Reign Of Terror

Chapter 6
No survivors

As they waited for John and Kofi to come back, they continued to look through the books. Meanwhile behind the bookcase, "Hey John where do you think this secret passage way leads to?" Kofi asked him as they were walking. "I don't know! But I'm sure it leads somewhere, besides there has to be another way..." John was cut short by Kofi. "Hey John what's that on the wall?" He asked. John looked on the wall and saw bloody writing, it read, "No Survivors! You all will die one by one until I get her!" John read in horror as he took a few steps into the wall, and felt something on his ankle. "Whoah!" He yelled as he jumped. When he looked back he saw that it was just a cat.

"Hey Kofi let's get out of here now!" John yelled. Kofi started laughing, "John it was just a cat!" He told him as he walked towards the cat, he started to pick it up since it had a collar, but realized it hiding behind something. As he got closer, he noticed that the cat was lying behind a dead body, "Ahh!" Kofi and John both screamed as they took off running. They ran to what looked like a door and tried to open it. "It's locked!" John yelled as he started banging on the door. "Help! Help! Help!" John yelled. Kofi helped by making as much noise as possible. "Help! Help! Somebody help us!" He yelled also banging on the door.

As they were yelling neither noticed that there was someone behind them, "You should have left this place!" He yelled. Kofi and John turned in horror as they looked in front of them, and couldn't believe their eyes. "Ahhh! Ghost!" They yelled, but before either could do anything, the ghost grabbed Kofi by the throat and held him in the air against the wall, "Please let me go!" Kofi begged trying to breath. John watched in horror as he saw Kofi begging for his life, "Let him go!" John yelled tackling the ghost. The ghost fell to the ground, note this ghost was not invisible or see through it was more like a monster or zombie.

Anyway John tackled him to the ground, making the ghost drop Kofi. John got up long enough to check on Kofi, "Hey kid you alright?" John asked him. Kofi nodded as he tried to stand up, as looked over at the ghost. They realized he wasn't moving and someone was standing over him. "Hey John is that who I think it is?" Kofi asked him as they walked closer to the girl and turned her to face them. "AJ!" They both whispered. "How did you.." John was cut off as AJ put a finger over his lips, "Shhh! Don't speak just follow me and stay quiet!" She told them. They both looked at each other before nodding and followed AJ. They walked what seemed like forever, until they came upon a door. "Okay guys this is the only way out! Just walk through that door and you'll come out another door in the living room!" She told them.

They both nodded as they turned towards the door and John opened it. They walked through the door, but when they looked back to see if AJ was behind them, she was gone! "Where did she go?" John asked scratching his head. Kofi shrugged his shoulders as they walked back to the library and opened the door.

Nikki saw them first, "John!" She yelled as she ran giving him a hug. John hugged her back and smiled, "Did y'all find anything else?" He asked her. Nikki shook her head, "No ! Did you guys find AJ?" She asked him. John thought for a second, "Should I tell her that AJ saved our lives? Or keep it a secret considering that she's nowhere to be found?" He thought to himself. John smiled as he hugged his girlfriend, "No we didn't, but I'm sure she'll turn up." He told her as they walked back towards the others.

John knew that something wasn't right. How did AJ know where to find them? How did she disappear without no one seeing her? All these questions and no answers. As John thought about all these questions, none of them knew what was to happen next. Upstairs AJ was in the attic of the mansion looking at old photos, when she saw him standing by the window. "Why are you doing this? They had nothing to do with what happened all those years ago!" AJ told him upset. The man smiled as he turned towards AJ, "I know but they are invading my home and I must protect my family!" He told her. "You can't do that! Someone invited them here! Someone invited me here! Dad please just let them help find out who killed us. Who killed me your little girl, I was only five!" She told him in tears. The man looked up at her, "I know sweetie, but it's to dangerous for them to be here! He won't stop until he has you and he's willing to hurt your friends in the process!" He told her.

AJ nodded, "I know but I will find out who killed us and protect my friends. You have to promise me that you'll stop trying to scare them with the scary voice!" She begged him. He nodded, "Fine just be careful sweetie!" He told her rubbing her face gently. "AJ nodded, "I will daddy!" She told her as he vanished in thin air, "I will protect them no matter what!" She told herself as she walked through the door.

Meanwhile back downstairs, "Alright guys! Looks like we have to split up and find AJ!" Mark told them. "Where could she be at?" Layla asked. "I don't know but she's Ben missing for awhile, and we can't just sit here waiting for her to show up!" He told her. Layla nodded, "Alright so how do we split up?" She asked him. "How about me, Glen, Chris, Kofi, Amy, Adam, Matt, Jeff, and Trish check upstairs and the rest of you check downstairs!" He insisted. Paul and the others nodded, "That works for us! Let's go!" He told him. As they walked out of the library, no one knew that they were being watched.

As everyone split up, AJ had to figure out how to help her friends without telling her secret so she decided to tell the only two people she trusted. As Mark's group went upstairs to not only look for AJ but to also see if they could find anything on the family. The others looked around downstairs, Stephanie, Layla, and the Bella twins checked the living room. Stephanie checked the bookshelves and found a book that looked out of place. She pulled it out and opened it, "Oh my god!" She whispered as she covered her mouth. "Hey girls check this out!" She yelled waving for them to walk over to her. "What is Steph?" Brie asked her. "I think I found something! Looks like a journal or some kind of diary!" She told them. They all read in amazement, "What does this mean?" Nikki asked. "It means she wrote this before she was murdered. The killer came back for her, that's why her body was never found. He hid her somewhere in this mansion, all these secret passage ways she could be anywhere!" Steph told them. "But why would anyone do this?" Nattie asked. Before Stephanie could answer someone spoke softly behind them, "I know why, but you all won't believe when I tell you!" AJ told them. "AJ how do you know anything about this?" Stephanie asked her. "Yeah and where did you come from? Why do you keep disappearing and reappearing?" Nikki asked her. AJ just took a deep breath, "Alright I'll tell you the entire story but you cannot tell the others promise?" She asked them. They all looked at each other, "I don't know AJ we can't keep this from the others!" Steph told her. "I know but you have too for their own safety!" She told her. Steph hesitated for a minute before agreeing, she hated hiding secrets from her friends and her husband but in this situation, she didn't have a choice. "Alright AJ what is it that you've been hiding from us?" Steph asked her.

AJ just stared at them then smiled, "You're all about to find out, all of you grab my hands while I take you back in time!" She told them. As they joined hands, AJ spoke something in tongue that no one understood and the room and everything inside started spinning in circles.

What happens next?

AJ takes them back fifty years ago, and they learn what really happened to the Wilson family and who AJ really is!
