I'm back once again with my second installment!
This is quite a short chapter and I would love to hear what you all think of it! PLEASE! Plus, I'm wondering if to include a PiperLeo chapter next... I need you to tell me! Ah well, here it is...
Chapter 2
An hour later the four found themselves waiting at the front entrance for their host.Chris was still wearing his same old muddy blue T-shirt and jeans he had been all morning but the three others had changed into more comfortable clothing. The redheaded squirrel raced into the room in a rush.
"And how are we?" she enquired, but none answered. It didn't stop her from smiling though. The tour started on the first floor. She showed them around each room telling them tales of all whom lived there and when it was built. But evenPiper was loosing her concentration through it.
"What about the ghosts?"Chris finally cried at their tour guild. "Chris,"Leo hissed at him but the tour guild took it in her stride. "I was hoping we could cover that tomorrow, after you have spent the night. But you look like an impatient lot, so I might as well tell you the main background."
The four keenly jumped onto a sofa that sat in the corridor. They stared up at her with wandering eyes like little school children.
"Once there was a man," She began, " that lived in nearby town with his family, but his uncle died so he inherited this here, Dudley Castle…" she told the story, exaggerating parts to make the girls shudder and squirm but mainly getting the point across.
"Wow… I'm never offering a stranger to come stay with me ever again,"Chris whispered after she had finished her gruesome tale. The three looked at him blankly, "Since when have you ever offered a stranger to come live with you,"Leo asked him as if he were pathetic. "I mean… I never will offer my home to strangers…" They just ignored him after that.
"That is kind of scary,"Paige said unhappily, "I don't want to spend the night in a haunted castle." Mrs Green laughed, "Oh honey, you're the millionth person to spend the night here, I doubt that the ghost will come after you after all these years."
"Now you've jinxed it," Chris giggled staring at Paige. He waved his hands in her face only annoying her this time making her slap him on the back of the head.
The four got up and followed Mrs Green round the bend of the corridor.Piper andLeo standing together followed byPaige checking her makeup in her compact whileChris trailed distantly behind dragging his feet unhappily at the thought he had just been hit over the head by a girl.
He watched as the others disappeared around the bend. There was a creek behind him. He spun around to find no one there. He stared down the old stone corridor, seeing in the far distance the sofa he and his friends had sat upon. He smiled to himself, "That woman could tell a good ghost story."Chris turned back around and began to walk around the corner. He heard another creek but ignored it. His mind was playing tricks, but another one soon followed then another and another. He quickly spun around. "Who the hell are yo-"
