Hey guys. Sorry for making you wait so long. I have been very busy. And I am sorry this is so short. I wanted to get something out to you guys so you wouldn't have to wait for too long. Well, here it is. Part two

Chapter twelve

Shadowland part 2

Paul and I both looked up to see Casey standing in front of us, looking a bit uncomfortable for some reason. To tell you the truth, I was feeling a bit uncomfortable myself. I hated coming here. It was so cold. The fog was licking up against the back of my legs sending burning chills up and down my body. Or was that because of Paul's hand resting on my shoulder?

"Ok, I guess I am." Casey said, after like five minutes since we hadn't answered him. "I will just be leaving right now."

Casey turned around, with his hands in his pockets and started to stroll down the hallway.

"Umm…" I muttered intelligently.

I'm being sarcastic people!

"Casey?"

I looked up to find that Paul was no longer behind me. But behind Casey, who was still strolling. Casey looked over his shoulder and about jumped out of his skin. Paul let out an evil chuckle, sending weird chills up and down my body. Lately Paul had been a little better. But not by much.

"What in the world-" Casey tried to say but Paul had had him by his neck and pushed him up against the nearest door.

I ran forward to the two and put my hands on my hips. "Paul! What the hell are you doing? Let him go!"

Can you believe he just looked over his shoulder at me and rolled his eyes? HE ROLLED HIS EYES! Oh, boy. It was on now!

"Alright Paul." I said, gripping his shoulders tightly. "You just messed with the-"

"Excuse me miss Simon." I looked up to see the gladiator dude. Did I ever mention how much he looks like Mel Gibson? "I believe I have told you this on more than one occasion. You do-"

" 'Not belong here'. I get you." I sighed reluctantly letting go of Pauls shoulders.

"Mr. Slater, please put down that young man you hold in your clutches." Paul gave the gatekeeper a look over and then looked to me. "I would very much like our new spirit to find his way on to his next place." I nodded to Paul to put Casey down. He gave me a sad impression and then reluctantly let Casey down.

"Mr. Gladiator dude-"

"Gatekeeper." He interrupted me with his correct title.

"-whatever. Can Paul and I have a few minutes with Casey?" He gave me this are-you-kidding look. Which I responded with a I'm-not-letting-him-go-until-you-let-me-talk-with-him-you-big-oaf.

"Alright." He said. I swear I just saw him roll his eyes. "You may converse with this spirit. But only for a few minutes."

Damn. We had better work fast.

Taking Casey by the arm, I walked away from the gatekeeper and any doors. Paul followed, suspiciously eyeing the gatekeeper. Maybe he did look like Mel Gibson. And maybe Paul found him…Hot?

"Ok, lets cut to the chase." I folded my arms and twitched my hips. I was in no mood to play games. I had a wolf to find and a ghost to send to his next destination. I wasn't a happy camper. Plus I was with Paul.

Lets not get into that…

Paul stepped in. "Alright man, we need to know everything on how you died. And now."

Casey looked a little freaked. If that is even the right word.

"Well.." He stopped and thought. "I was in my room. I had found my brother the day before and I was…I was a little out of it. I just found my brother, lying close to death in the dirt, ripped to shreds from head to toe."

Although he didn't need to, he took a deep breath. "I walked into my bathroom. Went to the sink to wash my wash. And when I looked up, I saw my brother. Standing behind me. All I did was stand there, and stare at him. And then, he just started shaking. And I freaked. I ran for the phone, and as soon as I got there, I heard this loud menacing growl. I turned around, and saw this huge beast coming at me."

He took another useless breath. "That's all I remember."

Paul took a deep unsatisfied breath and looked at me. "So, what are you thinking now Suzie?"

I took a deep breath and shrugged my shoulders with uncertainty. "I'm thinking we have to find Todd before he kills anyone else."
