Chp 11. Amnesia?
The others had found the room above the library and had gone inside to investigate. It was a children's play room. Old toys and books lined the walls and covered the floors. The room was old and looked like it was stuck in a time warp. Photos of families were on the walls, a dolls house sat in the corner.
"Woah, no Xbox?" Woody asked.
"This room looks like it hasn't been touched in decades Woody, Xbox wasn't around back then." Cody said.
"Look at this place. Why do you think it has been left like this?" Addison asked.
"Lazy maids?" London replied.
"Maybe the family still had young children when they left the castle and no one had the heart to change it." Moseby said.
"Or it could be part of the Castle tour." Addison suggested.
"This is so cool. Bailey would love to see this." Cody said. He walked over and looked at a doll on the bed. Mr Moseby went over to the other corner.
"Look at this old train track, its immaculate." Moseby said.
"Can we play?" Woody said as the group stood near Moseby.
"No!" Cody and Moseby called together.
"I think I have found what fell over." Addison said. She was stood over a piled of books and broken wood.
"A book shelf?" London asked.
"Seems to be. It must have fallen over." Cody said.
"What about the flute music?" Addison said.
"Maybe from the room we found the flute in." Cody suggested. The group decided to head back to the room and were walking through the halls when they heard a scream. Cody looked at Moseby. They recognised the voice.
"Zack!" Cody yelled. He ran through the halls and down the large steps leading to the bottom level. "Zack!" Cody called trying to get his brother to answer but there was no reply. The others raced after Cody, afraid of what they might find.
"Cody, wait." Moseby called. But Cody ignored him. He ran to the door of the library and tried to open it. It was locked.
"Zack? Bailey?" He called. The others helped bang on the door but no one replied.
"Are we sure they are still in there?" London asked.
"They wouldn't leave with telling us." Cody said. "Zack!" He banged on the door.
"We need to get in. Woody, see if there is something to bang the door down." Moseby said. Woody raced off.
"Bailey, Zack." The group called as they banged on the door. Inside the room, Zack was laying unconscious on the floor. The sound of banging and screaming woke him up. He opened his eyes and realised his head hurt. He brought his hands up to his head and touched blood as it trickled down.
"Zack!" He heard from behind the door. He felt dizzy and was in pain but he could make out the voice calling to him.
"Cody?" Zack managed to call.
"Oh my god. Zack, open the door. Are you guys okay?" Cody called through the door.
"Cody." Zack called again. He tried to stand but the pain in his ankle was too much and he fell down. "Help!"
"We need to get in there." Cody said. "Zack, is Bailey in there?"
"No." Cody heard Zack faintly say. Woody returned to the group with a hammer. He handed it to Moseby who started to hammer on the door knob and catch. After a few bangs the door splintered and started to give way at the catch. Moseby and Woody used their shoulders and banged against the door. It swung open. Cody pushed past them and rushed to Zack who was laying on the floor. Cody leant down to help his brother.
"Are you okay?" He asked. He noticed the bruise and blood on the side of Zack's head.
"Looks like he was attacked." Moseby said.
"Where's Bailey?" London asked. Cody helped Zack to sit up.
"She............" Zack started to say.
"Maybe she went looking for us when she couldn't get back in the room." Woody suggested.
"Zack what happened?" Cody asked Zack looked to his brother. "Who hurt you?"
"Bailey............it was Bailey." Zack said.
Cody helped Zack up and stepped back from his brother. He couldn't believe what he had said. Accusing his girlfriend of doing this. She could never hurt anyone.
"No way." Cody said.
"Yes Codester. It's the truth I promise you. But it wasn't Bailey." Zack said while Mr Moseby was checking his head. Zack winced as he touched the cut.
"It was but it wasn't. Do you have amnesia?" Asked London.
"No what I mean is, yes Bailey did this to me, but she wasn't herself. She was talking weird, it wasn't her in control." Zack said. "She was strong and mad."
"Where is she?" Cody asked.
"I don't know. She tried to stab me and she hit me, that is when I blacked out. She must have run off." Zack said.
"What was she saying?" Cody asked.
"Stuff about an Ed, and lovers and payback. She didn't make sense and she was freaky." Zack said.
"She has run off again, you really need to keep an elastic on that girl." London said.
"She was probably scared." Cody said. "Afraid of what she was doing."
"Are we going to search this castle again?" Woody asked.
"We have to. We need to find her." Cody said.
"Why did she attack you like that?" Moseby asked.
"The ghost must be controlling her. She wouldn't attack Zack." Cody said.
"We know that Cody. What was she doing before she went after you?" Moseby asked Zack.
"Looking at the scrapbook again. Apparently the missing girl was nicknamed Chance." Zack said.
"That would explain this." Woody said. The group turned to where Woody was pointing. The back of the door had the name Chance scratched in the wood.
"That wasn't there when we left." Addison pointed out.
"She is trying to get a message across to us and she is using Bailey to do it. We have to find her." Cody said.
"But what type of message? She attacked Zack. What does that say?" Moseby said.
"We look like Ed and David and Zack said she mentioned Ed. She hates them, maybe she thinks Zack was Ed." Cody said.
"Which would lead her to attack Zack, but Bailey was in the lounge when the kettle went crazy." London said.
"That could have been the ghost working by herself. She must be inhabiting Bailey when she needs her." Cody said.
"The sooner we get Bailey and you two out of here the better." Moseby said.
Bailey had ran as fast as she could through the halls and rooms of the castle. From the moment she had left the library Bailey had become herself again. But she was scared. She had hurt Zack and knew Cody would be angry.
She couldn't face them, or the others. She had no idea what was going on with her. Going from normal Kettlecorn girl Bailey to crazy Bailey in minutes scared her. She couldn't understand what had made her turn on Zack, she could only remember standing over the unconscious Zack and then running from the library, locking the door behind her. It was the Bailey side of her that had done that.
She would have helped him. Something had made her do that and that frightened her. She could do it again to Zack, to Cody. She didn't want to hurt anyone. She had found herself in a room with music instruments and was drawn to the flute on the floor. Cody had mentioned a flute and the group had heard the sound of a flute playing. She was drawn to the instrument and had walked into the room.
She picked it up and started to play. She couldn't play, so how was she able to play the lovely tune she was playing. Bailey felt something come over her, a power she couldn't control. She carried on playing the notes. The images of the twins came into her mind and she felt hatred and love. She didn't understand them. She didn't hate the twins. She carried on playing.
