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!
