The Haunted (1x1 RP DO NOT POST)

[Lady Mekka]

"How? Lawrence didn't kill you too, did he?" Victoria asked, worried.
~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~
"Maybe... Or it could be a ruse to get us exactly where they want us." Ana said, her paranoid mind working overtime. There were so many different reasons that they could be refusing to come up here.
"What if they can't come up here for some reason?"

[ika;]

"They're dead...I don't think they're that smart." He laughed hollowly. In spite of the situation, Jared was always laughing. "That might be a reason." He agreed, wondering if there was some sort of barrier to them.
----
Riley shook his head. Suddenly ashamed, he changed the subject. "You've been here all this time and I haven't..." He trailed off miserably.

[Lady Mekka]

Victoria stroked Riley's head, shushing him softly.
"It's as much my fault as it is yours." she said, hugging his head tenderly. "I've missed you so much."
~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~
Ana pursed her lips, thinking.
"Well, I guess it couldn't hurt to go see what's keeping them." she said, curiosity getting the best of her.

[ika;]

Jared nodded sagely, wondering what on earth it was that was stopping them.
----
Riley curled one pink tongue around her wrist, sighing contently in her embrace. "I've missed you too." He told her quietly, lifting his tail a notch higher.

[Lady Mekka]

Ana walked down the stairs, peering around the corner to see... Nothing. (They're ghosts XD) She turned around to face Jared.
"We can't see them, remember? I have no clue what's going on here." she was exasperated.
~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~
Victoria saw the kids out of the corner of her eye but she paid them no heed.
"Well, what are we going to do now?" she asked, wondering how their afterlife was going to pan out now that they knew that the other was around.

[ika;]

Jared followed her out, linking his arm through hers. "I wonder where they are. Why didn't they follow us?" He frowned again, an unusual thing for him to do- but the current situation called for some seriousness.
----
Riley wrinkled his muzzle as he spotted the humans. At Victoria's voice, a flood of thoughts cascaded through his mind. What would they do? One thing was for sure though, he'd have a happy afterlife if he managed to stay with Victoria. It was all he wanted during life, and that hadn't changed now he was dead.

[Lady Mekka]

Ana blinked hard, her contacts were getting dry.
"I don't know. Maybe they had urgent ghost business to deal with?" Ana said, smiling wryly at her joke.
~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~
"Maybe..." Victoria said, standing up slowly. "Maybe we can move on?" She was hopeful that she would make it to the other side.

[ika;]

Jared laughed, "You never know, girl." He grinned at her, feeling a fraction more relaxed.
----
Riley frowned. He'd never considered this as a possibility before, but now so much had changed, and he found himself liking it. "I haven't thought about it before...Do you think we could?" He asked her sincerely, switching one ear forwards.

[Lady Mekka]

"I don't know." Victoria said, looking around. "How exactly would one go about 'moving on', anyways?"
~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~
"Blast it." Ana muttered, having to take out her contacts. "I've had them in too long, they're irritating my cornea. Great, now I'm blind." She blinked a few times, adjusting to the blurriness that the world took on when she saw not one figure, but three.
"Jared!" She grabbed his arm with her free hand. "Jared, I think I can see them!"

(Too corny, mayhap?)

[ika;]

Jared jumped, caught off guard by her startled tone. He moved nearer to her. "Where are they?" He spoke quickly in his own excitement, peering past her but seeing nothing but dust and broken glass.
----
Riley blinked wearily, realizing that he indeed had no idea how to go about it. "I...I don't know." He admitted after a long pause of uncertainty. "What do you think?"
