"Mum, its the same picture thats on the mirror." Jess said and Zoe looked at it.
"Oh yeah, so it is." Zoe said, trying to sound positive about it.
"I think the symbols cool." Jess said, putting the necklace back on.
"So do I." Zoe said, watching Jess walk upstairs.
She came back down when she heard her dads voice downstairs, and he had come back with the cameras.
"Where are you putting them?" Jess asked him, looking at one and aking one into her hands.
"Well, I was going to put one in the corner of your bedroom..." Nick asked. "Is that alright?"
"Yeah." Jess said. "Ill just make sure I get changed in the bathroom." Nick laughed. "Where are the others going?"
"Ones going in the kitchen corner, and ones going in the corridor upstairs." Nick said.
"Oh okay." Jess said.
"Im going to test them out tonight." Nick said, and he heard Zoe sigh. He chose to ignore her.
"Cool." Jess said. "Can I got through mine in the morning?"
"Yeah sure. Gives me one less to do." Nick smiled.
"Awesome."
A few hours later, the cameras were set up and connected to the computer, and the doorbell rang to signify the beginning of the party. Linda was first to arrive with Britney. Jess was good friends with Britney, so Jess went downstairs to meet them.
"Hey Jess." Linda said as they both walked in.
"Woah this is huge!" Britney exclaimed as she looked around. "Wow."
"I know right?" Jess replied and looked at Britney.
"Is this house old?" Britney asked.
"Yeah." Jess said.
"Cos it looks it on the outside but no way on the inside!" Britney laughed.
"It was redone before we got here because its been empty for years." Jess smiled.
"Really?" Britney asked, and thought of something. "Is it... haunted?"
"I think so!" Jess said. "Let me show you something."
"Oh what?" Britney asked, intrigued.
"A video." She said. "Ill show you!"
They both went upstairs and Britney was in awe of Jess's bedroom. Jess sighed as her duvet wasn't on her bed again. She put it back.
"Why was your bed cover on the floor?" Britney asked.
"I don't know." Jess said. "I always leave it on the bed, come upstairs and its on the floor!"
"Woah weird." Britney said. "So this video?"
"Yeah watch." She played it for Britney.
"Okay, thats creepy!" Britney said.
"Yeah!" Jess said. "I don't remmeber it at all! I was asleep all night, but I was soooo tired when I got up. And I got up at eleven!"
"Woah." Britney laughed. "Is that why there is a camera there?" She pointed up.
"Yeah." Jess said. "Dad believes me, but mum don't."
"Why not?"
"Don't know." Jess said, and stood up. Britney stepped back and the floor board came up. It was obviously loose. "Whats that?" Britney picked up the small piece of wood, turned it over and there was numbers and letters on it, with Yes and No on the sides.
"No way." Britney said. "NO WAY."
"What is it?" Jess asked.
"Have you never seen one of these before?!" She asked.
"No..."
"People put a glass on it, with their finger on top, and they asked questions and ghost spell out their names and stuff."
"No way." Jess smiled.
"Yes way!" Britney said. "We should use it."
"Really?"
"Yeah!" Britney said. "See what happens..."
"Is it safe?"
"What harm can it do?" Britney asked. "Have you got a glass?"
"Sure there." Jess pointed.
"Awesome." Britney said and picked it up. Jess just stood there. "Well?"
"Okay." Jess said, agreeing. They sat down, each put a finger on the glass, and sat in silence. "What do we do?"
"Ask it a question."
"You!" Jess laughed, but she didn't have to.
The glass flew out from under their fingers and smashed on the wall. Both of them shut their eyes and screamed.
When they opened their eyes, everything was a mess. The drawers were on the floor, and wardrobe was open with the contents spilled on the floor, and then Nick, Zoe, and Linda rushed in.
"Whats going on?!" Zoe exclaimed, seeing the mess. Jess and Britney were just sitting there in shock, putting their hair back into place. "What happened?"
Nick walked over and picked up the board.
"Where did you get this?" Nick asked them. "Where did you get it?"
"There." Jess pointed. "It was loose."
"Did you do anything with it?"
"We were going to..." Jess admitted. "But then before we could, the glass flew at the wall!"
"Now thats just stupid." Zoe said.
"Its true!" Jess and Britney exclaimed. "I didn't see what happened next. I just shut my eyes, and then opened them, and everything was a mess!"
"Really?" Nick asked.
"Yes!" Jess said. "Look on the camera if its on."
"I will." Nick smiled. He might actually have some footage.
They all went downstairs, and everyone else was there.
"You okay?" Sam asked them both, seeing them both pale.
"Yes... " Jess sighed with wide eyes. Sam smiled at her but she didn't smile back. She went straight to her dad who was at the computer.
He played back the footage, and sure enough, the girls were telling the truth. Even Nick was a little bit freaked out.
"Zo?" He called around the corner.
"Yeah?" She sighed.
"You might want to see this..." Nick said.
"Not now." Zoe shook her head.
"Ill look!" Lenny said, jumping up.
"Me too.." Sam smiled at Zoe, excited to see what it was, and they weren't disappointed.
"Oh my god." Sam said, and put her arm around Jess while she looked at the screen. Lenny was enjoying himself.
"Wow." Lenny said, and laughed. "That is creepy."
"Whats creepy?" Zoe asked, sighing, and Nick played it again.
Zoe was dumbfounded. She couldn't pass this off as anything else. She was shocked, and she looked from Jess to Britney. Both of them looked spooked.
"You sure you are alright?" Sam asked them again, seeing them both still pale.
"Yeah." Jess whispered and cleared her throat. "Yeah." Britney nodded.
"Scared me though!" Britney said, and smiled at Jess who smiled back.
"And me." Jess smiled.
"Come on." Nick said. "Ill give you a hand and put everything back."
They walked upstairs, and were surprised with what they saw.
There was no mess. Everything was in its rightful place.
