~ELYSSA HAMILTON~

"Who jumps off a two story building by a window?" Lewis asked. He was shocked when he saw Alice jump out of the window. It happened so fast. They were watching Alice all that while and after Alice jumped off, Elyssa followed as well. Lewis was shocked beyond words to see two girls jumped off from a window.

"Apparently Alice does," Elyssa replied, being rather blunt. They were following her around to find out more about her life and how to approach her when Elyssa goes against Leviathan, one of the princes of hell, Envy. Now, Alice was at a cafe resting, so they were chatting away

"You did too!" Lewis shouted and for some reason, he was blushing a lot. "Be more lady-like okay?" He lets out a dejected sigh, but averted his eyes, unable to make contact with Elyssa.

"I have been for my whole entire life. It's fine now that I am a ghost right? Anyway, you followed us through the window anyway, didn't you?" Elyssa asked . She did not understand why Lewis was so upset about her jumping off a two story building. She had done jumps higher before after all like jumping off a plane and bungee jumping off a cliff. They were both to boost her reputation.

"I floated down! There's a difference!"Lewis protested. It's true, a blue light surrounded him when he went out from the window and he floated down slowly. "You made me use my magic..."

"Stop fretting over small details, it's cute, but I am trying to focus on brainstorming ideas. Also, when I first met you, I thought you were pretty mature and cool, who knew how childish you would be," Elyssa giggled and blushed a little when she realized she called him 'cute'.

"Well, don't mind me," Lewis sulked, his arms crossed and he was blushing. He was probably not used to being called 'cute'. Elyssa continued to laugh, his face was so easy to read. "H-Hey, stop laughing already!"

"Hey Lewis, can I make myself visible though I am a ghost?" Elyssa finally stops laughing and asks. She asked with a serious look on her face and Lewis was surprised by how in control Elyssa was with her facial expressions and emotions. Rather mature for a sixteen-year-old.

"It's possible, but it would take time and a lot of spiritual energy. When you run out of spiritual energy, you end up absorbing the energy of mortals," Lewis replied. "Why?"

"I wanna try something," Elyssa replied. She concentrated and tried to turn visible, but it didn't work. She sighed and frowned, surprisingly she felt a change in her body and she was visible, but it was only for a couple of seconds as Lewis immediately canceled it by grabbing her shoulders.

"Don't suddenly turn visible in the middle of the road," he sighed.

"Well, it was worth a shot," Elyssa replied. "Who knows? It may come in handy in the future."

She was staring intensely at the coffee on Alice's table. It was obvious how much she wanted to taste the sweet, warm liquid flowing down her throat. It was impossible for her now, after all, she is dead. The last thing she tasted was not exactly pleasant. I want to eat... I want to drink... I want to taste something...

"Fight back the desire, Elyssa, it's the one of the first few steps everyone who died goes through," Lewis said. He looked as if he understood the situation Elyssa was going through and was emphasizing with her.

"I will try my best..." Elyssa replies halfheartedly, still eyeing the coffee on Alice's table. After a short while, Alice got out of her seat and started to make a move. Elyssa immediately caught on and followed Alice. Lewis sighed and followed her, "We are practically stalking her."
