Lainy had met two people recently who made her feel normal, who made her feel safe. A girl who could see ghosts and even speak to them, and a boy who believed in her ability and even didn't judge her for it. To say she felt... special was not enough. She had people now, both very kind friends she could depend on. Today, she was alone. The two had gone home and she was literally alone for once. A strange feeling it was, not even having a ghost nearby to curl up next to and talk to while they listened. Granted, she didn't like loud noises, and the fact that ghosts to her were silent only served her to like them even more. However, sometimes she enjoyed a nice conversation or two with them, as one-sided as it was.Today, she was curled up by a lake, paw tracing the dirt that almost dipped into the crystalline pool. Today she would try and see if perhaps she could go one whole day without seeing a ghost. It had become a game, seeing if she could avoid them. She liked them, but not seeing one was as rare as.... well... as a four leaf clover. The sun was setting into its afternoon routine, and she now held even stronger hope that she wouldn't see one.
Oh damn it all. In the corner of her eye she saw a wisp of color, rolling her eyes to spot a tail vanish behind a tree. Was that a ghost? Or was it a fox? She really hoped it was the latter, if anything.
