I will disappear out of your life, but until then you will have to stay with us, ” as he said this I felt cold hands grab a hold of me . I tried to scream but one of the han ds covered my mouth. I could feel my body being lifted and carried away.
    I loo ked around the streets but they were e mpty, not a single living soul appeared before me . With impressive speed they flew down allies and around buildings.   Carlos must have gone to tell Hayden and th e others what happened . H e would not have been able to help me alone, there were too many of them. I grimaced at the thought of how upset Hayden will be with me once he finds out . I had a feeling he may not to o far away though . I think he knew somehow that I would need him tonight. I remembered the look he gave me as he left, like h e didn’t want to leave me. That’s when it hit me. I am the bait. Carlos and Hayden were working together tonight . They both knew I would be the only one that could get him to come out of hiding. Wh en a re they going to ambush him ? “I’m ready now, anytime would be great guys,” I whispered . I wanted to shout their names but I had a cloth wrapped t ightly around my mouth now .
    H ayden will sense my distress and he will find me. I felt like I floated through the air as they carried me . Where are they taking me? I closed my eyes and wished for this to be over. I opened my eyes again and saw a number of spirits around me. They w ere young and strong. I wouldn’t be able to escape from them on my own . I couldn’t even reach my Kris because my hands were bound . I couldn’t think of how else to defend myself. I certainly didn’t expect any help from my father if they turned on me. I closed my eyes again. I considered making eye contact with them, but I knew the light would only work with one of them at a time . I decided to avoid eye contact with any of them . I didn’t want them to know just how much they were hurting me.
    When we finally stopped moving, they put me down on the ground. I had no idea where we w ere. I quickly glanced around, t rying to see anything that might give me a clue. It appeared to be a park. I believe I saw benches and a playground in the dista nce, but the darkness played tricks on me, shadows fluttered everywhere I looked . S omeone has destroyed the park lamps , which didn’t help .
    I began to think that maybe I thought wrong. Maybe I wasn’t the bait. Maybe Hayden and Carlos d idn’t have any idea where to look for me . The t hought of being alone with these ghosts frightened me . They were holding my hands behind my back. M y father wasn’t anywhere in the crowd. All these s trange faces surrounded me . I could feel tears in my eyes but I fought to keep t hem in.
    The air continued to swirl a nd my head became dizzy with the motion . I tried to focus on just one of them but they kept moving. My head fell back and I felt one of them gra b i t a nd push me back up. Their l augh ter shocked me . They were enjoying their power over me. They liked the fact that th ey could control me. Most living people would only have been able to feel a slight change in temperature or goose bumps on their ar ms. Sometimes an older ghost would be able to actually move a living person, but they wouldn’t b e able to see or feel his presence. Some spirits have become frustrated by not being acknowledged and will usually start to throw objects and open doors and windows, j ust to create a bigger fright, b ut with me t hey knew they could hurt me. I c oul d feel their power over me . If there had been only one or two of them I could have fou ght back but there were too many. I felt consumed with help l ess ness .
    Again my head fell back. This time no one lifted it back up. A cir cle was formed around my body . I tried to get up but my legs were tied. How did they do that? I couldn’t hold the tears back now. I cried and begged them to let me go. The circle parted and a woman appeared in front of me.
