Chapter 1
Sophie's pov
We thought it would be a normal case to an extent regarding the fact we where unable to bring any explosives because of Sir John Fairfax's fear of us burning his very large mansion to the ground. The red room was absolutely terrifying but we made our way to the secret ruins of the satanic priory, where many a monk decided to commit joint suicide, after getting chased by chanting monks down the actual screaming staircase as Lucy helped us discover.
"shit there's quite a few of them" it tried to joke with Lockwood but he was too focused on drawing his sword and preparing to fight,"Luce, me and Soph will hold them off, look for the source George." me and Lucy unsheathed our rapier and moved to either side of Lockwood. "what do you find the source? there's liturally nothing in here" George wondered around aimlessly and panicked. I looked towards Lucy and realised she wasn't moving but just stood there barely holding her rapier up. The ghosts moved forward so we edged back delaying the inevitable need to fight them; I was too detracted by keeping the ghosts at bay when I noticed Lucy stood at the side of the stone well without her sword, shit, she was ghost locked who was closest? "LOCKWOOD GET LUCY!" I shouted to my cousin. George had joined me defending from the monks at the other side of the room. I suddenly felt a freezing burn on my wrist my hand cramped and I nearly dropped my rapier, I turned towards the cause swinging my rapier with me cutting through the ghost, I backed away quickly a turned to see the others all sat by the edge of the well Lucy was panting clearly very panicked, George looked like the malaise was getting to him and Lockwood looked less calm then usual; I ran to join them. Lucy pointed towards the well, " I found their source it's down the well, their bodies!". George sighed" its too late, there's too many of them". "Lockwood please tell me you brought that spare f-" as I spoke he pulled out a big flare out of his coat pocket, " this better work, it cost enough" he pulled the pin and threw it down the well " make a wish" we all ducked but that didn't stop us being chucked across the dark room. I didn't have time to see where the others where thrown before my back slammed againest the corner of a ruined wall and everything went black.
