Chapter #2 The Daydream
Kylie's point of view
I walked down the street towards the firehouse. It was a long day and I have been tired then usual. My name is Kylie Griffin. I'm a Ghostbuster and a waitress at a fast food joint near where I hang out with my friends. I've been in the Ghost busting business for a few years now. Since 1997, when a few subway workers busted a hole into the Ghost Dimension and ghosts started to come through the hole and enter our world. Causing trouble for the people here in New York. It's our job to catch the ghost and put it in the Containment Unit. Where all the ghosts are kept so they won't cause any more trouble. As I arrived at the firehouse. I saw Eduardo, a ghost buster and classmate in my paranormal class back when we were in college, dragging his feet towards the front doors of the firehouse. He looked more tired then I am. Like he was up all night. I watch him enter the firehouse, leaving the door wide open. "What has he been doing last night?" I thought as went into the firehouse after him, closing the door behind me.
As I closed the door. I looked around the firehouse. Roland was under the Ecto 1. Janine was typing away at her computer and Garrett, Eduardo and Egon are nowhere in sight. Probably they're upstairs as usual I thought as I adjusted the strap of my bag on my shoulder and walked towards the stairs after I said hello to Roland and Janine. I climbed the stairs to the second floor. Where the other Ghostbusters and I hang out and Egon's lab is. I walked down the hall and into the living room. Where I found Garrett playing a video game and Eduardo was lying asleep on the couch.
"Must've been a fun night Eduardo had." I thought as I went to the overstuff chair behind the couch and sat down. As I sat my bag down on the floor. I pulled a book about history of haunted mansions in New Orleans when I heard Garrett's voice break the silence in the room.
"Hey Kylie what's going on?" I looked up to see Garrett steering his wheel chair towards me.
"Hi Garrett." I said as I opened the book to a marked page.
I turned to see Garrett beside me looking at me.
"What?" I asked.
"Nothing." Garrett replied innocently. "Except I noticed both you and Eddie look very tired."
I raised an eyebrow.
"So?"
"So what were you two doing last night?"
That insulted me.
"What are you talking about?"
"Come on, Kylie." Garrett said. "You can tell me."
I glared at him because I knew what he was talking about. Ever since I first met Eduardo. I've been denying the fact that I might like him more then just a friend. He may be annoying sometimes but underneath he's kind and sweet. But I wonder why he annoys us all the time. "Hey everyone." Garrett and I turned to see Janine standing in the doorway.
"I'm going to pick up Fred and Susan at the Orrs house. I need one of you downstairs in case someone calls or comes in."
"I'll do it." I quickly said as I placed my book back into my bag. Grabbed the bag and went towards the door and walked pass Janine.
After Janine left to pick up her twin children at their friend's house. I sat down at her desk and leaned against the chair. Janine and Egon have been married for seven years now and have two children. Twins named Fred and Susan Spengler. Both six years old who has their mother's hair and eyes and their father's IQ. I like the twins but they scare me a little. They know a lot about science and math better then their classmates. Which is the reason why their teacher keeps calling about their science experiments at their school. Most which burned down walls and desks which Janine and Egon had to pay to replace.
For the next hour I stared at the ceiling. Thinking about the dream I had last night. I just got home from a Christmas party at my parents house last night. I was so tired I fell asleep. Still in my Christmas dress. I dreamt I was standing in the middle of a graveyard beside a red brick Gothic style mansion. I cringed. There was something familiar about the mansion. Like I was there before when I was a kid. It had an aura radiating from it and was scaring me.
"Come in, my child." A cold female voice said. I looked around searching for the source of the voice. But no one was nearby. Just the tombstones in the graveyard and the wind.
"Come in."
"Hey Kylie, Kylie!"
"Wha...what?" I blinked and looked up to see Egon looking at me concerned.
"What?" I asked.
"Are you ok, Kylie?" he asked.
I nodded. "Yeah, I'm fine, why?"
"You were leaning against the chair and your eyes were glazed over."
I stared at him confused.
"They were?"
Egon nodded and pulled out a PKE meter and scanned me with it.
"I'm not possessed, Egon." I said.
"Trust me I know."I thought coldly as I remembered when Achira, a disease spreading demon who possessed me by pretended to be my Grandma Rose.
How I hated her for that.
"You're right, you're not." Egon said as he shut the PKE off.
"What were you doing last night?"
"I was at a Christmas party at my parent's house a few blocks from here." I answered. Leaving out the part about me having the weird dream.
I didn't want to talk about the dream. I wanted to go home. Then I remembered the trip to Walt Disney World in Florida. We've been planning the trip for weeks and it was my idea. I frowned. I didn't want to cancel the trip or stay behind while Roland, Eduardo and Garrett have fun in Florida.
"I just didn't get any sleep last night."
Egon raised an eyebrow.
"When does your plane to Florida leave?"
"Around 5:30 tonight." I replied.
Egon looked at his watch. "Huh, ok." he said. "Since its only 1:34. Why don't you go home and rest? There's plenty of time so you don't have to worry."
I yawned and rubbed my eyes. "Thanks Egon." I said. "And I'm sorry you, Janine and the twins can't come with us."
Egon smiled. "Yeah me too." he said. "But someone has to stay behind in case there's trouble."
I nodded in agreement. "Yeah." I grabbed my bag and stood up. "I'll see you later." I said as I walked towards the door.
"See you, Kylie and have fun in Florida."
"I well, thanks." I walked out of the firehouse, closing the door behind me.
"Something weird is going on." I thought as I walked down the street. "But what?"
