LATE THAT NIGHT, I waited till everyone in my cabin was asleep. I grabbed a can of bug repellent off the dresser and sneaked outside to meet Nicky and Tara. As I sprayed myself with the bug spray, Nicky and Tara floated beside me.

“I'm so glad to see you!” I cried.

Nicky frowned at me. “Max, next time you take a dive, make sure there's water in the pool.”

Tara slid her arm around my shoulders. “Where would you be without us, Max?”

“Where have you been?” I cried. “I—I've been looking for you for days.”

“We just escaped,” Tara said. “We … we were so scared.”

“We're still scared,” Nicky said. “Those two creatures who pretended to be our parents? They're still here. Hiding in that abandoned cabin in the woods.”

“And so is Phears,” Tara added.

I let out a cry. Huh? Phears? Oh no. Oh wow.

I knew Phears. I knew he was the most frightening ghost of them all. He called himself the Animal Traveler. He hid inside animals. Then he blew the animals apart and came sailing out.

Phears has terrifying powers. His hobby is hurting people. He once pulled back my dog's skin and turned him completely inside out. Then he started to do the same thing to me.

“He's here. We saw him,” Tara said. She chewed her bottom lip.

“The two insects dragged us to camp. They really want that pendant,” Nicky whispered.

“Our parents have to be inside it,” Tara said. “Why else would they be so desperate to get their hands on it?”

“The insects hid in the empty cabin. They planned to go after your brother. But Phears appeared,” Nicky said. “Guess what? He's their leader. They work for him.”

“Phears has been here all along,” Tara said, glancing around the dark camp. “He's been watching you, Max.”

I swallowed. The night suddenly grew a lot colder.

“Phears got in a big argument with the two ghosts,” Nicky said. “He was furious because it was taking them so long to get the pendant. He called them all kinds of names. They started shoving each other. It turned into a real fight.”

“That's how we escaped,” Tara said. “Nicky and I slipped away while they were fighting. They didn't even see us go.”

“But we know what their plan is,” Nicky said, lowering his voice. “They're waiting for you to do the work, Max. They're waiting for you to get the pendant. Then they're going to pounce.”

I gulped. “Pounce?”

Tara nodded. “They're here. They're watching. They're ready to pounce.”

And then I heard a cracking sound behind me.

I spun around. And cried out, “Phears!”
