Eagle Crest Hallows [3]

Grayson

I walk up to Riley and take her hand, studying the guy. His aura is so familiar...

"You said your name is Conner?" I ask.

He nods, asking me the same questions he asked Riley.

"Grayson," I say, "And I might know you. Depends on who's occupying the place your soul is supposed to be in..."

He sends me a puzzled look before glancing down at himself.

Riley

I study the guy. "How do I look familiar?" I ask, feeling stalked.

Conner

I shrug, almost telling them about the voice in my head.

"I don't know. I get feelings about people and that's what I feel around you two," I say, "S'weird. I'm going to leave now. Probably went too far with this."

I turn to leave before a flash of images pass before my eyes.

Don't...leave. Please. Not until I figure this out, the voice says.

Riley

...feelings?

I squeeze Gray's hand before panicking.

God please help me, god just please help me....

Grayson

I wrap an arm around Riley and kiss the top of her head to calm her. He turns around and looks at us, a certain look in his eyes that reminds me of that ghost...

Riley

He turns around and looks at us again. I sigh and bury my head in Gray's neck, confused.

Grayson

"You're so pure," I tilt my head to the side at the guy, "Your life just started now, didn't it?"

His eyes widen, then cloud with confusion.

"Uh...."

"Do you have another soul inside you?" I ask.

"Creeper,"he says before bolting off like a spaz.

I sigh before looking back at Riley.

Conner

I bolt off and hide in the bushes, listening. The voice inside my head screams with excitement that someone can see him or feel him or I don't even know....

Riley

My eyes shrink. Everything around me stops. I hate having these moments. Where it seems like everythings frozen in time. I stop blinking and just stare at any random thing until I snap out of it. I keep thinking while I'm in this trance.

...Is it dad? No. He's left. Mom? No. She's haunting Brooklyn inside. The only one left it...ALYX.

Grayson

I hold Riley tighter, realizing she's going through something. The kid hides somewhere and stays.

"You alright?" I whisper in Riley's ear.

Riley

"You Alright?" I hear someone whisper in my ear and I jump, snapping out of it. "Uh yeah. Just thinking," I say, plopping down infront of a tree.

Grayson

I follow her and sit at her side, tickling her cheek with one of my wings again.

"What's wrong?" I ask, "What are you thinking about?"

Riley

I shake my head, giggling at his wing tickling my cheek. "It's nothing. Trust me," I say, looking up at him.

Grayson

I flash a smile and nod, tucking my wings in and laying down with my head in her lap. Closing my eyes, I take a deep breath and press my ear against her stomach, relieved when I don't hear anything.

Thank God. I think I'd haunt myself if there was something in there...

Riley

I smile at him and brush my thumb against his cheek. "You. Are. So. Cute," I whispered, smiling wider.

Grayson

I smile and glance up at her.

"But you're beautiful," I whisper, reaching up and setting my hand against the side of her face.
