I rolled my eyes at him, and he laughed. “Back when we played truth or dare, you said you’ve seen ghosts that know me.” “A ghost,” He corrected, “Just one. And no, I will not tell you who they are or what they had to say.” “But—” His eyes flicked up, meeting my own. “The dead rarely make sense. Most of the time they’re confused, reliving the days leading up to their deaths. Theres a reason we’re cut off from them. I’m just the unfortunate exception.”

“If I remember correctly, you forgot the water because you were on the phone with Evangeline and you were watching that drama show of yours. The one with the doppelgänger’s and those British Vampires.” “It was the season finale.” I said, exasperated. Seriously, did none of these men get it? Pausing, I scowled at him. “Wait, a second. The British Vampires didn’t even come in until the next season. I never watched that one around you.” Ghost’s brows shot up. “The fuck? Caius likes Vamp chick-flicks?” I gasped and pointed at him. “You watched it! No way. What team are you on? Vampire or Werewolf? Damon or Stefan?”

A word echoed in my mind. “Okay.” I let out a long sigh of relief. I felt like a hero who had successfully negotiated a truce. I was probably the first person in history to get a ghost to pay up. From that day on, Nathaniel genuinely started cutting back on using utilities. The TV stopped turning on by itself in the middle of the night. Our dinners were downgraded from a full-course meal to just a couple of simple dishes. Even though the meals were simpler, they still tasted as delicious as ever.

“I imagine it might seem that way to you and me, but they have different beliefs. Let’s just give the fella a chance. If this place is really haunted, he’s the one to help us. Besides, it would me mighty rude of us to have him come here and then turn him away.” Melody’s lower lip protruded forward as she contemplated his words. “You said it was haunted. Now you say if it is haunted. Which is it?” “I don’t rightly know for sure. I’m not an expert with ghosts.” Adam grabbed the coffee pot and a cup. “I say we give the guy a chance. Lord knows, I’m not worth a salt when it comes to spirits.” Melody looked at her father with raised brow. “Do you think it’s haunted too, father?”

Suddenly, Adrian realized that these individuals indeed harbored ulterior motives. Adrian expanded his awareness, and the sight before him left him speechless. The entire hall was now teeming with an array of ghosts and monsters. Among them were towering old men with only one eye, lanterns swaying on a single leg, malformed boys with just one limb each, women clad in white exuding a bone-chilling aura, and skeletal figures draped in human skin...

It wasn’t like he was going to be stepping into any big role right away like me. His old man goes by “Ghost” and I hope he’ll be like him. Ghost is kind of Grouch’s right hand. While I’m the enforcer, the one with the most flies, Ghost is usually the one who gets the guys that come into the basement. You’ll never see him coming until he’s putting zip ties on your wrists and a bag over your head. He’s a huge dude but he’s light footed and sneaky. Professional stalker is the term I use.

"But. . . but. . ." "Seriously, there's no such thing as ghosts, or witches, or witch hunters," Gina raged, reaching her limits of patience. "Those are just make-believe scary stories. Lame ones for that matter and if you're so scared by a story told by a sick, dumb girl then you don't deserve to be in the vampire team." "Okay, sheesh! There's no need to get all snappy," Katie said, stepping forward before she turned to the others. "Come on, guys. Let's get this done with."

She'd lectured Carlie at length about the mystical tribe and their bride quests. Supposedly, the Moon Ghosts could change themselves into jaguars, and using their stealth, stole girls as brides, leaving behind riches in their place. It would make a great movie, but Carlie was a realist. "Who are you and what do you want?" she asked, not expecting an answer. And she didn't technically get one, unless the little voice in her head counted. But it only said four words. To make you ours. It was the visual afterward, though, that sucked the breath right out of her. Panting, sweaty, limbs sliding over limbs, three bodies intertwined.

I tried to calm her down. "I think it was villain X, Autumn. I think it was him. It has to be him!" She gave me a firm nod and licked her lips nervously. "Nah, I still think it was Casper. Who is Villain X anyway? The one from the X-files? Aliens are not real though ghosts pretty much are. I saw one when I was a kid, it did not look as cute as Casper but it was a ghost. I am sure of it. They can not get past a salt line you know, so I guess we should have salt in hand just in case the vengeful spirit is—"

“Yeah, I guess. I just thought we could use the ghost hunters as advertising.” “I have to go look. But no, it’s cute they think we are worthy of this. Because we don’t have a typical haunting.” “Well, we’ll see I mean people see them and hear them sometimes.” “But we rarely have doors opening or closing, nor do our guests get scratched, and we definitely have guests screaming in fear.” That’s when noises from the lobby hit them. Someone wasn’t happy. “I think we may have said something too soon.”
