I walk these halls every day, all day. I must say, a change of scenery would be very nice. It was okay when it was still open, but when it closed, the place was no longer a nice one, though I can't honestly say it ever really was. Don't get me wrong, I liked my job there until the last few weeks, but it was always kind of... trashy.
Now, it was worse than trashy. This hospital hasn't been home to anything except for vermin for over seventy years. Well, us too.
I looked out of one of the bigger windows in on the third floor, and to my surprise, a van and a group of kids were climbing out, dressed for cold weather. They all held flashlights and one of them held a camera. I just had to smirk. More thrill seekers. Well, at least these ones were younger, more easier to scare.
I smiled once more and headed off down to the basement to tell the others. This would certainly be an interesting night.
I stepped out of the van looking at the camera's facing the old building. I was nervous. Not that I thought there were actual ghosts here, but the thought that I'm not sure I wanted to know what happened between those walls. I could feel it's history from the inside of the van.
I shivered a little and pulled my beanie down, covering my eyes. I didn't want the others to think I was a chicken. I really wasn't I was just...anxious. I could tell I wasn't the only one, aside from being eager, the others seemed to feel the chill that the building was emanating.
"Ready to go Raini?" Reid asked. I nodded and headed for the building.
"Here goes," I mumbled. There was no turning back now.

The moon hovered at the corners of the building and i stared at it as we walked within the walls.
"Your ready?" Ivy asked me and i nodded as i grip my bag and followed the group. I looked at them and muttered myself. I cursed that my mood is changing again. I fought before someone tap me.
"You scared," Reid said but i shook my head.
"No, i'm not scared. You think i'll chicken away..." i said horrified to my tone that i replied to him.
AS we opened the gates, there was a ghastly sound and from the moment i step inside, i can feel the presence of ghost watching me with my every move. I thought of that idea preventing myself to looked at the horrid cem,etary at the side. It si where they keep the dead after the cemtary at the corner of the town was full.
Christopher smiled widely at the teenagers who were walking through the gate in front of the hospital. Fellow ghosts were staring out the windows as well while some lazed around the room, uninterested. "I don't know about you fellows, but I am off to scare these kids away." He smiled as opened the window swiftly. Some of the kids below let out screams of fright and hid behind a friend. This display only made Christopher laugh loudly.
"Must you always scare them away Christopher? I don't see why we can't just leave the poor children alone." Julia Clark sighed and shook her loose blond ringlets. Christopher smirked over at her before leaping out the window and grabbing the ledge. He pulled himself back up before shooting her a teasing glance.
"Must you always gripe Julia?" He teased and let go of the edge, dropping to the ground silently. He smirked and ran at the group full speed, leaping over the group so they got a blast of harsh wind. He stepped behind the girl nearest to him and blew on the back of her ear, trying to scare her.

The group when suddenly the window from the building opened followed by a gust of wind. The group squirmed but i stayed bravely close.
I am not afraid of ghost
I am not afraid of ghost
I am not afraid of ghost, i repeated saying when suddenly a wind appeared behind my ear. I looked back when i saw a faint image of a boy behind me.
I exclaimed as i fell down on the ground.
"Aurum, are you okay?" Raini asked me
"Yes, Yes..." i said shaking my head and looked again to see that the ghost was not there. It was my imagination.
"mAYbe she saw a ghost or something?" a boy asked me and suddnely is tood up and tighten my bag.
"I did see no ghost."
"Are you sure?" he began to tease.
"O...Of course i am," i said observing the my moods are getting the better of me. They shrugged before we continued. I looked back and all i saw was an empty place though i sense someone watching.
I repeated saying, "I am not afraid of ghost" as we continue walking
"What are you doing?" Elspeth demanded as a group of teens turned the corner. "Why have you come?" Nobody had walked these halls for ages, she hadn't seen someone alive for a very long time, she was fascinated. She circled them, looking them over.
"Leave them alone." Cedric told her sternly. "You'll scare them away."
The people were already pale as a sheet. They could almost have passed as one of us. "is that not the point?" She asked, sardonically.
"It's not," he answered.
"Aww, you're too uptight." She answered, turning away from him. "Can you remind me what year it is? I lost track of time centuries ago."
They only stared back, the whites of their eyes as big as china plates.

Shaking his head, Cedric tried to dismiss Elspeth's antics. They'd never seen eye to eye on the subject of people sneaking into the hospital for a thrill. Cedric had always welcomed them, it helped him remember how living had been. Elspeth seemed to hate them, why, he'd never fully understand. Maybe she just liked the peace and quiet that the hospital normally held.
"Well," he said, "I'm going to go and meet them."
Elspeth swung around, glaring at him, "I don't know why you have to do this stuff, Cedric. Why can't you just accept the fact that you're dead?"
He looked down, seeing his soldier's uniform vanish, to be replaced with more casual, twenty-first century attire. "Oh, I know I'm dead. I just don't enjoy it." He said, before ducking off down a corridor towards the entrance, looping back once he reached the foyer to follow the teenagers on their way, intending to pose as just another thrill seeker, one whose group had been too afraid to pass through the gates.

I trembled as I walked the halls. I wanted to be here but...I was totally creeped out.
"I don't believe in ghosts," I heard a voice whisper behind me. I turned to see Aurum. Poor girl. She was even more frightened than I.
"Let's go," I whispered with a weak smile. "I really don't want to be alone here. Maybe we should check it out together." She nodded eagerly. I felt a little better. I thought I made Aurum feel a little better and now I didn't have to worry about being left by the group.
"Quiet," someone hissed. I spun around, wiping the air with my hand. There was no one there. My bottom lip trembled slightly and I shook from head to toe. I knew I had heard something.
"Hello?" I whispered. "Please...stop it." I would have felt more ashamed at talking to a 'ghost' if I hadn't have been so scared.
"Who're you talking to?" Aurum asked, making me jump two feet in the air.
"N-no one. Just...nevermind. We've lost the group," I said, striding foward. I didn't know what was going on, and I didn't like it.

Christopher chuckled softly to himself as he followed the two girls in front of him. Another one was walking slowly behind him, a curious look across her features, almost as if she could feel him. "We've lost the group," one of the girls in front of him trembled. Christopher smirked and tapped the girl on the shoulder, making her breathing hitch.
"Why are you so scared?" He whispered, positive that she had heard him.
Marley~
Marley smiled as the ghost in front of her freaked out Aurum and Raini. She picked up her pace, falling into step beside Raini, who was looking around as if she'd heard something. "There's a ghost following you, you know?" Marley smiled over at the two, pale girls. She let out a stream of laughter. She was only along with these people so she could freak them out. She loved freaking out people, almost as much as the ghost that was following them did.
