Ghostly Wish-(BOOK 3 OF SILVER LINING SERIES)~(COMPLETED)

The Temple On Haunted Hill

We arrive on a tour to Yang's Temple.

"Welcome to Yang's Haunted Temple, the historical landmark and former home of Sensei Yang, the notorious sensei without a pupil, infamous for creating the lost martial art of Airjitzu. Unfortunately, we can't take our tour groups inside, for rumors say anyone trapped inside its walls at sunrise, will be turned into a Ghost permanently. But, if you listen closely, maybe we'll be able to hear the Ghost of Sensei Yang himself looking for his lost pupils." Patty smiles, leading the group.

"I hope it's not a rumor, for it's our only hope!" Zane yells, as I quickly cover my ears, wincing.

"Ah, sorry about my loud friend. He's a little hard of hearing." Cole apologizes. 

"Known for his un-" Patty clears her throat. "-usual teaching methods..."

"I thought you said you fixed him?" Kai whispers.

"At least he's no longer talking backwards. I guess my tinkering got his volume level stuck, hehe." Jay says.

"At least you can understand me now!" Zane yells.

"... Dating back, ahem, to the Edo Period..." Patty glares at us.

"Well, from now on, only speak if you have something really important to say." Cole orders.

"Who put you in charge?" Kai asks.

"I did. After you guys mucked it up, it's my turn to be in charge. And, like me, I like my plans simple. We sneak in, learn Airjitzu from the Ghost of Sensei Yang, then get out before sunup." Cole commands.

"Since Morro already knows Airjitzu, we just have to hope he hasn't figured out the next clue." I say.

"Well, the sun is setting, which means we should head back to the bus. Wouldn't want anyone to turn into a Ghost." Patty says, and we take this opportunity to hide behind a statue. We wait until nightfall, then rush to the temple.Cole and Jay try to open the windows, but Zane and Kai just opens the door.

"Oh, uh, okay." Cole says.

"Not everything has to be so hard y'know?" I say. We walk around the hallways, entering a room.

"Oh." Cole sees a Spykor in front of him. "Argh!"

"Relax. If this place is truly haunted, we just need to wait until he shows himself." Kai says.

"Uh, he should've been here by now." Jay groans.

"You heard the tour guide, if we're not out by sunup, we'll be Ghosts." Cole frets.

"You didn't buy into that malarkey, did you?" Kai smirks.

"Hey, I don't wanna be a Ghost. Who wants to be a Ghost? Why didn't anyone warn us this place would get so creepy after dark?" Cole asks.

"Uh, remind me again why we agreed to put the guy afraid of Ghosts in charge?" Jay says.

Zane shows Jay a book. "Listen to this!"

"Argh! Allow me." Jay takes the book. "Ahem. Whoa. It says here though many believed Sensei Yang's unusually strict teachings drove his pupils away, others admit to never seeing any of them leave the temple grounds, suggesting a more sinister plot. Hah! How awesome is that?"

"Not awesome. Not even a little." Cole shakes his head.

"Don't believe everything you read." Kai rolls his eyes.

"Yang was hard on his pupils for a reason, for in his words As iron sharpens iron, Sensei sharpens student." I read.

"Hmm. I wonder what he means by that." Kai says a grandfather clock starts groaning.
