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?
