Lysander nodded along to her explanation. So she used to be human. He wondered how a human became a grim reaper but he didn't ask the girl that. " That makes a lot a sense you definitely look more professional." He said as they reached the janitor's closet. Lysander could see Lionel just floating around organizing all the supplies. Lysander watched the reape open up a portal and he watched Lionel eagerly walk inside of it. The old janitor had been more than ready to move on. "Goodbye Lionel." Said Lysander soflty he was going to miss Lionel. Lysander had to say he was impressed by the way the reaper had dealt with the situation. Despite the fact that her words had been emotionless and empty. She was going to have to try harder because not all ghosts would be as easy as Lionel to deal with. "Good job I know Lionel was ready to depart from this world."

"I don't know what you're talking about. I would never hide a ghost from you." Lied Lysander easily he wasn't giving up Erica without a fight. "The staff room has a bunch of dead teachers unwilling to move on from their jobs and their unfinished business with students.It's down the hall from here." Said Lysa Derek unfazed as he led the way out of the closet and to the staff room.

"You look like both to me." Lysander muttered as he walked behind her. Lysander knew she was right about him preventing the inevitable. Which is why he didn't lie or comment. Years of lying about not being able to see ghosts to various therapists and psychologists had turned Lysander into a really good liar. But he hated lying and tried to avoid it as much as it was possible for someon like him to do. Once inside the room Lysander leaned against the wall and listened to the reaper's speech. There was a total of 7 teachers in the room and they were all ready to go to heaven. Lysander frowned when the reaper closed the portal and he realized there was something wrong.When she came up to him and led him a way from the wandering ears of the ghosts Lysander's eyes widened in shock at what he was hearing. Of course his messed up school had hired a serial killer as a teacher. Lysander listened carefully to the reaper's instructions and nodded. "I'll try my best." He told her as they went back into the room. He had never tested his powers like this before and a part of him was afraid that he would fail. Taking a deep breath he approached the seven ghosts and held out his hands. "Now don't be alarmed but in order to help you I just need to touch you." Said Lysander calmy.

Two out of the seven ghosts were females and since he was looking for a Steven they were automatically excluded. Lysander approached the first male teacher who was a large well built gym teacher. Lysander placed his hand on the man and closed his eyes. He kept them closed for a moment as he let himself feel the ghosts energy. After a moment his eyes flung open and instead of their usual dark color they were a bright dazzling blue. Lysander could suddenly see everything that the ghost had experienced in his life. He had been a kind gentle man who had cared greatly for his students and family and had enevr hurt a soul. He had died in a school shooting years ago while protecting a kid. Lysander let go of the man and moved on to the next who was a science teacher. He went through three men who had all been decent human beings and good teachers. The fourth man he touched was a small chubby man with a boyish face. Lysander touched him and he could see and feel all the horrible emotions and things this man had done. He had prayed on his female students and Lysander had discivered his name. It was Steven. Shaking slightly Lysander moved on to the last man and even touched the two women as not to wave an suspicion. When he had touched Steven he had felt nothing but pure evil and had seen so many young girls being killed. That was not something he ever wanted to experience. Once he had let go of the last ghost he walked back to the reaper. He was suddenly fearing very tired and the dark feelings he had felt from Steven were still lingering. Lysander leaned down and whispered into her ear."The man you are looking for is about your height,chubby with a baby face and quiet demeanor. He has blonde hair and blue eyes and he is standing near the couch. Said Lysander quietly as he pointed in Steven's direction. He just wanted to go home. He was exhausted from all that touching.

Lysander stood on the other half of the room mesmerised as he watched every move the grim reaper made. So far he had only seen the portal to heaven and when she opened the portal to hell he couldn't stop looking it. For a moment it looked like the reaper was a goner after the hell portal closed but obviously she could make more portals. When she came out through another portal Lysander approached her a gave her a faint smile. That had been one of the most badass things he had ever seen. The reaper had been right maybe he did let appearances too him and that was something he was going to need to work on if he was going to be working with her.The reaper didn't look like she had lived for hundreds of years but Lysander could sense that her spirit was much older than her appearance."That was one of the most badass things ever. I promise never to underestimate you or let appearances fool me again. No I have never done any thing like this but I don't mind getting used to it. I kind of like it." He told her with a grin as he shoved his hands into his pockets. He was human after all and still a little tired from all the soul searching. Lysander did have to admit to himself that so far what he and the reaper had been doing was fulfilling and he couldn't wait to do more and help more ghosts.

Lysander's smile faltered when she mentioned Erica. The reaper had changed back into her old attire and it was bittersweet because Lysander knew that Erica would love be the way the reaper dressed. Lysander was still reclunctant to tell the reaper where Erica was. But then she told him her name and he gave her a small smile. "Freya huh? I knew you'd eventually give me your name. I just had to wear you down." He said as he watched her look around for Erica. He knew what the right thing to do was. It was time to let go of Erica." Erica it's okay you can come out now it's time for you to go." Lysander called out loudly and suddenly a pretty red haired girl in a cheerleaders outfit popped out of thin air and stood beside him."Finally it's about time. It's been a ball my friend but now you need to go live your life and help the cute grim reaper. If you die prematurely I'll kill you." Said Erica with a grin as she wrapped her arms around Lysander and gave him a squeeze. Lysander hugged her back feeling sad that he was about to lose his only friend. Lysander let go if her and looked at Freya. "She's standing right next to me. It's time for her to go." Said Lysander to Freya with a sad smile.

"Don't worry I won't." Said Lysander,just getting her name had been a challenge. Getting anything else from her was going to be an adventure. Lysander quietly watched as Erica nodded to the grim reaper and stepped into the portal. Erica looked back and blew Lysander a kiss and then waved. He couldn't help but grin as he waved back. He really was Hally for Erica. Even though he knew that he was going to miss her terribly. He was going to graduate soon anyway and there really was no point in making Erica hang aroundbecause he eventually would have left her here alone stuck here in this shitty school. He felt slightly better about the situation once he thought about this. Lysander blushed at Freya's comment."So what if I did. I'm not stupid I knew nothing was ever going to happen between us. Yes she was popular and not just because she was a cheerleader she was a genuinely good person and deserved to go to heaven." Said Lysander defensively looking away from Freya to the spot where the portal had been.

When she told him he did well Lysander's face lit up and he grinned. " I must have done a pretty good job for you to say that. You didn't do too badly yourself Reaper. " Lysander told her as he watched her open a locker and pull a book out. He looked curiously at the book she was holding but couldn't see what was written in it." Whoa what's that book fro and where did you get from?"" He asked her realizing that it was probably a grim reaper thing and he wondered just how many tricks the reaper had up her sleeve."I never thought I would hear those words." Said Lysander relieved that they were done for the day and he could go home. He began to walk out of the room and into the hallway. He lead the two of them out of the school and towards his house. The sun was beginning to set and he knew his mother was going to be worried. Wait his mother! How was he supposed to explain bringing home a grim reaper ? "Can normal humans like my mother for instance see you?" He worriedly asked Freya as they walked.

Lysander listened intensely as Freya explained the book to him. It sounded like a very important book and he was slightly surprised that Freya was going to entrust Jim with it sometimes."I'll be very careful and never let it out of my grasp and I'll keep it in the bag." Lysander promised her solemnly, he would protect that book when he got to hold it.

"Yes I have a family even though it's just me and my mother. Didn't you have one when you are alive?" He asked her kind of curious about her life before she came a reaper. But he doubted that she would tell him anything. But that wasn't going to stop him. Lysander listened to her options and he let out a sigh,he really only had one option. I am not going to run away. I couldn't do that to my mother. Option B wouldn't work because she won't believe me and then I'd have to see a psychologist along with my therapist. Option C it is. I'll introduce you as a friend from school and we are working on a school project. You can disappear from her sight when you need to." Lysander said as he let it slip about his thereapist. His mother made him go to therapy sessions because she thought he was emtoianlly unstable because he used to insist that he could see ghosts. He stopped telling his mother he could see ghosts long ago but she still insisted on the therapy sessions. His mother worried about him not having any friends and well she was right. Introducing Freya as a friend would soothe her worries.

After about 15 minutes if walking they reached Lysander's modest house which was built in a very good neighborhood. It was kind of big for two people but it was home."Just follow me and don't say anything." Lysander told her as he led her inside his house. "Mom I'm home." He called out taking his shoes off at the front door and placing them on a shoe rack next to the front door. His mother had a thing about tracking dirt into the house. Hey hun! What took you so long? Oh who's the girl? Be still my beating heart you actually bought a girl home." Said Lysander's mother Katrina smiling brightly at Freyam . Lysander couldn't help but blush slightly. "Mom stop Freya is just a friend and we were at the library working on a project. We're going up to my room to work on it some more." Said Lysander quickly grabbing hold if Freya's hand and ran up the stairs with her in tow. Escaping his mother before she could say anything else. In his room he dropped his bag on the floor and sat down on his bed. His room was very simple and didn't look very lived in. It had hisbned ,desk and chair,closet and dresser
The only thing very interesting about his room was the fact that the walls were painted murals if different things. One wall was a galaxy,another was a city skyline, the last two walls depicted images of heaven and earth.He had painted the walls himself and he had never had another person besides his mother in it before"Sorry about that. Please sit down,make yourself comfortable or stand if it makes you comfortable. "

Lysander hadn't said anything response to his mother not rusting her own son. That was something he thought of constantly and really didn't need it to be said out loud. As soon as they got to his room Freya took her hand out of his and he watched her brush her hands on her dress. Her hands had been cold and while Lysander hadn't held many hands of girls it was painfully obvious that while Freya looked human she wasn't.

Sitting on his bed facing her he nodded at her comment about his mom being a skeptic."She's great she really is but yah being a skeptic is her greatest flaw. She's never believed me about my sight and I doubt she ever will." He told Freya wistfully looking up at his ceiling that had the painted galaxy on it. His father had died when he was a kid and his mother had refused to believe that Lysander could see him. She thought he just couldn't let go if Hus father and that's when all the therapy sessions and thinking her son had gone crazy had started. Freya's voice broight him out if his thoughts and he looked at her with an offended expression on his face. "Well excuse me I thought it was a good idea at the time. Like you said it'll buy us a month or two and I can always come up with more believable excuses after. I don't plan on living with my mother forever I do plan on going to college and moving out so I won't have to lie to her that much anymore. You let me worry about my mother okay. I hate lying to her but I can keep her noise out of this." Lysander told her with conviction. As long as he feined normalcy and did what his mother asked she usually believed every lie he told her. He rarely lied to his mother and she almost always believed him. His biggest lie was that he couldn't see ghosts. He could for a while at least keep his mother away from his new life as a grim reaper's assistant. "I'm not hungry. But I am tired,let me just take a nap and wake me up when it's time to leave. You can stay here or go do whatever reapers do when they have an hour to kill." Lysander told her laying on his side and resting his head on his pillow. He was exhausted from earlier and if he was going to keep helping souls he needed to rest. He had noticed Freya looking at his walls and he briefly wondered what she thought of them. After a few minutes he had closed his eyes and fallen asleep. He hadn't thought he could sleep with Freya still on the room but his body was tired out. An hour's rest would do him some good.

Lysander knew that Freya was right. He couldn't lie to his mother forever but right now lying to her was the easiest thing to do. He'd just have to fill Freya in on his lies and made sure she was okay with them. He could not tell his mother the truth,not now she wouldn't believe him and it would cause her a lot of pain. She would worry about him and it would be even harder to sneak off with Freya to go save ghosts. He knew he could make good excuses for whatever situation. Things would be different when he got older and hanging around a 17 year old girl would be kind of weird. He could always say she was his sister or cousin though. He had a ton of good excuses for a lot of different situations. Freya was just going to have to learn to trust him.

Lysander grunted when he felt something hit his temple. He struggled to open his eyes and found Freya throwing g things at him."Would you stop that? I'm awake now." He said annoyed with Freya.Sitting up and stifling a yawn. He hadn't noticed anything different in his room as it looked the same way when he had woken up. The only difference was pens and erasers littered his bed. "Okay let's go." Said Lysander rubbing his head where the pen cap had hit him. He was just ready to get this over with and have a proper night of sleep.
