Chapter 8
Scarlett heard some voices down the hallway. She immediately recognized one of the voices as Ella's. Relieved, she ran down the hallway to find her.
Oh Help! Someone Please Help! a hoarse voice called. Though a tad hesitant at first, Scarlett went to investigate. The room the voice had come from contained an old dusty couch, a brown shaggy carpet, a coffee table, windows with torn curtains, and in the middle was a rotting rocking chair with someone sitting in it.
Scarlett walked over only to find the person was a pile of pillows and blankets, and a voice box had been placed underneath. She quickly turned around and started running in hopes of escaping, but the door slammed in her face just as she got there.
"We have come to kill you for our master!"
Scarlett heard the clock chime four times, then stop. She turned just when a shining object flew right at her, lodging into her arm. Scarlett pulled the object out, it was a metal knitting needle, covered in her blood, and something else.
"Nothing can save you now, master will be pleased!"
Pain surged through her arm, then her middle, her legs, and her head. Feeling dizzy, she stumbled towards the couch, black spots blinding her vision. It became harder to breathe with every minute that passed. She closed her eyes for a moment, and when she opened them Everette was shaking her shoulders.
"Scarlett! you're awake!" Everette said happily.
"Scarlett, you look really pale, what...happened?" Ash asked in concern, sitting on the couch beside her.
Scarlett mumbled, pointing at Ash, "If I die...you're in charge."
"Who said you were going to die?" Ash said in concern.
"Can't breathe..."
"What happened?" asked Everette firmly.
"Needles..."
"Needles? what needles" asked Everette almost panicing.
Scarlett didn't respond, closing her eyes again.
Everette began shaking her again, "wake up!"
"Everette she's dying!" Ash said panicing.
Everette's heart began racing, he had no idea what to do, they had nothing!
"Don't die Scarlett!" he yelled.
Ash and Everette's voice started to slowly fade away until she couldn't hear anything anymore then all went black.
All the ghosts that were in the mansion laughed evilly.
Goodbye Scarlett...
