The Handwriting

Two days later, the second five visited Charlotte in her house. Charlotte was lying scared on her bed, shivering from head to toe. Her room was messed up totally by her. She stood up immediately she noticed a footstep in front of her door.

“Please! Please!! Please!! Don’t hurt me!” She cried, rushing up from the bed and facing the door. Her eyes were sore red, she has cried out almost all the water in her body. Her face was very pale and her white hairs were scattered, curling on her neck and faces.

“It’s okay Charlotte, we are normal people” Fraser replied as they opened the door.

Charlotte was surprised to see five different people in her room.

“Who are you all and what are you all doing here?”

“We are students that ran away from school excursion just to involve into something that doesn’t concern us” Fraser replied.

“I know you” Charlotte pointed at Amanda and the rest looked at Amanda.

“You are Tiffany’s sister, she used to talk about you a lot. I have seen your picture in her phone once” Charlotte said.

“She’s still safe right..i mean, you know we’ve been through some shit recently and it…” she sneezed.

“It have been hurting and ummm!”

“Charlie told us everything” Jake interrupted. Charlotte stared at him with shock and he cleared his throat.

“We met him yesterday while he was trying to run away….to save his life” Jake added.

“How did…how did you know him” Charlotte asked with a scoff.

“I was there”

“What’

“When you and the other friends went into the white house with the little girl, I was there” Jake replied.

“I’m sorry…I’m so sorry! I only wanted a video for my subscribers, I’m just a youtuber, I had no bad intentions…I-I don’t know what happened” she cries and Jane went up to hold her.

“Come on Charl, it isn’t your fault okay?’

“Tiffany is dead” Amanda said and there was silence in the room for few seconds. Jane sighed heavily.

“She was killed together with her boyfriend by the little girl” Amanda said amidst tears.

“Oh my God!” Charlotte cried, covering her mouth with her palm in shock.

“I’m so sorry baby…am so so sorry about that” she cried more.

“How have you been?” David changed the topic and looked at Amanda.

“I don’t know who’s next..I-I don’t know, maybe it’s me or maybe…maybe…maybe” she stammers quietly in shock, looking at their faces one after the other.

“Okay that’s not good news”

“You still have the video?” David asked.

“Yeah just wanna know if we can see something in it” Jake added and she looked at him.

“Yea…It’s on the locker over there” she said, pointing at the locker.

Jane rushed the laptop and brought it to the bed. Charlotte logged into her Youtube channel and showed them the video. Jane, Fraser, David, Amanda and Jake were watching the video when Charlotte left the room and headed to the bathroom.

            When she arrived the bathroom, she activated the tap and washed her face with some cool water pouring out from the tap. As she was still splashing some water on her face, the tap stopped running. She tried to turn it back on but she couldn’t. When she rose up her head, she saw Claire in the mirror standing behind her.

“Oh my God!” Charlotte screamed.

“Want some chocolates?” Clair chuckled.

            The second five were still in the room, watching the video and trying to find out something in it.

“Wait..I saw something there..take it back a little” Amanda said.

“Alright” Fraser sighed reversing the video through the mouse. Amanda tpped his shoulder and he hit the pause button.

“Look closely on that wall behind Elsa” Amanda said and they all looked closely into the laptop.

“The handwriting on the wall?” Jane asked.

“Yeah”

“I think that’s Italian” Fraser added.

“It’s Greek” Jake said and Fraser winked.

“What ya thinking? Are you thinking what I’m thinking?”

“It’s a Greek ghost”

“That’s not what I’m thinking Jake…Anyways”

“Anyone knows what that means…or a hint” David asked.

“It’s not like there’s anyone who’ve been to Greek-ish country or..oh sorry, I think I should speak for myself alone” Fraser chuckled nervously.

“I think I should….” Amanda brought out her phone out from her trouser pocket and snapped the screen of the laptop.

“Those writings are so old, I wonder what they means” Jane said with a frown.

“It’s an ancient handwriting” Amanda sighed.

“From a ghost…precisely” Jake added.

“What is it with you and ghosts” Fraser frowned at him.

“Cut it off” Jane interrupted.

“What do we do now” David asked.

“Find out the meaning of the handwriting…it could be a good start” Amanda looked at David.

“How do we do start?” Jane asked, raising both hands up.

“Oh come on people, we have the internet. Get obsessed with the new world and stop…stop living like the old days” Fraser groaned.

“Borrow me your phone Senorita” he said to Amanda, stretching his hands to Amanda. Amanda dropped his phone on his palm.

“Thank you”

“You shoulda done that with the laptop”

            Few minutes later, Fraser came up with a result from the internet. He was at first shocked with the result but he pretended to be fine.

“I knows that look Fraser, what’s up?” Jake asked, looking closely at Fraser.

“Okay!” Fraser sighed heavily and chuckled nervously.

“This is never not good but don’t get scared like I am right now even though I’m pretending not to be but…”

“Just hit that jackpot Fraser” Jane groaned slowly.

“Raise me and die” Fraser read.

“Charlie said that. He said it was written on the box” David said.

“Yeah we’ve heard that” Jane supported.

“Is that all?” Jake asked.

“Try to stop me and you’ll die” Fraser read again.

“Charlie said that too” David sighed.

“It sounds really serious now” Amanda whispered.

“And scary” Fraser mimics Amanda.

“That’s the risk” Jane laughed nervously.

“I’ll never stop once awaken’ Fraser finished reading. Jake looked at Amanda who was also looking at him.

“Okay that’s scary and serious now”

“Is Charlotte still in the bathroom? It’s been fifteen…..” they heard a loud thud noise and Fraser was freaked out.

“Minutes….what was that?” He screamed and Jake, Jane, Amanda and David headed towards the bathroom quickly.

They saw Claire sitting in the tub while Charlotte was lying dead on the floor without her head. Blood was splattered on the walls of the bathroom and Charlotte’s head was on Claire’s hand. Slowly, Claire looked at the second five with a weird giggle.

“Want some chocolates?” she giggled weirdly.
