MarciaLovesRVCuppycakes- I'm glad you like it and I hope you keep reading it!

Emilly-star-92- I'll go more in-depth with what happened in the house when the priest comes to the house but that wont be till the next chapter, and it was creepy huh. I used to read those poems as a kid and they were in the movie as well. And if you didn't like George in the last chapter you deff wont like him in this.

Kmr04- Thank you and don't worry about it, take your time :)

Toxic Pixie Sunshine- I don't blame you, all of us woman have motherly instincts. I have it and I don't even have kids, I just have a ton of nieces and nephews.

A/N- So supposedly this whole chapter expect the first part with Casey really happened. The father actually did this. IDK if it's true but I heard he did.

Chapter 6

"Because me and him... are just two dead boys, who have to fight." Casey couldn't sleep, that last thing Derek said to her kept playing back in her head. There was something in his voice, it was sorrow but determined. She asked herself if he was serious then she began to doubt him, maybe there were not any ghosts in this house, maybe it was the treatments that he was receiving. She hadn't seen this 'burnt up kid'. But she didn't want to doubt him, maybe he needed to be taken away for a while, taken out of this house. She sighed and put a pillow over her head to let out a groan, why did her mind have to do this to her? Then she looked at the clock, 11:30, it wasn't that late but she kept hearing the beating of wings. There were no birds up. She sat up in her bed, the flapping noises where getting louder, was there a bird in her room. She turned her head only slightly to see a bird rise from the painting off the wall and fly around her room. Her mouth dried up and she couldn't move, she then heard heavy breathing and whispered in the darkness of her room.

"Derek?"

With shaky hands she picked her cell phone up from her nightstand and used that as a flash light to scan her room from her bed. "Derek," She whispered harshly this is not funny, I'm tripping out!" She went right around her room once with the light and then the second time around she passed right by the kid with the burned skin, Johan was his name. She screamed and dropped her phone, the room went dark again and the breathing from Johan came closer and closer until she could feel it on her face, she closed her eyes and then the door swung open to show: Derek, Nora, Marti, Lizzie and Edwin. She heard three gasps and then Derek yell.

"Get away from her!"

And Johan vanished just like that, Nora turned the lights on and then Lizzie screamed. Casey's covers where covered in blood, Derek ran over and flipped them of f of her and then he gasped. "Derek, what?" Casey asked in a shaky voice.

She saw him back up. "Casey your…."

"I'll go get some bandages." Nora said as she ran into the bathroom and pushed the kids out of the room.

Casey really didn't want to look down but she did, her legs where covered in symbols. It was writing from a different langue. Every inch of her legs where covered, but she didn't even feel anything happen to her. She then looked at Derek with red puffy eyes, "Derek…I didn't even…." She trailed off and Derek went back over to the bed and then looked down at her legs, the symbols where gone. Casey, who was wondering what he was starring at looked back down at her legs and Nora came back into the room and dropped the rubbing alcohol. "It's gone…" She looked up at the teens. "This place really is haunted isn't it?"

For the rest of the night the family slept with the lights on, Derek was sleeping in Casey's room after she begged him to stay and the kids where in Nora's bed. Then at 3am they got another wake up when the front door opened and shut and George's angry and drunk voice filled the quite house.

"Hello!"

Casey's eyes opened up, Derek was already sitting up.

"Why are all the lights on!" He was screaming

Derek shot out of bed and Casey followed him, they both stood in the hallway and looked over the railing. Nora came out of her room with her robe on and took the two teens into her room and shut the door and it clicked as it locked.

Casey and Derek sat on the bed, Marti buried her face into Derek's chest and was crying as Derek covered her ears, Casey covered Lizzie's ears and Nora did the same to Edwin. The family huddled together on the bed as doors opened and slammed shut.

"Everyone in this house is sleeping with the lights on and I wanna know WHY?" He shouted.

Derek rocked Marti. "shh." She said as he rocked her.

Nora bit her lip. "He's been drinking."

"Why don't we just build a fire and through money in it HUH?" He was coming up the stairs now.

"I gotta pay a mortgage, and now a rent…here's another one!" He was right outside the door.

"Every single fucking room…" He was kicking the door and it swung open. "Has a light on!"

He looked at them all with pure anger, rage and hate. He began to unscrew the light bulbs from the chandelier. He went over to the side of the bed and pulled the lamb off of the night stand.

"Here we go!" He turned back to them. "Sleep in the dark!" and slammed the door shut again everything was quite expect for Marti's soft sobs and the shattering of light bulbs downstairs.

"There we go," Shatter. "Lights out!"

There were footsteps and the front door slammed shut. Nora got up off the bed and put her slippers on. "Stay here." She told them and went outside.

"George." She said and he stopped in his tracks on the stairs and turned to her. "That was a cruel and childish thing to do… All you did was scare everybody in this house."

He moved to hug her.

"Don't touch me!" She yelled and he backed off and stood there, looking like a child that got his hand slapped for touching a cookie.

"Your family needs you." She told him. "They don't need yourself piety. You get drunk again, don't come home." She finished and turned on the stairs going back into the house. Leaving George standing out in the winter cold, he then got into his car and drove off. Leaving the family scared and hurt.
