Chapter 10- Questions.

   "I hope they're ok." Echo said.

"Echo, it's been ten minutes." Ty replied.

   Echo sat in the chair across the table from Ty, she mindlessly kept putting eggs on her plate. When she had cleaned the serving plate, skeletons brought another in piled high with more eggs.

  "That's what, 20 eggs so far?" Ty asked.

  Echo's hand froze above the new pile of eggs. "Sorry..." She retracted her hand and started eating the eggs on her plate.

  "If only you weren't half dead, then I could ask how you stay so thin."

  "I'm not that thin...food just doesn't apply to me...like sleep doesn't apply to the undead."

  "Or brains to zombies." Ty added.

  "Yeah, ok."

  "I still don't understand how you even feel comfortable eating that way."

  "When you live to be over 300, it gets easier."

  "Don't remind me how old you are. I rather keep thinking your still 19."

"Then stop reminding me that I died young."

  "Never."

   "Can't you eat like this?"

  "To some extent. But I can't over eat, gotta keep my figure perfect." Ty winked at Echo as she blushed.

  "Shut up." She said, shoveling another fork full of eggs into her mouth. Ty laughed and ate a biscuit.

  Echo finished her plate and snapped her fingers. The skeletons came out and cleaned up the table, then left.

   Echo left the dining room and walked to her study. Ty followed. "Why not just have them carry you?"

  "I have wings if I don't want to walk."

  "You can also make the plates levitate away." Ty said, "you've been exposed to ghosts levitating things before."

  "I've also was also rapped by a ghost...which you weren't a help at all."

  "I can't help it that I was frozen from shock and embarrassment that you were randomly lying on a bed naked right in front of me."

"And I can't help it that I shoved my sword into your foot afterwards."

  "Because it was clearly the ghost making you do it. I'm to irresistible for you to hurt me."

  "No." Echo turned around. Punched him in the gut. Smiled. And walked into her study. "It was all me." She then shout and locked the door.

  Ty stood there gripping his stomach. He let out a small hurt laugh and then went back to the deck.

Ty climbed the netting toward the crows-nest. Echo was still in her study and he was bored. Ty was never allowed into the crow-nest, and he was interested to see what she saw there. He reached the top and pulled himself over the side of the bucket.

The sky was clear with no clouds in sight. The sun beat down on him, making his sliver-ish skin shine. There were a small flock of birds flying toward the east, chatting amongst themselves.

Ty looked around the crows-nest, it was covered in pictures of him and Echo. Ty smirked and read some of the notes scribbled on the various pictures.
