Chapter one: The Old Thompson House
(Sammy's POV)
I looked up at the big, gray house and shivered. It was the old Thompson house. Many believe that the last family who lived there, Mr. and Mrs. Thompson and their too children Jacob and Alice, had a big dinner party and all the guests mysteriously disappeared, never to be see again. The guests included the mayor, his wife and two children, the head police officer and his family, several important, upstanding lawyers, and many other well know, and highly respected people.
Every one thinks that they murdered them and then committed suicide to cover up what they had done but that their souls still haunt that house. So everyone who knows the story is too afraid to go near it.
I looked up at the house again and stared as I saw someone standing at one of the windows on what looked like the third floor. It looked like a woman in an old-fashion crimson dress. I blinked and she was gone.
"What was th-" I said then shook her head. Thought began tumbling through my mind.
"No it couldn't be. There's no such thing as ghosts."
"But what if there are?! What if the souls of the Thompson family are still in there?!"
"No it couldn't be!"
"But what if it is?!"
"There's only one thing I can do…"
"I have to get in that house!" I said. Maybe I can talk Marissa and the gang into coming with me. I nodded and went home.
At lunch the next day I brought up the subject as Marissa and I were sitting down at a table with Danny, Billy, Dot, Holly, and Casey.
"So…" I said trying to use the best words to state my case. "Marissa you know that old Thompson house?"
"Yeah." she said frowning slightly. "What about it?"
"I saw someone in there." I said. Marissa stared at her, fear showing in her eyes. She is so superstitious!
"So I was thinking-"
"No, Sammy! I'm not going in there with you! So don't even think about it!" Marissa shrieked, interrupting me.
"Fine!" I said and turned away from Marissa. "So, anyone else want to come?"
"I'll go." Holly said.
"Me too." Dot said. I looked over at the boys.
"Don't go Sammy…" Casey begged his chocolaty-brown eyes intense with worry.
"Why?" I asked defensively.
"What if something happens to you?!" Casey asked, raising his voice.
"Why don't you go with her so you can protect her?!" Billy teased.
"Shut up!" Casey snapped. Billy whistled silently at Casey's outburst and looked away.
"I'm still going!" I said to Casey and jerked my chin up, daring him.
"Don't worry Sammy, I'll go with you and I bet Danny will too." Billy said.
"Sure I'll go, if Marissa will come." Danny said and looked over at Marissa. She got dreamy eyed and stared at Danny. Holly snapped her fingers in front on Marissa's eyes. She blinked.
"I'll go." She said.
"Cool." I said and smiled.
"Sammy…" Casey pleaded. "Don't…" I didn't look at him.
"All we need to do now is plan when we want to go." I said. "I think we should go…mmm…tomorrow, Saturday night, after dark. What do you guys think?"
"Sounds good to me." Holly said and everyone else agreed.
"Erg! You're impossible!!" Casey exploded and slammed out of the cafeteria.
"Whoa…" Billy said.
"What was that about?" I asked and stared at the door. Marissa looked at Dot, who nodded. Then they both grabbed me and pulled me away from the table.
"Dot! Marissa! What are you doing?!" I demanded. Everyone on the cafeteria was staring at us. They shoved me out into the hall way.
"Fix it!" they said together and pulled the door shut. I crossed my arms then sighed and looked up the hall. Casey was leaning against his locker. I hesitantly walked over to him.
"Hey..." I said and looked into his eyes.
"Hey." Casey said in an emotionless voice. Silence…
"Why do you want to go?" Casey finally asked and tried to make eye contact with me. I looked away and didn't answer. "Damn it, Sammy, you're so stubborn!" Casey let out his breath and watched me.
"If you're so set on going…then I'm going with you, just in case." Casey said.
"Oh, no you don't have to really. I can ta-" Casey put a finger to my lips.
"I can't let anything happen to you." He whispered and stroked my cheek with his thumb. I stared into his eyes. Then the bell rang.
"Shoot, I have to go." I said and hurried away but I could feel his eyes on my back, watching me. The image of him staring down at me, his eyes filled with so much emotion, was continuously popping up in my mind all day. But what haunted me the most was the last thing he said.
"I can't let anything happen to you…
