The Ghost Hunters and The Familiar Strangers

"Dad... Just find a safe place to hide OK?" Amelia told her father touching his face. They were talking when Dalton came to meet Amelia grabbing her by her hair. Andrae used that moment to hide. He could hear grunting and shouting, but he couldn't see anything.

Dalton carried Amelia up and toss her against the wall making her grunt in pain as she fell to the ground.

"Go and save her I will handle this," Carlos told Xen. Xen looked at Carlos to see if he will be OK. Carlos nodded.

Dalton was this close to attacking Amelia when Xen ran to shield Amelia from the attack. Dalton figured he couldn't move anymore and when he looked down he saw a sword in his stomach it was then he knew this was the end. Slowly and slowly each part of his body started vanishing until there was nothing there.

Rose knew she was dead and there was no going back from it, she fell to her knees and they gave Carlos the privilege to kill her.

"You were a thorn in the flesh," Carlos told her as he grabbed the sword and pierced it to her chest. The ghost vanished and the body was left. Xen rushed to Riele's body. He had no idea she was dead and he knew not what killed her. "I guess she deserves a befitting burial," Amelia said as she placed her arms on his shoulder.

Xen looked at her with teary eyes. "She does." He replied.

"How is Tamara doing?" Amelia asked.

Carlos ran to check things up with Jones. "She should be awake just about... now." He told them and immediately, Tamara woke up.

Everybody breathes a sigh of relief.

"Can we go home now?" Clarissa asked.

It was such a long day and everybody deserves a long rest after everything.

"Sure," Amelia said as her eyes turned blue and everyone disappeared.

They all appeared at Amelia's house.

"I need you all to tell me everything." Amelia's father said as Norman and Jason were excited about the storytelling.

The rest of them left. Amelia and Xen went out first, followed by Clarissa and Devon, followed by Carlos and Tamara.

The special chapter will be the end of Ghosthunters.

~~~~Special Chapter~~~

Xen and Amelia were walking on the street together as they both tried to enjoy the peace in the area. "I can finally breathe now," Xen said as he stretched his arms accepting the new environment. "I can't remember when last I felt this free," Amelia said.This content © Nôv/elDr(a)m/a.Org.

"Who would ever have thought that we would make the world a better place again?"

Amelia smiled. "We did it!" She said to him.

"How do you feel?" Xen asked as they stopped to talk.

Amelia gave him a questioning look. "Like, you lost your mom, but you got your dad and since you and your dad ain't that close, how do you feel?"

Amelia hasn't given it that much thought. "I think fate has brought us together and I'd be stupid not to accept it." She said.

For a moment everyone became silent and the only that could be heard was their breathing. Xen walked closer to Amelia holding her two hands and looking her straight in the eyes.

"Amy..." He called. Amelia was shocked because this was the first time Xen was calling her by that name. "I want you to listen to everything I have to say to you." He told her. Amelia nodded as their eyes were fixed n each other. She couldn't ignore the fact that her heart was beating at a rhythm she couldn't control. Xen could sense it by the stiffness in her. He played around with her fingers Amelia had to take a deep breath to calm her beating heart hoping it would help but it didn't.

"Amelia, I..." He began. "... I want to tell you that you are an amazing person and I am glad to have met someone like you." Amelia was quiet as she listened to his every word. "I can't ignore the way I feel inside when I am around you sometimes I choose to ignore it but my heart couldn't bear it and that's why I am here to let you know how I deeply feel about you."

Amelia tried to speak but Xen shushed her. "I love you, Amelia, with all my heart and if possible, I would love to spend the rest of my life with you." Amelia froze for a minute as her eyes turned blue while staring into Xen's eyes. She tried to speak but nothing was coming out of her mouth. "You have the most beautiful eyes I have ever seen... guess what else is beautiful." He said.

Amelia couldn't say anything. Xen smiled as he covered the little space between them. "This." He said as he placed his lips on hers. Amelia's eyes opened wide. She was surprised because she has always been the one initiating the kiss but now it was him?

Xen pulled away a little when he found out she wasn't responding to the kiss. "You don't like it?" He asked her.

Amelia smiled and somehow she found her voice and she answered. "Are you screwing with me?" she asked. "That was the best kiss ever but I love taking the lead." She pulled him closer and planted her lips on his. Xen wrapped his hands around her waist and gave her access to go deeper in the kiss.

They could hear their friends wowing but that didn't stop them from kissing instead it made them kiss deeper there.

After a few seconds, they let go of each other as they joined to meet their friends.

"Seriously?" Devon asked pretending to be jealous.

"Come here," Clarissa told him as he pulled him closer and kissed him which he returned gracefully after recovering from the shock. Everyone laughed.

Carlos turned to face Tamara. He was bringing his lips closer when Tamara playfully kicked his knee. "Ow!" He grunted as he held his knee. "You could have just told me no." He said as he hopped on a spot. Tamara smiled. She moved closer to him and as she was about to peck him on his cheek to surprise him, Carlos turned and her lips touched his lips instead. She was about to shy away but Carlos was quick to grab her and he kissed her back.

Jason and Norman looked at each other wondering why they had no girlfriends. "Should we just date each other instead?" Jason asked Norman.

"I am straight bro!" Norman told Jason as everyone laughed.

Amelia was so happy and everyone looks so happy too. It hadn't been easy. They have lost a lot but it's a good thing they still have each other. As she was still watching her friends she saw her dad who was standing afar staring at her. Their eyes met and Xen noticed it. "Go." He told her as he let go of her hand.

Amelia ran to meet her dad before her father could say anything, she fell into his arms. Andrae accepted his daughter and they both realized that even with the silence, they understood everything, and no one needed to say anything. "I love you, dad." She told him. Her voice was sounding a little sad like she was crying.

"I love you to angel." He told her as he squeezed her into his arms.

A few minutes later everybody's phone started beeping. They all grabbed their phones to view the message. After they had read the message they all burst into laughter.

"What's that?" Andrae asked since he was the only one who didn't get any notification.

"It's a message from MSA telling us to come and explain ourselves in school on Monday," Jason answered.

"I can't believe we missed school without knowing," Norman said.

Everyone chuckled. "What kind of explanation are we going to give them?" Tamara asked.

"It's simple..." Amelia said as they all looked at her to hear her suggestion. ".. we are Ghosthunters and we have been hunting ghosts."

Everyone stared at each other before nodding. "I like it," Carlos said.

"We are the Ghosthunters." Everyone chorused and at that moment, a shooting star passed and everyone glanced up at it.
