Emily's song floated through the air, making the dim bedroom horrific and causing fear to strike the six young children motionless. Gavin swallowed nervously when he saw several silent teas slip down his youngest sisters chubby cheeks and drop onto the teddy bear. Her eyes glistened with more tears that threatened to spill over and [i]that[/i] would not be good. Climbing over the bed, and trying to avoid making any sort of motion towards the singing spirit. Gav sat beside the young girl and hugged her tightly. "It's okay, Loo. It's okay." His quiet voice was barely a whisper as they entire room stood still for several long moments. 

With eyes squeezed shut, Gene tried to drown out the sounds and grasped hold of Nathan's hand in the process. It felt like hours, but could only have been minutes, before the sing-song voice quieted and the dark entity faded from view. Yet they could still feel her hallow eyes staring at them, watching them... just like always. "I'm scared..." Lucy's timid voice quivered with tears that she wiped away from her cheeks with the heel of her hand. "I don't wan't to play her game." Gene looked towards her sister with sharp eyes. "Lucy! Don't say that, if she hears do you know how mad she will be?" Gene's voice was a hushed whisper, growing louder bit by slow bit. "Sorry." Loo's quiet voice mumbled as she looked down at her teddy bear.

The dismal bedroom did nothing to help the creepiness that surrounded them almost constantly. "We can go outside to the playhouse and talk." The playhouse was a safe place, somewhere that Emily's fear didn't reach for some unknown reason. They talked there, about almost everything, and it was nearly the only safe haven the children had anymore. Gavin had drawn his knees up so that his chin rested on top of them as his blue eyes scanned the group quizzically. 

"I wanna go." Lucy sounded timid as she gazed up at her idolized big brother. 

"Me too..." Gene murmured, looking towards there friends. "I think I can feel her coming again." And that was true, from the shimmering grey shape that was forming in the corner. Her heart thudded in her chest as she scooted closer to the group an watched the levitating shape with caution. "So we should probably go now..."
