Nyx's pov:

The cameras were flashing in our faces. I was terrified as Siva held me. They were yelling at Siva to show our faces. They wanted my name. Siva held me tighter. One of them grabbed my wrist to pull us apart. I started to tear up a little. I looked at where the car was, it was too far.

"Siva, you can put me down, and we can walk away from the car. We obviously can't get through this way." I whispered in his ear. He turned around and headed back to the beach. He set me down and held my hand. Since the paparzzi followed, I tried to hide away from them. They wouldn't leave us alone, so I decided to take care of this myslef.

"Okay, I really just want to spend today with Siva. I know that all of you have jobs to do, but we just want to ba alone. So I will make a comprmise with you. I will answer 3 questions, then you leave us alone, please." I knew that I had their attention. Once it registered with them, they bombarded me with questions.

"HEY! Let's deal with this in a civilized manner. Please let me choose who speaks, meanwhile, the rest of you need to shut it!" I heard Siva chuckle behind me. They did as I told them to. I pointed out a fat man first.

"Are you and Siva dating?" he asked.

"Yes, we are dating. You." I said as I pointed at a small woman.

"How did you meet?"

"We met at the market. Final one, you." I pointed at a mousey looking man.

"What do the rest of the boys think about you?" he asked.

"I hope that they like me. I am not them, so I really don't know. Thank-you." I told them and turned away. I grabbed Siva's hand and we walked away from them. As we walked, I noticed that they actually gave us some privacy.

"Nyx, you are amazing. I am surprised at how you handled that." Siva then kissed the top of my head.

"Siva, I was scared. I just want to go home, is that okay with you?" I ask him. I felt tears about to leave my eyes. I knew that he could see that.

"Anything for you." He said. We walked back to the car with out any disturbances. We got in the car and drove off. I turned on the radio and we heard "All Time Low" playing. I looked over at Siva and he sighed. He leaned over to change the station, but I stopped him.

"What's wrong? Do you not like this song?" I ask him. He looks at me and smiles.

"Gosh! Have you seeen this band! They can't even dress themsleves!" He said.

"Oh, I am not sure about that. There is one that I fancy." I told him. He just smiled and looked out the front window.

"Really? Which one? There are 5 of them." He said. I kind of liked this game.

"Hm, well he is tall. He seems really sweet." I said. Siva looked over at me.

"Oh, is it that strange Irish looking one?" he assumed.

"No, actually it is the curly haired one named Jay. I think that he is pretty cool." I saw Siva drop his jaw.

"Maybe you should date him then." he said.

"I could, but I actaully have a boyfriend. He is so nice and he is a real gentleman. Jay knows him. I don't think that it would work with Jay." I joked with him.

"Oh, you are going to get it when we get home." Siva said. We sang along to all the songs that came on the radio as we drove home. It was a pretty great day. I hope that what Mrs. Kaneswaran said is true. I hope that there is a way to stop this horrible ghost.

As soon as we got inside of the flat, Siva went to the kitchen and I went to his room. I changed into one of his shirts and some sweat pants. I grabbed his computer and went on a crazy search for this woman. Of course, when I need paper, it is never around. I got up and walked to the kitchen.

"Nyx! Did you have fun meeting Seev's mom?" Nathan asked as I entered. I saw that Nathan and Tom were sitting at the table with Siva.

"Yes, I thought that she was pretty interesting. She was very, insightful." I winked at Siva.

"So what are you doing?" Max asked.

"I am looking for some paper. Where do you keep it?" I ask them. Max pointed at a drawer. I opened it and sure enough, there was paper. I grabbed about 6 sheets and I took the pen that was inside.

"Okay, thanks!" I said as I left them. I found a website that had all of the recorded deaths. Now I need to figure out what her name is. I don't even know what street I lived on. I went on Google maps and just roamed around on street view.

"Hey, if there was ever a time that I needed you, now would be the time." I said. I really hoped that the House Spirit would hear that and come.

"What is wrong?" She asked. She was smiling. It was strange. Not because she was smiling, but because this one was different.

"Do you know the name of the woman that is trying to kill me?" I ask her.

"Her last name is Smith. I know that. I am sorry that I couldn't have been of more help to you." She said.

"It's okay, that actaully helped a lot. If you don't mind me asking, why are you smiling?" She looked at me and shook her head.

"Okay, I guess I can tell you. Nathan, Siva and Max are talking about you. They are surprised that you said that to those photographers. They are really proud." She told me. I blushed a little. She left me to do my work. I sat there and found everone with the last name of Smith. There were 700 Smiths that have died with in the last 7 years. At least I know that it is a woman.
