Bump in the Night [invite] Imperial Ink And MidnightMyth

[MidnightMyth]

As she walked past and towards the curtains i snarled quietly. I hated when people came in and acted like she owned the place, I hated the fact more than being trapped in this state of being and mind. Oh so she wants to play does she? I thought to myself and crossed in front of a single ray of sun casting a quick shadow over the floor in the open living room. "Then let's play" I said in a ghostly whisper that was filled with anger. Then using the energy i possessed with one wave of my hand the curtains flew shut and the room was dark once more.

[gah! so short! D: if you want me to i can lengthen it xD]

(Don't worry your post fine *Nods*)
(I hope mine is okay, cause Kite is being a bit of spazz as of late)

A shadow darted effortlessly past the window before tugging the curtains closed once again. This surprised the little brown haired girl and instinctively she spun round on her heel to face the closed curtains. She cocked her head in confusion, “That’s very creepy…Oh well, I can’t return empty handed, I better make due with the dark” she said pouting slightly. Kite remained cheerful, She had a feeling that someone was in the room with her, yet her sight caught no sign of life or movement. She stepped away from the curtains, before exiting the entrance room and slowly making her way towards a study. Kite hummed to herself as she did so, yet another nursery rhythm for those was the only songs that had ever calmed her. She beamed brightly as she entered the study, her hand politely knocking against the half opened door as she entered as to notify her entrance. She peeked inside, “Umm…Hello?, Is anyone there?” she asked curiously.

[lol alrighty xD]

Since i saw she wasnt going away i figured might as well make my presence known. What's the use of hiding now. I gathered up all the energy i could within the study, since that seemed like the 'vortex' i guess you could call it where everything entered and left. Seeing as though i could do neither, I just got all my energy from there. As the energy gathered the windows slowly frosted up from the edges, mostly at the corners. The room became ice cold, as she breathed i watched her breath turn to steam, Then i brought my ghostly image in front of her. "What do you want?" I growled becoming visible to her, though the image faded in and out like a flickering candle

(Sorry I went away for the weekend, but I'm back now)

As kite entered the study, she felt a icy wave of air blow over he small body. She felt her hair stand on end as a shiver of Goosebumps embedded into her tanned skin. Her feline-like eyes darted towards the windows, watching them in slight amusement as they frosted from the corners towards the centre.
The brown haired girl was about to step deeper into the office, but she found her path blocked. A pale figure suddenly stood before her, his features aggressive, and for good reason. Kite was in a ghost’s home, it’s resting place…. a place in which she did not belong, though whether this bother her much was yet to be seen.
The girl stared up at the figure, her yellow eyes wide with surprise as she examined him; he was tall, far taller than her….. he held handsome features; dark brown hair very similar to hers… but something else had caught her attention and she drew closer to him in order to get a better look. This boy… he held the most amazing set of eyes, ultramarine blue in colour, yet they looked slightly out of place on his fading body. Kite opened her mouth to say something, but was cut off as the figure broke into an aggressive growl, “What do you want?”
Kite felt instinctive fear clutch her belly as her mind told her to run, yet strangely enough the little girl remained where she was. She moved her arm towards the phantom, allowing her hand to pass right through him, “Your quite strange for a ghost you know? I always had this idea that they were something more animalistic, but your most certainly human and to top it off a rather handsome one too, I applaud that!......Oh you asked what I wanted, sorry sometimes my mind runs away with my mouth, My name is Kite by the way, it’s nice to meet you….Um.. what I’m here for..Hmmmm let me think, I’m…errrrr.. Oh Yes!, I’m supposed to take a photo of the phantom living in this house, you see there is a legend about a boy who died here and they say his ghost still haunts the place, I feel kinda bad for him and when my classmates dared me to come here, I came to meet the ghost” She finished quickly.
Kite beamed rather excitedly at the boy, perhaps she hadn’t put her puzzle pieces together yet and realized that the ghost before her was in fact the one from the story.

[lol i had gone away for the weekend too xD]

I watched her as she rambled on. Not really bothered by her hand going through me. I couldnt feel it, her comments lightened the mood but only a sliver, though just as quick as it was there it was gone when she told me why she was here. "Oh, so now im just a freak exhibit to the world huh? Like this is some zoo and I'm the star attraction.?" I hissed and advanced towards her slightly but remained still. I backed off seeing how she showed sympathy for me, my aggression backed off too, "Listen, im sorry I'm so angry towards you, its just over the years...I've been treated like an animal, and that is just the first thing I resort to. Now i think that anyone that steps in this house is out to make fun of me, or throw things at me. Its hard to trust anyone anymore" I sighed still in a slight angry tone. "And yeah, im the boy that died here, ive been trapped between these two worlds because i gave my life for someone, yet i was killed in cold blood. So apparently my 'angel' or who ever decided if i proved myself the better person again, i have a chance at being human again."

Kite bounced backwards at the ghost’s sudden aggressive outburst, she stared a little tearfully up at him hoping he’d forgive her for being so outright rude.
She listened to him closely as his tone softened a little,"Listen, im sorry I'm so angry towards you, its just over the years...I've been treated like an animal, and that is just the first thing I resort to. Now i think that anyone that steps in this house is out to make fun of me, or throw things at me. Its hard to trust anyone anymore
Kite felt sympathy well up inside her as she gazed with large child-like eyes up towards the elder boy, she hadn’t ever had any hardship in her life and therefore found her self unable to empathize, however she knew how it felt to be alone and sometimes that was enough to corrode any heart.
Kite felt the need to say something, yet her mouth remained closed as the ghost once spoke once again, saving her from further shame, "And yeah, im the boy that died here, ive been trapped between these two worlds because i gave my life for someone, yet i was killed in cold blood. So apparently my 'angel' or who ever decided if i proved myself the better person again, i have a chance at being human again."

Kite thought this over…h…he had been murdered, she knew that from the legend, yet this time round she felt actual sorrow, her eyes water slightly but she pushed them aside with another odd thought….He said could still be saved, surely she could help him in someway, Not that she knew how, but she would try.
The little girl smiled up at the teen, “I’m really sorry….I feel quite terrible, I guess I didn’t think about how you would feel….but it’s strange, in a way I’m kinda glad my class mates dared me to come here...I mean I got to meet you after all.” She beamed up cheerfully, her feline gaze gaining energy once again. “Ah!...I forgot to introduce myself” she blushed. “My name is Kite…Like the flying kind of kite, Nhaa I’ve never really flown a Kite before, my butler Crawford would loose it with me if I got it suck in a high tree or on any power lines” she smiled before nodding her dainty little head.

As she began to apologize, I could tell by the energy she gave off she was being brutally honest, and she really meant what she had said. I sat down on the chair and invited her to sit with me. "I promise i dont bite" I said with a chuckle that was so faint it was almost like it wasnt there. "Im sure you know me, little miss Kite" I said with a playful tone. This was how I was when i warmed up to someone, though it wasnt so quick about happening. For the first time in what seemed like forever a smile hit my ghostly face, and this smile was so friendly it was alien to my facial muscles. "What made them dare you in the first place and why did you do it?" I asked, "Im not trying to interrogate you or anything, I just feel like there is something behind you coming here." I said with a shrug and looked over at her. "I mean was it for money or something? I'm sure you hear the rumors from others about how 'people go in and never come out' right? They twist the words like a pretzel huh? Make me seem like the bad guy"

[Imperial Ink]

Kite smiled appreciatively as the boy invited her to sit with him. She was of course completely at his mercy if anything happened, though to Kite this didn’t really matter all that much. She felt she could trust him and to her that was enough.
She giggled at his soft words, “Don’t worry, I know you wont” she teased cheerfully. Kite straighten herself before sitting quietly at the elder teen’s side, listening to his playful words. She felt her smile melt as she pondered thoughtfully over the legend….his name was Jake.

Jake spoke once again, this time asking her a question, his tone held nothing serious, just simple curiosity. Kite ran her tanned hand through her short hair as she thought over the dare, “Well...it wasn’t for money, I don’t really need anything materialistic” she blushed thinking over the rather foolish reason she had for entering such a supposedly dangerous place, “I suppose I wanted my classmates to be my real friends, not that their not my friends….it’s just I feel like I’m missing something…surely a friend was more than someone who simply sits next to you or asks you for favours when they needed it.”
Kite became quite, she was young, very young for her age. She knew no hardship and therefore hadn’t grown emotionally, she was also easy to manipulate.
The girl stretched her arms, her amber eyes filling with energy once again, “Well you don’t have to worry about them anymore” she spoke diligently. “We’re friends now, so I’m going to do my best to look out for you” she spoke with a wink in her eye.

The sudden crash of glass breaking filled her sensitive ears and breaking the warm moment between the two. Kite leapt up suddenly, unsure of what had just happened. Kite turned her gaze curiously towards Jake, “What was that?”

[MidnightMyth]

I smiled at her and spoke again. "Thanks, you're the first i can actually trust." I said with a gentle smile. And as we sat there for a while i felt the air get thicker, and it wasnt from me. Thats when I heard the glass shatter in a distant room. Then she spoke again What was that was the next thing that filled my ears. "I dont know, we'd better go check" I said and stood starting my way towards the door of the studio, I looked back at her and motioned for her to follow.

Kite nodded before loyally padding to Jake’s side as both exited the study. Another smash of sound flooded the house, the situation sounded quite serious. Kite stepped silently through the corridor, her dainty footsteps replicating the rehearsed ballet steps she had practised.
She followed the noise to its source; it seemed to be coming from the drawing room. She pressed herself against the wall of the corridor, her feline face cautiously peeking into the room. Her amber eyes widened, it seemed like a break in. Her innocent eyes traced the figures of four darkly dressed men as they wandered indifferently across the room. Their boots clattering against the wooden floors as they grunted orders to each other while placing anything valuable into their bags.
Kite wrinkled up her nose in disgust, she turned to Jake obviously upset about what they were doing. She opened her mouth to speak, but before she could do so, a large scarred hand latched around her wrist. Kite spun around to face the owner of hand; she felt fear fill her as she faced one of the men. He was huge compared to her and from the way he was eyeing she could tell she was in trouble.
Kite attempted to pull away, but the man held her firmly in his tight grip. She yelped painfully before shouting at him, “Your hurting me!...Let go!”
