Sorry about the bold-ness in the last chapter, I hate my laptop…stupid glitch…grrr…Whatever, I own nothing!


First I looked in the bathroom. I opened the door, and there was Haden, chewing on the sink.

"Get off of there!" I scolded him, prying his teeth from the sink. Was he seriously teething already? And what kind of baby teethes on the sink? Holding him in my arms, I walked down the rest of the hall.

Next I walked into one of the bedrooms. Alex was jumping on his parent's bed, laughing. I set Haden down and caught his arm.

"Don't bounce on here, you could fall!" Oh my God I'm sounding like my mother. Creepy…

Picking up Haden again, and holding Alex's wrist, I continued my search for Heidi. She wasn't anywhere in the hallway. I checked the living room again. Nada. It was now dark, and Mrs. Thomas would be home soon…

I could just imagine me explaining to her how I had lost one of her kids…oh yeah, that would go over well. Still holding the other two so I didn't loose them, I went into the kitchen.

I was about to leave and call 911 or something when I caught her out of the corner of my eye. She was outside, just sitting on a wooden bench, her hand still in the air as if holding something huge. But…no one was there.

I unlocked the glass sliding door and pushed it open. Heidi looked at me when I walked out.

"Oh hi," she said, as if sitting outside in the dark was normal for a little girl.

"Heidi, what on Earth are you doing out here?!"

"Oh, Bobby didn't like being cooped up inside, so we went outside. And I had to stay with him because he's scared of the dark."

I blinked twice. Bobby…? Oh, her imaginary friend! I never had any when I was a little kid, I always had ghosts*…ok, wrong place to go there. I sat Haden down and let go of Alex's hand so I could kneel down to her level.

"Well, why not just shrink Bobby down and then we can go back inside, ok?" I didn't like it out here…and something in the back of my mind was telling me that I needed to get the kids inside…something about Alex…?

"Bobby can't shrink down!"

I sighed. This was going to be a long night. Suddenly I heard Haden shriek and I turned to see what upset him. Alex was gone. He was running off into the night, to God knows where.

"Alex!" I had completely forgotten. Where was he going? I was going to run after him, only I tripped over…something huge (and…invisible…?) and Heidi screamed too.

"Bobby, no come back!"

I quickly got up and brushed myself off. There was a tear in the knee of my jeans…dang it…

"Heidi, where did Alex-"

"And Bobby!" she cried.

"-and Bobby-go?" I asked, hoping no where at all.

"Well," said Heidi, with wide eyes, "whenever Alex is outside, he runs…he runs…"

"Yes…?" I prodded. C'mon I didn't have all night.

"To the graveyard down the street," she finished. Then it hit me. I would have to go after him.

"G-graveyard?"


*ok, I was reading The Summoning again, (I can't wait until May 1!!!!) and in the beginning prologue, it says that mini Chloe talks to ghosts in the basement. Only, why doesn't she remember it when she grows up? I don't know. But, she does here in my story. Ok then, review please!
