Until Dawn | Josh.W

5a- The Ghost

"You chose to kill Josh..?" She asked.

"No! God! No, I just.. I didn't know what to do. It was so hard, and-" Chris exclaimed, but Mercedes shook her head.

"No, it uh.. it's fine. I wouldn't know what to do in that situation either.." She mumbled, looking down at her feet as they continued walking to the cinema room.

Chris -1
Honest -1

Mercedes entered the cinema room first, furrowing her eyebrows at the porcelain on the ground. She knelt down and picked up a piece.

"What is it?" Ashley asked as her and Chris walked into the room.

"Part of a vase. I remember Josh's mother.. she uh, she got this a few years ago. Uhm... when Josh and I started dating, she wanted to welcome me into the family. Hannah was busy that day, but Beth, their mother, and I, we uh, we went shopping. They told me that I could get anything, and I saw this." Mercedes mumbled, stroking the porcelain before standing up, quickly slipping it in her pocket.

"Oh, God, I'm sorry, 'Cedes." Ashley sobbed, rushing over to her and wrapping her arms around her.

Ashley +1

Mercedes paused for a moment before wrapping her arms around Ashley for a moment. "It's fine.. you uh, you didn't do anything. We gotta get going though. The uh- the vase might've been broken because it was thrown. Meaning Sam might be in trouble." She spoke quietly, pulling away from the hug.

Ashley nodded and they all started walking to the door to exit the cinema room. As soon as they were out, the door slammed shut, making all three of them jump.

"What the heck!" Ashley screamed. They walked down the hall and Ashley opened the door, but it was quickly forced shut.

"This is so effed up." Chris groaned. They turned and continued walking down the hallway, all three of them jumping once more when the next door popped open.

"What the fuck?" Mercedes grumbled, following close behind Ashley.

As soon as they entered the next hallway, Ashley jumped backwards, screaming.

"Wait a minute. Did you just see that?" Ashley asked Chris and Mercedes.

"What, Ash?" Mercedes questioned softly.

"I didn't see anything." Chris shook his head.

"What was it?" Mercedes asked again.

"It was like... a see through shape. Like a ghost." Ashley exclaimed.

"Oh, boy." Chris huffed.

"I'm serious." Ashley insisted. "Why don't you believe me!? I said I saw it, doesn't that count for anything?"

"Maybe.. maybe she's right." Mercedes mumbled, looking up at Chris.

"What?" Chris grumbled.

"I mean.. you did do your ouija board thing. And I mean.. I've always seen that if you do it, you gotta say goodbye to the ghost, and you guys said it flew off the table, so you didn't say goodbye. Maybe.. maybe it's here. The ghost. Like it followed you." Mercedes mumbled.
