Chap 3

'Hey Danny, can you reach the peanut butter for me?' Jamie asked.

The Reagan's were home from school and were making their afternoon snack. Most of the time, it was just plain sandwiches but with a twist everyday. Not one flavour is ever the same.

Reluctantly, Danny reached up into the cupboards and dumps the peanut butter onto the counter.

'Thanks' Jamie politely said.

'Whatever' Danny took his sandwich and headed upstairs.

Joe watched his little brother, his expression showed he doesn't mind being treated like this. It's like Jamie decided to accept this for the rest of his life. A bully tactic, Joe nodded. Their father has taught them how to deal with bullies at school. To ignore them, all they want is attention. But one thing was missing. Family are meant to stick together, they are meant to support each other and love each other.

'Erin' Mary called, Erin instantly responding.

'Do you want to go to the shops now? To buy you a new school bag?' Mary entered the kitchen.

Erin took a bit of her sandwich, 'Yeah, I already made a new hole'

With that, both females leave the kitchen, abandoning the boys by themselves.

'Hey Joe, I've got maths homework with fractions again, you kind teaching them to me?' Jamie looked up with his innocence eyes.

'Sure' I finished creating my sandwich and we both headed upstairs.

Settling down into their bedroom, Jamie rips out his homework book and they nestle down onto Jamie's bed.

'So how do I do this question?' Jamie pointed to the second last one.

Two holes take three quarters.

'Easy' Joe simply pulled their plates together. 'You see, our sandwiches are cut into two, but ignoring that, we have two sandwiches. So I want you to pretend these are two wholes'

'Ok' Jamie nodded, looking between my egg curry sandwich and his peanut butter and jelly sandwich.

'Now we have to take away three quarters to find our answer. And as you can see, with our sandwiches combined, there are four pieces' Joe explained, touching each piece.

'Oh, I see. So if I take three of them, then I have one quarter and that is the answer right?' Jamie piled his and one of my pieces onto his plate.

'Indeed' I smiled, Jamie proud of himself.

'Does that mean I get your piece?'

'Hey' I tickled his sides, Jamie squealing.

We both laugh at each other before settling down.

'Ok, how about this. I have one of your pieces and you have one of mine' I suggested.

'Ar, no thanks, yours looks gross' Jamie handed back my piece.

'It's not gross' I protested.

'But you are gross if it was you who put soggy bread in my room!' Danny appeared at the door.

'What?' Jamie was confused.

'Some idiot placed soggy bread all in my bed, so who did it?' Danny glared. 'Jamie?'

'It wasn't me!'

'Its your way of getting back for me not listening to you yesterday wasn't it?' Danny stepped forward.

'No it wasn't!'

'How could Jamie of possibly done it Danny? We just came home from school and he was with us the entire time in the kitchen' Joe jumped into the fight.

'Well someone done it!' Danny didn't back down.

The room grew silent. Jamie and Joe had a good feeling it was someone else, who they knew is real. Danny, by the looks of it, didn't even think about it for a second.

Giving up, Danny disappears from the doorway and the two boys sigh. This is what Joe had feared. There is no way this is a minor thing. They have to do something about it. But what? They haven't seen the ghost nor seen anything flying. They only heard sounds and strange things going on. It was out on a limb, their mother and father wouldn't believe them. They would think this a prank.

'You think it's the ghost?' Jamie turned to Joe.

'Its the only explanation really' Joe looked out the window. 'We not alone'

'So what do we do?' Jamie lost his appetite.

'I don't know'

The evening rolled in, the sky changing colour. The Reagan's finished their homework, Danny binned the bread and threw his sheets into the laundry. He was still angry though, mostly staying in his room. Mary returned from the shops with Erin, oblivious of what was going on between her children. Later, dinner was once ready and their father returned home. Soon, it was bed time and Jamie was brushing his teeth. He wondered about the ghost and on how this is happening, but more importantly why. This is always a reason for why things happened. He thought about how he could contact the ghost, maybe he can talk to it and make it stop playing tricks on them. He doesn't want Danny to be anymore angry with him.

Swirling the brush in circulation motions across his teeth, Jamie spat the toothpaste in the sink. The bathroom was still moist from when his father took a shower after a long day of work. Jamie heard the news that his dad might be promoted. This excited his heart, his dad achieving through life. His dad is a role model to him and he wanted to be like that. Work hard and succeed.

Cleaning the sink and placing his tooth brush into the cup, he dried his hands on a towel. Looking back the mirror, his blue eyes connected with his reflection's. What would I look like when I'm older?

Suddenly, the mist of the mirror began to be wiped away. Jamie stepped back, taken by this bizarre moment. He was caught on his breath, the lines forming letters. Although he was still learning how to read, he was amazed about what was written on the glass.

A test

'A test?' Jamie whispered.

Having no idea, he dashed out and went into his room. Finding the person he was looking for, he dragged his brother into the bathroom to show the message.

'You saw this happen?' Joe read the message.

Jamie nodded, biting his nails.

'Hey don't do that, it's a bad habit' he pulled Jamie's hand away from his mouth.

'Sorry' his head dipped in apology.

Placing a head on his head, Joe tried to figure out what the message was saying. 'A test?'

'What do you think it means?' Jamie looked back up.

'I have no idea' Joe frowned.

'Are you guys done in here, I need to brush my teeth' Erin peeped in.

'Look Erin' Jamie pointed to the mirror.

'What? A test?' she asked, confused by their looks.

'It was the ghost, I saw it happen' Jamie filled her in.

'The ghost thing again?' Erin slumped on the door.

Jamie turned to Joe, pleading him to say something. He doesn't want his siblings to not believe him and now was the perfect time to get Erin on their side.

'Erin, I think something is going on' Joe told his sister, 'have you heard what happened to Danny?'

'Der, he was complaining about it all day and he was really angry' she half closed the door. 'So you think it's real too?'

Looking back to the mirror, then to Jamie, Joe agreed.

'So what does it mean?' Erin tried to accept their story.

She will have to play along to see if this is true or not.

'We don't know' Joe shrugged.

Erin looked over the message. A test. It could mean that the ghost was playing with them or is trying to tell them something. Sure things are being weird around the house but Danny always liked playing pranks. She wasn't sure if it was her brother's doing but her mind didn't know what to believe.

'Whatever it is, maybe we will find out more' Erin scratched her head.

'Yeah, maybe' Joe looked down to Jamie.

'Um, so if you guys don't mind, I'm trying to brush my teeth' Erin walked up to the sink.

'Oh, right' Joe took Jamie's arm and left the bathroom.

Night house dark and the only source of light was the night light in Jamie's and Joe's room. Erin laid in bed, trying to sleep but the whole ghost thing was nagging at her mind. She never believed in ghosts, she always thought they were just a concept that parents told their children to scare them. Well, that's what their mother said about why some stories are scary. But they are told so they can't be ignored, a lesson is embedded in them. So, Erin thought maybe she shouldn't ignore this.

Tossing and turning, the room was growing colder...I hate winter. Pulling her covers over her, a thump was heard from her wall. That's must be Danny banging into the wall again. His bed was against the same wall Erin's bed was. So at night, they hear each other banging into it in their sleep.

Closing her eyes, she let her body relax.

Thump.

Turning over, Erin once again tried to sleep.

Thump.

Ok, that's not normal. Opening her eyes, Erin focused on the wall. The wall was bare, the colour was white. Nothing is there. It's not the ghost she thought to herself. Shaking her head, she collapses back onto her bed.

Thump. Thump.

Her pulse quickened. It's not the ghost.

Thump.

She swallowed, it's not the ghost.

Thump.

She closed her eyes,...not...the...ghost.

Thump.

Raising up, she grabbed her pillow and sneaked out of her room. Heading down towards her parents room, she opened their door.

'Mum, dad' she called.

They didn't move nor respond. Entering the room, Erin went to her mother's side.

'Mum' she begged.

Stirring, her mother woke up. 'What is it Erin?'

'I keep hearing banging against my wall' she bit her lip.

'You know it's Danny' she yawned.

'I know but it keeps banging more than usual' Erin grew scared.

Sighing, her mother didn't want to bother check it out. She was too tried. So she motion for Erin to hop into bed. Wrapping her arms around Erin, Mary thought it was probably a nightmare. Closing her eyes, Erin curled up in her mother's grasp and eased herself down. But something inside of her changed.

Jamie, Joe, I...I believe you.
