Chapter 9: Who?

Luke's POV

F*ck. No no no no no this can't be happening I have to get control back.

Caleb grabs Reggie and poofs them back to the Hollywood Ghost Club, I try to stop him I try to take back control but I can't.

"Stop! Stop, I know you can hear me!" I shout at Caleb."Alright, let him go, okay I'll join your stupid band if that's what you want. Just please leave him, and Alex, alone."

Caleb either can't hear me anymore or he his ignoring me. He shoves Reggie into a room, locking the door. 

"Great, what am I gonna do now?!" Caleb asks outloud. At least it seems Reggie foiled some of his plans at least.

All of the sudden, I feel like something is being ripped out of me, like I'm tearing in two. I groan in pain and fall to the floor and the pain stops.

In front of me is Caleb. He left my body, I'm me again! I spring up ignoring the pain I'm in. I was just possessed, it probably normal. I ran to the door and fiddle with the lock trying to get it undone but Caleb pulls me away.

"Let go of me!" I shout, struggling to get free as he dragged me back by the hem of my shirt holding my arm back, straining it against my back. I have to get Reggie out of there.

"You really don't know when to quit, do you?" Caleb says. "You could have died fighting my possession so hard and yet look at you, you still got fight inside of you. Well my friend, I have a fight too."

I struggled to get free, but I couldn't.

"Please let him go." I say. "Alright, do whatever you want to me, but let him go."

"That's not part of the plan." Caleb says. "But don't worry, you won't remember any of this."

Caleb turn me around and stares into my eyes and I can feel my head start to ache. The ache turns into immense pain. I can feel Caleb inside my brain trying to erase my memories. I wasn't going to give them up though. I keep fighting him, until suddenly I feel like my brain is exploding I fall to the ground and everything goes black.

Julie's POV

I look around the room to see if there's something that can help me escape. I can't believe Trevor is working with Caleb. I can't believe the guy I once thought was a talented musician but turned out to by a liar and a thief was also just pure evil. I wouldn't be surprised if it was him who posioned the hotdogs.

All of the sudden, the door swings open and Luke is shoved inside and the door quickly shuts again before I can stop it. Now me and Luke were trapped in here.

"Luke, omygoodness, are you alright?" I ask going up to him.

"Yeah I'm fine." He says looking at me in confusion. "Who are you?"

"Haha very funny." I say. Was he serrisoisly making jokes at a time like this?! "Don't you think right now kinda is the wrong time for jokes."

"I don't know, I guess so but I didn't make a joke." Luke says. "Where are we, what is this place."

"The Hollywood Ghost Club." I say.

"Ghost!?" Luke says

"Don't sound so shocked, you're the ghost here." I say.

"I'm a what!?" He says. "I have to get out of here, I have to go home." Luke goes for the door but its locked. He knocks on the door. "Hello!? Anyone there!? Let me outta here!"

"They're not gonna let us out." I say. What was up with him? Why was he acting like he didn't know who I was?

"They have to, this is kidnapping." Luke says. "My parents will come looking for me."

"Luke ...your parents aren't coming to look for you." I say, getting worried now. "You've been dead for twenty five years."

"What!?" He says.

"Don't you remember? You, Alex and Reggie ate some bad hotdogs and died." I explain.

"Who?" He says.

Did he really not remember his best friends or them dying? What did Caleb do to him?

"Alex and Reggie." I repeat. "Your friends, Sunset Curve? Ring a bell?"

Luke stares at me blankly. He really didn't remember. This is gonna be a problem.

Caleb's POV

I didn't want to erase all of Luke's memeroy. I only wanted to erase the part of him knowing Reggie was here, but since he fought against me I had to use more strength and power.  Luke unexpectedly collapsed and it was too much power and I erased more than I wanted to.

This could be a problem. If he doesn't remember his friends, how am I gonna motavaite him to join me?

Reggie's POV

I am use to being locked in rooms, closets, boxes, you name it. This room was no different. I took a deep breath to try and remain calm and I begin to look around the room for something to help me escape since I couldn't poof. There were no windows so I need to look for something to make a lock pick out of.

I look under the mattress of the bed, in drawers, I looked everywhere. No luck.

Alright, don't panic. It'll be fine. What would Luke do? Or Alex?

They probably wouldn't be in this situation in the first place. 

I keep thinking of all the ways I've learned how to escape, and then I remembered the time when I was locked in the janitor's closet at school. Yeah that one was my fault, I went in there to skip math class but then I was locked in. I got out through the vent.

I look up an smile to see vent up by the ceiling, but I saw it as my way out, not a vent.

I climbed up on the bed and popped open the vent. It was surprisingly really easy. I climb into the vent and begin to climb through it. I'm not sure where all the turns lead so I just kinda guess and see where I end up.

I find another vent and when I look through it I see Luke, or rather Caleb, and Julie. Julie doesn't know he's possessed, I have to get her out of there.

I pop open the vent and drop down into the room.

"Julie, get away from him he's possessed!" I say.

"Reggie?" Julie says. "How'd you- " she looks up and sees the open vent. "Did you come through the vent?"

"Yeah." I say. "But that's not Luke, it's Caleb, he's possessing him." I say.

"Who's Caleb?" Caleb asks.

"Reg, that's really Luke. Caleb shoved Luke in here with his memeroy whipped." Julie says.

"So he doesn't remember anything?" I ask.

"No." Julie says. "He doesn't remember you or Alex, or that you died. He doesn't remember being in a band or running out on his parents."

I look over at Luke and he looks at me, relief struck his face and he runs up and hugs me.

"Oh thank goodness you're alright!" He says. I thought he didn't remember me. I look at Julie in confusion and she had the same confused expression as me.

"Yeah, yeah I'm alright but I thought you don't remember me." I say as we part. Maybe there was a piece of him deep down that still did, a piece we can bring up to the surface, and bring him back.

"I-I don't." Luke says. "Not really I mean. I mean, I can't place a name to your face, but I know I know you some how, and I know I care about you, and I know I'm happy that you're alright." He says.

"Oh well...you do know me. We're best friends. Me you and Alex. I'm Reggie by the way." I say. It's so weird to introduce myself to him all over again.

"Yeah, Julie says we were in a band together called Sunset Swerve."

"Sunset Curve!" Me and Julie say in unison. Julie says it in a dissapointed sigh and I say it in a bit of a shout.

"Jeeze sorry." Luke says. "You don't have to be so mean about it."

"So, what do you remember?" I ask.

"My feelings for you." He says staring at me.
