Susan and Thomas approached Marley's house. Kyle was supposed to be there too but volunteered himself to sleep on the couch.
"Okay Thomas.... were going to break in and rescue Daru and find out why Marley attacked us." Susan explained. Thomas nodded in agreement and looked at the door. Susan stuck out her hand and the door swung open.
"Okay... I don't know what to expect in there so... What are you doing?" Susan said. Thomas was hiding in a bush.
"I.... am kind of scared." Thomas stuttered. Susan sighed and lifted Thomas up and walked into the house. Thomas hesitantly followed.
The house was poorly lit and extremely old fashioned. as they were walking up a hall Susan felt a chill run up her spin. she turned around to see a shadow on the wall disappear.
"Ma....Marley?" Susan asked suddenly afraid. Silence. Thomas noticed something and nudged over to Susan.
"Uuuuuum Susan?" Thomas stuttered as he pointed to a fireplace. a fire had suddenly been lit. Slowly Thomas approached the fire place cautious and curious. As they neared the fire it went out.
"Well...that happened... Thomas muttered." Suddenly he felt a hand reach out and tap him. Thomas swiftly turned around Swiftly. Only to be met with nothing. Susan frowned.
"She's messing with us isn't she..." Susan groaned. Demonic laughter filled the house. Susan looked back at Thomas frightened. But then stopped. She marched upstairs ignoring the horrific laughter and stormed into Marley's room. Standing in front of a old fashioned bed with Daru tied to it was Marley. She stared back at Susan coldly. The laughter of the house stopped.
"Marley... stop this nonsense!" Susan yelled. Marley didn't move but remained hovering in front of the bed. Thomas approached behind Susan suddenly less afraid. Then Marley finally spoke up.
"Why didn't you use it?' Marley asked suddenly sounding sad. She stopped hovering and landed on her feet.
"Please Marley....use what." Tears were rolling down her cheeks now.
"You've been holding the one answer I've been looking for.... The chance to win back my life.... Why didn't you use the MUSIC BOX?" Marley screamed the last part. Susan stood back.
"Marley..... I don't have a music box.... Only Morte has one...." Susan said taken back a bit.
"I HATE MORTE..... HE NEVER SPEAKS TO ME AND HAS THE POWER TO UNDO MY DEATH!" Marley yelled. Susan nodded. Thomas looked surprised.
"You agree? Thomas asked confused.
"Yes.... if Morte is hiding his power from a team mate, its unacceptable. We'll have a talk with him as soon as he gets back." Susan admitted. Marley was taken back by this.
"RE-REALLY?' Marley asked surprised. She stopped and ran over and hugged Susan.
"Whoa! .... um...didn't know ghosts could hug." Susan exclaimed. After a long embrace Marley snapped her fingers and Daru was set free. He woke up with a start.
"AHHHHHHHHHHH!" Daru screamed terrified. He stared back to see the other three people staring back at him.
"Uh... what did I miss?" Thomas grinned.
"LOTS AND LOTS OF ICE PUNS!" Thomas yelled. "Wanna hear some?"
Thomas asked. Marley floated up to Thomas and gave him a dark glare. "TH-THATS C-OLD....." Thomas muttered as he fainted.
