Chapter 3 - Ghosts in the Night

"I've just had a phone call from Mr Smythe at the creepy castle to say everything is ready for the party tonight" Chuck called out to Susan.

"Oh good – and stop calling it a creepy castle, you'll put people off!"

"What time is the babysitter coming?"

"She should be here in 10 minutes, but she's normally late"

"How's your costume looking?"

"It actually looks quite good, I never really thought dresses suited me, I love my black trousers far too much!"

"I love mine! You're gonna laugh at me!"

Susan walked out of her bedroom and saw Chuck posing.

"Oh its great! It was such a good idea getting a knights costume!"

"You look fabulous! It's a gorgeous dress"

"Yeah its lovely. Oh there's the door bell, that'll be the babysitter"

Susan answered the door and greeted Jane the babysitter.

"Hi Jane, Cosmo's all settled in bed, he should sleep through. We'll be back by one"

"Have a great time, and you both look………..very medieval!"

"Thanks!" Chuck and Susan replied together and walked out to the car.

"Carter! Are you nearly ready?"

"Yeah, you?"

"I'm done. Shall we reveal?"

"Yes!"

Carter and Abby had been dressing separately to surprise each other with their costumes. Abby had a long peach dress with long sleeves and a corset style top part. Carter had leggings, a tunic and a medieval hat.

"Oh my God! Carter, you look great!"

"You look gorgeous! Fancy a bit of medieval 'fun' in the bedroom before we go!"

"Yes sire!"

………………………………………………………………………………………….

"LUKA! I CANNOT BELIEVE YOU HAVE DONE THIS"

"Sam, calm down. I thought you said fancy dress"

"I said medieval fancy dress, as in the long dresses, knights, squires"

"But you look great, and I love my costume"

"Yeah because a cowboy and a milk maid really fit into that time period!"

"Look, everyone will think its funny"

"Yes well I'm gonna need a stiff drink when we get there. Did you book the taxi?"

"No, I didn't know I had to"

"LUK……"

"Joke, it should be here in a minute"

"Have you got a whip?"

"Why"

"Cos I want to hit you with it"

"Does that mean I'm forgiven!"

Up at the Castle, Sarah and Tom were putting the finishing touches to the medieval banquet hall.

"I love it when there are parties here. Its such a fun job" Sarah said.

"That's if we survive tonight"

"What do you mean by that?"

"Remember what I told you yesterday?"

"Yes, you said it was a lie"

"Well, I should prepare you for a shock. Its…."

"Not a lie" Sarah trembled. She wasn't the strongest of characters.

"Fooled you again!" Tom started to laugh. His laughter faded when the room suddenly went cold.

"Why's it so cold?" Sarah asked

"I don't know"

"Is this another one of your jokes"

"I wish it was"

The cold wind gusted around and suddenly, there was a bang, and everything went dark.

HIT THAT BUTTON! - good or bad!
