That same night, in the living room watching Amber drinking a fruit juice from a glass cup. She was just coming out of the kitchen and want to sit on one of the parlour's chairs. A while after she sat down, she heard a knock on the door. She wondered why someone would be knocking at the door by that time of the night. She got up and went to open the door anyways.
She opened the door and saw a woman crying. "I came here to take my son with me", the woman told her. She was covering her face with a translucent veil, making her face not to be clearly seen. "There's no visitor in here. You must have come to the wrong place", Amber replied, feeling confused. "I spoke angrily at him and every time I do that, he always runs away from home and comes here", the mother explained. Amber nodded her head as she now understood.
" I want you to bring your torch so we can search round this building", the woman pleaded. Amber tried to refuse but she insisted. "Do it for a sad mother's sake. I'm scared to be out here alone", she pleaded again, holding Amber's hand. Amber got fed up;"Wait here! Let me go get the torch." The woman hailed praises on her, looking so happy. Amber closed the door to go get it. The woman suddenly became angry when she closed the door.

They were at the backyard of the mansion. Amber was checking behind and inside any possible hiding place. The mother was yelling her son's name; "Simon! Simon!" "I haven't seen anyone", Amber told her. She heaved a sigh; "I don't think he came here after all." "Let's go!", Amber began walking away. She walked some distance away and noticed the woman wasn't following her behind. She turned back and saw the woman faraway, backing her. She wondered at what could be keeping the woman over there. A strong wind came up from the woman's direction carrying dust particles alongside with it. Amber raised her hand up and covered her face from the dust, to avoid it from getting into her eyes. The wind only blew for a short while and Amber uncovered her face. She couldn't see the woman again.

Shock was now written all over her. Someone tapped her on the shoulder and she stayed calm. She turned slowly to see who it was and she saw a woman on white gown, stained with blood to the shoulder, reaching the end of the sleeve, from the face. She roared at Amber and she was blown away. She fell flat on the ground metres away. The ghost teleported to Amber as she was trying to get up but couldn't. She saw an angry ghost in front of her and asked; "What do you want from me?" The ghost ignored her but, looked up, towards the sky and roared once more. Amber looked round and saw hundreds of ghosts coming out of the woods. The ghosts pointed out Amber to others and they all teleported and surrounded her. She kept on struggling to see how she could be able to get up from the ground.

Amber gave a glance at the ghost one more time and recognized her to be the late Mrs. Peter. "This is the exact face I saw in the picture. This must be her ghost. What does she want from me?", questions kept on running through her mind. The woman raised her hand up and the late Mr. Peter appeared by her right side. Amber got more perplexed. The couple folded their hands and started she began feeling pains at her neck. She felt she was going to vomit something very soon. The couple smiled at her wickedly. Amber mouth was wide open, she attempted closing it but couldn't. But wait! Rather than blood to gush out from her mouth, inside her mouth began glowing. The ghosts became confused when they saw this. The couple closed their hands more tightly but, the more tightly they closed their hands, the brighter the light in her mouth became. Amber blasted out the beam of light and it dominated the area. The ghosts fell to the ground and disappeared. The light then vanished.
* * *
Amber found out there was no force clinging her to the ground anymore and got up quickly. "Where did they go?", she looked round. "I must tell others about this", she added. She quickly ran to the front yard of the mansion.

"I must tell them what I saw", said Amber, who was approaching the door. She met the late Mr. Peter's daughter that had been tormenting her, standing by the door. She stopped running suddenly. The ghost was holding a doll and a knife. She stabbed the doll at the belly and blood gushed out of it. She then looked at Amber, who tried her swallowing her fear. The ghost used her hand to rip off the doll's head from the body. She dropped the doll's body and head on the ground and stretched out her bloody hands, backwards to the wall. She wrote on the wall with her hands; "Tell your friends and you'll die." She brought her hands back to normal self and disappeared. The writing also vanished, gradually though. Amber walked into the mansion reluctantly and closed the door.

Amber took a glance of the ghost one more time and recognized her to be the late Mr Peter's wife. "This is the exact face I saw in the picture. This must be her ghost. What does she want from me?", Amber spoke to herself.
The woman raised her hand up and her late husband (Mr Peter), appeared by her right hand side. Amber got more shocked. The couple closed their hands and Amber started feeling choked up at the neck. She felt she was going to vomit out something very soon. The couple gave her an evil smile. Amber's mouth was wide open, she attempted closing it but couldn't.
