Chapter 14: Lost, Then Found and Then Lost Again
Mark M continues to think about what Elliot said and finally remembers the night they stayed in the abandoned house. He goes to that house and walks in. He hears someone crying. He goes to that room and sees Mike tied up. He unties Mike. Mike looks at him.
"You okay?" Mark M asked him.
Mike nods his head. Mike puts on his clothes except for his shirt that's ripped. Mike and Mark walk out of the house.
"Do you know where we are?" Mike then asked him.
"I hope so." Mark M replied.
"You hope so?" Mike then asked him worried.
Mike sits on the beach.
"Can't you call someone?" Mike then asked him.
"I left my cell phone at the house." Mark M replied sitting next to him.
"How long have you coming here?" Mike sighed.
"My whole life." Mark M commented.
"And you don't know where we are?" Mike then asked him.
"I haven't been in this area for nine years." Mark M told him.
"Why?" Mike then asked him.
"Because that house is haunted." Mark M then told him.
"It's not haunted." Mike smirked.
"It's a good thing I heard you crying." Mark M smiled.
"I wasn't crying." Mike told him.
"Yes, you were." Mark M then said to him.
"I had my socks shoved in my mouth and tape over my mouth I couldn't make a sound if I was screaming my head off." Mike told him.
"Then who was crying?" Mark M then asked him as they both looked back at the house.
When they look back at the house they see a boy Mike's age in the window. They look at each other and when they look back he's gone.
"Did you see that boy in the window?" Mark M asked Mike.
"Did you?" Mike then asked him.
"Yeah." Mark M gulped.
"Then I did too." Mike replied.
"Let's get away from that house." Mark M suggested.
"Good idea." Mike argeed as they got off of the sand and headed back towards Don's Beach House.
The sky gets blacker and the wind starts to pick up. Mike starts to shiver and Mark M gives him his hoody.
"Aren't you going to be cold?" Mike then asked putting on the hoody.
"I'll manage." Mark M replied shivering.
They walk around for an hour it starts to rain. They walk into a beach house.
"I wonder why this place was abandoned also?" Mark M asked Mike.
"Because this is the same house we started in." Mike replied as he sat on the floor.
"I knew it looked familar." Mark M laughed as he on the floor.
Mike sighs and places his head in his hand.
"I'm never seeing my family ever again." Mike then cried.
Mark M puts his arm around Mike and sighs. Mike buries his head in Mark M's shirt and starts to cry.
