I picked it up and read it, mouthing the words as I went along.

'Dear Diary, Friday July 17th

I am so worried for Rosalie. She seems to be acting strange lately. I thought that maybe it was having all of us in the house, even though it will only be for a short time, but when I asked her about it she said no. I think she is getting better though. When I asked her what was bothering her she asked me to help her pick out a dress for the ball. It's only a few day away, so I was surprised she didn't ask me sooner. She told me that she had it narrowed down to a few dresses but she could really use my help for the final decision. On a happier note, Jonathan asked me to go to the ball with him. Even though it was clear we were going together in the first place, it was nice of him to ask. I really hope that things keep going smoothly with us. Not just him and I but all of us. Evan and Bethany are supposed to be married soon, Ethan and Rosalie are engaged. I a, so looking forward to the next few months. Maybe Bethany will ask me for help with her wedding dress.

Lots of love,

Aylssa.'

I was in complete shock by the words on the page, yes written in script. I noticed that her touch was lighter softer than the last. It shocked me at what a difference it was.

I knew I had to tell Rosalie about this.

I took both letters and walked to her room.

I knocked on the door and she answered almost immediately.

"What?" she asked, obviously suprised by the fat that I came to speak to her.

"I found this, I thought maybe that the two of us could plot against the ghost, maybe trick them or something."

"Do you really think that will work?" she scoffed.

"Well, I'm sorry I don't have much experience with ghosts."

"Not that, I mean do you really think that including me in anything at this point is a good idea?"

"Of course why wouldn't it be, you have a more munipulaing mind than any of us do."

"That might be true, but if you've read either of these letters you know that I am destined to kill you all. I can't be around any of you. If you find a way out of here let me know." she shut the door.

"Rosalie, we need you. If you don't help we could al die anyways and isn't it better to die trying than to not try at all?"

"I'd rather not die period."

"Well you let me know okay?"

"Fine." she said and I walked away.


I thought about what Alice had said. Maybe she was right, if I told Edward we could probably think of a solution together. But I wasn't sure if I wanted to make him that unhappy.

Right now we were in the living room, thinking of ways to get out.

"What if we break a window?" Emmett said.

"No, no windows." I said. I had already tried to open some of them. None of them would open below the third level, which was too far up to jump from.

"Then what if we broke the door down." Jasper said.

"You think that if windows aren't going to work then doors will." Edward said.

"I don't know Edward I'm just putting it out there." he said and I could tell that he was frustrated.

"Hey, this is the worst time to get snappy now can we all civilly sit down and discuss this?"

"Fine, but Rose should be here."

"Rose won't come down." I heard from the corner and turned to see Alice.

"She's mad at me, sorry." she looked at me as she said it, and her eyes stayed on me until Emmett tried to pass her.

"Alright I'll go deal with her."

"I wouldn't," she looked up at him. "She just needs to be alone right now."

"Why is she okay?" he asked worried.

"Yeah, but really, just leave her alone if you want her to be alright."

"Okay." he said, sounding a little unconvinced.

She looked back at me and I nodded.

"Good, well. I have to go, uh, actually Jasper will you come with me?"

"Sure." he said with out questioning her. They went up the stairs and I knew that she would tell him about the letters and what not.

"I'm going to go check on Rose, if she's mad we all might die.' Emmett laughed then went upstairs.

"Edward," I said as I faced him, sitting on his lap.

"Yes?"

"I know this isn't a prank, Emmett wouldn't take it this far."

"Bella you know Emmett, he always takes things too far."

"Yeah, but if Rose was truly upset he would tell us all, besides does he think keeping you from your honeymoon is a good idea?"

"Bella, trust me we'll be out of here by tomorrow morning."

"Edward if this was a prank you would have stopped it hours ago. You wouldn't be this go with the flow about it."

"Bella, please. I promise-"

"No, you lied. You told me that it was all fake, you would have stopped it the second I got hurt, and then when the lights went out. Trust me you don't know half the things that have gone on here tonight, but I can tell you that not all them have been exactly peachy."

"What do you mean Bella please if you know then you need to tell me."

"I can't."


I sat in my room and I knew that I shouldn't be crying. I knew that crying wouldn't help anything at this point.

"RRRooooooooooooooossalllllllllllllllllllllllllllie." I heard from the corner.

"Who's there?" I asked, I whipped my head around so fast that my pony tail almost hit my face.

"Heeeellllllppp!" I heard another voice call, a different on a panicked one.

"I'll help you, I just need to see you. Can you let me know that you're here?"

I saw the window open.

"Who are you?" I asked trying to make my voice as gentle as possible.

I saw the letter 'A' appear on the wall, in scarlet sparkles.

"Alyssa, right?"

I heard a knock on the wall, which I took as a yes.

"What do you need? I'll help you but you need to tell me how I can."

No response.

"Don't be scared, I won't hurt you. Can I see you, it might help me understand?" I started to move off my bed toward the corner.

The window shut and I saw a shadow like figure appear in the corner where the 'A' had once been. I waited a few moments before I saw her.

"Alyssa?" I asked.
