To Catch A Cardinal

Chapter 9

*??? Pov*

"So who are you again?"

"I am Johnny Ghost, Paranormal Investagator Extrdonair! But currently I am in a little bit of a problem. I am not a ghost really, but until then I am stuck like this."

"Oh ok. Well my name is Kat Toast. Nice to meet you!" I said to the other ghost. He was kinda see through and apparently the others couldn't see him, which was odd.

"Nice to meet you Kat." He said and reached out his hand which I took and we shook hands. He was cold.

"Yeah so, why did you tell me to come over here again?" I asked.

"Oh, well you see, those are my friends and I...umm...need to stay with them so that they can get me back to normal again."

"Oh, are they looking for the starlight crystal?"

"Uhhh....whats that?" He asked. I did a face palm. Got to remember, no one is supposed to know about it, but I never really did test it. So he could help me...

I looked back up at Johnny? Was that his name? Yeah...

"So as far as I know there's this crystal that got destroyed a long, long, long time ago and its peices became scattered across the fortress. Supposedly the thing can make ghosts human again. I found a peice of it and kept it hidden away, unfortunately I wasn't able to find the other peices because of this barrier that Cardinal put up."

"Oh, so if we find these peices, we can return to normal?"

"Yep, thats right."

"Ok, well, I can help you." He said and kinda shyed away from me.

"You what?!" I shot back at him and he flinched at my harsh tone.

"Look, I know that we just meet, but I really need to get back to myself. Can we...look for the prices....together? Maybe?" He asked and flinched away from me, kind becoming a ball. I paused and looked at him.

"Fine, but on one condition, you tell me why my brother is here." He looked confused at me. "Come on! Spit it out!" I said floating over him.

"I don't know who your brother is!"

"DON'T TELL ME HE NEVER TALKS ABOUT ME... NO LIES JOHNNY, WHY IS MY BROTHER JOHNNY TOAST HERE IN THE UNDERWORLD!!!!!" He gasped and his eyes grew wide. His mouth dropped open and he stared at me.

"S-so y-your his s-sister?" He stamered and backed away slowly. "And I already told you hiw we got here. I never knew he had a sister." He said and slowly stood back up but he kept his distance.

"Fine, but when I see Toast again he has got so explaining to do... come on, we're gonna go get those crystal peices." I said as I grabbed his wrist and yanked him up towards the celing, draging a helpless ghost behind me. This is going to take some patience I thought as we went to go look for the hidden peices.
