Eddie sighed.

Just then his phone rang.

Elsie.

"Hello, Eddie here." He said into the phone.

"Hey..Eddie, its Elsie." She muttered. "Eddie I need your help!"

"Elsie, what happened are you okay?" Eddie yelled into the phone. "Are you introuble?"

"No." Elsie laughed. "Its just this technology is new, and I may have forgotten how to text again."

Eddie made a face. "You type what you want to say, like on a computer."

"Oh thanks Eddie." Elsie chirped and then hung up.

Eddie sat silent for a moment, then saw Rose up on the stairs.

She gestured him to come up. Eddie got up and followed Rose up stairs.

"Rose, be more careful." Eddie hissed. "Remember my dad can see ghosts too."

Rose thought for a minute. "Hmm, oh yes."

"So what do you want, another picture?" Eddie asked.

Rose frowned. "Well, yes, but no. I need an answer. Why is Marina here?"

"She has a fashion show coming up." Eddie said. "She needed a place to stay."

"I never liked the girl." Rose replied. "She's just using Eric."

"Rose, your always saying how you love my mother and how you think my dads a jerk for leaving her." Eddie said.

"Questioning me, well that's new, I've never said that." Rose snapped.

Eddie took a deep breath before he could say something he'd later regret.

"Rose I need some time alone." Eddie said. Eddie didn't call Rose by his grandmother, because

1. He never knew her while she was alive.

2. Since ghosts can change there age, Rose looked about 20-25.

Rose crossed her arms. "Go ahead, I have plenty of other people to talk with."

"Rose, you know I don't-"

Rose was gone.

Later Nina, Eric and Marina were in the living room, drinking tea and catching up with each other.

"Nina, what are some of your interests?" Marina asked.

"Hmm, I love reading, mystery stories are my favorites. I also enjoy writing. Last year I wrote a play for the school." Nina replied.

"And what a play that was." Eric smiled. "This terms play, was, well, interesting." Eric frowned, what a disaster that last play had been.

"If you want, I'll write another for next term." Nina smiled.

Eric nodded. "A follow up, yes? I bet Victor could tell you a thing or two on the Frobisher-Smythes."

"Yeah, if I can get Victor to tell." Nina said rolling her eyes.

"I'll talk to Mr. Winkler (love that sexy beast) about your ideas when you get some." Eric said, he then got up to get some more tea for Nina, Marina and himself. "Don't worry I'll be back in a minute."

When he was out of sight, Marina whipped her head around to Nina.

"Nina listen I don't have much time," She whispered.

"Wait, what's going on?" Nina questioned.

"There's no fashion show, it was an excuse." Said Marina, hastily.

"Wait what!" Nina shouted.

Marina hushed her. "Don't let Eric here."

Nina looked considered. "Why?"

Marina sighed. "I have this gift you see." Nina nodded and Marina spoke again. "When I dream something, usually it's a image that will happen in the future. Well last week I had this strange dream."

Nina nodded.

"I dreamed that Eddie, Eric and you, I didn't know who you were at the time, were in danger, from a very evil creature. It was going to hurt you all." Marina whispered.

"Maybe she dreamed of the past?" Thought Nina. "Last month the three of us were in danger from an evil creature. But we are okay now."

"Where did this dream take place?" Nina asked. She knew Marina was going to say the school.

"The woods." Marina replied.

Nina froze. She had to ask another question. Maybe the setting didn't count.

"What did this creature look like?" Nina asked. The ghost who hurt them before was Pepper Avalon, she was just a dark shadow.

"Nina." Marina begun. "The creature, it- it was pure evil. It looked like a boy. He was a bloody and his eyes, they were hollow and dark. His teeth were sharp like a vampires!"

Nina felt sick. Pepper was a girl, a shadow and didn't look that evil. There was something else, after the Sweets.

Just then Eric walked in with the tea, Nina felt dizzy.

"Nina?" Eric asked. "Do you feel alright you look unwell." Nina didn't answer, she was to scared for herself and family to speak.

Marina looked at Nina. "Nina, Nina answer me."

Nina's eyes fluttered. And she collapsed to the ground.
