Getting to the Old Schoolhouse....

It took a bit longer than you had anticipated to get to the schoolhouse. For one, there were more trees in the middle of campus than you were aware of. In fact, it seemed to be a forest park. The trees were more knotted and coiling than you expected. Not only that you and Morgan's constant conversations slowed your pace. Oddly enough, you think she might be growing on you as you walked together. Her earlier rigid and coldness was settling to warmth and maybe friendliness. At least as friendly as Morgan might get.

"So why of all places did you think of looking for this old schoolhouse first?" You inquired as the topic of comparing school popular kid clicks and other jerks topic had ended.

Morgan gives you a smile as she looks over at you. She touches a nearby tree, softly as she feels down it's bark. "I'm interested in. Hauntings, Occult things, you might say. She gave a shrug as her crystal swung between her pert breasts as she swung around and leaned against the tree.

"Oh, interesting. I guess I should have pegged that as a possibility." You find yourself saying as you lean up against a tree. And look over at the thin line of the setting sun that cut through the trees. " Do you think we might witness a haunting tonight?"

"Do you believe in such things?" Morgan cut back softly. Her voice taking a colder tone.

"I'm not sure. If I'm honest. But I always like to keep an open mind."

Morgan gave you a serious look. Her green eyes almost glowed in the evening light. She bit her lower lip. "You are full of surprises, Alex."

With that Morgan started walking down the path again and you followed.

The trees started to clear around the bend in the path on the hill, and there as the sky turned a darker purple you both could see the old schoolhouse. The old wooden building's windows and doors had been boarded up. Cracks could be seen all around it and an old plaque had been placed a foot in front of it.

"This was the first schoolhouse here. They said the first teacher here was a witch. Some claimed they burned her at the stake just outside these woods." Morgan said in a whisper. Her voice low.

"OOOoooooohhhh!"

Morgan looked at you, and you looked at her. Your faces grew serious as you shared a silent look. Neither one of you made that noise.

"oooh!"

You both heard the voice again and looked towards the school house. It sounded like it was coming from over there, either inside, or on the other side of the building. You both look at each other again silently. Morgan put a finger to her lips and then prompted you to quietly follow her as she tip toed towards the school house. You look around, and shrug, you were in it this far, time to see what was all going on. Curiousity had you at this point anyways....
