Eagle Crest Hallows [3]

Brooklyn

A house blows up right next to us and I cover my face from the fire, Rayah unharmed. Rayah furiously walks or rather speeds over to the boys and crosses her arms.

"What the HELL is your problem?!" She says. I walk next to her, scared that her anger might flare up.

Crave

I almost chuckle. The ghost is angry.

"He's an idiot, forgive him," Shadow says, "We'll be on our way."

He helps me up and the disk goes off again, demolishing the house across the street. Frustrated and annoyed, Shadow runs off and disappears with it. When he comes back, the disk is gone. I shake my head and finger my mask, the plastic bothering me.

Brooklyn

Another house blows up and Rayah almost explodes before calming herself and taking a deep breath.

"Still a 7/10." She mutters, drifting away.

Crave

A seven out of ten?

I shake my head again, confused out of my mind, and glance at Shadow, who's studying the two.

"Uh, we're just gonna go now," he pulls me along.

We disappear once we're out of view.

Brooklyn

I shake my head at him and Rayah comes back into me.

I want my Jacceee... she complains.

Shut up, Rayah. He'll come soon.

JACCEEE...

I facepalm myself and just start walking home. "Shut up."

She comes out of me again and floats up into a tree and keeps crying the same thing. "Jaccee..."

I sigh and look up at her. She's haunting.

"Rayah stop haunting your gonna creep people out!" I say, glancing around.

"JACEEE!" She mutters again.

I just shake my head and sit at the bottom of the tree, waiting for her.

"If I die young
Bury me in sight
Lay me down on a bed of roses..."

She starts singing and I facepalm myself, taking a deep breath.

Alyx's Spirit

I don't know why, since I know Jamie and Jace aren't here, but I end up before the house again. I want to see the twins, see how they're doing, but know that Riley at least would jump out of her skin and crawl up the wall. So I walk to Rayah's ghost and Brooklyn instead.

"Crying, singing... Doesn't matter what you do," I say, "He'll be back when he's back. Something must have come up for him to have left so suddenly."

Brooklyn

Rayah just glares at him. "I am not crying. I am haunting." She says.

"Jaccee..." She mutters again and closes her eyes.

"Send me away with the words of a love song..."

I get slightly creeped with Rayah's haunting and look at Alyx's spirit. "What is the meaning of haunting anyway?"

Alyx's Spirit

I look to Brooklyn, expressionless.

"To cause an emotion close to what you're feeling now," I say, "To creep out people. I would personally use it for revenge against wrong doings, but she seems pretty okay with sobbing for her lost husband...who's coming back."

I shake my head, looking at Rayah again.

Brooklyn

I look at Rayah. "Dude. Your creeping me out."

" If I die young, bury me in satin
Lay me down on a, bed of roses
Sink me in the river, at dawn
Send me away with the words of a love song..."

"RAYAH!" I scream and she starts muttering his name again, looking at her hands.

"C'mon. Seriously?" I ask annoyed. She stops and looks at me for a second before continuing.

Alyx's Spirit

Well...this was a complete waste of my afterlife.

I look at Brooklyn again and sigh.

"Can I see Logan and Riley?" I ask, "They don't have to see me, but it's been a while since I've seen them through my own eyes."

Brooklyn

I nod, "Riley is uptairs with Greyson. Logan is somewhere," I say, trying to shut Rayah up.

Alyx's Spirit

"Grayson?" I ask, confused.

She's upstairs...with a guy. Hell no.

Brooklyn

I nod. "Grayson. Her boyfriend," I clarify, Rayah finally stopping for almost a minute.

Alyx's Spirit

Hell no.

I float into the house and head up the stairs, dreading going into that bedroom.

Grayson

I hold Riley close, kissing her forehead, and ignore the feeling of someone coming. I wrap my wings around us and smile, watching her sleep.

Brooklyn

I sigh and watch him leave, trying to get Rayah to come down from the tree.

Riley

I feel Gray's wings wrap around us and I flash a smile, cuddling against him.
