Leon and his brother-in-law ken were out for the day. Leon’s mom had other things to do and didn’t really care what they did. They just decided to go around town when they came across a sign that said private property. Leon always wanted to go check it out but knew it was wrong if he crossed over on the land. Ken noticed the barn in the back and wanted to go check it out. Ken is the oldest by the way, he's tall tan with light brown hair, brown eyes. Leon is the youngest by 3 years mid height, he's not to short not too tall, tan, blond hair, with blue eyes.   
       Leon still thought it was wrong but he wasn’t by himself so he thought why not. As they were walking towards the barn Leon thought he saw something run across the top floor, and he paused. At that point Ken was almost inside when he looked back and got Leon’s attention. “Hey Leon are you alright?” And Leon said, “Yeah I’m fine I thought I just saw something.”
      So as they got into the barn Ken said they should split up. So as Leon started walking he thought he heard someone whisper his name. Leon went a little farther into the barn and said “Hello is anyone there?” He feels a cool breeze and turns around. Ken on the other hand was having blast looking at all the things he could find.  
     It’s not what Leon saw, it’s who Leon saw, and he saw Teofilo. Well his ghost. This made Leon scream and run. When he ran he fell through the hole in the loft. Ken went and ran to find him and tried to help Leon up. But he had broken his ankle, and Leon couldn't walk all the way back to his house like that.
      Ken went to see if Leon’s mom was back. When he explained what happened his mom rushed out of the house and followed Ken to where this whole thing happened. But when they got there Leon was gone and knows where to be found. They looked all over for him and they still didn’t find him. So his mom was crying because she thought he was dead.
        About three to four months later he ended up on Ken’s porch knocking on the door. Ken opens the door not knowing who it was. Once he saw it was Leon he was so happy that he was alive, because Ken and Leon's mom thought he was dead. “Where did you come from? How could you move you broke your ankle?” “I did and it healed, and I was with Teofilo he said if I went with him he would keep me save.” “But he’s dead remember, so where did he take you.”
        “To a place I couldn't really see it; it was so bright I want to say it was a room. It made me feel really different.” “So you were in this place for a couple months and you don't exactly nowhere or what it looked like?” “Yes exactly. But I have to go now”. “Where, are you going to see your mom?”
      “Yeah but before I do I need to figure out what I'm going to tell her. If I tell her what I told you she will never believe me.” “But even after I see her and tell her I'm fine I can’t stay.” “Why can’t you I don't get it ?” “He told me if he healed my ankle right there when it happened I had to go with him. He said it was for a reason I wasn't supposed to be here anymore.”
         Here? “Like on this planet you have all right to be here as I do, and a dead person can’t tell you otherwise.” “So I think the right thing to do is go back to your mom and stay with her. If you want I could even walk over there with you.” You know what Ken your right, I can’t believe I was so stupid to believe someone who can’t really hurt me.” “Well I'll talk to you later”. “Okay, bye Leon.”
        So moments later when he got home he ran into the house calling “mom it’s me Leon! I'm home! Mom where are you?” So he just decided to wait and take a nap on the couch, he was thinking maybe she went out to do some shopping. Hours later when she finally came home from doing stuff all day, she notices Leon on the couch runs over hugs him to death and she really can’t believe that he’s here right now. “Leon wakes up.”
      “Mom ware where you I’ve been looking all over for you.” “I was out getting some groceries and visiting some people. But where on earth did you come from? I thought you were dead? But I'm so glad your okay.”
     “Just don't worry about it mom, I'm back and okay you don't have to worry about me disappearing because it won’t happen again. “Leon you know I want an answer why won’t you give me one?” “Mom please can we just drop it.” “No we can’t you’ve been somewhere else but here for a couple months and I want to know where that was.” “Okay fine but you’re not going to believe me, but I've been with Teofilo.” “That's impossible he’s dead how’s could you be with him.”
         “He’s the reason I broke my ankle in the first place.” “How did he go and push you down.” “No mom he was trying to contact me I guess you could say. I got scared because I saw him, ran and fell. Ken didn't even know what was going on until it happened because we separated.” “Why on earth would you separate in a place you haven't been before you’re supposed to stay together? Especially because it was on private property so you weren't even supposed to be there in the first   
           “See this is why I didn't want to tell you anything, you would just over react.” “I just want to keep you safe Leon I'm not trying to over react.” “Well didn't you do things like this when you were younger?” “Yes but I knew it was wrong and I didn't want you to do things like I did.” “Mom were all going to do things that are dangerous but were going to learn from it. I mean if you once did it you shouldn't get mad because we try it. That’s what makes things more tempting.
           “Alight we discussed this enough how about I go make some dinner. “Sure I’m starving.” “Anything in mind you want to eat?” “Your delicious spaghetti and meat ball” “Okay sure we can have that I haven't had it in a while anyway” “After they ate they went to bed because they were both really tired.”
