The house was quiet,but that's how i like it. The only noises to be heard was the howling wind and my own breathing.My friends where out for the night, buti decided to stay at home and have some time to myself.

I move slowly trough the space of the house. Its nice and quiet when pauli isn't yelling his lungs out for once. Sometimes i need some time on my one to figure things out in my mind and enjouy the silence. I pick up my notepad and pencil and walk back to the livingroom. The compfhy chair is waiting for me to sit in and write some things down. I sit down and a stroke of breath is leaving my mouth. Finaly some rest.

Hmm now what to write. I can write about so many things but i have my mind set on just one thing. But how to start from there. Okay what do want to write about. A girl is looking into the mirror and sees some things that she can't believe. It plays back in the 1700. But the boy she sees is from the future. He is singing and looking at her. She drops het dishes and rushes off to het room. Then she looks into the mirror over in hwr bedroom and there is the boy again. He reaches out his hand to her. She takes it and the he pulls her trough the mirror to a big stage where she stands between al kind ofstrange looking people. She is looking at the boy who sings his heart out to her. She cant take her eyes of him.

yeah ,thats what it has to be . Luke that point of seeing things. I put down my pencil and listen to a sound that is coming from the hallway. I thought i was alone in the house. " Pauli, Aki, Eero, is anyone there ". I shout but there is nothing that answers me back. Still i hear a light noise comming from the hallway. I stand up from my chair andreach out for the poke who is standing besides the fireplace.

Carefylly i walk through the livingroom towards the door. I peek in the hallway. Nothing. I sweared that i heard some thing. I walk a bit round in the hallway but the noise is gone. I go back to the livingroom and say to myself. " It was problibly the wind in the gimmy of rhe kitchen". I sit down again and pick up my notepad. With the end of my pencil in my mouth i rhink a out the way this can be set over to a videoclip. In the shadows is doing great but they wantanother videoclipwith it. America wants sonething special. Well come on Lauri you can do this. I repeat in my mind. This is nice stuff you are writing here. Now you need to find a location and then your done.

once again i look up from my notepad. I am sure now that there is somebody in the house.

I hear a soft crying coming from the hallway.

it sounds like the is a girl crying but not loud like she is hurt or something, more like nobody supose to hear her cry. I pick up the poke again and once again i peek into the hallway. Ahivers are running down my spine. I must say this sounds scarry. The noise its getting louder like its coming down rhe corner any time now.

I hear the crying very loud now. Something is coming and knows that i am here. Once again i hear a cry that sounds like a scream coming towards me from around the corner of the hallway. Every muscle is tensed in my body and i can't move. What if it is coming for me. What if it wants to drink my blood or kill me. Its getting cold in the hallway. Like i am standing in a fridge. I see litle clouds coming from my mouth. I am shiffering but its not from the cold. I am scarred. Its coming very fast toward me right now. Noises are echoing trough the hallway. Lauching, crying, screaming. I don't now what to hear anymore. I want to move but i can't. I want to run but my feet won't let me. I want to scream but something is blocking my vocals. " please help me ,i am still young and i want to live" . I repeat in my head. The poke that i was holding get snathed away from my hand but i can't see what it was what did it. First it was in front of me ,now its coming from the back.

Then i feel something is touching me , calling me Lauri but there is nothing there. Or is there? i start to see something foarming in front of me. Its a girl from fiveteen years old. She is looking at me with black eyes and tears a running down her pale cheeks. " Why did you call me, Why did you call me from the death". she say's and her voice is like ice.

" I ... i didnt call you go away l. l..leave me alone". I can scream again and wirh my eyes wide open i look at the girl. She is about my high and dressed up like she is stepped out of the .......... seventh century. Then it strykes me. I might call hwr here. I was writing about a girl who was snatched out of her own time into mine. But did i ...did i realy do that. Its posible but... noit can't be. I look at her. She is still crying but during that she also is sucking all the life out of me. I feel like i am getting weaker as i try to order my mind. " please leave me alone" My voise is sounding like its coming from far away. it has lost his brightness and it sounds very weak. " don't ...suck...the..life..out of...." . I never finnished up my line. i sink into a big black hole off nothingness. I can feel that my body is hitting the floor of the hallway. But thats all that is there.

In my mindi still see the girl. Now she is smilling. We are walking togetter into the bright sunlight. She is telling me a joke and i am lauching about it. A postcar with four horses is passing by . I take her hand and look at her.

I don't know for how long i was ligging o the floor like that. From a distance i hear somebody calling. " Lauri wake up this is no place for sleeping" . In a blur still i see Eero bending over me. " Are you okay Lauri, come on i help you stand up and then we walk togetter to the livingroom ". I feel the warmth of Eero's arm around meand everything is clear again. " Eero ..i ..i saw a ghost and it was sucking the life out of meand it was a girl andshe looked at me and, and, and. " I say and Eero smiles at me.

If they ever believed me, i don' t know. But the video from the girl behind the mirror was a big succes. They liked it very much in the states. Fromthat day on i believe in ghosts. And will always be a believer.
