and enjoy and you can say it's like The Unvited but it's gonna be different.
