Until Dawn | Josh.W

5a- The Ghost

"Thank you!" Ashley huffed.

Charitable +1

"Are you serious, Mercedes?" Chris groaned. "You've never once said anything about believing in ghosts now you suddenly do?"

"Just cause I don't talk about it, doesn't mean I don't believe in them." Mercedes huffed, crossing her arms. "Why do you think I didn't want to participate in your ouija board seance. I am not messing with ghosts, Chris. If Ash said she saw it.." She shrugged.

Chris sighed, shaking his head. "Alright alright. Maybe... it's... maybe you did see something... Let's just keep our heads. We've all had a crazy night."

"Are we going crazy down here?" Ashley sobbed.

"It's the only place left Sam could be, Ash." Chris reasoned.

"I wish we could just go find everybody else, and-" Chris cut Ashley off.

"What if Sam needs us? What if she's in trouble?" Chris spoke softly.

"Oh, God." Ashley sobbed, shaking her head.

The door to the basement popped open and Chris nodded his head to it. "Let's go."

They walked down the stairs and the familiar banging from before in the basement started again, making Mercedes groan slightly.

As soon as they finished the stairs, a particularly loud noise sounded out making them jump once more. They sighed and walked into the main room, but an object came flying out of a cabinet and hit Mercedes right on her forehead, causing a huge cut there.

"Fuck!" She groaned, holding her head as blood dripped down into her eye. She was about to use Josh's jacket to wipe the blood, but she stopped herself and instead used her red shirt underneath, pulling the collar up and wiping her eyebrow.

"What the fuck?" Chris grumbled, getting closer to her and slightly wiping her eyebrow with his own jacket.

They both jumped when Ashley screamed, causing Chris to poke Mercedes in the eye. "Fuck!" She yelled again, now holding onto her eye.

"God! I'm sorry!" Chris exclaimed.

"Yeah, yeah, whatever." She shook her head, covering her eye and looking up with her other one, furrowing her brows at the rocking horse that was moving. "Huh.. why is it uh.. why's it moving?"

"Uh, Ash, you uh, you knocked into it, right? You must've knocked into it." Chris breathed heavily.

"I don't- I don't think so... I mean, I don't know!! How did everything get so freaky around here? Doors slamming and candles lighting up out of nowhere and that specter or whatever it was.." Ashley freaked out.

"Ashley, I think you're kind of ignoring what's really happening here.." Chris mumbled.

"Don't tell me you didn't see that translucent white figure just passing right by us?" Ashley huffed.

"We... We could be seeing things.." He mumbled.

"I'm not imagining things!" She insisted.

"Yeah, well I saw things too! I saw what happened to Josh in the shed! You know? And that's what I'm worried about!" Chris exclaimed.
