~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~Chapter 5~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~

"What's the deal with this place any ways that has got you guys so freaked out?" Maria said as they
road across on the boat to the Island where the "witches" where.

"Lets just say last time we came here we had a freaky experience." Jen said looking at all their stuff.

"Yeah but this time you have me and Maria to hold your hands." Jack said patting Jen on the head.

"You laugh now but wait until this is over." Dawson said.
"I don't know about you guys but I'm not sleeping in the church." Joey said folding her hands together.
"Oh come on it would be so neat please." Maria said giving her best puppy dog look.
"We'll decide that later but for right now we need to get off the boat." Pacey said steeping onto the
dock and lifting the bags up.


They finally got their stuff organized and went into the gift shop.

"I agree with Maria I think we should sleep in the church." Dawson said checking his camera and video
recorder.

"Are you serious Dawson do you even remember what happened last time?" Joey said.
"Yeah I do and I think we should go again and see if it happens again and what will happen if we stay
the night even after that and besides what about are old time couple lets see if we can find him."

"I can't believe you guys talked me into this AGAIN." Jen said in a whiny tone.
"Yeah well I don't know about you but I think we should go to the church and set up before dark."
Jack said already walking out the door.

"This is so cool hey Pace pass the chips." Maria said from her sleeping pew. This church was so cool
and the ghost story they told about this place made it even cooler like the fact they heard a church bell
and there was no bell. The only thing that would make this better was if Michael was holding her
protecting her.

In a way though each one of her new friends reminded her of her old friends for instance. Joey and Liz
or how about Jen and Isabel, Jack and Kyle well except for the gay thing, then there was Dawson she
could see the similarities to Max and Zan then there was Andie in an odd way reminded her of Tess the
more she got to know her. She had been avoiding Andie a lot lately. Finally Pacey reminded her of
Alex well except for the fact that Alex was a nerd and Pace is a slacker. He had Alex goofy personality
and Michael's school habits.

"Here Maria." Pacey said throwing her a bag of barbecue chips.
"So when do the ghosts come out?" Maria said opening the bag and eating a few of the greasy delights.

"Ha, ha, ha well last time it happened around eleven it's ten thirty now."
"Well I don't think it will happen this time because we didn't inform the gift shop lady we would be
here like last time. I still think it was her doing." Joey said unrolling her sleeping bag.
"Yeah well we'll find out tonight." Jack said adjusting his lantern so the light covered more area.

"That's odd." Maria said out loud looking around the church at the candles.

"What is?" Dawson said turning his camera to tape Maria.
"No sounds. Not one bug by the light not one on the floor. No crickets I mean this is by water so there
should be lots. No birds no lighting bugs not even wind there is nothing. It's like they're all staying
away. Like they know something we don't." Maria paused then looked at Dawson, Joey, Jen, and
Pacey. "Or do."

Everyone was silent trying to hear any sound what so that they could prove her wrong but there was
nothing not a sound at all.

"Ok this is way to creepy." Jen said standing up and walking around trying to make as much noise as
possible.

"Didn't mean to scare you." Maria said sheepishly.
"It's not just that what you said is true it's just the way you said t the look on your face. It was like to us
you where staring at nothing but you looked like you where seeing something we couldn't. Then there's
the fact that you're right. What time is it." Jen said sounding more worried. It was creepy enough the
first time but this is just way to weird.

"It's ten fifty-nine." Dawson said slowly.
"Oh god oh god." Jen just chanted. 'Why did I agree to this why?'
"We got ten seconds" Everyone held their breath
"Nine seconds....

eight seconds.....

seven seconds.....

six seconds......

five seconds.....

four seconds....

three seconds.....

two seconds.....

Eleven o'clock." Dawson said in a whisper.

Jen just breathed out. "Thank god."

As soon as the words escaped her mouth the wind picked up almost like it was shaking the church.
The bugs all sounded at once chirping so loudly it hurt.

"What's happening?" Maria screamed over the sound.

The bugs stopped cold along with the wind all was deathly quiet.

Everyone stood still fearing what would happen if they moved.

Maria stood up and walked to the nearest window and looked out at the black woods.

All of a sudden a figure stood in front of the window it's outline in black and it's face a dead white
against the black before it disappeared out into the black night.

Maria fell back against the pew the hard wood breaking her fall.
