Chapter 1

"Hey guys, it's Sam and Colby. Today we are back at the infamous Queen Mary" Sam yells starting the camera up.

"You guys kept requesting that we came back one more time, so here we are. But this time we came with a little more power over the spirits! This is Alyana and she is a medium,"

This is where I come in. The two boys that I just met in person today tell the camera all about me. Talking about how I see and talk to ghost, saying how awesome it is. I don't think it's very awesome, it's more of a curse to me. Yeah of course it's cool, but living with it forever, not the best.

I start to zone out in my thought when I realized they wanted me to talk now, "Hey guys!" I say waving to the camera and bright lights that stand in-front of me.

I've been hired to go into haunted places before, but never like this. Never on film 24/7, having to explain everything I do. I'm not use to this and I'm nervous. I'm here with Sam, Colby and Sam's girlfriend named Katrina, but she said to call her Kat.

Sam turned off the cameras and started to pack up the tripod. I turn around staring at the ship that we are about to stay in.

"Hey, Alyana, you good?" Colby put his hand on my shoulder checking up on me.

"Oh yeah, sorry", I say snapping out of it, "just getting some connections already, it's gonna be a rough night"

Sam pulls the camera out again as we walk into the lobby to check in. I stand back with Katrina while they talk to the man at the desk. After we were all checked in we start walking up to the room we have for the night. Room 340, instantly I get a wave of connections rush over me which makes me stop in my tracks to calm down. The amount of spirits rushing to me at once sometimes overwhelm me.

"Alyana, what's wrong?" Colby puts his hand on my shoulder once again.

"I'm just getting a shit ton of connections right now," I say to the camera.

"Woaahh," Sam starts talking to the camera as we just stand outside the door.

That's the second time Colby has checked on me, I wonder if he is starting to get his third eye, he always knows when somethings going on.

We walk into the room and put all of our stuff down. I immediately walk toward the bathroom, "There's a spirit at the sink," I tell everyone.

"No way," Colby says shocked, "Last time we were here there was a lot of activity in there, the shower turn on," he explains to me.

We explore the rest of the ship before going back to our room at 2:30 to get ready for a séance. We all sit on the couch and chairs in front of a table as Sam sets up the camera.

"Before we get started, I would like to put protection over all of you," I say turning to my left facing Katrina.

I grab both of her hands and close my eyes. I see my light of protection going over her. Then I turn to my right for Colby. He gives me his hands and I grab them. He holds onto them tightly, making me think that he is scared. As I'm giving him my protection his grip lessens and it feels natural. After everyone is ready, we begin.

"If there is a spirit here with us, please give us a sign using our many devices," Sam says out loud.

The EMF reader spikes a bit but personally I'm not getting anything. After about 20 minutes I start to see a entity in the bathroom. I tell everyone that I see something in the bathroom, and of course they freak out a bit. This is not a spirit, this is something evil.

"You are not welcome here with us," I yell at it, "I have protected everyone and there is nothing you can do to us"

Suddenly it disappears from the bathroom. Before I can look around for it there is a terrible pain coming from my back. I yell out in pain and arch my back. Everyone stands up and comes closer to me. Sam turns the lights on.

"What happened?" Colby yells in disbelief.

"It scratched me," I cry in pain. This is the worse pain i've felt from an entity.

"Here, is it okay if I look?" He asks with his hand at the bottom of my shirt ready to lift it up.

I nod and help him lift it up. I bundle my shirt up around my neck, so it isn't touching my cuts.

"Oh my god!" Colby yells. "Someone get a rag hurry!"

Katrina runs to the bathroom and wets a cold rag and hands it to Colby. He sits beside me and hold his hand out for me.

"This is going to hurt, the cuts are deep and you're bleeding, squeeze my hand,"

I grab onto his hand as he gently places the rag onto my back. I can't help but to yell out in pain, it burns so bad.

"Hey it's okay, I'm almost done," Colby reassures me.

I'm crying at this point and holding onto Colbys hand really tight. When he's done cleaning them up he helps me slide my shirt back on, making sure to keep eye contact so his eyes don't wander elsewhere.

"Thank you," I say whipping my single tear left on my cheek.

"How did that happen?" Kat asks.

"It was mad that I can see it, they all are," I admit.

"Well then we should leave," Colby states getting up from where he was beside me.

"No guys I don't want to be the reason we leave. Isn't this what you want, proof? They're here and they're giving us plenty of signs," I say standing up next to Colby.

"We don't want you to get hurt anymore, Alyana," Sam says and Colbys nods.

"I'm fine guys really, if you really want to leave it's okay, but I don't think we should"

Sam and Colby look at each other and go into the hallway leaving me and Kat in the room. She gets me some water and repeatedly asks me if i'm okay. I tell her over and over again that I am fine. After a while Colby comes up to me and pulls me aside.

"Hey look, we don't want to keep you here if you're in danger. If you said what you said because of the cameras or because of us, it doesn't matter. You're in danger and if you need to leave, we will leave,"

"Colby, I don't want to leave," I snap. "I'm always in danger, I'm use to it. Let's keep going"

I turn around and go back to my spot on the couch. The rest of the night wasn't as wild. A couple words from the spirits here and there, a couple knocks for yes and no, and the sink turned on a few times.

After we were all done and packing up our devices Colby comes up to me, "Hey I'm sorry if I made you mad. I've just never seen anything like that before and um, I was worried," he stutters.

I can't help but to smile at him, "It's okay, you didn't make me mad" I laugh hitting his arm.

Around 5am we all decided it was time to call it a night. Sam and Kat took the larger bed which left a smaller bed and a couch.

"I'll take the couch," I say grabbing my phone.

"No no, you take the bed," Colby insisted.

"No really it's fine," I laughed sitting on the couch and he sits beside me.

"Tell me about yourself, Alyana,"

"Well it all started when I was 5 and I saw my first spirit.." Colby cuts me off.

"No, about the real you, not the medium you," He looks into my eyes.

"Oh," I blush, I'm so use to people only wanting to know the ghost stories, "I grew up in Michigan and once I started to build a following I moved to LA to get myself more out there,"

Colby proceeds to tell me about him. Before we know it, the sun is starting to rise, "Do you wanna go outside and watch the sunrise?" He asks me.

"yeah sure,"

We walk down and sit on a bench watching the beautiful sunrise.

"How's your back feeling?" Colby asks sitting up a little straighter.

"Oh it feels fine, you did a good job doctoring me," I laugh.

Colby laughs too, "Sorry if you felt uncomfortable with the whole ya know, shirt not being on thing," he blushes a bit when he says that.

"No I didn't, I knew it was to take care of the scratches"

We ended up staying out there the whole morning and finally at 9 is when we realized what time it was.

"We should probably go wake up the other two and start to head out," Colby said getting up off the bench. He holds out his hand to help me up and I gratefully take it.

We slowly walk back up to the room and open the room door to Sam and Kat still sleeping. Colby thought it would be a good idea to hit them with a pillow to wake them up, which scared them half to death since we're on a haunted ship.

"Bro what the fuck," Sam laughs grabbing the pillow and throwing it back at Colby.

Once they're up and ready we end the video and start the ride home. I almost fall asleep instantly since I stayed up all night. When I woke up the first thing I saw was Colby next to me in the back seat looking at me.

"Oh sorry," he blushes, "I was just uh looking out the window,"

"No, he was watching you sleep," Sam said from the drivers seat.

"He said something about how cute you looked while sleeping," Katrina added from the passenger.

Colbys face turned instantly red and I couldn't help but to blush and laugh. After a couple more hours in the car we get back to the house that Sam, Colby, Kat and a few other people that I haven't met yet share.

"Hey drive safe and let me know when you're home, okay?" Colby says opening my car door for me.

"Thanks for all the help Colby," I blush looking into his ocean blue eyes. We just looked at each other for a little bit before he said goodbye and walked away. I caught myself watching him walk into his house before I drove off. Huh weird.
