Hey guys! Yeah I haven't been on in a while. This site gave my mom's PC an awful virus so I couldn't come back on. Now I have a new laptop and better anti virus. I think I will continue with this as long as everyone likes it. I've been working on my own story but now am having writers block so this helps. I hope you guys like this!

"Melinda, Melinda. Wake up." The leader said shaking Melinda's shoulders

Melinda's eyes fluttered open.

"The Great Seven!" Melinda gasped.

"Are you alright?" A woman wearing a long white dress asked.

"Yes, yes. I'm fine…" Melinda said. "Who was he? What does he want?"

"We don't know who he is." A man said "But we know what he wants."

"He wants to make sure you and your grandmother won't be able to help spirits anymore. He wants them all to join him and clash the spirit world."

"What? That's awful!" Melinda said "He can't do that, right? That shouldn't be possible!"

"When the world is pulled off balance anything can happen." Said a bald man wearing a long purple robe.

"The evil spirits are overpowering the good ones. They don't understand and now there are a lot more of them."

"Well can't you stop them? You are more powerful than any of them!"

"That is the problem. If we have to fight them we are breaking the barrier and they are sure to win. Only the Gordon's can stop him."

Melinda took a step back and looked at all of them to see if they were serious. They were.

"What! You expect a girl, a grandmother, a boy with no experience at all and my mother who doesn't even believe in any of this to defeat a spirit so powerful you can't stop him." Melinda argued "I mean C'mon! We can't do that!"

"You have to believe you can." The leader said. "You'll have to dig deep inside yourself to defeat him. Even so the three Gordon's will have to come together to defeat him.

"But only two Gordon's can see ghosts. Jim isn't a Gordon." Melinda explained.

"Your mother can see spirits, Melinda." She said "How did you not…."

"How dare she keep this from me!" Melinda interrupted. "She could have helped me with this. She understood what I have been going through and wouldn't help me! I needed her!"

"She has always tried to hide her powers, ever since she was a child. It is a great strain on her; ignore the spirits that come to her. She has done it all her life, even enough to fool your grandmother." Said the woman wearing the white dress.

"She will have to come out of hiding if she wants this world to stay as it is." The leader said. "And if she wants you and your grandmother to survive."

"Wait, if she doesn't help me and granny will die!" Melinda said shocked

"Yes." She said "Good bye, Melinda."

All seven on them disappeared.

Melinda sat on the floor absolutely shocked.

The front door pushed open and Jim and Melinda's mom rushed to Melinda's side.

"Melinda, are you okay?" Melinda's mom asked. "Are you hurt?"

"I'm okay." Melinda said plainly with no expression in her voice.

"Mel, what happened?" Jim asked.

Melinda turned to her mother with tears of sadness and anger in her eyes.

"How come you didn't tell me you could see ghosts too?"
