Séance

The rest of the day was normal. Well as normal as it could be. After dinner Mr Schu had another idea. 'How about, before our midnight walk, we try a séance?'

'A what?' Rachel asked.

'It's when people call out to the spirits of the dead and try to talk to them. I learnt how to do it for this weekend.'

'Yeah, sounds good Mr Schu.' Finn said.

'Okay, we need two bits of paper and a pen and then everyone meet in the living room.' Finn was the last to arrive, he handed the paper and pen to Mr Schu and he wrote the word 'yes' on one bit and the word 'no' on the other. 'So we can only ask yes or no questions?' Quinn said.

'Yes, and keep them simple too, and nothing too personal.'

'Like this is even going to work,' Rachel protested.

'Be quiet man-hands, you're not even brave enough to do it.' Santana said looking back at her. The only people who were brave enough were Santana, Quinn and Brittany, along with Mr Schu, puck and Finn. Everyone else was sitting on the couch watching. Mr Schu lit the candle in the middle of the table and dimmed the lights. 'Ready guys?' they all nodded and took the hand of the person next to them to form a circle. 'Is anyone there?' Mr Schu called out. They looked around sceptically, when the candle started to flicker. 'Mr Schu, look.' Finn said.

'If you're there can you make the paper move?' And it did. They gasped as the paper saying 'yes' lifted up from the table and back down again. 'Are you in any pain?'

'No'

'Good, have you been here for a long time?'

'Yes'

'Is your name Maria?'

'No'

'No?' Puck shouted, 'who are you then?'

'Puck, they can't answer that.' Quinn stated. And then Santana took over, surprising everyone.

'Is your name, Simon Langdale?'

'Yes' And with that the candle blew out, leaving them in the dim light. A few nervous moments passed and then the table flew up into the air and they were all forced backwards and out of their seats, crashing to the floor all around them. Kurt ran over and turned the lights on whist the others all went to see if their friends were okay. 'You guys alright?' Sam asked.

'Yeah, I think so.' Mr Schu said getting up. 'Guys?'

'We're good.' Brittany said, gripping on to Santana's arm. And then Mr Schu saw the look on her face.

'Santana, you alright?'

'Yeah, I just….there's something else I want to try. We need to know what he wants and we can't find that out with yes and no answers.'

'What do you want to do?' Quinn asked.

'I want to try a Ouija board.'

'A what?' Brittany asked.

'It's a board with letters and numbers so that the ghost can spell out what they're trying to say.'

'Yeah, there was one in the basement.' Finn said. 'I'll get it.'

'I'm coming too,' Rachel said, clutching on to her boyfriend's arm.

'Why do you want to know what he wants, he's obviously pissed at something.' Puck said.

'I know, I just have a bad feeling. I'll do it on my own but I just need to know.'

'No you're not doing it alone. I'll help.' Mr Schu said, along with Quinn and Brittany. No one else wanted to join in after the séance catastrophe and Santana couldn't blame them.
