The Ghost Hunters and The Familiar Strangers

There was tension in the air, no one knew what exactly had happened to Emerald. The way she went silent with the phone on showed something bad had happened.

"What are we going to do now?". Adam asked. He was worried sick about Emerald that he kept pacing around the room.

"I'll try the number again to see if she will pick up". Chloe said.

"Check if her location GPS is on so we can locate her". Jim advised.

Chloe called the number, but it was said the number wasn't available. She tried to locate her on the GPS but nothing was showing.

"Something bad had happened to her, we have to go safe her". Adam said.

"It's late now. We will all go tomorrow very early. Right now, we need to think of a plan". Adam was so impatient that he moved closer to Evan glaring at him. If looks could kill, Evan would have been six-feet-underground. Evan understood how Adam felt, first, he lost the girl he loved to someone, and later when he claimed her, it made her human again and now she's gone. He knew if it was Laura in Emerald's position, he would do the same but still as a leader who loves his team so much, he was being careful.

"What goddamn plan do we need uh?". Adam asked. "Emerald is out there and we have no idea whether she is alive or not and you're telling me about some plans... Fuck those plans, Evan". Adam growled.

"Adam, I can understand how you feel but we can't just stupidly go there without a backup plan. Without a plan, we won't just lose Emerald but every one of us will die, I'm sure you won't want that".

Adam scoffed. "Let me ask you something". He looked at Evan, who was trying his best to not get angry. "If it was Laura in that situation, tell me.... would you be talking about a backup plan?". He asked. Evan was silent "Would you?". He asked again.

Adam glanced at Laura who was also staring at him. He quickly averted his gaze back to Adam and said, "Adam...".

"If you won't save her... if all of you decide to wait for a backup plan before we can save Emerald... then I'll leave without you all and save her myself". Adam cuts in as he walked out of the room. He saw Laura on his way out and shoved her by the shoulder.

Laura looked at Evan and she could tell that he was lost for words.

"What are we going to do?". Chloe asked.

"I think some of us should go with Adam while the rest of us can look for a backup plan or something. I am sure Emerald is still alive but if we wait till tomorrow without doing anything, we can't be so sure what might happen to her". Phoebe suggested.

Evan took a seat as he thought about the whole thing. Laura moved closer to him knowing how much he needed to think things through before making a decision he might regret.

"I'll go with Adam". Laura said as Evan glanced at her.

"No way am I letting you do such a thing". Evan said in authority.

"Fine, Phoebe and Reed can come with me while the rest of you think of a backup plan".

"I can't let you do that". He rebelled.

Laura looked at him. "Tell me, do you have a better idea?". She waited for his response, but he said nothing. "We'll be fine. We can't just sit and do nothing while our friend is out there. We have to go save her before it's too late". Evan knew there was no way he was going to convince her because she had already made up her mind and everyone seemed okay with the plan. Who was he to refuse?

"Fine". He finally agreed. "Reed".

"I'll take care of her". Reed said without having to be told anything.

"I'll come with you". They all turned to see Ashley.

"No, you're not". Laura was the first to oppose it.

"Yes, I am". Ashley said as she brought out the necklace and showed it to them. "If there are vampires out there, then you need me".

"She reminds me of someone". Alex said after thinking about why it seems so familiar, then it hits him. "She's just like Laura when she saved our asses with that necklace". Everyone laughed. "Fine, but make sure you stick to me". Laura told her.

"I'd rather stick to Reed or Phoebe, they are the real vampires..... you are just um... coming up. I don't think I will be safe if I stick close to you".

Laura shook her head. "Just be careful. I won't forgive myself if anything should happen to you".

"I know". Ashley said.

Reed, Phoebe, Laura, and Ashley went to meet Adam, and thank goodness he hadn't gone all by himself.

"What do you guys want?". Adam asked as he prepared himself for the journey ahead.

"What does it look like?". Phoebe asked.

"Are you guys coming or do you want to talk me out of it if that's what you guys are here for, I'm sorry, but you're going to have to go back because I'm not staying here while my love is out there". "We aren't here to convince you to stay. We are coming along". Laura said as Adam looked at her. "You are right. We shouldn't leave her alone like that. She doesn't deserve to be treated that way". Adam pulled all of them into a hug. "Thank you".

"So do you know where we are heading?". Reed asked.

"She said her mother lives in Massachusetts".This material belongs to NôvelDrama.Org.

"Massachusetts we go then". Reed said as they got ready to lead.

The rest of the team came out to wish them good luck. Laura and Ashley were hugged by their parents.

"Be careful". Martina said as they all said their goodbyes.

WHAT CAN WE EXPECT? WOULD THEY BE ABLE TO BRING THE EMERALD BACK? AND WOULD THEY BE STRONG ENOUGH TO KEEP EACH OTHER SAFE?
