The four teens walked cautiously up the rickety old stairs leading to the attic, where the noise had come from. They were all huddled in a tight group, afraid that something might be lurking in the shadows. The stairs creaked as the slowly walked up them. Finally they reached the top. "Someone open the door," Duo said softly. Relena turned the knob and pushed the door to reveal a small, dark room. In the corner was a small lit candle.

"Why is there a candle here? No one's lived here for at least a thousand years," she asked.

"Who cares," Duo replied, "it's a source of light." He quickly ran over, grabbed it, and ran back. He then held it up to his friends and then around the room. The room was actually larger than they had first imagined. There were a few boxes, which were covered in cobwebs. There was one small window, and the ceiling swooped down a bit where the roof did.

"Okay, well, no one's here. I guess we can go home now." Hilde started for the door but was stopped by Relena.

"Look." There was another lit candle. Hilde's face went pale.

"B-but, how can that be? It-it wasn't lit when we came in here just a minute ago." Duo started to panic, "That's it! I'm outta here!" He turned to run, but before he could escape, the door slammed shut. He tried to pull it open, but the door wouldn't budge. "It won't open!"

Hilde screamed, "Aw man, Aw man, it's the ghost of the little girl! She's gonna seek revenge for her death and kill us!" She collapsed on the floor and started to sob. "Hilde, get a hold of yourself!" Relena grabbed her by the shoulders. "It's okay. No one's gonna kill us." Hilde started to cry louder. "Heero, calm her down will ya? I'm gonna get the other candle." Relena slowly got up and walked over to the other candle. She was about to grab it when she saw a book laying next to it. Her curiosity getting the better of her, she picked up the book. It was red with a gold outline. In gold letters was the word 'Photos'. She flipped open to a page and found herself looking at a black and white picture of a family. There were seven people in the picture, a mother, a father, three boys, one girl, and what looked to be a maid and a gardener. Relena ran her finger over the picture and shivered as a gust of wind blew in through the tiny window, flipping the pages of the album. The new page revealed a picture of a little girl, the same one that they had tried to contact earlier. Relena turned the page. The next picture was of the little girl and a tall man. He had a mustache and was wearing a suit and hat. Hanging out of his pocket was a watch. Relena squinted and she could just make out the letters SMG. Looking at that picture gave her the shivers. There was something about that man that looked, well, evil.

"Relena, what're you doing over there?" Heero's voice brought her back to reality. "I'm coming." She picked up the book. Underneath it were come papers. She picked those up too and brought them back to where the others were sitting. "Look what I found." She said, sitting down.

"What is it?" Hilde said through sniffles.

"It's a photo album. There's pictures of the family who used to live here, and look," She opened up to the picture of the little girl, "it's the little girl we were trying to contact." She flipped the page to reveal the picture of the girl and the tall man.

"He's creepy looking," Hilde stated, "just looking at him sends chills up my spine. Who is he?"

Relena closed the book, "I'm not quite sure. Maybe the father or something. I also found these." She held up the letters.

"What are those?" Heero inquired.

"Letters it looks like." Relena handed one to him and then to Hilde. "Here, start reading these. See if you can find anything interesting." The three of them started to read while Duo continued to fiddle with the door. Relena read the letter very carefully.

December 15, 1916

My dearest Sara,

I hope that you and your mother are doing well. I do miss you both very much. I am doing fine and I hope to be coming home soon. I pray that the war will end soon, so we can all be a family again. I want you to do me a favor, just in case I don't return. In the shed there is a box. It is filled with money. Go to the shed and get it. Give it to your mother and tell her I want her to put it in a safe place. Now, be careful. Don't let your uncle Samuel learn of the money, for he will try to steal it. Now, go and do as I say. Tell your mother I love her.

Love always, Father

She finished reading the letter. "Hey guys, look at this." The others gathered around her. "The little girl's name was Sara. It's says here that her father was at war and he had some money stashed away that he wanted her and his wife to have. He seemed to have been afraid though that her uncle would take it. I wonder…" She picked up the photo album and flipped to the picture of Sara and the tall man. " I wonder if that's him." A loud creak was heard.

"Door's fixed." Duo stated, "now let's get out of here." Relena shoved the letter in her pocket and followed her friends out the door.

"Before we leave there's one more thing I want to do."
