Chapter #4 Unexpected Vision and Guest

Sally's point of view

That night, after everyone went to bed, I stayed up and stared at the ceiling like I usually do on sleepless nights. I had never expected to meet someone who was creeper then Cletis. I thought that would only happen in movies, not real life. What is going on? Is there really something bad brewing on Spirit Isle? I know Dorothea was not wrong about that in the past. But it's possible it's nothing right?

I threw the covers off me and sat up. The moonlight shining into the room as the clouds outside parted. I always liked to be bathed in the moonlight while I'm sleeping. Which is why I always kept my window open except on cold nights. My room is on the third floor so no one would bother me. Well, minus the ghosts who come here seeking my help.

I don't mind the ghosts as long as they don't catch me at the wrong time. Which is why I placed a spell around the Raspberry House to keep all the supernatural creatures from entering. The only place they can enter is the attic and only beings who seek my help can pass the barrier.

I slowly sat up and walked to the window. A small breeze came in and blew my hair and nightgown back. I placed my hands on the windowsill and looked out onto the backyard and beyond. The crossroads behind my home was beautiful at night. I smiled a little.

"Nothing could ruin this...Ahhh!"

I pushed myself away from the window when I saw Daniel in his ghost form floating outside.

"Lovely night, huh, Sally?" he said, grinning.

I scowled at him. "That wasn't funny, Daniel Phantom!" I growled. "Why can't you appear in the attic like the rest of the ghosts and supernatural creatures?"

"Where's the fun in that?" Daniel asked, as he extended a white gloved hand towards the windowsill. He yelped and withdrew when his hand touched the barrier.

"You can't touch the barrier as a ghost, Daniel." I said.

He scowled at me and transform into his human form, grabbing onto the windowsill as he did. Once he was human, he was able to grab on the windowsill without flinching in pain. I watched as he pulled himself up and into my room.

"Impressive move." I said as I watch Daniel turn back to his ghost self. Oh, yeah ghosts are allow down in the lower floors if I invite them, but I usually keep them in the attic because of the guests, my older brother, Robert and my parents. "It's a shame not all ghosts can be half-human like you."

Daniel blushed. "Yeah."

"So, why are you here?" I asked.

"I was just in the neighbourhood." he said. "And thought I'd stop by."

"You're staying next door." I said. "And why are you here?"

"I was wondering if you've noticed anything weird around here."

My eyes widen. Did he see the attack down at the lake? Did anyone else? Why else would he be here? Wait, don't jump to conclusions. It only leads to trouble.

"What do you mean by wer...uhhh." I stopped when I started to feel lightheaded and dizzy. I clutched my left temple and stepped backwards.

"Sally?" Daniel asked.

I said nothing. Because I couldn't hear him. All I could hear were my own heartbeat and my breathing. I wasn't confused this time. Because I knew this was a vision. It's not Dorothea because she doesn't contact me twice on the same day. I fell backwards and everything went black.

I woke up as pain shot up my back and into my head. I felt like I was sleeping on a hard surface for hours. I slowly opened my eyes. My vision was blurry for a second before a rocky wall and floor came into focus. I slowly sat up and rubbed my head. I know this is vision. It can't be anything else if I was still awake and in my room late at night.

"This is a vision." I thought. "Being a Witch, I'm sensitive to the supernatural. In about a few minutes I'm..."

"Is the girl heavily guarded?"

My thoughts were interrupted when a woman's voice broke the silence. I turned to see an opening to another room. I crawled towards it, keeping close to the wall and the floor. I looked into the room to see what looks like Dennis Philips's silhouette inside.

"Dennis." I wondered quietly. "What is he doing?"

I knew he was strange but I didn't expect to have a vision of him in a cave. Then again, I never expect to have visions in the first place.

"There are people there." Dennis said. "Not just her parents. She won't be easy to watch."

"I should have known." the woman's voice said. It came from inside the room. Who's Dennis talking to?

Unexpectedly, the cave became darker and Dennis started to winced and writhe in pain. I watched as he fell to his knees and started to change. His clothes melted into a black and white tight suit with a white cape draped over his shoulders. Black gloves covered his hands while white boots covered his feet. He still had a well-good build and his skin turned green while his hair became white and untameable like it was made of fire. Once his stopped writhing and the transformation was complete, he stood up. I held back a gasp as his eyes turned red like blood and his teeth elongated into fangs. Normal I'd find this cool if this were a movie and I was sitting in a chair eating popcorn but this wasn't a movie. And even though this is not real, it feels real.

I watched as Dennis, now fully transformed, stretched and sighed in relief.

"Feels good to be in my true form." he said. "Thanks for the spell, girl. It's made things easier. My younger self didn't noticed anything. Foolish kid."

"Good to know. Now about the Snow girl."

"I told you. She's protected not only the people in the house but a strong force that surrounds the house. It'll take a lot to get her away."

"I don't need you to bring her back here."

I blinked as I saw movement in the shadows. I watched as a woman with long black hair, black eyes, dressed in a purple gown with a short skirt and a green and blue ribbon tied around her waist.

I put my hand on my mouth to prevent myself from screaming. For I knew who that was. The most feared and powerful spirit known to Spirit Isle.

"I have another plan. She's strong. I've seen her fight my water minions."

"I thought you said your powers don't work during the day." Dennis said. "Which is way you need me to spy on the girl."

"They do only work better at night." The ghost said. She waved a hand in the air and a stream of water appeared in mid air and landed on the floor at her feet. "But I didn't need too much power to test a Witch-in-training's power. I must admit, I'm impressed. Return to the Raspberry House and don't leave the girl out of your sight. The Spirit Celebration is near and I want that day to known as the day I become queen of Spirit Isle again!"

The air filled with her horrible laugh. I winced and covered my ears. Her laugh was like poison. A horrible poison that slowly drains positive energy from it's victims. No...no...not...her...anyone but her...

"Sally? Sally! Wake up! You're dreaming!"

"What?"

My eyes shot open to Daniel looking down at me. I looked around to see I was back in my bedroom lying in Daniel's arms, limped as a rag doll.

"Sally? Are you ok?" Daniel asked. "What happened?"

"It...was...a vision." I said, hoarsely. "Of a guest staying here and."

I stopped. I couldn't say it. It was more horrible then Constance Black. But I can't live in fear of it.

"Of who." Daniel demanded. "A vision of who?"

"Of...Pellenore."
