pushed his long black hair out of his face and look down at the floor when he saw her looking at him.
"You know, tonight has been really fun, considering everything else. Its seems like this was the only real thing that had happened to me or you, huh?" Reece whispered, walking around the back to face Griffen.
"Yeah, it has been fun. And I think that this has been the most human normal thing that we have done since meeting each other."
"Yeah. But that can't all last, now can it?" Reece asked, knowing what he was going to say.
"No, it can't. Even though I would like to have everything back to normal, that can't happen. Nothing in my life is normal. Nothing in your life is normal."
"Not anymore, anyways," Reece whispered so low, that Griffen almost didn't hear it.
"I'm sorry, Reece. I know that you just want your life back, but we both know that it probably won't go back to the way it was," Griffen said, trying to make her see that nothing in her life would ever go back to the way it had been when her parents were still alive and her brother too.
"If only there was something that I could do to make everything back to normal. But I don't think that there is anything that can be done," she said, sorrow filling her heart as she thought about her parents and her brother.
Reece and her brother were closer than she was to her parents and she had a special place just for him in her heart. No matter what he had done to make her mad or to make her cry or sad, she always forgave him no matter what. And when he died, she felt like that special place in her heart for him had died along with him.
"Well, remember when we first met? And I told you that I know some people? Well, if you want to, after we go and find those papers you need, maybe we can go and find them and see what they can do for you," Griffen offered.
Reece thought about it for a minute, but she still wasn't sure about Griffen yet, and she surely didn't want to meet anymore people that had powers. But then again, she did need the help.
"Okay, but only if you don't tell them that I am the girl from the prophecy. Well, if I'm the girl from the prophecy."
"You are, and don't you forget it."
"How can I? And you don't know if I am the person from the prophecy," Reece said, denying that who she was.
"Well, you have me on that one, but I feel ninety percent sure that you are the girl from the prophecy," Griffen said a matter of fact.
"Really? Because I sure don't know what to think about any of this besides that I think this is all just a crazy dream."
Griffen laughed, then sighed. "You sure know how to make someone laugh, don't you?"
"I wasn't trying to be funny," Reece huffed, frowning.
"Okay, whatever you say. Lets go whenever your ready to leave, okay?" Griffen asked, quickly changing the subject.
"Okay. I'm going to go get some things from my office," Reece said, walking away from Griffen and she opened her office door and stopped right before she went in, gasping out loud.
Griffen heard her gasp and ran to see what was going on.
"What's wrong?"
"My brother is here. Right there to be exact," Reece said, not taking her eyes off of him.
"Man, I wish I could see the dead."
"No, you don't. I'm glad that I just started because I don't think I would have liked seeing the dead as a child."
Reece's brother walked around the room, looking at each different thing that was piled on her desk, or thrown on the floor or into the trash until he stopped right in front of an old filing cabinet that Reece hasn't used for years. She hasn't even looked in it for almost a year when this room became her office.
Reece walked over to it and opened it up, seeing that everything she had previously set or put in there had been taken out and replaced by a single yellow faded folder with Brian's name on the front.
Reece took it out slowly and opened it like she thought something was going to pop out any second if she opened it.
"What is it?" Griffen asked, looking over her shoulder, sending a chill up her spine.
"I'm not sure."
"It looks like a will to me. Yeah, it is. It says that it is right here," Griffen said, pointing to where it said last will and testament of Brian Wilberg.
"Oh," was all Reece could say as she read what Brian had left to her.


I, Brian Jonathan Wilberg don't think that this is a very good will, but I wan to leave everything to my younger sister, Reece Magnitha Wilberg. I leave the house and restaurant and my car to her. All my money too.
Like I said, everything to my younger sister.


At the bottom was a bunch of small numbers and below that it said: These numbers are to my bank account in case you need some money. There is over what you probably need, but in case you do, I thought this would help you. I will always be looking out for you even in death.
Love you sis; Brian

"Yeah, that wasn't a very good will, but at least you know he had one to give you. Right, Reece?" Griffen asked, looking at Reece who wouldn't look up from the will. "Reece?"
"Huh?" Reece asked, snapping out of it.
"Never mind. You okay?" He asked.
"I don't know. I don't know what to say. Brian was right, it wasn't a very good will and I don't think that I will need the money."
"Why not?"
Reece shrugged, taking another look at the will. "You know, it seems like Brian knew he was going to die. Look here, it says: I will always be looking out for you even in death. He couldn't have written this as he was dead, so do you think he knew he was going to die?" Reece asked.
"I don't know, it could be possible. But we really should be getting back to your house right?" Griffen replied, looking behind him.
"Hold on," Reece said, walking up to her brother, who looked so real. She reached out and touched his wrist, and gasped when her hand didn't go through her. "Not possible!" she whispered.
Brian shrugged and held his arms out for her to hug her. Reece embraced him in a hug. Whenever she had hugged Brian when he was still alive, he always had a certain smell to his clothes, and now hugging him, there was no smell to him.
Brian, still hugging her, leaned to her ear and whispered something that only Reece could hear. She let go and saw a single tear drop on his cheek and she wiped it off right before he disappeared.
"What was that? An air hug?" Griffen asked, creeped from seeing her hug nothing.
Reece turned to him, shocked. "I just hugged him. And it felt real. Like he was actually here."
"What did he say?" Griffen asked.
"Nothing," Reece said, still trying to grasp what he had told her.
"Okay, lets go, I'm getting creeped out here."
"Have you ever noticed that Brian always comes when we need him the most?" Reece said out loud to mostly herself.
"Not really."
"I wonder what that old scroll was all about when we were back at the shack."
"I don't know, but I couldn't read it, that's for sure. Maybe the people that I am going to find and ask them to help us can tell us."
"Yeah, maybe. Lets go," Reece said, grabbing a coat that was dusty, sitting on the back of the couch.
Griffen turned to walk out the door, Reece following him.


{~Chapter four~}


Reece and Griffen were heading to Reece's house on her street when she got a feeling of being followed. The last time that happened, her brother died.
"Griffen, something's not right," Reece said, grabbing his arm so tight, Griffen lost feeling in his arm down to his hand.
"What? How can you tell?" Griffen asked, trying to loosen her grip, but she held it.
"I just feel like someone is watching us, and the last time that I had that feeling, my brother died."
Griffen's heart skipped a beat as she said that. Griffen knew that she just didn't freak out for nothing, and this had to be something.
"Like what do you mean, following you?"
"You know that feeling when someone is looking at you, but you can't see them, well I have that feeling right now." Griffen looked around, but didn't see anything out of the ordinary.
"I don't see anything," Griffen said, still looking around.
"I really don't want anyone else to die," Reece whispered.
"I don't either, and I really can't see anything out of the ordinary, Reece. I think you might be over reacting."
Reece stopped in the middle of the street and looked at Griffen. "What? Nothing out of the ordinary? I know you haven't known me long, but I can surely tell you that something is wrong!"
"Okay, if you say so," Griffen said, giving up the argument that was nothing.
"Just keep your eyes and ears peeled, okay?" Reece asked.
"Sure," Griffen said, doing as she had asked.
Reece looked up the whole time on the way to her house and she almost tripped over a tree root, so she stopped just for a second underneath a tree.
"Look out!" Griffen yelled, throwing a fireball into the tree.
"What are you doing?" Reece said. "That tree has been there for over a hundred years!"
"There is a Skincrawler. I think that the tree would rather have it set on fire than have a Skincrawler up there!" Griffen said, jumping onto a really low branch, then another and another until her reached the top, where the fire had spread everywhere.
"I can't see any-" Reece was cut off by a scream that escaped her mouth when she saw three Skincrawlers in front of her.
"Reece? You okay?" Griffen yelled down to her, followed by a grunt and what sounded like a punch.
"Umm..." Reece tried to say, but she stopped and backed up when one of the Skincrawlers took a step towards her.
"Hello, little piggy. We are not here to kill you. We want to talk to you," one of them said, making the other two smile, showing their four rows of teeth and oversized gums.
"W-what do you want?" Reece stuttered, still backing up.
"We want to know something," the middle one said
"What do you want to know?" Reece asked.
"Where is your parents, Princess?"
"They died in a plane accident two years ago," Reece whispered, grabbing a branch from the tree so she wouldn't fall over.
"Reece?!" Griffen yelled to her.
Reece didn't look up, but she called to him. "What? I'm talking!"
"To who?" Griffen asked.
"Don't answer him, okay, Princess?" the middle one said.
"Quite calling me princess," Reece hissed, remembering what Brian had whispered in her ear.
"We want to know where your real parents are, Princess," he hissed, ignoring what Reece had said.
"I don't know! Just leave me alone!" Reece said, breaking the branch she was holding. She ran up to Skincrawler that she was talking to and whacked him in the face with the branch. She watched the force
