Maia's scream pierces the clubhouse. She backs away quickly and nearly trips on a sleeping bag. Soon the five of us are standing against the back wall, staring at the white glowing eyes staring through the little window in the door.
"What... i-is that?" I ask warily, stammering in a scared whisper.
"A ghost?" Maia answers in a question."D-do ghosts have glowing eyes? Or any type of spirit?"
"I don't think it's a ghost..." Luna says.
"Then what is it?" Orion questions.
"Damn it," Annabelle snaps."It's f*cking creepy."
"Annabelle!" I shout."Language!"
"Okay, so there's an evil spirit at the door that's probably gonna kill us all, and you're worried about cursing?! What the hell, Tri?!" She's getting mad. Her eyes turn a flaming red from their usual black state. Flame engulfs in her palm.
"Really, Trinity?" Orion states."Now she's angry!"
The clubhouse erupts in chaos and arguing.
"Guys!" Luna screams.
We fall silent. Luna never screams. We stand shocked, staring at her.
She doesn't even blush."Listen," she commands sternly.
There's a soft knocking. The door.
The figure.
"We have to fend it off!" I announce.
"I got it," Orion declares bravely.
"No!" Luna cries."Don't!"
"I have to," Orion tells her."How are we gonna get rid of this thing?"
Annabelle puts her hand on Luna's shoulder."Let him do this. It's our only chance."
"Fine." Luna lets go of Orion's hand and he walks up.
I go over to hug Luna. She cries on my shoulder.
"He'll be okay," I whisper in her ear."We'll all be okay."
All I hear in response is a whimper.
Orion creeps up to the door about to be smashed by the figure.
"Be careful," Maia warns.
His shaky hand reaches for the doorknob.
