The Riddle Of Riddles

Chapter Eleven.

After we had both calmed down from our mad panic we sat down in the kitchen and plunged into deep thought.

What do we do now? Break out? Ruin the house? I couldn't do that i loved this house too much. Stay here? But theres no food and theres a creepy.. What even was it a ghost? Spirit? Was this just a dream?

"Yoo hooo..? Any one home? Earth to Xena." Scott crashed my train of thought. Jolting me back to reality.
"God Scott, give me a heart attack why don't you!"
"Sorry, you looked out of it, I wanted to see if you were okay."
"Okay? Okay? I'm trapped in grandmas house. Theres no food and hungry. All I want to do is go home but theres a fricken ghost floating round who has stolen our keys and locked us in! I'm far from okay!" tears of frustration rolled down my cheeks. Scott was shocked by the sudden change in my mood. He wrapped me in his strong arms stroking my hair, trying to calm me down.
"I know, I know. I'm sorry stupid question. Don't worry we'll work through this we'll fix it. Together. We can do it together. We're a good team. Remember. Remember plotting to get the cookies when Gran wasn't looking, or trying to distract her so we could stay up later. Remember we can do anything we put our minds to. We'll get out. Don't you worry" Scott was right, i needed to get a grip. I wasn't any good to him in this state.

Once i calmed down, again we came up with a plan. Or tried to.
"Hey lets make a ouija board and we'll talk to it.. Her?" I sent Scott the 'be serious' look "Sorry, just trying to lighten the mood"
"Not the time or place."
"Okay, i'll be serious." he sighed "Hey we never followed the tracks in the lounge, they might..."
"NO! I'm not going back in there." I cut him off I was not going back in that room!
"Come one she went, she wont be there again. What's sitting here gonna do? Nothing. Whats your plan then?" He did have a point, but all my insides were screaming at me to not go back.

"Fine, you lead the way. And dont even think of letting go of my hand!"
"Deal"
