had the stickers on it. When she opened it though she found that it wasn’t even working. She thought that she would check out the plug in. She pulled and shoved until she could get to the back of the refrigerator.
“Well, damn. It’s plugged in. There must be another short or, it could be the fuse box.” She said out loud.
Well, she wouldn’t be getting any ice, but she was determined to find a hot shower. She remembered the hallway on the other side of the living area. Surely there was a bathroom that way. Drew grabbed her shower things off of the couch where she had left them, and stuffing her mouth with granola headed towards the hallway.
There was very little light shining in from what looked like a patio door in a room at the end of the hall. It was quite dark down there. She found the light switch finally after feeling the wall with her elbow, but nothing was happening.
“Great! I guess I need to call the ele ctric company after all. No refrigerator, no lights, what next?” It dawned on her then that there was probably no water either. A couple of nights stay in a hotel room was starting to sound pretty good after all.
It was still early enough that she could call the utility companies and with any luck have them out there that day. She would have to call information.
After she got off of the phone with the electric company she had been ecstatic. They would be there this afternoon as long as she was able to pay the cash deposit to the electrician. The water company hadn’t been so nice, but when she told them the address they said that the water had never been shut off and they would be happy to switch the bill into her name.
She decided to check out what was in the hall way via candle light while she waited for the electrician. The first door that she came to on her left was a very large bedroom. Of course everything was covered up, and with only candle light to see she was pretty much in the blind as to wait lay in the room. However, she could tell that there was a small desk and chair that sat in front of what looked like window covered by a huge, thick curtain.
She made her way across the room to open the curtain, letting some light in. When she turned around it took her breath away. There in front of her was a gorgeous canopy bed with curtains that were tied together, a very old claw bathtub that had been updated with a shower nozzle, and a new sink took up residence in the corner of the bedroom. There was also a huge chest of drawers, an ancient trunk at the end of the bed, a very large stand-up mirror, and a vanity. This was going to be her room she decided. It was way more girly than what she was used to, but to her surprise she loved it.
She started to sit on the bed, and take it all in when the curtains over the window jerked shut. This was starting to get a little old she decided. “This will be my room.” She said aloud, and watched the stand-up mirror go crashing to the floor.
Drew didn’ t know that much about ghosts, but she didn’t think that they were supposed to have that much power. This one was evidently pissed and packing some energy. The thought of sleeping another night under its roof was beginning to make her a little uneasy. If it had enough power to move things, to slam things, could it have enough power to hurt her? Of course it could, but would it?
She went back to the hall way and found another door on the opposite side. She assumed that it was another bedroom, but when she opened the door she found that it had probably been a walk in closet at one time and was now a completely updated bathroom. Good, a toilet and a stand up shower, she had begun to wonder. Again, the stickers from the store were still on the shower doors.
There were two more doors, one on each side of the hallway, they were both bedrooms, and were just as lovely as the first one. When she came to the end of the hallway she stood in another sitting room, a little smaller than the front
