Chapter 14: Chapter 14

"Hey guys, come on in," Stacie called. "I'm preparing dinner."

They both stood up to enter the house.

You guys had been out for two hours. Danni said, not bothering to take her eyes off the divas magazine.

"Both of you need to shower," "you smell of sex." Ruth face turned a shade of crimson red. "Shut up," she playfully punched Ezekiel.

He faced Jasper whose face cringed with anger. "I'm sorry about earlier, I know I shouldn't have said what I said though, whatever is going on, we would figure it out."

Jasper face softened, “I'm sorry too" he wants to hug him, but Ezekiel stepped back covering his nose and laughing. "Seriously, you were going to hug me with your sex smelling body" "Hu, that's gross," he added.

"Wait until I catch you," Jasper bellows loudly, as he began to chase Ezekiel but Patrick stopped him around the corner leading to the dining room. "Hug me instead," he told Jasper and he hugged him.

"I love to smell like sex," Patrick said smiling.

Everyone burst out laughing. Ivan was happy that his friends had turned from being angry. After they both had showered, everybody gathered around the table.

No one said anything only the sound of forks and knives against the plates one heard.

"Wow, this is delicious" Louie complimented Stacie.

"Thanks baby," she told him.

"Jas? " Ivan called dropping his fork on the table. "Do you know who rescued you in your dream"

"Yeah, I know her name," he answered. He turned to face Danni, "Who is Elena Martins?"

"Elena Martins, she’s my older cousin" " I told you guys about her, she died some years back in the lake." Danni said.

"Do you think she was buried," he asked.

"No Jasper I don't think so, because my dad said, they couldn't find her body in the lake," she explained.

"Then that explains why I keep seeing her, " Jasper said heaving a sigh "I don't understand." Danni said.

Ivan offered to explain "There's something more about this house, incase you don't know, he paused then continued, "a belief exists when a person dies and they are not buried the spirit tends to lurk around the house."

"Do you know if anything has happened here before?" Ruth asked Danni.

"No, I don't think so but I'll call my dad to ask anyways. I'd call him tomorrow." She said.

"Please do, because time is running out, there is a book we have to find, and destroy, not just for our sake but for the sake of anyone else that comes to live here in future. Said Jasper whom everyone was staring at.

"What, why you all looking at me like that, that was what she said, not me"

"You mean, Elena?" Patrick asked, pointing his fork at him.

“Yes” He answered telling Patrick to drop the fork.

"Was it Elena we saw that night in the kitchen?" He asked him

"No, I don't know who that was, but I figured out that would be her mother who tried to kill me in the dream," he answered. "You’ve seen a ghost too?" Louie asked Patrick.

"Yelp," he nodded popping the letter 'p'.

“You know what, let's just clear the table and wait with the girls to do the dishes, then we'd retire for the night, tomorrow we'd talk about it.” Ivan concluded.
