The Ghost Hunters and The Familiar Strangers

Adam, Reed, Phoebe, Laura, and Ashley decided to wait till nightfall before they go on the journey, that way it would be easier for them to travel fast. Night came and they got ready to leave. "Are we going to go on foot?". Ashley asked.

"Why did you think we waited till nightfall before we leave?". Phoebe asked.

"So that we can get enough rest". Young Ashley said.

"Well, that and this". Phoebe held her hand and the next thing, she zoomed off in a flash. Laura could hear her sister screaming and laughing.

"Are you ready for yours?". Reed asked. "Or should I hold your hands?".

Laura exhaled. "I've experienced this kind of ride before but please just slow down OK?".

Reed smiled. "I will".

He held her hand as he zoomed off with Adam on his trail. Within a few minutes, they arrive in Massachusetts.

Laura was feeling nauseous so she relieved herself by throwing up all the food she ate. "I hate this kind of ride".

"So where we heading?". Phoebe asked Adam.

"I don't know the exact place in Massachusetts". Adam replied.

Phoebe bent down to touch the ground as she used her senses to find the street. After a few seconds, she stood up. "Follow me". She told them as they followed after her.

They walked for miles before they stopped. "This is the place". Phoebe told them.

Reed scanned the area. "Everyone looks around for anything". He told them as they went to separate places to search.

Ashley and her sister were together while Adam, Reed, and Phoebe went to different places.

A scream came from Ashley as Reed, Adam, and Phoebe rushed to meet them. "What's wrong?". Reed asked when he saw the scared Ashley. Ashley pointed at the dead woman lying on the ground. Reed went to check what she was pointing at and he saw Emerald's mother.

"This is bad". Just as he was about to look away, he saw something broken on the floor. He went to check what it was and it turned out to be Emerald's phone. "It's obvious she was kidnapped". he told them.

"But who would be interested in her?". Laura asked. Reed shook his head because he had no answer to that question.

"Phoebe, can you scan the area for anything suspicious?". Phoebe nodded. "And Adam... we need to check if we will hear any strange sounds". Adam nodded as he and Phoebe went to do their thing.

"You guys should stay here". He told them as he went to the back of the house.

Laura could see how tense her sister was so she held her hand tightly. Before they knew what was happening, somehow hijacked the two of them and disappeared in a flash.

Reed came back only to see that Laura and Ashley were gone. He couldn't stop Phoebe and Adam because they are in a trance or something so he decided to go search for them himself. After running through the woods and back to the house, he found nothing, not even a trace.

"I can see an uncompleted building around here". Phoebe said.

"I can hear people screaming". Adam said.

"We have got bigger problems". Reed told them.

Phoebe and Adam turned only to see it was only Reed standing. "Where's Laura and Ashley?". Phoebe asked.

"They were kidnapped as well". Reed said. "Lead the way Phoebe and Adam, communicate with Chloe and tell her what we found, and leave the part where Ashley and Laura are being kidnapped a secret. We won't want Evan to make a wrong decision just to save her". Adam nodded as he communicated with Chloe.

In an uncompleted building, twenty vampires were inside and Emerald was tied to a pole and blindfolded.

"I just found more boss". The guy that captured Laura and Ashley said as he tossed the two of them to the ground with their eyes blindfolded.

"Good job Austin". The boss said as Chelsea whispered to him. "Tell her we don't need to come back, we've got what we wanted here". Chelsea delivered the message.

"She said she will join us shortly that there's something she needs to take care of first". Chelsea told Silver as she hung up the call.

Silver stood up with the silver knife in his hand, he moved closer to Emerald as he used the knife to raise her jaw.

"We see again". He told her, but Emerald has no idea who he was because of the blindfold. "I just need to get you all in one place and destroy you like you destroyed my family". With that said, he gave a punch in her stomach. Emerald grunted in pain.

"I'll make sure you all suffer as my family did". He moved closer to Laura and pulled her by her hair drawing her closer to himself. "And you...". he said using the knife to stroke her neck, "... I'll make sure you die a painful death". He told Chelsea to remove the blindfold and when the blindfold was removed, Laura looked at him but she didn't recognize him.Copyright Nôv/el/Dra/ma.Org.

"I'm sure you don't know who I am but trust me... I know you all".

"What do you want?". She asked.

"I want you all to pay for what you did to my family". He gestured for one of them to lose the blindfolds on their faces."Now that you all can see, get ready for the show and believe me, it won't be a happy one".

He dragged Ashley by her hair as the little girl screamed in pain. "Watch this". He told them as he took the life and pressed it on the girl's neck as she screamed in pain. The blood was coming out and Laura couldn't bear it. "Stop you monster!". She yelled as she tried to wriggle herself out of the ropes but she couldn't.

Silver pushed Ashely to the ground, making the little girl gasp for breath.

"I haven't even started yet. This is just the tip of an iceberg". Silver said as he whispered something to Chelsea, who left with all the twenty vampires.

"What are you planning?". Emerald asked.

"Just a little surprise". He answered with a smirk on his rugged face.
