Chapter Two

"Dad, I think you were supposed to turn right at that gas station," Robin pointed out. They had arrived in England earlier that day and had rented a car from the airport to take them to the castle. Robin sat in the back next to Patrick, looking at the directions on the back of the brochure.

"I know where I'm going, luv," Robert assured insisting that he had memorized the directions.

"Robert, give it up, you don't know where you're going," Anna insisted.

"Mom's right," Robin agreed, "Maybe we should turn around and--" She stopped mid-sentence as they had turned on to a side road, and looked out the window. Robin gasped.

"What's wrong?" Patrick asked worriedly, as he put a hand on her shoulder.

"Did you see that?" Robin asked him, staring out the window for a few more seconds before turning to face him. Patrick narrowed his eyes as he shook his head. Anna turned around in her seat to look at her daughter, and Robert looked at Robin through rearview mirror. "I just saw a ghostly white figure standing on the side of the road."

"Robin, luv, I think you're taking this haunted castle thing a little to far," Robert laughed turning his eyes back to the road.

"No, I'm not," Robin insisted, "I saw something out there."

Patrick kept his hand on her shoulder. He was about to say something when the car screeched to halt. They all jerked forward, and Robin grabbed Patrick's hand. Robin, Patrick, Anna, and Robert all stared out the windshield as they watched a eerily white figure cross the street in front of the car.

"What the hell was that?" Robert whispered fiercely as the figure reached the other side of the street and disappeared.

"I told you," Robin whispered her voice shaking slightly, "That was the thing I saw."

Patrick put his arm around her shoulder and pulled her close to him. "Sorry I didn't believe you," he whispered in her ear and kissed the side of her head. The car got moving again and they were silent for the rest of the ride.

Muncaster Castle finally came into view. It was huge! The castle sat on a slight hill and was almost surrounded by trees. The car approached the old iron gate, and began to wonder how they were going to get in, since there didn't seem to be anybody there to open the gate. Then, something caught Robin's eye over near the end of the gate.

She turned and looked, and brought her hand to her mouth as a gasp escaped her lips. Everybody turned to look at her, but she couldn't say anything. Robin just brought her arm and pointed out the window. Anna, Robert, and Patrick followed her finger to see the same white figure standing next to the gate.

It stood there, staring back at them. Then, "Muhahahahahah!" Anna gripped her seat, and Robert unconsiciously grabbed her hand. Robin opened her mouth to scream, but all that happened was that she sucked in air. Patrick pulled her even closer to him. The figure rose its' arm and the gate began to open. "Muhahahahahahah!"

All of sudden, Robert started laughing. They all turned to stare at him, wondering what was so funny. "What is so funny?" Anna questioned pulling her hand away and crossing her arms.

"I'm just laughing so that that thing doesn't see fear," Robert explained and then continued to explain when they kept staring, "It's not so scary if you laugh with it."

"Robert, that is most ridicules thing I have ever heard," Anna said.

Robert was about to say something when Robin broke in, wanting to avoid an agruement. "We should just go in," she replied looking at the gate. The white figure had disappeared.

"You still want to go? After what happened?" Patrick asked snapped his head around to look at her.

"Yes, of course I do," Robin insisted then she smiled, "Why? Is Dr Drake scared?"

"I'm not scared," Patrick said laughing a little bit.

"Alright, let's go."

-------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------

Robin, Anna, Patrick, and Robert walked up the stairs to the front door of the castle, listening to their footsteps. They reached the door and stood there. Stood there staring at the door. Then Robin stepped forward and rang the bell. It was a creepy sounding doorbell, sending shivers down their spines.

After a while, the door opened creekily and slowly. A young blonde woman stood on the other side, smiling. "Welcome to Muncaster Castle. I'm Linda Collins. Please, come in," she said. They stepped inside and the door slammed behind them, causing them all to jump.

"So, where will we be staying?" Anna asked clapping her hands together.

"Actually, you won't be staying in a room," Linda corrected still smiling.

"I don't understand, I thought--" Robin began.

"Excuse my wife, she needs to learn to explain thoroughly," a voice said and then a man stepped out of the shadows, "Name's Mathew. Instead of the original plans, you're going to do a little ghost hunting."

Everybody stopped.

Linda and Matt exchanged smiles. Linda clarified, "First, we will blindfold all of you and take each one of you to a separate part of the castle," Anna covered her mouth, Robert's mouth dropped opened, and Patrick gripped Robin's hand, "You will find history of the room in there, along with one lit candle and an index card. You will hold the candle and read the card, opening the ghost portal."

Matt went around and started to blindfold them, "When you finish, you may find each other and report back here for your next task." He put the blindfold over Robin's eyes. As he tied it, Patrick brought her hand up and kissed the back of it. Robin turned her hand around and caressed his cheek, and he could feel her hand shake a little bit.

When they were blindfolded, Linda spoke again, "I'm giving you all a flashlight and a radio to contact one another." As they were all given the two items, Linda and Matt stood back and spoke in unison.

"Good luck."

A/N: How was it? Good? Scary? Review please.
