Love of a Dead Girl

Chapter 5: Lily

The sun is starting to set, my two favorite parts of day are sunrise and sunset. Soon, it will be dark, and since ghosts can't sleep, I will either be walking down the halls, thinking, or Sally and Jake will find something to play and want me to join them. They are like my younger siblings. I was an only child when I was alive, and I always wanted younger siblings, so when I first met them, I loved Sarah and Jake. I guess they loved me too because the are like little puppies, following me almost everywhere. I find it adorable, mostly because they are adorable to me.

It looks like we are going with option two because Sally and Jake have just gathered a whole armful of left behind toys from the hotel rooms. They have a whole pile of them in a crawlspace in the basement, I'm surprised no one has noticed it yet. I have to make sure that they take them down one at a time, so nobody sees floating toys going down an elevator. That would definitely cause a lot of unneeded attention. I guess I'm really more like their mom than their older sister. Telling them what they can and cannot do, but only for their safety.

We, or should I say, they, settled on a game of rolling the ball to each other in the basement. The hotel was still being cleared out. These people aren't very quick at getting their stuff and getting out of somewhere. I would hate to see how slow they were, trying to escape a burning building. Playing ball takes a lot more energy for ghosts than it does for humans. It takes a lot of energy just to be able to lift a spoon, much less roll a ball across a whole floor. So, after playing for about ten minutes, I'm pretty dang tired and drained right now.

The hotel is finally cleared, for whatever reason, so the me and the kids can do whatever we want now. Like practice with moving things by putting the toys back in the crawlspace. There isn't really a power plant or anything nearby, so we kind of have to just draw energy from our surroundings, but we have to be careful about it otherwise, like I said earlier, people get suspicious. That's the last thing I want for these kids, is having a bunch of people trying to track them down.

It's amazing how quiet this hotel is with no people. Even the staff had gone home. The quiet is peaceful. I don't think this hotel has been closed since... well, never. It was a little eerie, yes eerie coming from a ghost. We get a bad reputation, not all of us are just out to get the living, some on the other hand, yes, are just evil, like Mr. Jackson, but not all of us. Suddenly, I hear the lobby door opening, and then talking. I thought the hotel was closed. Then, the door closes and someone is on the inside.
