Chapter 17 - What’s that Crashing Noise?

I stood in the dark room alone, wondering where the ghost had gone. I reached towards my pocket and pulled out the watch I had grabbed earlier.

"Why did I take this with me? It serves to important value to me at all." I said to myself.

I walked towards a wall to lean against it but before I got there the ghost had reappeared through the wall carrying an amulet. In the center of the amulet, a small gemstone was placed.

The ghost floated over to me and signaled me to open my hands. I obliged and opened them up, letting the ghost drop the amulet in my hands.

The ghost let out a deep breath and faded into nothingness, once again leaving me all alone.

I stared at the amulet for a while, wondering if it had some important meaning behind it. I let out a sigh and put it in my pocket before making my way towards the exit of the rooms.

Once I exited the room I was met by the female ghost, who seemed surprised that I came out of that room.

"So you've found my old guild room, I'm surprised you even got in it in the first place." The girl said.

I let out a small breath and opened my hand, showing her the amulet. The girl floated closer to me and examined the amulet.

"I'm guessing this is yours? Here, you can have it." I said, putting the amulet on the floor.

The girl went to grab it but before she did the front door slammed open. In front of me stood Steven, next to him was a girl who was wearing a black robe.

"Hey John, I found someone who said they can help us. They're a little clumsy though, ok maybe really clumsy." Said Steven.

"Ignore him, I only fell five times on my way here. Allow me to introduce myself, I'm Mina." Mina gave me a cheerful smile.

'Only five times?' I thought to myself. I let out a sigh and explained to her everything I knew which took me about five minutes.

The sound of a door opening came from upstairs, causing all of us to turn in that direction. We could hear the footsteps going down the stairs until we finally saw who it was.

"What the hell are you guys doing away at this hour? I'm trying to sleep here you idiots. Hey wait, who's the chick in the robe? Never mind, I'm going back to bed." Said Alice.

We watched as she walked back up the stairs and out of eye sight. Once we heard the door shut we went outside so we didn't wake anyone.

"So there's two ghosts living in your house, but one vanished after it gave you an amulet?" Asked Mina.

"Pretty much, and now the ghost girl with the large amount of dolls has it. I'm pretty sure the crying ghost I saw wanted me to give it to her." I said, putting my hands behind my neck.

"I've never seen a ghost like this before, so my tricks might not work on it. But I'll do my best, so please wait here while I try to solve this ghost problem." Said Mina.

Mina walked back into the house. It remained silent for a while until we heard a crashing noise, and another one.

"We don't have any furniture, so what's that crashing noise we keep hearing?" I asked.
