"How do you expect us to follow you and go see a man we don't even know?", Dave was furious, walking to and fro. The rest were quiet, not knowing what to say. They were all in the attic. "Amber and Chloe have gone through a lot. If someone says he can help, why not give him a try?", Darcie replied, folding her hands. "We're in the Illuminati but you know we only joined it because of the powers we had...we never completely believed in Satan. Illuminati also messes up especially when we need it the most", Ethan made his suggestion. "Have you guys realized we're being attacked by the Peters ghosts?", Darcie questioned. They all became surprised, Amber being the most affected.
"How's that possible?", Dave asked with a lower voice. "I'm not too sure but, I overheard Nigel telling his Master before he invited me into the room", Darcie explained. Amber;"Who's Nigel?" "Darcie answered;"The fellow that took me to the place."
"I think it's high time I told them who's been attacking me", Amber tried to talk but she then saw the Peters daughter's ghost, standing in front of her, some distance away, watching her angrily. She kept quiet time avoid being killed. "I don't think this is the right time after all", she thought and remained silent.
"We never offended the Peters. Why should they be attacking us?", Finley wondered. "The wizard told me to visit him one more time with you guys", Darcie added. "If we're being attacked really by the Peters ghosts, I think we should use something spiritual to free ourselves from them. Let's give it a try, Dave", Chloe tried to persuade him. Dave thought for a while. He opened his eyes and saw everyone looking at him, eagerly waiting for a reply. "Fine!", he said, giving up. Darcie hopped up for joy;"Yes!!" "But, if anything goes wrong, bear in mind I warned you guys", Dave added. "I warned too", Ethan supported. Darcie smiled and walked up to Dave.
"You won't regret it; you'll thank me later", she hugged him. "I pray so!", Dave responded. Amber turned back to where the ghost was and didn't see her there again. "I hope the time you'll stop tormenting me is fast approaching", she said to herself.

The clique was walking to the woods with Darcie leading the way. They met Nigel who was standing at the entrance, waiting for them. He smiled at Darcie and said;"I knew you'd do it." She chuckled;"It was far easier than I expected." "Who's this fellow?", Dave asked.
Darcie then remembered she hadn't yet done the introduction. She exclaimed;"Oh!" She, to her friends;"You guys! This is the Nigel I was talking about yesterday." She, to Nigel;"Nigel! These are my friends." "Hey guys!", Nigel greeted. They responded with greetings too, though Dave did his unwillingly.
"Can we go in?", Nigel questioned, bowing towards the entrance. They didn't give him a reply. He sighed and quietly began leading the way. Darcie walked fast to catch up with him. The rest followed them into the woods. "I don't feel safe right now", Dave whispered to his friends.
They were now deep inside the woods. Darcie and Nigel were in front, chattering with each other happily and comfortably, unlike the rest. Dave and co were seeing weird crawling creatures, living in the trees. Dave was walking and felt he was resisted from moving forward. He struggled to move forward but he couldn't. He turned back and saw a crawling disgusting creature somewhat a spider, though it bore ten legs and appeared more frightened with a very large body mass. Dave gave out a big scream and tried running away from it. It prevented him from escaping by holding form of his legs, making him to fall flat to the ground.
Everybody else was some distance away and got distracted by Dave's scream. They turned and saw Dave shouting but being dragged away by the strange crawly creature. Nigel shouted at it;"Boka! Leave him alone!" Boka left Dave at once and walked away. Dave ran to get to the rest.
He asked Nigel, panting;"What's that thing doing here?" Nigel laughed calmly at the question. He said;"This is it's habitat. That's why it's here." "This place is so useless", Dave groaned. Darcie cut in;"Let's hurry up everyone!" They continued their journey, with Darcie and Nigel still leading the way. Dave was the slowest of them all and was behind everyone. He saw another strange creature high up in a tree smiling at him.
To annoy Dave the more, it stuck out it's tongue. He gets angrier. "You this evil...", he picked up a stone. As he was about to throw...he found out the creature har gone into hiding. Chloe turned back and saw Dave far away, behind them. "Dave! Hurry up!", she yelled. The rest then turned and saw Dave far away too. "Is he normally slow in walking?", Nigel asked Darcie. Darcie said;"He's normally fast in walking." Dave looked round to find that creature but couldn't find it. Chloe got irritated and shouted even louder;"Dave!!!" "I'm on it", he began running to catch up with the rest.
