"Liger! Come back! Goddammit, don't go in there! Liger!" Jeff shouted as he and Kiara sprinted after the puppy.

"Oh God! Jeff, he's going into the old McKeever place! We can't go in there!"

"Oh yes we can!" replied Jeff firmly "I am not losing my dog because you're afraid. Just remember – Fear is only a four letter word. Repeat that."

"Fear is only a four letter word. Fear is onl…"

"To yourself"

"Sorry."

"Come on, that must be where he got in" said Jeff, pointing to the broken window that led to the basement. Slowly, because the glass very irregular and sharp, Jeff and Kiara climbed through the window. Both were usually fearless in what they did, except Kiara had a thing about old places.

"Liger! Here boy!" Jeff called.

"Jeff, he could be anywhere! This place is huge" Kiara exclaimed.

"Well then, lets split up. How many floors does this place have?"

"Four I think. Plus the loft and the basement."

"Okay, you take the loft and the top two floors and I'll take the bottom two floors and the basement."

"If you're sure. What if we don't find him?" Kiara asked uneasily.

"We will find him!" said Jeff, so determinedly that he was almost yelling.

"Okay, okay, I'm going!" Kiara climbed the stairs, all the way to the loft, calling for Liger on the way. All the time, she knew that the dog might not come to her.

When she reached the loft, Kiara pushed open the door slowly, feeling slightly apprehensive. She could no longer hear Jeff and she was a little uneasy.

"Liger? You in here?" she called as she stepped into the room. Suddenly, she sensed that she was no longer alone in the room. She froze.

"Fear is only a four letter word. Fear is only a four letter word." She repeated over and over in a voice that was scarcely a whisper, as, heart pounding, she whirled round to face whoever, or whatever, it was that was in the room with her, and caught sight of herself in an old mirror. She gasped than laughed out loud as she realised that there was nothing there to be afraid of, iAm I glad that Jeff wasn't here to see that!'/i she thought as she resumed her search, "Liger!" i'God, where is that dog? I can't believe I'm here in this creepy old house; he's not even my dog! I don't think he even likes me!'/i

As she walked around the loft, her eye caught on something, i'What's this?'/i she thought as she picked up the book. i"Séance's: How to Learn the Art". 'Hmm. This looks cool. I'm gonna keep this, no-one will mind'/i as she slipped the book into her jacket pocket and carried on searching, "Liger!" Just as she was about to leave the loft, her eye caught on something else. "Oh wow! A ouija board! This is even better than the book! No-one'll know if I take this too", she exclaimed as she shoved the ouija board into her backpack, then with a second thought, took the book from her pocket and shoved that into the backpack too. i'Jeff would only think I'm crazy if I showed him'/i she thought as she out her backpack back on. Closing the door, Kiara stepped out into the hallway before heading down to the next floor. As she walked down the stairs, Kiara caught sight of Liger at the opposite end of the hallway, "Liger! Here boy!" she called with relief, now they could get out of here. Liger turned, wagging his tail at the sound of a voice he recognised. But, as he saw Kiara, he whimpered, and fled the other way. i'What's his problem?'/i thought Kiara, turning around to check behind her. "Liger! Get back here!" she yelled, angry now, as she gave chase, jumping over the stair rail so as to give her a better chance of catching the puppy. By the time Kiara reached the other end of the hallway, Liger was nowhere to be seen. "Dammit! Jeff is gonna kill me! Where can that dog have got to? There aren't even any stairs down here!" she exclaimed, frustrated and puzzled. She opened the door that was in front of her and found an empty room. i'No way is Liger in here, I would be able to see him'/i she thought. She closed the door and left the room how she had found it.
