*Ashley's POV*

Chris and I had went back to the lodge and looked for Sam and Imigie. We first decided that we would check for Sam in the bathroom.

"Dammit!"

She wasn't in the bathroom. We knew that possibly Imigie could be in Hannah's room. Chris and I went to check there to see if she was there.

"Fuck!"

She wasn't in there but I noticed that her clothes were lying on Hannah's bed and a note.

"Is this one of Josh's pranks?" I asked Chris, showing him the note.

"He probably wrote this before what happened at the shed," he replied.

But there was something else on the note that I saw. I took out my phone to check out the time.

The note read it was 1:30 am when Josh had died about an hour before that. This didn't sound right.

"Didn't Josh die like an hour before?" I wondered. "This doesn't seem right."

Chris stroked his face in utter confusion. I knew he was thinking the same thing.

The note could have been fake. Shaking my head, we walked out of Hannah's room and went downstairs to find Sam and Imigie.

"Ugh, where can they be?" I asked.

Chris shrugged as we walked downstairs.

"I haven't seen them," he said.

"I haven't seen them either," I said worriedly.

We decided to go down to the basement. Maybe they both went down there but we didn't completely know.

We were about to pass by a dresser but suddenly, a candle that was there lit up, on its own. I screamed when this happened. This place felt haunted.

"Did that just happen?" I asked.

"Dammit, what is going on around here?" Chris seemed to echo my thoughts.

My blood turned cold and I was beginning to feel terrified. This lodge was nice and safe but now it's haunted? I had a very bad feeling about this.

"Chris?" I asked him.

"Sa- What?" he wondered.

I went downstairs to try to find Sam and Imigie.

"Chris I just want to say what happened back there in the shed... I know how hard that was... Josh was your friend."

"Ashley stop..."

"No, I want to say- I mean thank you- than you for saving my life-"

"Ash... What was I gonna do? I... I couldn't let anything happen to you... I couldn't."

We walked inside the cinema room. Could they have both went down here?

"Ash, you alright?" Chris asked.

"Yeah," I replied. "I just... I know you and Josh were close, Chris-"

"Let's just find Sam and Imigie, okay? That's what we're doing now."

"But I mean oh my god-"

"Ashley! Just stop, okay? I don't want to think about what just happened..."

"Chris-"

"We're finding Sam and Imigie."

We walked out of the cinema room then the door behind us shut on its own. I squealed when it happened.

"What the heck?" I said nervously.

We continued forward until there were two paths. One led to the door straight in front of us and another path led to a door to the left of us further down.

I decided to check the door in front of us, thinking that the door on the left was probably locked. I opened the door but the door shut on its own. I jumped and almost yelped when this happened.

"This is so eff-ed up," Chris admitted.

The fear inside of me continued to consume me. I was nearly at my fucking limit.

I went to go to the door on the left but when I was half way down the hall, the door opened by itself. I jumped when this happened, grabbed my chest, trying to protect myself from any kind of horrifying thing that would get to us.

I continued forward and walked into the next area then saw what appeared to be a white figure, like a ghost gliding across the hall. I gasped as I saw this.

I felt Chris bump into me but I remembered the ghost I saw and I had to ask him this.

"Wait a minute," I said. "Did you just see that?"

Chris looked confused. I just hoped he saw what I had saw.

"Uhh... Did I see what?" he pondered as we continued to walk slowly down the dark and ominous hallway.

"That, Chris. That!"

"What "that" was that?"

"It was like a see through shape. Like a ghost."

"Oh boy."

"I'm serious."

"Why don't you believe me?! I said I saw it, doesn't that count for anything?"

"Wait," Chris tried to stop me. "We've been through hell tonight. Okay? Your mind is fried. My mind is fried. I don't even trust what I've been seeing."

Was he kidding? I was far too sure that I had seen a ghost. Didn't I just see it earlier?

"No! You are wrong. I saw it. And I am sure, Chris!" I insisted.

Chris still didn't seem convinced but in his eyes, I could tell that he didn't want to argue about this any longer.

"Alright alright. Maybe... Maybe you did see something," he agreed reluctantly. "Let's just keep our heads. Okay?"

The fear continued building up inside of my mind and my entire body. I was definitely not sure what was happening anymore although I was sure about the ghost.

"Are we going crazy down here?" I cried fearfully.

"It's the only place left Sam and Imigie could be, Ash."

"I wish we could just go find everyone else and-"

"What if Sam needs us! What if she's in trouble? Or about Imigie? She could be alone with the maniac too."

"Oh god," I whimpered, burying my face in my hands.

I suddenly heard a door open by itself. What the heck?

"Let's go," Chris insisted.

I nodded and followed him down the stairs. Now this place seemed to be the basement. I heard a loud bang, causing me to jump and squeal.

I continued to walk down the hall behind Chris until another loud sound was heard. Chris backed away a bit and so did I.

"My god!" Chris shouted. "You gotta be kidding me!"

"What the hell is going on?" I wondered.

I squealed when I saw a rocking horse rock back and forth. Holy shit!

"Oh my god, that scared me," I said, placing my hand against my chest in fear.

"You knocked into it?" Chris asked.

"I don't know," I said timidly. "How did everything get so freaky around here? Doors slamming and candles lighting out of nowhere and that spector or whatever it was-"

"Ashley, I think you're kind of ignoring what's really happening here-"

"Don't tell me you didn't see that translucent white figure just passing right by us?"

"We... We could be seeing things-"

"I'm not imagining things," I insisted.

"Yeah, well I mean saw things too. I saw what happened to Josh in the shed. You know? And that's what I'm worried about!"

"Oh.." I groaned. "Chris. I know. I know."

"You know what I'm really worried about? Okay? I'm worried about Sam and Imigie. What happened to Sam? You know she could be all alone with the maniac. And Imigie too. She could be alone with the maniac. They could be dead too."

"Don't say that Chris," I said, trying to block the images out of my head.

I suddenly saw the ghost again. Not again! Chris has to see this.

"Wait! Chris! The ghost!"

"What?"

"Didn't you see it?"

"No," he answered.

I shook my head, already thinking about why Chris had yet to see it.

"You were looking at your phone, you dip!" I cried. "What are you tweeting? "Hashtag there's a freaking ghost after us?""

"Ash, calm down okay? There is no ghost here," he tried to reassure me but I knew in the back of my mind, it wasn't going to work. "Ghost of what? You're freaked out because of what happened with Josh."

I was the one mentioning that and I though he was done talking about it. Apparently, he wasn't done mentioning it.

"You're not paying attention," I insisted. "I saw it. I saw a ghost and it looked like Hannah! It looked like Hannah! Or maybe Beth!"

"What? Jesus Ash. What do you think they followed us here from the séance?"

"I don't know what! Maybe!"

"They didn't! Because ghosts don't exist, okay?"

Okay, Chris. I still have a crush on him but what he said went too far. Even Imigie who I've met over a year ago even mentioned that she saw ghosts. Should I tell him this?

"Okay, who was talking to us at the séance Chris?" I cried.

"I don't know," he answered.

We suddenly heard a scream. I yelped when I heard it.

Out of nowhere, a picture fell down to the wall. What the hell?

I screamed when I saw this happened. This was some freaky shit.

"What did that?" I asked.

"How does a picture just jump off the wall like that?"

We walked down then I saw something from the corner of my eye. It was a key. Cool!

My thoughts were interrupted when I saw the ghost again, already hoping that Chris saw it.
