Zara, The Ghost Zapper
Page 7
“She’s sensing something big,” Hammy gasped.
“Yep, kind of figured that out,” I said.
“SUPER GHOST!” Maria shouted. “I think it is out there.” She stood still, staring at the door.
I heard the words with both my ears and my head. In fact, the words echoed in my brain. I shook them out.
“Maria, don’t be attracted towards it, we aren’t ready for a super ghost.” Hammy warned.
“Wait Maria,” I told her
Yelling “Hiya!!” Maria leapt cross the room and yanked the door wide open. We couldn’t see anything, but we could definitely sense a buzzing energy.
I flicked my yo-yo out at the space, but there was nothing there. “Sweet move, Zara,” Maria said, sounding totally in control, while I was absolutely freaking out!
We both backed away and closed the door. All three of us breathed a sigh of relief and smiled at each other. “Hammy, do you think that was a super ghost?” Hoping that he would say no…just our 12-year-old imaginations.
Then we heard a noise behind us. It was a clanging sound and we turned to see Harry the ghost trying to get away. I pulled out my zapper and got him, right between the shoulder blades. Poof! He disappeared. “In all the excitement of the possible super ghost sighting, I totally forgot about Harry,” I said.
Maria gave me a huge hug. Hammy, who was obviously feeling left out, jumped between our feet. It was one of those moments that you know you will never forget.
“Hammy, from now on our team is going to be called Ghost Busters,” Maria said, waiting for Hammy to object.
“I’m part of your team!” he shouted. “I’m so excited, I love you girls,” he started crying with joy.
Maria picked him up and gave him a kiss on the back of his head. “Oh you really are adorable…” she fussed.
“I know.”
“One more thing Hammy, our team is called the Ghost Busters.” I told him. He looked from me to Maria and back again.
Hammy patted me on the hand. A weird move, even for Hammy. “Ghost Busters it is,” he declared.
I placed a hand on Maria’s shoulder. “How are you feeling?” I asked.
“I’m okay, Zara. I’ll be fine, that was really scary.”
I removed my hand from her shoulder. “Which part, dealing with Harry the ghost or sensing what could be a super ghost?”
Maria’s eyes started to tear up. “The super ghost, in my 2 years of training to be a sensor, I’ve never felt anything so powerful.”
“Don’t worry Maria,” I said.
Maria smiled. “Yep.” Patting me on the back she said, “We do make a good team.”
I straightened my back. “Hey, we just got rid of our first full fledged ghost!” I said.
“Yes. Yes, we did,” Maria said.
Hammy brought us both back down to earth. “Yes, and we also learned that there is a super ghost on the loose.”
“Oh, yeah,” I said.
“Good point,” Maria added.
Hammy stood up on two legs and took charge, as least as much charge as you can take when you’re a tiny hamster. “Maria, send a mental message to your father and Zara’s Grandma that a super ghost is on the loose.”
“Done,” Maria said.
“Good. Now they can alert others and bring reinforcements if we need ‘em,” Hammy said.
“So what do we do now?” I asked.
Hammy pointed to the door. “Go back up to the main floors of the school and finish your day.”
“Ah,” I sighed. Classes would be a bit of let down after fighting a ghost.
“It’s important, Zara,” Hammy said. “Not only do you need an education, but you and Maria may be able to find out some clues to who the super ghost is! After all, I am sure the super ghost is related to the school.”
“Okay, back to the classroom.”
“What are you going to be doing, Hammy?” Maria asked.
“I’ll stay down here in the basement where it’s safer for a hamster to hang out...less questions. I’ll also look for clues down here.”
“Sounds like a plan,” I said as Maria and I left the boiler room.
“Just remember to pick me up after school!” Hammy shouted.
Maria and I hugged each other before we headed back up the stairs. “Maria, we make a great team. We are more than just ghost zappers or ghost hunters...we are definitely GHOST BUSTERS!” Maria smiled and agreed, we high-fived and headed back to the ‘normal’ world inside our classroom.
But I have to admit, both of us were a little wary knowing that somewhere out there and probably close by...was a super ghost.
