Snippet #2160431

"Nope," Ren shook his head to answer Jacob's question even though it was directed at the girl who called herself Clare, "She's not the same one. She looks younger than the other one."

His eyes lifted to look at the school in the darkness. Clare's glowing figure slightly unnerving as he stood there. With the book still in hand, Ren turned it and opened it back to the page he was looking at. He handed it to Jacob along with the flashlight, "Here, look at this. The school's got catacombs beneath it. I think if we go there we can find some stuff on how to deal with ghosts and poltergeists. Wait.... poltergeists... I bet you that's what she is! That other ghost! That has to be it. It would make sense as to why she's attacking us randomly," Ren snapped his fingers as the idea came to him. His silky voice chuckled as he ran a hand through is hair.

"I think if we can get there, we'll be able to find stuff to fight against her and get her to move on," he finished with a shrug though he couldn't help his smile at the excitement of such an adventure. He looked back to the school grounds. Ren pulled out his cell phone and looked at the glowing numbers, 6:35 pm. He calculated how much time he had left before having to get back to his house where he lived. The elderly couple had him over for dinner every night at 9 pm and he didn't want to miss that or make them worry about him any more than they already did.

"Don't know about you guys, but I'm good to explore these so called 'catacombs' for a few hours," he grinned at them then leaned over the book that Jacob was holding and began trying to figure out where the entrance was. His finger traced the schools layout. The first floor was easy to navigate through, the entrance and then the long hall stretching down to the other end and the intersecting hall that stretched down horizontally and connected the staircase to the second floor. A single black mark was the only thing indicating an entrance underneath the school. It was located at a solid wall between two class rooms near the center of the building. Ren tapped the page and looked up at Jacob.

"Ready to go try this out?"

He hardly waited for an answer as he went back to the double doors of the entrance and slowly pushed them open. He peered in, his eyes adjusting to the darkness. It looked clear for the moment, but he didn't know when the ghost was going to reappear. Turning, he motioned to the others that the coast was clear and they should get moving. Ren led the way to the spot that was marked on the map and began feeling the wall.

"Alright, there has to be something here..." he muttered, mostly to himself but his voice carried through the empty hall.
