Halloween Special
Small Summary
Author's Note: Nebula is mentioned in this. So this takes place after Chapter 4. So let's just treat Chapter four as a prequel.
After watching Buzzfeed: Unsolved. The girls decided to take some of their friends to the Sallie House.
In Kansas, there's a house. The Sallie House. Seen on Buzzfeed: Unsolved the house is known for the ghost that inhabits the house. Sallie. Now some very special people are coming to ghost hunt here. One has the ability to communicate and summon the dead.
"We're here." I said happily. I was so happy to get them all here. Peter took a long time to persuade but he came. I could see the look of fear in his eyes. To be honest i'm gonna miss this. In just a couple of weeks, I'm gonna try to join the Guardians.
Sure when you think about it it seems like a long time. But the time is rushing by. Like soon we'll be leaving. Now I'm starting to realize how little I know about the galaxy. I've only been to five planets in my life. Now I'm thinking about joining a team. Have I lost my mind?
"Listen, guys, I know I'm white but I'm not this white," Peter said pointing at the house.
"Don't be silly Petey," Todd said rubbing his head. "With Piper here, she can keep any evil spirits at bay right Piper?"
Piper was busy looking around at the neighborhood. In her Terran form, she looked dull. Her hair just wasn't the same with the glow. But at least she got blue eyes.
"Yes, I can help protect us for a little while. Where are Mekaylah and Nebula?"
Ari who was wearing a cloaking bracelet stopped adjusting the glamera. Ari was naturally good with photographing or videotaping. And her cloaking bracelet made her look Asain this time. Short black hair that was wavy. Fair soft skin. And deep brown mysterious eyes.
"I don't know where those guys are. I checked my riff pad they should have been at the front of the house already. But to be honest, wear is Emma and Kevin? Those two were here before us where did they run off to?"
"I think they went to get snacks by a nearby gas station," Todd said.
Soon Peter heard a ping on his phone. It was a text from Mekaylah.
LavenderLovey101: I'm in Chicago getting a deep dish pizza for us. Also, I don't think Nebula likes her default mode for the cloaking bracelet.
Petey: What's her default?
LavenderLovey101: She has actual hair with it. So she pretty bothered by it. Doesn't help that it's long and... well... red. She's a redhead.
Petey: Please tell me your joking
LavenderLovey: Period Peter. But yes she's a redhead. Listen I got to go. Nebula's watching me and I don't think in a good way. Bye.
Petey: Bye
"Who were you texting?" Todd asked leaning his head in to look at his phone.
Todd may be a ball of sunshine but he really needs to work on being nosy.
Peter shoved him away. "I was talking to Mekaylah. She went to Chicago to get a pizza. Knowing her she's probably gonna get more than just a pizza."
"Well if she had said that earlier I wouldn't have told Emma and Kevin to get snacks then."
"Wait we shouldn't have gotten snacks," Kevin said holding up two plastic bags.
"Well turns out sissy decided to get a pizza but will have the snacks for later."
"Thank God," Emma said bringing a straw up to her mouth. "With how many snacks we bought I'm pretty sure the clerk thought that we were high. Doesn't help that Kevin has pink eye."
While Emma was distracted. Kevin tried to rub his eye before Emma saw him.
"Take your hand away from your eye immediately."
"But it itches." Kevin wined.
"I could care less if burns your retinas."
"Fine, I won't itch it."
"Who needs kids when I have you."
"Hey."
Now the house was perfect. The creepy vibe it gave off. The old furniture that's probably been here for years. The creaky door that is definitely going to get on Emmy's nerves. I love everything about it. Except with how small it was. The narrow staircase and kitchen. A lot of people thinks it because I'm a princess. I just don't really like small spaces. Certain things I'll make acceptions for. So I just need to remember I'm just staying here for the night and I'll be asleep. Wait would I see a demon in my dreams? Will I be possessed by a demon and kill people? That probably would be Nebula. Speaking of Nebula. What is her default mood? Also, where is sis?
"Guys were sis?"
Everyone looked at me with the look they always gave me when I did this.
A common trait with me is I easily forget things. It's happened more than once. But at this point, everyone has gotten used to it. They just gave me a look.
"Honey we just told you that Mekaylah and Nebula were in Chicago. Remember?"
"Oh yeah. How could I forget."
Peter rolled his eyes. "You're always forgetting something."
Soon the door creaked open. We all turned around. You know because that's what everyone in a horror movie does. I pulled out my gun.
"Why do have a gun?" Todd asked looking concerned.
"In case we see any demons."
"What do you mean!?"
"In case we see any demons I'm gonna shoot em."
"I... uh... why... would... you... What went through your mind? You know what do what makes you happy."
The door creaked louder. I raised the gun. I aimed directly for the door.
"Hands in the air ghost!"
I shot the gun five times. Three times on the roof. Causing plywood to fall down. And twice at the door. Honestly, when I come to Terra my aim is shit. Take me to any other planet and I could aim that with my eyes closed.
"Sweet gods Kaya!" Kevin said walking up to the door. "I think you shot someone."
The others gather around. It was a woman. She was white and had long red hair. She was laying down on her stomach.
"We need to call an ambulance," Peter said starting to pick her up. "Wait a minute. Why does she look like Karen Gillan?"
The good news is she didn't have a bullet wound. So it only went that a piece of the roof might have hit her on the head. Bad news she a famous actress and she might have a concussion.
"Holy shit! I just gave a famous actress a concussion."
"So is nobody else gonna wonder why a famous actress came to a haunted house in Kanas?" Ari said turning the camera off and then on again. "Because I have it on tape. I mean I'll edit it out if you want. But no really. Is nobody else wondering why an actress is in a haunted in Kanas? Nobody at all!?"
"You didn't knock out Karen Gillan. You knocked out Nebula."
Everyone turned around to see Mekaylah. She was wearing a sweater that said 'Demon' and was eating a piece of pizza.
"Sis? What were doing back there?" I asked tucking away the gun. I really didn't want her to get on my case about it.
"Standing. Why did you bring a gun?"
Shit. "Can we talk later."
"If you want. But that's Nebula in her default mode. So you gave Nebula a concussion."
Nebula gave a small groan from the chair.
"Ohhhhh. That makes a lot of sense. Well, I'm sure it's not that bad."
She walked over to Nebula. Touching parts of her head. "Well, she's not bleeding but I'm gonna make an ice pack. Try not to shot that thing. Even though for you it might be difficult."
I know sis was trying to make a joke. But that just stung harder than a herla during the red moons and rings in December. I'll tell her about it later. I know if I tell her now she's going to be upset. And then she'll be stressing about it for the rest of the night and I want this to be fun.
"You alright?" Todd said. I'm sure he heard the toxic tone in her voice.
I scratched the back of my head. "Fine. You know sis when she tries to joke about certain things. Sometimes she just comes off as toxic."
"You sure that Nebula's gonna be fine?" Mekaylah was putting an ice pack on her head while she started to come to. "I mean a ceiling fell on her head."
I waved him off and guffawed. "I'm sure she'll be fine. She's a tough girl. I'm sure she can handle this fine."
Ari turned on the camera. "So I'm gonna get some shots of the house. Then I'll come back and we can do whatever. Do you want me to keep the footage of you shooting Nebula?"
"Yeah, it'll be a great intro." Nebula was coming to. A little disoriented but fine.
"An intro of you with a gun saying 'Hands in the air ghost!'?"
"Yeah. I definitely want that."
"Alright then." She gave a sigh. "I'll be back."
I walked over to Nebula. She looked okay. Just out of it. Like really out of it.
"Hey, Neb." I pat her head softly. Hoping I wasn't hurting her. "How are you feeling? I hit you pretty hard on the head."
"I'm fine. I'm a tough girl." She slurred. Sounded like she was underwater. "Nothing happening to yet me."
"Okay then. Glad you're okay."
Mekaylah gave me a perplexed look. "Sis she didn't say the sentence correctly. I think we should take her to the hospital."
"I'm sure she'll be fine."
Ari came back and sat on the couch. Peter was having a panic attack. Todd and Piper were trying to calm him down. And Emma and Kevin were asleep.
"WAKE THE FUCK UP LOVERS!"
I'm a little loud. At least that's what's sis says. But she has a sound sensitivity. But then again. Todd, Ari, Piper, Peter, Nebula, Mom, Seli (Mom's girlfriend. Which I wouldn't be surprised would purpose soon. I mean they've been dating for over ten years), Emma, and Kevin say the same thing. Must just be them.
"Why did you have to yell?" Emma was rubbing her eyes and waking up up Kevin.
I smiled. "Because I can. Come on I'm about to communicate with spirits. I bought an Ouija board."
I rest the board down. "Who wants to communicate with spirits?"
"I sense a dark energy." Piper said shuddering.
"We haven't gone into the basement. Todd, you wanna talk with spirits?"
Todd was taking care of Nebula. "No thanks."
I was starting to get frustrated. I planned all this and no one wanted to participate. Maybe a haunted house wasn't the best idea. But it doesn't matter. Oh, sis did the repairing spells.
I held my hands into the sky. "Spirits! I ask to communicate with you!"
The pendulum moved. Or more like I moved the pendulum.
"Why is it moving? Why the hell is it moving!?" Peter said. He walked behind Mekaylah.
"You know what? I'm just going to move behind here for a second." Todd said. And went behind Mekaylah. And she looked super annoyed.
"Put on a smile Emmy. You don't look nice when you frown."
She stuck her tongue out. "I don't like it when you tell me to smile Kalia."
I covered my ears. "La la la! I can't hear you! I'm going back to communicating with spirits."
I moved the pendulum again. "What is your message spirit?" I moved the pendulum lightly so no one could tell I was moving it. "S-U-B-S-C-R-I-B-E. DEMONS!"
"Maybe it's the concussion. But does that spell out subscribe?" Nebula slurred. Maybe she does need to go to the ER.
"Sis, are you serious?"
"Okay, I wanted to take a little tension out of the room. Now I want to go to the basement. Heard that some satanist lived here and there's a pentagram in the basement."
Everyone kinda looked at each other with a look of fear. I mean I guess it is kinda scary. But it's not the scariest thing ever.
"Let's go!" Nebula said.
"Nebula," I said as gently as I could. "We have to go downstairs. And that requires walking. And you don't seem to be in the best condition to walk."
Nebula got up from the chair. She got up from the couch fast. A bit too fast. She got up like she was drunk. Mekaylah actually had to hold her to stop her from falling.
"I'm fine. Wait a minute if Mekaylah is holding me how is she next to you?"
"The fuck?" Todd said.
"Kaya, how are you next to Mekaylah if you're over there? There are like four of you. Can you guys duplicate yourself?"
Now sis was giving me her classic Emmy face. So first her eyes basically bulge out her head. They don't actually do that. There just really huge. Then she scorns you. It's like she's punching you. With her mind. Even though she doesn't make eye contact. It still feels like that. And I'm getting that look bad.
"Will take her to the ER tomorrow." But now I realize something. Nebula is definitely not in good state of mind to be by herself. Especially if this house is supposedly haunted.
"Okay, who wants to watch Nebula while were in the basement?"
"Me! I'll do it! Please, let me do it!" Peter said on his hands and knees.
So I already know that Peter was going to be the first person to ask to do that. So I'm already gonna shut him down real quick.
"Yeah, how about... no. Kevin, you get to watch her."
"Thank you, gods!" He saw the way I was watching him and changed his answer. "I mean... ah man! I wish could come."
I smiled. "I'm sure Emma would like to trade with you."
"No. Don't worry I'll take excellent care of her." He rested Nebula on his lap. "Come on let's take a nap."
We walked down into the basement. Well more like everyone else went down and I was staying with Peter. Mostly because I have devised a prank. I can think of a prank faster than anyone but I can't follow a plan for the life of me. Because that makes absolutely perfect sense.
"Aren't you gonna go down?" Peter said with a tremor of fear in his voice.
Peter is such a wuss. And love him for it. But also like using it against him.
"I'm gonna go down first. Then I'll call for you to come down." I smiled gleefully. Cause let's be honest. Scaring the shit out of friends is fucking hilarious.
"What!?" Peter already looked like he was about to shit himself. "You can't let walk down to the basement by myself! That's how people die in horror movies."
I rolled my eyes. "Peter yes I can make you go down. And there are no serial killers. Do you see how small this house is? I'm pretty sure we would notice a person living here."
I walked down the steps. My gods this is to narrow. Get me out get me out get me out! And the fucking basement is almost more claustrophobic than the staircase. But everything was in place.
Todd and Piper were hovering up. Ari had the glamera in her hand. Even though it looked like a regular camera. Sis was hiding in the very back. Emma had put the flashlight on the black spot. Everything was perfect.
"You can come down Peter!"
I ran over to Mekaylah while she turned everyone else invisible. I could hear Peter steps on the wooden floor. The stairs honestly sound like they're going to break.
"Kaya? Where are you? Anybody?"
I could hear more steps. "Where are you guys?"
"AAAAAAAAAHHHHHHHHHHH!" Mekaylah yelled.
"Mekaylah! What the fuck is happening? What just touched me?"
I'm starting to feel bad about this. But then again I'm enjoying it too much to stop.
"Who's there? Show yourself!"
Mekaylah kept me invisible until I was right in front of him. I honestly do feel bad for doing this. But like I said earlier. It's gonna be fucking hilarious.
I made myself into a little girl. Knowing for a fact that Mekaylah told Peter the stories of this house.
"Why are you in my house?"
Peter backed away slowly. I could see the fear written all over his face. His eyes were opened wide with shock and fear. My gods, he's actually buying it.
"Listen," I could hear the tremors in his voice. "give me back my friends and we'll leave your house okay?"
I smiled an innocent smile. "I've already taken care of them. Your girlfriend was the only that truly gave the struggle. The only one yelled."
"Oh no. They can't be dead! Todd is one of my best friends! This can't be happening!"
I gave laugh. A mix between sinister, sadistic, and mischievous. These are the times that I'm happy I took drama. "Well, it's time to take care of you now."
I made the flashlight blink and brought Peter up from the ground.
"Do you like my little game?" I made my voice sound demonic like in the movies. You would think with my magic it wouldn't affect me as much. But it still hurts my throat like hell.
"Please make this stop!" He was crying.
Okay, maybe this prank has run its course. I don't want Peter to have a mental breakdown. This is supposed to fun.
I mashed him down on the ground. Sorry, Pete. But have to make it realistic for you. Hope it didn't hurt as much as it looked like. I turned the lights off. It was pitch black. I couldn't even see.
We all walked to Peter. With slow heavy footsteps.
"BOO!"
Peter ran straight into the wall. I think his nose was bleeding. But when he saw the glamera and all of us laughing he smiled a little.
"Fuck you guys!" He was having hard trying not to laugh. Peter always finds some way to laugh. "You had me there for a second. Can we get out of here now? It's really claustrophobic."
"Yeah let's get out of here. Wait I want to do something first."
I rest the flashlight on the black spot.
"Demon do you want to kill us?"
The light turned on. The light turned fucking on. And the flashlight flung across the room. This isn't actually happening. This has to be something else.
"Mekaylah, did you do anything with the flashlight?"
Mekaylah looked horrified. "I didn't do anything."
"And Todd and Piper can't bend light. Everyone get the fuck out."
We rushed out of the basement.
"You know what let's just go to sleep."
We went to a Taco Bell. I guess for some strange reason we all wanted Taco Bell. Maybe everyone who goes ghost hunting craves Taco Bell.
Everyone was talking and giving each other details about things that happened to them last night. But Nebula didn't say anything. Which was actually pretty concerning. Now that I'm noticing it. She hasn't eaten anything.
"Nebula, you haven't eaten anything." I tried to hide the concern in my voice. "You all right?"
She looked at me confused and looked around. "Where am I?"
Everyone looked at me with concern.
"I'm sure it's not anything ser-"
"Who are you, people?"
I took Nebula by the hand and lead her out the door.
So this is my Halloween Special if that isn't obvious. And I'm probably not getting chapter 4 released until mid-November or early December. Thanks for reading. And please comment. Because there's always room for improvement.
