Chapter 4

Robert figured out that I had the arrowhead

from him and is demanding I tell him where

I hid it. I of course refuse and he tried to

drop a piano on my head. Thankfully I had

heard it coming so I was able to jump out

of the way. I was only placing the arrowhead

in that keep safe store to teach him a lesson.

Which is he can't always get his way and

he shouldn't steal from people. I should have

realized by now he doesn't do well-learning

lessons. And yes I do realize that I could

just go get the arrowhead back but then he

won't learn his lesson. Oh god, he just

dropped a knife on this journal while I was

writing in it. That knife nearly sliced my

thumb off, I should probably stop writing

and go wrap my thumb. Wish me luck I

have a feeling I will need it if I want to

stay alive though you are just a book

so I guess you can't.

In the middle of the page were a couple of drops of blood and you could see the cut the knife made on the paper all the way through to the back cover. There wasn't enough blood to stop me from reading what was on the page but it was creepy as hell and I feel bad for that poor man. I'm not sure what I feel about Robert the doll but that doesn't matter because if I want Mimi back I need to find that arrowhead for him.

You're probably wondering what happened after breakfast with Doc, well once we finished eating I went to look for a hotel room so I could sleep for the rest of the day. I did find a place to sleep but ended up waking up while it was still light out so I read the rest of the book I brought with me and then decided to read another journal entry. It's now around eight at night so I should probably get to the lighthouse museum though I'm not sure what they need an arrowhead for. I pulled on the black jacket and gloves I recently bought making sure to pull the hood up to where no one could see my face.

I then set off towards the lighthouse museum all the while searching upon the incognito tab on my phone ' How to pick a lock '. I clicked on the first thing there and saw a step by step with images on how to pick a lock, I'm kind of scared that actually got any results. I'm pretty sure you can probably search up anything on the internet no matter how impossible and get a step by step tutorial.

It didn't take as long as I thought it would to walk to the lighthouse which I'm glad for because if it was any longer I would have tried to talk myself out of it. I just keep telling myself this is for Mimi and try to shove my morals and the voice telling me in my head this is bad and just do it. I was observing the lighthouse from across the street when my phone was usually on silent or vibrate started blaring the song Lost Boy by Ruth B.

The music rang out into the silence around me as if to say ' I'm here and I'm about to do something illegal ' I got out my phone to silence it but ended up pressing the call button by mistake.

" Bella thank god I've been trying to get ahold of you for hours " it was Cece and she sounded out of breath as if she was running or something.

I frowned " I've been sleeping, why do you sound like you've been running "?

" Wait you were sleeping it- never mind that I got a phone call from Mimi ".

I froze for a second and nearly dropped my phone.

" What do you mean you got a phone call from Mimi "?

" I mean that nearly right after I called you Mimi's phone number showed up and I of course answered because even if it was a prank phone call I would know ya know, it wasn't though because it was Mimi's voice though she was whispering it was hard to hear because how quiet her voice was but I think she said ' I'm trapped please come find me ' when I went to the police to have the call traced they said it came from Key West at 322 Duval St, Key West, FL 33040 ".

When she listed the address I got off the call screen and searched the address up in google map and once it loaded I said to Cece.

" That's the address for the Oldest House Museum, the Oldest House in South Florida is located at 322 Duval Street in Key West. The house and gardens are open to the public from 10 am to 4 pm every day except Sunday and Wednesday. Staff and documents are available to provide historical information about the house and family and to answer questions. The house features family portraits and original furnishings, as well as other period pieces, ship models, and documents telling the story of Old Key West. In the rear of the house is a spacious, peaceful garden, where benches invite you to sit and reflect. There, you will see the only surviving Cook House in South Florida. There is a 5 dollar admission fee. Children 12 and under are free ".

"All right, we'll go there after I arrive at one, don't forget to pick me up at the airport ".

Before I could protest she had already hung up on me which was quite irritating though I guess I deserve it after how many times I hung up on her cutting off what she was about to say. The thing is though if she comes here I'm going to have to tell her about Robert the doll and everything else that has happened. I won't be able to sneak away from her while she is here because she will stick to me like glue though I could suggest we split up.

Yeah, that would be better than telling her that a ghost and a doll is having me find an arrowhead before they give me the information about Mimi. There is no way she would believe me and I am not leaving here until I find Mimi and bring her back home. So I squared my shoulders and walked up to the lighthouse museum, when I got there I realized they didn't have a security system just a locked door.

I jammed my card into the crack between the door and the wall before sliding it down, it popped the door open which meant I was in. I didn't think it would work since I only saw people do it in movies but I guess this door was old enough to do it on. I took a deep breath as I thought here's to hoping they don't have a camera system and if they do I hope it's not a good one.

I pulled the hood up as far as I could so it could hide my face from any camera in this place probably why the ghost with the hook hand told me to come here at night. It was so dark that even if the cameras see me I would just be a shadow in the dark. I slowly walked in and saw a spiral staircase leading to the top of the lighthouse which is probably where I will find the arrowhead or not I don't know.

I slowly made my way up the stairs trying not to make a sound with my feet which isn't much of a problem seeing how whenever I walked to where Gigi was she didn't notice me until I was a couple of feet from her. I would end up scaring her though I was never sure how I scared her but it happened. When I finally reached the top I could see the light that would signal the boats but no artifacts.

" I probably should have told you they don't put the artifacts in the actual lighthouse but in the building beside it," a voice said from behind me.

I spun around to see the ghost with a hook for a hand and Robert the doll standing behind me, well Robert the doll wasn't standing he was sitting.

" So you actually did it I was wondering how far you would go during this little prank of mine ".

I stared at the stupid doll before my anger burst out " PRANK, PRANK YOU MEAN THIS IS JUST A PRANK AND YOU HAVE NOTHING THAT COULD LEAD ME TO MY GRANDMOTHER ".

He sighed " if you are done then I will tell you there's no need to yell ".

I glared at him but decided that yelling wouldn't salve anything so I gestured for him to continue.

He nodded " thank you, anyways I do have something that could help you find your Grandmother the lookout ghost as I think you call him had found it and since he owed me a favor or two he gave it to me ".

He pulled out a piece of folded paper and handed it to me but when I unfolded it the paper was completely blank, I was about to yell at him again when he said.

" Whatever is on the paper is unable to be seen by the human eye but you have the ability to see it if you read ".

I frowned at him and was about to ask what he meant by that when both of them disappeared right in front of my eyes leaving me even more confused. I didn't know what to about the note but what I did know is that I should get out of here so I quickly make my way down the stairs and out the door. I of course made sure to lock the door as I left so no one knew someone had broken in before I went in search of a restaurant.

I ended up going to the Lighthouse Court Cafe' and Mojito Bar, I didn't even bother to look around as I ordered a bottle of water and a cheeseburger and fries to go. I handed the girl the money that they asked for before walking back out and back to my hotel room. I wasn't in a rush though so I just watched the different people that were walking around, like in the cab it was hard to see them so carefree.

Me and Mimi never went to the lighthouse museum while we were here but I'm sure if she hadn't disappeared we would have come again and we would have gone there. We never went to the Oldest House museum either so that should be fun, going there with Cece I mean. Then again with the way me and Cece are, we will probably be fighting way before we even get to the museum.

I should probably try not to say anything to her so we don't start fighting because it is just easier maybe I could still suggest for us to split up and explore the Oldest House museum separately. I was so focused on my thoughts that I didn't notice the ghost with the hook hand was leaning on the wall right next to my door. I had just opened the door to my hotel room when he asked.

" Are ignoring me or have you just not noticed me "?

I yelped in fright and spun toward him " do you have to keep doing that "?

He chuckled " nevermind that answered my question "

I glared at him before yanking the door open and slamming it shut behind me hoping that he would get the message and leave. He didn't because a second later he walked right through the door into my hotel room before sitting down on one of the chairs. Well, he was in a sitting position but since he was a ghost it looked like he was hovering half an inch above the chair.

I sighed " what do you want "?

He sighed to " I wanted to say I'm sorry I owed Robert a favor and he made me do this ".

I frowned at him " it seems a lot of you ghosts owe Robert a favor ".

He shrugged " a lot of ghosts go to Robert for help and he usually has them participate in his pranks to pay him back ".

I nodded before remembering something " what about the journal is that real "?

He shrugged again " beats me they sell those at the museum Roberts in, I wouldn't be surprised if they all were though I might not have known Robert then but I know him now and I say it's a likely probability that those stories were real ".

I nodded " I'm not sure that makes me like him more ".

The ghost chuckled " you don't have to like him no one really does you just have to stay clear of him and if you owe him a favor do what he says, anyways the main reason I came here is to make up for what I had to do so I'll add to what Robert said earlier. What do you usually wear over your eyes when you read "?

I frowned at him " my reading glasses why "?

Even as that last word was out of my mouth I realized what he was trying to tell me and I instantly grabbed my purse and started searching through it. When I couldn't find my reading glasses I dumped the continents of my purse on my bed and searched through the continents. When I found it I pulled out the paper that Robert had given me earlier and put my reading glasses on and that's when I saw it.

Dear Cecelia and Isabella Klos or should I call you

Cece and Bella, you probably don't know me and I

don't expect you to. But I know both of you and your

Grandmother Mimi, I've known you for a long time

actually. You might have even seen me before but you

don't remember because I don't really have a

memorable face. Your Grandmother didn't even

remember me when I grabbed her ten years ago

so if you are able to find her in time I doubt she will

know who I am. She might not even remember what I

look like since I haven't seen her in a while but don't

worry she is fine for now. But if you don't find her

in two weeks after your sister gets the call from your

Grandmother. If you can't find her in that time the

clues I give you will stop and you will never find

your Grandmother. Her life is in both of your hands

Cece and Bella, I hope you are able to get along I

know you two like to fight quite a lot. Your probably

wondering how I know that well it is the same way

as I know both of your birthdays. Cece was born

on April 11th and Isabella was born on February

23rd. Anyway, I shouldn't keep you because you

have quite a few things you need to do so here is

the next clue. Where the ground goes to naught

you will see a sign marking it, taped to the sign is

the next clue.

I stared at the paper and I couldn't stop my hands from shaking, I was scared really scared whoever this person knows our first and last names plus our date of birth. Not only that but I had a sick feeling that told me whoever this was knows a lot more than what was in the letter a lot more than I like. I slowly folded the letter back up before getting my phone out and calling Cece it was time I told her what has happened.

" Hey, Bella is everything ok you usually don't call me I usually have to call you ".

I was silent for a second before everything came blurting out and I mean everything including breaking into the lighthouse.

" Wow I did not expect that and I guess since you have a first clue we don't need to go to the Oldest House museum since you already have the first clue ".

I frowned " I think we should still go just in case we should maybe go somewhere before and think about what we should be doing ".

"All right I'm on the plane at the moment and I'm about to go to sleep, don't forget to pick me up when I get there and we'll go to eat something ".

"All right see you then, " I told her before hanging up the phone.

Getting a little bit hungry I grabbed the stuff I had bought and started to eat forgetting that I still had the glasses on so when I looked up I was surprised to see a ghost standing right in front of me. He was wearing blue jeans, and a black jacket with a blue motorcycle on it, his hair was short and black, a crooked nose, thin lips, blue eyes, and looked to be an inch or two taller than me. He was glaring at me as if I was the one doing something wrong and I glared right back at him as I said.

" Get out of here I might have to get used to seeing ghosts out there but I paid for this room and I don't want any ghosts in it ".

He shrugged " can't I died in this room and I can't leave until I find something I lost in here so I guess you're stuck with me ".

I winced " note to self always search up if someone died in the hotel from now on ".

He chuckled " yeah I guess that's important since you can somehow see ghosts ".

" Oh no, it's the glasses the lookout ghost modified them for me ".

He nodded but didn't say anything so I said.

" If you get out of the room while I sleep I will help you find what you are looking for in the morning though if we don't find it by one your on your own because I have to pick up my sister ".

He nodded and disappeared so I laid down and went to sleep.
