Chapter eight: at midnight: Overly enthusiastic

"Well folks this way now!" Ian said 'how is he so cheerful? Most would at least try to make it creepy…'

We stopped in the foyer, and Ian stated "don't stray from the group, or you'll get horribly lost." This time he was more serious. "An' no cameras, unless you can turn off flash. The spirits don' like that. Any questions right away?"

Katrina raised her hand. "Yeah the little girl there" 'little?'

"How do you know that there is more than one spirit?" Katrina asked 'that's it ask questions that they won't expect.'

"Good one there… we know because they're in more than one place at once."

"Wouldn't one spirit possessing the whole house be able to do that?"

"Uh… p- possibly…"

Katrina smirked, she liked that he didn't have a counter.

"Also," she continued "what was the house before it was 'haunted'?"

"Well it was a very rich man's house, then he and his wife died. Simple as that."

"Sore wa subete anata no kyōki no hito ga yaku yashiki no iu kotodesu." (Meaning: "that's what all you crazy people say about haunted houses") Katrina muttered.

"Right then moving on!" Ian said, again he was overly enthusiastic.

'No good we need to get around to find out the house's secrets!' In Japanese she asked Oliver, "Oribā wa, anata ga ie o idō suru koto ga dekiru to omoimasu ka?" (Meaning: "Oliver, do you think you can navigate the house?")

He replied "Mottomo kanōsei no takai, aijin." (Meaning: "most likely, mistress.")

"Wareware ga eru yoi,-ji no chansu wa, wareware ga chōsa suru tame ni hanarete gurūpu kara shutoku suru hitsuyō ga arimasu." (Meaning: "good, next chance we get, we need to get away from the group to investigate.")

"Watashi wa watashi no yūjin no subete ni koko ni shiawasedesu! That means I am happy to be here with all of my friends!"

"Aww, thanks" 7 year- old Gail says.

"That's amazing!" Alex of a few months younger says.

"Coooool!" says 8 year- old Kiri/ 'bunny'.

"Hehe" Katrina says, equal in age to Gail.

They are in a field of flowers, next to a big oak tree at their elementary school. Gail and Kiri and Alex's respective younger siblings, Emmy, tray, and Jessica are playing tag in the background. This was one of the better moments in Katrina's life, where she could forget her troubles. Like her father.
