Panting in terror, I looked behind me to see what was terrifying Shay, to my surprise, there was nothing there, Shay was frightened of

My hands! I couldn't see them! Except for a faint blu glow, they were invisible! Madame Rose's goo had turned me into

~~~ZERO control I had over my body, "Why?", I screamed, "Why?" She wouldn't or couldn't answer me. Now........
Carat, you shall pay!
And FINE, Ignore my scones, lol!
what do I do? What would anyone do in this situation? Shey??? where is Shey??? Suddenly Madame LeRose stops and points out across a pond I never knew existed. Was she trying to tell me something?? Show me something?? I look out across the pond, its glassy top reflecting the heavy fog that hoovered just inches above it. Is that a boat I see???
Opps, couldn't say thanks for the scones with one in each hand and one in my mouth. I was kinda hoping you didn't notice that I really like scones.
Ever more cautious, I crept closer to the pond, peering through the mist. It was a boat! And it was close enough to shore that I could wade carefully with my transparent blue feet to grab hold of the bow and climb into it. I had to see what was on the other side of the pond, so I began to row, slowly making my way across the glassy surface. Gradually, the view of the other side became clearer and I could see an
Hey, where's my scone? How did I miss getting a scone?
an-other ghost pointing me to a cave! Why am I following these ghosts i have a bad feeling this is not a good thing they are leading me into a cave and I cannot do anything to stop myself from going into it.
What happened to Shey ? Did she stay behind or is.....
~~~she going for help? I wish I knew. She has gotten help for me before! One time, I remember........
I'm going to be off for the rest of the day, for the most part. I'm going to be bringing in all my plants I want to overwinter and getting the lights set up, ect. Ugh, I was really hoping it was going to stay warmer for a couple of more weeks, but the forecast for next week looks lousy.
running on adreneline (sp?) we had decided to have a campout with the kids. Now, normally we would plan these things out for weeks, but with this trip it was decided late Friday night we would head out at first light Saturday morning. We would only be staying the one night, how much planning could a one night campout take??? Guess we discovered more then 8 hours because 4 hours into our trip all heck broke loose and what started as a party of 5 was now a party of.......
gosh, one little mistake and I am already in trouble and its still so early in the morning.....

Rules:
add a line or two to the existing story
anyone can jump in at any time
for extra fun, we are starting our new entry with the last letter of the previous entry
and 2 very important ones to help us stay organized in our chaos:
Please hit preview before you post to make sure no one else has added while you were typing
Please mark your entry with ~~~, ***, or ... before and after so we can distinguish it from our other chit chat
Here is the story so far...
A Midnight Garden Tour
(insert evil wind howling sounds here)
~~~It was a dark and foggy night when I decided to tour the gardens of the late Madame LeRose. It is rumoured that these gardens are haunted because...
~~~Ever since Madame LeRose dissappeared people had been reporting strange noises. Even worse were the reports of...~~~
~~~fumes, a terrible stench coming from the garden shed. I thought I smelled something and started walking in that direction...~~~
... No do not go any further my mind said ---but I kept going towards the shed and the smell got stronger and more powerful. Continueing to shed I felt a strange feeling as if i were not alone as if someone or something was right there beside me and I .....
and I turned to see what it could be---- but nothing was there so I continued..... but the feeling was still there.. ... I knew someone was beside me as I followed the path and so I turned to face.....
~~~exactly my biggest fear! It was her! The ghost of Madam LeRose. She was transparent, but I could...
~~definately see her standing, or rather floating, right beside me! She opened her mouth to speak, and I fainted. When I came to...~~
~~~came to, opened my eyes and realised I was wet. Head to toe wet. And where was...
~~where was Shey, my trusty canine companion? I know I saw her here a few moments before Madame LeRose appeared. Could she be...~~~~
... ever so hidden as she is so good at that?? I wondered as I got up and felt that the wettness was a clear stinky goo and I was covered in it!.......
~~~Taking stock, I'm very wet, I'm not sure where I am, I can't find my little Shey and this goo is awful. Where did it come from? Why was it starting to burn a little? Suddenly I knew! While I was unconscious...
....SO I had been slimed by the ghost of Madame LeRose and this kind of goo was very dangerous and toxic ... but what is that weird feeling on my leg??? Shey Oh no she is licking the goo! This cannot be good I must.......
~~take us to a doctor right away! I tried to get up and run, but wait, I can't move...what is that...~~~
~~~Terrible looking creature over there OH NO I cannot move and "IT" is coming right for me and Shey.........
~~Shey yelped as if in pain. The hair on her muzzle was turning black.....
... knocking her out cold she dropped to the ground. The creature was getting closer and I could make out the outline of "IT"----OH no it could'nt be..........
~~~"Eeeenie meeeeanie miiiiineeee moOOoo" "It" croaked. I could feel every hair on my body standing straight up.....
...pulling with all my strength I broke my feet free of the goo that was holding me to the ground and.....
....deciding to be careful began to check myself over as I looked to see where the "IT" was hiding. I glanced over to Shay, laying still next to a clump of weeds. I slowly made my way to her to see if she was still breathing, as I bent down her eyes opened and I saw.....
~~~white, her eyes were glowing white. It must be this mysterious goo, I had to get it off of us. Faintly in the dark I saw a garden hose, or was it....~~~
~~That snake I had caught a tail end look at last month. Either which way, I needed to get the goo off...

*****family and friends, who insisted on going along. They all had camping gear and food, so the only problem was space for sleeping. During the night, we heard something rummaging through our food supplies, and Shey ran out of our tent, growling and barking loudly. Whatever the midnight marauder was, Shey had frightened it away! In the morning, we looked around at where we had stacked our provisions, and saw bear tracks, not grizzly sized but big enough for us to be grateful that Shey had been on guard....****
~~~dogs are like that, they like to protect us. Hopefully, I thought, Shey is somewhere protecting me now. On the other hand, perhaps Shey is in the cave and needs my help this time. I decide to take a look...~~~
heheh a k for you guys!
~~~~keeping in mind Shey could still be in the shed, or back where I left her I continued slowly through the thicking woods towards the cave. The trail had not been traveled in many years and the vines and undergrowth had covered most it. Just as I reach the end of the trail I hear the leaves in trees begin to rustle, suddenly I am icy cold and the fog from the pond has now spread up towards the entrance of the cave....~~~~
****Entering slowly, bent over because I couldn't walk upright, stalagtites dripped water on my back. Now, not only were my feet and legs soaked through, water was dripping down my back, adding to the cold chills from the pond. Up ahead, I saw a faint blu***
mwahahahahaha
***** Uh-oh! A faint blu image of a man...or is that a mirage? No, it's coming closer...it's not a mirage...Oh thank goodness! Are my eyes playing tricks on me, or is it *****
*** the man from the entrance to the garden? The one who pointed me in the diretion of the tour I was taking alone. Was he a friend or foe....
~~~even though he smiled at me, his eyes were so cold. How could I trust him? Why should I trust.....
Ht the wrong button, dang movie caught my eye

~~~~a man that I don't know, while I am crouched over in a cave that I didn't know exsisted until a ghost pulled me here. "What??? What did you say?"...~~~~
~~~"You look exactly like Madame LeRose in her younger days, my dear. Why are you here? Especially on the anniversary of her disappearance. Yes, she left us exactly 100 years ago today" Oh my, what is going on? I heard a soft whisper behind me and just as I turned...~~~
~~~~near the cave entrance stood Madame LeRose in all her grandeur and grace. She looked so regal standing there I almost forgot that she is a ghost. I slowly began to move forward towards her she held out her hand as to stop me and then she looked down at the cave floor at my feet and said "It lies beneath." I said "what lies beneath?" as I looked up, all I saw was a faint haze of the same blu mist that has mystified me all night. I look behind me to see if Mr. Ebbs the man from the entrance gate had seen her and he too.....~~~~
~~~ oviously had seen her, for he also stood open-mouthed and pondering what could lie beneath. Madame LeRose was disappearing rapidly, but the vision haunted me. I began Searching for~~~
