Chp 7 Sleep Tight.

Moseby had tried to stop Cody as he rushed out the room and through the corridors. Cody couldn't think of anything else other then Bailey and Zack. That scream was terrifying and something bad was going on. He started to regret leaving them, and London. He would never forgive himself if something happened to one of them. He needed to get there, and fast. Woody and Moseby chased after him and followed him into the room. Zack was sprawled on the floor, London was knelt beside him. Bailey was stood in the middle of the room. She looked pale and frozen in place.

"What happened?" Cody asked as he rushed in and went to Bailey.

"I........I don't know." She said. The two hugged and Moseby and Woody knelt down beside Zack.

"We were stood together and all of a sudden it went cold. Bailey screamed and when I tried to go to her, she pushed me down." Zack explained.

"Zack.....I am sorry. I was.........." Bailey said.

"Why did you scream Bailey?" Moseby asked.

"I don't know. I just felt weird and cold." She said. Cody held onto her tightly and she buried her head in his chest. He pulled her close in a sweet reassuring way.

"Weird how?" Moseby asked.

"I am not sure. I felt like I was here but I was also outside my body watching myself and you guys. It wasn't me who pushed you down Zack, I would never do that."

"I know you wouldn't." Zack replied.

"She must have been possessed." Woody said.

"I don't think that is the case Woody." Moseby said. The others all looked to him and then Woody but were all thinking that exact thing.

"I don't know about anyone, but I want to get out of here." Zack said. "First Cody goes wandering and now Bailey."

"I agree something is going on but we can't go anywhere. It's nearly 3am and the storm is still strong out there." Moseby said as he and Woody helped Zack to stand and helped him to the bed.

"Maybe we should all get some sleep. Things will look better in the morning." London suggested. The group looked at her in shock. "What?"

"A good idea coming from you London." Cody said. "Its rare."

"Like me." She replied.

"You think it's safe to go to sleep?" Woody asked.

"Yes, despite all the weird goings on, there are no ghosts." Moseby said.

"What about Adam? Did you find him?" Zack asked.

"No we didn't." Woody replied.

"But get this, we heard music and found a flute in a room." Cody said.

"Adam could have been listening to music." Bailey suggested.

"Maybe. But where exactly is he?" Zack asked.

"This is a big castle, he could be anywhere. I say we rest and wait until morning." Moseby suggested. The group all said their goodnights and headed back to their rooms. Cody helped Zack to settle in his bed and got into his own.

"No more wandering okay." Zack said.

"I'll try not to." Cody said. He looked to the door as he got into his bed. Zack knew what his brother was thinking.

"She is going to be fine." Zack said.

"I hope so. Something isn't right and I hate to leave her."

"We are next door and London is in the room with her. She is fine. Try and get some sleep." Zack said.

"You too." Cody said. They turned over in their beds and attempted to go to sleep.

Woody and Moseby escorted the girls back to their room. Moseby checked on Addison in a neighbouring room and found her safe and sound. He then said goodnight to the girls and instructed them to stay together. London and Bailey sat on their beds, talking about the noises.

"We all heard it London, no one is going crazy." Bailey said.

"I am just saying. Who knows what goes on with those boys. They like to play pranks."

"Well whatever made me scream like that had nothing to do with Cody or Zack. It was different. Weird."

"And that is you all over." London said.

"No, I felt something, I felt cold and then like I was out of my body and then I felt like I was alone. So strange. Maybe that is why I screamed." Bailey said.

"Well I don't know about that but I do know I need my beauty sleep. A face like this doesn't happen by itself." London said.

"You are right.........about the sleep not your.......face. We should go to bed." Bailey said. The girls settled down and attempted to go to sleep. Bailey couldn't help but toss and turn. She was having dreams that didn't make sense. She could see Cody and a lady together. They were stood in the hallways of the castle laughing at something. Looking towards her, but she knew it couldn't be her. She tossed and turned as she saw strange images, an ornamental owl, red symbols. None of it made sense. Once again she saw Cody and the lady. Both looked as pale as sheep and looking at her. She started to feel cold and wasn't sure if it was a dream or if she was actually cold. She opened her eyes slowly. All of a sudden she thought she could see something in front of her, a light. She looked up and tried to blink away the white glow in front of her. It didn't go away. Bailey tried to get up but felt herself pinned to her bed. She tried again but didn't move. She looked around and noticed something stood over her. Not something, someone. The white mist looked like a person. It was leaning over the bed, watching her. This wasn't a dream, Bailey thought. She tried to scream but the white mist formed over her face and she found that she couldn't speak. She tried hard but she just couldn't make a sound. She hoped London would wake up but knew it was impossible, that girl would sleep through a war. She got colder as the mist moved around her. She could see a face, a lady. All of a sudden she felt a wind go through her. She felt at peace, but afraid. And she felt her self screaming. Loud.
