Chapter 5(Nick's POV)

"So, how's it like working with Zak and Aaron?" Bryn asked. Translation in my mind:How's it like working with the hottie Zak?

"Good. Zak is head-strong, over-excited, weird,"

"Brave, charming, funny." Bryn added.

"Sure, on TV." I muttered.

"No, he's modest, and kind. He thinks of you and Aaron as brothers." She said.

"If you think so." I said, reaching out for the base camp chair. It was pitch black. Worst I've ever been in.

"Why was Zak angry?" Bryn asked. It seemed like she only CARED about Zak.

"He's been possessed."I replied cooly, though it was obvious. Zak couldn't stand Bryn and me. Truth was, she only asked questions about Zak.

"If you like Zak, just say it." I said bitterly.

I heard Bryn reply to me, but it was muffled by loud footsteps.

"Aaron? Zak?" I called. No answer.

"I'm gonna go check it out." I said to Bryn, who I think nodded. "Ok."

As I went near the stairs, complete drowsiness over took me. I fell forward, tumbling down the stairs. The last thing I heard was, "NICK!"

I blinked up, to Zak and Bryn's faces close together. For some reason, that annoyed me.

"Is he ok?" Bryn's voice worried.

"Think so." Zak said.

Bryn did something so unexpected. She hugged Zak.

He jerked back, but hugged her to.

"Zak saved you! Before your head smashed into the floor, Zak caught you!"

Whoa. That took me by surprise…BIG TIME. "Yo-YOU saved me, Zak?" The shock in my voice was noticed.

"Of course I saved you. We're bros, remember?" He said, pointing to Aaron as well. "Maybe you should relax for a few minutes." Zak said, worried.

"I'm fi-" we all looked up the stairs, a loud noise smashing through my words. Zak managed to run up the stairs, and with his flashlight looked around the whole floor. He came back down minutes later.

"What fell?" Bryn asked.

"A lamp." Zak replied.

"Ok, new groups. Aaron, you and Nick in the living room." Zak replied, and added, "If you can Nick. Bryn and me will investigate some more upstairs."

I nodded, and Aaron and Zak helped me to my feet. "Good luck guys." Zak said.

"Same to you." Aaron chimed. We all nodded, before Bryn darted up the stairs, Zak following closely.

"Dude, you sure your ok?" Aaron asked as we made our way to the living room.

"I'm FINE. Trust me Aaron." He shrugged, and we sat down in the chairs, facing each other.

"Are you lonely?" I began the EVP session.
