The Ghoulish Haunted Mansion: Chapter 6

Emma then grabbed Violet and kicked away the doll that tried to kill them. Then they went to find where the boys were hiding. While they were searching, they saw a ghost ball and followed it. When they did, they followed it into the room the boys were hiding in, leading them to the boys. Lou said, “What’s this room?” The girls entered the room, and the door slammed shut behind them. Once they got inside, all the boys emerged from hiding, and the ghost ball vanished behind the wall. Then they all looked around and saw it looked like a witch’s cottage inside. Then they looked at their spell book and thought it belonged there. Emma said, “Violet, did anyone other than your master and his kids live here?” Violet said, “No.” Emma said, “Then I wonder why he would decorate this room like a witch’s cottage.” Then they started to hear a witch laughing. Once they did, they all turned around and saw a witch ghost appear. Then the witch ghost grabbed Mike and took the spell book from him. The witch ghost said, “Thank you for my book.”

Violet jumped and knocked the book out of the witch’s hands. Violet said, “I think not, Sarah Belington.” Emma said, “Sarah Belington? The witch who lived one hundred years ago?” Sarah said, “That’s right, now give me my book.” Violet said, “Never.” Sarah said, “Violet Wellington. It’s been a long time.” Violet said, “One century. Not that you ever had a good side on any day of those years.” Emma said, “Let’s get out of here.” Violet said, “Here’s the book.” Alex grabbed the book, and they all ran out. The witch’s ghost chased them outside the room and then blasted three paintings on the wall. The witch’s ghost said, “Bring me the book.” When the people came out of their pictures, they grabbed Alex and tried to take the book from him. Alex said, “Bobby.” Alex threw the book at Bobby, and he caught it. The witch’s ghost said, “Enough.” The witch’s ghost blasted the tree from outside the window, and it opened the window and grabbed Bobby. Bobby said, “Mike.” Bobby threw the book at Mike, and he caught it, but once he did, the floor broke, and he fell through it. Mike said, “Pablo.” Mike slid the book across the floor to Pablo, and he grabbed it. Then, a rope lassoed Pablo’s legs, and he fell to the floor. Pablo said, “Tom.” Pablo threw the book at Tom, and he caught it. Then, the rug beneath his feet came to life and wrapped around him. Tom said, “Emma.” Tom threw the book, and Emma caught it. Once Emma grabbed it, Sarah made the floor sticky, and Emma’s feet got stuck. Emma said, “Susan.” Emma threw the book, and Susan caught it. Sarah stretched her arm out and took it from Susan. Sarah said, “At last, my book.” Susan said, “It’s not yours anymore. We need it more than you.” Susan ran up to Sarah and took the book from her.

After Susan took the book from Sarah, she and Violet freed the others and ran off with the book. Violet got Alex down by knocking the paintings down. Once she did, the people in the portraits let go of Alex and returned to their pictures. Emma grabbed Bobby and made the tree let go of him. Then Emma helped Mike and Violet cut the rope that lassoed Pablo with her claws. She also used her nails to cut Tom from the rug that captured him. Then Susan grabbed Emma, pulled her off the floor, and set her down. Then they all ran for their lives and took the spell book. Sarah said, “You won’t get away with this that easily.” Sarah chased after the kids and Violet, trying to get her book back, but Sarah lost them when they got downstairs. Sarah looked everywhere for the kids and Violet, but they ran upstairs and lost Sarah when they got there.

After they got away from Sarah, a rainstorm started, and the wind blew all the boards off the windows and knocked down the kids’ barricades on the doors. Then the wind blew them open and scared the kids. Then they slammed them all shut, and the lightning flashed through the windows. Then the wind blew the windows back open, so the kids banged them closed again and started to board all the doors and windows back up with wooden boards and metal chains to strengthen their barricade. Then they all walked back upstairs, and the stairs were creaky on the way up. When they got up there, they saw another sheeted ghost. Then they all screamed in terror, ran for their lives, and hid somewhere different. While they were hiding, they started to hear moaning. When they did, Lou looked from under the bed, and Mike looked from under the bedsheets, and they both saw a ghost leaving the room.

Meanwhile, Emma heard moaning from outside the bathroom door, so she waited for it to go away. Emma looked at herself in the mirror and said, “It’s fine, Emma. You and your friends will get out of this mess.” After Emma spoke to her reflection, it spoke back to her. Emma’s image in the mirror said, “Of course you will. You’re fine, and so is your hair. You look lovely.” Emma screamed when she saw her reflection talk back to her. Emma said, “My reflection never spoke back to me before.” Emma looked at her reflection again, and it said, “Of course not; I was in a regular mirror each time you spoke to me. This time, you’re in a haunted house.” Emma screamed in terror and then ran out of the bathroom before her reflection said anything else.

Meanwhile, Mike fell off the bed and saw some green goo. He touched it, and half his hand got covered in it. Lou said, “What is that?” Mike said, “Some kind of goo.” Then they all started to hear moaning again, so Mike and Lou left their room and tiptoed through the hallways. Then they saw a trail of green goop on the wall and started to get scared. Mike said, “A trail of goop. A terrible trail of goop.” Then the bathroom door opened, and a ghostly fog came out, along with some eerie moaning. Then they started to hear somebody rattling chains. Mike said, “The terrible rattling. The terrible rattling.” Then, they saw a ghost covered in chains jump out of the bathroom and into the fog. Lou screamed, “GHOST!” Lou jumped up and got her head stuck in the ceiling. While Lou had her head stuck, Mike broke a door down and ran into the room. Then the sheeted ghost floated into the hallway, moaning, and when he met up with the chained spirit, both screamed in terror because they were both scared of each other. When Mike thought it was safe to come out, he exited the room he was hiding in and grabbed Lou’s legs because he was still scared. Once Mike grabbed her legs, Lou got pulled out of the ceiling, and they both fell to the ground. Once they both got down, they looked in front of them and saw another ghost. Then they both screamed in terror and ran for their lives.
