I promptly change into my comfy University of South Carolina sweatshirt and pull my hair into a high ponytail. Then I curl up next to the fire but I can’t concentrate on homework just yet. I decide to text Emma. It’s cool if you want to come this weekend, but something just happened that might make you change your mind. It’s less than ten seconds before Emma texts me back. What??? In as few words as possible, I text Emma about my ordeal in the freezer. Are you freckin’ kidding me? she writes back. Are you OK? I text her back, Yeah, I’m fine. Just freaked out. Then I tell her my ghost theory. That’s what I’d guess it is, she texts back. Well, I’m still coming this weekend. Keep me posted. And just in case, keep a weapon on you at all times. I want to laugh. Like what? I don’t have any weapons! I’ve Googled it. If you’re dealing with an evil spirit, you need something made of iron. Like a fire poker. That old castle probably has tons of them. Salt works, too. Pinch both and keep them with you.
