While we were trying to make up our minds, Shane grabbed my arm and pointed at Patrick. Our friend was already halfway up the stairs, and I gasped when I saw what Shane was pointing out. Patrick was transparent! I could see the faded wallpaper ont he all behind him, and before we could shout a warning, he had vanished completely!
We both ran to the foot of the stairs and looked up, but there was no sign of Patrick. No way he could have gotten up there so fast. And then we both jumped as we heard his voice from above. "Come on, you guys! Don't be pussies! It's just some noises and maybe some holograms."
Shane and I stared at each other - I could hear Patrick like he was standing at the top of the stairs, but if he was there he was invisible.
