Here I am lying in bed .I have to share a room with Tori unfortunately. Derek and Simon share a room too. I look over at Tori , She lies sound asleep with no worries whatsoever; unlike me .I have to live with the fear of shoving some spirit back into their rotting corpse.

I felt a bit weird when Andrew brought us here, the feeling I got when I went into the abandoned house with the dead homeless guy. I was almost certain that someone had died here.

I gave up trying to go to sleep so I grabbed sweater that Derek bought me and decided to go to the bathroom

I really needed to go, I was too afraid though. I finally got the guts to get up and leave

I opened the door .I made a loud creak but luckily no one woke up

I tip-toed down the hall and found the bathroom I turned on the light and went in

While I was washing my hands I looked in the mirror and sighed, the dye was still in my hair

I remembered how pissed I got at Derek when he got me the color black, felt really bad now, he didn't do it on purpose I wonder how bad he felt .I really should apologise

.

I walked out feeling relieved in a way. I tripped on a plank of loose wood and I braced myself for the fall when a big hand grabbed me by the shoulder .it was Derek

"careful" he grunted. "t- t- thanks" I stuttered .i balanced myself and realized that Derek was in his boxer and had pinpricks of sweat across his head. "are you changing" I finally asked after the awkward moment of silence.

"What no I'm fine Chloe" he said .I looked up at him and I wasn't convinced "Derek don't hid things from me ok, your sweating" I said rather worried. "Chloe" he gave me a reassuring look "I'm fine, I was really hungry and I couldn't sleep so I decided to get up" he replied. "How come your up?" he asked. I told him I couldn't sleep.

We went downstairs and found a room with a huge TV Derek grabbed some food and we sat down .we started talking about Italian over Mexican "Mexican food is all so spicy Italy is where the food is at" I said "what wrong with spicy food?" Derek asked before I could reply I saw something in the corner "what's that" I thought.i went closer and herd was a little girl chatting to her little doll .the girl turned around, oh my god that poor child, she was bruised and battered and her eye was bleeding .she vanished and reappeared beside Derek "no don't touch him"I shouted the girl giggled and left.

"Chloe, Chloe what's wrong" Derek asked franticly I threw my arms around his neck and I started bawling my eyes out .i didn't care what he thought I just was petrified and needed someone.

"Calm down Chloe it will be ok" he said stroking my head . "it was horrible Derek" I shrieked . "shhh its ok I'm here calm down okay" he whispered .who knew Derek was such a good friend, he calmed me down and I explained to him what happened which made me cry again.

"okay wait here Chloe I will get a blanket and a shirt I will be back in a minute" he said .Derek came back with a big green blanket .he told me to go to sleep and he will leave as soon as I fell asleep . I was too tired to object. I rested my head on his shoulder while he stroked my head "its ok I'm here Chloe". Derek reminded me of my dad, he was so caring

I fell asleep within ten seconds . and I woke up to the sounds of giggles

"aww they're so cute ,Alice take a picture quick" said one girl "way ahead of you" Alice said. I lifted my head and saw two girl about 19, one was a brunette and the other had ginger hair.
