A scream echoed through out the halls as Paige shot up straight in bed. "Oh no…." said Paige as she jumped out of bed and ran down the hall. When she got in front of the room she heard the scream come out of she was surprised to find Will and Jack there already. They all looked at each other for a moment then ran into the room.

"Where is Jen?" asked Will when he saw the bed empty.

"Down here on the floor," said Jack kneeling down next to her.

"She's as white as a ghost, and look," said Paige as she pointed at Jen's arm. "Claw marks…. and they drew blood."

Will then went over to her and tried to wake her. "But, how did the claw marks get there?" he asked as he looked at her more closely.

Paige then ran outside and down to the Pear tree with Jack right behind her. "The Partridge…. It's gone," said Paige as two Turtle Doves flew in and up the stairs.

"Quickly, we must follow them," said Jack as he grabbed Paige's hand and ran back upstairs.

Another scream was heard coming from the room. "I hope we're not to late," said Jack as they reached the room to see Will hunched over in pain. "What happened, Will?"
"Some…. Some birds flew in and scratched at both of my shoulders," said Will, trying not to cry out in pain.

"The Turtle Doves…" gasped Paige and she removed Will's hands to see the scratch marks. "We have to tend to that wound."

Jen then started to wake up and move around. "Jen?" said Will.

"She's…. all right," said Jack confused.

"Uhh…. A bird… A bird…" said Jen totally out of it.

"What is she rambling on about?" asked Jack.

"Maybe it's the Partridge," replied Paige and all went silent.

"Well, whatever it was, it's gone now," said Jack noting the silence.

"And that's the best news I've heard since we've arrived here," said Will.

"We have to…. get out…." whispered Jen.

Jack stood up and went towards the door. "I'm going to go and try to find a way out of this crazy house," he said.

"Wait, Jack!" said Paige standing up and going over to him. "I'm going to go with you."

"Alright, come on," said Jack and they headed downstairs and looked around.

Paige and Jack searched the whole house looking for an exit over the next two days, but only found three French hens that scratched Jack a few times and four calling birds that kept chanting, "Death to Jen! Death to Will! Death to Jack! To Paige all hail!" By the fifth day, Will and Jen joined in the search for an exit out of the haunted mansion.

"There has to be some way out of here," said Jack not giving up hope.

All of a sudden five golden rings appeared before them. "These rings look somewhat familiar," said Will picking one up and looking closely at it.

"They're so beautiful," said Jen picking up another one and slipping it on her finger than disappearing.

"Jen!" screamed Will after he watched her disappear right in front of his eyes and he dropped his ring.

"This isn't good," said Jack.

"Where did she go?" asked Paige.

"I don't know, but she has to be somewhere in this house," said Jack.

Things just seem to keep getting worse. I wonder what could have happened to Jen. Stay tuned to find out.

Oh and please remember to review. It is always a nice gesture.
