Chapter 3 (Zak's POV)

"Get that off your face, NOW Aaron."

"Get what off my face?" Aaron asked me.

"That stupid little grin, before I smack it off." I snapped, falling into step with him. Nick and Bryn were talking about some ghost story behind us.

"Am I making a stupid grin?" Aaron asked the two.

"Huh?" Nick said, as if Bryn was the only one there, making me annoyed.

"He is, right?" I demanded.

Bryn looked at Aaron, and then at me. "Um, no?" She said, and looked at me.

I looked back at Aaron with a glare that said, Your lucky she said no. I turned back at her about to say something, but her and Nick resumed their discussion.

"Ooh, Zaky jealous?" Aaron whispered in my ear. I didn't realize it, but I was gritting my teeth.

"Of course not, why would I be?" I snapped. Then a girl* about 13-14 walked over to us. "OMG! I'm your BIGGEST FAN! Can I have your autograph?" We all shrugged, and Nick, Aaron, and I signed it. The girl pranced away, happy.

Nick leaned over to Bryn and said, "That usually NEVER happens."

"Except for once." I chimed in, pushing to the other side of Bryn.

She turned to me, and then smiled. Her eyes darted back to Nick again. Aaron brushed up against me, a goofy grin on his face. "Stop grinning, you idiot." I mumbled. "Are you angry that she may have a crush on Nick?"

"A crush doesn't change in 30 minutes!" I tried really hard not to smack his stupid face.

"Yes it can if-OWW!" Aaron yelled. He walked straight into a thorn-like branch, and I bit back a laugh. "You ok, bro?" I asked him, helping him to his feet. "Zak, snake." "WHERE!" I jumped so high I almost hit my head on a branch. Aaron started laughing uncontrollably.

"NOT FUNNY AARON!" I shouted at him.

"Zak's afraid of snakes." Nick told Bryn, who replied, "I know. I've seen the episode." She grinned slightly, and I turned to face her. ".Scary."

"I hate snakes and spiders." Bryn replied, shivering.

"Se? Someone knows scary things." I said to Aaron and Nick, who exchanged a glance. "What? Inside joke?" I demanded, and Nick shook his head, and stopped in front of the Frost Lodge.

Jake walked over to us, and said, "Ready?"

I looked at my team, with one extra tonight. "Ready for the lockdown? Bring it!"

Jake nodded, and as we stepped into the lodge, I watched the door shut, and heard the heavy lock.

"Ok, here's the plan. Aaron, you and Nic-" I was cut off by Nick, who was shuffling his feet. "I actually was going to be Bryn's partner."

I guess I looked pretty evil, because Aaron stepped away from me. "Fine. Nick and Bryn, you go to the room where you see people talking. Aaron, go by yourself to the room where Bryn was cut."

"Why do I have to go alone?" He wailed.

"Because I want to take that on later. Provoke." I then put my fist in the middle for a fist bump. Everyone did it except Aaron, who was still complaining.

"Get over it." I mumbled as I walked past him, heading towards the room.

"I hear you like to tease and mess with people." I began the EVP.

"So mess with me. I dare you. COME ON, MESS WITH ME!" Still no response, and it was 10 minutes.

"OH MY GOD! DUDE! DUDE!" Aaron's voice was echoing down the hall. "What, Aaron!" I ran over to him, and he was shaking. "I..saw a man standing in the hallway!" He said, and I ran towards the engine room, which he was in.

"Aaron and me are now investigating together." I said through my walkie-talkie, and Nick replied, "Got it."

"So, you attacked a worker here. Cut her arm and made her believe it was the other employee. So cut me. COME ON, CUT ME!" I said loudly, in my mocking tone.

Aaron looked into his camera, his eyes wide and shaking his head. "Dude, if it hurts me…."

I ignored Aaron. "Venire su, dolermi! " I shouted. "Come on, hurt me!" I said it in English, though this spirit was apparently italian.

"….i…want…them…" the chilling EVP, made me look at Aaron, concerned.
