After what happened, a day passed. Andrew, already at home, was recovering from what happened the day before, although... He was already fine (his grandparents scolded him a bit for acting without thinking). Sam was also at home, worried.

The day before, Sam had returned the boy to his parents and, after that, she met with Mat, who told her everything that had happened with them. She did the same, telling him what she and Andrew had witnessed... As well as telling him about what happened to Andrew (who was not cursed). After that they decided to follow the specter, the next day, with Mat's rope, who was very tired from keeping it active for too long.

And so... It was 10 o'clock in the morning.

- Hey, Andrew, aren't you going out? - said Samantha, who was knocking on the door of the aforementioned person's room.

- I don't want to. - Andrew answered from his room. - I already did too much yesterday, and now I don't want to. Besides, I was hit by a car.

- I-I understand, but... - said Samantha. - This... This isn't over yet... And we need your help. Let's go see Mat... Moreover, Nicole is suffering because of that specter! Please... Help us.

- Hey, kiddo, do it. - said the shadow ghost. - You're fine now. Also, Nicole is sad... Wasn't she your "friend"? (Although I want to see the specter too... I'm curious).

"Besides, I don't think that young man has ever seen a specter in his life." Thought the ghost.

- Yeah, yeah, okay... - Andrew said and got out of his bed. - I don't like to see Nicole like this... But I don't like to get involved in things like this either.

- I understand. - replied the shadow. - But...

- You know what? Come on now. Sam, I'll be right out!

He walked up to her door and opened it, Sam was there. She was dressed in a white blouse and jeans.

- So... Shall we go? - Sam said to him..

.

..

...

- Hey, Mat, we're here. - Andrew said.

- Hi, Mat! - exclaimed Sam. Erin looked at her funny and Sam... She was a little confused by that.

- Hi. - was all Erin said.

Mat and Erin were in the park, waiting. Andrew and Sam were a bit far away from them. Mat was still with the PSI rope on his finger.

- Ok... Well then... - Mat said to them, he had a very serious look in those moments. - Shall we go now?

- Ok. - said Erin.

- Let's go! - said Sam.

- ... - Andrew said nothing.

The five of them, including the shadow, which materialized then, started following Mat's PSI rope.

- I didn't feel it take off, so I think we're going to meet the specter. - Mat said.

After a long while of walking through the town, they reached the forest.

- Are you serious? - complained Erin.

- The rope goes all the way down... - said Mat.

- Wow... - said Sam.

- Hey, Mat. - said Andrew.

- Yeah?

- We never go into the woods much, so I guess we... Well, nothing.

- Say it. - Sam said, sulking.

- I just... I don't know what's gonna be in there. - said Andrew.

- To say that, you shouldn't have said anything in the first place. - said Erin. Andrew wanted to complain, but did not. - We have to plan a strategy to attack him... And I think I came up with something.

- Let's see. - said Mat.

- Listen. - said Erin.

She went in a lot of roundabouts with what he wanted to say, but... Practically what she said was that they should seize the creature with ropes after finding it, unsuspecting. After that, beat ituntil he ceases to exist and only ectoplasm remains, he said.

- Hey, Erin, are you listening to yourself? That's not going to work... - Andrew told her.

Erin turned to where Andrew was, closing he reyes and smiling.

- Uh... Ah!

Erin was approaching him, intending to do things to him... You know, hit him.

- Ah, Mat, help me! - exclaimed Andrew as he hid behind Mat. Mat stood in such a way that it looked like he was defending him. Sam looked at all this in amazement.

- Hey, Mat. If you don't get out of the way, we're not friends anymore and I'm going to beat you up.

The story has been taken without consent; if you see it on Amazon, report the incident.

- ...Andrew, face the consequences of your actions. - he broke away from Andrew.

- That's the way I like it. - Erin told him as Mat walked away.

- H-hey! Ah! - shouted Andrew. Erin was getting ready to hit him, then he said. - Sam, help me! Huh?

Sam looked at him pityingly, with a smile... Something like that.

.

..

...

In the end, Erin did hit Andrew. Similar situations had happened before, but not in front of Samantha, so... This was something new for her.

After that, they went deeper into the forest. They walked following the PSI rope for over an hour. As they were walking, Sam suddenly said:

- I... I never believed in ghosts, at least not in this way... But now... I don't know what to really think about this. I'm confused.

- Me neither. - said Erin. She didn't say anything else.

- Well... I always thought that they were... Mmm... I-I don't want to say that word. - said Sam.

- Demons? - said Andrew. He was all beat up, but he still kept going. - T-that's how they taught us in church, right?

- Yes... - Sam replied, sorry to see his brother like that, but... She kept talking anyway. - The pastor said that.

- But they are not. - Mat told them.

- H-how do you know? – asked Samantha.

- Did you sense an aura of hostility when you were near them? - Mat replied, speaking of the lady and the ghost they encountered. - No, didn't you?

The human will is powerful.

- No, but...

"The what?" Refering to the aura.

- Besides, you're helping Mrs. Crowell, who is a ghost. - Mat told her. - Or am I wrong?

- N-no...

Mat realized something.

- I'm s-sorry for sounding so rude...

- It's okay, but it's just... I still feel weird about all this.

- I understand. - Mat told her. - And well, all the ghosts I met were real people.

- Unless they've been able to camouflage their... Essence, right, Mat? - said Andrew.

- Exactly, although that wouldn't be the case here. - Mat said, referring to Mrs. Crowell and the ghost following Andrew. - Besides, Mrs. Crowell genuinely wants those ugly things not to happen. She's not hiding any intentions behind it.

"Still, it's as if they, the ghosts, weren't... Really them. They don't feel complete, so to speak, but I think that's because they don't have bodies." Mat thought. "Should I tell them? No, better not."

Erin came up to Sam and said, in a low voice, close to his ear:

- Mat knows about these things, he knows when a person has a bad intention.

- Oh, I see...

Mat knew about those things, but... He didn't know why he knew about it.

...I don't know if I mentioned that already, but it doesn't matter.

Mat then said:

- Well, let's go.

"It looks like I missed my chance to say that I'm not a spirit... But hey, whatever." Thought the... I don't even know what it is anymore. That shadow monster, I think.

Finally, they arrived at a large abandoned house.

- I-it's here? - said Sam, a little frightened.

- It looks like it. - Mat said.

- Well, well, so we'll see the specter now? - said the phantom shadow.

- Let's go in. - said Mat. - No, wait... Are you sure you want to go in? This is going to be something...

- Really sure!!! - Erin exclaimed, and startled Andrew a little.

- ...I guess so. - said Sam.

- I obviously have to go. - said the ghost who isn't a ghost.

- ...I don't want to go. - said Andrew to the ghost. - Oof... I don't have any other choice, do I? Let's go then...

- ...All right, but... Keep in mind that if something happens I might not be able to protect you. - Mat said.

- Yes, I do keep that in mind. - said Erin.

- Besides, you guys aren't going to be able to do anything, so...

- It's all the same. - said Erin. Sam didn't say anything. - I don't think something like thaaaaat is gonna happen... So, let's go inside.

- Yeah. - said Mat.

And they all went into that abandoned building, but not before Mat made a PSI lamp, because it was dark. It really worked, unbelievably.
