Chapter 3: Here Comes the Bride
Jody entered the dark gloomy room that lay before them. It had a very cold and lifeless presence. The room was full of wooden rafters and heavy beams. This was the mansion's attic, full of all sorts of junk. Furniture, clothes, objects, pictures and other stuff.
"Geez, who knows how long this stuff has been here," said Sakura.
"Probably centuries," replied Kim.
"Hasn't Gracey ever heard of a yard sale?" cried Jody.
Then, a thunderous heartbeat echoed through the attic, slow and terrifying. And yet the attic seemed vacant.
"W-what's that?" quivered Sakura, looking about wildly.
"I don't know, but whatever it is, I'm gonna kick it where it hurts!" said Jody, clenching his fist.
Suddenly, an ugly gruesome spirit leapt up from behind some junk and unleashed a blood-curdling scream, before disappearing into thin air. Sakura jumped back in fright and landed in an open trunk.
"Creep!" she said as Kim and Jody helped her out of the trunk.
"I think I might have wanted to stay in the ballroom…" said Jody, starting to show signs of fright.
The heartbeat became louder and louder. Then Jody turned right and froze on the spot. Kim and Sakura stopped behind him and stared in disbelief too. They had found who had the thunderous heartbeat.
Hovering a foot above the floor was a spirit of a young woman in a bridal gown. Her brown hair was wild and frayed; her skin seemed to be turning a greenish blue. Her eyes, distant, glowed a supernatural yellow. Her dress flowed in the wind that blew through a window. In her hand was a bouquet of flowers.
A flashing red light was visible through her gown, her beating red heart.
"Hello," said the woman, smiling.
"Hi," replied Jody nervously.
"I am Emily, people call me the Bleeding Bride," said the woman.
"I can see why," stuttered Kim.
Emily looked down at the glowing heart and chuckled.
"I guess you're right," said Emily, and examined the three teens. "You must be new here."
"Yes, I'm Kim, this is Jody and Sakura," greeted Kim. Sakura waved slowly while Jody nodded.
Emily turned to Jody who stood bolt upright.
"You know, if you were a bit older, I'd probably sleep with you," said Emily, which made Jody blush and Kim frown angrily.
"Well, we better be moving on," said Kim, catching Jody's attention.
"What's the rush?" asked Jody confused.
"Please don't leave. I get so lonely up here," pleaded Emily.
"Why don't you just leave the room?" suggested Sakura.
"I never thought of that," said Emily, and she burst out laughing.
"I don't mean to be offensive, Emily, but how did you die?" asked Kim.
"Well, I just got married George, and we decided to play hide and seek," explained Emily.
"Hide and seek?" asked Jody.
"I was only sixteen when I married! Anyway, I came up here to hide and hid inside that trunk," said Emily and pointed to the trunk Sakura had plunged into.
"And then," said Kim, becoming vaguely interested.
"I hid in it, but then someone slammed the lid shut and locked the trunk. I suffocated inside here," said Emily and closed her eyes sadly.
"I'm sorry," said Kim.
"Don't worry, I'll be fine. Besides, George knows where I am," said Emily, looking up and smiling.
"Do you have any idea about who locked you in the trunk?" asked Jody, sounding like detective.
"Not an idea," said Emily.
There was a sudden outburst of music from outside. The four crowded to the window. Outside, a large number of ghosts were flying down towards a large number of tombs and gravestones in the distant. The clouds were clearing and a starry sky was coming into view. As the four looked out of the window, Emily looked towards Jody and smiled seductively.
"Looks like the ghostly jamboree is starting up," said Emily. "You kids should go down there and check it out."
"Okay," said Kim. "Thanks Emily".
Kim dragged Sakura by the arm and down to the ground below excitedly. Jody was about to walk after them, when Emily stopped him and he turned around to her. She rubbed a hand through his blonde hair.
"Look, I think you're a bit old for me," said Jody, backing away.
"Only by two years," said Emily.
"More like hundred years!" cried Jody and dashed out of the room.
Emily folded her arms around her waist, hugging herself and smiling.
"Cute boy," said Emily. "Too fast moving."
The crypt doors are creaking and the tombstones are quaking. Spooks are coming out for a party in the graveyard. See you there!
