Chapter 4
In the old Lisbon house we knew there was something secret behind the walls. It was young Cecilia Kingway that had found the first clue though. She had followed the ghost of Cecilia Lisbon and learned from her. She had learned to keep a journal now and she kept it the same way Cecilia had. Now Cecilia Lisbon had gotten Cecilia Kingway to hide in the shadows. Now we believe that Cecilia might teach her wrong and the young, still living Cecilia might take the same road down to suicide. Cecilia's ghost had shown Cecilia (Kingway) some secret rooms in the house. She showed her her favorite spots in the house where she would just sit and write in her journal. The ghost of the youngest Lisbon girl had shown Cecilia her secret journal. Inside, Cecilia told us, was the reason that the youngest Lisbon daughter had committed suicide. She was the on person who knew. Every time we'd guess she'd just answer 'no'. "Was it depression?" "No." "Was she going crazy?" "No." "Was she sick of her family, parents, and the house?" "No."
"Well then what was it?"
"If she wanted you to know then she'd tell me to tell you okay, now just stop bugging her privacy." "Alright." Most of the conversations with Cecilia didn't get far. She had wanted us to leave her and Cecilia Lisbon's ghost alone and she wanted us to give them privacy. We don't know what had gotten into her all of a sudden but it was weird, whatever it was. It was almost like Cecilia had been possessed and Cecilia Lisbon was inside of her, controlling her, making her mad at us for no good reason. * * * The same things had happened with the rest of the Kingway girls. It was driving us insane. We couldn't concentrate now just because they were mad at us. We finally had enough. Chase had gotten so annoyed he was actually thinking of committing suicide right in front of our faces. We finally got him to cool down for a few minutes but then he went to the sea with us following and after that day we never saw Chase Buell again. He was now joining Trip Fontaine and Paul Baldino in their own world. The same world that the Lisbons all lived in now. The world where people that commit suicide go to as a punishment for ending their lives before God had intended to end them. The world where they wouldn't see their friends unless they all committed suicide. One by one we were each going be joining everyone else in that world.
