Oh God. Yeah what are you going to do? You? Don't you mean us? Well it's not like you listen to me. You know if I could glare at you I would. Be my guest and try it doesn't seem like you'll make much progress.

I looked around but all my eyes could see were plants, trees, and that's about it because it was still dark. Looking down I tried to see if there were any foot prints or plastered down grass anything, but it was to dark to see anything.

I sighed. "I'm such an idiot." I muttered to myself trying to figure out which way I came from. I had no survival skills out in the wild I didn't know how to tell direction let alone start a fire. I was screwed.

Okay think. About? Figuring out how to get back to the house! Oh well I got nothing. Thanks you're helpful. You mean we're helpful. I inwardly rolled my eyes.

Maybe I'll try calling Liz. Good idea, get right to it sparky. Sparky… really?

I started easily, mentally calling her name before vamping it up a little bit at a time, until I was calling Liz's name out into the empty air, nothing happened.

My hands started shaking and my throat tightened. I swallowed and took a deep breath this isn't getting me anywhere.

I walked back to where I thought the house would be because that was my best bet right there. I came across a small creek that shimmered in the moonlight. Looking into it I saw something rustle the bushes behind me making my pulse quicken.

Taking one shaky breath I turned around. "Is anyone there?" I called to the trees and open air, there was no response. I must have imagined it. Something moved again. "Hello?" I called quietly praying for it to be Derek.

Nothing again. I swallowed that couldn't be good. A playful giggle swirled around me. "Is anyone t there?" I asked like an idiot again. The giggle enveloped me again.

I slowly moved closer to the sound and the rustle a little girl in a frilly pink dress jumped out. "Boo!" Her small voice said before a giggle came out when she saw me jump slightly. "Hi!" She said in a bubbly voice.

"Uh hi." I said slowly unsure of what to make of her.

"I'm Jamie!" She said twirling around me again and again.

"I'm uh Chloe."

"Chloe, that's a pretty name! I wish it was mine!" I couldn't help but crack a smile.

"So what are you doing here?" I asked looking around to see if there was anyone here.

"Oh no!" She said in a whisper.

"What?" I asked looking around again but seeing nothing.

"He's coming! Hurry we have to hide!" I figured it was just her playing a child's game. I opened my mouth to tell her I didn't want to play but she tried to grad my hand but it passed through mine. I stared at it my mouth a gape.

There is no way she's a ghost! Then explain what just happened. I can't! Someone can't be coming for her! It would have to be like, like a film replaying over and over again. Well you learn something new everyday.

"Let's go!" She demanded leading the way. She didn't stir anything. It must have been the wind.

I followed her through bushes and brush, past trees and a clearing she just never stopped.

"Oh no." She said quietly, more to herself than me.

"What? What?" I asked looking around again but nothing.

"He's here." She said turning around and stepping around me.

I twirled around there was someone there. His face was covered, but he was tall, with curly brown hair. "w who a are y you?" I asked stuttering over my words fumbling through them.

He ignored me but looked to Jamie. "Well princess you got out again didn't you." She hid behind me scared.

"Leave h her a alone." I said trying to sound defiant, he laughed.

"Oh there's a little necromancer. Well little necro we have one rule. You do not get in my way and you'll wish you didn't."

I gulped but pretended to laugh. "You c can't touch me! If a anything you s should be worried about y yourself. I'll slam you b back into you're c corpse faster t than you c can say n no you wouldn't."

He took a step back. "You wouldn't."

"I I h have b before."

He took off running fast. I turned around Jamie was gone. What?

"Chloe? Chloe!" Derek's voice called form behind me. My heart lifted.

"Derek!" I yelled trying to follow his voice even though he'd have found me in a heartbeat.

"God Chloe what are you doing out here?" He asked running up to me his face creased with worry.

"I I I…"

"Chloe you have to stay near the house!"

"I'm not that far away!" I began to protest.

"Chloe, you're about four miles out."

How did I get this far out? "Oh umm." I looked around finally noticing that the sun was starting to rise. I yawned.

"Ooops." I said slowly looking at him.

'I've been out here all night looking for you!" He said raising his voice a little.

"You didn't have to come looking for me!" I snapped, stalking away.

"Wrong way." He said in an exasperated tone grabbing my arm lightly. I glared at him. He stared at me.

"Lead the way." I said gesturing for him to start going. He started and I walked slowly behind him in the quiet.
