Haunted

Chapter 4

By dsguy411

I took interest in the KatieXAdyson pairing after reading some stories on DeviantART. If you don't like the pairing, then don't say anything. Carrying on from Chapter 3, the other Fireside Girls are now looking for Ginger.

Katie and Adyson checked the dining room and found no sign of Ginger, so they check the living room next. They shined their lights at the couch, then the chairs, then the mirror, which reflected the light back to their eyes and made them drop their flashlights. They broke upon impact and the room went dark.

"Oh no, we lost our light," Katie hollered.

"Don't worry, I think I have some glow sticks with me," Adyson said.

"I'm scared," Katie said.

Then a snap was heard and the area around them was bathed in a green light coming from a glow stick. Katie was lost in the glow stick's eerie glow. She almost completely forgot about her mission when Adyson tugged her shoulder.

"Katie?" she said, "We're suppose to look for Ginger."

"Oh, right," Katie said, blushing in embarrassment, "Sorry about that. You're glow stick is beautiful in the dark."

"Yes, yes it is," Adyson replied, looking back at Katie.

Lightning suddenly flashed, briefly revealing a floating figured behind them. They turned around the used their glow sticks to see who it was, but they found nothing. Scared, the two girls placed their backs on each other, nervously looking around the room.

Milly and Holly searched through the basement, with the flashlights in their hands. They heard something so they flashed their lights at the water heater where they heard the sound coming from. All was there was a little rat, who scurried behind the heater the moment the light shined upon it.

"Don't think she's down here," Holly said, shining her light towards the washer and dryer.

"Well we have to keep looking," Milly replied.

As they walked to another part of the room, lightning flashed again. The very same figured shown in the living room appeared briefly before the room darkened.

A door opened up on the floor of the attic which made the ladder slide down to the second floor below. Climbing up the ladder was Ferb with Gretchen following behind. They turned on their flashlights and shined them on several boxes and then towards the lone window. Lightning flashed from outside and briefly illuminated the room. Scared, Gretchen quickly clung onto Ferb who looked down on her.

"This place gives me the creeps," Gretchen stated, "but at least you're here with me."

Ferb just smiled at her briefly before facing the attic window again. Gretchen felt that nothing would happen to her as long as Ferb's here with her. She let go of the boy and shined her light at several old dolls that were entirely covered with dust.

"Ginger?" she asked, "Are you there?"

No one answered. She felt very nervous; feeling that something could jump on her at any moment. That's when a hand grabbed her shoulder and she screamed, making the hand let go of her. Gretchen turned around to see who was grabbing her when she realized that it was Ferb.

"Oh, Ferb, sorry about that," she said, giving out a sigh of relief.

After pulling herself together, Gretchen went with Ferb elsewhere in the attic to look for Ginger. In a crevice between the boxes behind them emerged the red eye, searching for its next victim. A flash of thunder revealed a silhouette of an egg-headed being with a football shaped body. When the flash subsided, the red eye was no longer there.

Phineas, Isabella, and Melissa first check their rooms to see if Ginger had returned. After finding no trace of her, they walked down the hallways until they reached the library. They walked past the door and saw that it was filled with very old books. Phineas and Isabella shined their flashlights all over the place and saw that nobody was around. The emptiness and the shadows caused by the flashlights made Melissa cling onto Isabella's skirt.

She looked down on the young girl and said, "Don't worry."

Melissa let out a smile, feeling safe once again. Phineas walked around the bookshelves to see if Ginger was behind one of them and walked back to Isabella.

"Ginger's definitely not here," he said.

"We just need to look elsewhere then," Isabella responded.

"We could look in the other bedrooms," Phineas proposed.

Nodding in agreement, Isabella left with Melissa still clinging onto her skirt. Phineas quickly followed behind and closed the door. When the room was completely dark, lighting illuminated the room, revealing the figure very briefly before the room darkened again.

Katie and Adyson entered into the kitchen, still standing back-to-back. Adyson looked around the room and saw only knifes and utensils. Katie cowered behind her, fearing that the ghost maybe nearby.

"Adyson, can we look somewhere else please?" Katie asked.

"You're right," Adyson agreed, "I doubt that anyone's here."

They then heard the door opened and closed and the girls faced the door and saw nothing there. Nervous, they slowing walked backwards when all of a sudden, several bandages emerged from the dark and wrapped around Adyson. She was pulled back into the darkness, making the kitchen dark again.

"Adyson, where are you?" Katie hollered in fear. She took a quick look around her and started fearing the worse. Hoping that it's not the case, she quietly asked, "Adyson?"

That's when the bandages wrapped around Katie and pulled her into the pitch, black darkness. Lightning illuminated the room, revealing that no one was in there anymore.

In another room somewhere was a man covered in darkness, sitting on a chair and watching something on a computer. On the screen was the room where Katie and Adyson were snatched by the ghost.

"Looks like we've got two more Fireside Girls," the man said, "Soon, they'll all be mine and my plan will be put into action."

The computer changed its screen and showed the foyer. The door opened up, revealing Candace and Jeremy, completely waterlogged. Once inside, Candace wringed out the water from her hair.

"Hello, is anyone there?" Jeremy asked only not to get an answer.

"I don't think that anyone's there," Candace said.

"Well we should at least wait until the storm clears up a bit," Jeremy stated, looking out into the rainy night.

The man opened up a window on his computer, showing data for current and past Fireside Girls. He clicked on one of their pictures and revealed Candace's profile.

"She was a Fireside Girl, eh?" he said to himself, "Okay, why not? She'll be one more member to fulfill my plans. And I'll be sure to enlist her boyfriend and her brothers, too."

Looks like Candace might be next. Hopefully Jeremy won't let anything happen to hear. Remember to read and review.
