CORYS POV
I stared at the furious stranger in front of me, he had really messy black hair like he just woke up he was wearing a dark blue shirt and black jeans he looked fairly normal, but I just couldn't focus on him like I was looking at the wall instead of him and no matter how many times I tried to focus on him I just couldn't I tried to clean my glasses to see if maybe they're just smudged or something I quickly clean them with my shirt, but it didn't help I still couldn't focus on him I slowly got up and tried to touch him he gave me this weird look and backed away.

NICKS POV
I was standing next to a kid who looked like he was about 8 or 9 he was cleaning his glasses while I just stood there, I don't know why he's here, or who he is, and why he decided to touch Herbert, I noticed that the kid was trying to touch me I didn't say anything and just backed away, but he wouldn't stop I kept backing up, why did he want to touch me that badly? I mean I know it's probably scary to have a stranger in the same room as you, but why would you walk towards them?

CORYS POV
I kept moving forward, I wanted to see what would happen if I touched him, I didn't notice that the stuffed turtle was on the floor I took one more step and tripped over it I thought I would've hit the stranger but all I felt was a rush of cold air like how you would step into a grocery store, I hit the wooden floor face first I slowly got up I checked my glasses to see if they broke luckily there was only a small scratch on the side I put my glasses back on, I turn around to ask the stranger if he was okay but when I did he was just standing there like he was frozen in time.

NICKS POV
The kid tripped over Herbert and fell right through me it felt....weird, I turn to the kid he had a face that was crossed between confused yet amazed, "ok so I guess I should explain I'm an incorporeal spirit" I said with confidence, "wait or a what?" the kid said with an even more confused look, I had forgotten that I was taking to a little kid," fine to put it simply I'm a ghost and you can call me Nick" not even a second after I said that the kid was bombarding me with questions like "YOU'RE A GHOST!!", "WHAT'S IT LIKE?","DO YOU KNOW ANY OTHER GHOSTS", and " HOW LONG HAVE YOU BEEN A GHOST" I honestly had to take a second to understand what he said after a minute or so I had thought of the answers for his multiple questions. "Ok first off calm down, second being a ghost feels the exact same way as you would be if your were alive just that you can do this that only ghosts can do like go through walls, levitate a bit, and can't be seen unless something I had a really big connection to was touched and I suppose that big connection is Herbert and lastly I can remember somethings from when I was alive not a lot though"

CORYS POV
I payed attention to everything Nick was telling me, "wait how do you know about this, like connections and about being invisible to everyone else?" He gave a small chuckle "did you think you were the first kid to move into this house?, there were a lot of kids before you some older, some younger, a few girl, a few boys, but they all had something in common", "what?, that they were alive" I give a small chuckle at my own joke,"NO, they all left either because they believed that this place was haunted with evil spirits or they grown up and left this house to follow their own dreams" Nick gave a small sigh and looked away from me, I felt bad I wanted to say something, but I just couldn't think of anything to say, after what felt like a few minutes I spoken again "well I won't leave so why not be friends?" I said with a stupid smile on my face I offered my hand.

NICKS POV
"well I won't leave so why not be friends?", the kid sticked out his hand, but I didn't shake it I mean why would a kid want a dead kid as a friend it just wouldn't make sense, but since he was going to live here I guess I didn't really have a choice, I tried to grab his hand but it kinda phase through "oh, right I forgot you're a ghost" the kid started to laugh a bit and so did I "hey I almost forgot what's your name?" The kid stopped laughing and said "my names Cory", "well Cory I guess you have a new friend" I said with a smirk, " yeah I guess I have a new ghost buddy."
