Chapter Four: des amoureux et des fantômes
Shaggy ignored us as we walked into Melisa's office once more, Melisa looked tired and ill, my arm still hurt by Melisa had bound the wound, and Shaggy looked withdrawn into his own mind, Scooby tried to cheer him up as we walked to the room but nothing he did brightened his best friend,
"So...so maybe she is real, maybe the ghost is real and now...and now she wants us all to play our parts in the game she set."
Real ghost? They were far between and few. We had come across a real ghost before and won. Well rather one of the hex girls saved us...
"If that is true then why is this ghost here? She was a figment-"
"It's said that figments can make reality, sis and I felt deeply about the book we wrote and when she made the castle it brought the book to life for her didn't it, why wouldn't the story then also come to life?"
Velma looked a bit stunned by shaggy's words, she shook her head;
"When did you research that Shaggy?"
He gave her a sad smile;
"Funny really the things you come across while writing books about the supernatural. I didn't directly look it up but I found it when I was writing my book, The child who didn't exist. Without that book I wouldn't have known about that, I think that the emotions that Melisa harbored for this place brought it to life."
I stared at them; if she was real...she'd just tried to kill me by making herself look like Velma... But why would she do that...other than the fact the role I was cast into was going to die?
"She might have tricked us then...the cops didn't seem too concerned did they? What if she made an illusion of cops and let us think they came?"
It made more sense than them ignoring us. But to do something like that meant that she had a great deal of power, how had she gotten it all in such a short time?
"What can we do then? If she's got so much power than couldn't she just outright kill us at this point?"
Shaggy rolled his eyes and sighed;
"No Daphne, she wouldn't do that. It's the story she's from that counts, she wants to play with us, kill us yes but play with us more."
Melisa nodded at the statement;
"He's right, we should form groups and get to bed, and she won't do anything to us for the rest of the night. Even if she dose we can stop her in groups."
We were all tired that was for sure.
I woke to strange sounds; it kind of freaked me out. Someone was moaning as if they were in a lot of pain, but why were they in pain? I sat up and looked at the other bed, shaggy rolled and let out another moan, Scooby looked at me and wined;
"Fred, Shag's Raving a rightmare."
A nightmare? How often did that happen? We usually slept in the same room true, that or Scooby would anyway.
"Should we try to wake him?"
Scooby shrugged;
"rever Ried."
Really? How was that for a friend, usually people woke me up if I was having a nightmare. A blood curdling scream came from the hall way, Waking Shaggy and raising the hairs on the back of my neck, holy shit what the hell was that?
"Melisa?"
Shaggy hopped up and went to the door. I jumped and stopped him from opening the door;
"They said call them, we agreed not to leave our rooms, that the ghost would trick us remember?"
He looked dazed and confused as he turned to me, my god he looked ill!
"Just lay down and I'll call the girls."
I led him to my bed which was closer and called the girls;
"Hello?"
The voice sounded scared and upset;
"It's Fred what happened?"
The voice on the other side said something to someone else;
"We don't know, but that scream sure did scare us!"
Ah Velma;
"Scared us too Velma, you guy are alright thought right?"
Velma muttered again;
"Yes we're fine...Daphne says she wishes we had Scooby."
No she didn't, he was cowering near Shaggy;
"Remind her he's a coward."
Velma laughed;
"Oh, oh that's right isn't it? Daph scoobs a coward."
I heard a snort of laughter, they all must have been laughing, and the scare must have made them crazy with relief that no one was hurt. I hung up after telling Velma that they should get some more sleep. Hanging up I turned to Shaggy who was staring at me;
"The girls are fine, scared but fine."
He nodded and sat up. He intended to get back to his own bed, wobbling as he stood I wasn't amazed when I had to grab him or he would have fallen on his face. He turned bright red;
"Thanks."
I nodded and picked him up, helping him into bed and making sure Scooby cuddled him I made my way to my own bed. If only this day would end and I could get some shut eyes I could think again...I would stop this ghost even if it was the last thing I did.
