I have a poll on my profile page asking a question I really want to have answered. I'm trying to get as many answers as I can, and very few people visit my profile. I've gotten literally one answer in a week, and that's sad. Please answer, and be honest about it.


I only own my OC's! This chapter crossed over with Ghost Adventures!


Chapter 3: Ghost Adventures

Two weeks later:

"Have you told anyone yet?" Graham asks.

I look down at my plate. "Not yet. I can only imagine how Kade would feel about you getting a girlfriend before him."

"He wouldn't be very happy." Graham says.

"I bet." I sigh. "But we'll have to tell them sooner or later."

Graham's comm goes off at the same time mine does.

"Slag it!" I say frustratedly.

"As you say, eat when you can, sleep when you can." Graham says.

"Yep!" I reach up and answer my comm while Graham does the same.

"Guys, the squilsh got loose!"

"Squilsh?" I ask confusedly.

"I thought that was vacuum sealed!" Graham yells.

"The jar fell off my dresser and the lid came off."

"Cody, listen to me." I say, breaking up the small argument, "The nightlight was battery operated, right Graham?" He nods. "Okay, take your lamp, cut the cord, and zap it, but don't touch the live wires. I can't get there quick enough and you could be hurt badly."

"It stopped."

"Good." I smile. "Now just carefully unplug the cord and take the lamp down to Heatwave." I close the comm link.

"How did you know what to do?" Graham asks.

"I listen to the bots when they tell their stories." I shrug.

Graham smiles. "You saved Cody."

"He's like a little brother to me. Of course I saved him."


Chief Burns comes over the comm as we head out the door. "Some men are here about the Lady of Griffin Rock."

"The WHO!?"

"Sheyenne and I will handle it, Dad." Graham says.

"Lady of Griffin Rock?" I ask.

Graham sighs. "Let's just meet these guys. I'll tell you when I tell them."


We walk into the firehouse. I look nervously around the room. "Graham, those guys are from…" I swallow fearfully. "Ghost Adventures."

"Yes. And you two are?" Zac asks.

"I'm Graham and this is Sheyenne. My father runs the emergency services here on the island." Graham says.

"I'm a paramedic, Graham is an engineer. His father Charlie is a cop, his sister Dani is a search and rescue pilot, and his brother Kade is a fireman." I say.

Graham turns to me. "So, who are they?" Graham asks.

Boulder kneels to me. "And what is Ghost Adventures?"

"Ghost Adventures is a Reality TV show my little brother and I used to watch. They are Zac, Aaron, and Nick. Now, since I'm new here, why are they here?"

"To prove that our town is haunted." Graham says softly.


We're all sitting on the couch on the second floor of the firehouse. "Her name is Charlotte Wayne. Her husband and sons were killed at sea in a bad storm. Now she haunts the town, searching for her family." Graham turns to me. "She's harmless, Sheyenne."

"But still a ghost." I sigh. "I used to watch their show with my brother. All I can say is, ghosts are scary." I rub the back of my neck before turning to the stairs. "I'm going down to the bunker."


"Who are they talking with up there?" Blades asks.

I sigh. "Crew off Ghost adventures. I used to watch it with my younger brother. Ghosts are creepy!"

"You're telling me. I've watched all the Haunted Halls movies!" Blades says.

"Kade actually saw her." Heatwave says.

"Okay, now I'm getting scared." I say fearfully.

"Don't worry. Graham told us she's harmless. She can't hurt you."

"What are you guys talking about?" Medix asks.

"Charlotte Wayne. She's a ghost. Ghosts are scary."

"Hey, can I go on your next date with Graham? Boulder always gets to go."

"You and Graham are dating?" Heatwave asks, shocked.

"We don't want the others to know yet. Kade wouldn't be happy about the fact that Graham got a steady girlfriend before he did."

"So I'll keep it secret from him." Heatwave says.

"Good. Thanks, Heatwave."

Graham walks in with one of the guys. "Shey, he wants us to watch the monitors here in the bunker."

I watch Graham and their guy set up the monitors. "Been there, done that."

"What!?" Graham asks.

"When?" Blades asks.

"Never like this." I sigh. "Their Halloween special when I was sixteen. They were in an old asylum. Camera seven had legs in it. To this day, it freaks me out."

"You're not ghost hunting material, are you?" Graham asks once the guy leaves to do their hunt.

"I didn't go into EMS to hunt ghosts." I sigh. "Frankly, I didn't go into it to work with someone like Kade, either."

"Is he still hitting on you?" Graham asks. "Yep." I roll my eyes before turning to the screen. "Um…we have a visual."

Graham turns to look before activating a comm. "Guys, she's in the vicinity of camera three."

I tremble fearfully. Graham moves closer and pulls me in for a hug. "It's going to be all right. She's harmless."

I lean back. "Harmless or not, she's still scary."

"Shhh." Graham strokes my hair. "Boulder and I will protect you from anything that could hurt you."

I lean back and lay my head on his shoulder.

"You two seem pretty cozy down here." Chief Burns says.

Graham and I sit straight up and I gasp in shock.

"Dad! I was just…comforting her. They found the Lady of Griffin Rock."

"I already knew you were dating her, Graham." Chief Burns says.

"I guess we're public now." Graham says nervously.

I shrug. "At least I can talk with Dani about it now."


The Next Day

While Graham talks with the ghost hunters, I find Dani, who is on the roof with Blades, ready to leave on patrol. "Hey, can I come?"

"You want to fly? I thought you were scared of heights."

"I need to talk away from Kade." I say simply.

We take off. "So what's the news?"

"Graham and I have been dating for two weeks now." I say.

Dani smiles slightly. "Who would have thought Graham would be the first brother to get the girl. Are you happy?"

"Very. I'm on cloud nine, hence the flying in Blades."

"Do you think he's the one?" Dani asks.

I smile. "Actually, yes. After only two weeks, I can't imagine being with anyone else."


Graham sighs before walking up to Kade. "Kade. We need to talk."

Kade turns to him and crosses his arms. "I'll say. Sheyenne's been living here for a month now. I think she knows Griffin Rock better than her hometown now."

"I haven't been showing her around, Kade. She's my girlfriend." Graham sighs. "And you need to stop hitting on her."

Kade turns to Graham, stunned. "Your girlfriend?" Graham nods. "You're really lucky, Graham."

"We've only been dating for two weeks, but something just feels right about this." Graham says.

"If you want to marry her, just get it over with." Kade walks away and leaves Graham staring after him confusedly.
