Love the reviews. Keep them coming.

I hope to be starting on another story but have no ideas at the mo. So stay tuned.

Chp 18 Mirror Images

The group returned to the library once again, a place they had come to see as a safe place. Bailey had needed to use the bathroom and Cody agreed to wait outside for her. The group didn't want to split up so they waited further down the hall for her.

"Its midday, how come Adam hasn't appeared yet?" Addison asked.

"It sure is funny how he hasn't been around throughout the whole night." London said.

"He must be part of this otherwise he would have appeared." Zack said.

"He might be hurt somewhere." Moseby said.

"Where? We have explored nearly every inch of this place." Woody said. "I bet Chance got him."

"I am inclined to agree with him." Addison said. Cody watched as the group chatted away. He listened at the door making sure Bailey was okay. Inside the bathroom Bailey was stood at the sink. She was taking deep breaths. The night had taken its toll on her and she was exhausted. But she didn't want to let the others know. They had all had a bad night and she didn't want to make a fuss.

"Bailey!" A voice called. But it wasn't Cody. Bailey turned around but there was no one behind her. "Bailey!" It whispered.

"Who's there?" She asked. She looked around the room but saw no one. She realised she must be so tired that she was imagining the voice. She looked in the mirror and gasped as she saw a lady in the mirror. She whirled around and was confronted by the lady. She was white and nearly transparent. Bailey knew who she was. "Chance?"

"I need your help Bailey." She said.

"We need your help. Something is keeping us in this castle and we think it is you. Please open the doors so we can leave."

"I can't. Not until my killer is brought to justice."

"You can't bring him to justice, he isn't here."

"You are with him. He is stood outside the door."

"No, that's Cody my boyfriend. Yeah he looks a lot like Ed and David but they aren't them. Cody is my boyfriend and his brother is Zack."

"I can feel Ed, he is here."

"No he isn't. I am sorry he killed you and that his brother killed himself too but.............." Bailey stopped when she noticed the ghosts face. "What?"

"David killed himself?"

"Yeah, he was found dead in this castle. Your body was never found. What happened?"

"Ed, he was here. We had an argument. He found out I was seeing David behind his back. He stormed off in anger but returned to kill me. I have to have my revenge." She said floating to the door.

"No! Cody isn't Ed. We are 15 year old American kids who are trapped here. The year is 2009."

"Its not 1941?"

"No its not." Bailey replied. "It is sad and tragic what happened but we had nothing to do with it. Please let us leave."

"I can't. Ed has to pay."

"Stop no!"

"He killed me and made David kill himself. He has to pay." She floated to the door and disappeared through the door.

"No!" Bailey yelled she ran to the door and opened it. She saw Cody on the floor, the group rushing to him.

"What happened?" Zack asked.

"Something came out of the door and ran through me." Cody said.

"Chance, it was her. She was in there. She thinks you are Ed and you killed her. She is coming after you" Bailey said.

Adam jumped from his chair when he saw the ghostly figure come from the door and through the boy. The camera had caught the incident and he watched as the familiar figure of Chance roamed the hallway. Chance was back and he needed to see her, he needed to tell her he was sorry for what he done. But he needed to get to Ed before Chance did. He had a score to settle with Ed and he didn't want Chance protecting him. Adam found himself going to his desk and opening the top drawer.

"What am I doing?" He thought. "Why am I going for the gun?" Adam could feel a presence in him. Against his will he checked the gun was loaded and put it in his waistband. "I don't want to hurt them, what is going on?"

"You will separate him from the group Adam." A voice said in his head.

"I can't" Adam said. "I won't hurt him. Who are you?"

"It doesn't matter. I need Ed, I have to make him pay for what he did to me. My own brother."

"What? Who..........are you David?" Adam said to the voice around him.

"That doesn't matter. What matters is Ed needs to pay for what he did to me. Now go down there and get that boy."

Adam found himself walking from his office and into the hallways of the upper floor. He headed down the stairs and towards the library.

The gun was in his waistband. He wanted to throw it away but he couldn't do it.

David was inside him and controlling him, just like he saw Chance do with the girl. But he didn't want to hurt the boy. He had nothing to do with this.

But he couldn't control his actions.

He headed to the library.
