Lia shook her head. "I don't hear anything,"
Jace held a hand up and said, "Wait. I heard that. Say it again."
Lia shook her head. "I don't hear anything,"
Jace held a hand up and said, "Wait. I heard that. Say it again."
Ella looked up. "JACE!" she shouted.
"Ella? I can hear her voice… wait a minute… Ella? Are you a ghost?" Jace whispered, confused.
"Yes, I am. I think. I'm not sure."
Griffin’s eyes were round as saucers. He spun around, trying to pin point the source of her voice. “Ella?”
She stiffened. "Griffin?" She looked over at him. "I'm over by Eli." She willed herself to become visible, at least a little bit.
Griffin stood, frozen to the spot. He had never felt so much pain in all his life. He took shaky step forward. “Is— Is it really you?”
Her blood ran cold. Or at least, it felt like it. She didn't think she had any blood. "Yeah," she whispered.
(Sorry!)
Griffin swallowed, reaching out tentatively to touch her, but his hand went right though.
Ella's face fell. "I'm sorry," she said painfully.
"But how? How is this happening? I mean, I believed in ghosts but I'd never thought that I would see one personally. Ella, how are you doing it?" Lia frowned.
Ella shrugged. "I don't really know. I just woke up and was back here. It feels weird, like something's pulling me back, and you guys are very… white. And pale."
Lia only heard half of that. "I can't even see you. I just see a small glimmer."
She focused harder, forcing her image to clear and sharpen. "Better?"
"A little. This is just… so weird." Lia said.
Ella snorted. "You're telling me. I floated past my dead body."
"Okay, guys, we need to focus. Ella, do you know what's happening?" Jace asked. He still thought this was weird, talking to a ghost, but he pushed that thought away in order to get this mystery solved.
"No idea. I did see some other ghosts where I came from though."
"Well, those are probably the ghosts of our short-lived friends," Jace said flatly. "The four police that were called here have been murdered. We don't know how, or who did it. Can you help us?"
She thought about it. "Probably. I'm not sure if I'm able to go back and forth between that place and here willingly, though."
Eli nodded along with the conversation. Ana, however, threw her hands up in the air. "Can someone please explain what's going on?!" (she hasn't seen Ella yet)
Leo looked at Ana. "Ella's here," he said slowly.
Ana gasped, finally noticing the pale figure near them. Her voice lowered to a whisper. "Wait…really?" She nudged Eli. "Why didn't you tell me?" Ana signed to him. Eli responded with a shrug.
Ella bashfully waved at Ana.
Ana waved back, completely on board with the whole ghost thing.
