I'm all in favor of it! So, Katydid, your call! If you say no, then void this too!
Ella~
"What didja do?" I ask, looking at Nila in shock. "You pulled me! Pulled me!" And I grab her leg real tight, because legs can protect you from all evil. Everyone knows that.
"Ella, we have to run," I hear Prop say, "or else Ghost Us will kill us."
Nodding, I reluctantly let go of Nila's leg. Ghost Prop growls and runs towards him, swooping his axe down and up. Prop's eyes widen and I clutch his leg and...
Clang!!!!! I feel the vibration all through my body. Whirling around, I see a gigantic circle of blue light surrounding Prospero and me. Ghost Prop is swinging his axe on it, but can't break this force field.
"Awesome, Prop!" I say, hugging his leg. He rolls his eyes. "Well, I have a feeling it isn't going to last forever, Ella. So RUUUUUNN!!!"
As he says run, the force field buzzes out. I let go of his leg and start to run, speeding down the corridor.
Wait, where is everyone?
I turn around. I can hear faint footsteps behind me, but they're from a long way off. I run in tht direction.
~~~~~~~3 seconds later~~~~~~~~
Oh! There's Prop, and Angela and PJ, and the twins. But they're all moving so slowly! They used to all (except PJ) run faster than me.
What just happened?
(June 22, 2015 - 7:28 pm)
Nila~
As I run, I notice Ella has sped ahead.
What? So now she has superspeed? And Prop has forcefields?
I decide to experiment. I reach toward a rusty nail on the ground and will it towards me. It zips into my hand.
SWEET!
Then I think of something.
"Ayra!"
Ayra~
I turn to Nila, who is running, but now has something in her hand. She throws it into the air. "Will it towards you! We're identical twins!" she calls. I try but can't. In frustration I growl and almost unconsiously cross my arms over my chest, palms of my hands up. And inexplicably, a fire lights in my open hands.
"We are now officially..." Nila joins me on the last words. "The Kinesis Twins."
The ghosts are gaining. Nila reaches for the rotting boards and brings them down behind the ghosts and between them and us, causing an avalanche of old boards. I will them to ignite, but leave the rest of the house unharmed.
It works.
We do our secret twin handshake, grinning symmetrically.

Angela~
"Wait...what is happening?" I ask while we run away from the door which blocks the ghosts.
"We have powers suddenly?" Ella says, rather quickly.
"Oh my..." I draw a deep breath and sigh. I just want to run away from everybody. I want everything to stop and I want to have time to think. I stop and bury my head in my hands. This is all too much for me. Can't the world just stop!! I stand there for a moment, quaking, then look up. Everyone is still in a running position, but they aren't moving. "Guys! This isn't funny!!" I look around at them, then pinch one of the twins. There is no reaction. "What did I do???" I whirl around. "Stop!!!" Suddenly everybody moves again. Prop happened to be right behind me and we tumble in a mess to the ground.
"Augh!!" Prop shouts. "But you were behind me!!"
"Did someone pinch me?" a twin asks.
Prop stands up and I stare at the ceiling.
"Are you okay Angela?"
"I can stop time," I blurt out.
Pj~
I stand on the ceiling, staring down at everyone. This is so cool! I can walk on walls!! I squeal and run around on the ceiling.
(June 23, 2015 - 4:08 pm)
Prop~
"Oh my gosh!!! Somebody grab PJ!" I shout.
"On it," Nila and Ella say at the same time. Ella reaches for him just as Nila wills him to the ground again. PJ sobs.
"Now, if we're done being shocked and surprised," I add, glaring at them, "there's still ghostly counterparts of us floating around here! We have to run!"
"Ohhh, yeah!" someone says, and we all start running again. Um, I mean, except Ella, who's speedwalking.
But then, suddenly, an axe flies above our heads and hits the ground in front of us, and it opens up.
And we fall through the crater the axe has made.
(June 23, 2015 - 5:34 pm)
Top guys!!! Come on, keep writing! This is going so well!
(June 26, 2015 - 5:23 pm)

Angela~
The axe comes whizzing by, just barely missing my head. It hits the floor and we all fall into a large crevice it made. "Stop!!!" I squeal. I land, hard, on another lower floor. My siblings float above me their mouths open wide as if screaming. I stand up and brush the dust off of my pants, then I reach up and grab PJ. He suddenly starts falling and I catch him with a bit of effort. I set him down and as soon as I let to he freezes again. I continue working and grabbing my other siblings until they are all safely standing up. Then I start time again.
They stare at me.
And stare.
And stare.
"Start!!" I shout. They finally start moving.
PJ~
I giggle and run up a wall before Angela grabs me and pulls me back. Everyone is talking at once and I shush them with my loud crying. "PJ! Be quiet!! If you don't shut up I'll tell dad!!" I stop crying at once, but the tears still flow:
(June 27, 2015 - 12:58 pm)
Top! Somebody, it's your turn to post!
(July 1, 2015 - 3:05 pm)
Nila~
We lost the ghosts for now. The problem is, now WE'RE lost.
Under the floorboards.
In our Victorian-style house.
And it's pitch black.
Then a small flame illuminates the passage. Ayra.
"So," she says. "We've fallen through the floor, met ghost versions of ourselves, gained powers, and got lost in our-- hey!"
Ayra and I run forward to the familiar shaft. "It's the dumbwaiter!" We both say. Angela glares. We glare back, saying, "We can't help it! It's not like we planned it!"
We realize that we are not all going to fit inside.
"I think a few trips are in order," I say.
Ayra~
First trip: PJ and Angela. They barely fit, but they do in the end and use the rope to pull the box up.
"Remember," I call up. "OUT of the room when you get there."
"'Kay Nila!" PJ calls back from the dumbwaiter, giggling.
Nila and I roll our eyes symmetrically.
Next trip: Prop and Ella. They fit a little easier, and Ella apparently can now use her super speed on her hands too. She gets them up very, very quickly.
Last trip: Us. Nila grins as the dumbwaiter comes down again. We get in. It's made of a warm, solid wood, and it's dusty and warm inside. Nila secures the rope and wills it downward, the dumbwaiter pulling up. And up... and up... I notice a closed hatch which I can push open, which I do. It's our parents' bedroom. Nice. The color scheme here is red and gold, and there's a bookcase full of books. I look at the books-- and one seems a little odd. Thick and with gold bands on its binding, it has two symbols on it.
"Alpha and Omega," Nila whispers. "The first and last members of the Greek alphabet."
"It almost feels like... it's calling to me," I whisper back. Nila nods. "Me, too." She reaches out, and the book trembles and silently soars off the shelf, toward us, as she pulls her hand back. She lowers the hatch, and we continue upwards.
(July 6, 2015 - 11:17 pm)
Ella~
"We did it!" I cheer as we step out of the... what did the twins call it? Dumb Guy? Whatever. The biggest news is that we're safe from the creepy ghosts.
The two, speak of the devil, clamber out a bit after us, a large book under their arms.
"What's that?" asks Prop.
"Oh-" they obviously didn't want us to see it. Sighing, Ayra- no, wait, that's Nila, shows us it.
"What kinda interesting thing is that?!" I ask, rolling my eyes. "It's just a book in a language we don't know!"
"Not just any language," one of the twins says, unable to contain herself. "It's Alpha and Omega-"
"The first and last members of the Greek alphabet!" the other finishes.
"Oh," Prop says. None of us looks remotely impressed. It's just an old book. Only Angela speaks up.
"You should put that book back," she says. "It could be really dangerous."
(July 7, 2015 - 1:29 pm)
Nila~
Okay, obviously they can't even tell us apart-- as usual.
"First, it's not that hard to tell us apart!" I cry indignantly.
"We're symmetrical," Ayra confirms. "I'm the right twin, Nila's the left twin. Right-handed, left handed."
No reaction.
"Second, how can this book be dangerous yet?" Ayra says. She glances at me, and I nod, as if to say, Keep talking.
"It is just a book," Ayra continues. I silently open my bag and pull out and open my laptop with telekinesis.
"Well, there ARE ghosts in this house, I wouldn't put it past this book to be cursed or something like that," Angela explains.
That's a risk we have to take, I think as the laptop finishes scanning the first page. Angela notices what I'm doing just as I paste the copy of the page into a translator.
"NO!" she cries.
"Too late!" Ayra and I shout as I quickly push them forward and slam the door, then pull the dresser over. Ayra hits "TRANSLATE" and this is what comes up:
This is a book dedicated to the paranormal. You have been warned: Now that you have opened this book, there is no turning back. You will now carry the weight of the paranormal on your shoulders for the rest of your days. All those things that you told yourself do not exist, that you dismissed as nothing, you will now see them for what they are: very real magic and curses. And possibly very dangerous.
That is as far as we get before I hear Angela cry "STOP!"

Sorry guys!!
Angela~
"STOP!" I cry!! The world freezes again. I just can't take the chance with that book, I don't trust it. I try to open the door but the piece of furniture in front of it is heavy. "I could..no..," I gasp as an idea pops out of nowhere. "The dumdwaiter!!" I shout and rush into my room. I follow the same path as before, jumping into the hole and everything. I finally arrive at the dumbwaiter, I think. The dark encases me and the only thing keeping me going is the fact that everything is frozen. I feel around until I find the dumbwaiter and pull it down. I then hop in and pull myself up, and up, and up, until I finally reach their room. I see the twins standing there, obviously aghast at something. I squeeze out of the dumbwaiter and look at their computer, understanding completely. "No!" I cry. My eyes dart across the computer screen and I sigh. "Go." The twins' frozen figures suddenly explode to life. Their eyes widen at me, suddenly standing before them.
"What!!" they ask in unison.
"Dumb...waiter....." I feel half an hour of my life draining. Everything happened in no time at all...everything is fuzzy...The ground rushes at me everything goes dark.
(July 13, 2015 - 4:20 pm)
Nila~
"Oh god! Ayra, can you find anything in there relating to this?" I cry, catching a fainting Angela and placing her on my bed.
Ayra is scanning and translating pages frantically, reading them as fast as she can.
"Demons: Arson, bestial, cinnamon... cinnamon demons??" we burst into giggles before remembering what we're here for. "PROP!" I shout, moving aside the door blockage.
"ON THREE!" Prop yells to Ella and PJ on the other side. "ONE, TWO, THREE!"
They all three slam into the door, evidently thinking the furniture is still there.
And as it's not, they all tumble into the room.
"OH MY GOD! Angela!" Prop screams as soon as he sees her fainted out on my bed. "What happened??"
"That's what we're trying to find out!" Ayra shouts.
