I do not own Ghost Hunt

Chapter 3 ~ First Victim

We checked everyone to see if they were injured or not. That was when Naru suggested to Blake we go back to base to check the footage. Mr. Haring and Davis went back their rooms but Ms. Faye and Professor Ferrara went with us.

Finn sat down, rewinding the footage just now recorded. As he did so, Naru asked Ms. Faye couple of questions as he would usually do. "Tell us, Ms. Faye, what did it feel like?"

She tilted her head. "It felt like, my hand was being yanked around by the pen." she covered her mouth. "It was almost like if I let go, the pen would just fly away."

"Stop." Naru's sharp voice rang out. "Rewind it back to fifty-three seconds and then play it frame by frame." Finn rapped on the keyboard. The images appeared in reverse and the piece of paper appeared back on the table."

"What is it?"

"That paper." Naru pointed to it as the paper slowly floated down. It was blank. But, until it hit the ground was when the blood drenched words appeared.

Susan gasped taking a step back. "There wasn't anything on it until it hit the floor."

Kaitlyn muffled her mouth, clenching her stomach. "Kaitlyn," I guided her to a chair. "what's wrong?"

"I'm sorry," she coughed. "I just don't feel so well right now."

"Lets go to our room."

"Susan can you please go with them." Naru demanded.

"I can take her by myself." I assured.

"I don't think so." Naru snapped. I grimaced.

"Okay." Susan helped Kaitlyn up, walking toward our room.

Kaitlyn got undressed from her dress into her dragonfly pajamas. She covered herself under the blankets immediately after. Susan headed straight for the shower leaving me alone with her. "How are you feeling?" I couldn't help but ask.

"Better." she replied. "You couldn't smell that?"

"Smell what?"

"Blood."

"You smelled blood again?"

"Yes," her faced turned paler that it's original paleness. "it was as if my clothes and hair were drenched in it. It was appalling."

"Just like when we first arrived." I muttered.

She nodded. "Except this time it has gotten much worse since the séance began."

I stared at her. "Maybe the spirit has a certain stench to it. Like the one a Hillcrest High."

This is genuinely weird. Kaitlyn and I rarely ever talk like this. In fact, truth be told, we've never had a nice long conversation. I always thought it was because she doesn't like me. After all, I am the one who is around Naru almost 24/7 and she has been trying to date him since the first day we met.

Kaitlyn lifted her head. "What do you think, Marti?" her voice smooth and low.

"Huh?"

"Aren't you sensing any spirits?"

"Why are you asking me?"

"Because apparently the last case we were on, you saw the same apparition that I did." She stuck her nose in the air.

"Oh," I lowered my head, remembering the vision of Shaun Lucas being devoured by the large red orb. "Yea that was crazy. I haven't been having any of those dreams lately though."

That's right. After the case at Hillcrest High, Naru gave me a test with guessing what shape is behind the cards and some other guessing game. But, in the end he had said I have latent psychic abilities and everyone was there for it too. So, I'm now officially a latent psychic. Not professional either.

Susan returned from her shower dressed in a pale green night gown. "Well," she said drying her hair with a towel. "it seems you two are getting along."

"You must be joking," Kaitlyn infuriated the line. "clearly someone like me does not associate with someone like that."

So that's why she never talks to me.

"Excuse me?" I stood. "Why do you hate me so much?" I nearly shouted.

"I don't know." she shrugged. "maybe because you're breathing."

I brought my head back. "I'll breath on you, you creep." I took a pillow throwing it at her face.

Susan sighed. "That's great. You guys are really on your way to being best friends." she muttered in sarcasm.

"I'll never be friends with her." Kaitlyn and I both said, pointing at each other. Kaitlyn shoved the covers under her. "I'm going to bed." she declared.

This is such redundant nonsense. I was about to wake her up when Susan said a line that caught me off guard. "You both get along so well."

Whatever. I huffed to my bed in the middle of the room. I fell asleep right away.

The very next morning all three of us walked to base. We said good morning to Finn as he passed by us, ignoring our greetings. I then heard the sudden cry of Professor Ferrara.

"Are you sure you haven't seen Angela?" Professor Ferrara cried.

I walked in seeing Riley and Blake comforting Professor Ferrara. Drake stood two steps away so I decided to ask him.

"What's going on?" I whispered to him.

"It seems Ms. Faye went missing." he sullenly said.

"What?" I said breathlessly. Riley and Blake sat her in a chair as she cried it out.

Blake patted the older woman's back. "Please calm down Mrs. Ferrara."

"When did you last see her?" Naru pried.

"It was around daybreak." she verified. "I woke up briefly to use the restroom and saw her here sound asleep."

"Do you remember what time it was?" She shook her head. "What time did you get up?"

"Around seven."

Drake check his wrist watch. "Okay, so it's about ten. We can at least say she's been missing for the last three hours."

Mr. Walker barged in. "Sorry to keep you waiting. I questioned the staff asking if they saw her early this morning or last night and it appears none of them have. I also checked the front door and it's locked so…"

"So we can probably assume she didn't walk out." Blake finished for him.

Professor Ferrara buried her face in her hands. "Angela has terrible eyesight I know for a fact she wouldn't go anywhere without her contacts." She reached into her shirt pocket taking out a contact case.

"Hey." an idea sprung from my head. "I think Dr. Davis might be able to help. After all, he was able to find that millionaires son, right?" I looked at Drake for clarity.

The professor perked up. "Really?"

As on queue, Mr. Haring walked in with Oliver Davis and assistant. "Professor Ferrara," Mr. Haring said. "I heard about what happened and if there is anything we can help you with just ask."

She stood. "Yes. I want to know if Dr. Davis can perform psycometry. Maybe he can find her. This contact case is the only thing she left behind." She handed him the contact case.

He politely accepted it with a grudging expression. "Of course." He took it to Dr. Davis who was sitting on the couch. "Dr. Davis."

He took the object, closing his eyes, concentrating. After, a few moments, he shook his head 'no.'

"I'm afraid he is unable to sense anything from this item." Mr. Haring shrugged.

"Why not?" she panicked.

"It's something that belongs to her though." I said loud enough for everyone to hear.

"The doctor is limited." Mr. Haring quickly said. "He can only utilize an object that was with the person at the time they went missing."

Professor Ferrara cried. "Oh no."

"So what your saying is," I started rampaging. "is that we should just look for something she dropped at the scene of the crime?"

"Look little girl," he barked. "I unfortunately don't make the rules. Has anyone considered that the séance yesterday traumatized the girl and she simply went home?" he smiled. "Young people these days don't seem to have much staying power."

"Excuse me?"

"You may be right." Professor said before I could say more. "thanks for your help anyway."

Blake touched her shoulder. "Don't worry Professor Ferrara, we will still search to see if we find anything."

I know that Ms. Faye didn't just 'Leave the premises'. There something fishy about that Dr. Davis man. Their hiding something and I know it for a fact.

Heyyyy! Enjoy enjoy enjoy! I'll update soon! Hey guys the next case I want to make up my own and I was wondering if any of your can give me ideas on what do you want it to be!

What would you like to see between Naru and Marti 3 etc! Tell me I will most likely put it in!
