Chapter Eighteen

The clique was waiting in a room. They were waiting for Nigel to invite them into his Master's room. "How long is this gonna take?", Amber asked Darcie. She was to eager to see the man." "I think he's going to...", Darcie replied. Nigel walked into the room and cut in Darcie. He told everyone;"Follow me inside! My Master's ready." "It's about time", Dave rudely replied. His friends cautioned him but, Nigel saw it as nothing and simply smiled at Dave. He entered the room first and the clique followed him gradually.
The clique and Nigel sat on the floor, waiting for the man to get for with a ritual he was performing. He was making some incantations that made Dave very uncomfortable. He turned to Darcie, who was sitting beside him, wearing a face of discomfort. She understood Dave's discomfort and told him to keep calm using sign languages. "I hope this man is for us", Amber thought.
The wizard completed his ritual and turned to the clique and Nigel, wearing a smile on face. "I'm sorry for taking a lot of your time. I've been expecting you", he said. He saw Dave not looking happy. He added;"Why do we have a sad person in our midst?" Everybody looked at Dave at once, knowing he was the one the wizard was referring to.
"Why are you not happy young fella?", he asked Dave. Dave only sighed, not giving any reply. "I think I know why", said the wizard. He kept quiet for a while, looking at all of them and added;"He's not comfortable being here because he doesn't trust me." Dave then spoke up;"I'm so glad you know that. I don't trust you!"
The wizard gave a small laugh;"Well...that's harsh but, I take it as nothing. The time you'll know my worth is fast approaching. I know you guys are partly Christians and partly worshipers of Satan...if it's possible in the first place. You can only have one God." "We only joined because of the super powers we had...we know God is great than Satan", Dave slammed back.
"Whether God is stronger or it's Satan...we're not here to argue on that. Let's just fight these ghosts together once and for all", Nigel's Master said with a straight face. Darcie made Dave calm down and whispered to him;"Dave! I think you'd better give the wizard a chance." He looked at her, keeping silent. His mood at that time was unpredictable to Darcie.
The wizard walked up to his mirror on the wall and said an incantation. The inside of the Peter's mansion was seen in the mirror by everyone. The six friends became hell shocked when they saw this. "What's the Peters mansion doing in the mirror?", Finley asked. Nigel answered;"My Master has been watching you guys from your first day in Zantis." "Even when having a bath?!", Ethan asked in a high voice, in frustration.
The wizard and Nigel both found Ethan's question funny. The wizard said;"You're unbelievable. I don't do that. I only watched you guys during important situations."
Dave was now finding the discussion interesting. He asked the wizard;"What important situations?" "An example is when some of you guys were attacked", he replied. "What was attacking some of us?", Dave asked a second, becoming curious. The wizard replied;"The Peters ghosts!" The clique but Amber got shocked, not knowing if to believe it or not.
The wizard swiped his hand across the mirror. They then saw a scene of the time they were inside the mansion in their first day. While watching the scene in the mirror, the wizard asked them;"Do you remember a time when Amber was telling you guys, about seeing the Peters in their pictures smiling?" All the six nodded their heads. "Now...keep on watching and see what really happened", he added.
They kept on watching with their full attention. They saw when Darcie was commending the pictures. After that, they saw when Amber turned to see them and saw the Peters smiling greatly in them.
The clique got scared and shocked. Nigel was watching everything also but, wasn't making a reaction, just keeping calm. "I told you guys but none of you believed me", Amber told her friends with slight anger. "We're sorry. We never expected such thing to happen", Finley replied.
The wizard swiped his hand across the mirror again and it showed a scene of Amber, being alone in her room. They saw when the ghost of the Peters only daughter, tapped on Amber's back. Before Amber could turn, they saw the ghost disappear.
"Is that not the daughter of the late Mr Peter?", Darcie asked. The wizard replied;"Well...precisely...that's her ghost." "What day was this?", Dave asked himself. They then saw Amber open the door and meet the rest in front of her room. She walked past them. "Yes! I remember this day. It was still our first day in the mansion", Dave said in a high tone. His friends concurred.
"What about the time Amber ran down the stairs and met Finley at the sitting room alone...Finley didn't believe her", said she wizard. He swiped his hand across the mirror and the clique saw Amber running down the stairs, looking so frightened. She was trying to make Finley follow her up.
"Amber wanted to go get margarine in the kitchen one day but, something happened", said the wizard, swiping his hand across the mirror. Everyone saw her picking up the margarine in the kitchen. They saw the kitchen get dark and she being attacked by the same ghost. The ghost was telling her something but, the clique couldn't hear anything, as the mirror was only giving them light, not sound. The wizard told the clique what the ghost was telling Amber.
"The ghost told Amber she was going to kill her for always complaining to y'all on what she was seeing", he said. "Am I right, Amber?", he asked her. Her friends and Nigel turned to her and she was nodding her head to confirm what the wizard had said. "Because of that, Amber never complained to any of you again", he added.
"When you went to the orphanage home...", the wizard swiped his hand across the mirror. The clique saw themselves in the orphanage home, when everyone was looking at them strangely. "...people were looking at you weirdly because they knew you were living in the Peters mansion", he said. "Please what does living in that mansion signify?", Finley asked. "You guys are not the first people living there since the death of the Peters. All the families that lived before you were all killed. Everybody knew you'll soon die but, they couldn't tell you because, they'd have been killed alongside you guys by the Peters", the wizard explained. The friends got frightened immediately. "Are we really going to die?", Darcie asked. The wizard smiled;"You're in safe hands."
The wizard swiped his hand across the mirror. He said;"Finley was once attacked in a dream...he didn't tell anyone because he saw as it was just a dream...nothing else." Everyone looked at him. They saw in the mirror, Finley waking up from sleep, panting greatly and looking terrified.
"I want to be sincere to you Finley! If you'd woken up few seconds later than that time you woke up from your nightmare, you'd been dead by now", the wizard told him. They all were surprised at this. "It's a good thing you woke up earlier", said Nigel.
The wizard swiped his hand across the mirror. Everyone saw a woman talking to Amber at the doorstep. "Amber! This is when you were deceived", said the wizard. "I was the one that saved Amber from the ghosts", he added. Everyone saw in the mirror how the ghosts magically disappeared and was awestruck. The wizard swiped his hand across the mirror the last time and it went back to normal state. He walked back to the rest and sat in front of them.
"Chloe being attacked in the library, is also related to this. There's a lot more. The only thing to do now is to face your enemies." "You expect us to fight against ghosts?", Dave became worried. "That's the mistake everyone in Zantis makes everyday. They believe they're being attacked by the Peters and crew. They aren't your enemies per say, a living person is the enemy instead." The six became confused the more. "A living person? Can you please let us know", requested Amber. The wizard thought for a while and said;"I hope you guys feel comfortable here? This is going to take a while so, get ready." The clique looked at him, awaiting to know who really is their enemy.
