I do not own 13 Ghosts. I only own Tiffani and Lexi.

Story Start

"So where are we going again?" Tiffani questioned with a little apprehension as Lexi drove them down a road in the middle of nowhere.

"My mom told me of this great job we could do for our ghost hunting group. I know I was free to go, but none of the other members was available. I also knew that you would go with me with no questions asked," Lexi started to explain, but she still just got a curious look from her friend.

"So what exactly are we supposed to do for this ghost hunter job?" Tiffani asked while looking out the window at the rural and dark surroundings because of the time of day it was.

"Well the information that my mom got from the man is that we are to arrive at this house, explore the house, and observe any ghosts that we see. However, a family is going to be here looking at the house for future living there so we will have to be on our best behavior," Lexi continued while staring at her friend meaningfully.

"You say that as if I always get us in trouble," Tiffani said coyly before smirking. "Fine, I'll try to behave, but I make no promises," she finished with a wink.

The girls watched anxiously as they pulled up to a large house at the designated address. Gasps left them when they saw the entire house was made of glass. It had a beautiful but eerie feel to it. They scrambled out of the car with their bag of equipment in hand, as they stared at the amazing structure.

"Don't break anything," Lexi immediately hissed as she saw Tiffani already making her way towards the house.

"I won't, or at least I will try not to, but we have bigger issues. We don't have a key to this place and the door is not open unless this is an illusion," Tiffani yelled and she talked normally as soon as Lexi joined her by the front door.

"I wasn't given a key. I guess we might have to wait for that family that is going to be here tonight as well," Lexi said and just as she finished the sound of the gravel moving distracted them. They looked to the side to see a car drive up with a man wearing a bright orange work suit. They stood close to each other with the bags of equipment between the two of them as the stranger exited his car.

He was tall with short light brown hair. The bright work suit was not helping him at all, but it was blinding the two women. He flashing his flashlight in their faces did not make the situation better.

"What are you two doing here?" the man yelled with a slight stutter in his voice from nerves.

"We were called to come here and observe some ghosts," Lexi answered as she tried to stay focused since she thought the guy was kind of cute as she walked closer to them.

"What ghosts?" the man squeaked and the girls gave him a strange look.

"I don't know, whatever ghosts are inside this house. We don't have a key so we haven't been able to get inside and investigate," Tiffani said before turning her back to the guy as she watched two more cars drive towards the house. "Must be the family," she said aloud.

A family exited one car while a blonde haired man in a suit exited out of the other car. She sneered at the leery grin the suit man gave her. she smiled at the family though when they noticed her.

"Hi, I'm Tiffani. My friend Lexi and I were sent here for a small investigation from the original owner. Is it all right if we join you in your new home?" she asked the head of the family politely.

"Investigate what?" the father questioned as the group approached the front of the house and also Lexi and the orange suit man.

"Just what kind of spirits may be in the house, the future owner said there were some kind of spirits in there," Tiffani explained as calmly as she could so she would not bother the man.

"Sure, I guess. I don't believe in ghosts, but as long as you two don't bother anything then I don't care," the man said before the man in the suit and the man in the work suit started arguing.

"Will you two stop acting like children?" Lexi snapped growing tired of the bickering.

"Well said," one of the women from the family said to Lexi, who smiled at her with a shrug.

"Bobby, be careful," the father said to his son, who stuck the key into the door and turned it. The group outside the door jumped or looked in surprise as the key disappeared into the door. Strange sounds of the house started as the glass panes of the door slid to the side. The group cautiously walked into the house even though Lexi and Tiffani were excited to check out if there were in fact any ghosts here. The house was strange enough to have some.

"Well in we go," Tiffani muttered as the group cautiously entered the house except for the blonde haired man, who walked into the house with an air of authority.

"Latin," Lexi whispered the deeper they walked into the house and spotted the gold writing on the walls and floors. She looked up and even saw with shock that there was Latin phrases written on the ceiling. "This might not be a ghost investigation we want to deal with," she whispered to Tiffani or so she thought. She looked around to see her friend nowhere in sight. "Where did she disappear to now?" she grumbled before walking away from the family and the two men in suits. "Time to go Tiffani hunting," she thought as she looked through the rooms on the main floor.

"These are awesome! Forget the ghost hunt, I'm practicing sword fighting all night," Tiffani cheered as she found the collection of Samurai swords and the Samurai armor.

"Those aren't safe for children," Lexi's voiced made her friend pout.

"But I'm not a kid, so I can totally use the swords to fight invisible enemies," Tiffani said dramatically reaching out to grab one of the swords, but the death glare from Lexi made her pause. "Fine, ruin my fun, why don't you?" she said before walking towards the bags of equipment, which she had set down in one corner of the room. "Should we start the investigation?" she questioned while opening the bag.

"Sounds good to me," Lexi replied opening her own bag of equipment. The girls grabbed their cameras, recorders, and EMF meters. After making sure the family was not going to follow them, the girls set off to the rooms on the main floor. They had seen the man in the business suit go down into the basement so they were not going to go there first.

"Which room first?" Tiffani muttered as she took pictures of random areas they walked past.

"This one," Lexi said as they entered a room meant for the young boy in the family. Action figures and model cars lined the shelves in the room. The EMF meter was not spiking much in the room, but two strange clear glasses made the girls pause. "What are these for?" Lexi questioned as she and Tiffani picked up the glasses.

"I don't know, but they are neat. I vote on wearing these the rest of the time," Tiffani cheered with a big grin.

"I don't," Lexi said as she set her glasses back on the shelf where she found them. "Are you seriously going to wear those the entire night?" she asked her friend.

"Of course, they make me look sexy," Tiffani said and tried but failed to do a sexy pose in the doorway.

"Or they make you look like you have more mental issues than you already do," Lexi said with a roll of her eyes but her voice was good natured.

"That's probably true, even more so of a reason to wear them. I enjoy making people think I'm insane. It keeps them on their toes around me," Tiffani said with a smirk before jumping towards Lexi to hug her friend. The house was shifting again and the noise surprised her.

"Now what?" Lexi whispered as the girls looked around them waiting for the house to become silent again.
