vacation bible school activity: where did you find god in your life today? // february 18 2024

Ghost What Ghost?

Summary: It sucks when you’re a psychic-medium. All the stuff you need to do not only to avoid certain spirits but help those that need it. It doesn’t help that your best friend and secret crush doesn’t know, made worse by your brother who knows and has told your immediate group of (skeptic) friends and his best friend...what could possibly go wrong he said. Famous last words...thank you ever so much Joe.

(70s Queen in the present with a mix of the borhap cast.) 

Disclaimer: Not a medium of any sort so don’t at me if I get somethings wrong!

Mariana Mazzello

Location, Pennhurst State School. Also known as Pennhurst Asylum. Time, ten at night. Current thoughts...?

Fuck you Joseph Mazzello and fuck my so called friends for thinking me a) a liar and b) thinking coming here is a good idea. Not to mention he just had to bring his best friend Paul with him. Freddie might be more open due to his upbringing and Jim is super chill with me and what I can do. He seems like my only ally most of the time when I am the topic of a conversation more than Joe is, and he’s my brother!

“Come on Mariana!” Joe called as he opened the gates for us.

I sighed not wanting to go in, the place doesn’t feel right to me right off the bat. It has its calm areas almost comforting, but I can feel something else lurking and I don’t like it.

“Come one love,” Jim said offering me his arm to take.

I take it gratefully and we go to meet the group where Brian winds his arm around my free one. 

Now here is the enigma of man that is one Brian Harold May.

He is my best friend, he’s known about me and my abilities for a while. I’m pretty sure he says believes to make me feel better. But he’s a scientist, that sort don’t tend to believe in things that aren’t rational or can be proven through tried and true evidence. Makes me wonder if he’s here to see if I’m a fake or not. Will he turn his back to me if whatever Paul’s cooking up bites me in the ass? I think so...heartbreak here I come.

“What is it?” Jim asks me quietly as I come to a sudden stop.

I look in the direction I got the feeling from and shivered.

“Ana?” Brian said softly.

“I shouldn’t have come here,” I say quietly.

Jim and Brian share a look not liking the sound of that.

“There’s...something here, its bad...I don’t think it’s human,” I say quietly as I resisted the urge to burrow into Brian’s side.

“Demonic?” Jim said quietly.

I shrug neither confirming or denying. It wouldn’t do us any good if we knew.

“What...Is Fraidy Mary scared of the dark?” Paul taunted pointing his lit flash light at me.

I rolled my eyes and move away from my safety net to stand in the general direction I got the weird feeling from holding back the scoff and comeback that is on the tip of my tongue.

“Not even gonna,” I said as I looked around pretending I was just another tourist.

I could hear the spirits here whispering to me and amongst themselves. They know I’m here, they know I can see and hear them. Welp, things just got worse.

Jim and Freddie, bless them, followed Bri as he caught up to me. 

“You ok Ana?” Brian asked tenderly.

“Don’t let him get to you Smalls,” Roger said to my surprise, “Don’t look so shocked love. Your brother and his boyfriend might think this a joke but we’ve been friends long enough for all of us to know you don’t just say things to be mean or weird, sometimes things just are.”

John who stood beside him nodded and quietly said, “Plus, as much as I don’t believe I wouldn’t mind seeing a ghost.”

You felt a pair of icy hands on your back causing you to gasp and turn.

The man smirked at me then disappeared. 

“What’s wrong?” Brian asked alarmed.

“What did you feel?” Jim asked.

“Hands...on my back,” I said still shocked that it happened at all.

“Joe and Paul have the cameras and recorders,” John said shaken by what he’d seen.

“Let’s go get em’ Deaky,” Roger said with a cough leaving me alone with Brian, Jim and Freddie.

“Don’t you lot worry about Paul and his name calling,” I said with a laugh trying to shake off the feeling of the man’s hands on me, “if its such a fucking dig why the hell is your aura so black you cant see sun light through it?”

“Auras?” Freddie asked intrigued.

I nod.

“What color is mine?” Freddie asked excitedly.

I hummed before grinning gently and saying, “You are between yellow and orange.”

The boys look at you in confusion.

“Yellow is for positivity, joy and harmony. Orange is for good health, creativity and adventurous,” I said knowingly letting out a laugh as he shimmied excitedly at his meanings.

“What of my dear Jim?” He asked now fueled.

Jim gave an interested look prompting me to spill, “Blue and green hands down.”

“Which mean...?”

“Blue means calm, intuitive, healing and teacher. While green means growth and optimism,” I said seeing the happy grin on Jim before turning to Brian and saying, “Almost like you.”

“Oh?” He said with a blush.

“Yours is blue with a hint of purple,” I said lovingly, “Purple means dreamer and visionary.”

‘My spaceman,’ I finished to myself.

He blushed at that and gave me a small smile.

The moment was broken by Paul who said, “Come on ladies them ghosts aren’t gonna find themselves. You alright Freddie? I’ve an extra jacket if you get cold.”

Freddie snuggled into his partner with a roll of his eyes.

“Leave him alone Pretner, how many times does he have to say no to you,” Roger said as he set up the recorder.

“Plus it’s not like Joe doesn’t already take all you say like gospel,” I muttered.

“No I don’t,” Joe said looking more than a little insulted.

“Like shit you don’t Mazzello,” Roger said angrily, “You trust this shit’s word over your own sister’s which is how we got here in the first place! We all heard him as he plotted how to prove Annie wrong and how she’s only faking because, what had you called her Paul? Oh yeah, an attention seeking whore!”

“Well I’d never!” Paul said with fake disbelief, “All I’ve ever wanted to do is get on with my best mate’s sister!”

“Ok that’s enough!” Joe said, “He’s right he’s only been trying to get on your good side. Now for all of our sakes, let’s get this over with the sooner we can prove Mariana’s abilities to be true or not the quicker we can go home.”

I couldn’t help the tears that welled up. He really did trust and believe in Paul more than me. 

I looked to see Paul smirking at this.

I looked to Joe and coldly said, “If you believe him so much you can keep him. I’m moving out anyway.”

This shocked nearly everyone present. Joe looked like he’d been struck, Paul looked to be in shock while the rest of the boys, minus Jim and Fred, looked surprised. My piece said,  I turned away and made my way to the Limerick Building.

“Now that there’s negative energy in the air you are more likely to catch your ghosts now Paul,” I said coldly.

Brian followed after me flashlight in hand, and pulled me to a secluded corner.

“I’m sorry about Joe,” he said pulling me into a hug.

I couldn’t help the chuckle that slipped causing Brian to pull away confused.

“Give me a second please,” I said and took a box from nearby and pulling it to where he is and standing on it, “Back aches suck so.”

He laughed at that and hugged me once again.

“Hey, um...” he said pulling away, “Well, what it is is...”

“Yes?” I said with a grin.

Brian blushed deeply and asked, “Does your thingy also tell you people’s feelings?”

“I’m a medium...I see dead people,” I said matter of factly, “Not an empath, why?”

“He’s been after your ass since he took that art class!” Roger said loudly as he and Freddie were taking pictures of the building.

“But that was a year ago!” I said with a shocked gasp.

“Well you’re my best friend, I was afraid I’d fuck what we already have up,” he said with a shrug.

“You know for such a smart and amazing man you really can be quite thick,” I said and pulled him in for a kiss.

“Now lets go before Paul thinks insulting the dead to get an answer is the way to go,” I said after pulling away.

Wolf calls were heard from all but Joe and Paul as we went into the Limerick building.

Jim, Brian and I were the last to go in. If only because at the moment I set foot inside I felt like something or someone was watching me. 

“Someone’s here,” I said, “They...they were a patient here.”

The boys at my sides let out a breath of relief.

“Don’t call them out and they won’t do anything you don’t like. They don’t look at all like the friendly sort,” I said cautiously.

“Well we know what Paul won’t do,” Brian said to which Jim nodded.

“He’s going to get us in trouble,” I said and gasp when I feel a tug at my hand. I look down to see a child holding my hand and pointing to the end of the hall before going in the direction she was pointing in causing a door to slam.

“What...what is that?” Brian said a quiver in his tone.

“Roger! Was that you!?” Jim called out.

“We’d split up remember?” I said as calmly as I could.

“So...that couldn’t have been any of the guys?” Brian asked.

“Nope,” I said and went to follow the girl.

“What are you doing!?” Brian asked, “There could be someone else here!”

“The place is closed for the night Brian, it’s a museum, Joe got the night on a good deal or so he says so no, there is no one else in the area.”

Not to mention there is no wind tonight so there is no way it could have been the wind. 

“Animals though,” Brian said.

“Don’t ya think if it were an animal we’d have heard it come out or go in the other direction,” Jim said with before clearing his throat.

The the boys followed me as the little girl showed me the way. This might not be a good idea considering I don’t know if this is a legitimate little girl or something else pretending to be the little girl.

“Where are you taking me?” I asked curiously.

She pointed to what I think is the back door. Jim gave the door a firm pull to reveal the building that had given me that odd feeling when we first walked in.

Quaker Hall.

“I don’t like this,” I said out loud to no one in particular.

“That hall is known to be the most active of this place,” I said seriously as I stare at intimidating building, “And it doesn’t help that we took our sweet time looking around till we made it to this building, walk through the building and exploring this building that we’ve made it to what is called the devil’s hour.”

“Please don’t tell me that’s the time Satan comes out to play,” Jim said worriedly.

“Naw...but it is the time where paranormal activity is at its most active so lord knows what is going to happen or if it happens at all,” I said as we go into the building.

“Why is that?” Brian asks curiously.

“Paranormal activity doesn’t always happen when one wants it to happen,” I said as I pulled the door open allowing the men in before me, “And if what I looked up about this place is true, then we really are in for it.”

Jim and Brian shared a look before following after me.

It wasn’t hard to find the rest of our party, if Paul’s taunting and boisterous attitude is anything to go by.

Bri, Jim and I remained far enough away not to be seen by them. Good for the boys but not me.

I saw Fred see us and make a dash for us as quietly as he could.

“Should have stayed with you my love,” he said as he attached himself to Jim’s arm.

“You saw something Fred?” Jim asked in a whisper.

Freddie looked as if he’d seen his life flash before his eyes.

“Something touched me...on my arm,” he began trying to keep calm, “I told John and Rog who’d apparently had happen the same thing as we walked from one building to another. Joe says he didn’t feel anything and Paul’s been pushing and whatever is here to prove they are here.”

“This is not good,” I said, “Negative energy is what negative spirits feed off of to increase their power.”

“Paul’s been going at it for a while now,” Fred said now a bit more calm.

“The room is charged now,” I said worriedly.

The worry grew as a shadow surrounded Paul.

“We need to go...now,” I said loudly.

“We ain’t leavin darlin,” Paul said haughtily, “not till you tell me what supposedly is gonna happen.”

“What’s going to happen is that you are going to get the answer you’re looking for but not in the way you want it,” I said trying to remain calm.

Joe gave me a questioning look.

“Are you really that dense big brother?” I said incredulously, “Didn’t you look up what happens in this hall at all!?”

Joe looked at me blank faced.

“Witnesses have said that people get physically attacked here. And I’m not saying tugs on clothes or harmless touches here and there I mean people get attacked by these beings!” I said and before I know it Brian is on the floor screaming in pain.

“It hurts!” He yelled as he worked his jacket and shirt open to reveal three long gashes down his chest.

Joe paled at seeing this and said, “Paul maybe it is time to go.”

“No way man,” Paul said testily a sick grin on his face, “We came here to prove your sister’s a fuckin fake! And I’m going to prove it.”

The harmless spirits that were here cowered as the black mass grew, it was attaching itself to him. Looks like Paul’s gonna have company for a while.

Joe looked at me pleadingly as he said, “Just do as he says so we can go.”

“How dare you!?” Jim yelled, “You’d chose a nobody you met a bit ago over your sister!?”

“I should leave you here to face what you’ve unleashed,” I say voice cold, “But unlike you, I take care of my own.”

I helped Brian up who quietly said, “Wait...if this happened to me then maybe it’ll happen to him.”

“I know he won’t stop,” I said tears in my eyes as I tried to dab away the blood.

I turned around to find some of the spirits there holding solid objects.

“If you really want to know then I am obligated to say that those here are about to do the equivalent of stoning you,” I said simply.

“Ha yea right,” he said with a laugh only yell in pain as he was hit in the face with what looked like a pice of rock.

The group was pretty much standing away from Paul and certainly more concerned with leaving than proving him right or wrong.

I heard whispers that the worse is yet to come and they were right.

“Paul if you really want proof that I see and speak to the dead the dead have a message for you,” I said pulling John to the exit, “They say the worse is yet to come. The thing that’s here is not at all a happy one and it seems to have taken a liking to you. So either you drop it and leave well enough alone or risk taking some of that nasty thing home with you.”

Paul looked as if he was more than a little inclined to believe you but still questioned, “Oh yeah? Then what is it this horrible thing will do to me then?”

“Did you not see what happened to Brian Pretner!?” Roger yelled.

“That could have been a fluke,” he retorted before going back to taunting the entity that lives here, “I command you do to me what you did to Brian if you really exist!”

“Oh shit,” I breathed as Paul began to scream as gashes appeared on his skin.

“We have to leave now,” I said not leaving room for argument.

The men all followed, Paul included, and we made a run for the van Joe had rented for all of us to come here.

“I hope you’re happy Joe,” I said after we were ways away from asylum.

“How the hell was I suppose to know that was going to happen!?” He questioned.

“By trusting in my word when I warned you that coming here and playing ghostbuster is not only stupid but dangerous. Should have known you’d believe Paul over me,” I said voice cold, “I’ll have the boys help move me out before the week is out.”

Joe remained quiet for the rest of the drive back to town. 

We went to a twenty-four hour diner if only to eat and prep for another work day, where Joe then said, “And where are you going to live then?”

“Mom and dad have agreed to pay the rent on a small apartment for a month till I get paid in full at their gallery,” I said taking a drink from my mug being deliberately silent on where, “And no I’ll not tell you where. That is for those whom can be trusted and I can trust.”

Joe seemed to shrink into himself at that before standing and making his way to the car a now suddenly quiet Paul running after him. 

“When are you going to tell him the apartment you’ll be staying in just so happens to be across from the one Fred, Bri and I share?” Jim asked as all of us watched the duo drive away.

I shrugged and asked, “How long do you think it’ll take Paul to ask for help to get rid of the friend he’s taking home with him?”

The boys paled at what I sad and shivered.

“I don’t think it’ll be too long,” Freddie said quietly.

“I don’t think so either if I’m being honest,” I said agreeing with Freddie.

“How come?” John asked.

“Because he got what he wanted from there,” Brian said with a wince as he shifted, “Did you see the look on his face when Ana told him what it was that would happen if he pressed? As well as the look on his face when her warnings came true?”

The conversation got quiet after that. None of us wanted to think of what would happen to Paul for being a bull headed asshole, least of all me. But when it comes to me, I have to. I’m the only one that has legitimate resources that can help him. Should he wish it that is...
