Help Me Remember

We made it to the front gate and me, Nick and Aaron turned our cameras on.

"It is yet again to be locked in another prison...This time in Sugarland, Texas" Zak said looking into the camera and then at Aaron, "Aaron what was our crime?"

Aaron looked up and into my camera

"For not hunting enough ghosts, so we have to go in and hunt more ghostsssss"

I hung my head while letting out a breath while Zak and Nick stared at him blankly

Aaron that was horrible I thought

"We're getting locked in for bad jokes" Zak said

We entered through the gate and one of the security officers locked us in. Zak started telling the camera all the information that we got while walking backwards towards the building.

"And we were not allowed to look at the death records like we saw at Eastern State. So we don't know who's died here, so it's our job to find that out"

We then made it inside and went to the base. Zak started telling the camera that Billy was going to be here at base and radio us inn if he sees anything on the screen and Zak started talking about the Mel meter. While Zak was going over the piece of equipment I jumped slightly

"What's up Candy?" Billy asked

"Nothing, my phone just vibrated" I said with an embarassed chuckle

I have no idea why but everytime my phone vibrates I jump alittle.

"Who would be calling you on an investigation?" Zak asked

I looked at him with a 'Are you really asking that question?' look. Zak rolled his eyes when he figured out who it was texting me

"Alright, well while Candy's playing with her phone, me, Nick and Aaron will head up to the inmate dormatories" Zak said grabbing a respirator mask due to his respitory problems

"Do you see my phone out? I'm not just going to whip it out" I snapped, "And Zak jealousy is a very bad thing" I said as he walked out of the room

Aaron and Nick snickered and left with him. I flopped in one of the folding chairs with a huff. Since I was in 'Time Out' for no reason I decided to pull out my phone this time and read the message

-Have a safe investigation-J

-Don't worry, I will...luv u Jeffy :)-

I chuckled because he hated when I call him that. I put my phone back in my pocket and looked at the monitors. About two minutes into it Nick came through the door to base

"Candy, Zak want you"

"To help investigate or treat me like a child once I get to him"

"To investigate"

I got up and followed Nick to where they were. We started an EVP session

"Is there anyone in here?" Zak asked as he walked around a little

he asked that a few more times and then we heard some kind of bang. Zak of course followed the noise calling for Nick while me and Aaron hung back alittle

"Do you think we should go?" Aaron asked

"Yeah, just incase they need some sort of back up"

Me and Aaron went after Nick and Zak. We finally found them in the administration room

"It just shot up to a 1.0" Zak said

Me and Aaron went closer to look at the Mel Meter

"This things going all over the place...And I got a cold blast of air. Do you guys feel this?" Zak asked with his hand held out infont of him

Nick, Aaron, and I stuck our hands where Zak's hand was

"That's weird" I said

"What?" Nick asked

"Is it me or does it feel kind of..." I stopped to think of the word, "Electrical? If that makes any sense"

"It does feel electrical Candy" Zak said observing the cold pocket of air, "And it felt like the air went through my body"

What? I thought confused

"Since there's activity herer right now how 'bout we do an EVP session?" Aaron suggested

Zak pulled out his Digital Recorder while still holding the Mel Meter

"You know, this is the place where the girl got touched" Zak said then looked at me

"Absolutetly not" I said sternly while glaring at him

"But Candy-"

"I'm not staying up here by myself while you guys go somewhere else...no way"

"Please for like 2 min-" Zak started but I cut him off

"Hell to the no"

"Candy, how about you go into the copy room? And we'll be right here if anything happens" Nick said

I let out a frustrated breath

"Fine, which room is it?"

"Go foward and it'll be the door on your right"

I walked foward until I saw the room on my LCD screen and went inside

"If there's anyone in here with me, can you make a noise?" I asked softly

I could here the guys talking and then I heard Zak ask

"Who's standing infront of me right now?"

And about that time I had an eerie feeling

"Do you see that, it's at a 0.0"

"Are you touching the female in this room?"

then the eerie feeling went away and I heard Zak start saying

"1.0, 1.2, 1.3...Ok, walk away from me...Get away from me!"

I then felt that eerie feeling again, it was more dominant this time and the guys went 'Whoa'

"Do you see that, it's at a 3.5"

My breath quickend alittle

Calm down Candy... And Zak quit getting it aggrivated! I thought trying to calm myself down

"Now it's at a 3.7" Zak said from the other room

"I can't take this anymore" I said to myself, "Guys"

"What's up Candy?" Zak asked sweetly

"Can I get out of this room now? It's getting uncomfortable"

"Yeah, come stand by us" he said moving over so I could stand by him

I got out of that room as quickly as I could and stood by Zak. I felt safe when I stood next to Zak... Hold the phone, What did I just say?

"3.8 and I do feel aggitation. Candy stay right there" he then started walking foward alittle, "Can you slide one of these f%#*ing doors?"

The Mel Meter spiked again and I had this weird feeling once again

"I have this weird feeling on my chest right now" Nick said

and about that time Billy came through on the walkie-talkie, which made me jump

"The X camera's going in and out of focus"

Zak went to the camera to examine it

"Nick are you ok?" I asked with concern

He grunted alittle

That's not a good sign I thought

Nick usually response to a question like that

"The camera's on it's normal setting so whatever the Mel-Meter was picking up that was affecting the camera" Zak stated

"Zak?" I said with worry hinted in my voice

"What's wrong Candy?" he asked coming to me.

He was about to put his hands on my arms but stopped

"Something's wrong with Nick" I said

Zak looked over at Nick

"What's up bro?"

"I have this pressure on my chest and I'm feeling weak"

"Like in a bad sense or..."

"No, I just feel drained" he said lowly

"C'mon on Nick" Zak said taking Nick's camera and headed to the door we all entered through

"What's up Aaron?" I asked looking at him

Me and Aaron heard Nick mumble something on the lines of 'I don't feel good'

"There was something that shot out of Nick's head and disappeared near his hand" Aaron told me as we followed Nick and Zak back to Base

That thing must've affected Nick I thought

We enetered the room and Billy looked up at us with concern in his eyes when he saw how Nick was looking

"Nick, come sit down" Zak said setting up a chair

But Nick didn't

"I feel emotional and like there's something on me" he said taking his jacket off and storming out of the base to lock himself in another room

I looked at Zak with worry

"Let's take a break" Zak said slowly, trying to comprehend on what just happend

Aaron started talking to the camera

"Don't worry Candy, he'll be fine in a few minutes" Zak said softly with his right hand on my left shoulder

And for some reason I felt this like shockwave go through me. I looked in Zak's eyes and by that look he was giving me I knew he felt it too

"I think I'll go outside and get some air" I said leaving the base

I stopped by the door Nick had shut and turned out the lights in. I put my right hand on the door lightly and sighed

Please be ok I thought then I started walking to the main doors.

When I was outside I grabbed the railing with my hands while leaning my back against it and looked up into the sky while sighing

What's wrong with me? I can't love Zak anymore, he broke my heart and I found someone else to be in my life...So why did I feel that? I thought then clsed my eyes to absorb the cool Texas air

I don't know how long I was out there but I heard someone walking towards me. I looked to my left and saw Billy

"You ok?" he asked

"I'll be fine"

"Alright, I just wanted you to know Nick's back in the Base"

I smiled and Billy smiled to and we headed back to Base

"You know for a second I thought you climbed the fence to get out of here" he said with a chuckle

"Really? Come on, I'm afraid of heights and I can barely climb on a step ladder without falling off" I said laughing and he joined in

We went inside the Base and I saw Nick sitting in one of the folding chairs. Billy sat back down in 'his' chair and Zak asked

"Are you alright Nick?"

"I don't know, I'm just really shaky. You know me, I'm not an emotional guy and it just hit me... It felt like I was a prisoner here"

"Aaron, can you go snap some photos?"

"Sure" Aaron said and wnet off with the camera

While Aaron was doing that Zak was changing the batteries in the cameras

"Nick, Candy, I want you two to hang out here while me, Aaron, and Billy go back to that room" Zak instructed

"Alright" I said

Billy got up and I immedantly sat down in 'his' chair

"My chair now"

he just glared at me. Soon Aaron came back and they went back to the room. I then got up and went through our 'snack bag'

"Nick if you want you can have the comfy chair" I said searching through the bag

I heard him get up slowly and then sit back down. I finally found my chili cheese fritos and I sat down where Nick previously was

"Want some?" I asked holding the bag out to him

"No thanks" he said looking at the monitors blankly

I then took a bite and watched Zak, Aaron and Billy do a spirit box session. 10 minutes into their session I noticed Nick acting weird again

"Guys come back to base" I said in the walkie-talkie

About 15 seconds past and Zak came through the door and I looked at him with worry in my eyes again

"What's-" he stopped and looked at Nick which was now pacing around the room, "Wrong?" he finished

Me, Zak, Billy, and Aaron looked dumbfounded and shocked when Nick said

"Honestly I don't give a f%#$, you can put the cameras down. I'm being fully f%#$ing serious right now"

I snapped out of my shocked/dumbfounded state and took the reins. I stood up and said

"Zak get Nick outside so he can get some fresh air and Aaron could you go to the shower room and do some investigating? It's almost time to get out of here"

"Sure" Aaron said going to the main doors followed by Zak leading Nick out

I sat back down with a long, loud sigh while putting my head on the table. A few minutes past before Billy spoke

"Are you sure you're ok Candy?"

"I'll be glad when this investigation's over" I said looking up at him

"Me too" he said sitting next to me and started watching the monitors again

Zak and Nick came back into the room

"We're going back to the room and doing a thermal sweep and then we'll call it"

"Ok" me and Billy said in unision

Zak and Nick went back to the room where it all began. About 45 minutes later Zak, Nick and Aaron came back and we started packing up

"You shoul've been in there with me Candy...You would've $h!t you pants" Aaron said taking the camera from me

"Maybe, did you?"

"Almost"

"What happend?"

"You'll just have to go over the footage" he said closing the case to the cameras.

Once we were done the security officer unlocked the big padlock and chain on the gate to let us out. We said our goodbyes to him and headed back to the hotel to get some rest before our flight that late afternoon. I tried to stay awake but I couldn't anymore and when I woke up I was in my hotel room

How'd I get here? I thought for a minute

I shrugged it off and went back to sleep.
