Natalie followed the three to a small table by a window. Chris goes over the rules and finally "Ashley how about your conduct the seance?" Chris asked.

"Uh okay?" Ashley inquired, taking a deep breath, "Uh hello? Is anyone there?"

The pointer moved and spelled the word help "Holy shit." Natalie whispered.

"Did you do that?" Chris asked.

"I didn't do anything!" Ashley insisted.

"Well ask who needs help?" Josh told her.

"Who needs help?" Ashley asked.

The pointer moved spelling S-I-S-T-E-R. "Sister." Natalie breathed out.

"Whose sister? Ask it whose sister!" Josh demanded.

"Josh," Natalie said, a comforting sound in her voice.

"Oh come on us this for real?" Chris asked, staring at Josh.

"Josh- it's... it's Gotta Be." Ashley told him.

Natalie nodded in agreement. Josh sighed "Okay then which sister is it?" He asked.

Ashley sighed, "Beth? Is that you?" She asked. The pointer moved to yes. "Oh god."

"Beth?" Natalie inquired.

"That's messed up!" Chris admitted.

"Josh- are you?" Ashley asked

"I'm fine." Josh interrupted.

"Josh-" Natalie started.

"I said I'm fine!" Josh snapped.

"Dude it's cool-" Chris told him.

Josh shook his head "We gotta keep going." He told them.

"If this is actually Beth. I mean we can figure out what happened that night." Chris pointed out.

Natalie nodded, "Yeah good idea..." she mumbled.

Ashley sighed "What happened to you?" She asked.

Natalie watched the pointer move, it started to spell Hannah and then killed.

"It's spelling Hannah!" Ashley exclaimed.

"Killed?" Chris inquired.

"Who killed Hannah?" Ashley asked.

L-I-B-R-A-R-Y. "It's a spelling library," Chris said.

It spelled proof "Proof. Maybe in the library?" Natalie questioned.

The board started to shake and the pointer flew off "Watch out!" Josh shouted.

"Whoa!" Chris yelled.

"Holy shit. Chris." Ashley breathed heavily.

"Fuck." Natalie said, moving out of the way.

Josh stood to his feet "No you know what this is bullshit. This isn't real!" Josh said.

"No Josh-" Natalie started.

"Josh I don't know what's going on!" Ashley admitted.

"Listen, I don't know... I don't know if you think messing with me is somehow going to help me with my grief or whatever but this is not cool." Josh told them.

Ashley sighed "Josh no you wanted to use the spirit board." She pointed out.

"Josh cmon! Think about this." Natalie begged.

Chris shook his head "Cmon man! It's not Ash's fault!" Chris defended.

Josh frowned "I don't need this right now. Okay! You guys are full of it!" Josh shouted and stormed off.

Ashley sighed "Should we go after him." She asked.

Chris shook his head "Give him some time."

"Hey uh. Don't mean to ruin this love fest but we should check the library?" Natalie asked.

"Good idea." Ashley agreed. The three made their way to the library.

"That was... insane," Natalie told them.

"Yeah, it was," Chris said.

As they approached the library books came flying out. The three ducked down and a few mumbled came from them.

"Woah look there's a button." Ashley pointed.

"Well push it!" Natalie told her. Ashley did so and pressed the button which revealed a room.

"Well, Chris you go first!" Ashley insisted.

Chris turned to her "Yeah thanks, Ash." He said, stepping into the secret room.

Natalie looked over at Ash, "Let's look around over here." She told her and started looking around.

"Guys look at this..." Chris said slowly. Natalie and Ashley turned to see a photograph in his hand, he turned to the back and the picture read.

I WILL TAKE THEM AND BLEED THEM LIKE PIGS AND RIP THEIR SOFT WHITE SKIN OFF! FUCKING 16 YEARS. 16 YEARS I WAITED FOR PRETTY LITTLE HANNAH AND BETH

"Holy shit!" Natalie exclaimed.

"We have to show Josh!" Ashley suggested. The three of them rushed downstairs.

"Do you think someone really hurt Hannah and Beth?" Natalie asked.

"I don't know it could be that one guy that was well... watching the Washington's?" Chris questioned.

Natalie nodded. She remembered when she met the twins and Josh, and how happy she was.

- flashback -

Natalie was 8 years old, Chris was 9. Chris had finally let her meet the so-known Josh, he had been talking about for weeks.

Natalie walked into the Washington's home, three kids were waiting there.

"Natalie this is Josh, Hannah, and Beth." Chris introduced, "Guys this is my sister Natalie."

"Hello, Natalie," Hannah said softly.

"Hey," Natalie said nervously.

Josh and Chris walked away, leaving the three girls together. "Well, what do you like to do?" Beth asked.

Natalie smiled "I enjoy swimming, and reading." She responded.

"Reading?" Hannah asked, "I didn't know people liked reading."

"Well yeah," Natalie said

- flashback over -

Even after the 10 years, she had known the twins, now she felt like she knew nothing about them. The girls had spent countless nights together after that. The twins had grown to be her best friends over the years, actually, the Washington's had grown to be her second family. Spending some time longer than a week with them.

You could ask Chris the same thing and he would agree.

The three of them looked around for Josh. Until a door started shaking, "Help oh god please help!" You could hear Josh yelling from the other side of the door.

Natalie and Ashley exchanged quick glances before running to the doors "Josh!" Natalie cried. Ashley and Natalie pushed on the door before they were both yanked in.

Ashley let out a blood-curdling scream, "Nat! Ash!" Chris shouted. It all happened too quickly, all Natalie saw was a horrifying mask, before the masked person punched her in the face, knocking her unconscious.

Chris finally was able to get into the room "Girls-" he said before getting knocked out. The psycho dragged the two girls to a shed.
