Inside, one line glowed in Camela’s handwriting: “This next letter will be my last.” Suddenly, the candle on the desk ignited by itself—revealing a shadow standing right behind him. In the darkness stood the ghost, tall and thin, his face as pale as paper with eyes like ink stains. His long fingers glided over the letters. “Do you know what these are, fox?” the ghost whispered. “Unsent cries. Desperate pleas that never left the cage. Every word she wrote was captured by me. I held onto them because you never did.”

“What did you say?” “It was a code. 18-L-3-20,” I recited from memory. “I found the book in your library. Shakespeare. On the page the code led to, there was a pinprick, a tiny hole through a single word.” I took a shaky breath, finally giving the ghost a name. “The word was ‘betrayal’.”

Cruz tightened his grip on our daughter, holding her so close I thought he might break in half if anyone tried to pull her away. Across the wide floor, Ghost stood still, surrounded by armed men. His voice cut through the silence, coldly. “You’ve come far, Cruz. Further than I expected.” “Cut the speeches,” Cruz growled, his jaw hard. “You want me? Here I am.” Ghost tilted his head slightly. “Bold. But I don’t just want you.” His masked face shifted toward the small bundle in Cruz’s arms. “I want her.”

A tray of luxury I didn’t ask for. I stepped forward, snatched the dress, and turned to the maid. “Tell Elijah…” I paused, cracking a grin. “…the Ghost Knife doesn’t go anywhere without her blades.” ---

He wasn’t summoning beasts. He was dragging the in-between into the now. Cracks tore open in the sky. The air turned sharp, cold, wrong. Ghosts spilled through the veil—wolves, twisted and lost, turned half-mad by unfinished lives. Not just spirits. These were memories that had forgotten they’d died. They surged toward me. I roared, driving my dagger into the ground. A ring of light exploded outward. The ghosts wailed, some vanishing instantly, others dragged back into their graves by unseen hands.

His eyes lingered on the empty space across the room, as if expecting someone to fill it. Two souls, awake in the dark. Both haunted. Both scarred. Both carrying shadows they didn’t yet understand. And neither knew how deeply their ghosts were already intertwined. ______________

Alice had always been a thorn between us—sharp, immovable, impossible to ignore or remove. I looked at Grayson now and wondered: if he knew I was dead, would he feel relieved that he was finally free of me? Grayson's phone rang. He answered it, not bothering to put it on speaker. I drifted closer, curious. Could it be someone calling to report my death? I studied his face intently, waiting to see his reaction when he learned I was gone. But when I glanced at the screen, I froze. The caller ID displayed my name. The voice that came through the line was unmistakably mine.

“I’m no genius, but I’m pretty sure even I know that code daddy dearest was talking in was referring to us.” Ghost scoffed, then snorted, then shook his head incredulously. “Who’s who then?” “Isn’t it obvious?” Knight clicked his teeth. “You’re the orchids. He said they’re commonly used in funerals. Funerals happen in graveyards, which is commonly where ghosts are found.” He shot a finger gun at Ghost. “Fire lily is Damon, clearly. I’m the moonflowers.” Shadows snaked across the floor, rolling over the wood like a dark fog. He gestured down at the sea of darkness. “Duh.

Was she dead? All this explains why the bus didn't stop, people didn't reply to her when she waved. They couldn't see her, that was why she was found in the cemetery. Austin stared at her and took a step back, this revelation alone almost blew up his mind. She was with a Ghost? Why can he see a ghost?
