Chapter 1
It was a particularly cool evening, I was strolling through my art gallery when there was some strange noises coming from the mansion. I went to investigate and heard the unmistakable laugh of a ghost. They had returned to the mansion once again. I hopped with excitement. Finally some action! Ah, but then again I am way too old for ghost hunting. It's time I hired some youngsters to take care of them...
Standing outside my laboratory I looked down the drive. Up the hill came a girl who looked to be maybe eleven or twelve with long black hair and bright blue eyes. She walked beside a boy who also had black hair and blue eyes; most likely twins. Behind them walked a girl with curly brown hair, and blue eyes. She seemed to be around eleven or ten. Beside her was a girl much taller with coal black hair and purple eyes. She was around fourteen years old it seemed. A bit behind them an older girl with strawberry blonde hair, and grey blue eyes walked with a boy who also had blonde hair and green eyes.
"So what does this Professor Egaf want with us anyway?" Ash asked his sister, Luna.
"It's Proffessor E. Gadd, idiot." Luna hit him upside the head.
"Hey! That's just mean Luna." Ash pouted.
"Does it look like I care?!" Luna yelled at him.
"Awe Luna, don't be such a grump! Ashy was just asking a question." said Olivia patting Ash's head. Swatting at Olivia's hand, Ash turned on her, "Don't touch me."
"Sorry, I can't help it! You're just so cute!" Olivia said smiling.
Ash glared at Olivia, "Shunnnnnnnn."
Luna burst out laughing. She teased him, "Awww, little Ashy has a crush."
"He does? Who is it?" asked Ella, walking beside them.
"Ol-iv-i-a!" with each syllable Luna poked Ash in the stomach. Ash's face turned bright red, "Shut up Lunella!" At that last part Ash earned a punch in the stomach from a very pissed off Luna.
"Knock it off you two. You're behaving like a bunch of children." Scarlett, the oldest out of all of them, scolded.
"We are children. You're just a bad influence on us Scarlett." Ash and Luna said in unison.
"Ash did have a good question earlier, what does this professor guy want?" asked Everette, who had been quietly listening the whole time.
Scarlett sighed, "We've been over this ten times. Professor E. Gadd wants us to take care of an extermination in a mansion."
"What are we extermilating?" asked Ella.
"Zombies!" Luna said, with a flashlight held up to her face.
"Where did you get that Luna?" Ash asked, eyeing the flashlight with red speckles on it. It seemed pretty suspicious to him.
"Oh, on the ground." Luna shrugged.
"Where on the ground?" Scarlett asked.
"By that tomb stone in the graveyard." Luna replied.
"Hello. Glad to see you youngsters made it." Professor E. Gadd waved, walking behind Luna, causing her to scream.
"Z-ZOMBIE!" screamed Ella.
"That's not very nice thing to say Ella. Just because he's old doesn't mean that he's a Zombie!" Olivia chided, hugging her.
"Hello Professor E. Gadd. I'm Scarlett. That's Everette, Ash, Olivia, Luna, and Ella." Scarlett introduced herself and the rest of them.
"What exactly do you want us to do?" asked Everette, who still didn't completely understand what they were there to do.
"Well, I hired you six to take care of those darn ghosts in the mansion. They came back yesterday and I'm too old to take care of them myself." said E. Gadd with a sniff.
"How are we going to get rid of them?" asked Olivia, who was still hugging Ella.
"By using my latest invention, the Polturgust 5000. It's smaller than the Poltergust 3000 so it's easier to carry around." said E. Gadd enthusiastically.
"What's a polturgust?" asked Luna tilting her head to the side in confusion.
"Well, the Polturgust 5000 is a super vacuum designed to scoop up ghosts." he explained.
"What happenes to the ghost afterwards?" asked Ella.
"They get turned into paintings for my gallery."
"Oh, but aren't ghosts invisible?" Ash asked.
"Yes, but with the Ghost Portificationizer we can make them visible and press them so they can be made into paintings,"
After a few more hours of explaining, Professor E. Gadd gave the kids all the equipment they would need and watched them enter the mansion. He chuckled to himself, this would be fun.
The mansion was three stories, painted a seaweed green. Or at least, it seemed like it was painted that color. The window had cobwebs on them, some didn't have any glass in them. The mansion looked as if it were leaning forward, and would fall on you at any moment. The bare, dark willow trees with their bony sharp branches made it more creepy. To make matters worse, it looked as though a storm was approaching, the way the dark grey clouds were covering up the full moon.
Inside the Mansion it was pitch black and smelled of rotting wood. There was the sound of scurrying across the floor and the flap of wings above. The house groaned. As soon as the six were inside the door behind them shut with a creepy creek. They all failed to notice this. They turned on their flashlights and heard the evil laughs of the ghosts.
"Where should we look first?" Olivia asked nervously.
"Lets check upstairs.." suggested Everette.
Luna, Ash, Ella, Everette, and Olivia started walking up the stairs. Meanwhile Scarlett was still on the main floor, and had walked under a chandelier. The chandelier dropped, nearly crushing Scarlett. Fortunately she managed to move away just in time; they all stood in shock.
"Were all gonna die!" screamed Luna clinging to her brother.
"Get the hell off me!" yelled Ash. Luna just clung tighter, making him fall down on the stairs.
"Well, now we know not to go under the chandelier again." Scarlett said hurrying to the staircase.
"Now what should we do? Turn all the knobs to see if any of these doors are locked?" asked Olivia.
"Sure I guess." Ash tried opening the double doors behind the balcony. The door handle squeaked but it wouldn't open. There was a few moments of silence when suddenly they heard something clatter to the floor downstairs.
"Scarlett's the oldest, she should go see what it was." said Ella attempting to push Scarlett back down the stairs.
"I'll do it!" Luna volunteered, already running downstairs. She screamed, "AH! It's a ghost! Oh wait, nevermind. It left."
"Did it leave anything behind?" asked Everette.
"No. Oh look," Luna bent down and picked something up. "a key." She brought the key back up to the others, and tested it on the locked doors. With a creepy creek they opened leading into the parlour. It was dark, except for a few dim candles. Above a small cabinet was a picture of a man. On either side of the painting was a candelabra with bright purple flames. As they all entered the room the doors shut. They heard what sounded like clinking metal behind them. They looked and saw that branches had grown on the doors. There was no escaping.
"Oh look! Candles! we have to blow them out and make a wish!" said Ella running over and preparing to blow them out, despite their dilemma of being locked in the room. Before anyone could stop her she blew on the candles. That's when the real trouble started.
"Who blew out my candles?!" the painting spoke. "You Mrs. Brown hair?" he looked disapprovingly at Ella.
"Dark rooms are dangerous here. Yesss." they all turned and saw a painting of a woman speak.
"Are you afraid of the dark, little girl?" asked another painting.
"They love the dark. They'll be here any moment." said a painting of a man.
The first painting spoke, "Here they are now." The paintings all laughed snidely, their laughs disappeared as two bright orange ghosts appeared out of nowhere scaring Luna. The ghosts laughed at her and began to surround her.
"Everette! Ash! Save me!" Luna screamed.
Scarlett ran towards the ghosts and pulled out the Poltergust 5000 to suck them up. The moment they were gone two ghosts appeared behind Everette. He, with his very girly scream, shined his flashlight on the ghosts, making them disappear, he moved closer to Scarlett.
Scarlett rolled her eyes, "Wow. You sure are 'manly' Everette."
"I'm still manly! they just...caught me off guard..." said Everette embarrassed
"Sure. Whatever you say Lady Everette." Luna teased him.
Everette glared at Luna, "Shut up".
"My apologies your majesty." said Luna bowing to him.
"This is coming from the girl who was screaming at me to save her a few moments ago." said Everette in an attempt of a good comeback.
"Says the guy with a woman scream." Luna countered.
"I could use a little help here!" Scarlett shouted as a ghost punched her in the gut, laughing.
All of a sudden Olivia and Ella ran out from under the table screaming, a ghost chasing behind them.
"Use that mini sucking thingy that whats-his-face gave you!" Ella urged, hiding behind Olivia.
Olivia pulled out her Polturgust 5000 and flicked the switch, sucking the ghost up.
"YAY!" said Ella jumping up and down, clapping, and then instantly screaming hearing the laugh of another ghost.
"Uh, hello? Remember me? Yeah, I'm just getting attacked by three ghosts now. Nothing major!" Scarlett screamed as three ghosts lunged at her.
"Oh yeah! you're still alive!" said Ella taking Olivia's polturgust and waving it at the ghosts.
"That's not...how...you...use it..." said Olivia in an exasperated voice.
"What's this button?" asked Ella flicking the switch and sucking up a ghost. "Look! I did it!" she said proudly.
"Oooh fun" Luna pulled out her own and sucked up a ghost shouting, "Die you motherfucking ghost! DIE!"
Finally, the moment when all the ghosts in the room were taken care of, the lights turned on.
"Well, that was fun!" said Luna jumping up and down on a cushioned chair; until she fell off.
Then a blue chest encrusted with jewels appeared on the ground.
"Oooh," said Luna getting up off the ground. "treasure!"
"Are they pirate ghosts?" asked Ella walking towards the chest.
"If they were pirate ghosts then this place would be in a pirate ship." Scarlett rolled her eyes, opening the chest. There was a key inside.
"Aww man! There wasn't any treasure." Luna pouted.
"Hey, look." Ash said opening a cabinet. As he opened it, out came gold coins and dollar bills.
"Ha! I knew they were pirates!" Ella shouted to Scarlett.
After a little thinking Everette wondered if the key opened another door nearby. They walked out and because it was still dark outside the room they turned on their flashlights again. They decided to see if there was anything to the right of them so they began walking. Seconds later they saw a door and tested the key to see if it would open it. Olivia turned the handle and with a creepy creek the door opened...
