I grabbed ahold of Sam, and we slowly wet threw the ground, up to the world we used to know as a home. There was still ghosts floating around, so I remained intangible and we were both looking around. It was horrible. Buildings were all fallen over, and my house was totally gone. I flew over to my house, and landed there. The only thing remaining was the door to the ghost zone, in which the remaining ghosts were flying, threw, as though they only cared about destroying the earth. I looked about my fallen down house, and there was rubbish of all the things that had been in my house.
After about 20 minutes of just standing there, we were able to turn back to normal, because all the ghosts were gone now. I looked amongst the rubbish, and noticed a picture lying on the ground. It was a picture of Tucker, Sam, Jazz, Maddie, and Jack. I started to get watery eyes, as I thought back on when I was on the phone with Jazz, and I knew she was gone. All of them were gone. Tucker was also gone, my only other friend in the whole world.
"Are you Ok Danny?" Sam asked, in a clam voice, as she walked up behind me, and peered over my shoulder at the picture.
"Yeah, I am fine," I lied, as I shoved the picture in my pocket.
Everything around us looked horrible. The sky was gray, as though the whole earth was sad from this event. Were there any people left in this world?
The sign that once said Amity Park was now lying on the ground, and all the trees in the park, were also on the ground, busted into a million pieces. There was no grass left either, all the grass was now brown, as though it to had been killed by the ghosts. As I turned to look at the town again, all it was, was rubbish laying all over the place. Glass, bricks, people's belongings, and more, was just laying about the ground. Most of the stuff was obviously broken, and there was no use of anything around anymore. Sam was also looking about, but then she turned to the ghost zone's door.
"Why did they ruin our home, and then go back to theirs?" She asked, with a gargled voice, since she was too obviously crying. She kicked the side of the door, not entirely because of anger, she was also sad.
"I don't know, maybe they think that way, they have two worlds to explore," I suggested. Both of us were now looking around at the remains of the town, and we both had tears running down the sides of our faces. There was nothing left. No homes, no people, nothing. I might be a guy, but if you were left with a destroyed world, no home, no family, you would be crying too. All I had, was Sam, and Chelsea. I didn't even really know Chelsea!
"Sam, what are we going to do? There is no food left, no clothes left, no anything left."
"I still have a shower and stuff down in that cave, but that is about all. And a little bit of food, but not enough to last the rest of our life time. Danny, why not just give up on life?" Sam cried out.
I walked up to Sam and looked at her straight in the eyes and told her, "Sam, we don't give up. Then you are giving the ghosts what they want. They wanted all of us dead, and you know what, they didn't finish us all off. They weren't checking hard enough. We can't give up. We still have each other."
"You are right Danny!" She said, tears running down her cheeks, and her face was red. She gave me a quick hug, and then turned around, and looked at the city.
"You know though Danny, if you want to live, we need to search through all this stuff." She sighed, and then turned back around to me and asked, "are you ready?"
"I guess so…" I sighed, not knowing if I really wanted to look through all the stuff.
"You can look through your house if you want, but I am going to go look somewhere else, Ok?"
"All right, but don't go to far, Ok?"
"I won't, I will stay close by."
I looked through my house's stuff, although I had to be careful of picking things up, since glass was shattered everywhere. I kept on thinking of what it looked like up here, when the war was going on. I knew what it looked like the day before, when I was still in my home. I could still remember the people screaming outside all the time, and I could remember when Tucker had died. I didn't want to think back on it. Sam didn't either, because she still blamed it on herself for inviting him over.
I soon forgot about that, as I rummaged through the stuff lying on the ground. My ghost sense went off, and I froze in terror. If a ghost caught us, we would be doomed. There is no way we would escape, and that would be the end of us.
I ran over to Sam, and turned us both intangible, and went back down to our hideout.
"I am sorry Sam, but my ghost sense went off, and if a ghost was to spot us, we would be over with."
"That is Ok, I wasn't finding anything anyhow, just a whole bunch of people's stuff laying on the ground."
"Yeah, I know, all it is, is people's broken stuff, and broken trees and buildings and stuff. I don't think we are going to find anything."
"Yeah, I don't think so either," Sam sighed, and then she slowly walked over to the couch, and sat down. Chelsea was now wide-awake, and she was just staring at us, still sitting in the chair. I don't think she ever moved, just like she was told.
"You find my Mommy?" She asked us, with curious eyes. She was squeezing the blankets, looking at the both of us, not understanding what was going on. I looked over at Sam, and Sam's serious face, soon turned into a sad face. We didn't know what to say to her, since after all, her mom was gone, and was never going to return.
"Your mom is gone," I told her, in a soft voice, trying to sound as kind as possible. She just looked at me with her big watery eyes.
"Why did she leave me?"
"She didn't leave you Chelsea, she is… Umm… dead, if you know what that means," Sam explained, trying to sound as though it wasn't that bad.
"What is that?"
"It means, she has gone to a better place, but she is never going to return," I told her, trying to help Sam out with explaining.
"Why didn't she take me with her?"
"We will talk about this later, Ok?" I told her, trying to get off the subject. It was already bad enough that I had to deal with loosing everything, and I didn't feel like explaining to a little girl what death was, I and I don't think Sam did either.
I sat down on the couch next to Sam, to relax for a little, and let all the stuff that had occurred settled in my head. Everything had happened so fast, and it was all because my father had opened up the ghost zone, so ghosts could go in, and out freely. Why did he have to do that? Didn't he realize that it would just cause more troubles?
"Danny, did you notice something when we were out there?" Sam asked me from the middle of no where, and broke my thoughts up.
"What do you mean?"
"There was something weird about it out there, like as though there was something missing."
What was missing? Does anyone out there want to take a lucky guess? I want at least 5 reviews before continuing!
