The Haunting of Mal (Mike's Story)

Chapter 9

Hello everyone, welcome to chapter 9. I know one fan is getting concerned that Chris is being nice so here is the answer; I think he learned his lesson for running everyone's lives. Back to the story. Let's get to it.

On the boat, Zoey, Cameron, the personalities, Chris and Chef were on their way to save Mike from Mal. As they boat keeps moving. Svetlana looks through her telescope and sees the castle.

SVETLANA – We are almost there.

ZOEY – (gets excited) SERIOUSLY?!

SVETLANA – Yep.

As everyone cheers, Zoey prays up in the sky.

ZOEY – (prays) THANK YOU! THANK YOU! Mike, we are here!

Meanwhile, in the castle, Mal looks through his telescope and notices that Mike's friends have already arrived.

MAL – Perfect, 15 minutes left and they have arrived. (Gets off is seat and walks down to his hiding place).

Meanwhile, the boat arrives on the island. As everyone gets off, Chris thinks of a plan.

CHRIS – Ok, here's the plan. Svetlana, Vito, Chester, Manitoba, Chef and I will find Mal and destroy him.

The personalities start to shake.

SVETLANA – Us? Finding Mal?

MANITOBA – Are you sure mate?

CHRIS – Yes, let's just do it!

VITO – He's in charge.

CHESTER – Alright ladies, let's get this guy!

SVETLANA – Ok.

CHRIS – Zoey and Cameron, go find Mike and grab him.

ZOEY – Got it!

CAMERON – Ok, let's go.

As everyone opens the door of the castle, they split up. Zoey and Cameron walk upstairs to find Mike. As they looked room to room, they hear crying from the door behind them.

CAMERON – Should we knock?

ZOEY – Let's make sure. (Knocks the door) Mike, its Zoey.

CAMERON – And Cameron.

ZOEY – Are you in there?

Inside the door, Mike hears Zoey and Cameron through the door. He stops crying, gets up and runs through the door.

MIKE – Yes, it's me. Mal locked me in here. You got to get me out of here before Mal gets back.

ZOEY – Gets back to what?

MIKE – To kill me, please get me out of here!

ZOEY – Ok, stand back Cameron.

CAMERON – Ok! (Stands back)

ZOEY – Mike, stand back.

MIKE – Why?

ZOEY – Because I'm going to break through the door.

MIKE – Ok. (Stands back)

As Mike and Cameron stand back, Zoey kicks the door and the door breaks through the window. Mike comes out of his room in excitement.

MIKE – (hugs and kisses Zoey) thank you, Zoey!

ZOEY – (hugs back) you're welcome!

MIKE – (gives Cameron a high five) thank you Cam!

CAMERON – Good to have you alive, buddy.

MIKE – Speaking of alive, let's get out of here before Mal catches me and kills me.

As Mike, Zoey and Cameron run downstairs, they see Chris, Chef and the personalities getting captured by Mal. Zoey looks up and notices a gallon of gasoline and matches.

ZOEY – You guys stay here. (Walks upstairs)

CAMERON – Where are you going, Zoey?

ZOEY – I got a plan.

MIKE – What are you doing? Mal is going to catch us any minute.

ZOEY – I got that handled.

Then, Mal turns around and notices that Mike is out of his room.

MAL – Going somewhere, I wouldn't hear of it. My kinda party is just beginning.

EVERYONE (except for Zoey, Mike, Mal and Cameron) – (scared) Mike?!

Mike starts to get scared. Then, Cameron looks up and notices that Zoey had a gallon of gasoline and matches. He also notices that she is pouring the gasoline all around Mal's castle. Then, he turns back to Mal.

CAMERON – I'm not letting you hurt anybody!

MAL – How are you going to stop me, you little nerd ling?

CAMERON – (points up) that.

Everyone looks up and notices that Zoey had a match. Zoey lits the match with a lighter.

MAL – (yells) NO! DON'T YOU DARE TOUCH THAT, ZOEY! NO!

As Zoey puts the match on the gasoline, the fire rapidly grew. Zoey jumps and runs back to Mike and Cameron.

ZOEY – Let's go!

As everyone leaves the burning castle, Mal runs upstairs and jumps onto their boat. Everyone opens the door and ran for the boat. Then, Mal started the boat and drove away.

MAL – So long suckers! (Evilly laughs and leaves)

Mike starts to run for the boat.

MIKE – (gets angry and runs) OH NO YOU DON'T!

ZOEY – Mike, what are you doing?

MIKE – Stopping Mal from taking the boat.

As Mike starts to run, he jumps into the water and swims for the boat but the boat keeps moving away as Mal notices it. As Mike keeps swimming, the boat moves faster. Then, the boat suddenly disappears. As Mike notices that the boat was gone, he yells for the boat.

MIKE – (taking deep breaths) MAL, GET BACK HERE AT ONCE! (No response) Mal?! (Still no response)

As there was no response, he realized that the boat was gone. Mike swims back to the island where everyone was waiting. They ran over to the dock and grabbed Mike out of the water. They rest him on the dock and they comfort him.

ZOEY – You ok, Mike?!

MIKE – Yes.

ZOEY – Does anyone have a towel?!

CAMERON – Got one. (Grabs a towel from Chef and wraps it over Mike). Ok Mike, let's rest for the night and we will stop Mal from wherever he is going.

MIKE – Ok, hopefully.

3 hours later in the evening, everyone was sleeping around the beach around a campfire that they made. Mike and Zoey were still awake, sitting on the sand and watching the stars. As they were counting the stars, they started to talk.

MIKE – Zoey?

ZOEY – Yes, Mike?

MIKE – I just want to thank you for saving me from Mal and burning down the castle.

ZOEY – No problem. What happened in there, exactly?

MIKE – After they took me to the room, one of the guards pushed me in there and Mal started to threaten me.

ZOEY – Threaten you to what?

MIKE – He threatened to kill me because I strangled him in the throat. He had a timer and a TV monitor. The timer was a 24 hour timer; he flipped it over because he wanted to kill me after what I did to him in the next 24 hours. Then, he had a TV monitor where he showed me you and everyone else battling in front of the guards. Then, your boat exploded. (Started to tear up) I thought you guys were dead.

ZOEY – (comforts Mike) its okay, Mike.

MIKE – (tears in his eyes) I was scared. Then, the TV monitor showed yourself calling for you but then, Mal tricked me thinking that it was you. It was just a memo. I was doomed and I thought my life was over until you guys found me.

Then, Zoey and Mike stand up and start to hug and kiss each other, which makes Mike feel happy and stops crying.

ZOEY – Everything will be alright, Mike.

MIKE – I bet it will.

ZOEY – Tomorrow morning, we will find Mal and destroy him. We can win this.

MIKE – Ok.

ZOEY – (yawns) I'm tired.

MIKE – (yawns) me too. Let's go to sleep.

ZOEY – Yeah, good night Mike. (Sits and lays down on her sleeping bag).

MIKE – Good night.

As Zoey starts to go to sleep, Mike sits and lays down on his sleeping bag and looks up in the sky.

MIKE – I hope everything works out well.

Then, he starts to go to sleep.

To be continued…

At least Mike is safe but Mal escaped! Let's find out what happens on Chapter 10 soon.
