Chapter 24: A Haunted Museum pt 1
~Isabella's POV~
After a while, I talked to Naru about a case after saying good job proposing to Mai. I handed him a copy of the case that is happening in England. He knew that his and Gene's parents handed it to us while on our visit. Naru told us to meet them there when he gets the team together. I nodded and went home with Gene to pack our clothes to head to England for the case. I held Gene's hand as Naru got the team together to tell them about the case and he told them that me and Gene would show them around once we got the tour. Once we landed in England, we got to the hotel that is near that is a block away from the Museum. Me and Gene went to the museum after getting something to eat. The director and the owner meet us at the Entrance of the museum and showed us the hot spots of the paranormal activity. The owner asked me if I can sense anything that is good and/or evil.
I told him that I sense a little girl spirit walking with us right now. He nodded softly and told me that before he owned the museum, it was once was a home for kids who lost their parents during world war 2. I smiled softly as I told him that the little girl told her that you looked a lot like her dad back then and he nodded. As they showed us around and I was picking up a lot of spirits. I didn't feel any bad spirits. Me and Gene went to the air port to wait for the others to come to England. I noticed Naru, Lin, Mai, Masako, Ayako, Monk and John. I was happy that they could be here.
~Lin's POV~
I was in the next room when I heard my sister's voice. I got up to go and greet her, but she left with Gene to England. Naru told me that we have another case and that his parents are helping with cameras and other stuff that we needed because his parents has a paranormal group in England. I nodded and called Masako, John, Ayako, and Monk to meet us at the air port and that my mother has a private jet waiting for us. Me, Naru and Mai got ready and have our stuff packed. We waited at the airport and Ayako, Monk, John and Masako came up to us. We went to the jet and took off to England. It was late when we arrived to England. I looked around for Isabella and Gene. That's when I felt a surprise hug from Isabella. I smiled and hugged her back. We went to the hotel where Gene and Isabella are staying at. Gene told us the history about the museum as Isabella told us about the spirits there. Isabella, Masako and myself believed that they are stuck there by something or someone.
In the morning, Isabella and Gene took us to breakfast then to the museum where the owner and the director had it shut down for some time till the spirits are gone. We met the England paranormal team. Gene's and Naru's parents are there and welcomed everyone to England. Isabella, Mai and Masako went to look around and Gene showed us to the hot spots of the hauntings. After a while of setting the cameras up and everything ready and have a base camp set up. I looked around for Isabella, Masako and Mai. I thought it was weird that they disappeared like that. I continue to look for them before radioing for Gene and Naru. Naru told me that only Masako and Isabella came back from somewhere of the museum and I needed to return. I did just that and I Asked Gene if he got any answers on where Mai might be. Gene told me that he tried, but that Isabella and Masako couldn't say anything because of what happened to them.
~Mai's POV~
The last thing I remembered is being with Isabella and Masako in the room of Dinosaur bones. Then out of nowhere 3 or 4 dark figures came and attacked us. I was taken somewhere as I last witnessed Isabella and Masako get knocked out and collapsed to the ground. I was knocked out and woke up somewhere I didn't know at all. I looked around and noticed bars and cages. I noticed that there was someone else in the other cage. I saw what seemed to be a little girl that was taken from a mom or dad. I told her that everything will be ok, but the little girl disappeared and I was shocked once she looked at me. I wanted Naru and I wanna be protected. After what seemed like hours, I noticed a 9 tailed fox come towards me. The fox told me that he was sent by Isabella and Lin. I was happy as the fox placed a charm that Isabella made. I held onto the charm as the fox disappeared. I focused on the charm as I felt warmth from it.
Then out of nowhere I heard the team calling out my name. I called out, but it seemed that they didn't here me. I focused on the charm again and I heard Isabella's footsteps come closer and Gene yelled after Isabella to wait. I looked up as Isabella came around the corner. She saw me and said a chant in Chinese that I knew and saw that she had a bandage on her left arm and right ankle. The cage door open and I came out. I ran towards Isabella and hugged her as I started to cry in relief. It felt like hours as Isabella held me but it was only minutes.
~Isabella's POV~
Me and Masako woke up in a the Dinosaur bone room and I felt pain in my left arm and right ankle. Masako gasped when she saw my arm and ankle. She radioed Monk and Gene. When Gene came to where we were, He came over and picked me up. He carried me back to base camp and patched me up as Naru told Lin to return to the base camp. Me and Masako weren't able to give answers as Monk checked Masako up. Gene talked with Lin when Lin asked. I asked John to grab my bag that I brought and he nodded. He brought my bag over and I grabbed a charm and I softly chanted that would locate Mai. I called upon my spirit guide. A 9 tailed fox appeared and Lin noticed that I was trying to do something. I stood up and let the tailed fox find Mai. I grabbed the other charm so it would glow as I know Mai would focus on that charm. I walked out of base camp with Lin and Gene following. I followed the charm, but it stopped when I passed the room I was found in. I called out for Mai as I noticed the charm glowing again. I powered walked to where Mai is and Gene yelled after me. I chanted as the cage door open and Mai came over to me and hugged me. I hugged back and held her close. I collapsed to my knees with Mai in my arms.
"Don't scare me like that." I said softly.
"I know, but I knew you would do something to find me and you did. I am extremely happy that you did." Mai said.
Gene and Lin came to the same room and sighed in relief. Gene came over and helped Mai up after the hug. Lin helped Mai back to the base camp as Gene bridal style me and carried me back base camp. I held onto Gene and smiled. I saw Naru hug Mai and knew that he was worried about Mai as much as myself. That night, Gene checked my left arm and Right ankle to see if they are ok. Monk checked on Masako if she's ok and I smiled softly. Lin knew that I'm gonna be stuck in the base camp with Masako and Mai. Lin told Naru and Gene that the next day, John, Ayako and Monk go to one hot spot and Naru, Gene and himself goes to another hot spot. Lin informed them that I can defend Masako, Mai and myself. Naru and Gene knew that and Lin got to work on making protection charms. Lin wanted me to save my energy for the Exorcism chant that will happen once we find out who is doing this.
