I launched over to Hattie, and pulled her away from the wall.

Her words had sent terror through me, confirming the manor was haunted.

Pulling her close to me, I turned to the others and pressed my finger against my pursed lips.

I listened with every fiber of me being, and stepped closer to the wall.

Leaning into it, I pressed my ear against the antique moldings and listened for any sound.

All eyes watched as I focused, and then, without warning, I jumped away from the wall.

"I heard it," I whisper-screamed. "Oh my god. Something's in the wall."

Piper's eyes nearly bugged out of her head.

"Mice?" Noah squirmed.

"No," I retorted. "Voices. Whispering."

Hattie's head nodded a million miles an hour in agreement.

Clayton pressed his ear to the wall, keeping a sharp eye on the double doors. He pointed to Noah and motioned for him to close the doors. His finger shot to his lips to be sure Noah would be silent.

With a slow click, the doors closed, and Noah snuck back over to us.

By that time, Clayton had turned his full attention to the wall and moved his hands along the moldings. As he slid down along the edge, his hand stopped at a small hole. He bent down and peered into it.

"A keyhole," he mouthed.

Everyone moved in closer.

I glanced around, searching for the missing key, knowing it had probably been lost centuries ago.

"Push on it," I whispered, getting closer and placing my hands near his.

Positioning our pressure near the vertical line of molding, we pushed at the same time.

With a squeak of wood rubbing on wood, the wall shifted an inch.

My heart rate shot pressure into my head, and my breath sucked in.

"Oh my god," I breathed. "Push again."

And with a second shove of our bodies, the wall broke free, revealing an opening through a small door.

"It's a secret room," I whispered, leaning inside for a better look.

In an instant, I reeled back, gasping in shock.

Clayton pushed past me and looked inside.

"Stop!" he shouted into the secret room. "Chloe. Josie. Take your hands off the board!"

My mind whipped into a frenzy as I realized what was happening.

"Get the hell out of here, Clayton." Josie's annoyed voice sent bristles down my spine.

And before I could control myself, I stormed into the hidden space.

Ready to knock their hands off the board, I stomped toward them, only to stop short in amazement.

The room was incredible—filled with artifacts, like a museum.

Gold-gilded portraits, antique furniture, faded war veteran uniforms, historical multi-layered gowns draped over headless mannequins. Crates and leather bound chests lined the edges, holding time-capsule mysteries that blossomed my imagination.

But then my eyes landed back on Josie and Chloe. Their fingers still sat upon the planchette as it moved across the Ouija Board.

"You don't know what you're doing," I shouted. "Stop!"

"We can't stop now," Chloe said, pleading with her eyes. "He's finally talking with us. You don't understand. I've been trying to communicate with the other side for so long."

I gasped at her words.

"But... but Chancellor Kelly said you already could.
