Chp 20 Down in the Depths.
Zack fell to the floor as the pain in his heart and in his ankle got the better of him. The group ran to him and helped him up. Woody rushed to the door after Adam and Cody.
"Woody get back here." Addison said.
"No, we have to go after them." Zack said. The group helped him to stand but his ankle hurt and he struggled to stand. He tried to head to the door but the others stopped him.
"No Zack, sit and rest." Moseby said.
"Adam has just taken Cody at gunpoint, we have to find him."
"We will, when we have a plan. And you are in not fit state to help." Moseby replied.
"Where did he come from?" Bailey asked. "Where has be been all this time?"
"Planning all this. He must have locked us in, he is working with the ghost." London said.
"If the ghost is in fact real." Woody said.
"She is. London is right, Adam is probably working with the ghost. She might have inhabited him too." Bailey said.
"Or the other one?" Addison said. They looked at her. "Remember, the other brother killed himself in this castle, his spirit could be here too. He could be inside Adam."
"But why would the other brother inhabit Adam, what for?" Bailey said.
"Can we discuss this later, Cody is in danger." Zack said.
"How do we find them?" Woody asked.
"We can't just go and randomly knock on every door. We need to figure out why he has taken Cody and that might lead to where." Moseby said.
"We need to go now." Zack said getting up.
"Sit, you need to rest and we have to work this out. It's the only way we are going to find Cody quickly." Moseby replied.
"Adam has been missing all night and then he shows up with a gun, something isn't right with him." Bailey said.
"He said he needed Cody, why? What for?" Zack asked. "He didn't know we were coming here."
"He could have planned it." Woody said.
"Why? No there has to be another reason." London said.
"Maybe it is Chance, she might have found Adam too and inhabited him as well." Zack said.
"Okay, there is too much inhabiting going on around here. I am lost." London said.
"It makes sense, she has been trying to hurt Cody thinking he is Ed, the person who killed her. So now she has inhabited Adam to actually get him." Zack said. "We need to find them!"
"Maybe we should get the police, the window is open, we can leave and get the police." Woody said.
"No, we are not leaving without him." Zack said.
"Addison, you have been reading all the scrapbooks and diaries, what does it say about the murder?" Moseby asked.
"Not much more then we have already found out. Chance went missing one night and was never found. People believed she was killed but no body was found. Then the brother called David killed himself and the other Ed, disappeared. It is believed he moved abroad." Addison said.
"What does it say about the brothers?" Moseby said.
"Well David was found in the basement, shot in the head, an apparent suicide."
"The basement?" Zack asked.
"Yeah."
"That's a place to start. Come on." Zack said limping to the door.
"Zack wait." Bailey said.
"No, we have waited here long enough, unless you can come up with another plan. We are going." He said. He limped out of the room. The others looked at each other and followed. Moseby grabbed the hammer that lay on the side and ran out of the door.
Adam pushed Cody along the corridors. Cody tried not to look behind him towards Adam but he wanted to know what was going on.
"Where are we going?" Cody asked.
"Keep moving."
"Adam, don't do this. You don't know me and I don't know you. What is this all about?"
"Stop with the questions and move." Adam said. Cody stopped. There was something different with Adam, his look, his voice. He sounded different then what he did when they first met him. He spoke in a single tone. It sounded familiar to Cody. He turned to look at Adam. He had the gun in his hand and he looked distant.
"You are not Adam. Who are you?" Cody asked.
"I am Adam."
"No, you are not. Chance?" Cody asked. Adam raised his gun and pointed it at him.
"You have seen her?"
"No, not directly. You know her? Who are you?" Cody asked.
"Keep moving." Adam demanded.
"I think I have the right to find out who is with me right now. I have had my fair share of ghosts tonight."
"What makes you think its a ghost?" Adam asked.
"Chance has been inhabiting Bailey all night, I know how people sound when she is inside. You sound just like it."
"Move it Edward." Adam said. Cody stood and gasped.
"Edward? What? How do you....................I am not him okay." Cody said.
"More lies ha, you have been lying all your life, no more. Now move." Adam shouted. He shoved Cody down the corridor. Cody hoped that the others were following them, but at a distance. He wanted to leave a trail for them to follow but Adam would see him doing it. He just prayed they would get to him. He wondered if he could try and make a break for it. But Adam knew this castle a lot more then he did, if he was in control of his own body. Adam told him to turn down corridor after corridor and Cody try to make a mental note of the route they were going. After a while of walking Adam told him to stop at a door. Adam opened it and instructed Cody to go in. They were at the top of a set of stairs, but that was all Cody could see . It was dark and Adam flipped a light switch on.
"Down." He said. Cody headed down the stairs and into what looked like a basement.
"The basement. Why are we down here?" Cody asked.
"To end it all."
