Chapter Six
Pocahontas was still screaming bloody murder when Nisan Robin, Sophie, and John reached her. She was pressed up against a wall, her hands clenched in fists and her knuckles white.
"Pocahontas! Shhhhhh…" Sophie squealed, pressing a hand over her mouth, trying to muffle the shrill scream coming form Pocahontas's mouth. "What happened?" Sophie asked when she had finally calmed down. Pocahontas was breathing hard and she sank down to the ground and took a deep breath.
"When I came in here, there were two, boys. I swear I'm not lying. There were two boys. They knew we were here because they were making the lights turn on and off with that," she pointed to the light switch. "When I walked in, I saw them and asked them if they lived here. They started saying 'Ghost' and I looked around. I couldn't see one and asked them where it was. They freaked out and started backing away from me calling me a ghost. I went closer to them and they threw something at me and it hit my hand. And then… My nail broke!!! Isn't that awful???"
John looked as if he wanted to slap her. "A nail?!? Is that IT?? The reason you started screaming is because you broke a nail????" Pocahontas nodded and stuck out her lip, trying to look innocent. Nisan started to laugh, closely followed by Robin and Sophie.
"Wow guys… Hey John, have fun spending the night with her and her broken nail tonight. I just wonder who those boys were Pocahontas talked about." Sophie said.
"Hmm." Nisan said as she crouched down and looked at the stone the boys had thrown at Pocahontas, who, by the way was still whimpering in the corner. But, by this time, John had given in and knelt down to comfort her. "Hey, this isn't a stone, it's a baseball. And, it has a picture of a dinosaur by the seam. I know who those boys were. This baseball belongs to my brother, Jason and probably Isaac, his best friend." She stood up and laughed, throwing the ball up in the air and catching it. "Ha! He is going to be in sooo much trouble!"
…oOo…
Sophie, Robin, and Nisan left the house and went home, laughing as they went. Robin had gone inside and Nisan and Sophie were walking home. They didn't notice it until they were at the middle school. Because it was Friday and there was a varsity football game going on. As they walked past, they heard screaming and a faint "Kill the savages!" Nisan looked at Sophie and they sprinted down the hill to the stadium. What they saw scared them.
"Wow, I've never seen them run that fast!" Nisan joked as they watched the very 3-D Ratcliff and his group of soldiers chase the football team down the field.
"Yeah, I mean, it makes perfect sense because our mascot is an Indian." She smiled as the team ran past us, screaming like little girls. "But, what should we do?" Ratcliffe ran past us now, waving his black sword and his men dragging their canons up the hill.
"I don't know. Should we call Robin?" Nisan asked Sophie. She nodded and Nisan pulled out her cell phone.
"Hello?" Robin answered.
"Yo, Robin, it's Nisan. Hey, you will never guess what is going on here!" Nisan said.
"Uh… I probably could if you told me where you were?" Robin said.
"We are at the football field. Now guess." Her hair blew in the wind as the football team passed them again.
"Probably watching a football game and we are loosing."
"Uh, no… Listen to this." Nisan held the phone up as Ratcliffe yelled, "Kill the savages" and ran past. "Have a guess?" Nisan said sarcastically.
"What is he doing here? I mean, why was he moved? Was he one of the ones transported to another place?" Robin yelled into the phone.
"I don't know, but… Hey!! Where did they go?" Nisan yelled back, as she watched the army disappear into tin air. People started cheering and asking how they the special effects worked and saying how we had to win the game now.
"Hey! Tell me what is happening!!" Robin said.
"Ratcliffe and his men just vanished!" Nisan said.
""Hold on you guys," Sophie interjected. "If they vanished, what about John and Pocahontas?"
Nisan, Robin and Sophie all hung up and started running for the Haunted House as fast as they could.
Hey guys, it's Nisan again. So yeah… how about that?
Hey no fair! I don't want to have to answer that!!! What an I going to do?
Oh get over yourself Robin. I think it was a good ending!
Thanks Sophie. Enjoy guys… and gals.
By the way, we seriously need to work on the OOC-ness of our characters! Yipe!
