The second chapter is finally up. But now I'll work on all my other stories, so this will be suspended for a while. Said this, let's go.

Chapter 2: All Alone

"Ok, Scaredy, I trust you. Take care of the house. Now I have to go, Skullboy is waiting for me. Come on, Doom." Ruby took her bag and walked out, followed by the small black cat.

Scaredy closed the door. "It will be a relaxing period of mosquitoes and hammock... I can't wait." thought the little bat, going in the kitchen.

But, while he was taking his favourite mosquitoes, a thud resounded, followed by a moan: "...Help...Help...Is there someone?...". Scaredy jumped and looked around, but there is no one in the room, exept him. " Oh dear! What's happening? RUUUUUUUUBY!" He ran upstairs into Ruby's room, but he found it empty. In that moment he realized that there would be no Ruby to confort him.

"Oh dear. Ok, Scaredy, don't be afraid. Remember that Ruby trust you, and you don't want to disappoint her, do you?" he drew a deep breath and headed to his room. After a while he heard a long shout and some thuds, as if someone was hitting a thick huck of metal. "Oh no, there they were again." he began to run. When he finally arrived in his room, he closed and barricaded the door and crouched under the sheets.

"What's happening here? This is not good, I'm sure there is something bad beyound that strange noises. Ahhhh, probably BooBoo was replaced by a more terrifying ghost. This would explain his sudden leaving (he used to informed us about his meetings). And now how are we going?"

Scaredy imagined all his friend frightened by a big and terrifying ghost. "We could no longer live here with that thing. We should get out of this house..." tears came into his eyes "NO! I can not let him take away from our house! I never forgive myself for this! I MUST SEND HIM OUT OF THERE!" the little bat jumped out and started to search under his bed. After a while he pulled out a bulky pack and a book titled Ghost hunting for amateur. "I knew that my YamWeen present would be useful sooner or later. Thanks so much, Skullboy!"(1) He sat on the bed and started reading...

(1) Maybe I should give some explanation: some time ago Skullboy has noticed how much Scaredy is afraid of BooBoo, so he give him a small equipment to trap ghosts and the mentioned book. He only wanted to provide Scaredy a defense against BooBoo frequent pranks, but he said he didn't want to use that because it isn't nice to trap a friend. (Obviously, this is part of my fic).
