An annoyed sigh escaped the eight-year-old girl as Gene waited impatiently for her younger sister. "C'mon Lucy! Gav is already on his way over." Her voice echoed through the empty lobby that was the entrance of their rather large home. "Coming, coming." Lucy breathlessly sprinted towards Genevieve, her sweater hung loosely off one shoulder and her wild curls were a mess around her face. Another sigh, amusing in it's exasperation, made it's way from Gene's body as she grabbed her sisters arm an helped the poor child fix her clothes. "You're a mess, let me help you." After righting the thin sweater and helping the smaller child with her shoes Gene turned towards Lucy's hair with a look of disgust and pity. "Ever heard of a brush, Loo?"

The youngest Williams child scoffed and crossed her arms defiantly. "I don't need your help, I look perfectly fine!" Her thin voice was a whine that made her sister grimace. "Yeah right, just let me put it back in a ponytail at least." Without waiting for her sister to agree, Gene tugged the golden locks of hair that were on her sisters head back into a tight pony that rested on the top of Lucy's head. Several small fly-aways escaped the elastic and framed the little girls round face not unpleasantly. Despite the slight messiness, this hairstyle still looked one hundred percent better then the previous mane Loo had worn. "Now come on, Gavin's probably at the house already." Lucy pulled away from the tight grip Gene had on her arm and dashed back into the house. "Wait! I forgot my bear!"

"Lucy!"

Meanwhile, Gavin had made his way across both lush lawns and inside his neighbor's house. There was no hard and fast rules when it came to coming and going between his own household and the one of his best friends, so he didn't think twice about pushing open the heavy, yet beautifully carved, door and stepping over the threshold. His body as immediately hit but the chill that inevitably came when Emily was present. He could hear her faint giggled whisper eerily against his skin, sending chills down the young boys spine and causing him to walk faster through the house that he knew as if it were his own. Taking the stairs two at a time he didn't dare look behind himself because he just [i]knew[/i] that if he did Emily would be standing right there with her endless black eyes and petrifying grin. 

He shoved his way into the room where he knew Nathan, Julia and Sarah would be. They were lying on the bed, looking at each other with mutual expressions of fear that reflected in Gavin's own face. "H-hey guys." He murmured, taking two long strides and jumping onto the bed next to Nathan, all the while ignoring the faded figure who loomed in the corner. For some reason, this house was more haunted by this malevolent spirit, that isn't to say he hadn't felt her presence while at his own home, it was just that the [i]feeling[/i] was stronger here. "How are you doing, Nate? My mom said you had an accident?" Trying his best not to glance over in the corner, Gav mumbled towards his friend. 

Before Nathan could answer, however, a whirlwind of drama rushed in the room with Genevieve. "Sorry we're late, someone," she shot a glare to her younger sister who had booked it towards the bed and was no curled up in a ball, staring fearfully towards the corner. "Had to go get her stupid teddy bear."

"He helps keep her away!" 

"No he doesn't!"

As if to validate Gene's response, the bear flew into the air suddenly and stayed suspended by the ceiling for several long moments before it landed lightly back on Lucy's lap. "Told you." Gene's voice held none of the contempt that she would have wished for and was entirely full of fear as she climbed up on the bed and looked towards her brother and her best friend. "How are you?" 

"I just asked that, dummie!" Gavin retorted looking at his twin with furrowed eyebrows. 

"Yeah well I'm better then you!" She dismissed her brother and stared questioningly at Nathan instead.
