Chapter 25
Harry POV
The man went to grab me again and I sighed, at least I was a lot quicker than him. I moved out the way and made ice grow around his legs to stick him to the floor. "Why are you resisting? The afterlife is better and it is your destiny!" the man shouted, simply stepping through of the ice and I shook my head. "I control my own destiny, nobody controls me!" I shouted and shot another load of energy through him. He fell to the ground and I ran towards the door but it wouldn't let me through. "Danny! Dougie! Tom! The door won't open! Break it!" I shouted then turned back to the man who was standing again.
Tom POV
After jumping out of the room and not seeing Harry next to me, I wanted to go back straight away, but something was stopping me! The portals around us became active which let people through with monsters by their sides. "You're harbouring a ghost that isn't meant to be in this world!" a woman shouted at us. "Screw you! He can be where he wants to be!" I said then fired electricity through the crowd of people. Danny grabbed Dougie then stood in front of me, his body glowing. "I'll cut us a path, just make sure that they don't get up!" Danny shouted then waved his arm to the side, making the handful of people fly through the air and into the nearest wall. I needed something that would kill ghosts! Instantly I thought of Ghostbusters and smiled to myself. A gun appeared in my hands and I knew what to do with it. I ghost lunged for Dougie and I shot it. The ghost wailed out before it appeared to be torn apart.
We got through the crowd and arrived at the door which had a dull grey surrounding it. "Danny! Dougie! Tom! The door won't open! Break it!" I heard Harry shout then turned my gun into a hammer. I smashed it into the door but was pushed back by a force, I tumbled backwards and towards the railing of the staircase. "Tom!" Dougie shouted then grabbed my hand, allowing me to regain my balance. "That was close" I sighed. "Yeah, be careful" Dougie smiled and I nodded. Danny walked up to the door and threw fire at it, the door glowed but nothing happened. "Fine, if that's how you wanna be!" he said and balls of all different elements appeared around him. He gave a hand gesture and all rammed the door at the same time and the door blew up, splinters flying in all directions.
Harry was backed against a wall looking exhausted, the man in the room with him was closing in. I forced all the loose objects apart from the star wars collectibles to fly into the air and collapse in towards the man. He was buried quickly and I grabbed Harry's hand. "We gotta get out of here" I said and the others nodded. We all dashed for the front door but one of the monsters jumped in front of us then jumped at Danny while his back was turned towards a different monster. Dougie opened a window and the monster fell through it. The others ran out the front door and I grabbed Luna's orb before popping out the house to join them. "Where are we going to go?" I asked and Danny smiled at us. "I'm gonna tell my mum about us" he said. There was silence between the four of us. I didn't know if it was a safe thing to do, thinking about what happened to Dougie's family when they had that secret to bear. Would we be able to protect them? There must be some sort of reinforcement field we can surround the house with!
We knocked at Danny's door and his mum opened up. "Danny, I see you have friends round… Where's Harry these days?" she smiled. "Erm, he's a bit under the weather" he replied and she nodded. "Well, I hope he gets better soon" We all went upstairs and fell onto the sofa that he had in his room. "When should I tell her?" he asked and everyone's eyes fell on me, making me nervous. "I don't know if she needs to, we can just put a field around the house to protect it" I said and they all smiled at me. "Tom! You're a genius!" Danny grinned then pulled me into a hug. "Thanks, I just hope it works until we can figure out what to do with Luna"
