3. Chapter 3 (2/2)

"yes. why did you ask their arch enemy instead?" vlad repeated.

"because i didn't want to tell anyone else," i replied.

"else?" vlad questioned eagerly.

"my boyfriend and best friend know. but that's it," i informed.

"ooh! i love secrets. tell me more," he demanded.

"ah. sweet home. i realize it's dusty and old. but there is no better place than home," vlad pointed out as we walked through the doors.

"nobody has lived in it for years. they've said it's haunted," i told him.

"haunted? who on earth made that rumor?!" he cried.

i shrugged. the house was old. but it was also humongous. you could tell he used to be rich. it was awesome. i wanted to have it for my own. there was a mantel with a football on it, and several packers fan things. there was a faded jersey, and even a giant sign that said packers right across it. i also noticed a painting with the dairy king on it. i drooled at the thought of ice cream.

"do you want to see my lab? we can start your training in there," vlad suggested.

"of course!"

we walked downstairs and into a giant basement filled with different ghost things. it seemed that every ghost hunter had a lab in their basement. why not an attic? or a living room? what about a kitchen? actually, if any ghosts got into your kitchen they could possess the knives. and that wouldn't be pretty.

"you aren't kidding. this place is covered with spider webs!" he yelled in agrivation. "we'all just have to clean it up a bit, that's all."

"i can help with that."

"lets just start with training."

"so how was your date with arch enemy of your father? was he dreamy?" trish asked sarcastically.

"oh yeah. i wanted to kiss him the entire time," i rolled my eyes. "he was helpful. i can shoot ghost rays from my hand now."

"good! now shoot out daisy's eye!" trish exclaimed happily.

daisy baxter was the daughter of paulina and dash baxter. she was the worst bully of all time and the most popular kid in the school. if there was a class for bullies, i swear, she'd ace it.

dash baxter was dad's bully. and paulina was mom's competition. dash and dad have gotten... better. but mom still wants to strangle paulina. dad used to go google eyed towards paulina. then he noticed mom and... blah blah blah. i wasn't told the entire thing, mainly because mom starts

eaking her pottery when she talks about paulina. so i think i get the just of it.

"i'm sorry to say that i'd go to the police if i did that. so no-can-do."

"that's a bummer. did you learn anything else?"

i nodded. "i learned how to split my image. it is wonderful. now i can be anywhere anytime while being somewhere else. and i won't have to go through movie drama while doing it. he's not a bad guy," i informed.

"and then he turns in ya. you realize i know your mom's reaction when she sees, talks to, or even talks about paulina. have you not seen your dad's reaction towards vlad. now imagine when he finds out you are training with him," trish pointed out.

"i would die or clad would die. that's where this comes along. it's something called a secret," i told her.

"so you are really going to keep this all from your dad?" trish asked.

"yep!" i replied.

"you are lucky i'm your best friend. otherwise, you'd be in a lot of trouble."

"that's why i like you so much."

trish gasped. "there isn't any other reason?"

i smiled slyly. "nope."

"like the time i saved your life because i gave you some answered for a test because you didn't study?" trish recalled.

"oh... i thought that was someone else," i thought, stroking my chin. i looked back at trish's expression. it wasn't dad who would kill me. trish would kill me first!

she's begun training with the enemy.
