A new chapter already? Yeah, I'm surprised too ;)

Thank you so much for the reviews though, they really make my day! :D And as you wish, here's chapter 6!

ENJOY! :D

Chapter 6:

"CHASE?!" Bree screamed terrified as she ran to her brother's side. She desperately shook his shoulders and shouted his name, but he just kept screaming as the tears streamed down his face.

Then everything stopped... Chase stopped screaming, stopped crying, even stopped moving at all and it was almost as if the house itself held its breath.

Slightly taken aback by the sudden change, Bree took an involuntarily step backwards as her brother pushed himself up on all four. He was breathing heavily, wiping away the tears on his face before... he began to laugh. It wasn't a relieved or happy laugh though, nor was it a sarcastic or pained one. No, it was the kind that sends shivers down your spine.

"Chase?" Bree questioned, her voice a bit shaky as she took another step backwards. "Are- Are you okay?"

She couldn't see his face, but just that laugh told her something was awfully wrong. Her brother kept his head down as he stood up on surprisingly steady legs, the strain in his breathing now completely gone. Bree swallowed thickly and took a few more steps backwards, distancing herself from her brother. This was really freaking her out; something was clearly wrong, terribly wrong...

"Chase?" she tried again and felt her hands search for something -anything- that could be used as a weapon.

A weapon?! What was wrong with her?! It was just Chase... It was her brother.

"Sorry sissy," Chase said in a humorous tone and her breath hitched in her throat. "Little brother's not home at the moment, please try again later."

He finally looked up at her and Bree felt her heart stop as dread filled her very being.

His eyes were black... Completely and utterly black.

"Adam," Leo whined. Oh god, he sounded and felt like a kid. What was he doing there anyway? Right, he wanted to go on a fun exploring trip with his siblings...

The transparent man lifted his hands slowly, almost as if to not startle them. Well, kind of too late for that...

"I won't hurt you." he -the freaking ghost- said and both teens started screaming. The man's hands dropped in what seemed to be annoyance as they continued to scream. Several moments passed of nothing but screaming, and then when they finally let their screams die out the man crossed his arms over his chest, looking unimpressed.

"You done?" he asked with a raised eyebrow and Adam started screaming again. Leo glanced at the man, who rolled his eyes at his brother, before he let his gaze travel to said teen. A moment passed and then Adam stopped screaming again.

"Yeah, I'm done." he said casually, though Leo could hear the slight fright in it.

"Good." the man -ghost- said and Leo looked back at him.

"You're not going to hurt us?" he asked carefully, hoping he wasn't pushing their luck.

"No, like I said." the man said and took a step closer.

"Stay away from us!" Leo exclaimed -and his voice did in no way sound like a girl's- and the ghost sighed exasperated.

"I'm not the one you should worry about!"

"You-... You-... B-But-... What-... What-" Bree spluttered as she barely remembered how to breathe. This could not be happening!

"What am I?" her brother -who she was absolutely sure wasn't her brother anymore- asked and huffed out a laugh. "I'm your brother, Bree."

"No." Bree said, surprising even herself at the force behind it, as she stared -while also trying not to stare- at the black eyes of her little brother. "You are not my brother. You are not Chase."

"Fair enough." 'Chase' said, shrugging casually. "But I am for the moment."

Bree shook her head, taking a small step backwards, but froze as the black eyes narrowed.

"Okay..." Bree said, her hand once more searching for a weapon. "Then... W-Who..."

"Who am I?" he said, once again finishing her question. "I think the better question is who was I? Besides, I already told you, I'm your brother. One of three actually."

Bree tried to keep her breathing even as she started backing away again while shaking her head. This couldn't be happening...

"But if you must know, my name's Michael Williams. I'm the owner of this mansion as well as the killer of seven during my living days and seven, no eight, more after my death."

By now Bree was back to barely breathing and let out a terrified gasp as her back hit the wall.

"W-What-... What are you-"

"Going to do with you?" Michael asked as he stalked over to her, and Bree really wished he would stop finishing her sentences; it was one thing when her brother did it... Michael was now standing right in front of her, his black eyes piercing hers.

"What I'm going to do with you?" Michael continued in a soft tone as he slid her little brother's hand down her cheek and she was too frightened to even try to move. "What I'm going to do with your brothers? With Chase?"

Bree let out a whimper as he leaned closer to her, whispering the answer in her ear.

"I'm going to kill you... I'm going to cover your brother's hands in your blood... The blood of his three siblings... And then," he caressed her cheek again as she fought back the fear and the tears. "Then I'm going to make him kill himself."

"No..." Bree choked out as she weakly strained against her brother's body.

"Yes! You're going to turn my body count up to nineteen."

"NO!" Bree screamed as she pushed against him with surprising force, sending him tumbling to the floor, and with a quick glance at her little brother she speed out of the room.

"W-What do you mean?" Adam asked and Leo looked at him in disbelief.

"What?" he questioned, but Adam just hushed him.

"What do you mean 'the one' we should worry about?" Adam asked the ghost, who smiled at him, grateful for someone listening.

"Do you even know who I am? How I died?"

"Yes, of course we do!" Leo interrupted impatient. "You don't go into a horror house without knowing its story. You're the owner who suffered a horrible death."

"Yes, I did die here, out on the cornfield actually, but I'm not the owner." the ghost said and Leo couldn't help but be intrigued.

"You're not?" he asked and the man shook his head.

"No, my name is James David, and I was just exploring this mansion with my best friend when-"

"Wait! Isn't it supposed to be teenagers who do that?" Leo couldn't help but ask.

"Yes, but I guess some people don't grow out of the stupidity." he said, causing Leo to glare in offence. "Either way, my friend abandoned me and I ran into Michael."

"Who's Michael?"

"He's-"

"NO!" a terrified scream from above sounded and the two brothers' eyes widen in horror.

"That's Bree!" Adam shouted and they -along with James the ghost- ran down the hallway. With James help they found a staircase and made their way up to the second floor.

"Bree?!" Leo shouted and before they knew it, the girl came running -almost flying- down the stairs, crashing into them and sending the humans to the ground. The girl was hysterical, crying so hard she could barely breathe and was completely incapable of forming a single sentence.

"Bree, Bree, shh! It's okay, it's okay, calm down..." Adam mumbled as he held his sister tight, who shook her head frantically.

"What happened?" Leo asked, dreading the worse, as he glanced between his siblings. When Bree just continued to shake her head, sobbing into her older brother's chest, he turned towards James, hoping the ghost could shed some light on the situation. The man however was staring at the ceiling, his eyes as wide as Bree's had been, as the sound of footstep was heard from the floor above them.

"It's too late..."

TO BE CONTINUED...

So... any thoughts? Reviews are always appreciated! :D

I got to admit though, Michael did kind of freak me out...

Until next time my dear readers! :) /Libra
